497: All things return to nothingness! All things come to an end! This is—annihilation!

"Not good!"

"My Primordial Spirit!!"

"Quick! Work together to break the formation!!! This is a killing trap targeting the Primordial Spirit!"

The five of Gui Ku were no longer sneering greedily!

For the first time, a look of terrified, desperate paleness appeared on their faces!

That invisible Domain covering their bodies was like billions of invisible Soul needles piercing into the barriers of their Sea of Consciousness!

It crazily devoured their demonic thoughts! It shook the Foundation of their Primordial Spirit, which they had cultivated for a thousand years!

Their strength was instantly suppressed to less than half of their Peak state!

They crazily urged the Demonic Essence within their bodies! They burned their blood essence!

Attempting to join forces to strike at the phantom giant sword hanging above their heads, which looked like the executioner's blade of the Heavenly Dao! They wanted to forcefully shake this terrifying Sword Domain that shrouded the world and severed all life!

Boom—!!!

An unprecedented, terrifying energy explosion was brewing at the core of the sword formation!

The combined strike of the five Soul Transformation old devils burning their Origin was powerful enough to make any Peak Soul Transformation cultivator change their expression!

"It is too late."

Yao Delong stood at the eye of the formation, his cold voice devoid of any fluctuation.

His hands, which controlled the killing intent of heaven and earth, suddenly formed an ancient sword Seal so profound that it distorted the vision!

"Lesser Immortal Slaying Sword Formation—"

Divine light blazed in his eyes! Fifty percent of the vast Yuan power stored within the Chaos furnace was instantly extracted and infused into the sword formation!

"Annihilation Sword Light!"

"Activate—!!!"

Hum!!!

The phantom sword shadow hanging high in the sky, condensed from billions of destructive sword auras and formation rule patterns, suddenly erupted with an eternal, undying Divine Might!

A ray of Ultimate Red-Gold radiance—condensed to the extreme, fine as a thread, yet seemingly containing all the ending killing intent of the Universe since the creation of the world—fell violently from the sword tip!

Wherever it passed! Space silently annihilated! The river of time seemed to be severed for an instant! All rules!

All matter! All energy! In front of this ray of sword light, all lost their meaning of existence!

Only extinction! Only returning to the Origin of nothingness!

This sword! Slays gods! Extinguishes devils! Returns all laws to the Void! The end of all things! This is—Annihilation!!!

"Ah!!! Block it!!!" "My Physical Body!!!"

The five of Gui Ku let out the most shrill and desperate roars of their lives!

They burned their essence regardless of the cost! Pushing their protective demonic treasures to the limit! Manshan offered up a heavy demonic armor as thick as a mountain!

Blood Vulture turned into a blood shadow, attempting to flee the trajectory! Gui Ku even instantly burned hundreds of years of refined demonic seeds! Summoning a grayish-white shield condensed from billions of resentful Soul skeletons to block in front of him!

Yin Mei and Iron Corpse also unleashed their life-saving forbidden techniques!

Sss—

The Annihilation sword light lightly pierced through the demonic armor!

Pierced through the blood shadow!

Pierced through the skeletal resentful Soul shield!

Like a red-hot needle cutting into congealed lard!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Five dull, viscous, and substantial explosions almost merged into one!

Like several giant ceramic dolls being smashed into powder simultaneously by an invisible giant hammer!

Flesh! Bones! Scales! And even the defensive demonic artifacts they relied on for survival!

Like inferior rubble stacks being forcibly destroyed! Under the extremely condensed Annihilation sword aura, they disintegrated inch by inch!

Turning into billions of pitch-black powder mixed with thick Devilish Qi! Instantly swept away by the aftermath of the space annihilation!

In place! Only five clusters of Primordial Spirit essences remained, flickering crazily and emitting monstrous resentment, unwillingness, and bone-deep fear!

That was the essence of the Soul Transformation old devils' entire cultivation!

Attempting to use their instantly burst Soul Power to tear open the space barrier heavily injured by the Annihilation Sword Intent and escape!

"Humph! Want to leave?"

Yao Delong snorted coldly, like a Dominator controlling destiny!

He didn't even look at the powder traces of the corpses clearing the ground, just reached out and grabbed the void casually!

Hum!

The energy rules of heaven and earth were drawn by him as if by his command!

A giant palm covering the sky, purely condensed from the source power of heaven and earth, covered with ancient Chaos runes, and emitting magnificent Divine Might!

Instantly took shape! Five fingers splayed!

"—Collect!"

Chaos dark light swept from the palm! The five terrified, shrilly roaring demonic Soul essences, like five struggling fireflies, crashed into a cosmic black hole!

Were violently gripped by that unbreakable giant palm! Tightly sealed!

Then a flash of light, along with the giant palm, instantly submerged into an archaic black jade bottle hanging at Yao Delong's waist and disappeared!

The battlefield—completely dead silent!!!

From Yao Delong stepping out to summon the sword!

To the God Slaying Extinction Domain clearing the field!

Then to the Annihilation sword light appearing! The five devils' bodies shattered!

Finally collecting the Souls!

The whole process was smooth and fluid! It took no more than three blinks of an eye!

Thump...

Elder Meng Ya had just picked up the seventh-grade Treasure Pill, not yet having time to put it into his mouth, when his knees went soft, and he knelt straight to the ground!

Not because of his injuries, but because he was completely shocked and crushed by the terrifying power before him that was overwhelming and overturned his thousand years of cognition!

All the surviving Moyang Sect Disciples behind him, including those Nascent Soul experts, were like puppets whose Divine Souls had been extracted!

Staring blankly at the land that had just been occupied by hundreds of ferocious demonic troops, but was now so empty that only stiff corpses and Devilish Qi dust drifting in the wind remained!

Dead... all dead... hundreds of Golden Core and Nascent Soul... five Soul Transformation old devils who had dominated the Northwest for over a hundred years...

Both Physical Body and Primordial Spirit... vanished into ashes?!

One sword formation?! Within a few breaths?!

Pfft! Pfft!

Weak ripples appeared in the space not far away, like water marks seeping out from the Void.

The figures of the Night Hawk Captain and his four team members staggered into view!

Their breath was somewhat disordered, clearly the forced activation of the last Void-Stepping Talisman had caused great consumption!

The Night Hawk Captain stared fixedly at the figure wrapped in Chaos aura still suspended in mid-air, his Adam's apple rolled violently, and finally he squeezed out only four words, carrying endless awe and a trace of chill from the depths of his Soul:

"...Divine Might... like a prison!"

It was a nightmarish feeling of witnessing a legendary myth descend with his own eyes!

The target he had just wanted to "protect" as a guardian... now thinking about it seemed like a huge joke!

If they were to face this Extinction sword light, they would likely be no better than those five old devils!

Just at this moment, Yao Delong's suspended figure swayed violently!

A trace of almost imperceptible paleness flashed across his face instantly!

That seemingly boundless and domineering strike just now directly mobilized a wisp of the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent of the Lesser Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, which was still a considerable burden for the profound Yuan power and Divine Thought of his current Mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivation!

He did not hesitate, and with a flip of his hand, a restorative Treasure Pill, radiant and shimmering with pill vapor like rising mist, appeared in his hand!

Without looking, he flicked his finger and popped the Treasure Pill into his mouth!

The vast and gentle medicinal power instantly melted like a warm current from a stellar core, replenishing the nearly dried-up Yuan power rivers and the faintly stinging Divine Soul!

The one who sobered up the fastest was actually Elder Meng Ya, who had just been nearly collapsed!

He suddenly flipped up from the ground, tightly clutching the seventh-grade Spirit Pill in his hand, not caring to take it, staggered to the area below Yao Delong, and with a thump, knelt on one knee!

The voice carried a cracked hoarseness and an unprecedented, profound awe:

"Master Yao! Meng Ya, on behalf of all surviving Disciples and members of the Moyang Sect! Kowtows in gratitude... for the grace of rebirth!!!"
