Rumble!
Infrasound, high temperature, impact, and radiation instantly engulfed the Moon Worship Sect Leader.
The black robe turned to ashes, and the hair and beard slowly disappeared, followed by the skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs.
The puzzled look on the Moon Worship Sect Leader's face disappeared, but he showed no panic or pain whatsoever.
Yes, but only with indifference.
"I see!"
A whisper-like voice rang out, and the Moon Worship Sect Leader's body turned to ashes, as if he had vanished from this world.
More than a thousand thermonuclear bombs, ten times more powerful than those from Hiroshima Nagasaki, turned the entire Southern Borderlands into a desolate wasteland.
The lake, which was originally 10,000 meters deep, has completely dried up, leaving only a thick layer of diamonds.
High temperature and pressure altered the properties of carbon, transforming it into hard diamonds.
The extremely high temperatures and terrifying high-energy rays turned this place into a death trap, and also scattered all the clouds within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.
Under normal circumstances, it will rain soon after a nuclear explosion.
The terrifying power of nuclear weapons causes drastic changes in the environment, sending countless particles of dust into the sky.
But this time was different; the clouds in the sky had all dispersed, and the water molecules had all been pushed to other places.
There will be no dark clouds here for a while, and not a drop of water will fall.
But reality always seems to contradict theory. The sky suddenly darkened, and countless dark clouds appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the bright moon.
It looked as if countless guards were protecting the emperor from Assassin.
The sky was dark, and the moon was very round.
As the bright moonlight shone down, the once lifeless earth began to sprout new life.
The crystallized ground continued to crack, turning into countless tiny fragments.
Tender shoots sprouted, bringing a touch of green to the ravaged world.
The buds grew larger and larger, eventually becoming a sapling.
After that, it sprouted new branches and buds, and a delicate little flower quietly bloomed.
In less than the time it takes to drink half a Kung Fu Hustle, it felt as if hundreds of years of evolution had passed.
The original desolation and sorrow disappeared, and the earth was rejuvenated.
Fragrant grasses cover the ground, and green trees carpet the ground. Butterflies dance among the flowers, and bees are intoxicated by the tender stamens.
Several small animals hopped and skipped, looked up at the fruit on the tree, and then nibbled on some grass.
Everything looked so pleasant and beautiful.
Everything before seemed to have been an illusion.
"Young man, what do you think of this new world?"
The voice of the Moon Worship Sect Leader rang out, and the bright moonlight transformed into steps, supporting Shi Jieren as he walked out of the moon.
"Is this what you call the new world?"
Xu Long sighed; he knew the Moon Worship Sect Leader had gone mad.
I originally thought that creating a new world after the destruction of the world would be like creating a new race, just like the Creator.
However, he now realized that the Moon Worship Sect Leader was only deceiving himself.
That's understandable; human nature is complex.
Where there is love, there is hate; where there is good, there is bad. How could a world filled with love possibly exist?
Life is inherently selfish; even paramecia know to compete for food, and twins in the womb instinctively fight for nutrients, let alone intelligent humans.
"Isn't this world good?"
The Moon Worship Sect Leader looked at Xu Long, his entire eyeballs turning blood red.
He's become a demon!
Xu Long's words had a huge impact on him, and he couldn't understand them until the nuclear explosion.
He believed there was no love in the world, but in reality, he personally gave up the love that his adoptive father, Shi Gonghu, had given him.
His convictions wavered, and he began to doubt himself.
If this continues, his strength may decline.
However, Lin Qing'er used up her last bit of power in order to send Xu Long back to find the Water Spirit Pearl and Fire Spirit Pearl ten years ago.
The stone statue suppressing the Water Demon Beast has collapsed, and the Water Demon Beast will soon awaken.
Under these circumstances, Xu Long could no longer afford to wait.
So when the crisis of death arrived, the Moon Worship Sect Leader simply gave up on thinking about it.
He chose to become a demon, choosing to walk a dead end.
"Truth and falsehood are essentially the same. If you believe something is true, even falsehood can become true. But there's a prerequisite: it must be your own choice. What you impose on others is ultimately just a deception."
Xu Long is a typical idealist, and an extremely self-centered one at that.
I can escape from myself, I can deceive myself, but others can't.
I can choose to fall into depravity, but I cannot let others force me to do so.
"A very interesting idea, it seems similar to mine, but there's a fundamental difference. But that's okay, I can guide you into my world. Trust me, you'll love that place."
The Moon Worship Sect Leader smiled and extended his hands to Xu Long.
"Absurd! Incomprehensible!"
Xu Long roared and launched an attack.
Tenfold King Kai Fist!
Heaven-Splitting Divine Palm!
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Long unleashed his strongest killing move.
As for the transformation, it's gone.
When Xu Long's physical transformation was complete, that pure power completely Fusion with his body, which was the fundamental reason for his rapid advancement in strength.
laugh!
A terrifyingly sharp aura appeared out of nowhere, instantly cleaving the Moon Worship Sect Leader in two.
However, this palm strike was weak and unforced, as if it had landed on empty air, and there was no notification of the Main God's kill.
Without a doubt, Xu Long failed.
It wasn't that the Heaven-Splitting Divine Palm wasn't powerful enough, but rather that it simply didn't hit the opponent at all.
How is that possible?
Looking at the Moon Worship Sect Leader, who appeared like a phantom, a look of fear appeared on Xu Long's face.
His mental energy swept over, and there stood the Moon Worship Sect Leader.
But when the Heaven-Splitting Divine Palm struck, it failed to harm the opponent in the slightest.
What exactly happened?
"No! It's the moon!"
Xu Long's gaze fell upon the bright moon in the sky, enormous, seemingly within reach. Its radiance seemed not to reflect sunlight, but rather to shine forth on its own.
The Moon Worship Sect doesn't worship the moon in the sky, but rather the moon in Shi Jieren's heart.
"To transform the abstract into the concrete, and to solidify intent into stars?"
Xu Long was filled with shock. He knew that the Moon Worship Sect Leader was strong, but he never expected him to be this strong.
Once he breaks through, this bright moon will transform into a real star.
Replace the moon in reality with the moon in your heart.
Wherever the moonlight shines, that is his territory.
As long as the believer holds the moon in their heart, they are immortal.
It's somewhat similar to the Water Demon Beast Beast's ability to be born from water, but it's more advanced and more powerful.
The Moon Worship Sect Leader truly deserves to be one of only two intelligent people in the Sword and Fairy World, and is indeed the pinnacle of this world.
With such strength, such temperament, and such wisdom, if he had been born in the most ancient era of China mythology, he would probably have been another Fuxi, the ancestor of humanity who created the world with a single stroke.
"Master, I underestimated you."
Xu Long's expression was grim; he was prepared to fight to the death.
Shi Jieren's cultivation had reached a level that was beyond his comprehension, and he was not far from becoming a legendary immortal.
Or rather, at this moment, he had already stepped one foot into the ranks of the Terrestrial True Immortal.
