163: There is something, but not much.

The Evil God's originally surging and terrifying fel energy, which was enough to change the color of the heavens and earth...

Had now become dim and thin, like a candle flickering in the wind, unstable and fading.

Those giant pupils, burning with eerie green ghost fire, stared fixedly at Chen Nian outside the rift.

Within them, the initial indifference, majesty, and rage had long since vanished.

Only the purest, bone-deep fear and horror remained!

He didn't even dare to make another sound or utter another threat.

In His mind, only one thought remained—

Don't move! Whatever happens, don't move! I cannot provoke this monster anymore!

At this moment, He was like a rabbit cornered by a fierce tiger.

Even His breathing was cautious, for fear that any slight movement would draw that destructive attack!

Outside the rift, the members of the Spiritual Energy Bureau watched that once-domineering Evil God now showing such a humble and terrified posture; the shock in their hearts had reached its peak.

"My god... that legendary Evil God... is actually afraid?!"

"He seems so scared that He doesn't even dare to move. Is this really the legendary Evil God?"

"Special Commissioner Chen, isn't he a bit too strong?!"

"Tearing through space with bare hands, forcing an Evil God to stay motionless... this is a scene that only appears in myths and legends!"

Exclamations and gasps rose and fell one after another.

Everyone's face was written with unbelievable horror and awe.

However, Chen Nian, at the center of the storm, turned a deaf ear to the Evil God's humble fear and the crowd's shock.

He floated in the air, golden divine light flowing around him like a descending deity.

He sized up the withered, trembling shadow of the Evil God within the rift.

The corner of his mouth curled into a playful arc, as if he had discovered some interesting new toy.

"Oh?"

He let out a light sound of surprise, his tone carrying a hint of playful astonishment.

"You actually managed to barely block my strike just now?"

"It seems your so-called 'Holy God' title isn't entirely hollow; you do indeed have something."

"But, that's all it is."

"You have something, but not much."

Hearing Chen Nian's highly insulting evaluation...

The Evil God no longer felt His previous anger. A trace of humiliation flashed through His eerie green pupils, but the dominant emotion was still fear.

His grand yet slightly trembling voice rang out once again deep within everyone's Souls.

This time, not a shred of majesty could be heard in His tone; only endless compromise and awe remained:

[Human...]

[It was I... it was I who was blind and offended your Divine Might...]

[But all of this was the self-assertion of those lowly servants. They bewitched me, and they drew your wrath...]

[I... I did not intend to be your enemy... I actually harbor no malice...]

His voice was intermittent, filled with panicked and urgent excuses.

He tried to shift all responsibility onto those cultists who had already turned to ash.

[Now they are all dead, getting what they deserved. I will no longer have any conflict with you...]

[Can we both take a step back?]

[If you leave my Domain, I guarantee I will never set foot in this realm again, and I will never be an enemy to you or the world you protect...]

[Let us stop here, how about it?]

These words were humble to the extreme, almost equivalent to begging for mercy.

An ancient and powerful Evil God was now willing to be so subservient and even betray His dead followers just to survive.

The people from the Spiritual Energy Bureau were dumbfounded, their worldviews suffering an unprecedented shock.

However, after hearing this "sincere" proposal for peace, Chen Nian couldn't help but chuckle.

The mockery and disdain in that laughter were so thick they almost overflowed.

"Both take a step back? Stop here?"

He shook his head, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

"What kind of thing are you to be worthy of negotiating terms with me?"

"From the moment you dared to plot against me, your end was already decided."

"I refuse!"

The final two words were decisive and cold-blooded, completely pronouncing the Evil God's death sentence!

The moment the words fell—

Chen Nian didn't give the Evil God any chance to react!

His attack erupted without warning!

Zero-frame startup! Nether Shock!

“Buzz—!!!”

An invisible yet vast and boundless eerie green energy, containing the aura of annihilation and silence, instantly tore through space and slammed toward the Evil God's shadow within the rift!

Fast! Extremely fast!

The pupils of the Evil God's shadow suddenly constricted!

[You—!!!]

He only had time to send out a wave of utter terror!

In his haste, He desperately mobilized all His remaining fel energy to frantically condense an incredibly thick dark shield in front of Him!

Countless vengeful Souls wailed and twisted on the surface of the shield, emitting a desperate defensive power!

“Boom—!!!!!”

The Nether Shock slammed solidly onto the dark shield!

The destructive eerie green energy and the supremely evil dark shield frantically clashed, eroded, and annihilated each other!

However, after a stalemate of less than a breath—

“Crack—!!!”

The hastily condensed dark shield couldn't even last a second before it burst apart, turning into black light spots that scattered across the sky!

The aftershocks of the Nether Shock slammed hard into the Evil God's shadow itself!

“Awoo—!!!”

The Evil God let out an incredibly painful cry. His shadow-like body twisted violently as large swaths of dark energy were forcibly annihilated and purified!

His aura instantly plummeted again, becoming even weaker!

[Wh... Why?!]

The Evil God's will was filled with incomprehensible shock, anger, and collapse!

[I have already yielded so much! Why must you still drive me to a dead end?!]

However, Chen Nian didn't even bother to answer His stupid question.

Instead, he seemed to have discovered something extremely interesting, and the playfulness in his eyes grew stronger.

"Oh?" A joy like finding a new toy appeared on his face. "You can actually block another hit?"

"Interesting, truly interesting!"

"Then how about this?"

Before his voice finished, Chen Nian raised his hand again!

Evil-Warding Heavenly Thunder, erupt!

“Rumble—!!!”

A purple thunder spear, condensed to the extreme and emitting a magnificent heavenly might, instantly burst forth!

At a speed exceeding thought, it tore through the sky and slammed directly into the Evil God!

The Evil God hadn't even recovered from the trauma of the previous strike, let alone had time to make any effective defense!

He could only watch helplessly as that lethal purple thunder light rapidly enlarged in His terrified pupils!

“Boom—!!!!!”

The purple thunder spear pierced into the Evil God's shadow with absolute precision!

The supremely Yang and firm lightning power erupted frantically, like billions of violent thunder snakes, wildly darting, rampaging, and purifying within His body!

“Ahhhhhh—!!!”

A shrill scream that didn't sound human erupted from the Evil God's shadow!

His body was like an ice block thrown into a steel furnace, melting and vaporizing in large swaths!

The originally massive shadow instantly shrank by nearly a third!

His aura withered to the extreme, as if He would completely dissipate at any moment!

[No! No—! Stop! Quickly stop!]

The Evil God completely collapsed, letting out shrill wails and pleas for mercy.

[Spare me! My Lord, spare my life!]

[I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!]

[I beg you! Let me go! I am willing to offer everything I have! My power! My knowledge! My Treasure Trove! Just spare my life!]

[I can be your most loyal slave! Serving you for all eternity!]

His voice was filled with the most primitive fear and humility, completely devoid of any majesty or arrogance as an Evil God.

At this moment, He was like a mangy dog with a broken spine, only knowing how to wag its tail and beg for a chance at life.

However, Chen Nian didn't even bother to lift an eyelid at this tearful plea for mercy.

The playful smile on his face grew more intense, like a child who had found a novel toy, full of enthusiasm.

"Still holding on? Not bad, not bad. You're quite durable!"

"Then how about trying this?"

He was like opening a treasure chest of skills.

All sorts of powerful and bizarre forces were at his fingertips, pouring toward the dying Evil God's shadow within the rift in one go!

“Swish swish swish—!” Heart-Devouring Demon Silk erupted, and countless red threads slashed toward that shadow at high speed!

“Boom boom boom—!” Nether Shock roared again, the eerie green energy frantically annihilating the Evil God's Origin!

“Rumble—!” Evil-Warding Heavenly Thunder kept falling, purple electric snakes entangling and purifying!

“Roar roar roar—!” Occasionally, there were even one or two Soul-Capturing Dragon Roars that directly affected the Soul's Origin, shaking the Evil God's will into dissipation!

Red, green, purple, gold... terrifying energies of various colors exploded one after another on the Evil God's shadow!

“Awoo! Ahhh! Ugh—!”

The Evil God's shadow emitted continuous, extremely miserable wails!

His body was constantly torn, melted, and purified, becoming smaller and smaller, and more and more thin!

He was like a target hung on a wall for testing power.

Enduring all sorts of inhumane bombardment!

Outside the rift, the people of the Spiritual Energy Bureau were completely stunned.

Their mouths were wide open, their eyes dull, and their brains had completely crashed because of this scene that was beyond imagination.

That was an Evil God!

A terrifying existence recorded in ancient scrolls, symbolizing calamity and destruction, enough to plunge a world into despair!

But now... He was actually like a sandbag with no power to resist, being hung up and beaten by Special Commissioner Chen with all sorts of tricks?!

This had completely exceeded their understanding of the word "battle"!

This was clearly Special Commissioner Chen's entertainment!

It was one-sided teasing and abuse!
