405: Chapter 405 Moonfall - Mutual Destruction

Within the cold, vertical pupils of the Dragon, which reflected endless thunder, not even a ripple stirred.

It merely let out a dragon roar that was even more high-pitched, filled with primordial majesty and a hint of impatience, and its mountain-like dragon body, carrying the peerless power to crush stars, casually flicked its tail—

"Bang!!!!!!"

The moment the Red-Gold Three-Eyed Being's divine spear, which pierced through the Divine Soul, collided with the sweeping dragon tail, it was as if an egg had struck a pillar supporting the sky!

Without even a moment of stalemate, it disintegrated inch by inch amidst a crisp, heartbreaking explosion, shattering into a sky full of tragically beautiful red-gold light spots that fell like tearful rain.

The Red-Gold Three-Eyed Being shuddered violently, as if struck by lightning, and suddenly threw its head back to spit out a large mouthful of blood mixed with golden light particles and fragments of internal organs; its aura, like a punctured balloon, suddenly withered to the bottom.

"Sizzle—Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!!!"

The endless storm of scarlet moon blades completely engulfed a section of the dragon body; billions of moon blades slashed against the dragon scales, erupting with ear-piercing shrieks that set teeth on edge and felt as if they would grind the Soul to dust!

However, the pure Yang and extremely rigid thunder naturally circulating on the surface of the silver-gold dragon scales acted like an eternal, indestructible protective divine barrier.

The scarlet moon blades struck it, but not only could they not leave a single mark, they were instead like dirty snow splashed onto a red-hot iron plate, quickly purified and evaporated amidst the ear-piercing "sizzle" sounds, dissipating into curling, foul-smelling blue smoke.

The Silver-Glow Woman's face was devoid of color, and the light of the blood moon above her head dimmed rapidly, like a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.

"Roar—!!!"

Seemingly provoked into true anger by the continuous harassment of these "specks of dust," the Dragon suddenly opened its massive maw, which seemed capable of devouring the heavens and earth. In its throat, a destructive purple-gold ball of light gathered and compressed at a terrifying speed, its radiance so intense that the space itself twisted, wailed, and nearly shattered!

The next instant, a destructive Dragon breath, over ten zhang in diameter, condensed like liquid purple-gold and glowing with a white light so intense it annihilated all color, surged forth like a torrential flood of thunder from the creation of the world, or a galaxy flowing in reverse, crashing head-on into the roaring, charging Devilish Qi manifestation of the deity!

"No—!!! I... am not reconciled... Ah—!!!"

The Six-Winged Alien let out one final roar, mixed with an ancient language, despair, and endless resentment.

His Devilish Qi manifestation, condensed by burning everything, could not even put up a decent resistance under the onslaught of this pure Yang, extremely rigid, and Law-destroying torrent of Dragon breath; it instantly melted and vaporized like mist under the scorching sun!

The Devilish Qi dissipated, the blood light was annihilated, and the manifestation shattered into the most basic energy particles amidst its wailing.

As for his true form, it had already been sacrificed when the manifestation was condensed, and at this moment, it was completely reduced to ashes, with not even a trace of its existence left, thoroughly purified and erased by the pure Yang thunder.

The first to fall.

It was as fast as a hallucination, and as cruel as to chill one to the bone marrow.

The Red-Gold Three-Eyed Being and the Silver-Glow Woman were terrified to their cores, their Souls trembling in fear!

But the extreme threat of death instead squeezed out the last bit of frantic gambling instinct from the depths of their Souls.

"Moon Fall · Mutual Destruction!!!" The Silver-Glow Woman's face was twisted like a demon due to extreme pain, resentment, and madness.

She no longer hesitated and decisively, proactively detonated the dripping blood-scarlet moon behind her, which was cultivated alongside her life and was actually the core of her power and life!

Rumble—!!!

A terrifying turbulent flow of energy and destructive moonlight Law, impossible to describe in words, suddenly erupted wildly from her as the center after being compressed to the extreme!

The blood moon did not explode but collapsed inward into a destructive singularity that devoured everything, then immediately expanded into a moonlight black hole that twisted light, tore apart Spiritual Qi, and caused even space itself to begin shattering and collapsing!

The black hole, carrying a tragic will of mutual destruction, not only fiercely swallowed and entangled the Dragon's tail and the latter half of its body, creating a violent spatial annihilation effect, but also ruthlessly dragged the Red-Gold Three-Eyed Being, who was just about to flee nearby, into this vortex of death!

She was willing to risk total annihilation of body and Soul, never to be reincarnated, just to drag her "companion" into Hell with her, all for that one in a billion chance of heavily injuring the opponent or creating a sliver of ethereal hope for survival!

"Vixen! How dare you—!!!" The Red-Gold Three-Eyed Being's roar of shock and anger was torn to shreds by the terrifying suction and energy turbulence of the black hole.

At the critical moment of life and death, he no longer had any reservations or hesitation, and a flicker of heartbreaking determination flashed in his eyes—at the location of the already shattered and dim vertical eye on his forehead, he unhesitatingly detonated the remaining Origin and Divine Ability!

"Puchi!"

A cloud of incomparably pure red-gold blood mist, containing his life imprint and the essence of his Divine Soul, exploded and instantly transformed into a solid yet spiderweb-cracked red-gold light shield, barely protecting him.

The light shield trembled violently under the destructive tearing of the black hole, its light flickering rapidly as if it would shatter completely the next second.

Taking advantage of this fleeting moment of respite bought by destroying his innate Foundation, his figure turned into a shrill blood-colored escape light, shooting madly outward regardless of everything, his eyes filled only with boundless resentment and the horror of having survived a disaster.

As for the Dragon, it was restrained by this sudden "moonlight black hole," which condensed all the life and Dao fruits of a Prodigy, and its incomparably massive dragon body slightly faltered.

At the dragon tail, the purple-gold dragon scales clashed fiercely with the destructive force at the edge of the black hole that annihilated everything, erupting with continuous, ear-piercing shrieks that threatened to tear the eardrums and flashes of energy annihilation!

The thunder light that eternally circulated on the scales showed obvious chaos and dimness for the first time, and even a few scales at the edges showed faint, scorched marks!

This final blow, at the cost of total annihilation of body and Soul, was, after all, not without effect.

It caused this seemingly invincible True Dragon of thunder to experience a moment of true hesitation!

The dragon might that crushed everything also experienced a moment of stagnation and fluctuation.

It was just this moment!

In the eyes of the Red-Gold Three-Eyed Being, a fierce light mixed with extreme heartache, ecstasy, and a desperate gamble suddenly burst forth!

He no longer had any attachment, and even with a pain as if severing his Bloodline Legacy, he suddenly crushed the ancient jade pendant he had always kept close to his body—shaped like a vertical eye and flowing with the aura of time and ancestral spirits—at his chest.

This was the last life-saving object left by the ancestors of his lineage, containing a trace of thin but extremely high-ranking ancestral spatial power!

Hum—!!!

A spatial fluctuation that was desolate, ancient, and deathly silent, yet carried an irresistible will to "flee," suddenly erupted!

This force forcefully tore open a spatial rift in this field of Laws, which had been rendered chaotic by the Dragon's might and the moonlight black hole; it was extremely unstable, its edges constantly collapsing and closing, and its interior was dark and deep, as if leading to the Nine Heavens.

The sinister wind of the Void Realm's turbulence blew out from the rift, making one's Divine Soul feel frozen.

He did not even dare, nor did he have the strength, to look back—at the destructive core of the moonlight black hole, the Silver-Glow Woman's graceful body was like a sand sculpture accelerated ten thousand times by time, beginning from her fingertips, turning inch by inch into dust flickering with tragic blood-colored light.

The expression finally frozen on her face was one of monstrous resentment, endless unwillingness, and... a strange calmness after complete, frantic destruction.

"Chu Zhanxiao! Today's humiliation, the hatred of my clan's destruction, I, Chitong, will remember this in my heart! When my clan's army descends in the future, I will slaughter every living being related to you—"

"Your sect, your family and friends, the land beneath your feet! I will extract your Divine Soul and place it in my clan's sacred fire, to be burned for eternity, wailing every day, until the Myriad Heavens and Worlds are extinguished!!!"

A curse of extreme resentment squeezed out from the rapidly shrinking spatial rift, every word soaked with monstrous hatred and madness, as if trying to carve those three words into the Heavenly Dao and Reincarnation, to be cursed for eternity.

The Red-Gold Three-Eyed Being, Chitong, no longer had a shred of the arrogance of a Prodigy of the holy race.

His third holy eye was completely shattered, golden divine blood mixed with broken pupils gushing down, staining his entire face and making it hideous and terrifying, like a demon crawling out from the abyss of Hell.

His Dao Foundation was covered with shocking cracks, crisscrossing and deep to the bottom; the fire of Origin was tottering, flickering, and could be completely extinguished at any moment—

Yet the hatred in his eyes burned more intensely than ever, brighter than the sun, and darker than the abyss!

With his broken vertical eye, his severely damaged Dao Foundation, and the endless hatred engraved into the depths of his Soul that could never be erased, he plunged into that rift leading to an unknown desperate land.

Almost at the same instant he disappeared into the rift!

"Roar—!!!"

A dragon roar that shattered the firmament resounded throughout the Nine Heavens and the earth!

The three thousand worlds trembled in unison at this dragon roar, and billions of living beings looked up at this moment, feeling an inexplicable palpitation!

This hundred-zhang thunder dragon suddenly broke free from the shackles of the moonlight black hole, the thunder light in the sky at this moment becoming dazzling to the extreme, magnificent to the peak, as if it wanted to burn the entire Secret Realm, the entire Void Realm, and the entire world to ashes!

This was the ultimate Profound Truth of thunder, a perfect fusion of destruction and creation!

A dragon claw cast entirely from purple-gold thunder ignored all spatial Laws of the world, ignored Karma and Reincarnation, ignored the shackles of the Heavenly Dao; it arrived late but first, plowing a black rift in the Void Realm so deep that its end could not be seen, and ruthlessly grabbed toward the spatial rift that was about to close completely!

"Puchi—!"

A dull, tooth-aching sound resounded through the Void Realm!

Accompanied by half a shrill scream that stopped abruptly, a scream filled with endless pain and even more intense resentment, it was completely swallowed by the roar of the thunder in an instant, as if it had never existed.

A few drops of holy blood burning with red-gold flames fell from the edge of the rift.

Each drop of blood contained life essence as vast as the sea and a deeply engraved curse; they tumbled and burned in the air, trying to regroup, trying to struggle, trying to emit their final resentment—

However, the next instant, the remaining power of the thunder swept over, like the descent of divine punishment, completely evaporating this final trace into nothingness, leaving only faint golden smoke in the Void Realm, rising curlingly and then slowly dissipating, proving the shocking battle that had just taken place, worthy of being recorded in history.

The spatial rift closed completely, smooth as a mirror, as if it had never been opened.

Between heaven and earth, silence returned.

A deathly silence.

The Dragon slowly retracted its claw; on the tips of the claws that could tear stars and pierce the Void Realm, there remained traces of spatial tearing, as well as a faint, lingering aura of blood and resentment belonging to Chitong.

This trace of aura was still struggling, still twisting, still trying to emit a final curse—but under the continuous burning of the thunder light, it emitted a faint "sizzle" sound and finally turned into nothingness, completely dissipating between heaven and earth.

Chu Zhanxiao's expression remained indifferent, the depths of his eyes as calm as an ancient well, as if he had just casually pinched to death a slightly larger bug, and as if that achievement—which would make any Prodigy change color and cause the Myriad Heavens and Worlds to tremble—was to him but a trivial moment on the path of cultivation, not even worthy of a second glance.

He moved his mind slightly.

This hundred-zhang thunder dragon, with its monstrous power capable of making all races tremble and causing heaven and earth to lose their color, let out a long roar to the sky; the dragon roar actually carried a hint of unprecedented attachment and submission, as if bidding farewell to its sovereign.

The thunder light faded, and the dragon shadow dissipated.

Chu Zhanxiao stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

Behind him, the two figures who had been protected had long been shaken to their Souls, nearly suffocating—what kind of existence was this man before them?
