162: I can't beat them in a fight, and I can't escape them.

On Chen Nian's arms, a dazzling golden divine light suddenly erupted!

The space crack, which had been closing rapidly and even starting to blur at the edges...

Was like a piece of fragile paper, being forcibly torn open again by his unreasonable absolute power!

No! It wasn't just being torn open!

It was being violently and savagely pried apart and expanded to both sides!

"Crack! Crack, crack—!!!"

Space let out an overburdened, heart-palpitating sound of cracking!

That crack was being forced wider and wider!

Chaotic energy arcs flickered at the edges, as if the world's wound was being forcibly enlarged!

Finally, a massive, irregular spatial opening with a diameter of over a hundred meters...

Was brazenly torn into the air by Chen Nian's bare hands!

Behind the opening, it was no longer a blurry phantom, but a clear scene—it was a vast, deep, and viscous pitch-black space!

It looked like a forbidden zone for all light, the final destination of death!

And deep within this pitch-black space!

"Roar—!!!"

"Awoo—!!!"

"Hiss—!!!"

Countless terrifying Demonic Evils with hideous forms, tyrannical Auras, and eyes burning with pure desire for destruction...

Like a swarm of startled locusts, let out deafening roars!

There were so many of them that they practically covered the sky, like a churning black ocean made of monsters!

However, the most heart-palpitating thing was not these Demonic Evils.

But in the deepest part of this black ocean.

An indescribably massive, blurry shadow was slowly writhing!

That shadow seemed to be condensed from the purest darkness and evil; its mere existence emitted a terrifying pressure that withered all things and caused the Soul to freeze!

A pair of enormous pupils burning with ghostly green fire slowly opened in the shadow, staring intently at Chen Nian outside the crack!

That gaze was filled with shock, anger, and... a hint of undisguisable fear stemming from biological instinct!

Clearly, that was the original consciousness of the Evil God!

"Hiss—!!!"

When the people from the Spiritual Energy Bureau saw the scene inside the crack, they collectively gasped, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering in terror!

"What... what exactly is in there?! So many Demonic Evils! More than ten times as many as before!"

"My god! That black shadow... those eyes... is that the Evil God's true body?! Just looking at it, I feel like my Soul is going to be frozen stiff!"

"Too terrifying! This pressure... is countless times stronger than before! What we felt just now was probably just a tiny fraction of its leaked power!"

"What is Special Commissioner Chen trying to do? He actually forcibly opened the Evil God's lair?!"

"Is he planning to charge in on his own initiative?!"

Shock, horror, fear, and disbelief spread among the crowd like a plague.

However, in stark contrast to the terror of the Spiritual Energy Bureau members—

Chen Nian looked at the churning ocean of Demonic Evils inside the crack and the shadow of the Evil God emitting a terrifying Aura.

Instead of any solemnity on his face, he showed an extremely satisfied and joyful smile.

In his eyes, it was as if he saw not an apocalyptic crisis, but endless, glittering points!

"Not bad, really not bad."

Chen Nian smiled contemptuously, his eyes burning.

"To think there were still so many goods hidden away."

"This time, it'll definitely be enough for me to kill to my heart's content!"

His voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

The people from the Spiritual Energy Bureau: "..."

They had become completely numb.

Kill to his heart's content?

At a time like this, that's what's on Special Commissioner Chen's mind?!

Deep in the crack, the massive shadow of the Evil God also seemed to hear Chen Nian's murmur.

Its burning ghostly green pupils flickered violently, conveying an even more obvious sense of fear and alarm!

[ant! You... you dare...!!]

The Evil God's will fluctuated violently, yet it still didn't dare to rush out of the crack. Instead, it commanded the endless army of Demonic Evils:

[Stop him! At all costs! Stop him for me!!!]

With the Evil God's command—

"Roar, roar, roar—!!!"

Inside the crack, the army of Demonic Evils, like a black ocean, instantly rioted!

Like a bursting flood, they let out heaven-shaking roars, carrying a mad Aura that destroyed everything, and launched a desperate charge towards Chen Nian at the entrance of the crack!

The scene was as if Hell had opened its doors and ten thousand demons had swarmed out!

It was enough to make any spiritual energy user collapse instantly!

However, facing this world-destroying tide of demons, Chen Nian only shook his head in disappointment.

"Tsk."

He let out a contemptuous sneer.

"You only know how to send these small fry to their deaths?"

"You, this so-called 'Holy God,' are indeed just a coward who hides away and fears death!"

The moment his words fell, Chen Nian's mind moved.

"Buzz—!!!"

The dazzling golden light swirling around him surged again!

His body slowly rose into the air, hovering before the entrance of the massive crack.

His black hair danced, and his clothes fluttered.

Countless profound golden runes flowed around him unceasingly, emitting a brilliant Divine Might that suppressed the heavens and cleansed all evils!

He was like a supreme God King who had descended to the mortal world to wield heavenly punishment!

"Since you don't dare to come out."

"Then I'll just have to go in and find you!"

Chen Nian looked down at the surging demon tide and the fearful Evil God in the depths, and slowly raised his right hand.

In his palm, endless golden lightning began to frantically gather, condense, and compress!

It emitted destructive energy fluctuations that made the world lose its color!

"Boom—!!!!!"

In the next moment, Chen Nian's arm swung forward violently!

An incredibly powerful, extremely condensed giant Lightning Pillar, as if cast from pure gold, like a roaring lightning Dragon, slammed into the crack!

Wherever the Lightning Pillar passed, space distorted and all things were annihilated!

The Demonic Evils charging at the very front didn't even have time to roar.

Under the Divine Might of the most masculine and powerful lightning, they were instantly vaporized and turned into nothingness!

However, this was only the beginning!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Chen Nian's arm swung repeatedly!

One destructive golden Lightning Pillar after another, like a torrential rain, slammed into the army of Demonic Evils deep within the crack without stopping!

Explosion! Annihilation! Purification!

The golden lightning raged wildly, illuminating that pitch-black Domain of the Evil God like broad daylight!

Countless Demonic Evils vanished in swaths, like snowflakes thrown into a furnace!

[No—!!!]

In the deepest part of the crack, the shadow of the Evil God let out a scream of utter terror!

It could clearly feel its power being rapidly purified and eroded!

The Evil God was completely terrified!

Its massive shadow writhed frantically, trying to escape into the deeper darkness, away from this terrifying star of misfortune!

"You want to run now?"

Chen Nian's gaze turned cold as he locked onto the shadow of the Evil God trying to flee.

"Too late!"

He pointed his fingers like a sword and gestured towards the shadow from afar!

"Swoosh—!!!"

An incredibly condensed Golden Lightning Spear, moving at extreme speed, instantly tore through space and shot with pinpoint accuracy towards the fleeing shadow!

[!!!]

The shadow of the Evil God emitted terrified fluctuations and had no choice but to stop its escape.

It turned back and condensed a sky-covering surge of evil energy, turning it into a powerful and thick Energy Shield in an attempt to block!

"Boom—!!!!"

The Golden Lightning Spear slammed hard against the dark shield!

The power of the most masculine lightning and the extremely feminine and evil energy clashed and annihilated each other frantically!

However, after holding out for less than a breath—

"Crack—!!!"

That seemingly indestructible dark shield exploded!

The shadow of the Evil God let out a painful hiss as a portion of its body dissolved in the lightning!

Its escape was forcibly interrupted, and it had to stop, looking in terror at the figure outside the crack that looked like a god or demon.

Chen Nian slowly withdrew his finger, looking at the shadow of the Evil God that had been forced to stop and whose Aura had withered significantly, a smirk of extreme mockery curling at the corner of his mouth.

He shook his head and said indifferently, in a tone that seemed regretful but was actually full of contempt:

"Can't run away, and can't win in a fight."

"Tell me, besides being capable of incompetent rage and sending small fry to their deaths..."

"What else can you do?"

"Now, it's your turn!"
