Killing a Dou Wang (2)

"Damn it. Now it's my turn."

Xiao Meng cursed under his breath and clenched his hand. Crimson blood seeped out, forming an arcane, intricate rune in his palm.

Bang!

The blood-red rune appeared, and Xiao Meng slammed his right palm into the ground. A strange pulse spread from his body through the earth at a speed that made onlookers stare.

Hiss!

As the pulse swept outward, the once-lush valley turned barren in the blink of an eye. Nearby plants lost their vitality and cracked apart, while the ground itself split as though it were becoming a desert.

"What is this...?" Luo Gang's pupils contracted at the sight, and a chill gripped his heart.

The Great Wilderness Scripture really lives up to its name. Xiao Meng marveled inwardly. It drew energy not only from living creatures but from deep within the earth. That vast power surged into him like a tsunami.

Once unleashed, the Great Desolation Barrenness Scripture could leave ten thousand miles barren. Xiao Meng was nowhere near that level yet, but he could turn this enormous valley into a wasteland.

The terrifying power radiating from him made Luo Gang's and Fan Ling's scalps prickle.

The True Essence within him was exceptionally fierce, making the Great Wilderness Scripture even more devastating. Reducing this valley to desolation would take only an instant.

He looked up at Luo Gang hurtling toward him, a smile tugging at his lips. Energy coiled around his finger like pythons, then formed a giant finger.

Indescribably terrifying waves of power rolled from the black finger.

Unease and fear rose uncontrollably in Luo Gang and Fan Ling.

"Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger, Fourth Finger: Breaking the Firmament!"

Xiao Meng shouted inwardly and slashed one finger diagonally toward the sky, as though he truly meant to split it open.

Boom!
