425: Chapter 425 Tearing Apart Divine Punishment! He grabbed the goddess by the neck.

Xu Chen's aggressive and mocking laughter echoed for a long time outside the Nine Heavens.

High above in the firmament, within Shen Xi's dark golden eyes that had remained ripples-free for eons, a faint, almost imperceptible cold killing intent finally flashed.

Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions did not mean a lack of judgment.

The filth and offense in the words of the ant-like being below had seriously touched the bottom line of the Heavenly Temple's operation. Such a variable outside the rules could only be completely erased from the long river of time to demonstrate the majesty of the Heavenly Dao.

"Profaning Heavenly Majesty leads to eternal damnation."

Shen Xi's two bloodless, perfect thin lips opened slightly, spitting out eight cold syllables.

The golden divine decree floating beside her erupted with a brilliant divine light that blinded everyone.

Immediately after, from the massive crack above the Nine Heavens came a terrifying roar like hundreds of millions of ancient Vicious Beasts roaring simultaneously. The sky, which had already turned blood-red, was now shrouded by a thick, ink-like tribulation cloud.

This was no ordinary lightning from a Cultivator Undergoing Tribulation.

This was the "World-Destroying Chaos Divine Lightning" used by the Heavens specifically to cleanse eras and obliterate Great Emperors.

Every bolt of lightning was a deep dark purple. The bucket-thick lightning pillars were like destructive mad Dragons with independent consciousness, wildly rolling and intertwining within the clouds.

Just a trace of pressure leaking from the formation of the tribulation cloud caused several Void Star Veins on the Ancient Starry Path below to collapse on the spot.

Those Holy Lords of Ten Thousand Realms prostrating on the ground were so terrified that even their breathing stopped. They desperately buried their heads in the blood-water, fearing they might be tainted by even a tiny bit of Karma.

"Fall."

Shen Xi raised a crystal-clear jade finger and pointed lightly toward Xu Chen's position.

In an instant, thousands of bolts of Chaos Divine Lightning tore through the Void Realm, like a torrential downpour of lightning, crashing down toward the top of Xu Chen's head with a terrifying momentum that could destroy everything and annihilate all life.

The lightning illuminated the entire Central State.

"Hahahaha! Come at me!"

Xu Chen laughed wildly at the sky, his laughter filled with a madness that treated the world's heroes as nothing.

He bent his legs slightly and stomped hard on the ground.

"Boom!"

The entire highest Star Observation Platform, paved with Immortal Gold, instantly turned to dust. Xu Chen himself was like a reverse-flying meteor, charging up into the Nine Heavens against the falling Chaos Divine Lightning.

While in mid-air, the blood and Qi within Xu Chen's body boiled and surged like a vast ocean.

Hongmeng Creation Origin Body, fully activated!

Deep and mysterious purple air currents surged from his limbs and bones, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into a set of purple-gold armor flowing with Dao runes, perfectly wrapping his tall and straight body.

The first bolt of Chaos Divine Lightning struck Xu Chen's chest hard.

There was no expected tragedy of flesh and blood flying everywhere.

That divine lightning, which could instantly turn even a Quasi-Emperor to ash, actually let out a wail like a living being the moment it touched the purple-gold armor.

The Heaven-Defying property of Hongmeng Purple Qi—"impervious to all Spells and inclusive of all things"—directly neutralized the Law of destruction contained within the divine lightning into nothingness.

"Heavenly Dao Divine Lightning? With just this much power, are you scratching an itch for this Emperor?!"

Facing the sky full of lightning waterfalls, Xu Chen not only didn't slow down but instead charged faster and faster.

Those densely packed falling lightning pillars struck his shoulders, back, and limbs, but aside from sparking large bursts of brilliant sparks, they couldn't hinder his ascent in the slightest.

This scene left his beautiful wives, who were hiding under the protection of the purple canopy below, with eyes full of wonder.

Su Qingge tightly gripped the edge of her cloak, her eyes full of obsession.

Luo Hongyi excitedly licked her red lips; her man's unreasonable posture was still so alluring.

Above the Nine Heavens.

Shen Xi looked at the dark-clothed figure charging up as if through an uninhabited land, resisting the world-destroying divine punishment, and a rare trace of astonishment flashed in her dark golden eyes.

How could a Mortal body ignore the Heavenly Dao's lightning punishment?

"Form ranks, slay the evil."

Shen Xi coldly gave the command.

The phantoms of thousands of Silver-Armored Divine Generals guarding in front of her let out a world-shaking war cry together. They leveled their Dagger-Axes inscribed with the Law of slaughter and turned into a silver steel torrent, diving toward the charging Xu Chen.

"A bunch of remnant souls who have been dead for who knows how many eras dare to block this Emperor's path? Get lost!"

Looking at the charging divine generals, a fierce light flared in Xu Chen's eyes.

Xu Chen clenched his right fist, and the majestic spiritual energy of a Great Emperor Peak gathered entirely on his right arm. Accompanied by a high-pitched Dragon roar reaching the clouds, a lifelike purple-gold divine Dragon phantom coiled around his fist.

True Dragon Treasure Technique, combined with pure Physical Body strength, unleashed a savage punch.

Wherever the fist wind passed, the Void Realm shattered inch by inch like fragile glass.

The hundreds of Silver-Armored Divine Generals at the very front didn't even touch Xu Chen's clothes before being hit head-on by this overwhelming and terrifying fist force.

"Bang bang bang bang—"

Dense explosions resounded in the clouds.

Those ancient divine armors, claimed to be indestructible, were as fragile as paper under Xu Chen's iron fist. Hundreds of divine generals, along with the Dagger-Axes in their hands, were instantly crushed into a sky full of light specks by the violent force, dissipating between heaven and earth.

Xu Chen was like a primeval Vicious Beast, forcefully tearing a blood-path through this Heavenly Dao vanguard.

No one could stop his footsteps.

In just a few breaths, Xu Chen had pierced through the thick blood-colored clouds and was only a hundred feet away from the high-and-mighty goddess.

Shen Xi could finally no longer maintain her high-and-mighty composure.

She sensed a strange aura from Xu Chen that was completely unsuppressed by the Heavenly Dao.

This Heavenly Arbiter frowned slightly, her hands quickly forming an ancient seal in front of her chest.

"Absolute Decree: Airspace Forbidden, Deprivation."

A visible transparent ripple centered on Shen Xi and spread out in all directions.

In the range covered by this ripple, all the Laws of the Dao were forcibly drained. Any Great Emperor at this moment would instantly lose the ability to fly, and the spiritual energy in their body would be suppressed to death.

This was an absolute privilege belonging to the managers of the Heavenly Dao.

Unfortunately, she met Xu Chen today.

Xu Chen looked at the spreading transparent ripple, a mocking sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Talking about rules with this Emperor? In this Universe, my word is the rule!"

A massive black hole so deep it could even swallow light suddenly appeared behind him.

Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art operated frantically.

The Heavenly Dao decree that attempted to deprive Xu Chen of his spiritual energy, the moment it touched the black hole, was like a clay ox entering the sea. Not only did it not have any suppressing effect, but it was also entirely absorbed by the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art, turning into a surging blood and Qi tonic within Xu Chen's body.

"What?!"

This time, Shen Xi was truly shocked.

Her dark golden eyes widened slightly, and for the first time, a fluctuation of human emotion appeared on her perfect face, which usually lacked any earthly touch.

And in that moment of her astonishment.

Xu Chen had already closed in, crossing the final distance and rushing directly in front of her.

The distance between the two was close at hand.

Xu Chen could even clearly smell the peculiar faint fragrance with a hint of ice and snow coming from this goddess.

"I said I would drag you down from the sky and teach you what rules are."

Xu Chen's somewhat wicked laughter rang in Shen Xi's ear.

Alarm bells rang in Shen Xi's heart, and she instinctively wanted to mobilize the Law of Space to pull away.

It was too late.

Like a Mortal thug fighting on the street, Xu Chen's left hand suddenly shot out, and with a speed too fast for the naked eye to catch, he grabbed Shen Xi's long, snow-white jade neck.

At the point of contact, the skin was cold and smooth, like the finest mutton-fat jade.

But Xu Chen's fingers were like iron pincers, death-gripping the throat of this deity without the slightest bit of mercy for her beauty.

"Ugh—"

Shen Xi's pupils contracted sharply, and a look of unbelievable terror spread from the depths of her eyes.

As an Incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, she had been high in the Nine Heavens since her birth. When had she ever been touched so crudely and closely?

The sharp pain and feeling of suffocation coming from her throat were physiological reactions she had never experienced in her long years.

The fear of having her life and death controlled by someone with absolute power, as if her neck bone would be crushed at any moment, instantly shattered her solid shell called "Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions."

"Presump...tuous..."

Shen Xi struggled to squeeze out two words from her throat, her hands instinctively grabbing Xu Chen's iron-cast arm, trying to pry away the large hand gripping her neck.

But how terrifying was the Physical Body strength of a Great Emperor Peak Hongmeng Origin Body?

No matter how Shen Xi struggled, that large hand remained motionless.

"You think this is presumptuous? The more presumptuous part is still to come."

Looking at the goddess whose cheeks were slightly flushed from his grip and who could no longer maintain her cold posture, the desire for conquest in Xu Chen's eyes grew more intense.

His right hand shot out like lightning, grabbing the golden divine decree floating beside Shen Xi.

"Rip!"

That World-Destroying Divine Decree, which represented the highest will of the Heavenly Dao and was enough to make the Holy Lords of Ten Thousand Realms kowtow and beg for mercy, was casually crumpled into a ball in Xu Chen's hand like a piece of scrap paper.

"A piece of scrap paper dares to claim to obliterate my entire Xu Family?"

Xu Chen casually stuffed the crumpled paper into his Storage Ring as a trophy delivered to his door.

Then, his purple-gold eyes stared fixedly at Shen Xi, whom he was holding mid-air with one hand. The smile at the corner of his mouth revealed a chilling wickedness and dominance.

"A deity, are you? An arbiter, are you?"

"Get down to the Mortal world for me!"

Xu Chen roared, and his left hand gripping Shen Xi's neck suddenly exerted force.

He didn't give this proud goddess any more chances to perform Heavenly Dao Spells. His whole being was like a falling meteorite, carrying an unrivaled downward momentum.

And so, under the horrified gazes of the heroes of the Ten Thousand Realms.

With one hand gripping the neck of that unattainable Heavenly Goddess.

He forcefully tore through the thick blood-colored tribulation clouds, dragging her all the way from above the Nine Heavens clouds down to the Xu Family below with incomparable brutality!
