842: Chapter 843 The Destruction of the Black Abyss Realm
Gu Changge looked down at the Progenitor of the Black Abyss, who lay limp at his feet.
This once-insufferably arrogant dark overlord was now curled up in the Chaos Void, clutching his head tightly with both hands, his body spasming and trembling uncontrollably.
The aftereffects of the soul search were rampaging through his body. The agony of having his Divine Soul forcibly searched left him without even the strength to stand up.
He struggled to lift his head, his turbid eyes filled with terror and entreaty. His lips quivered as if he wanted to say something, but he could not even utter a complete sentence.
Gu Changge cast a flat glance at him, raising his hand to make a pressing motion, completely sealing and putting away the Progenitor of the Black Abyss's remaining cultivation and Divine Soul.
Then, he turned around and looked toward the collapsing Black Abyss Realm in the distance.
The battle over there was still ongoing.
With a shift of his body, Gu Changge calmly retraced his steps, landing back in his original position at the front of the coalition's formation.
His aura was completely restrained, making it look as though he had merely been quietly watching the battle from beginning to end.
Meanwhile, in the Chaos Void, the battle between Daoist Purple Bamboo and You Sha and Ming Huang had reached a fever pitch.
You Sha and Ming Huang grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.
The two of them had joined forces, and their cultivations were a full two minor Realms higher than their opponent's, which should have made it a crushing victory.
Yet after fighting for so long, not only had they failed to defeat him, but they were also being firmly suppressed by his Sword Intent, hindered at every turn.
Daoist Purple Bamboo's swordplay had reached the Realm of returning to simplicity; every strike seemed ordinary, yet each could precisely slice through their offensives and aim directly for their vitals.
Even more terrifyingly, his Sword Intent contained a vast and upright Dao Rhyme that naturally countered their dark Demonic Techniques, preventing them from exerting even seventy percent of their full strength.
"We can't drag this out any longer!"
You Sha gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
He abruptly retreated several steps and formed hand seals. The Devilish Qi around his body burned frantically, transforming into a pitch-black flame giant that lunged violently toward Daoist Purple Bamboo!
This was his trump card, the Soul-Burning Demonic Flame, which traded the burning of his own Origin for a brief burst of explosive power.
Ming Huang seeing this, held back no longer. He roared toward the sky, his body suddenly expanding several times over to transform into a colossal demonic ape that towered between heaven and earth, his fists smashing down toward Daoist Purple Bamboo like meteors!
The simultaneous, full-strength outbursts of two great Heaven-Reaching Realm Sixth Heaven powerhouses possessed a terrifying might, turning the Chaos Void for hundreds of millions of miles around completely upside down.
Facing this overwhelming onslaught, Daoist Purple Bamboo slowly closed his eyes.
He took a deep breath, and the longsword in his hand trembled gently.
Upon the sword's blade, the ancient patterns suddenly lit up, bursting with hundreds of millions of golden rays of light.
At this moment, his aura underwent a subtle change, shifting from a sharp, exposed edge to a state of transcendence that both encompassed and rose above all things.
"This strike is one I have brewed for millions of years."
He opened his eyes, his gaze as calm as water.
"Its name is—Dao Severing."
As his voice fell, he swung his sword.
An extremely faint golden line swept silently across the void.
The golden line bypassed You Sha's flame giant, cut through Ming Huang's demonic ape avatar, and sliced across the Chaos Void behind them, extending all the way to the end of their vision before slowly dissipating.
You Sha and Ming Huang's movements froze simultaneously.
They looked down at their own bodies, then looked up at Daoist Purple Bamboo in the distance, their mouths agape as if they wanted to say something.
Then, their bodies began to slowly slide apart along a straight, thin line.
Their upper and lower halves separated smoothly.
The cuts were clean and smooth, without a single drop of blood flowing, for all their lifeforce had been utterly severed by that single strike.
Just like that, two overlords of the Heaven-Reaching Realm Sixth Heaven had fallen.
Daoist Purple Bamboo sheathed his sword, his robes fluttering gently in the chaotic currents.
He looked down at his palm, where a faint bloodstain had appeared—the backlash from forcibly unleashing that strike just now.
But he did not care.
He raised his head and looked toward the collapsing Black Abyss Realm in the distance, his gaze deep.
Both of their top combatants had been executed.
The remnants of the Black Abyss army beneath the Realm wall were already low on morale; seeing their last two pillars of support fall, their military spirit completely collapsed.
No one dared to fight to the death anymore. The demonic soldiers who had still been putting up a last-ditch resistance turned around one after another, fleeing frantically toward the interior of the Black Abyss Realm, wanting only to escape back to their homeland to seek a sliver of survival.
"Want to retreat to your nest?"
Within the Immortal Domain Coalition, a general shouted sternly, and countless immortal soldiers, their Battle Intent soaring, were about to give hot pursuit.
Right at this moment, the rumbling of the earth suddenly resounded from ahead!
Rumble—!!
The entire Black Abyss Realm shook violently, and the world barrier, already riddled with cracks, began to collapse on a massive scale.
Bottomless chasms crisscrossed one another, and the violent, turbulent currents of the Origin spewed out from deep underground as a black storm swept through the entire world.
Pieces of the Realm's body fell off one by one, and massive continental plates detached from the main body, tumbling and shattering within the chaotic currents.
Having its last trace of Origin drained by the Progenitor of the Black Abyss, this once-colossal world had finally met its end.
The terrifying storm of the world's collapse expanded outward; wherever it passed, space was crushed, and energy went wild.
Even powerhouses of the Immortal Sovereign or Immortal Venerable level would be instantly turned to dust if they were swept into it.
The fleeing remnants of the Black Abyss rushed to the breaches in the Realm wall, and seeing the apocalyptic scene before them, their faces instantly turned ashen.
Before them lay the collapsing world storm, and behind them was the murderous Immortal Domain Coalition; they were completely trapped in a desperate situation.
The collapsing torrent spread outward at high speed, seemingly about to reach the positions of both opposing sides.
"Protect the entire army!"
The Heavenly Emperor of Taichu called out a high-pitched warning, and a crowd of veteran Heavenly Emperors mobilized their power in unison, intending to join forces to construct a defense.
In the next instant, two figures stepped forward simultaneously.
Gu Changge and Daoist Purple Bamboo stood on the left and right, each raising a hand.
Grandmist divine light flowed around Gu Changge's body, and a boundless wall of light spanned across the Chaos.
Daoist Purple Bamboo spread his sword rhyme, and golden Dao patterns interwove to form a second barrier.
The two layers of defense stacked upon each other, firmly blocking the raging world storm on the outside.
Violent impact sounds rang out continuously as the destructive force generated by the collapse of the Black Abyss frantically slammed against the defensive barriers. Yet the two barriers remained as steady as Mount Tai, without the slightest tremor.
The fleeing remnants of the Black Abyss were completely trapped within the collapsing zone; with the world-destroying storm ahead and the Immortal Domain Coalition behind, every direction was a dead end.
Wild winds whipped up the continental debris, and the turbulent currents of the Origin swallowed everything.
The Black Abyss army, numbering in the hundreds of millions, did not even have a chance to struggle before being swept into the collapsing torrent of the world.
Shrill, miserable screams rose and fell, only to be quickly and completely drowned out by the roaring rumbles.
The entire Black Abyss Realm continued to disintegrate, fracturing, collapsing, and dissolving step by step from the main continent to the peripheral domains.
The massive world that had once dominated its region, along with all its remaining living beings, buildings, and ancient lands, was entirely swallowed by Chaos.
Several hours later, the rumbling gradually subsided, leaving only a vast expanse of floating continental debris in its place!
