Crushed and Killed
Greed completely overwhelmed reason, and the high priest stomped on the giant serpent beneath his feet, letting out a mad roar.
"Roar!"
The black Black Serpent, whose size was comparable to a small mountain, roared, shaking the mountains and forests, upon receiving its master's command.
A foul-smelling gust of wind rushed towards Chen Fan, its gaping maw, large enough to swallow a wooden house whole, snapping open with terrifying force like a landslide or tsunami!
Under the sheer force of this overwhelming power, the Fire Crow Tribe warriors in the front row trembled uncontrollably, their faces filled with utter despair.
However, Chen Fan's expression remained unchanged.
He stepped forward, taking a small step.
This step did not utilize any of the so-called Totem Power of this world; he simply swung his right fist towards the colossal, gaping maw.
A dazzling golden light suddenly shone from his small fist!
Amidst the light, a phantom image of a Millstone totem, half alive and half dead, clearly distinguished by black and white, endlessly rotating, flashed by!
Thump!!
A deafening roar, as if a heavenly drum had been struck by a deity, erupted!
That was not an explosion of energy, but a violent collision between pure, condensed power and matter!
"Pfft!"
The giant snake's roar abruptly ceased.
Before everyone's stunned eyes, its ferocious head, as tough as steel and seemingly indestructible, exploded on the spot like a ripe watermelon under that tiny fist!
Red and white matter mixed with fragments of jet-black scales flew everywhere!
That unparalleled, terrifying force, even after shattering the snake's head, still retained its momentum, penetrating its massive body.
The massive body, weighing tens of thousands of kilograms, was actually blasted away by this punch, flying backward like a black meteorite and crashing into the elite army formation of the Blackwater Black Serpent Tribe behind it.
"Boom!"
The earth shook violently, and smoke and dust billowed into the sky.
Hundreds of elite warriors who couldn't dodge in time were instantly crushed into mincemeat.
"No!!"
Witnessing his Life-Bound Battle Beast, which he had painstakingly nurtured over a century, being killed by a single punch from a ten-year-old child, the high priest let out a roar.
He finally realized that the child before him was not relying on any external object!
That was a real, incomprehensible, terrifying power originating from itself!
Extreme rage and a budding fear drove him completely insane.
"Ahhh!!"
The high priest roared to the sky, and black energy surged forth from his body.
The ground beneath his feet instantly transformed into a black swamp emitting a strong stench, visible to the naked eye, and spread wildly towards the entire Fire Crow Tribe at an alarming speed!
"Blackwater Domain! You little beast, I'll make sure you die a gruesome death!!"
The high priest frantically formed hand seals, and from the black swamp, a gigantic Water Dragon composed of highly poisonous Blackwater and countless wailing Vengeful Souls suddenly rose, carrying a terrifying aura that filthled all things and corroded living beings, and once again pounced on Chen Fan!
This time, Chen Fan finally spoke.
"Noisy."
A cold, emotionless voice.
The moment he finished speaking, the golden Millstone totem on his chest, which had been there since birth, suddenly shone brightly!
He no longer suppressed it, and a trace of the true power of the Martial God's Dao Principles quietly leaked out.
Buzz!!
In an instant, a gigantic Black-and-White Millstone phantom, obscuring the sky and the sun, slowly emerged behind him and began to rotate.
That Millstone was ancient, as if it had existed since the beginning of the universe.
Half of it is pitch black like Abyss, representing the end and death of all things; the other half is as bright as the rising sun, symbolizing endless creation and reincarnation.
A supreme law, beyond the comprehension of all things in this world, descended with a deafening roar!
Amidst the utter horror and disbelief of all the Blackwater Black Serpent Tribe warriors, as if their very souls had been frozen in place, the colossal Life-and-Death Millstone, carrying an unparalleled will to crush everything, crashed down with a deafening roar!
The Water Dragon, composed of Vengeful Souls and deadly poison, didn't even have time to utter a wail before it was instantly swept into the Millstone and crushed into pure nothingness in an instant.
Next up was that arrogant high priest.
The protective black light surrounding him was as fragile as paper under the Millstone, shattering instantly.
"No! What is this... what is this thing?!"
The high priest screamed.
However, the Millstone is merciless.
His body, Divine Soul, and even the Totem Power he had cultivated throughout his life were mercilessly swept up and crushed by that slowly turning Millstone, turning into the most primitive particles, and completely erased from this world.
With the complete annihilation of the High Priest, the sprawling Blackwater Domain vanished like snow and ice exposed to sunlight.
The Millstone image of the millstone, obscuring the sky, slowly faded away.
The battlefield fell into a deathly silence.
After a few breaths.
"Holy Son!!"
"The Holy Son is invincible!!"
Once they came to their senses, the Fire Crow Tribe members erupted in a thunderous celebration and shouts that shook the heavens and the earth. They looked at that slender figure with eyes filled with fervent worship and awe.
Chen Fan, however, did not look at them.
He calmly turned around, his gaze passing over all the ecstatic clansmen, and landing on his father's already cold body.
The godlike indifference in those deep, star-like eyes slowly faded.
Instead, there is a touch of warmth and sorrow unique to the human being.
He walked to his almost dazed mother, reached out his little hand, gently tugged at the hem of her clothes, and whispered in a childish yet incredibly reassuring voice:
"Mother, let's... go home."
That gentle "We... go home" was like an invisible hand, instantly silencing all the heart-wrenching cries.
The distraught mother, finding solace in her son's innocent yet reassuring voice, seemed to have found her last lifeline. She allowed him to support her as she walked step by step toward the already cold and muscular body.
Chen Fan's expression was so calm it was heartbreaking.
He didn't cry; he simply silently used his chubby little hands to gently wipe away the congealed bloodstains from his father's face.
On the battlefield, as the high priest and his natal Black Serpent were completely wiped from the world by the Millstone phantom, the thousands of the Blackwater Black Serpent Tribe elites, who were full of murderous intent, seemed to have all their courage and souls instantly drained away.
They stood frozen in place, the Bone Spears in their hands suddenly feeling as heavy as mountains.
In his mind, all that remained was that towering Black-and-White Millstone that blotted out the sky, and that ten-year-old child who had killed the giant beast with a single punch.
After extreme fear comes the instinct for survival.
"Ah!"
It's unclear who was the first to have a mental breakdown, but they threw down their weapon, let out a piercing scream, and turned to run away.
That scream was like a fuse that ignited a powder keg.
"Boom!"
The entire Blackwater Black Serpent Tribe's military formation collapsed instantly.
Thousands of elite warriors scattered like birds and beasts, not daring to even glance at the boy, scrambling to flee for their lives back into the dark jungle they had come from, wishing they had two more legs.
