491: Chapter 491 Global Shock

As more and more Demonic Beasts began to self-destruct, people finally understood what those red lights were.

The Demonic Beasts with lower Ranks could not withstand the energy infusion of the red light and would self-destruct directly while in flight!

Every self-destruction released a terrifying power capable of twisting space!

As for the Demonic Beasts with higher Ranks, they could manage to fly to the vicinity of the battleground.

They would self-destruct at the closest point to Chen Yi!

Using the lives of countless Demonic Beasts, they wove a web of self-destruction covering a radius of a hundred miles!

Leaving Chen Yi with nowhere to escape!

At this moment, everyone understood why ZERO chose Antarctica as the location for the decisive battle!

Before, some people thought he was considering the safety of ordinary citizens, as a battle of this level could flatten hundreds of kilometers with just a single shockwave!

Now the truth was revealed!

ZERO did not choose Antarctica to protect the public!

It was because there were a large number of wandering Demonic Beasts here!

It was because he could use these Demonic Beasts as self-destruct weapons!

"So shameless! So damn shameless!"

"ZERO, what kind of powerhouse are you! Is using such despicable methods all you can do?!"

"Chen Yi, run! Don't get surrounded!"

"You can't run! Those Demonic Beasts are pouring in from all directions, it's impossible to escape!"

"Go, Chen Yi, my idol!"

I am afraid no one knows whether Chen Yi can survive under such a siege—

Over Antarctica, Chen Yi hovered in the air.

He watched the swarms of Demonic Beasts pouring in from all directions, watched the red light flickering on their bodies, and watched the crazy smile on ZERO's face in the distance.

Those Demonic Beasts were dense and covered the sky.

From every corner of the Antarctic continent, from the depths of the ice fields, from the abyssal depths of the sea, from the glacial rifts—

Countless scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness!

Countless rays of red light streaked across the sky like meteors!

They converged from all directions, surrounding Chen Yi in the center!

Forming an airtight cage of death!

ZERO spread his arms and laughed wildly at the sky.

"Chen Yi!"

"You can fight, you can dodge, you can tank!"

"Then, can you withstand the self-destruction of these hundreds of thousands of Demonic Beasts?"

"Roar—"

Tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts let out their final roar simultaneously.

The red light reached its peak, and then—explosion!

The first Demonic Beast self-destructed thirty kilometers away from Chen Yi.

A purple shockwave swept across, space caved in, and seawater evaporated.

Then came the second!

The third!

The tenth!

The hundredth!

The thousandth!

The light of the explosions merged into one, dyeing the sky over the entire Antarctic continent a blinding purple-red!

The light was so bright that two billion people around the world covered their eyes simultaneously!

The sound was so loud that even in Chile and South Africa, thousands of miles away, they could hear the dull roar!

The shockwave was so strong that the ice sheet of the entire Antarctic continent cracked at that very instant!

And Chen Yi was at the very center of the explosion.

Could he really survive?

— Inside Luo Family Manor, all the girls were instantly dumbfounded.

In the mirror, the sky over the Antarctic continent was completely covered by the blinding purple-red light.

The light was so bright that even as it projected through the mirror, it still forced them in the courtyard to squint.

"Th-this is—Brother Chen Yi, he—"

"Such an attack—who could possibly withstand it?"

"Mom! Brother Chen Yi, he won't be hurt, right?"

"This ZERO is so disgusting, actually playing this trick—"

— The scene in the mirror was truly too terrifying.

It could no longer be described as just an explosion.

It was the collapse of heaven and earth!

It was the arrival of the apocalypse!

Emilia stood in the corner of the courtyard, her silver hair fluttering gently in the breeze.

Her expression remained cold, but her slightly trembling fingertips betrayed the turmoil in her heart.

She was a Fourteenth Tier, Tenth Stage existence, having lived for eight thousand years, seen countless battles, and experienced countless life-or-death situations.

But she had never seen an attack of this magnitude!

Hundreds of thousands of Demonic Beasts, self-destructing simultaneously!

The power of each Demonic Beast's self-destruction was enough to level a city!

Tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts self-destructing at once—that was absolutely a power capable of destroying an entire continent!

"Liuli, go—take a look!"

Hua Liuli did not move.

Her hands were tightly clutching the lapels of her clothes, trembling slightly.

For thousands of years, she had never trembled like this.

She wanted to teleport!

She wanted to teleport to Chen Yi's side more than anyone else!

But she couldn't!

Because Lilian had said that Chen Yi would win!

If she teleported over now, what if she interfered with Chen Yi's battle, what if she destroyed that future where he won—she dared not gamble.

But—but that explosion—

Hua Liuli's eyes turned red.

She bit her lip hard, biting until it bled, yet she still forced herself to stand there, forced herself to watch the mirror, forced herself to believe—Chen Yi would definitely win!

The entire place fell into dead silence.

Only the continuous sounds of explosions coming from the mirror echoed in everyone's hearts!

— Over the Antarctic continent.

The light of the explosions merged into one, dyeing the entire sky a blinding purple-red.

Seawater evaporated, space twisted, and even light was completely annihilated in the explosion!

Chen Yi remained motionless, even letting out a cold laugh.

"Is your method just to perish together with me?"

ZERO laughed wildly: "Perish together? Hahaha!"

"The power of these Demonic Beasts also originates from me; they won't cause me any harm at all!"

"Just wait to die!"

As his voice fell, "Boom, boom, boom, boom—"

The most intense wave of self-destruct attacks began!

Hundreds of Tier 11 Beast Kings detonated simultaneously!

Their positions were the closest to Chen Yi!

The terrifying explosive energy surged over crazily!

The purple shockwave tore open pitch-black rifts in space!

Those rifts were instantly filled, torn open, and filled again by the subsequent explosive energy!

The entire sky over the Antarctic continent seemed to have turned into a pot of boiling magma!

Space itself was constantly twisting in the explosions!

In front of the global live broadcast, the audience, which had grown to three billion, held their breath simultaneously!

Their scalps went numb!

"M-my god!"

"Is this really an attack that a human can survive?"

"Chen Yi—is Chen Yi still alive?"

"Can't see! Completely can't see! My damn eyes are going blind!"

"Mom, I'm scared, Chen Yi, my idol, seems like he's going to die—"

"This isn't a battle, this is the apocalypse!"

"Too terrifying! There are so many Demonic Beasts in the world, if ZERO detonates them all, I feel like the whole world is done for! This ZERO, one look and you know he's not a good thing! Go, Chen Yi, destroy ZERO!"

[—]

Countless people screamed at their screens, countless people clasped their hands in prayer, and countless people closed their eyes, not daring to look.

But they couldn't help but open them again!

They wanted to see the result!

They wanted to know if that black-haired young man, the one fighting for them—could truly survive such a terrifying explosion!
