Ultimate Showdown! Air Cannon VS Energy Storm!

"Kehehe—" Frieza let out a vicious, piercing laugh, the killing intent in his eyes surging. The pitch-black energy storm in his hand churned madly, its pressure rising once more and tearing deeper, savage cracks through space itself. The brutality in his voice nearly scorched the air as he rambled arrogantly, "You're at death's door and still talking tough! You little brat, today I'll show you that the dignity of the Emperor of the Universe is not something a wet-behind-the-ears Saiyan infant like you can challenge! My Dark Destruction Storm can easily tear apart a medium-sized planet. That so-called Ultimate Annihilation Ki Cannon of yours is nothing but a child's toy before me! Kehehe, you think activating some lousy Super Saiyan Form gives you the right to oppose me? How laughable! I, Frieza, have ruled the cosmos for tens of thousands of years. If I haven't killed ten thousand Saiyans, then I've killed eight thousand! A cocky, ignorant little runt like you? I can crush you with one hand!"

Ximen Qing snorted, and the golden-silver beam in his palm grew ever more dazzling. All 42,000 points of his combat power poured into it without reserve, while red aura frantically coiled around the beam's outer layer, shredding the air with a shrill howl. His tone was arrogance incarnate, every word ringing like steel. "A toy? Frieza, have you been so dazzled by your own empty reputation that you've lost your mind? You think that pathetic storm of yours deserves to be mentioned alongside my Ultimate Annihilation Ki Cannon? Once I make my move, I won't even give you time to cry. I'll blast you straight into ash and leave your Ultimate Legion leaderless!"

"Ha ha ha—Arrogant! You truly don't know the height of heaven or the depth of earth!" Frieza threw back his head and laughed, his voice brimming with vicious contempt. He trembled with rage as the black aura around him erupted like a volcano. The Dark Destruction Storm in his hand expanded several times over in an instant, reaching dozens of meters in diameter and radiating a terrifying might capable of destroying heaven and earth. His taunts did not cease, cruel and rambling. "Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish! Dark Destruction Storm—full-power eruption! Kehehe, listen closely, little brat. Once I tear apart your Ki Cannon, I'll crush your bones one by one, extract your Saiyan bloodline, and make you die in endless agony! And that old fool beside you, along with this pathetic Earth, will be destroyed with you! This is the price of challenging the Emperor of the Universe—the price of your overestimating yourself!"

Before his roar had faded, Frieza thrust both hands forward. The Dark Destruction Storm in his grasp exploded forth like a black beast devouring everything in its path, hurtling viciously toward Ximen Qing with a deafening roar. Wherever it passed, space twisted and collapsed completely, even light swallowed by the storm. Its destructive aura swept across the entire Earth. Mountains crumbled, seas surged backward, and massive fissures stretching for thousands of miles split the ground beneath its crushing pressure.

At the foot of the mountain, Grandpa Gohan clutched the tree trunk beside him tightly. His body had gone rigid, his face white as paper, and even breathing had become incredibly difficult. Looking at the world-destroying black storm in the sky, he could not help but roar in alarm, "Ximen Qing! Be careful! Get out of the way! That storm is too powerful!"

Hearing Grandpa Gohan's cry, a trace of gentleness flashed through Ximen Qing's eyes before being replaced by overwhelming battle intent. He turned toward the foot of the mountain and shouted, his voice rolling across heaven and earth like thunder, firm and domineering. "Grandpa Gohan, don't worry! A little trick like this can't hurt me at all! Watch closely—I'll tear apart this pathetic storm with my own hands, kill Frieza, and clear away every threat for you!"

"Kehehe—Clear away threats? Little brat, you think far too highly of yourself!" Frieza let out a sharp, sinister laugh, his tone thick with scorn and mockery. He continued taunting without end, bearing none of the composure expected of the Emperor of the Universe—only vicious, venomous bluster remained. "With your measly 42,000 combat power, you think you can withstand my full-force strike of 52,000? What a ridiculous dream! Let me tell you, the strength of Frieza has never been something a little brat like you could ever reach! Any random move of mine can reduce you to dust! Today, you will undoubtedly die, and Earth will turn to scorched ground with you! Hahaha, when that time comes, your Ultimate Annihilation Ki Cannon will be nothing more than your laughable funeral offering, while I will continue as the Emperor of the Universe and enjoy the submission of the entire cosmos!"

"So what if I only have 42,000 combat power?" Ximen Qing's eyes narrowed, his teeth clenched as the Innate Saiyan bloodline within him boiled once more. The golden-silver aura around him surged wildly, and his voice was arrogant yet utterly certain. "Combat power has never been the sole measure of victory or defeat! I am an Innate Saiyan. Even if my combat power is lower than yours, I can still crush you! Today, I'll show you what a true Ultimate Annihilation Ki Cannon is—and what an Innate Saiyan is truly capable of!"

"Ultimate Annihilation Ki Cannon—shatter everything!"

Ximen Qing roared and thrust both hands forward. The golden-silver beam condensed to its peak in his palms exploded outward, carrying the power to rip apart the universe as it shot toward Frieza's Dark Destruction Storm like a meteor chasing the moon. Wherever the beam passed, the pressure of the black storm was forcibly torn apart, and the air burned into nothingness. The two world-destroying energies collided fiercely in midair!

Boom—!!!

A heaven-shaking explosion resounded through the entire universe, more violent than any previous collision. The golden-silver beam and black destruction storm slammed together, forming an immense Shock that spread madly outward from the collision point. Space completely collapsed, forming enormous black holes one after another. Earth's atmosphere was ripped apart by the Shock, and even in the distant depths of the cosmos, this terrifying energy fluctuation could be felt.

Frieza's expression changed, and disbelief flashed through his eyes. Then he erupted into a crazed roar laced with sinister laughter. "No—! Impossible! Kehehe, no, this must be fake! Your combat power is clearly only 42,000—how could you possibly unleash such a powerful Ki Cannon? This is absolutely impossible! You must have used some kind of trick, you must have! I, Frieza, have roamed the universe for all these years, and I've never been suppressed by some wet-behind-the-ears Saiyan brat! You're humiliating me! I won't let you off—absolutely not! Hahaha, once I break free from your suppression, I'll make you wish you were dead! I'll make you regret ever being born into this world!"

"Impossible?" A mocking smile curled across Ximen Qing's lips, his voice full of arrogance. "Frieza, have you gone senile? I already told you—I'm an Innate Saiyan. My potential is far more terrifying than you can imagine! Besides, my Advanced Super Saiyan Form can increase the power of Ultimate Annihilation Ki Cannon by 30%. Your pathetic storm can't withstand it at all!"

[System Notification: Host's Ultimate Annihilation Ki Cannon has triggered the Annihilation Amplification effect. Power increased by 30%. Current power is equivalent to a full-force strike from 48,600 combat power!]

[System Notification: Detected that the host is suppressing Frieza's Dark Destruction Storm. Innate Saiyan bloodline passive triggered: combat power temporarily increased by 10%. Current combat power: 46,200!]

The system notifications rang out. The battle intent in Ximen Qing's eyes burned even hotter as the golden-silver aura around him surged once more. The beam in his palm rose to another level in power, forcibly suppressing Frieza's Dark Destruction Storm so thoroughly that it could not advance even an inch. He spoke arrogantly, "Do you see that, Frieza? This is my strength! Do you regret it now? Regret coming to make trouble for me? Regret provoking an Innate Saiyan like me?"

"Regret? Kehehe—I, Frieza, have never known how to write the word 'regret' in my entire life!" Frieza let out a bone-chilling, sinister laugh and roared as all 52,000 points of his combat power erupted without reserve. The Dark Destruction Storm in his hands expanded again, resisting Ximen Qing's Ki Cannon with all its might. His voice was full of savagery and madness, and his venomous rant continued without pause. "So what if you can suppress my storm? I still have stronger techniques—ones a hundred times, a thousand times more powerful than you can imagine! Today, I will kill you! Hahaha, I'll kill you first, then kill that old fool, flatten your Earth, and hang your corpse from my flagship for the entire universe to see the fate of anyone who dares challenge Frieza! You think being an Innate Saiyan makes you special? In my eyes, you are no different from all those pathetic ants!"

"A stronger technique?" Ximen Qing scoffed, his tone full of contempt. "Frieza, don't waste your effort! No matter what techniques you have, they're useless before me! Today, not only will I kill you, I'll also flatten your Ultimate Legion, seize all your forces, and make the entire universe submit beneath my feet. I'll turn you into the greatest joke in the cosmos!"

"You dare! Kehehe—Little brat, you dare speak to me like that? You must be tired of living!" Frieza's laugh was shrill and malicious as the black aura around him became even more violent. He abruptly raised a hand, condensing an even more powerful thread of black energy at his fingertip before flicking it viciously toward Ximen Qing's Ki Cannon. His voice was sinister as he kept hurling threats. "My Dark Piercing can easily penetrate your Ki Cannon and pierce your body! Today, I'll let you experience the agony of being pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows. I'll let you feel, bit by bit, the despair of your life slipping away! Hahaha, let me tell you, this is only the beginning. Next, I'll torture you with even crueler techniques and show you that the wrath of the Emperor of the Universe is not something you can bear! You and this Earth will both pay the most painful price for your arrogance!"

"You dare show off such a petty trick before me?" Ximen Qing's gaze sharpened. With a slight movement of his fingers, the golden-silver beam in his palm instantly split off a thin strand of energy and sent it toward Frieza's Dark Piercing. His tone was arrogant. "Frieza, I'll show you what it means to be completely crushed! My energy can easily tear apart your Dark Piercing and leave all your efforts for nothing!"

Boom—!

The thin golden-silver energy collided with the black Dark Piercing. The black attack was instantly torn apart and annihilated into ash, leaving not the slightest trace behind. The remaining golden-silver energy continued blasting toward Frieza at lightning speed.

Frieza's expression changed drastically. With no time to react, he could only hastily raise a hand and condense a black energy shield to block the strand of golden-silver energy. Panic filled his voice, yet he still did not forget to laugh sinisterly and keep ranting. "No—! Impossible! Kehehe... How could my Dark Piercing be so easily torn apart by you? You must have used some underhanded scheme! How could I, Frieza, possibly be injured by a little brat like you? Absolutely impossible! Hahaha, just you wait! I won't let this go! I'll kill you, tear you into ten thousand pieces, and make sure you never find rebirth! You will pay a thousandfold, ten-thousandfold price for what you just did!"

Riiip—!

The golden-silver energy slammed into the black shield, ripping through it in an instant as though it were paper. The energy struck Frieza squarely in the shoulder. His black combat suit was shredded at once, and a deep wound opened across his shoulder. Black blood spurted out, carrying a pungent stench of blood.

"Argh—!" Frieza let out a shrill scream, his body involuntarily staggering backward. Then he erupted into a crazed, vicious laugh. "Kehehe—Hahaha! Little brat, you dare hurt me! You actually dare hurt me! I'll kill you! I'll definitely kill you! I, Frieza, have dominated the universe for tens of thousands of years, and no one has ever dared touch even a hair on my head! Yet you, a lowly Saiyan brat, dared wound my shoulder and tear apart my combat suit! I won't let you off—absolutely not! Kehehe, I'll slice you to death, extract your bloodline, burn away your soul, and make you live forever in agony! I'll let the entire universe know the consequences of harming me!"

"So what if I hurt you?" A domineering smile rose on Ximen Qing's lips, and his voice dripped with ridicule. "Frieza, this is only the beginning! Soon, I'll tear your body apart piece by piece, make you suffer every torment imaginable, then personally blast you into ash and ensure you never find rebirth!"

At the foot of the mountain, Grandpa Gohan watched the scene and became completely exhilarated. The concern on his face instantly gave way to relief, and he could not help shouting proudly, "Ximen Qing! Well done! That was incredible! Keep it up! Kill Frieza and protect Earth!"

"Don't worry, Grandpa Gohan! I will!" Ximen Qing shouted toward the foot of the mountain, then turned back to Frieza. The killing intent in his eyes grew sharper, while the golden-silver aura around him surged again. The Ultimate Annihilation Ki Cannon in his palm rose another level in power. "Frieza, the game is over!"

"Over? Kehehe—Little brat, you're far too arrogant!" Frieza let out a vicious, crazed laugh. Roaring, he wiped the blood from his shoulder as his 52,000 combat power began circulating wildly. The black aura around him burned like hellfire, and his body expanded slightly as his presence rose once more. Madness filled his voice as his cruel rambling continued. "Today, I'll burn my own life force and raise all my combat power! Even if we die together, I'll drag you down with me—and take this entire Earth into ruin with us! Hahaha, let me tell you, even if I, Frieza, die, I will not die at the hands of a little brat like you! If I'm going to die, I'll drag you and this pathetic Earth down as my burial offerings! You think you've already won? What wishful thinking! Kehehe, once my combat power rises, you'll be the first to die, followed by that old fool! Then I'll flatten everything you have!"

"Burning your life force?" Ximen Qing scoffed, his voice full of disdain. "Frieza, have you run out of tricks? Even if you burn your life force to increase your combat power, you still won't be my match! Today, your death is certain. No one can save you—not even the gods of the universe!"

[System Notification: Detected that Frieza has burned his life force. Combat power temporarily increased to 60,000! Warning! Host's current combat power is 46,200. There is a risk of being suppressed. Please find a breakthrough quickly or trigger a stronger bloodline passive!]

"60,000 combat power?" Surprise flashed in Ximen Qing's eyes, only to be replaced by towering battle intent. A domineering curve formed on his lips, and his voice was arrogant yet certain. "Interesting! You can actually raise it to 60,000 combat power. Now I can finally have some real fun! Frieza, even if your combat power rises to 60,000, I can still crush you! Today, I will kill you!"

"Crush me? Kehehe—Little brat, you're dreaming!" Frieza let out a proud yet vicious laugh. With a roar, the black aura around him surged to its limit, and he condensed an even more powerful Dark Destruction Storm in his hands. Faint crimson hues swirled within the storm, which radiated a terrifying might several times stronger than before. He continued sneering and threatening, fully displaying his vicious, taunting nature. "This is my strongest technique after burning my life force—Crimson Dark Storm! It's more than ten times stronger than that Dark Destruction Storm from before! Forget a tiny Saiyan brat like you—even a large planet can be easily blasted into ashes by me! Hahaha, today I'll use this move to reduce you and all of Earth to ash, leaving you without even the chance to reincarnate! And I'll make your Ultimate Legion watch you die, watch Earth be destroyed, and understand that betraying me and following you leads to only one end—death!"

"Crimson Dark Storm?" Ximen Qing's eyes narrowed as the Innate Saiyan bloodline inside him boiled furiously. A sharp gleam flashed through his gaze, and he spoke arrogantly. "Perfect! Let's see just how powerful this Crimson Dark Storm really is! Today, I'll use my Ultimate Annihilation Ki Cannon to tear apart your crimson storm with my own hands, kill you—the Emperor of the Universe—and let the entire cosmos know how powerful I am!"

As his words fell, Ximen Qing raised both hands once more. His combat power churned wildly as immense quantities of golden-silver energy gathered around him, and Ultimate Annihilation Ki Cannon condensed again. This time, the beam shone even more brilliantly and grew to dozens of meters in diameter. The red aura wrapped around its surface became increasingly violent, radiating terrifying pressure capable of tearing apart the universe and destroying heaven and earth. Even Frieza could not help frowning, a barely perceptible trace of fear flashing in his eyes.

"Frieza, are you ready?" A resolute yet arrogant smile touched Ximen Qing's lips, his voice cold. "This strike will be the end of you!"

"My end? Kehehe—It should be your end!" Frieza let out a crazed, sinister laugh. With an enraged roar, he thrust both hands forward, and the Crimson Dark Storm in his grasp exploded toward Ximen Qing. His vicious, frenzied rant continued without pause. "Crimson Dark Storm—full-power eruption! Little brat, remember this well: dying by my hand today is an honor for you! Hahaha, once I kill you, I'll flatten your Earth, slaughter every living creature on it, seize your Innate Saiyan bloodline, and continue roaming the universe as its Emperor, enjoying the submission of the entire cosmos! And you will become nothing more than the most insignificant stepping stone in my life—a laughable legend in the universe, a legend of an arrogant, ignorant little brat who didn't know his own limits!"

Ximen Qing's gaze sharpened, and he thrust both hands forward. The Ultimate Annihilation Ki Cannon in his palms erupted as well, blasting toward the Crimson Dark Storm with world-destroying force. His voice was domineering. "Ultimate Annihilation Ki Cannon—ultimate strike! Shatter it!"

The two ultimate, world-destroying energies collided in midair once again. This time, the force of the impact was far greater than any before it. The entire universe shook violently, countless planets caught in the Shock and instantly annihilated into ash. Earth itself swayed on the brink of collapse, as though it might crumble completely at any moment. A final clash that would decide the fate of Earth and reshape the order of the universe had officially begun!
