Chapter 576

The two World Stars that Gu Ding had refined were just prototypes.

However, when Gu Ding refined them, he added a total of twenty-six Dao markings, which far exceeded the number of Dao markings of an ordinary pseudo-god item. Most craftsmen could only add a dozen or so Dao markings at most, but Gu Ding's Dao markings were twice as many as those craftsmen's. This also made the power of the two World Stars extremely terrifying, almost on par with a spiritual item.

As soon as the World Star appeared in Gu Ding's hand, it exuded an endless terrifying aura.

On the second level of Hell Gate, the stability of space was limited. Once there was an energy reaction of a half-step True God, the space would show abnormal distortion and tearing reactions.

Around the crystal bead above Gu Ding's palm, the entire space was torn apart like a spider's web. It was a shocking sight.

"That bead in Gu Ding's hand is a real spiritual item, right? It exudes such a terrifying aura. "

"It's not a real spiritual item. If it was a real spiritual item, the space of the second level would collapse directly. However, this bead is definitely the pinnacle of pseudo-spiritual items. It's only one step away from being a real spiritual item, "the person who said this was a professional craftsman.

"Isn't using a weapon of this level against the rules?" Some people were a little dissatisfied with Gu Ding's method of crushing his opponent with equipment.

"How is it against the rules? Everyone was allowed to use weapons in the arena. Besides, Gu Ding has a pseudo-spiritual item, and it's not like Barete doesn't have one. It's not unfair at all. "

The onlookers present thought that Gu Ding was holding a pseudo-spiritual item.

Only the black-armored referee on the side could see that Gu Ding was holding a World Star. As the keeper of Hell Gate, his strength was infinitely close to that of a true god, and he had some understanding of the methods of some true gods. Nevertheless, his heart was filled with shock.

"How did Gu Ding do it? A Lower Rank deity has condensed a World Star! The operation of a World Star must rely on the power of the world. It is not something that can be driven by telekinesis. Did he condense a Miniature World?! How is that possible?! "

Warden Victoria and the three commanders who were watching the competition through the video saw the World Star in Gu Ding's hand, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"I thought he only had a miniature world, but I didn't expect him to even condense a world star. However, according to what Oliver had said, he shouldn't have condensed a World Star before entering the Gates of Purgatory. Could it be that the powerhouse named Ingold refined it for Gu Ding? "Victoria frowned slightly." If that's the case, Gu Ding's identity and background … "

The three Defense Rank Commanders also knew that Gu Ding had not condensed a World Star before entering Purgatory Gates. They all agreed that Gu Cang must have left the World Star for Gu Ding.

Even if Gu Ding were to admit that he had refined all the stars in the world, no one would believe him. This was because one had to be proficient in Dao patterns in order to refine World Stars, and the study of Dao patterns would take tens of thousands of years. However, Gu Ding was only sixteen years old.

In Gu Ding's palm, the World Star rotated slowly, and endless terrifying power spread out in all directions.

After Barete saw the crystal bead, his pupils constricted abruptly. Although he did not recognize the World Star, he could feel the terror of this thumb-sized crystal from afar. He immediately knew that his so-called promise of three moves was a trap that he had dug to bury himself.

Seeing that Gu Ding's aura was increasing in intensity, Barete could only bite the bullet and take out the heavy halberd from his Inventory. For the sake of his life, he could only choose to go back on his word, or else he would be killed by Gu Ding in one blow.

The people below the ring were a little surprised to see Barete's actions.

Barete's heavy halberd was nearly two meters long and was made of special materials. It was extremely heavy and was also a pseudo-spiritual item. However, he had not used it for many years. He had dominated the second level of Purgatory Gates for many years with his bare hands. Gu Ding was the second person to force him to take out the heavy halberd.

The last time was more than a hundred and thirty years ago. At that time, Barete's opponent was a powerful swordsman. The two of them battled for three days before Barete ended his opponent's winning streak. His opponent soon left the second level of Purgatory Gates and headed toward the third level.

Seeing Barete take out the heavy halberd, everyone ignored his promise to let Gu Ding have three moves. Instead, they looked forward to the battle even more. This was because a similar battle had happened more than a hundred years ago. If they missed this battle, they did not know when they would be able to see it again.

On the other hand, many people who were watching the video from outside the arena were annoyed. They regretted not arriving earlier to get a seat in the arena. Otherwise, they would have been able to watch the battle between the two live.

In the ring, an emperor's projection appeared above Barete's head while he held the heavy halberd. The projection was of a black-armored emperor sitting majestically on a bronze throne. Beside his feet, a giant black halberd was stabbed into the ground.

Seeing this scene, Gu Ding's expression did not change much. It did not matter if his opponent had a pseudo-true god spiritual item weapon or armor. To him, the outcome of the battle was already decided.

The World Energy of the Miniature World seeped out of Gu Ding's body and urged the crystal bead in his palm to leave his palm and charge toward Barete. Wherever it passed, the space was distorted and torn apart.

It was such a terrifying attack, yet strangely, there was no sound at all. All the roars were absorbed and swallowed by the torn space.

Everyone could only watch helplessly as the void was forcefully torn apart, leaving a black scar that sent chills down their spines. Everyone was amazed. What kind of powerful attack could produce such a terrifying effect!

Only Gu Ding himself knew that his attack was launched with the World Energy. If the World Energy was strong enough, it would be enough to suppress all existences below the level of True God. However, the strength of his World Energy was still limited. The attack power of this World Star was similar to the power of the demon face, which could kill a six-star half-step True God.

In Barete's eyes, the speed of Gu Ding's attack this time was not considered fast. However, it gave off a strange feeling that there was no way to dodge it. He also knew that it was not an illusion, so he did not choose to dodge. Instead, he held the heavy halberd with both hands, the muscles on both his arms bulged, and suddenly swung it with all his might.

A fan-shaped blade gleam gushed out along with the swing. The Emperor's projection suddenly reached out to hold the giant halberd and swung it horizontally. Soon, it merged with the blade gleam.

A moment later, the blade gleam collided with Gu Ding's World Star.

"Crack!"

The World Star in the shape of a silver crystal bead was not hindered at all. It directly passed through the blade gleam and continued shooting toward Barete.

Barete's expression changed and he clenched his fists. Suddenly, his aura skyrocketed.

His short, coffee-colored hair began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye before everyone's eyes. Soon, it reached his waist.

The original middle-aged man's face seemed to have experienced a time reversal, and his appearance became younger.

The muscles all over his body swelled up bit by bit. Even his bones were slightly bigger.

His transformation was caused by the Goblin Tribe bloodline that Gu Ding had mentioned before.

That transformation was completed in an instant. He swung the halberd again and exerted force with both his legs, pouncing toward the silver crystal bead. The heavy halberd swung out again, and the blade touched the silver crystal bead directly.

"Dong!"

A sound like a giant bell being struck reverberated, and waves of energy rippled in the void.

At the same time, a huge force came from the heavy halberd. The web between Barete's thumb and index finger was torn, and blood spurted out. He tried his best to hold on to the halberd, not wanting it to fall out of his hands. However, the heavy halberd still flew out.

Gu Ding's finger moved, and the World Star suddenly changed direction. It descended from the void and suddenly accelerated, directly piercing through Barete's right shoulder, bringing with it a spray of blood.

Barete spat out a mouthful of blood as if he had suffered a serious injury, and his aura quickly weakened. His originally steady standing figure also fell to his knees. His previously youthful appearance quickly returned to his original middle-aged man's appearance.

Everyone was dumbfounded by the scene that had unfolded before them.

"One hit … He actually only used one hit …"

"How strong is Gu Ding?! Barete clearly has the combat effectiveness of a four-star half-step True God, but he was completely defeated in one hit, and even with the help of the Dark Sky Heavy Halberd. "

"This is too scary. Gu Ding's cultivation level is only that of a Lower Rank Deity …"

"No wonder the Cosmic Sea was full of news about him previously. This guy is as strong as a monster. The first on the Black Iron Monster Ranking, he lives up to his name! "

…

Below the ring, the crowd was discussing. Many people on the second level of Purgatory Gates knew about Barete's strength. He was almost an undefeated legend on the second level. However, on this day, he was defeated in one hit. Moreover, his opponent was a young man who was not even twenty years old, and whose cultivation level was not even that of a Middle Rank Deity.

"Boss!" Kevin was the first to rush into the ring when he saw Barete fall to the ground.

On the other hand, Bruce and the others looked at Gu Ding with fear and worry written all over their faces.

Gu Ding withdrew his stars and looked at the baby-faced young man. "He only suffered physical injuries. Inject a few bottles of physical recovery medicine, and he'll get better soon."

Upon hearing that, Kevin hurriedly took out a few bottles of Body Recovery Potion from his storage space and injected them into Barete.

Gu Ding frowned slightly when he saw this. His opponent had only used an ordinary two-star physical recovery medicine, which was effective on ordinary two-star Middle Rank Deities. However, it had no effect on Barete, who had a special physique. "His physique requires three-star medicine to be effective."

Bruce and the others quickly exchanged their points for a few bottles of three-star medicine from the keeper of the order. They rushed into the ring and injected the medicine into Barete's body.

Gu Ding turned his head to look at the referee. "This should count as my win, right?"

"Winner, Gu Ding!" The referee suddenly remembered to announce the result of the match.

"Also, I want to challenge the three keepers." Gu Ding did not plan to stay on the second level any longer. He was ready to leave after getting his points.
