Fang Yuan was too distracted to hide his intentions. As soon as he broke through outer space, he began gathering power. The world's power converged, and unimaginable might flowed through him.
A breath of supreme existence beyond ordinary life forms emanated into space. Even though it was millions of kilometers away, Earth's people felt suffocated by the overwhelming pressure.
This was the natural dominance of higher beings over lower beings. Since Fang Yuan's cells had reached a level one-millionth of a world god's power, he no longer belonged to mere mortals. Even in the outside world, he could be considered a fraction of a world god.
The terror of a world god was something Earthlings could hardly fathom.
At this time, the stellar life form was only six hundred million kilometers away from Earth. The light and heat emitted by it reached Earth, making the western hemisphere look as if it had become day again.
Countless people walked outside, looking up at the sky, puzzled. Didn't it just get dark? Why is it bright again?
"Commander, look! That meteor... no, that seems to be a star. My God, why is the star moving? It's getting bigger..."
"The entire western hemisphere is lit up, as if it were morning..."
High-ranking officials in China were all fixated on the screens. The screens were directly connected to the telescope, showing the approach of that stellar life form.
Other major nations were doing the same, each watching the star closely and issuing orders to launch interstellar nuclear missiles. These weapons, originally meant for hypothetical extraterrestrial threats, were now activated.
...
The starry sky twisted, and unimaginable power gathered.
As Fang Yuan sped toward the stellar life form at superluminal speed, his body rapidly expanded. Ten meters, a hundred meters, a thousand meters, ten thousand meters...
In an instant, Fang Yuan became a giant towering over ten thousand kilometers tall, standing tall and firm.
At the same time, a giant sword, 20,000 kilometers long, appeared in his hand. The surrounding starry sky twisted from the sword's presence.
"Die!"
When he was still a hundred million kilometers away from the stellar life form, Fang Yuan struck. He raised the enormous sword, wielding unimaginable might to cleave downward.
Wherever the sword passed, cracks appeared in the starry sky. The terrifying sword's edge instantly pierced through over a hundred million kilometers of space, heading straight for the rapidly approaching stellar life form.
At that moment, the stellar life form seemed to sense the danger. A pair of giant eyes and a mouth appeared on the star's surface, flashing with fear. It tried desperately to dodge the terrifying sword slash.
However, the stellar life form's body was simply too large, and it was moving too fast. It only shifted a few thousand kilometers before the immense sword slashed into it.
In an instant, the unimaginable sword strike pierced through the stellar life form's body, carrying unresistable power that tore it in half.
"Boom!!!"
Only then did a faint tremor reach across the starry sky. Normally, sound couldn't travel in a vacuum, but the power was so terrifying that it transmitted through the vibrations of space.
A horrifying shockwave rippled from the point where the sword had torn the stellar life form, instantly ripping it into two, with each half flying off in different directions.
Because of the light-speed delay, it wasn't until several minutes later that Earth's people finally saw the scene.
Through the telescope, they saw a blurry giant in the starry sky, slicing the star in half with a single blow.
At that moment, the entire Earth's high-ranking officials were stunned, their mouths agape, their thoughts nearly frozen.
...
The terrifying sword slash that tore apart the stellar life form did not dissipate. Instead, it continued to soar through the endless starry sky, cutting into the depths of space.
"Roar!!!"
Only now did the stellar life form let out a painful scream. The sound wave shook through the vacuum, creating ripples in the starry sky. Even in space, this type of sound wave could not be stopped.
Where the sound wave passed, some nearby asteroids were instantly shattered into dust, even those as large as several thousand kilometers in diameter couldn't escape.
The once hundred-thousand-kilometer-wide stellar life form now became two halves, one just over four kilometers in diameter and the other a bit more than ten kilometers, both flying off in different directions, yet still being drawn toward Earth due to inertia.
"It didn't die? Then let's finish it off!"
Fang Yuan's eyes were cold. He slashed once again. The enormous sword, 20,000 kilometers long, cleaved through the starry sky, carrying earth-shattering power as it pierced through space.
Almost without any time gap, ignoring the barriers of time and space, the sword reached the larger half of the stellar life form's body in an instant.
"Roar!"
This time, the stellar life form reacted, trying to resist. Terrifying light and heat erupted, and its body seemed to swell a hundred times, transforming into a super star several million kilometers in size.
However, the terrifying sword giant still moved forward, unstoppable, tearing through all obstacles, annihilating the stellar light and suppressing it with immense force.
"Boom!!!"
A blinding light erupted in the starry sky about 31 million kilometers from Earth. This area now belonged to the solar system, and Earth's high-ranking officials watched through the telescope, as though two suns appeared in the sky.
The entire western hemisphere was illuminated, the light spreading across the land, dispelling all darkness.
However, the light didn't last long. The unimaginable sword giant continued to cut through all resistance, splitting the now millions of kilometers wide star back into two.
The stellar life form, now torn, quickly lost its brightness and returned to its previous size, once again splitting into two halves, flying off in different directions.
"Ugh... unwilling..."
Faintly, Fang Yuan heard this sound. It wasn't spoken aloud but transmitted as a mental wave from the stellar life form. It seemed to have gained some intelligence.
"From the moment you approached the solar system, your fate was sealed."
Fang Yuan responded coldly to the dying stellar life form with a mental wave.
The life force of the stellar life form quickly dissipated. Its life energy grew weaker and weaker.
Yet, it still struggled, sending out a mental roar: "I do not want to become a god... I... unwilling..."
"Boom!!!"
But before the stellar life form's transmission was completed, its three body parts simultaneously collapsed, turning into scattered flames, and its life force dispersed.
A star life form that sought godhood fell.
"Become a god?" Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes, pondering.
However, he didn't think too much about it. After confirming the stellar life form was truly dead, he was about to leave when his eyes flashed. He reached out, and a massive star core flew toward him from the flaming region scattered throughout the starry sky.
It was a star core with a diameter of over a hundred kilometers, rapidly disintegrating. Fang Yuan could sense that some of its origin was dissipating, seemingly absorbed by the cosmic starry sky.
"This is…?"
Fang Yuan was shaken: "World origin? No, although it has the aura of origin, there's too much impurity, and its level is much lower than my world origin."
"Could this be the 'god origin' the stellar life form spoke of?"
"What kind of god could be so weak?" Fang Yuan muttered.
If his words were overheard by those so-called gods, who knows if they would cry to death in despair?
