Amias was absolutely furious. Lord Starry Sword and the others knew they must treat him with caution. Only by using the god's power would they have the chance to kill him.
"Amias, you are courting death," Lord Feng said coldly.
"Don't waste your time bragging before you die!" Amias snorted.
He swung the huge black metal rod in his hand, striking suddenly at Lord Feng and the others.
With twin booms, two rays of golden light shot outwards from the bodies of Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng.
Instantly, the entire underground cave was completely pierced through by the golden light.
'What is that?' Amias thought in surprise.
He probed the strange and powerful aura, feeling wary. 'Are these people truly from another era?' he wondered. He had never felt this kind of power before.
"Lord Starry Sword, let's finish this battle as soon as possible!" shouted Lord Feng.
With that, the two of them fully unleashed their god's power. In an instant, the majestic pressure between heaven and earth of the Archean Age began to press down on the two of them. They knew that it was crucial to kill Amias as soon as possible. If they wasted time, it would be dangerous for them.
"Kill the bastard!" yelled Lord Starry Sword.
A series of Supreme Sword Intent Forms and the tremendous spear intent instantly shot out, hurtling towards Amias.
With a roar, Amias swung his dark metal rod.
He thrust with all his strength to parry the attacks.
Thin hairline cracks formed on the surface of the rod.
Then, with a shattering sound, the weapon of Amias was smashed into pieces. The rod had not been able to withstand the combined god's power of Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng.
"No!" bellowed Amias. "My rod! How could it break?" The loss of his divine weapon plunged him into despair. 'What powerful force is this?' he thought, desperate and afraid.
Without his rod, he was defenseless against the attacks. He felt a pain that seemed to penetrate into his very soul.
In that instant, his body felt lighter than air. It was crumbling into pieces, and each piece was dissolving into dust.
"Death, I see my death," he tried to say, but he could no longer speak. In his last moment, Amias saw the most important events of his life flash vividly through his consciousness. Then there was nothing. Everything had returned to darkness and emptiness.
Upon the death of Amias, Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng quickly withdrew their god's power, sealing it in their God Characters.
But the pressure between heaven and earth had also harmed them. Their blood vessels burst, leaving them drained and weak.
"If we had delayed in sealing the god's power, even just a second longer, we would have been crushed," Lord Feng said darkly to Lord Starry Sword. They collapsed onto the ground. Blood covered every inch of their skin.
In the consciousness world of the Archean Age, if their bodies were crushed, even the Rule Soul Avatar would not be able to save them.
Seeing that Amias was dead, Darren quietly activated his Assimilating Force. He swallowed a purple light into his body.
However, Darren still couldn't feel any substantial change in himself. He didn't know what the purpose was served by the purple light.
"Well, at least the immediate problem has been solved. Give me and Lord Starry Sword a period of time to recover. Then let's find the entrance to the relic," Lord Feng said.
Darren nodded. "I really want to see what this relic looks like," he said musingly.
And so time passed as Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feing recuperated. After three months, they were ready to leave. Indeed, given the fact that in this situation they couldn't use their god's power to heal themselves, they still managed to recover with amazing speed.
It was time to act. Darren and the others began their search for the real entrance to the relic.
"Have you detected the entrance, Rule Soul Avatar?" Darren asked.
The Rule Soul Avatar had spent the past three months using his Spirit Power to look for the entrance. He had checked every inch of the underground cave, including the depths of the freezing water.
"No, I haven't," said the Rule Soul Avatar. He was perplexed. He couldn't imagine where the entrance to the relic could be located.
"It's not one of the four passages?"
