Slaughter the City, Exterminate the Night Beasts!
Black Nightmare City, towering city walls.
The four-armed Night Beast patrolled the area, vigilantly watching their surroundings; although few foreign enemies dared to invade this Death Realm.
But for thousands of years, those heavenly lightning monsters that descended from beyond the sky have always been a nightmare imprinted deep in their blood.
Sudden.
A guard leader suddenly raised his head, and the bone spurs on his back stood on end!
What is that?
Thousands of feet above the ground, the eternally unchanging, pitch-black leaden clouds suddenly rippled with a strange golden-red hue.
Like a spark falling into ink.
Immediately afterwards, the ripples spread wildly, and a scalding yang energy that made one's skin ache suddenly rose from the originally dead and cold world!
Rumble--!!!
Without warning, a Lei Ming that shook the heavens ripped open!
The entire defensive barrier of Black Nightmare City trembled violently like water ripples after this loud noise.
Countless Night Beast that were sleeping or breathing dark energy in the city simultaneously coughed up a mouthful of black blood and howled in agony, clutching their heads.
"Enemy attack--!!"
The piercing roar had just echoed from the city wall when the sky shattered completely!
Boom!!
A colossal purple-gold ray, stretching for tens of thousands of feet, resembled a world-shattering divine punishment hurled down by a celestial being, carrying the purest and most powerful Righteous Yang Lightning.
It instantly struck the central defensive hub of Black Nightmare City!
Snap!
The enormous eyeball crystal, which had been personally refined by the Spirit Transformation Night Beast and was suspended in mid-air above the city, couldn't even hold on for half a breath.
Under the intense Pure Yang Divine Lightning, it shattered into pieces, turning into countless fragments of rock that shot out into the sky!
The defensive formation collapsed as a result!
In that instant, the world was as bright as day; millions of Night Beast screamed in agony, their eyes, which had lived in absolute darkness for so long, were instantly scorched into blackened, bloody holes by the blinding lightning!
"Roar! What barbarians dare to trespass upon my kingdom?!"
A sharp roar suddenly erupted from the deepest underground palace in the city.
A thick black fog billowed into the sky, and the earth shook violently.
A massive, four-armed beast, hundreds of feet tall, burst from the ground, its entire body covered in thick armor as black as obsidian.
A single, spiraling horn, curved like the moon, grew from the top of his head, and his violent, Spirit Transformation pressure raged out like a mountain torrent or tsunami.
It is none other than Mo Yuan, the Lord of Black Nightmare City and the Night Beast!
However, before Mo Yuan could pinpoint the enemy's location, a colossal, purple-gold hand, formed entirely of lightning and blotting out the sky, crashed down from the depths of the sea of clouds!
[Purple Pivot Lightning] Righteous Divine Ability Power - Palm Governing the Nine Heavens!
"Die!"
Deep within the clouds, Shi Jian's figure emerged; his white robe was tinged with golden light, his face was as cold and divine, and his right palm slowly pressed down.
Rumble rumble rumble--!
The incredibly violent lightning transformed into a tangible, oppressive force above the giant city, causing the towering city walls to crumble inch by inch like withered, rotten wood.
Rows and rows of stone houses, towers, and dark palaces shattered and disintegrated in the lightning.
The earth cracked and lightning swept across the land!
Under the immense power of this supreme Yang Thunder, the million mutated Night Beast didn't even have the chance to escape. They were evaporated into wisps of blue smoke, their flesh and bones turning into charred ashes.
Screams, wails, and Lei Ming roared together, creating a final, apocalyptic melody.
This was a massacre with no suspense whatsoever!
Shi Jian's eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a still well. Back in the Dao Realm and on the Two Realms Battlefield, countless souls had perished at his hands.
The Dao Path is long and arduous; compassion cannot govern an army, nor can righteousness manage wealth.
Moreover, facing these alien beings destined to become resources, Shi Jian felt no burden whatsoever in annihilating them all.
"I, the King, will devour you alive, you wicked demon!!"
Watching helplessly as his clan's city, which he had cultivated for millennia, was transformed into a fiery inferno, Mo Yuan was filled with resentment...
With a wave of its four giant arms, the Dao of Darkness Immortal Foundation blazed brightly, and the Lightless Dao energy of the entire world converged madly upon it.
The black mist churned and transformed into four pitch-black bone blades, each a hundred feet long, tearing through the void; boundless Yin Qi rushed straight towards Shi Jian's face to strangle him!
Wherever it passed, four pitch-black void ravines were carved out of the space, which could not be healed for a long time, as if the void itself had been swallowed up.
"However, he only condensed a Immortal Foundation, merely borrowing the power of the Lightless."
"You dare to be so arrogant?"
Shi Jian remained indifferent, not even entertaining the thought of dodging.
Buzz!
Within the Dantian, the three Dao platforms simultaneously roared and operated!
The sharpness of the Purple Firmament Lightning, the composure of the Purple Pivot Lightning, and the vastness of the Righteous Yang Lightning —the three Immortal Foundation powers of immortality—perfectly merged.
Bolts of lightning exploded, transforming into tens of thousands of lightning snakes that shattered his bone blades; like snow meeting the Lieyang, they instantly vanished into nothingness.
Then thunder shone upon the world, banishing all the darkness!
"How could this be?!"
Mo Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted. He hadn't expected that his full-force attack would be so easily neutralized by the opponent. This was the first time in ten thousand years that such a powerful extraterrestrial lightning demon had appeared!
Both being Spirit Transformation, it occupied the main arena of heaven and earth, and its full-force attack, imbued with the Daoist essence of Lightless Dao, couldn't even budge its opponent in the slightest?!
"You've made your move; now it's my turn."
With a thought, Shi Jian caused the void to tremble, and a fierce, heavy spear, as black as ink and twelve feet long, appeared in his palm.
The moment the spear appeared, the deathly aura, Sha Qi, and lingering lightning on the entire Black Nightmare City ruins seemed to find their home, frantically converging towards the spear.
At the core of the spear blade, a wisp of Life-Extinguishing Nether Lightning flickered, emanating an extreme murderous intent that made the entire world tremble!
"Dao Artifact!"
Mo Yuan's scales stood on end, and an unprecedented sense of crisis erupted from the depths of his soul.
Escape!
Without the slightest hesitation, this ferocious and awe-inspiring Spirit Transformation Night Beast transformed into a jet-black torrent and fled madly into the distance.
This Thunder Demon is no ordinary being; we must notify the Night Kings of all sides as soon as possible!
Do you think you can escape?
Shi Jian raised his arm slightly, sneered, and the moment the spear left his hand, a void rift more than tens of feet wide was completely ripped open!
Buzz-!
The spear, like a black line of death piercing through the era, struck first despite being behind, and directly penetrated thousands of feet of the earth's black rock veins.
The next instant, it pierced right through Mo Yuan's back!
Puff!
Mo Yuan's massive body suddenly froze in mid-air; it lowered its head with difficulty, looking at the huge hole that had been torn open in its chest.
No blood gushed out.
The Life-Extinguishing Nether Lightning contained within the Immortal-Slaying Spear transformed into countless annihilating torrents the instant it pierced his body.
The power of the Great Dao pulverized its internal organs, meridians, and hidden Dao of Darkness Immortal Foundation into dust, completely annihilating it!
"Who... exactly are you...?"
Mo Yuan's eyes quickly dimmed, his throat bobbed, and after uttering his last lingering sound, he perished completely.
Shi Jian appeared in front of him; he reached into Mo Yuan's body with one hand, his five fingers slightly clenched, and then suddenly withdrew.
Clatter
A crystal core, the size of a fist, perfectly round like black jade, with what appeared to be countless layers of night flowing inside, fell into Shi Jian's palm.
Dark Beast Heart Core!
Fifth tier, Dao of Darkness treasure.
With a casual gesture, the Immortal-Slaying Spear swiftly flew back, transforming into a stream of light that entered Shi Jian's body.
Mo Yuan's enormous, mangled body collapsed the instant it lost its core, turning into a cloud of black sand that scattered with the wind.
From their arrival, the breaching of the city, the slaughter, to the annihilation of the Spirit Transformation Night Beast.
It all happened in the blink of an eye.
The once mighty Black Nightmare City, which ruled over thousands of miles and had millions of inhabitants, is now nothing but a scorched abyss with wisps of smoke rising from it.
"This Spirit Transformation cultivator's strength is mediocre; he possesses neither powerful treasures nor any extraordinary Divine Ability. It seems that this realm has been depleted of resources for a long time, making it difficult to obtain high-level materials."
"Over time, even profound Secret Method became impossible to cultivate; and various treasures could not be crafted due to a lack of resources."
"This level of strength would be among the lowest-ranking Nascent Spirit Transformation in the outside world."
"With all my current contingency plans, if I were to encounter Night Beast at the Perfected Spirit Transformation, I should be able to come and go as I please."
