Chapter 1021: Slaying a God, Slaying the Divine Consciousness!
"I have waited for this day for so, so long. I've thought countless times about how I could defeat you. It's true that, in terms of sheer power, I'm not your match. In terms of experience, I'm not your match either. I don't have enough years behind me, and the gap between us is enormous. But today, you've made a grave mistake. Did you really think that when I risked my life to strike at you with that sword, it was just to drag you down with me?"
As he spoke, white-golden flames suddenly ignited in Big Cat's eyes. The aura of his entire body changed with it, and strange and twisted halos appeared around him, especially concentrated around his head. The God-Slaying Sword in his hand suddenly turned white, like a white torch that blazed with pure light!
Big Cat slowly raised the God-Slaying Sword in his hand. "The God-Slaying Sword is the bane of divine consciousness! Even if you flee to the ends of the world, and even if you cross into another world, your divine consciousness will not be spared!"
From the day he chose to join the Golden Lion clan, Big Cat had regarded the Savage Tiger King as his shadow opponent. All along, while training diligently, under the guidance of the Golden Lion King, he had studied everything about the Savage Tiger King in depth.
Thus, while the Savage Tiger King did not know much about Big Cat, Big Cat had thoroughly researched everything about the Savage Tiger King. What abilities his domain possessed, the characteristics of his Demon King Swords, how great his true strength could be, and indeed, the invincible state of his Netherworld Reflection. All of this had been thoroughly studied.
Today, when truly facing this great enemy of the Golden Lion clan, the pressure the opponent exerted on Big Cat was immense, but it was all within his expectations. He was far younger and less experienced than his opponent, but that was only in comparison. He was no greenhouse flower. After all those years in the Great Beast Arena of Kali City, how many life-or-death struggles had he survived? How could someone with a hundred deathmatch victories be ordinary?
When facing the Savage Tiger King, Big Cat had set his expectations for the opponent even higher; this was a habit developed in the Great Beast Arena. He would rather overestimate an opponent than underestimate them.
Tactics had to change at any moment according to the opponent's movements. To counter this Savage Tiger King, Big Cat had prepared no fewer than ten different plans before the match, ready to adapt to any situation. But at the core, it was all about finding a way to severely wound the opponent with the God-Slaying Sword.
In the past, when the previous generation's Golden Lion King faced the Savage Tiger King, he had been suppressed by the opponent's Demon King Domain from start to finish, unable to bring out his full strength, and ultimately died with regret. Thus, what the Savage Tiger King sensed from the God-Slaying Sword was powerful killing intent, sharpness, and strength... but not its true power.
The God-Slaying Sword, purely in terms of its quality as a divine item, was not at all inferior to the Demon King Twin Swords. It simply didn't reveal its effects as directly as the twin swords did. But precisely because of this, when it was properly activated, the power it could unleash was even more terrifying.
