264: Chapter 264 Even the physical body is no match for desperation?

In mid-air, Cao Kun stood beneath the rolling thunderclouds, his robes fluttering in the wind, his voice booming like a great bell, resounding across heaven and earth:

"Nine Heavens Profound Brake!"

Boom!

The first divine thunderbolt struck down, smashing onto the tip of the chaos divine sword.

The sword body was instantly enveloped in dazzling thunder light.

"Transform into Divine Thunder!"

As Cao Kun uttered his second mantra, thousands of thunderbolts exploded simultaneously within the clouds.

Thousands of lightning serpents converged from all directions, pouring entirely into Cao Kun's body.

A layer of intricate thunder patterns appeared on the surface of his body, and the violent thunder power pushed his Aura to an unprecedented Peak.

Yin Tianzheng watched the anomaly in the sky, and a strong sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart.

The power of thunder, being extremely rigid and Yang, was naturally the nemesis of all evil and filth.

"Playing god! Die for this King!"

Yin Tianzheng dared not wait for Cao Kun to finish gathering his power.

He activated all the Black Mist Origin within his body, and the thousand-zhang demonic shadow opened its abyssal maw, spitting out a black beam of light a hundred zhang in diameter, heading straight for Cao Kun.

Cao Kun looked at the incoming beam of destruction and lowered his eyes slightly.

He raised the chaos divine sword high above his head and slashed forward fiercely.

"Magnificent Heavenly Might, guided by the sword!"

Crack—!!!

A purple-gold thunder pillar, a hundred zhang thick, responded to the guidance of the sword edge and struck down furiously from the Nine Heavens!

The thunder pillar fused perfectly with the Sword Qi of the chaos divine sword, transforming into a giant thunder sword a thousand zhang long.

The giant sword, carrying the might to judge all things, slashed down ferociously.

That arrogant black beam of light, the moment it touched the giant thunder sword, was directly evaporated into nothingness.

The giant thunder sword, its momentum undiminished, struck directly onto the top of the thousand-zhang demonic shadow.

"Ahhh—!!!"

Yin Tianzheng let out a shrill scream.

The power of thunder spread wildly along the body of the demonic shadow.

Those Black Mist Origins, touted as immortal, let out explosive sounds in the face of the magnificent heavenly might of the Thunder Emperors Myriad Laws, being purified and dissolved in large swathes.

The paralyzing attribute unique to lightning conducted to Yin Tianzheng's main body.

The Integration Stage Peak expert was, at this moment, shocked until his whole body was charred black, his limbs stiff, unable to move even a single finger.

"Old dog, how does this electric therapy taste?"

Killing intent surged in Cao Kun's eyes; he gave Yin Tianzheng no chance to catch his breath.

He poured all the Chaos Qi within his body into the chaos divine sword.

"Chaos Unity, all methods are empty!"

Cao Kun aimed at the densest cluster of Black Mist on the demonic shadow's chest and thrust his sword!

The gray Chaos Sword Qi ignored the demonic shadow's remaining defenses and plunged directly into its body.

Although Yin Tianzheng's body was paralyzed, his Divine Sense remained clear.

Before that gray sword light pierced into the demonic shadow's body,

He had already felt the threat of death.

If he were struck by this sword, he would likely be completely shredded!

"No!!!"

"Little beast! You forced this King into this!"

At the critical moment, Yin Tianzheng actually took the initiative to sever the connection between his Primordial Spirit and his Physical Body.

Boom!!!

An Integration Stage Peak expert infinitely close to the Mahayana Stage, willing to self-destruct his Physical Body cultivated for a thousand years—how earth-shattering was that power?!

A blinding blood-colored ball of light exploded in mid-air, and the violent energy shockwave swept out in a ring in all directions.

The space within a hundred miles around collapsed and shattered over a large area, revealing the Void Realm turbulence within.

The Nether Ravine below was razed to the ground, and even the Prodigies watching from afar were blown away for over a hundred miles, vomiting blood.

Cao Kun was also shaken back dozens of zhang by this impact force.

But fortunately, the Paradise Desire Realm Domain behind him, although shaken and flickering,

ultimately succeeded in protecting Empress Yue Chan and the other two women safely, without suffering any substantial harm.

After a while, the sky full of blood mist and dust finally dissipated.

Yin Tianzheng's Physical Body was completely gone.

But the thousand-zhang dharma image behind him did not dissipate with the destruction of his Physical Body; instead, it began to shrink violently.

A massive amount of Black Mist merged with Yin Tianzheng's remaining Primordial Spirit.

In just the blink of an eye,

it condensed into a fist-sized, jet-black polyhedral crystal core.

That crystal core hovered in mid-air.

Just like a heart, it emitted a strange "thump, thump, thump" beating sound.

"Sure enough, it's here."

Cao Kun recognized this thing.

This was exactly the kind of immortal creature core that he had shattered before in Tang City when the remnant soul of the Chaos God Emperor personally appeared to teach him!

Yin Tianzheng self-destructing his Physical Body was not to perish together with Cao Kun, but to preserve this core!

This crystal core was clearly completely different from the King Youtang he had encountered in Tang City before.

The core of King Youtang was lifeless, merely a source of power.

But this crystal core before his eyes was clearly more than just that.

And it even had self-awareness!

It sensed the undisguised killing intent on Cao Kun.

"Woo!"

A piercing shriek erupted from inside the crystal core.

Immediately after, tens of thousands of hideous evil spirits crawled out from within.

They swarmed toward Cao Kun, blotting out the sky.

Cao Kun subconsciously wanted to raise his sword and slash again.

However, as soon as the sword was raised, a sense of emptiness came from within his body.

He had just forcibly activated the Thunder Emperors Myriad Laws to summon the Nine Heavens divine thunder.

And he had also taken the impact of the Integration Stage Peak self-destruction head-on.

The Chaos Qi in his Purple Mansion, which had originally been like an ocean, was now bottomed out.

The Chaos Unity Art was indeed Heaven-Defying, but converting Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi also took time.

Although he still had trump cards,

but facing this army of evil spirits blotting out the sky, fighting head-on was clearly not a wise move.

"Do you really take me for a soft persimmon?"

Cao Kun moved his mind and directly activated the yin-yang dharma robe on his body.

Black and white light swirled, and a Clone with the exact same appearance and Aura as Cao Kun stepped out from the dharma robe.

The Clone, holding a long sword condensed from spiritual power, charged straight into that black ocean of evil spirits.

At the same time.

"Roar!"

The golden cloud crown above his head let out a resounding Dragon roar.

Nine phantom images of five-clawed golden Dragons, hundreds of zhang long, roared out from the golden cloud crown, circling around Cao Kun,

tearing the first few evil spirits that pounced up into pieces.

But Cao Kun did not relax.

He saw it clearly.

Those evil spirits shredded by the golden Dragons and the Clone did not dissipate after crumbling into Black Mist.

Instead, they quickly gathered again in mid-air, reforming into intact evil spirits.

They hissed again, charging forward tirelessly.

Endless to kill.

These evil spirits were all composed of the Origin of immortal creatures.

Ordinary Law power simply could not completely erase them.

To truly shatter that crystal core possessing self-awareness, the only method was to use the chaos divine sword containing the Law of Annihilation.

But now, the Chaos Qi in his body was simply insufficient to support swinging that kill-shot sword.

To avoid unnecessary consumption of spiritual power, Cao Kun decisively withdrew.

He tapped his foot and retreated directly into the Paradise Desire Realm Domain.

Just as he landed, Cao Kun's figure swayed slightly.

Seeing his tired expression, Empress Yue Chan instantly threw her previous earth-shattering jealousy to the Nine Heavens.
