A Milk-Scented Slash
The Archon Orobashi opened his bloody maw.
A terrifying concentration of Archon power gathered within that serpent's mouth.
When it opened, the surrounding space cracked like a spiderweb, unable to withstand the pressure.
The Archon Orobashi raised his serpent head high, Raiden Ei's tiny figure reflected in his purple eyes.
Without the slightest hesitation, he struck at Raiden Ei like lightning, jaws snapping.
His fangs were like towering mountain peaks hanging upside down.
"Is this the pressure of a god?"
The people of the Douluo Continent could feel the muscles all over their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
It was a fear rooted in their genes.
Since ancient times, who knew how many humans had been bitten by snakes? Over time, the mere mention of the word snake was enough to make them afraid. Even across the sky screen, the Archon Orobashi's bite had undoubtedly brought that terror in their genes to its peak.
Many people had even begun instinctively checking behind themselves for snakes.
"I'm afraid a bite from this Archon could destroy more than half the Star Dou Great Forest," Gu Yue Na couldn't help saying.
Di Tian's pupils contracted as he watched the sky screen.
The Archon Orobashi's bite was countless times more formidable than that of any Soul Beast he had ever seen.
If he tried to take it, he would be torn to pieces in an instant!
Facing such a terrifying attack, how could she win?
Even if the gods of the Douluo God Realm took that attack, the casualties would probably be dreadful!
There were many gods in the Douluo God Realm.
But on the sky screen, she was alone.
Di Tian couldn't help saying, "I'm afraid it will be a bitter victory."
"Even if she doesn't die, she'll be left half-crippled."
Xiong Jun said, "What narrow victory? I reckon she'll finish him off in an instant."
Di Tian and Gu Yue Na were both taken aback.
Finish him off in an instant?
What kind of logic was that?
Long ago, the Douluo God Realm had paid an enormous price to suppress the Dragon God. More than half the Seven Elemental Gods had died.
Xiong Jun said, "Look at Raiden Ei on the sky screen. She's still so calm, without the slightest trace of fear."
"Even now, Raiden Ei hasn't appeared in the livestream to give her opinion."
"From that, we can deduce that Raiden Ei definitely finished him off in an instant."
Gu Yue Na, Di Tian, and the other Ferocious Beasts all felt that Xiong Jun's analysis did make sense.
"But how could she finish him off in an instant?"
The other Ferocious Beasts were all full of questions.
Clearly, it was completely beyond anything they could imagine.
It was just like people in feudal times being unable to imagine how modern people landed on the moon.
Xiong Jun said, "What's the rush? The sky screen will surely tell us."
"That move will surely shake the world once again."
Di Tian pondered for a while. "Xiong Jun, you really are clever for a moment and muddleheaded for a lifetime."
Xiong Jun reached up with a paw and scratched his head. "Aw, I'm not that outstanding."
The scene on the sky screen continued.
In the scene, she raised her head. A violent bolt of purple lightning shot swiftly into the sky, a long purple blade.
It slowly emerged from Raiden Ei's chest. Raiden Ei raised her hand and slowly drew the long blade from her chest.
Raiden Ei raised the blade.
Soon, people finally saw clearly that what had shot into the sky was not lightning at all, but the light of a blade.
The blade light rose so high that even with their heads raised, they couldn't see its end. Its purple light was so bright that it made people mistake it for lightning striking down.
?????????
The people of the Douluo Continent couldn't help widening their eyes at the sight.
The blade light was so long that it reached straight into the heavens.
Some people carefully raised their hands and rubbed their eyes, wanting to make sure they hadn't seen wrong.
After confirming that they hadn't seen wrong,
they felt only disbelief, like frogs at the bottom of a well seeing the world outside.
Raiden Ei's hand, holding the long purple blade, came down swiftly.
The blade light that reached straight into the heavens swept down with a howl. Wherever it passed, space itself shattered, unable to withstand the pressure.
The next moment, the blade light fell.
Starting from Orobashi's serpent head, the entire great serpent was swiftly split in two from head to tail, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
How could an Archon be slain so easily? The Archon power within him surged rapidly, and his split flesh squirmed, trying to join back together in one last struggle.
But it was no use.
Streaks of lightning surged through the blade light, tearing that flesh into nothingness.
One slash, just one slash.
The pupils of the people of the Douluo Continent widened sharply.
On the sky screen,
the purple blade light slowly faded away.
The Archon Orobashi had vanished?
Looking down from Raiden Ei's high vantage point, all that remained below was an incomparably vast, bottomless gorge.
The gorge stretched from the sea to the horizon. Dozens of li wide, bottomless, and smooth as a mirror throughout, the abyss split the entire sea in two.
Purple lightning flowed slowly along the edge of the abyss, while seawater poured over it, forming a waterfall that stretched for who knew how many li.
The abyss extended from the sea into the distance, its end beyond the reach of the naked eye.
At the end of the sky screen's scene,
there was a small lake at the boundary between Musoujin Gorge and the other islands.
The lake was a distinctly different color from the other lakes on the islands. Its water was purple, and a closer look revealed sparks of lightning dancing on the surface.
Suddenly, a fish leaped over from a normal lake and was instantly electrocuted to a crisp by the dancing lightning.
One slash, just one slash, had completely suppressed the Archon Orobashi.
At Shrek Academy,
Tang San watched the scene, his Mysterious Jade Hand trembling uncontrollably.
At that moment, he finally understood how ridiculous his earlier thoughts had been.
Mysterious Jade Hand, Torrential Rain Pear Blossom Needles-
before her Musou no Hitotachi, they were all trash.
Even Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, judged by its true power, could at most blow apart one mountain in Musoujin Gorge.
And Musoujin Gorge had, if not hundreds of mountains, then thousands.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness."
Tang San was immensely relieved that he hadn't set his sights on Yae Miko like that lot from Spirit Hall.
He had thought that if Raiden Ei wanted to slay the great serpent Orobashi, even if she didn't die, she would be left half-crippled.
He had never expected it to take just one slash.
One slash had carved out Musoujin Gorge.
It completely overturned his worldview.
"Is a god's power really that terrifying?"
Tang San simply couldn't understand how an attack could be so terrifying.
In the world of his previous life, inner power had indeed existed.
The power used on the Douluo Continent was called Soul Power.
Then what kind of power did Raiden Ei use?
He was now like a hornet watching a drone's propellers tear apart its nest, utterly unable to comprehend that the drone was merely a toy in human hands.
This was absolute domination from a higher dimension.
