His muscles bulged, veins like thick black pythons writhing and crawling beneath his skin! He looked like an ancient demon god splitting the heavens and earth. Every muscle contained power enough to destroy stars!
He raised the massive black axe he had been carrying on his shoulder! With a loud shout, he swung it fiercely at Qiu Tu's sword!
The axe blade cleaved through the void, cutting black fissures into space! A massive amount of cataclysmic power overflowed!
The next second, a black axe beam, a thousand miles long, swept out with overwhelming force, like the light of judgment at the end of the world.
Wherever it went, the earth was torn apart as easily as fragile paper. Mountains crumbled and disintegrated like sand sculptures under the impact of the axe's blades!
That powerful attack from a peak sixth-tier evil god caused the entire world to begin to shatter!
At this moment, whether it was the fifth-order evil god who was holding the line, the intelligence agent who was spying from the side, or the Princess Xi and Shen Yuzhou who were watching from the sidelines, they all had fear on their faces.
After all, both of these people's full-force attacks were something that they felt they couldn't match!
Even the usually carefree Zhuwu put away her usual playful manner.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a solemn expression, "A peak sixth-tier strike. And... above the seventh tier."
"The eastward flow is over."
With those words, the two attacks finally collided completely the next second!
As a result, something surprising happened to everyone except for Zhuwu!
Those two seemingly evenly matched moves were decided in an instant!
The giant axe, which seemed capable of splitting the heavens and earth, was instantly vaporized like a melting bubble the moment it came into contact with the white sword light! It didn't even block for 0.1 seconds!
The next moment, a white sword light struck him! Dong Liu's eyes widened, and he roared in despair, "No!"
Then it was directly swallowed by the sword light!
Even so, the sword light continued its relentless advance! It slashed through the thatched hut, through the six or seven fifth-tier evil gods behind it! It slashed through the Heavenly Edge Waterfall behind the evil gods! It continued slashing all the way up to the "Isolated Mountain Range"!
In that instant, the evil god fell, space shattered, and the waterfall stopped flowing!
With a deafening roar, the sky and earth trembled!
The once towering and majestic "isolation mountain range" has begun to break in part!
Spiderweb-like cracks spread across the surface of the "isolated mountain range," quickly transforming into massive ravines!
Huge boulders, accompanied by billowing dust, collapsed down the mountainside. As they tumbled down, they collided and rubbed against each other, breaking into even smaller fragments and raising clouds of dust that blotted out the sky!
Seeing the effect of that attack, everyone present, including all the evil gods, was stunned!
Everyone knows Qiu Tuqiang, but no one expected him to be this strong!
That was the peak sixth-tier Great Evil God "Dongliu"! He couldn't even withstand a single blow?!
But then, the battle was still not over!
While everyone was stunned, Qiu Tu, carrying a three-foot-long sword, leaped up like a giant eagle, and in a few flashes, he killed a fifth-level evil god with a single sword strike!
In just a moment, he slaughtered all the dozen or so fifth-order evil gods who were hiding on the sidelines to hold the line!
Having come into contact with the "Sealing Jade," his combat power reached the seventh rank in a short period of time. Killing these fifth-rank evil gods was as easy as killing chickens for him!
So, before Shen Yuzhou, Princess Xi, and Li Feng could react, Qiu Tu was already surrounded by corpses and rolling heads!
Crimson blood dripped from the sword. Amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, Qiu Tu slowly turned around and whispered, "I am willing to use this three-foot-long sword to save humanity from its impending doom..."
A massive amount of cataclysmic power began to pour into the Northwest Region through the gap in the "Isolation Mountains"!
This also brought all the spies present, as well as the three groups, back to their senses...

Chapter 613 Qiu Tu's Emperor-like Appearance (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
To be honest, those sent to this battlefield to gather intelligence are all top-notch intelligence agents from various factions, or even... the heads of those agencies.
After all, both sides in the battle were super-tier cataclysmic beings of the sixth rank or above, and there were also more than a dozen fifth-rank evil gods watching from the sidelines.
If some low-level Cataclysm of the first or second tier were sent to gather intelligence, they might not even be able to withstand the combined force of the two sides in the battle and would die instantly.
Therefore, those who can be sent to this battlefield to gather intelligence are at least fourth-tier or higher Cataclysms.
Experts of this caliber typically hold high positions or are top agents in various intelligence organizations. They have witnessed far too many major battles and pivotal events that have shaped history.
To sum them up in one sentence: What kind of situation haven't they seen?
But this scene today... they've really never seen anything like it before!
With a single sword strike, he slew a peak sixth-tier martial arts-type evil god, and the aftershocks killed over a dozen fifth-tier evil gods! He even severed a piece of the "Isolation Mountain Range"?!
Especially the latter—can the "isolation mountain range" really be cut down?!
Isn't this a bit too much?!
As for what happened next, Qiu Tu swiftly and decisively killed the remaining few fifth-tier evil gods as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs; those were nothing compared to what was to come.
After all, killing a peak sixth-tier evil god was so easy before, so killing a few fifth-tier evil gods now would be a piece of cake. This only proves that Qiu Tu's attack just now wasn't his full power; he still had some strength left!
Aside from being shocked by Qiu Tu's terrifying strength, most of the spectators were more concerned about Qiu Tu's words: "I am willing to use this three-foot-long sword to save the human race from its impending doom!"
Previously, everyone thought Qiu Tu was a rather selfish and greedy person. Although he used all sorts of means to climb to a high position, he didn't really care much about the gains and losses of the human camp.
This is also why many high-level officials criticize Qiu Tu, believing that he is too calculating and lacks magnanimity.
As a result, no one expected that after Qiu Tu became the No. 1 of the 7th Shelter, he stopped playing power games and instead killed more than 20 fifth-level evil gods in seven days, clearing out all the major enemies in the "Northwest Region"! Moreover, he made such a lofty vow!
This immediately elevated Qiu Tu's vision and ambition to an unprecedented level!
This also brought his personal charm to its peak!
Therefore, Princess Xi, who was watching the battle from not far away, had her eyes flashing wildly and her hands clenching involuntarily.
Yan Yan, a perceptive girl, clearly noticed the princess's condition. She looked up at the princess beside her and asked, "Sister Xi, are you alright?"
Hearing Yan Yan's words, Princess Xi came back to her senses. She was silent for a moment before shaking her head.
However, everyone could see that she was not being sincere.
Yan Yan's face still held that angelic purity, but the smile in her eyes was almost impossible to suppress.
Clearly, as a female dog, the stronger and more prestigious her master, the more proud she feels...
.....
Compared to Princess Xi's attempt to conceal her true feelings, Shen Yuzhou was much more direct.
Shen Yuzhou looked directly at "Candle Dance" beside him, and then asked with a serious expression, "Is she Qiu Tu's opponent?"
"Candle Dance" glanced at Shen Yuzhou, then said with a look of surprise, "Old Deng, don't you know your own limitations? How could you possibly be his match?"
Shen Yuzhou: .....
Shen Yuzhou's forehead vein throbbed, and then he said with a deep expression, "I'm talking about you! You're Qiu Tu's opponent!"
"Candle Dance" was even more surprised, "Why would I hit my new dad? Aren't we on the same side?"
Shen Yuzhou: .....
Although he knew that "Candle Dance" was deliberately trying to annoy him, Shen Yuzhou was still furious when he saw "Candle Dance's" surprised expression and heard her infuriating words!
His eyes turned bloodshot, and he began fiddling with the thumb ring on his thumb.
Upon seeing this, "Candle Dance's" expression immediately turned serious. She said earnestly, "It's hard to say. It's probably fifty-fifty."
Hearing "Candle Dance's" serious answer, Shen Yuzhou's expression also became serious.
The reason why "Candle Dance" is a secret weapon is because she is not an ordinary seventh-level cultivator, but a seventh-level cultivator who was "reincarnated as a god"!
"Gods," as deities standing at the pinnacle of combat power in this world, possess the most powerful talents, combat abilities, and combat experience in this world.
It can be said that any "god", even the weakest one, is invincible among those of the same level.
It might be a bit of an exaggeration for someone at the early stage of the seventh rank to defeat someone at the peak of the seventh rank.
However, fighting across one or two minor realms is still no problem.
Therefore, although "Candle Dance" is only a "reincarnation of a god" at the early stage of the seventh rank, her actual combat power is no less than that of "Li Feng" who has the combat power of the mid-seventh rank when she is at full power and supported by her female army.
In fact, if she doesn't slack off and truly unleashes her full strength, it's quite normal for her to fight on par with a late-stage seventh-tier opponent.
Now, according to "Candle Dance," she and Qiu Tu are only evenly matched.
This proves that Qiu Tu's combat strength has also reached the late stage of the seventh rank.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuzhou's expression became extremely solemn.
Although he couldn't understand why Qiu Tu had such strength, it did explain a lot of things.
For example... why was Qiu Tu able to kill Dongliu in one move?
For example... why was Qiu Tu able to subdue "Li Feng" in one move?
For example... why did Qiu Tu have the confidence to go head-to-head with "Candle Dance" back then!
'Qiu Tu really possesses such terrifying strength?'
'So, admitting defeat back then was actually the right thing to do?'
Thinking this, Shen Yuzhou was unsure whether to feel fortunate or wary...
At that moment, "Candle Dance" seemed to sense Shen Yuzhou's emotions.
She narrowed her eyes, carefully looking at Qiu Tu, and then spoke again, "Old Deng, actually... Qiu Tu's true strength doesn't seem to be that strong."
"His true rank and strength should only be at the peak of the sixth rank."
"Even if he didn't know what kind of cataclysmic ability he used to temporarily boost his combat power to the seventh rank."
"But... it's still not worth mentioning."
Upon hearing "Candle Dance's" words, Shen Yuzhou couldn't help but turn to look at her.
"Candle Dance" seems to have genuinely become interested in Qiu Tu.
Her gaze hadn't left Qiu Tu since the beginning of the session.
Her face, which was exactly like Shen Lingshuang's, was filled with thought. "His true strength lies in that one move he uses: 'sword technique.'"
"That sword technique called 'Opening Heaven' has an incredibly powerful amplification ability, practically elevating his power to a level that doesn't belong to him at all."
"It was precisely because of this sword technique that he was able to so effortlessly kill a peak sixth-tier Great Evil God. He could even shatter the 'Isolation Mountain Range'!"
At this point, Zhuwu's interest intensified.
She stared intently at Qiu Tu, licked her lips, and a hint of madness crossed her face. "Do you think... he can still use that move now?"
Shen Yuzhou frowned slightly, his mind racing. After a moment, he concluded, "I think it's difficult."
"If this move is really that powerful, then the side effects and costs must be huge. He definitely won't be able to use it a second time in a short period of time."
"Candle Dance" nodded slightly, then glanced at Shen Yuzhou with a sly smile, as if the devil was tempting him, "Then Old Deng... what do you think, should we spar with him and test him out?"
Shen Yuzhou understood the subtext of Zhu Wu's words almost instantly. So his expression froze for a moment, then his face kept changing, and his eyes began to flicker.
to be frank.
If Shen Yuzhou didn't understand what Qiu Tu had been doing these past few days, then after Qiu Tu killed "Dongliu" and more than a dozen fifth-tier evil gods today, and shouted that boastful ambition, he had already guessed Qiu Tu's purpose with a high degree of certainty.
Qiu Tu clearly wants to achieve physical "sainthood"!
This physical "sanctification" is not a transcendental sanctification, but rather a sanctification of reputation.
To put it bluntly, before leaving, Qiu Tu planned to elevate his influence and status in the "Northwest Region" to an unprecedented level!
In this way, even if he leaves the Northwest region, he will still be remembered by countless people and will still have a huge influence in the Northwest region!
The thought sent chills down Shen Yuzhou's spine: if Qiu Tu really succeeded, then Qiu Tu would truly become the uncrowned king of the "Northwest Region".
Even if Qiu Tu goes to the "core area" and even if the 3rd Shelter takes control of the "Northwest Region", as long as his strength remains at the top tier of humanity, he will still have a huge influence on the affairs of the "Northwest Region".
While he may not be able to accomplish anything significant in the "Northwest Region," he will certainly prevent other forces from doing certain things.
This is not a good thing for the Third Sanctuary, which wants to completely control the "Northwest Region".
And just two days ago, Qiu Tu had already pushed for the "overseas enclave" bill in two major shelters.
Every beginning is difficult. But Qiu Tu has already made this start, and the subsequent progress of the plan will not be possible without him...
