After more than a year, the forging was finally complete. The Annihilation Blade had shed its former, elaborate appearance.
It had a simple, unadorned beauty.
The longsword looked as though it had no thickness, yet its blackness was impossibly deep.
It lay there quietly, but the aura of distortion and ruin it gave off left countless beings feeling as though they could not breathe.
Su Yi took it in hand and immediately felt the universe's purest power of destruction merge completely with him.
In an instant, his spiritual core formed a strange resonance with that pure destructive power.
He clearly felt his Divine Authority of Unity open its gates and take that power in.
As the two became one, Su Yi's mind expanded outward once more.
In an instant, he felt his mind transcend the dimensions of time and space.
It wandered through that boundless black power.
At first glance, that black power seemed to contain nothing at all.
But as Su Yi delved deeper, he sensed that it encompassed everything in existence.
This utterly pure power of destruction rejected no substance and no race.
It would grant any being absolute destruction without distinction, bringing them to their final end ahead of time.
In a flash, Su Yi saw every process by which all things met their ruin.
There was something wondrous about it.
Su Yi saw planets destroyed and stars extinguished.
He saw countless celestial bodies turn to ash throughout the universe.
He also saw countless creatures die in natural disasters and countless lives lost to war.
The deaths of Intelligent Species.
The rotting of flesh, its weathering away...
Su Yi saw that whether they were immense stars, ordinary humans, or tiny insects...
Under the power of destruction, they all ended as nothing more than dust in this universe.
