Above the sky, the clouds churned like ink, and the entire Zero Realm was shrouded in an extremely oppressive aura. Even space itself was cracked, as if it would collapse completely at any moment.
The Heavenly Dao hangs atop the Nine Heavens, its body entwined with the power of the end. Usually high above, holding the power of life and death over all things, its face, formed from energy, is now filled with unprecedented solemnity and fear. Its gaze is fixed on Ye Changge, who stands below with his hands behind his back, and its voice trembles almost imperceptibly.
" Ye Changge, do you know how much calamity the Destruction of a world will bring?"
The voice of Heavenly Dao resounded throughout the universe, carrying the pressure of the laws, attempting to shake Ye Changge's mind, "You are merely Human Race, your mortal body forged from flesh and blood. Even if your cultivation reaches the Heaven-Reaching, how could you possibly withstand the boundless karma brought about by the destruction of the realm? That karma is enough to annihilate your soul and spirit, preventing you from ever being reborn!"
Its fear had long since reached its limit; the Zero Boundary was the foundation upon which it depended for survival. As long as the world existed, the Heavenly Dao would exist; if the world perished, the Heavenly Dao would perish.
It dared not imagine that if Ye Changge were to truly harden his heart and destroy the Zero Realm, its only fate would be to vanish into nothingness along with this world, all its millions of years of cultivation and foundation destroyed in an instant.
Faced with the questioning and threats from the Heavenly Dao, Ye Changge merely raised his eyes slightly, his gaze devoid of any ripples. Instead, a faint yet chilling smile appeared on his face.
That smile was faint, but in the eyes of the powerful beings of Myriad Races, it was more terrifying than the evil spirits of the Nine Nether Hell, clearly a sign of Yama taking his life. But for Ye Changge himself, it was a carefree attitude that came from having long since seen through everything.
"Karma?" he repeated the word softly, his tone full of disdain. "Haven't I destroyed enough worlds already?"
Countless realms across the myriad worlds have fallen at my hands. The mere Zero Realm is but a drop in the ocean. What difference does it make if I destroy it?
A single, casual remark sent a jolt through the hearts of all the powerful figures present, their faces turning deathly pale.
They had never seen such an arrogant person; destroying a realm was as easy for him as crushing an ant.
Beside him stood True Lord Bai Lian, clad in a plain white Daoist robe, her face exquisitely beautiful, surrounded by celestial Immortal Qi. A top-tier expert of the End Realm in the Zero Realm, she had lived for countless years, her temperament usually calm and composed. Yet now, her expression was grave, her brows furrowed, and she spoke in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to persuade him. This man is determined to destroy the realm; words of persuasion are useless. Our only task now is to join forces and stop him. If we hesitate any longer, within half a quarter of an hour, we will all die, and the entire Zero Realm will be reduced to ruins!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a chilling, blood-stained voice suddenly rang out—it was the Blood Demon, who resided in the Blood Fiend Land.
He was enveloped in an aura of murderous intent as dark as ink, his body hunched over, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, and his bloodshot eyes fixed on Ye Changge, filled with malevolence. "Bai Lian, do you really think that even with so many of us at the End Realm level, and we've laid Heavenly Net and Earthly Web, we still can't kill a mere Human Race brat?"
Before he could finish speaking, the Blood Demon could no longer contain his killing intent and arrogance. He stomped his feet and shattered the void. His terrifying killing power erupted instantly, sweeping across the area like a black tsunami. Wherever it passed, space shattered inch by inch, and even the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was stained Blood Color.
The power of the end gathered in his palm, transforming into a huge Blood Color Demonic Saber. The blade was wrapped in evil Sha Qi and carried a Heavenly Destruction power as it crushed towards Ye Changge. Wherever the blade passed, even space and time seemed to be torn apart, emitting a piercing sound of air being torn apart.
"In the end, they are nothing but vermin in the shadows, only capable of such despicable sneak attacks." Ye Changge looked at the Blood Demon charging towards him, his smile unchanged, the contempt in his tone growing stronger, and he didn't even move an inch.
The moment the words fell, he flicked his fingertips, and a "kill" character, entirely gilded and with incredibly sharp strokes, suddenly materialized from the void.
The word "kill" was small, yet it contained supreme power capable of destroying the Heavenly Destruction. Its golden light shone brightly, illuminating the entire dark world. Wherever it passed, the Blood Demon's killing power and aura of the end were instantly melted away, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, leaving not even a trace.
The Blood Demon's attack, which poured all his cultivation into it, was utterly ineffective against the golden "Kill" character.
"That's it? That's it?" Ye Changge looked at the Blood Demon, who was frozen in place, and sneered with disdain. The contempt in his eyes was like a sharp blade piercing the Blood Demon's heart.
The Blood Demon stood there, his head buzzing, completely bewildered.
His bloodshot eyes widened in disbelief, his mind reeling: How could this be? He was a top expert of the End Realm, his Killing Demon Art unparalleled in Vertical and Horizontal Zero Realm, never having met an opponent. Yet now, his full-force attack had been completely neutralized by a single, casual word from the opponent, and he couldn't even get within ten meters of him?
He couldn't understand how things had developed to this point. Just what terrifying power did this Human Race possess to be able to do something so casually?
"What are you all standing there for? Are you all just waiting to die? Can't you feel how terrifying this guy is? If you don't make a move, we're all going to die here!"
The Blood Demon snapped out of his daze, feeling the golden "kill" character still carrying a deadly threat, slowly pressing down on him. Every inch of his skin felt an icy chill, and his very soul trembled. He immediately roared madly, his voice filled with despair and panic.
In this life-or-death moment, the Blood Demon could no longer hold back. Roaring, he unleashed all his power, causing the Blood Color Demonic Saber in his hand to swell once more. " Demonic Saber, the final strike! All evil blade power, cut it down!"
He unleashed several consecutive slashes, each one imbued with his life's cultivation. The black sword energy collided with the golden "Kill" character, but it failed to cause any ripples. The sword energy was instantly dissolved, unable to budge the "Kill" character in the slightest.
"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!" Seeing this, the Blood Demon gritted his teeth, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes. He knew he couldn't resist at all, so he simply detonated his life's cultivation and physical body, choosing to self-destruct!
boom--!
A deafening explosion suddenly rang out, and the power of the Blood Demon's self-destruction swept across the entire world. The pitch-black Blood Color shockwave swept in all directions, causing mountains to collapse, the earth to shatter, and space to completely collapse into Black Hole. Even the laws of nature were shattered. The terrifying power changed the color of the world and extinguished the sun and moon.
This scene caused the expressions of the three who had just arrived—Demon Halberd, White Lotus True Lord, and Xuan Tian True Person— to change drastically. Their pupils shrank, and their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
"How is this possible? In the blink of an eye, the Blood Demon was forced to self-destruct to survive. What kind of power is this? What kind of divine ability is that golden 'kill' character?" The three roared in disbelief, their fear reaching its peak.
They knew the Blood Demon's strength all too well. Even if they joined forces, it would take them a lot of effort to suppress him. But now, the Blood Demon couldn't even withstand a single move from Ye Changge and ended up self-destructing. The difference in their strength was like an insurmountable chasm!
However, despite the terrifying power of the Blood Demon's self-destruction, Ye Changge remained standing still, his expression calm and unresponsive.
The golden character "kill" slowly descended, completely crushing and Destruction the terrifying shockwave of the Blood Demon's self-destruction. All the aftershocks of the explosion disappeared into thin air ten meters away from Ye Changge, as if they had never existed. Within ten meters of Ye Changge, there was an absolutely safe haven.
But the others were not so lucky. The aftershocks of the Blood Demon's self-destruction, no longer suppressed by the word "kill," spread wildly, Destruction everything within a radius of 100,000 meters. Mountains, rivers, cities, and living beings were all reduced to ashes, leaving not even a complete skeleton behind. Everywhere one looked, there was devastation and utter chaos, turning the place into a forbidden zone of death.
Only a handful of people managed to protect themselves with their top-tier supernatural abilities: the Heavenly Dao, relying on the World Origin, barely managed to block the aftershocks; Ancestor Xuan Yu unleashed his natal magic weapon, his body surrounded by spiritual light; upon seeing this, Demon Sky-Piercing Halberd abandoned his human form and transformed into his true form, the Fangtian Halberd, its body radiating brilliant White Light to protect himself; a nine-grade white lotus platform instantly appeared beneath the feet of True Lord Bai Lian, radiating brilliant white light and tightly enveloping her, barely managing to withstand the aftershocks; True Person made hand seals, and Yin-Yang eight trigrams patterns appeared around his body, rotating to resist the impact of the shockwave.
After finally regaining their footing, the group was pale and breathing heavily. The contempt and hostility they had shown before were gone, replaced by deep fear and apprehension when they looked at Ye Changge.
"Heh heh, is this the strength of the myriad Myriad Races? It's too weak, not even enough to make me want to fight." Ye Changge glanced at the disheveled crowd, his disdain growing stronger, his tone flippant yet carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.
Upon hearing this, all the surviving powerhouses present were filled with overwhelming killing intent and rage. They stared intently at Ye Changge, wishing they could tear him to pieces. However, due to the opponent's terrifying strength, none of them dared to make a move again.
Ye Changge's gaze fell on Bai Lian True Lord, scrutinizing her from head to toe. His tone was somewhat mocking. "Bai Lian True Lord, right? You've lived for countless years, possessing profound cultivation, yet you've always remained chaste, never touched by a man. Now you're about to perish here, watching the Zero Realm you've protected crumble. Aren't you furious? Aren't you resentful?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in shock. No one had expected Ye Changge to suddenly say such a thing, and the atmosphere instantly became strange.
Upon hearing this, True Lord Bailian was taken aback at first, then a meaningful smile appeared on her face. Her beautiful face, paired with this smile, possessed a unique charm. She parted her lips slightly and replied calmly, "Oh? Is that so? Then if I'm willing, I'll give it to you. Do you dare to take it?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Changge's playful expression vanished instantly, replaced by deep disgust and disdain. He frowned and coldly rebuked, "Forget it, you bunch of scum from Myriad Races, covered in filth. I find you disgusting, afraid of being infected by your filth, afraid of contracting evil diseases and ruining my peace of mind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Changge said no more. His eyes suddenly turned cold, and his aura surged. In the void, five golden "kill" characters simultaneously condensed and hovered in front of him. They shone brightly with golden light and exuded overwhelming killing intent. Each "kill" character contained even more terrifying power than the previous one. The five "kill" characters joined together, transforming into a golden killing domain, which fiercely crushed towards the five people: Heavenly Dao, White Lotus True Lord, Demon Halberd, Xuan Tian True Person, and Xuan Yu Ancestor!
In an instant, the world fell silent, and all the powerful figures turned deathly pale.
