206: The Burners have arrived!

Dead silence.

A suffocating silence enveloped the entire valley.

Only the heavy, suppressed breathing of the Abyssal Guards sounded particularly harsh in the stillness.

Numerous Abyssal Guards, with strengths as high as the seventh rank—enough to make an entire region tremble—were now being suppressed as if by an invisible divine mountain.

They were prostrate, crawling amidst pools of blood and minced meat, unable to even lift a single finger!

Humiliation! Extreme humiliation!

Anger! An anger that burned through the Soul!

But more than that, there was an incomprehensible fear that reached deep into their marrow!

They were the most elite guards under Lord Annihilator!

They were abyssal powerhouses who had experienced countless bloody battles and crawled out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

But in front of this human... how could this be?!

With just a single wave of pressure!

He had completely crushed all their pride and all their strength, trampling them into the mud!

What kind of power was this?! This was simply not power a human should possess!

The remaining low-level Demonic Evils were already scared witless; they huddled in corners, shivering, not even daring to breathe loudly.

The scene before them had completely shattered all their perceptions of power.

Golden divine light flowed around Chen Nian's body, his robes fluttering, his expression calm.

He looked down at those struggling "ants," his gaze so indifferent that there wasn't a single ripple, as if he were just looking at a pile of eyesore gravel.

"It seems this is your limit."

He shook his head slightly, a hint of dull disappointment in his tone.

"Boring."

"I thought I could warm up a bit, but it turns out you don't even have the qualification to make me move a finger."

"Abyssal Guards? Heh, the name is quite intimidating."

His words were like cold knives, ruthlessly scraping away the guards' last bits of dignity.

"Roar—!!!"

The Crystal Rock Golem let out a roar of extreme unwillingness, the Soul-fire in its eye sockets burning frantically as it tried to burn its Origin to break free from the shackles!

"Lowly worm! Do not be so arrogant! When my master's true body descends, he will surely make you..."

Before it could finish its harsh words.

Chen Nian didn't even give it a glance; he just casually raised his right hand and made a light clenching motion toward it.

Poof—!

Like crushing a ripe berry.

The Crystal Rock Golem's indestructible dark-red crystalline body, along with its burning Soul-fire, was instantly crushed and exploded by an invisible, massive force!

It shattered into crystal shards flying through the air and scattered energy flows, completely annihilated!

[Ding! You have killed the Rank 7 Abyssal Guard 'Crystal Rock Golem', gaining 36,552 points!]

An instant kill!

It was effortless, like brushing away a speck of dust.

The pupils of the remaining guards suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints!

Boundless chill instantly swept through their bodies; even their Souls were trembling!

They finally understood completely that the human before them was simply a monster that could not be measured by common logic!

Resistance? Struggling? Meaningless!

"Have mercy, Lord!"

"Don't kill me, I'm willing to do anything!"

"Please give us a chance! We are willing to be your most loyal dogs!"

Plea for mercy rang out again, more humble and desperate than before.

To survive, they could abandon everything.

However, Chen Nian turned a deaf ear to them.

He just gave a contemptuous smile and said indifferently.

"No need."

"You should just die."

The moment the words fell—

Hum—!!!

The golden light around Chen Nian surged again.

He gave a casual wave toward the suppressed Abyssal Guards!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh—!!!!!

Dozens of highly condensed, dark-green beams of light emitting an aura of annihilation—Nether Shock—poured down like a torrential rain!

This time, it was no longer a probe, but complete and utter destruction!

"No—!!!"

"Lord Annihilator, save..."

The guards let out roars of extreme despair, their pupils completely filled with the green light of death!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dense explosions merged into one, as if the thunder of the Nine Heavens had exploded at the same moment!

All the Abyssal Guards, along with the space around them, were instantly swallowed and annihilated by the violent Nether Shock energy!

Sturdy armor, powerful Physical Bodies, eerie energy forms... in the face of absolute power, they were as fragile as paper!

Just one wave of attack!

All the seventh-rank Abyssal Guards were completely wiped from the world!

Leaving behind only a massive, charred crater with edges smooth as a mirror.

And the heart-palpitating remnants of destructive energy permeating the air!

[Ding! You have killed the Rank 7 Abyssal Guard 'Shadow Hunter', gaining 31,123 points!]

[Ding! You have killed the Rank 7 Abyssal Guard 'Rot-Poison Lich', gaining 33,891 points!]

[Ding! You have killed the Rank 7 Abyssal Guard 'Soul-Rending Demon Bat', gaining 37,211 points!]

...The System notification sounds were frantically flooding his mind at an unprecedented frequency!

points were skyrocketing like a tsunami!

Feeling the rapidly jumping numbers in his mind, the corner of Chen Nian's mouth curled into a satisfied arc.

This harvest was quite good.

However, before he could be happy for long.

Hum—!!!!!

A majestic pressure, far more terrifying and vast than before, suddenly erupted from the frantically rotating dark-red vortex in the center of the altar!

Crack—crack crack—!!!

The space of the entire valley emitted an overburdened, tooth-gritting sound of cracking!

Countless fine black spatial cracks, like a spider web, frantically spread in all directions with the vortex as the center!

The ground split, and the sky distorted! It was as if the entire world were about to completely disintegrate at this moment!

The vortex expanded rapidly, swelling more than ten times in an instant, reaching a height of a hundred meters!

Viscous, blood-like dark-red energy surged out like a breached river of stars, dyeing more than half the sky an ominous dark red!

A pair of unimaginably large pupils, burning with dark-red flames and seemingly condensed from countless burning stars, slowly opened in the deepest part of the vortex!

Cold! Indifferent! Carrying the ultimate contempt and desire for destruction toward all living beings!

Following that, a giant claw covered in dark-red scales and entwined with flames of destruction—as if it could crush a star in one grasp—slowly poked out from the vortex!

Wherever the giant claw passed, space collapsed inch by inch, and everything returned to nothingness!

Boom—!!!

In the next second, a trembling, massive figure a hundred meters tall walked out from the crack.

It was a giant god of fire that touched the heavens and stood upon the earth!

His body was as majestic as a mountain, entirely covered in dark-red scales, each scale seemingly flowing with the luster of molten lava.

On his hideous head, a pair of pupils burning with scorching flames, like two miniature suns of Hell, looked down upon the mortal world with majesty.

He didn't even need to do anything; his existence alone was enough.

The extreme heat and Divine Might he radiated turned the entire valley into a boiling lava Hell in an instant!

The true body of the Incinerator had descended!

[ant... you have successfully enraged this seat...]

A grand, ancient voice, mixed with the wails of hundreds of millions of Souls, exploded directly in the depths of Chen Nian's Soul!

[In my name as the Incinerator, I grant you eternal death!]

The terrifying Divine Might of an evil god, like the simultaneous eruption of hundreds of millions of volcanoes, ruthlessly pressed down on Chen Nian!

However, Chen Nian, who was at the center of this world-destroying pressure, did not show the slightest gravity; instead, an unprecedentedly fiery Battle Intent erupted in his eyes!

Golden divine light soared from his body, like the dawn light tearing through the darkness, boldly contending with that dark-red evil might!

"You're finally willing to come out?"

Chen Nian looked up at the pair of cold flame pupils in the vortex, his mouth splitting into an excited and cruel arc.

"So much dawdling, wasting so much of my time."

"Now, you can die!"
