The Cosmic Tribulation Was Born Because of Surtrochi, Hailed as the Universe's Greatest Calamity!

A detached voice, penetrating the Light Screen, clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Hunting again and again is so boring."

The man named Surtrochi slowly raised the longsword in his hand.

There was no earth-shattering grandeur, no dazzling brilliance.

He simply swung his hand forward casually.

It was as if they were just shooing away an annoying fly.

Then.

A pitch-black crack appeared out of nowhere.

That's not a spatial rift.

Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted.

He had used his Asura Divine Power to create countless spatial rifts, but none of them could compare to the rift before him.

This crack is pure "nothingness".

The moment it appeared, it didn't devour anything, but instead... "erased" it.

The crack spread out instantly at a speed that surpassed light and thought.

The first to be affected was that massive, invincible fleet.

There was no explosion, no roar, no clash of energy.

Those millions of steel behemoths vanished silently the instant that dark crack appeared.

It was as if they had never existed.

It was as if they were merely a smear of ink on a painting, gently wiped away by an invisible hand.

Next, there was that beautiful blue planet.

The mountains, rivers, cities, and billions of living beings on the planet vanished into Nihility without even uttering a cry of despair, along with the planet itself.

Finally, there is that blazing star.

That enormous fireball, which provided endless light and heat to the entire galaxy, appeared as faint as a candle flickering in the wind before the dark crack.

The light went out.

The heat has dissipated.

The massive celestial body, along with its terrifying gravity, was completely flattened in an instant.

The entire world was plunged into absolute darkness and deathly silence.

Only the man in black remained, still silently hovering in place, as if he had done nothing.

One sword.

Just one sword strike.

A star system, along with the vast civilization that had thrived within it for countless years, has completely vanished from the universe...

"..."

Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.

The two giants, Niu Tian and Tai Tan, stared blankly at the Light Screen, their bodies stiff as stone statues.

Their formidable physiques, which they were so proud of, were probably less than a speck of dust before that sword strike.

Dai Hao slumped onto the throne, his eyes vacant, repeatedly muttering, "Impossible... this is impossible..."

Everything he built, everything he fought for, was utterly vulnerable in the face of absolute power.

The Divine Realm.

"Gulp."

Zhou Weiqing swallowed hard; his usually nonchalant face was now filled with pure horror.

He boasted of his immense power, and the abilities of Heavenly Bead Master were even more unpredictable and bizarre.

But that sword...

That was pure, irrational "destruction".

Undefendable, unavoidable, even... incomprehensible.

Chang Gongwei, Lei Xiang, A'Dai, Hai Long, Tian Hen... these powerful figures who once stood at the pinnacle of their respective worlds fell into a long silence.

The very power they had pursued throughout their lives seemed utterly ridiculous at this moment.

Ye Yinzhu's hands were trembling slightly.

He once used his Lyre Music to command thousands of troops and created countless miracles.

But he believed that even if he played his most powerful Divine Comedy, he wouldn't be able to shake that man in the slightest.

Because what that man destroyed was existence itself, even the concept of "concept" was erased.

Ji Dong and Lie Yan embraced tightly, feeling the shock and trembling in each other's hearts.

Even if the husband and wife joined forces and unleashed their strongest God King level combined attack, it would be impossible for them to achieve this level.

They might be able to destroy a planet.

But destroy a star?

Could it even mean the complete erasure of stars, planets, and all matter from the causal level in an instant?

This is... a power that only Creation God could possess!

No, perhaps even the Creation God could not accomplish such pure "destruction"!

For the first time, the emotion called "fear" appeared in the Dragon God's enormous golden eyes.

He was once the strongest being in the Divine Realm, commanding ten thousand dragons, and believed that his power had reached its peak.

But now he realizes that the universe is far more vast than he ever imagined.

That sword strike could also completely erase him, along with the entire Dragon Clan, from this world.

Tang Wulin's breathing became incredibly heavy. His Golden Dragon King Bloodline roared wildly within him, not from excitement, but from the fear stemming from his life-or-death instinct.

He felt his strength was pitifully insignificant in the face of that dark crack.

Gu Yuena's long silver hair moved without wind; she bit her lip, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She wields the power of the elements and knows all too well how difficult it is to destroy matter.

That man destroyed a complete "system," a star system containing matter, energy, space, time, and even... Laws!

"This... this is such... evil power..." Huo Yuhao's voice was hoarse.

In that instant, his Spiritual Eye seemed to see the despair of billions of living beings—an ultimate fear from which even the soul could not escape, a fear of being utterly reduced to nothingness.

The images on the Light Screen continued to flow.

The words appeared.

[This sword strike silenced the entire universe.]

Countless civilizations trembled in fear; they could neither comprehend nor resist, and could only pray in despair.

However, some have seen "truth" in this extreme destruction.

[Those Survivor wandering the universe, bloodthirsty pirates, fanatical believers... like sharks smelling blood, they gathered from every corner of the cosmos towards that starfield that had vanished into Nihility.]

They knelt before Surtrochi and worshipped him as Gods.

[Thus, a terrorist organization with destruction as its core doctrine and annihilation as its ultimate goal—"Cosmic Tribulation"—was born.]

[And Surtrochi was bestowed with a supreme title by those civilizations living in fear--]

[Extreme Evil.]

He became the greatest calamity known in the universe.

The image freezes.

The dark figure slowly turned around in the endless Nihility.

His face was expressionless.

Those eyes were deeper and emptier than the Nihility behind them.

It was as if everything in the world was meaningless in his eyes.

The entire Douluo World was deathly silent.

If the previous sword strike brought incomprehensible shock...

Now, what this text brings is a chilling despair that penetrates to the bone.

Actually... there are people who would follow such a being?

Is destruction something to be proud of? Is destructiveness the truth?

Tang San's fist had clenched tightly without him even realizing it.

As the enforcer of the Divine Realm, he could not tolerate the existence of such a concept.

This is the greatest desecration of life!

Just as everyone was still immersed in the terrifying shadow cast by "Extreme Evil," the image on the Light Screen changed again.

Surtrochi's figure slowly faded away.

Instead, a new line of blood-red text, exuding an ominous aura, appeared.

The Cosmic Tribulation began with a single cry.
