Under the blazing sea of golden flames, Bi Xiao stood firm, watching as Lilith turned to ashes at his feet, her soul also incinerated.
Before Lilith's soul was burned, in her weakest state, Bi Xiao read her memories and discovered the location of her treasury, a double harvest.
Bi Xiao, who even admitted the killer's breathtaking beauty, destroyed a beautiful thing with his own hands. Coupled with the vast life essence, this double pleasure made Bi Xiao immerse in the moment.
The countless cells in his body cheered, elevating his life level by a significant step.
Bi Xiao could feel that he had once again strengthened comprehensively, and he touched the familiar feeling of reaching his limit.
It was the same familiar feeling as when he advanced to the sub-Sky Father level.
However, compared to the sub-Sky Father stage, stepping into the Sky Father stage felt extremely vague, so vague that Bi Xiao thought that if he stopped slaughtering and only accumulated over time to transform into a Sky Father, this time could be measured in tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.
The gap was unimaginably large.
No wonder the gap between the sub-Sky Father and Sky Father was astonishingly large; without experiencing a greater transformation, how could one be called a god?
Fortunately, Bi Xiao was different from other races. Unlike those born with advantages, his achievements were purely acquired through his efforts.
All his achievements were obtained through his own hands and efforts.
A smile curved on Bi Xiao's lips.
The joy of harvest was self-evident; it was another beautiful day.
Now, Bi Xiao could only say that Dormammu was truly a good person, even if he couldn't descend to Earth, he still worked hard to "cultivate" Bi Xiao, to the point of "sacrificing himself" to become Bi Xiao.
Such things should be encouraged.
Originally, Bi Xiao planned to trouble Kaecilius, but now he changed his mind. Instead of seeking revenge, he wanted to cherish Kaecilius, thinking of Dormammu as a great benefactor, and Kaecilius as well.
Just like this time, he must strive for his career and make it his clear goal.
Such obstacles to the great Dormammu's descent must be eradicated at all costs.
Bi Xiao thought joyfully.
After a moment of joy, he felt a pair of eyes focusing on him. He turned around and walked over, the blazing flames automatically parting to form a path. At the end of the fiery passage stood Hela.
Her eyes flickered, seemingly apprehensive of the blazing holy fire.
It's understandable, this holy fire was a powerful white magic derived from the power granted by Kamar-Taj, its power astonishing, especially with the compressed magic burning. The temperature and properties were beyond anyone's resistance.
Lilith, a demon lord, was burned to ashes along with her soul, which indicated its power.
Hela, a member of the Odinson family, naturally recognized its worth.
What Hela feared more was the current Bi Xiao.
At this moment, Bi Xiao hadn't closed his MAX mode, his body surging with magic power that even made her feel a bit fearful. It was terrifying, that such a fragile Midgardian body could contain such immense energy.
She once felt that he wasn't much different from the old man Odin.
Strong enough to make her shudder.
"Truly spectacular. It's the first time I've seen such power in years. You're called Xiao?" Hela maintained her pride despite being surprised by Bi Xiao's strength. It was pride ingrained in her bones and soul.
It was pride in herself and in the glory forged by Asgard, which would not be tarnished by anyone.
'No matter who she faced, she wouldn't defile the Odinson family banner.'
"Hela, daughter of Odin."
Bi Xiao stood before Hela. She was tall, nearly his height. As they looked at each other, Bi Xiao's eyes flickered.
He was contemplating that this woman seemed to be a Sky Father too.
And a member of the Odinson family with great divine power. Such a level of Sky Father would be an excellent hunting target.
But Hela wasn't easy to kill.
Hela's position was high, and she was one with Asgard. Away from Asgard, she would be weakened but not killed. Killing her would take great effort.
Even Odin couldn't kill Hela back then, only banishing her to Hel.
Preventing her from leaving.
Even during Ragnarok, when Asgard was destroyed, Thor and Loki thought Surtur's Twilight Sword killed Hela, but she survived and was active later.
To kill Hela, the prerequisite was to sever her connection with Asgard.
To achieve this condition, Bi Xiao couldn't do it now. Either destroy Asgard completely, meaning all Asgardians, including Thor, would have to be slaughtered.
This was impossible, unless he could withstand the army of undead in Valhalla.
He believed that if he killed Thor, the army led by the past Odinson family members in Valhalla would attack him immediately.
Bi Xiao quickly realized that Hela was a poisonous cake he couldn't bite.
And Hela's level was fixed. After Bi Xiao grew further, Hela's value would diminish.
It was better to focus on hell, heaven, or other invading dimensions.
Understanding this, Bi Xiao's killing intent gradually dissipated.
He also removed Hela from his hunting list.
"I look forward to our next meeting, Hela."
With an unmanageable cake before him, Bi Xiao didn't even bother to look. After speaking, he disappeared in a flash of golden magic. Hela was stunned.
After recovering, Hela jumped up, angrily yelling.
"Damn human, you broke into my home, smashed everything, and destroyed my castle, then ran away. Have you no shame?"
