Chapter 0: Extinction Thunder
"Don't celebrate too soon. The seal of Shishu has been broken. That was merely a remnant of Shishu's killing intent left in this world. How long can it last?" The Thin Elder of the Demon Sect said coldly.
Elder Ji, while fending off the crowd, replied, "A single killing intent is enough to annihilate the Demon Sect."
"What arrogance! Today, I shall see who will meet their end," the Thin Elder retorted angrily.
The mountain trembled, and the sky darkened.
Dressed in white, Shishu approached step by step. He was tall and handsome, resembling a God King. His eyes seemed to hold two starry skies, deep and unfathomable.
As Shishu moved with ease, an overwhelming pressure radiated from him, making it hard for others to bear, inducing a feeling of suffocation.
In the distance, the Nine-Tiered Fierce Beasts knelt one after another. This was no longer merely the pressure of extreme power; it was a force that reached its zenith, commanding reverence like a deity. Deep within their hearts, they felt an unparalleled piety and could not help but bow down.
"Roar..."
With a loud roar, Tao Tie awakened the Nine-Tiered Fierce Beasts. They shook their heads vigorously and let out desperate roars to resist Shishu's divine might.
Shishu did not even glance at the crowd. With a casual wave of his hand, beams of Divine Radiance shot forth from him, landing on several Nine-Tiered Fierce Beasts.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
With the sound of explosions, all the Nine-Tiered Fierce Beasts perished in an instant.
Tao Tie was the first to approach those fallen beasts. As they exploded, he consumed their blood entirely, transforming it into Essence Blood within himself.
With just a flick of his hand and a lift of his foot, he had slain several Nine-Tiered Fierce Beasts. This was Shishu's power, shocking and terrifying everyone present.
"Shishu has come back to life."
"The invincible Shishu is still alive."
The Sovereigns sighed in disbelief.
"It’s you again."
Tao Tie let out a reluctant roar, fear gripping its heart as it hesitated to fight. It immediately turned to flee in another direction. However, this area was sealed by Shishu, and Tao Tie could not break through the barrier.
Shishu stepped toward Tao Tie, its white robes fluttering, eyes as calm as a deep well. It radiated Divine Radiance and auspicious light.
Tao Tie, having consumed too much flesh and blood, was enveloped in a crimson glow that extended for a hundred feet around it. As Shishu approached slowly, the red light on Tao Tie burned away, transforming into Azure Smoke.
Tao Tie endured immense pain: "You have sealed me for thousands of years, yet you are not willing to let go? One day, I will make Divine Ruins pay the price."
A blood-red light surged from Tao Tie's spiritual crown. This was its Primordial Spirit attempting to escape. Tao Tie intended to abandon its powerful and terrifying physical form just to survive.
However, Shishu would not allow it to succeed.
In the eyes of the Supreme Being, resistance was a futile struggle. Shishu represented the Supreme Might of the Cultivation World's cultivators. It was said that its combat power surpassed even that of the Market.
Raising a hand, Shishu unleashed its self-created Miraculous Technique—the Shishu Finger.
A starry finger imprint crashed down, pinning down the escaping Primordial Spirit of Tao Tie, forcefully pushing it back into its body.
"You think you can kill me? Mere intent is not enough."
As Tao Tie raised its hand, a blinding light flew in from the side. An ancient, incomplete tower appeared in its grasp.
"This is the Imperial Artifact, the Desolate Tower," exclaimed Qingyun Sect Leader Helan Mountain, astonished.
"The treasure of Emperor Huang has not been destroyed, and now it reappears in this realm. Why has it fallen into the hands of the ferocious beast?"
"Who is supporting this ferocious beast from behind?"
Several surviving Sovereigns suppressed their shock and began to discuss. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that everything happening today was part of a long-planned scheme, aimed at rescuing Tao Tie.
Buzzing...
The incomplete Desolate Tower emitted the ancient sound of the Great Dao. Even in its fragmented state, it could still unleash power surpassing that of a Sacred Artifact. Massive beams of light erupted from within the Desolate Tower, shooting straight into the sky. Each beam was as enormous as a Mountain.
Moreover, this was not merely the overwhelming power of the Desolate Tower; it was the aura of an Imperial Artifact naturally flowing forth as the tower revived.
"Sacred Artifacts cover the nine provinces, while Imperial Artifacts break through them."
Helan Mountain witnessed a destructive power far beyond his own and gasped in astonishment. He quickly retreated with his son, He Rongsheng, distancing themselves from this place of chaos.
With the Imperial Artifact in hand, Tao Tie felt invincible. Years of restraint and humiliation were released at this moment. It let out a long howl: "With the Imperial Artifact in my possession, what do you have to challenge me?"
Tao Tie swung the Desolate Tower. The tower exhaled the true might of the Imperial Artifact. A colossal and terrifying force pierced through the heavens.
At that moment, even cultivators thousands of miles away felt the momentum of the Imperial Artifact shattering the sky.
"Is this the might of an Imperial Artifact? Capable of striking down stars from the Void?" Divine General Manor's Sovereign Li Jing exclaimed in surprise.
The Imperial Artifact's Divine Radiance transformed into a punch from Tao Tie, descending from the Void. This fist was enormous, covering Nine Provinces. Its speed increased rapidly, annihilating any stars in its path as it descended toward Shishu's head.
"This is merely a fragmented Imperial Artifact that has not truly awakened, yet it can still shatter stars. It feels like we have returned to the battlefields of Ancient Times."
Qingyun Sect Leader Helan Mountain sighed.
Shishu stood quietly, unmoving. His expression remained calm, devoid of any other emotion. It was as if a giant fist was about to descend upon the earth, crushing all living beings beneath it. Shishu extended two fingers.
“Shishu Finger.”
In the distance, Elder Ji and Battle’s Thin Elder spoke gravely. The Shishu Finger was one of Shishu's most powerful Divine Abilities. It was said that a single finger could pierce through the stars in the Void. They wondered if a killing intent unleashed would be enough to withstand the beast god's Imperial Artifact strike.
Shishu's two fingers rose like pillars from the ground, breaking through the sphere they occupied and entering the starry sky, where they met the fist of Tao Tie.
The fist of Tao Tie, enveloped in the power of the Desolate Tower, possessed the might to bring about destruction. If this punch landed beneath the sphere, it would likely obliterate more than half of it.
Boom... Boom...
Two muffled sounds echoed, not particularly violent. The fist capable of shattering stars was easily pinched between Shishu's two fingers, rendering it immobile.
The Demon Sect’s Thin Elder gasped in shock at this scene: “This... Shishu Finger is terrifying.”
“Indeed, Shishu is a Supreme Being among the earth. Our god may not stand a chance,” another elder from the Demon Sect expressed with concern.
“If that’s the case, we can only resort to our last resort,” Thin Elder pondered.
Tao Tie roared again in frustration, unable to believe that even wielding an Imperial Artifact, he was still no match for Shishu. He shouted, “What have I done to offend you? Why must you drive me to my death?”
Finally breaking his silence, Shishu spoke calmly: “Whether you are a fierce beast or a divine beast, you are all spirits of the earth from millennia ago. I have sealed you for thousands of years and spared your life. Yet your ferocity remains undiminished; today, I can only eliminate you.”
Tao Tie bellowed: “Stop pretending to be righteous! You just want to suppress me and make me your mount. I am the king of fierce beasts from ancient times, devouring countless lives throughout my existence. The human race can only kneel before me and beg for mercy. A mere killing intent from you cannot easily take my life.”
At these words, everyone erupted in astonishment.
“This isn’t Shishu resurrected; it turns out to be just a killing intent from Shishu.”
"It seems that Shishu has indeed fallen in battle."
"Shishu is as powerful as a deity. Who could possibly have the strength to kill Shishu?"
"Everyone, what if Shishu's killing intent isn't enough to defeat Tao Tie?"
"What else can we do? We can only flee; surviving is the priority."
In the Divine Ruins Realm.
After Lin Miaomiao consumed the Vitality Divine Mountain of the Divine Ruins, cracks began to appear on the cocoon surrounding her. From within those cracks, auspicious colors and Divine Radiance surged forth.
Eventually, the cocoon around Lin Miaomiao shattered into pieces, falling to the ground.
Lin Miaomiao opened her eyes.
Her breath was faint, and her expression was somewhat dazed. She murmured, "So this is me! So that person is him! Elder Ji was right; Lin Feng and I cannot be together forever!"
As soon as Lin Miaomiao finished speaking, dark clouds suddenly rolled in, and then lightning appeared in the sky.
The lightning was as large as a mountain, striking and terrifying.
It was not a bright flash but black lightning. The black lightning was known as Earth Annihilation Thunder. Only when a true force capable of overturning the Earth Rules emerged would such black lightning descend to bring destruction.
Since ancient times, only during a Sage's tribulation to become an Emperor would one encounter black Extinction Thunder.
However, Lin Miaomiao was not an Emperor, and at this moment she felt as weak as a mortal, yet she was facing the overwhelming killing intent of the Earth Rules. The Earth Rules sought to bring about her demise.
Lin Miaomiao looked up at the flickering black thunder in the Void and revealed a stubborn smile. "No matter what, I cannot die now. I haven't seen Lin Feng yet; I haven't given birth to our child."
Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but stretch out her hands to embrace her belly. It was slightly rounded, a sign of new life.
Suddenly, a mountain appeared above Lin Miaomiao's head. It was Dugu Po unleashing his cultivation. Lin Miaomiao looked up at the mountain created by Dugu Po and smiled lightly, "Second Senior Brother, I just realized how tall you really are, even taller than before."
Dugu Po replied seriously, "Not tall enough; I need to be taller."
"Why do you need to be taller?"
"Only then can we avoid blocking each other's sight."
"Oh."
Lin Miaomiao nodded, somewhat understanding. Suddenly, she thought of an important question: "Second Senior Brother, am I considered a disciple of Divine Ruins?"
"Divine Ruins accepts disciples only with the master's consent. We will know when the master returns; even the First Senior Brother cannot decide that."
"But I just called you Second Senior Brother, and you accepted it."
"That is merely a title between us."
"So, even if the Market doesn't accept me, you are still my Second Senior Brother?"
"Junior Sister, why do you have so many questions?"
"Because I'm worried about your pain. Is it true that if we change the subject, your back won't hurt as much?"
Endless black thunder rained down on Dugu Po's back like a divine whip. The black Extinction Thunder struck his back, creating wound after wound.
Blood flowed from the wounds. Dugu Po's flesh was torn open, revealing white bones. The bones shattered, exposing the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Internal Organs within.
"Second Senior Brother, does it hurt a lot? When I saw Lin Feng practicing before, it was always like this—his body was constantly being destroyed. He would bleed, scab over, recover, and then bleed again. Does it really have to be this hard?"
"We're not you."
"Hehe, I've been cultivating for over ten thousand years. By age, I'm even older than Market. You all have only cultivated for a few centuries, some for over a thousand years, yet you surpass me. Thinking about it this way, enduring some suffering is worth it... Oh no... something just dripped on my forehead... it's blood... Second Senior Brother, you're coughing up blood..."
"Junior Sister, you talk too much. Can you let me have some peace?" Dugu Poxu said weakly.
"If you do that, you'll die."
"Better to be struck by lightning than to be killed by your noise."
"Hehe, so Second Senior Brother can joke too." (To be continued...)
