Dong!
In the midst of that all-destroying swordlight, a gold light broke through space like a meteor. It pierced through all the swordskills and struck the Six Paths Sword. It was sucked into the Six Paths Sword.
Everyone could finally see that the golden light was actually a gold coin. It was a very bright gold coin.
Boom!
The world that was centered around the Six Paths Sword collapsed the moment the coin appeared.
The power that was going toward the Six Paths Sword suddenly changed direction. It went toward the coin.
The scariest thing was that the super elites were able to prevent their powers from leaking out and being sucked into the Six Paths Sword. But now, even Outer Sky God and Sacred's leader were unable to prevent their powers from leaking out. A part of their powers flowed out of their bodies and went toward the coin.
Even the Six Paths Sword's own power was sucked into the coin. The coin's power surpassed the Six Paths Sword's.
Dong!
There was a crisp sound.
Six Paths Emperor couldn't control the Six Paths Sword, and it fell to the ground.
The tip of the sword pierced the ground, and the Six Paths Emperor was still holding onto the hilt.
He wanted to pick it up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift the sword.
The sword was getting heavier and heavier, and the Six Paths Emperor's hand was being pulled down.
Everyone was frozen as they watched the Six Paths Sword fall to the ground. That power was close to that of a god, yet it was being suppressed by a single coin. Even Six Paths God couldn't hold onto the sword.
Six Paths Emperor, who had lost his sword, was frozen. He had never lost his sword before. To him, the sword was the person, and the person was the sword. Without the Six Paths Sword, it was like he had lost his soul. He didn't want to fight anymore.
"So, even gods are afraid of taxes. Taxes are scarier." Han Sen sighed, and then he snapped his fingers.
Gold coins rained down from the sky like rain, covering the entire battlefield and landing on the Six Paths Emperor's body. As the coins landed on him, they weighed down on him like mountains. The Six Paths Emperor felt as if he was carrying a mountain on his back.
In truth, the Six Paths Emperor hadn't moved at all. He raised his head amidst the rain of gold coins and looked at Han Sen. He suddenly smiled and said, "I've lost. The sword is yours. From now on, there will be no more swords in the Six Paths. When you see me again, you will see a pure Six Paths."
After saying that, the Six Paths Emperor swiped his finger across the air, seemingly severing some sort of connection with the Six Paths Sword. As a result, the Six Paths Sword lost its spirituality and fell to the ground, losing its luster.
Blood trickled out of Six Paths' mouth, but he smiled and walked away. He conceded and left the battlefield. He didn't even want the Six Paths Sword, which had been suppressed on the ground.
But Han Sen wasn't too happy about his victory. After this battle, Six Paths had given up the sword in his hand, but the sword in his heart had become even scarier. When they met again, it would be even harder to beat him.
Han Sen picked up the Six Paths Sword and left the battlefield. He returned to the sanctuaries.
Six Paths and Han Sen left, but the commotion caused by this battle was getting worse. It shocked the entire Fourth God's Sanctuary.
Six Paths was half a step away from becoming a god, but he had still been defeated by Dollar. People were becoming more and more curious about Dollar's background. At the same time, Dollar had become the most popular candidate to win this Divinity's Bout. Almost everyone believed that, if nothing unexpected happened, Dollar would become the leader of the ten Son of God's.
Many media outlets in the Alliance also reported this explosive news.
"The Return of the Invincible King," "The Dollar That Suppressed Everything," "God Versus God," "The Power of Money," and many other titles popped up. They described the battle between Dollar and Six Paths Emperor, and Dollar's victory.
"Dollar is the strongest."
"He has to take first place."
"Don't worry. When has Dollar ever disappointed us? If he wants to, he'll take first place."
The Divinity's Bout in the Fourth God's Sanctuary had nothing to do with the general public, but it had become a hot topic in the Alliance.
It was a shame that not many humans were able to see the fight. Even the reporters only knew about it through their connections or interviews with demi-gods.
Because they couldn't find Dollar himself, many reporters chose to interview demi-gods who were qualified to watch the fight.
Fang Mingquan's interviews were the most popular because he was the most popular. He had a lot of connections, so he could interview many demi-gods. Plus, he was Dollar's biggest fan. So, people who liked Dollar would watch Fang Mingquan's interviews.
"Demi-God Tang, what do you think about the fight between Dollar and Six Paths?" Fang Mingquan asked Tang Zhenliu, who he had a good relationship with.
Tang Zhenliu smiled and said, "How should I put it? Six Paths Emperor is strong, but he's not as strong as Dollar. I'm sure Dollar will become one of the ten Son of God's, and he might even become the first."
…
Most of the demi-gods who were interviewed said the same thing as Tang Zhenliu. They all said Dollar would become one of the ten Son of God's.
But there were also some who disagreed. They believed Dollar had only beaten Six Paths out of sheer luck. There were many creatures and spirits, and if Dollar was so arrogant, he would be at a disadvantage in the later rounds. He might not even make it to the top one hundred, let alone the top ten.
The two sides kept arguing, and it attracted a lot of attention in the Alliance.
Unlike the humans, the elites of the Fourth God's Sanctuary were studying the fight between Dollar and Six Paths. They wanted to find a way to defeat Dollar, and they hoped to find a way to defeat him.
Dollar had become the number one enemy of the super elites who wanted to become one of the ten Son of God's. Some creatures were happy they wouldn't encounter Dollar before they became one of the ten Son of God's, but some creatures who were sure to encounter Dollar were researching ways to defeat him.
Han Sen didn't think too much about it, though. He kept practicing his Dongxuan Sutra. His fight with Six Paths Emperor had leveled up his Dollar geno core to super. It gave him the confidence he needed to become the first Son of God's.
Of course, if all of his geno cores could reach super, that would be even better.
So, before the next round began, Han Sen kept practicing his Dongxuan Sutra.
When it was Han Sen's turn to fight, it was four days later. Han Sen didn't have a chance to fight again, as his opponent chose to forfeit.
After four rounds of fights, Han Sen's opponents all forfeited. Dollar's fame overshadowed all the other super elites.
