Two utterly different forces, each embodying destruction at its utmost, collided with a thunderous crash midway above Soul-Severing Ridge!
"Rumble—!!!!!"
For a moment, the entire Heavenly Abyss Fragment Realm seemed to lose all sound. Then a sun-piercing blaze, like ten million tons of magma detonating at once, erupted in midair!
An incomparably violent energy storm swept madly in every direction as a visible, ring-shaped shock wave,
and wherever it passed, space gave shrill cracks beneath the unbearable strain. Within a hundred-zhang radius, thousands upon thousands of Abyss Wraiths were instantly vaporized into nothing by the escaping energy, without even a chance to scream.
Although Chu Bai's [Great Five-Phase Annihilation Divine Light Needle] was his strongest trump card and had fused with the most concentrated black-purple killing intent, his cultivation remained at foundation establishment perfection.
The Faceless Evil King opposing him, however, was a peerless fiend that had devoured countless Ancient Powerhouses' remains and truly reached half-step Purple Abode.
A divine ability prototype was, in the end, still a cut below the real thing!
After neutralizing ninety percent of the pitch-black beam of destruction, the Great Five-Phase Annihilation Divine Light Formation finally reached its limit and shattered with a crash.
The remaining tenth of that deathly light slammed into Chu Bai's chest like a heavy hammer.
"Pfft—!"
Chu Bai threw back his head and spat a great mouthful of dark-red blood mixed with fragments of his organs. Like a kite with its string severed, he was blasted backward by that terrifying, irresistible force and smashed into the thousand-zhang trench he had personally carved behind him.
"Crack... crack..."
A dense succession of crisp bone cracks sounded inside Chu Bai.
His [glazed flawless bone], tempered through countless trials and impervious to every poison, was covered in fine, web-like fractures under that single blow.
