Such power is enough to injure any Eternal. Even beings like the Lord of Truth and the Mother of the Stars would be harmed if struck head-on by the Domain Thunder; they would not emerge unscathed.
But none of them hid.
The first Domain Thunder struck, Void between the Lord of Truth and the Mother of the Stars. The lightning exploded, transforming into countless dark purple bolts of electricity that scattered and electrolyzed the surrounding spatial fragments into even finer particles of law.
The second, the third, the fourth... more and more Domain Thunder began to descend, striking the area between them like a torrential downpour, yet miraculously, not a single bolt struck them directly. The lightning seemed to possess a life of its own, swirling and circling around them, drawing a grand prelude to the impending ultimate collision.
The moment Domain Thunder, the Mother of the Stars moved.
He suddenly grabbed the Chaos Stele behind him, his hands gripping the edges of the tablet like pincers, and then pressed down hard! Under His will, the Chaos Stele suddenly deformed, its heavy body flowing, contracting, and condensing like molten metal, finally transforming into a huge stone hammer that He held tightly in his hand.
The stone hammer was ten thousand feet long, its head resembling a continent compressed to its extreme, its entire body a thick, earthy brown. The handle was entwined with ancient and weathered vine patterns, the earth's memories absorbed by the Chaos Stele over countless years, each pattern recording the complete process of a newly created material from its birth to maturity.
This is the final form of the Chaos Stele.
This Miracle Creation was endowed with the properties of "matter" from the moment of its birth—it can freely generate any matter that exists in the Astral Realm, and it can also use these matter to combine into more mysterious and unique new materials.
Over the long course of time, the Mother of the Stars used this creation to create countless materials that benefited the Astral Realm, from the most basic stardust to the most complex Eternity Adamantine. The birth of each new material left a new imprint of memory on the Chaos Stele. And with each new material added, the power of the Chaos Stele grew stronger, more substantial, and more indestructible.
As the power of this Miracle Creation was fully unleashed, a terrifying sense of oppression exploded from the Mother of the Stars. That oppression materialized into visible brown shockwaves, like the earth itself, heavy enough to crush everything, roaring. Wherever the shockwaves passed, the spatial structure was bent and deformed by that pure mass, emitting creaking and groaning sounds.
This is --
The Mother of the Stars gazed upon the Lord of Truth before her, her golden-brown pupils reflecting Lord of Truth platinum figure. She paused, then uttered the name: "The Hammer of Earth."
He did not name his weapon after "chaos." Even though chaos held an extremely important place in his cultivation system, in his heart, "the earth" was his true origin. It was the primal power with which he resonated since the most ancient times in the Astral Realm, the beginning and the end of his journey from the First-Step Eternity towards eternity. Only true love and unwavering faith can forge Eternity and invincibility.
The Hammer of Earth floated beside the Mother of the Stars, its handle held in one hand. The hammerhead sank slightly, its weight requiring even the Mother of the Stars to exert all her strength to hold it firmly. Her starlight-shimmering robes billowed without wind, like a vast celestial canopy covering one side of the Astral Realm, dyeing half the sky a deep brown. Her golden-brown pupils radiated an even more terrifying oppressive aura, causing even the laws of nature to tremble and retreat in the face of her gaze.
One after another, Domain Thunder struck down, precisely hitting the head of the Hammer of Earth. The hammerhead absorbed the power of the Domain Thunder, each bolt coiling into a dark purple arc of electricity sharp enough to cut through Eternity on its surface. These arcs surged, intertwined, and intensified wildly across the hammer's surface, like a net of Destruction woven from primordial lightning, pushing the Hammer of Earth's already astonishing destructive power to a new level.
The Mother of the Stars ' hair flew wildly in the gale, each step she took faster, more fiercely, and more resolutely than the last. From her initial slow pace, she gradually became a rapid walk, and finally a swift charge, like a mountain rising from the depths of the earth, carrying the weight of billions of years and the primal power of an entire realm, crashing down fiercely towards the Lord of Truth!
A fierce storm suddenly erupted.
The storm was not an ordinary air current, but a spontaneous tearing effect generated by the spatial structure after being subjected to excessive pressure. Dark spatial rifts appeared and disappeared in the storm, like ruthless executioners, constantly cutting through the already fragmented boundary space.
Directly above the Astral Realm, two enormous vortexes, large enough to cover the entire battlefield, had formed at some unknown time.
One of the vortexes was a deep, earthy brown, like an endless landmass suspended upside down in the sky. The vortex spun slowly, and with each rotation, an indescribable weight emanated from its depths, crushing the spatial structure below layer by layer. At the core of the vortex, the figure of the Mother of the Stars appeared and disappeared, holding aloft the Hammer of Earth, gathering a blow powerful enough to shatter everything.
The other vortex was a chaotic gray, filled with countless twisted runes. These runes rose and fell within the chaos, each shimmering with a different color of light. Between the runes, all-devouring Black Hole slowly rotated, blood-red sword intents of eternal slaughter crisscrossed, and gray wheels of Samsara silently turned. The figure of the Lord of Truth stood at the core of the vortex, the Spirit Saint Domain on his shoulder radiating a warm light, and the Spear of Truth in his hand flashing with an all-seeing purple light.
Two supreme forces clashed and clashed in the heavens. The heavy brown and the deep gray collided, eroded, and squeezed each other, each clash causing swathes of space to collapse and laws to break. Accompanying the collision of these two forces, countless Domain Thunder spread and expanded around the Astral Realm, some striking into the distant Chaos Sea, stirring up towering chaotic waves; others falling into the star planes below, illuminating the entire star field as if it were daytime.
Amidst the tremors of the Domain Thunder, miniature worlds were born on the edge of the Chaos Sea —they condensed earth, fire, wind, and water from nothingness, evolving into mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars in just a few breaths—only to be shattered, annihilated, and returned to nothingness by Domain Thunder in the next instant.
Amidst the tremors of the Domain Thunder, various Primordial Law sprouted, grew, and perfected in the aftershocks of the collision—some laws were born from the chaotic collision, carrying the will of new life; some laws sprouted from the resonance of the earth, carrying a heavy mission; and many more laws shattered, decomposed, and reassembled into a new legal order in the more violent collision.
An incredibly grand, Epic scene unfolded on this battlefield.
In this moment, countless powerful beings were deeply moved. They gazed at the two supreme beings gradually colliding in the sky, their emotions seemingly traversing the long river of history in an instant. From the ancient era of the creation of the Astral Realm, to the long years of the rise and fall of countless civilizations, and now to this ultimate battle that would determine the final Fate of the Astral Realm. All the past, all the present, and all the future converged at this moment on the point where the two supreme forces were about to collide.
A fleeting moment that Eternity.
The figures of the Lord of Truth and the Mother of the Stars collided violently at the highest point of the Astral Realm!
The Hammer of Earth crashed down, carrying the weight of an entire realm, the accumulated power of countless years, and His unwavering original aspiration, pressing down fiercely on the head of the Lord of Truth! Wherever the hammer passed, space completely collapsed into nothingness, time shattered into fragments, and even cause and effect crumbled inch by inch under the pressure of the hammer's wind!
The Lord of Truth simply raised his hand, holding the Spear of Truth was a fusion of countless Miracle Creation, above his head. The spear and the hammer collided with a thunderous crash at the highest point of the Astral Realm!
Boom!
In that instant, the entire Astral Realm fell silent.
Even the sound itself was shattered by the terrifying force of the impact.
Then came the Destruction explosion.
Centered on the point of impact, a shockwave with a diameter exceeding the size of the Astral Realm itself suddenly spread outwards. Carrying the combined power of chaos and the earth, the shockwave, like a giant net covering everything, instantly engulfed the entire battlefield.
The Eternal were swept by the shockwave, and regardless of their strength, they were all forcibly thrown away, tumbling through the Void for countless miles before barely managing to regain their footing.
The Chaos Sea on the outer edge of the Astral Realm was completely stirred up, and countless chaotic energies transformed into towering waves, surging and spreading towards the infinitely distant depths of chaos.
Both figures were sent flying backward at the moment of impact, each retreating an unknown distance before regaining their footing.
The Lord of Truth's hand holding the gun trembled slightly, and a trickle of golden blood seeped from between his fingers.
The Mother of the Stars's hand, gripping the hammer, trembled as well; her thumb and forefinger split open, and brown blood dripped slowly down the hammer handle.
They stared at each other across the shattered Void, their fighting spirit burning even brighter than before.
