Facing the endless tide of goblins, the Eternal Ice Demon's mental defenses began to crumble.
At that moment—
A goblin lunged from the side, sinking its teeth deep into his arm.
The grating sound of fangs scraping against ice echoed sharply!
Though it failed to bite his hand clean off, it left a deep dent.
"Damn beast! Get off!" the Eternal Ice Demon roared in fury.
He swiftly grabbed and crushed the goblin.
But in that instant of distraction, several more goblins pounced, biting down on him.
As a third-tier Dominator, he couldn't be killed so easily, enduring the bites—leaving only piles of shaved ice in their wake.
Yet if this continued, death was inevitable.
The Eternal Ice Demon scanned his surroundings, preparing to unleash one final Glacial Domain.
"Whoosh!"
A beam of light shot toward him!
The surrounding goblins began casting spells, disrupting his incantation.
What was once just a sea of goblins on the ground now took to the skies, filling the entire space!
The sheer spectacle was suffocating.
The next second—
A blinding flash erupted!
Every goblin unleashed a synchronized long-range attack at the Eternal Ice Demon.
"Damn it, how is this possible?!"
Seeing such a dense barrage, the Eternal Ice Demon had no choice but to defend.
But against the endless onslaught, his remaining mana was far from enough.
After holding out for a few seconds, he shot toward the sky again, attempting to tear through space itself.
"Boom!"
Yet the void stood firm—unyielding as indestructible steel.
There was no escape.
From afar, Lin Tian sneered, "Trying to run? Do you really think that's possible?"
Refusing to surrender, the Eternal Ice Demon poured all his strength into fleeing, hoping distance might break Lin Tian's control.
But before he could get far—
The entire horizon ahead was blotted out by an endless swarm of goblins descending upon him!
The Eternal Ice Demon froze in shock, then whirled around—only to find the same nightmarish sight behind him.
"Why?! How can this be?! Can ten trillion lowly creatures truly kill me?!"
Though the ancient realm was vast, ten trillion goblins could blanket half the world.
The rear goblins had already turned around, sealing off any escape.
Panic twisted the Eternal Ice Demon's face. "I surrender! Spare me, and I'll help you seize more divine sparks, conquer more realms! Just let me live!"
"Whoosh!"
Lin Tian teleported above, towering over the goblins, the Eternal Ice Demon, and the very heavens.
With cold disdain, he said, "Hmph. Your worth is too insignificant. So... die in peace."
Though the Eternal Ice Demon could easily dominate other realms and harvest countless divine sparks, the payoff period was too short.
Lin Tian only needed to mass-produce Pseudo-Deity goblins, devouring nearby major realms and using their flesh to fuel even more production.
Quantity would birth quality—an unstoppable tide, sweeping all before it.
Initial estimates suggested this strategy could crush even eighth-tier Dominators. The ninth tier might pose a challenge, and the Celestial Heavens would come later.
"You—! My worth is too low?! I am—!"
Before he could finish, Lin Tian cut him off impatiently, "Still got tricks? Show me now. Don't waste my time."
Driven to madness, the Eternal Ice Demon burned his divine spark, forcibly restoring his health and mana.
He attacked with everything he had!
"Hmph."
Lin Tian simply stepped back, leaving the rest to the goblin horde.
Of course, burning the divine spark rendered it useless—yet by the laws of the Supreme Will, it could still be devoured for ascension.
