He looked in horror at the man holding the long knife burning with flames, like a god of death walking out of the sea of fire. He felt the terrifying heat that could burn out his soul, and his mind went blank.
Lu Chongwei didn't even look at him.
He just swung a flame slash in that direction lightly and casually.
Brush--!
A seemingly ordinary golden-red flame knife wave broke through the air.
However, wherever the flame passed, the space was wailing and distorting! The terrifying high temperature directly cut the mastermind in half, as well as the ancient altar at his feet!
No screams, no struggles.
In the face of the absolute high temperature of Ryujin Jakka, the existence of all matter loses its meaning.
Black Hand and the altar at his feet were burned into the most primitive particles the moment they were chopped open, leaving not even ashes behind.
One knife, just one knife.
The world was instantly purified.
Everyone present, including Natsu and Erza, all stood there with their mouths wide open. They looked at the wave of flaming swords that slowly dissipated and the figure holding the flaming sword. All they felt was shock.
The mastermind behind Black Gold Key, the fanatical follower who sacrificed everything for the glory of Oración Seis, has turned into nothingness at this moment, and the altar under his feet was burned to death by the knife of Lu Chongwei.
However, Lu Chongwei's gaze did not relax because of this, but instead became more solemn.
He felt that an aura of destruction that was older, more majestic, and purer than any previous dark magic was quietly awakening under the ruins of the altar.
"The seal... has been completely broken."
Lu Chongwei put the sword into its sheath and spoke in a low tone with unquestionable certainty.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble violently. Click, click! Huge cracks centered on the altar spread rapidly in a radial pattern, and the entire underground space was torn apart at this moment.
Black smoke and dust rose into the sky along with the gravel, and a suffocating and terrifying pressure descended like the top of a mountain, making everyone feel breathless and even their souls were trembling.
"What... what does this feel like?!"
Natsu's face turned pale, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. He could clearly feel that a huge magic power that far exceeded the limit of his cognition was struggling out from the depths of the ground.
Erza clenched the long sword in her hand, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. She could feel that this power was not something they could match at all. It was pure destruction that was superior to human beings!
"What a terrible magic power... it can swallow everything up!"
Lucy's legs were even weak and she was almost unsteady. She stared at the expanding crack in the center of the altar, her eyes filled with fear.
That aura was completely opposite to the Celestial Spirit power she was familiar with. It was full of violence, bloodthirsty and endless hunger!
"This... is this the Star Eater?!"
Boom--!!!
With an earth-shaking loud noise, the ruins of the altar exploded, and countless boulders were thrown into the air by an invisible force, falling like raindrops.
A black shadow that was huge beyond everyone's imagination, the Roar, soared into the sky from the depths of the ground, and suddenly emerged with a destructive aura that could destroy everything!
That is a Ancient Celestial Spirit Beast that is as big as a mountain!
It looks like a Black Giant Wolf with two wings, and each scale is shining with a metallic luster, exuding a heart-stopping dark cold light.
Its wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun, shrouding the entire underground space in shadow.
Those scarlet eyes are like two blood moons, cold and bloodthirsty, capable of devouring everything in the world.
As soon as it appeared, the temperature in the air dropped suddenly, and a sense of pure despair filled everyone's heart.
"Roar--!!!"
Black Giant Wolf let out a deafening the Roar sound, and the sound waves swept out like real substance, causing everyone's eardrums to hurt and their hearts to tremble. Its huge head suddenly lowered, opening its bloody mouth, and a ball of dark energy quickly condensed in the mouth.
"No! It's Star Breath!" Lucy shouted in horror, "Get away!"
However, the speed of the breath was extremely fast, giving no one time to react.
Boom!
A Black Star Breath that could corrode everything, like the torrent of hell, spurted towards the direction of everyone!
Wherever it passed, the air was corroded to the point of making a hissing sound, and the hard rock instantly turned into nothing, leaving behind scorched black marks and exuding a disgusting stench.
"Ice Make--ice wall!"
Gray slammed his hands on the ground, the magic power in his body surged out like a tide, and a thick wall of ice instantly rose from the ground, trying to block the destructive breath.
"Requip--Adamantine Armor!"
Erza also completed Requip in an instant. She was covered with the hardest diamond armor. She crossed her arms and concentrated her strongest defensive magic in front of her, forming a double defense together with Gray's ice wall.
However, in the face of that absolute power, their defense still seemed precarious.
The black breath bombarded the ice wall, making bursts of heart-wrenching hisses. The ice wall was corroded and melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Erza's Adamantine Armor was also under tremendous pressure, and fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the armor. She groaned, and blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Damn it! This power is too strong!"
Gray gritted his teeth, his face turned red, and the magic power in his body was almost drained.
"Quick! Try harder!"
Natsu shouted anxiously from the side, but there was nothing he could do.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly flashed out and blocked everyone.
That's Lu Chongwei.
His dark eyes reflected the Black Giant Wolf coming from the Roar, and he sneered.
"Hmph!"
Lu Chongwei snorted coldly, and the Ryujin Jakka in his hand erupted into an even more dazzling golden-red light. The fiery air waves instantly dispersed the surrounding darkness and chill.
The majestic and vast spiritual pressure centered on him, swept out like a tsunami, collided head-on with the black breath, and made an earth-shattering roar.
"Bakudo #81·Danku!"
He shouted softly and pushed his left hand forward suddenly.
Buzz--!
A huge transparent defensive wall appeared out of thin air, like an invisible barrier, perfectly blocking the giant wolf's Black Star Breath that could corrode everything!
There are layers of ripples visible to the naked eye on the transparent barrier, but it remains indestructible and motionless!
"What?!" The leaders of the Oración Seis remnant party opened their eyes wide, their faces full of disbelief.
