Instant Kill a Five-Ring Evil Soul Master!

However, Zichuan stood his ground, unmoving. As he watched the terrifying Blood Raven Feast descend like a shroud, his face showed no trace of fear. Instead, he wore a... peculiar expression, a mixture of helplessness, disdain, and a hint of eagerness?

"I didn't expect an unexpected harvest..." Zichuan muttered to himself, shaking his head. He seemed somewhat disappointed, yet amused.

He had originally come looking for an "actor" to play a part, but the "actor" had gotten too deep into character, turning a fake act into reality, and a hidden Evil Soul Master feast at that... Such luck was truly one of a kind.

Still, this was fine. Evil Soul Masters were to be eradicated by all. Killing him would be a service to the people, and a convenient way to... stretch his limbs.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Zichuan advance instead of retreating, walking straight toward the terrifying torrent of blood ravens, Wang Dong was so shocked she nearly screamed.

Zichuan did not answer. He simply stopped just before the blood ravens reached him.

Then, he slowly raised his head.

"BOOM!"

A dull, heavy heartbeat, as if echoing from the primordial age and capable of shaking the soul, exploded without warning in the silent forest!

"Heart of Destruction, activate."

Zichuan said in a low voice, his tone calm yet carrying a majesty that made all things tremble.

"THUMP-THUMP! THUMP-THUMP-THUMP!"

The heartbeats came one after another, growing faster and heavier, like giant drums on a battlefield urging an assault!

Zichuan's hair, starting from the roots, was dyed a deep, dark red at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Within his pupils, dark purple destruction patterns spread and intertwined, transforming into two cold, ruthless glints of light.

A terrifying aura, purer and more overbearing than the Evil Soul Master power of Raven, as if intent on ending all things and returning the world to extinction, erupted from Zichuan's body!

The dark red aura of destruction rose like physical flames, instantly evaporating and annihilating the blood ravens that had swarmed before him!

The nauseating, bloody, deathly stillness melted and dissipated before this pure will of destruction like snow under the sun.

Beneath his feet, soul rings rose.

The first, a deep black.

The second, a noble and mysterious orange-gold, flowing with the vastness and dominion of two hundred thousand years.

The third, a vivid, dripping crimson.

The fourth, equally dazzling crimson.

The fifth, yet another ring of crimson!

Black, orange-gold, red, red, red!

The five soul rings, like five suns of different colors each radiating a suffocating, terrifying fluctuation, hovered beneath Zichuan's feet, rotating slowly.

That soul ring configuration, those colors, and the heaven-shaking energy contained within them completely overturned the understanding of the two people present!

Wang Dong was utterly stunned. Her pink-blue eyes were wide open, her small mouth slightly agape, her mind a complete blank. A black thousand-year soul ring?

The second soul ring was an unheard-of orange-gold? And the following three... were all hundred-thousand-year red soul rings?! How could this be?!

Was this a soul ring configuration a human could possess?! Even in the legends of the God Realm her father had told her, those ancient deities might not have had such heaven-defying soul rings when they trained in the mortal world!

Who exactly... was this black-haired boy who had suddenly appeared?!

Meanwhile, the previously grinning, self-confident Raven felt the expression on his face freeze instantly, turning into boundless horror and fear!

He could sense the destructive power contained within those five soul rings far better than Wang Dong—power capable of crushing him into dust!

Especially the orange-gold and the three red soul rings; their mere aura made his soul tremble and his martial soul wail! It was an absolute suppression of life level and the essence of power!

"No... impossible!!"

Raven let out a scream as if his throat had been throttled, his eyes filled with disbelief and extreme panic.

His fifth soul skill, the "Blood Raven Feast," which he took such pride in, had crumbled instantly under the impact of the boy's dark red destructive aura, as if it were made of paper!

He could even feel his own Evil Soul Master power becoming sluggish and unresponsive under the pressure of that will of destruction!

Run! He had to run immediately! This boy was not human! He was a monster! An ancient beast in human skin!

Raven turned to flee, pushing his Evil Soul Master power to the limit, not even hesitating to burn his essence blood. His figure turned into a blurred blood shadow, desperate to escape into the depths of the forest.

However, it was already too late.

Zichuan watched Raven's retreating back, his eyes cold, as if looking at an ant trying to escape from the claws of a tiger.

He did not even use any soul skills, did not use the Dark Gold Terrorclaw, nor did he deploy the Destruction Domain.

He simply, and quite plainly, raised his right hand.

He clenched his fist.

Then, facing the direction of Raven's flight, dozens of meters away, he threw a punch from afar.

There was no heaven-shaking soul power radiance, no flashy soul skill effects.

There was only the purest, most primitive punch, condensing the vast blood energy pumped by Zichuan's two hearts, the formidable physique tempered by five great soul rings, and the overbearing power bestowed by the Heart of Destruction!

The punch was thrown in silence.

But where the fist-force passed, the air was compressed to the extreme, and then violently exploded!

A visible, distorted, dark red ripple of fist energy crossed dozens of meters in an instant, arriving before the sound could even travel, and slammed heavily into Raven's back!

"BOOM—!!!"

A muffled explosion, so intense it felt as though it would shatter eardrums!

Raven's sprinting figure froze abruptly. He looked down, staring in disbelief at his own chest. There, a bowl-sized, gaping hole appeared out of thin air, piercing straight through him!

Heart, lungs, spine... everything had been pulverized into dust by the terrifying destructive force contained within that single punch!

Not even a drop of blood splattered out, for the flesh and blood at the wound had been completely annihilated and vaporized by that ultimate power of destruction!

He didn't even have time to scream before the expression of horror on his face froze forever.

The next moment, his unsupported body collapsed limply to the ground like a discarded sack, kicking up a cloud of dust. His life force was extinguished in an instant.

The five-ring Evil Soul King, Raven, had been killed in seconds by a single punch from Zichuan from a distance.

Silence.

Only the rustling of leaves in the wind remained in the forest, along with the faint, distant growls of soul beasts.

Wang Dong stared blankly as Zichuan retracted his fist, watching his dark red hair slowly return to black, watching those five terrifyingly peerless soul rings quietly fade away, and then looking at the corpse of the Evil Soul Master on the ground, who was dead beyond any doubt with a massive hole in his chest.

Her brain had completely crashed.

One punch? A punch from a distance? He killed an Evil Soul King who had unleashed his fifth soul skill in seconds?

This... guy is way too terrifying, yet he looks about the same age as me.

Zichuan shook his wrist as if he had just done something trivial.

He turned around, looked at Wang Dong, who was still in a petrified state, and wore that gentle smile once again. He walked over and waved a hand in front of her eyes:

"Hey, scared silly? It's over, the bad guy is dead."
