57: Chapter 57 One Slash to Slay the Demon God

...

Earth, Yanjing Base.

The blood-colored array high in the sky had reached its limit, and the firmament seemed to be torn open, revealing a bloody wound.

"Roar—!!"

Accompanied by a terrifying roar that seemed capable of shattering the Soul, a horrific blood shadow thousands of feet tall, covered in sharp bone spikes and dripping with corrosive magma, was gripping the edges of the rift with a pair of giant eyes like two blood moons, struggling to squeeze down from the blood-colored pattern!

Even though only its upper body was exposed, the terrifying pressure belonging to a Second-Order Star King had already caused countless ordinary people in Yanjing Base to faint on the spot, and a large number of hovering cars lost control, crashing down like dumplings into a pot.

Doomsday seemed to be right before their eyes.

Villa No. 186.

In the spacious courtyard, Su Wu, Su Yu, and Xiao Bai, who had transformed into a little fur ball, were all looking up together at the appalling and magnificent sight in the sky.

"Big Brother, something feels off; it looks like it's really tough!" Xiao Bai covered its nose with a small paw, its fur standing on end—an instinctive reaction of a Star Beast to an extremely dangerous creature.

Su Yu, who had just come out of seclusion, also had a solemn expression and clenched his fists: "Dad, this aura... it's countless times stronger than Principal Luo Ting's. Could this be the legendary Star King Realm?"

Su Wu ignored Xiao Bai's remark.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes calm without a single ripple.

In the next second.

Su Wu lightly tapped the tips of his toes.

Shua!

His entire body, as if weightless, slowly floated up toward the sky tens of thousands of meters high.

As he ascended, Su Wu's right hand reached out casually into the Void Realm.

That crimson long saber instantly appeared in his palm.

Su Wu's gaze became incomparably sharp at this moment.

The Star Vortex within his body suddenly accelerated, and the attributes he had just comprehended from the System rewards were instantly mobilized!

First-Order Fire Attribute!

First-Order Lightning Attribute!

Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the blade of the crimson long saber vibrated violently.

A layer of extreme blazing white Source Fire and bolts of purple-black wild lightning as thick as barrels, radiating an aura of destruction, wound tightly around the blade like two roaring true Dragons!

Under the frantic enhancement of these two attributes, a terrifying power erupted from the blade!

"That... that is?!" Principal Luo Ting saw the figure intertwined with lightning and fire.

Su Wu held the lightning-fire long saber high and, without any fancy charging, casually swung a strike at the Demon God Clone that had just poked half its body out of the blood array.

"Slash."

A soft shout, yet it drowned out the roar of heaven and earth.

Crrrack—!!!

A brilliant saber light tens of thousands of meters long, woven from extreme lightning and fire, like the first ray of light at the birth of the Universe, instantly sliced through the oppressive blood-colored sky above Yanjing Base!

The speed of the saber light was so fast that even time seemed to freeze.

That Second-Order Star King Demon God Clone didn't even have time to let out a complete scream; its proud Demon God body was as fragile as a hot knife through butter before the "Fire Burst" and "Lightning Destruction" contained in this strike.

Puchi!

The saber light flashed through the waist of the Demon God Clone without any hindrance!

Under everyone's horrified gazes, that terrifying blood shadow was actually cut in half at the waist by this saber light that spanned heaven and earth!

The upper body instantly vaporized in the violent lightning and fire, while the lower body that had just poked halfway out and the giant blood-colored summoning array shattered inch by inch like broken glass under the dissipating Saber Intent, finally turning into a sky full of blood-colored light rain and completely vanishing between heaven and earth!

One strike, the Demon God fell, and the phenomenon was extinguished!

The entire sky of Yanjing Base returned to its original azure and tranquility within a second, with not a cloud for ten thousand miles.

The sunlight shone down again; if not for the mess all over the ground, everything that just happened would have seemed like an absurd hallucination.

High in the sky.

Principal Luo Ting remained in a looking-up posture, frozen in place as if a binding spell had been cast on him, his mouth wide enough to fit an ostrich egg.

"That overbearing Saber Intent that fused lightning and flames..."

Luo Ting's throat bobbed with difficulty, his mind frantically replaying the scenes from above Jinglin Garden a year ago.

"Could it be... Su Wu?!"

As soon as this thought emerged, Luo Ting himself shuddered.

"But how is that possible!! That's the Star King Realm! A year ago, he had only just stepped into the Fifth-Order Star Lord; how could anyone directly become a Star King within a single year?!"

Luo Ting's worldview suffered a devastating blow at this moment.

While the entire Yanjing Base was still in the dead silence and daze of having survived a disaster.

Half an hour later.

The space above Yanjing Base suddenly distorted without warning, and Lin Feng's slender figure finally arrived at full speed, jumping from the surface of the sun.

Standing high in the air, he closed his eyes, and his powerful Divine Thought instantly swept across the entire base city, capturing the residual energy fluctuations in the air.

Seeing this, Luo Ting immediately flew over like a streak of light, his expression still unable to hide his excitement and shock, as he reported the situation of the "Demon God Descent" and that "Heaven-Shattering Strike" to Lin Feng in full detail.

"Lord Chief Inspector... that power definitely reached the level of the Star King Realm! I suspect it was Su Wu who took action. But..."

Luo Ting swallowed hard and added emphatically, "But it's only been a year since he last acted! One year, from a Fifth-Order Star Lord to a Star King...!"

Lin Feng listened quietly to Luo Ting's report.

Feeling the extremely pure First-Order Fire and Lightning Attribute residues in the air, the handsome face not only lacked any surprise but instead revealed a fanatical smile of "as expected."

"Perhaps it is him."

Lin Feng calmly accepted this inference, which seemed like a fairy tale to ordinary people, and looked toward the direction of Villa No. 186.

"But... this speed is just too..." Luo Ting still wanted to argue.

Lin Feng slowly turned around, his white cloak snapping in the wind.

"Luo Ting, remember this."

"Under this vast starry sky, when you encounter a monster that has truly broken free from the shackles of fate..."

Lin Feng's figure merged into the Void Realm once again, leaving only a sentence echoing in the clouds:

"Nothing is impossible!"
