The Destruction of Fire Cloud Main City
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A devilish sound like a summons to death rang out. Ten rays of netherworld darkness erupted from the raised palms of the ten phantom figures, like hellish nether dragons bursting into the world, filled with endless bloodshed and destruction, as though they were a power that plunged all living beings into boundless despair!
Ten thirty-thousand-meter rays of darkness erupted, hurtling at an indescribable speed toward City Lord Pokong, toward the three elders, Heaven, Earth, and Man, and toward Fire Cloud Main City below. Wherever the dark radiance passed, countless spatial rifts shattered inch by inch, and black holes spread in every direction, as though the Nine Nether Hells had descended, engulfing who knew how many hundreds of thousands of kilometers around!
Watching the terrifying radiance hurtle toward them, City Lord Pokong and the three elders, Heaven, Earth, and Man, along with every cultivator in Fire Cloud Main City below, all blanched in horror at that moment!
Fear!
Boundless fear!
Their hair stood on end!
Chills ran down their spines!
Their souls trembled in terror!
At that moment, they were utterly stupefied. They could not understand why this young master, who resembled a god or devil, had suddenly attacked.
The tens of millions of cultivators throughout Fire Cloud Main City were the same. Stunned! Utterly stunned! Everything had happened too quickly, too suddenly, without the slightest warning!
At that moment.
Heaven and earth darkened!
The sun and moon reversed!
Space shattered!
Black holes spread!
Terror descended!
Above the firmament, it seemed as though an overwhelming darkness of unimaginable terror was descending, bearing an indescribably terrifying world-destroying power, as if it would collapse the heavens, shatter the earth, and bury all the heavens throughout eternity!
Terror!
Boundless terror!
At that moment, no one was spared its trembling fear!
In that instant, every cultivator in Fire Cloud Main City felt their heart plunge to the bottom of an abyss. Endless fear and despair surged ceaselessly within them, drowning their minds!
High in the sky, the approaching terror of death drove City Lord Pokong and the three elders, Heaven, Earth, and Man, into one final frenzy. They knew that at this moment, if they did not fight with their lives on the line, they truly faced ten deaths with no chance of survival!
In a flash!
"Space-Breaking Reverse Blade!"
"Wind Blade Devil Howl!"
Whoosh!
Their voices rang out.
A thirty-thousand-meter blade instantly appeared across the sky, cleaving through the void and streaking through the heavens as it slashed toward the ten rays of darkness with incomparably ferocious might.
The massive blade swept across the sky.
Within the void, endless gales seemed to roar, and terrifying tearing forces spilled outward, as though they could grind everything around them to pieces.
Hum!
Hum!
Hum!
At that moment, the three elders, Heaven, Earth, and Man, also unleashed their most powerful ultimate techniques. Saber intent, sword intent, and fist intent surged. In an instant, the void thundered, the sky fractured, brilliant radiance illuminated heaven and earth, and rolling ripples of power swept in every direction.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
At last, the dark radiance bearing boundless terror crashed into the ultimate techniques unleashed by City Lord Pokong and the other three in the void!
Following a thunderous roar, dazzling light from the collision instantly enveloped tens of thousands of meters of the firmament. Heaven and earth were turned upside down, and space for thousands of kilometers around shattered. The ultimate techniques unleashed by City Lord Pokong and the other three were annihilated the instant they touched the dark radiance.
Rumble!
After annihilating the four men's ultimate techniques, the dark radiance advanced like a blade splitting bamboo, hurtling straight toward City Lord Pokong and the other three with unparalleled might. Earth-shaking booms shook all directions as the dark radiance blasted through the sky, shining with boundless light in broad daylight.
"No!"
"No!"
At the moment death descended, City Lord Pokong and the three elders, Heaven, Earth, and Man, let out screams of utter terror that resounded through the clouds!
Their bodies were annihilated!
Their souls were annihilated!
Everything was annihilated!
Under the bombardment of the terrifying dark radiance, City Lord Pokong and the three elders, Heaven, Earth, and Man!
Perished!
Not even a speck of dust remained.
After annihilating City Lord Pokong and the three elders, Heaven, Earth, and Man, the four terrifying thirty-thousand-meter rays of darkness continued to bear boundless, terrifying might as they hurtled toward Fire Cloud Main City alongside the other seven rays of darkness.
City Lord Pokong was dead?
The three elders, Heaven, Earth, and Man, were dead too?
How could this happen?
They were the very heavens of Fire Cloud Main City! They were all Divine Body Realm powerhouses!
A thunderbolt from a clear sky.
Ten thousand thunderbolts crashing down upon their heads.
The impact made their skulls shudder.
It was utterly impossible to believe.
In their eyes, City Lord Pokong and the three elders, Heaven, Earth, and Man, were the heavens themselves, the very symbols of invincibility. Yet everything happening now was something they could neither accept nor believe.
Dead!
They were all dead!
That invincible city lord, those invincible beings who had guarded Fire Cloud Main City for hundreds of years.
Their pupils contracted sharply, their minds shook violently, dazed and stupefied, while the terrifying dark radiance continued hurtling down at tremendous speed.
In a flash.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Ten earth-shaking explosions resounded through heaven and earth. The entirety of Fire Cloud Main City was instantly destroyed. Towers, palaces, and living beings were all swallowed by the dark radiance, reduced to endless ashes within the impenetrable darkness.
Black holes enveloped everything, as though heaven and earth had become an extradimensional space!
Chaotic spatial undercurrents swept through the black holes, and terrifying fluctuations surged forth from within them. Wherever they passed, even heaven and earth were swallowed whole. That unfathomably terrifying presence was like an ancient savage beast opening its blood-filled maw, devouring everything!
Under the bombardment of the ten rays of darkness containing endless terror and endless destructive power, Fire Cloud Main City vanished like smoke in an instant, reduced to endless ashes amid the dark destruction!
The entire city vanished like smoke: its towers, its palaces, its streets, and all its living beings and myriad things. Everything was annihilated in the darkness!
The entire city perished! A tragedy in the mortal world! Only the boundless black holes remained!
Hum, hum, hum!
Chaotic undercurrents surged within the vast black holes. A terrifying, surging devouring force churned through the sky, frenziedly consuming everything around it.
"Can cultivation at Soul Infant Realm Great Perfection unleash such terrifying destructive power too? Is Annihilation of the Ten Directions too powerful, or is this a change brought about by cultivating anew?"
Thirty thousand meters up in the sky.
Jun Wudao murmured softly, his robes snapping in the wind and his long hair dancing wildly high in the sky. His pale, cold face showed neither joy nor sorrow, nor any trace of emotion.
His dark, fathomless eyes quietly watched the terrifying black holes below. Not the slightest ripple stirred in his eyes over the annihilation of a city and all its inhabitants. It was as though everything happening here had nothing to do with him, as though he were merely a passerby, a spectator, an outsider!
As though none of it had anything to do with him, Jun Wudao glanced down a couple of times, then instructed the system in his mind, System! Absorb the Breath of Origin and the Breath of Nirvana!
"Ding! Beginning absorption!"
As the words ended.
A pitch-black devouring vortex instantly appeared, enveloping the vast, terrifying black holes in the blink of an eye. Then an irresistible force that seemed capable of devouring even all the heavens erupted, instantly consuming those terrifying black holes in their entirety.
