147: Chapter 147 Frenzied Slaughter! The Moonlit Realm is Born!
...
Qin Daofan and Qin Xiner looked toward the center of the wilderness.
At that moment, the center of the wilderness had already transformed into a bloody hellscape. Several clouds of freshly dispersed blood mist still hung in the air. Those trial participants, who had once been so spirited and confident, had been crushed into the purest spiritual energy by Luo Huang's Heavenly Light divine power without even a chance to scream, effortlessly absorbed by him.
Now, this one-sided slaughter was far from over!
A figure drenched in blood was frantically channeling spiritual energy, engaging in a final, desperate struggle for survival against Luo Huang.
The sound of colliding divine light was deafening. With each clash, the man would cough up a mouthful of blood, his spiritual energy thrown into complete disarray. Dense wounds covered his entire body; he was already at the end of his rope.
Qin Xiner's pupils contracted sharply. For some reason, that figure gave her a strange sense of familiarity. Suppressing the fear in her heart, she focused her gaze. Her face instantly turned deathly pale.
It was Yang Xiao!
Since the Fengtian God and the Tianjun God were on familiar terms,
Qin Xiner had met him a few times in the Kaiyang Divine Territory.
And now, that Tianjun God, who held a not-insignificant status in the Kaiyang Divine Territory, was struggling desperately like a stray dog...
His robes were torn, his divine bones fractured, one arm hung unnaturally twisted at his side, and his aura was so faint it seemed on the verge of extinguishing at any moment.
Every attack he launched fell upon Luo Huang like a stone sinking into the sea, effortlessly crushed by that indifferent layer of Heavenly Light.
"Luo Huang! You're just relying on your superior cultivation to bully others! Have the guts to fight me fairly!"
Yang Xiao roared, his voice hoarse and broken, yet a desperate ferocity burned in the depths of his eyes.
Luo Huang merely stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his robes unstained by a single drop of blood. His peerlessly handsome face showed not a ripple of emotion, as if he were dealing with a bothersome mosquito.
"Fair?"
He let out a light, derisive snort, his tone so indifferent it chilled the heart,
"In the Moon Radiance Secret Realm, the strong live and the weak die. That is the only fairness."
As his words fell, Luo Huang finally, slowly, raised a single finger.
Brilliant golden Heavenly Light coalesced at his fingertip. It held no earth-shattering, heaven-overturning power, yet it caused the entire space to solidify.
Yang Xiao's expression changed drastically. For the first time, bone-chilling fear flooded his eyes. He mustered the last of his strength to try and dodge, only to find himself completely locked down by divine power, unable to move even a finger.
If this strike landed, he would undoubtedly die.
Hidden behind the scattered rocks, Qin Xiner felt her entire body turn ice-cold. She desperately covered her mouth to stifle any cry. Her heart felt as if squeezed by an invisible hand, making even breathing difficult.
She watched helplessly as a familiar person teetered on the brink of death, yet lacked the courage to take even a single step forward.
Qin Daofan's face was ashen. His aged hand pressed down hard on Qin Xiner's shoulder. In a voice only the two of them could hear, trembling yet fierce, he growled:
"Don't make a sound! Don't move! Yang Xiao is finished. If we are exposed, our fate will be even worse than his!"
And then, in the instant before annihilating Yang Xiao, Luo Huang's gaze swept toward their hiding place.
Just that faint glance plunged the two of them into an icy abyss, their very souls trembling!
"We're finished!"
...
In the center of the wilderness, the brilliant golden Heavenly Light descended like a sword of judgment!
Yang Xiao's final roar was abruptly cut off. His body, along with his not-yet-dispersed soul, instantly disintegrated into a cloud of blood mist under that peerless divine power, not even a wisp of remnant soul left behind.
The spiritual energy and life essence, concentrated to the extreme, were swept up by the divine light surrounding Luo Huang and completely absorbed into his body.
The next moment—
BOOM——!!
An aura, far more violent and terrifying—ten times, a hundred times more so than before—suddenly erupted from within Luo Huang!
The heavens and earth changed color. The secret realm's sky faintly rumbled with thunderous roars. The spiritual energy of the entire wilderness madly reversed its flow, forming a massive, visible vortex that poured into his body.
The Heavenly Light surrounding him was no longer a gentle gold. It transformed into a terrifying divine radiance, blazing white like the scorching sun, majestic like the Heavenly Dao itself. His aura surged wildly, shattering shackles, trampling boundaries, soaring straight toward a terrifying realm that even Qin Daofan could only look up to in awe!
Yuehuang Realm!
