Annihilate Them All!

Yun Potian's mind was roaring at this very moment, a mixture of shock and fury as countless thoughts clashed within him.

He simply couldn't fathom how Lu Chen had reached such a level!

But he knew that if he didn't kill Lu Chen today, he might never get another chance!

This was a Peerless Prodigy!

To have reached this point alone while still in the living world and unsealed was truly unprecedented! It was even more formidable than several ruthless individuals from the past!

"Good, good, good!"

Yun Potian uttered the word "good" three times in a row, his gaze turning icy. "You've been hiding your strength so deeply, but I'll tell you this: the might of a Divine King brooks no challenge!"

Boom!

His body suddenly grew, divine light surging around him as if he were inflating. In an instant, he became as massive as a mountain, thousands of meters tall. Countless golden rays erupted from his form, divine might exploding outwards. He extended two colossal golden palms and slammed them towards Lu Chen.

The force was earth-shattering, the sound a deafening roar.

The power was so immense it seemed to freeze the very void! He intended to crush Lu Chen like a mere mosquito!

Without hesitation, Lu Chen unleashed his [Level 2: Sacred Domain]. Incredibly brilliant divine light flared all around him, forming a thick, golden shield that was impervious to all techniques.

He himself, however, balled his fists and directly smashed them towards Yun Potian.

Crack!

Yun Potian's hands slammed hard onto Lu Chen first, emitting a thunderous boom. His formidable Divine King power struck the golden shield, only to feel like it had hit a hardened pea. His palms stung, his power became chaotic, and his face was etched with shock.

His full-power strike hadn't even managed to break through Lu Chen's defense! How could he not be astonished?

Boom!

At the same time, Lu Chen's incredibly ferocious punch finally landed squarely on Yun Potian. The terrifying, dazzling fist light was like a burning meteor, containing countless strands of Sword Intent and killing intent, dense and boundless.

Yun Potian roared, and almost simultaneously, countless golden lights appeared on his body. Threads of law weaved through them, forming a solid defense.

However, it was all in vain.

Lu Chen's punch was destructive, like a fist from the Heavenly Dao itself.

Boom!

The area for thousands of miles around trembled violently from the immense impact. A deafening sound echoed through the heavens and earth, as if the sun had crashed into this world. Countless Divine Mountains snapped and broke under the force of this single punch. Even areas thousands of miles away felt a slight tremor.

The terrifying sound caused the Qi and Blood of those on the periphery to become disordered, and they cried out in pain on the spot.

Li Wangshu, Miao Wu Fa, Miao Xuanji, Dugu Wudi, and the others each spat out a mouthful of blood, their ears bleeding crimson. Shocked and terrified, they frantically retreated further away, disregarding everything else.

Keep in mind, they were standing outside the light circle. Even outside the circle, there were powerful restrictions and laws. Yet, these restrictions and laws hadn't fully mitigated this power. This was simply terrifying!

From a great distance, they saw waves of residual energy spreading out like ripples from the depths of the purple light circle.

Bang!

Then, a figure shot out from the light circle's periphery with lightning speed. It wasn't until they slammed into a Divine Mountain that they finally stopped with a loud boom.

The Divine Mountain crumbled, and the figure fell to the ground, vomiting blood.

Yun Potian, shocked and horrified, struggled to his feet, his eyes burning with boundless rage. He had been sent flying by a single punch? He, a dignified Divine King, had been sent flying by a single punch? How was this possible?

In another direction.

The Sword Marquis, who had just emerged from the ruins once more, was utterly stunned. He looked towards Lu Chen's direction in disbelief. Yun Potian wasn't a match for Lu Chen either? Sent flying by Lu Chen's punch? It felt like a dream.

Swish!

Lu Chen suddenly turned his head and looked back towards the Sword Marquis, saying coldly, "Do you remember what I said earlier? I said I would make you regret it!"

Boom!

Lu Chen's body suddenly vanished, impossibly fast, and he reappeared directly in front of the Sword Marquis.

The Sword Marquis's hair stood on end.

At this moment, time didn't allow him to think any further.

Within a thousandth of a second, he had already completed a powerful forbidden technique. Raising his hands high, he roared, "Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Slash!"

This was a supreme art even more terrifying than the Six Paths Reincarnation Slash!

The Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Slash borrowed the power of the Heavenly Dao to create absolute suppression over all things, crushing them completely with immense Heavenly Dao might.

However, no matter what kind of slash it was, Lu Chen still had only one punch.

This punch fused countless martial dao profound mysteries.

It contained the Great Sun Qiankun Sword Qi, the Stars Sword Qi, and the spacetime power of the Years Swordsman.

"You still dare to boast!"

Lu Chen roared, directly smashing forward with a fierce punch.

The entire world seemed to explode.

The Sword Marquis felt his heart clench again, sensing an extremely terrifying aura, and his scalp instantly went numb.

He couldn't block it!

He still couldn't block it!

A sense of dread filled him, almost driving him mad.

What kind of fortuitous encounter had this Lu Chen obtained? He had completely surpassed him!

He was no match for such a peerless, world-shattering strike!

Even though he wanted to dodge, he couldn't at this point. He could only grit his teeth and roar, as if fighting for his life, and slash his sword light fiercely towards Lu Chen.

BOOM!!

The next moment, their attacks collided again, erupting in another incredibly brilliant and dazzling light. The potent and terrifying divine light illuminated an area of several thousand miles.

Amidst the deafening roar, the Sword Marquis's sword light was instantly shattered and evaporated upon impact. Lu Chen's ferocious and peerless fist, carrying unstoppable power, magnified in his pupils and smashed directly towards his left cheek.

BANG!

A sickening sound, and a spray of blood mist.

Accompanied by piercing screams, divine king blood splattered everywhere.

The Sword Marquis's body was sent flying backward again, half of his cheek obliterated, along with half of his forehead, red and white matter flying everywhere.

But he was a Divine King-level combatant with terrifyingly vigorous vitality. Even with half his brain blown apart, he wasn't dead. His entire body crashed heavily into the distance like a tattered sack.

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, without a second thought, Lu Chen activated his [Level 2 Sacred Domain] again. It spread out like a dazzling turtle shell, blocking a streak of black light that attacked from behind.

That streak of black light, upon hitting his [Level 2 Sacred Domain], still couldn't break through it. However, this black light seemed to carry a corrupting energy.

The moment it struck, Lu Chen's [Level 2 Sacred Domain] began to rapidly darken, emitting waves of foul, cold energy, as if stained with ink.

It was Yun Potian attacking again!

It was a black cone, its surface imbued with countless foul and sinister powers, specifically designed to break through a Divine King's protective divine power. Even a Divine King of the same level would be severely injured if ambushed by it.

As a result, this cone still couldn't harm Lu Chen.

Seeing this, Yun Potian was completely terrified. Without a second thought, he transformed into a beam of light and shot towards the sky, attempting to escape this world entirely. At the same time, he waved his hand, and the jade boat in the high sky suddenly enlarged, like a mountain, crashing down towards Lu Chen below, attempting to block Lu Chen's pursuit and create trouble for him.

But Lu Chen's eyes were cold, and he didn't stop. His body shot upwards into the sky.

WHOOSH!

Golden sword light was unsheathed from his waist again, containing unimaginable laws and divine power, representing the ultimate destruction in the world. It instantly sliced through the middle of the jade boat.

CRACK!

The entire universe was split in half at that moment, the cut clean and uniform. Instantly, its divine might was lost, and it became like scrap metal, falling from the high sky.

With this single sword strike, all the divine essence and laws within the jade boat were destroyed.

Even more terrifyingly, the sword light, after cleaving the jade boat, continued its trajectory without pause, as if alive, and rapidly pursued Yun Potian, as if it would not rest until it caught him.

Yun Potian's face contorted in terror, his soul about to fly out of his body.

At this moment, where was the demeanor of a peerless Divine King?

He looked like a stray dog!

How many years had it been!

How many years had it been since he had been so pathetic!

The last time was countless years ago, before this world suffered its calamity.

Now, he was forced to relive his primordial youth, returning to his weak beginnings.

His mentality had collapsed.

"No!"

Yun Potian let out a great cry, countless beams of light erupting from his entire body.

Divine King Forbidden Artifacts were thrown down like they were free, dense and rumbling, striking at the golden sword qi in an attempt to block it.

The dazzling golden sword qi was indeed ground away by the chaotic attacks.

However, Lu Chen's body, still bathed in blinding golden light, suddenly burst forth from the dense forbidden artifacts, and another peerless sword light slashed across Yun Potian's body.

Yun Potian desperately dodged and weaved, but still had half his body severed by the sword.

With a splat, blood sprayed across the sky.

His right arm, right shoulder, right abdomen, and right leg fell away on the spot.

He let out an incredibly piercing scream, and his entire body was then struck in the face by Lu Chen's fist, plummeting towards the ground like a freefall.

With a boom, he crashed into the earth again, writhing in agony and wailing.

At this moment, he couldn't even reassemble his body.

Because his broken body contained an incredibly terrifying power that hindered his healing and reconstruction. His weakened body seemed beyond recovery.

Even growing a new body was incredibly difficult.

In another direction.

The Sword Marquis, with half his head and face destroyed, was filled with terror and fled towards the sky with all his might.

At this moment, he was on the verge of tears.

Yun Potian's fate filled him with despair and shattered him.

His Dao heart was utterly ravaged!

From this moment on, Lu Chen would become his eternal psychological shadow.

"Lu Chen, spare my life! I won't be your enemy anymore. From now on, whatever you say goes. Wherever you are, I'll willingly retreat three steps. I'll do anything you say, please spare me..."

The Sword Marquis wailed desperately.

His dignity, his pride...

All his composure was crushed to pieces at this moment.

If anyone were to see this scene, they would absolutely not believe it.

Was this still that supreme legendary prodigy?

However, Lu Chen paid him no mind. His body surged forward, carrying an incredibly terrifying power, rushing directly towards the Sword Marquis's body. His fist emitted a brilliant and terrifying light, like a monstrous meteor.

"Spare your life? I'm afraid you wouldn't spare me!"

Lu Chen's voice was cold, his fist light peerless.

Boom!

Despite the Sword Marquis's desperate resistance, the punch landed directly on his chest. Mid-air, his entire chest was smashed and pierced, as if hit by a cannonball, going straight through. His internal organs and bones all shattered.

The Sword Marquis's face was contorted in pain. His entire body, like a dead dog, plummeted from the sky, crashing to the ground with a thud. His hair was disheveled, his body covered in blood, and he wailed in agony.

Tears streamed down his face as he crawled on the ground like a beggar, wailing in fear.

"Spare me, please spare me, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die, sob sob sob, Lu Chen, please, I'll do anything, don't kill me..."

Splat!

A large hand reached out from behind.

Grabbing him by the hair, Lu Chen's expression was cold. His towering body was like a supreme war god. "Sword Marquis, you wanted to join me, didn't you? I'll fulfill your wish. I'll make you my most loyal servant."

Tears streaming down his face, the Sword Marquis looked back, incredibly excited.

"You're not going to kill me? You're really not going to kill me?"

Bang!

Lu Chen punched him on the head. The extreme force completely blew apart half of his skull. The immense power extinguished all his vitality.

[...Merit Points +500,000!]

"Not kill you? That's impossible!"

Lu Chen's voice was indifferent.

Only after you die can I rest assured that you are my servant.

Suddenly, his heart tensed, and he turned sharply, looking towards Yun Potian's direction.

He saw that Yun Potian was left with only half a body. He had actually abandoned his physical body and let his soul depart, attempting to escape directly into the Netherworld.

His soul was already close to the Netherworld.

With an expert of his caliber, once he returned to the Netherworld, he could quickly cultivate another physical body.

"Come back!"

Lu Chen let out a low roar, activating the Lord of the Netherworld talent, which specifically controlled souls.

As Yun Potian was about to enter the Netherworld, his soul was once again sent flying backward under the interference of the Lord of the Netherworld.

Yun Potian's face filled with intense fear and despair.

"No, don't!"

His soul cried out, desperately sending a telepathic message towards the Netherworld ahead, hoping for a fellow cultivator there to save him.

But it was useless.

Under the Lord of the Netherworld's interference, his soul rapidly returned.

Lu Chen's eyes flashed with cold light. He had already unleashed the Great Sun Qiankun Sword Art, imbued with blazing solar power, and fiercely slashed towards Yun Potian's soul.

Puchi!

Boom!

Yun Potian's soul immediately burst into flames.

Under the incineration of the Solar True Fire, he let out a piercing scream. Like a block of ice, he rapidly melted, emitting thick plumes of green smoke...

"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled..."

Bang!

His soul completely dissipated.

[...Merit Points +500,000!]

Another line of text appeared.

Lu Chen let out a soft sigh.

Comfortable!

Truly unprecedented comfort!

True God seventh layer, combined with Tenfold Combat Power, had brought about earth-shattering changes to his strength.

No one in the entire Netherworld would likely believe any of this.

"Besides gaining a million Merit Points myself, the most crucial thing is that I now have two loyal Divine King slaves!"

Lu Chen's eyes flickered, and he waved his hand.

"Come out!"

Swish swish!

Two figures appeared before him without any warning.

The recently deceased Yun Potian and Sword Marquis reappeared.

"Greetings, my Lord!"

The two said respectfully.
