328: Is this the power of authority? It's not even enough to tickle an itch!

"How dare an ant speak such nonsense!"

Hearing this, the Lord of Curses instantly flew into a rage.

The black mist churning around his body suddenly froze, then erupted with unprecedentedly violent fluctuations!

"One who wields the Authority of a realm is actually a 'frog at the bottom of a well' in your mouth?!"

"Ignorant human! You have no idea what you are facing!"

"Today, I shall let you experience firsthand what true despair is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of Curses clenched his fist violently toward Chen Nian's direction!

"Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ————!!!!!"

The heavens and earth changed color!

With the Lord of Curses as the center, the space within a thousand-meter radius seemed to be instantly sucked into a vacuum!

Immediately after, a pillar of light with a diameter of over fifty meters...

...composed of the Law of Curses and Negative Energy, a Dark Purple Energy Pillar erupted fiercely!

Wherever the pillar of light passed, space was annihilated inch by inch, turning into the most primitive Chaos!

A bottomless chasm was plowed into the ground, and the rock walls on both sides exploded and evaporated!

This strike was no longer just an energy attack.

It was even the manifestation of the Authority of Curses!

Containing the power of the Law strengthened by the "World-Ending Curse Seal," it was enough to make anyone instantly Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

There wasn't even time for the thought of resistance to arise!

"My God—!!"

Behind them, the Human Allied Forces, who had just steadied themselves, were all pale with horror!

Fairy Ling Shuang's cold, pretty face instantly lost all color, her voice trembling from extreme shock:

"This... this is the power of the Authority of Curse and Resentment?! It's simply impossible for human strength to contend with!"

Sword Without Trace gripped his ancient sword tightly, his knuckles turning white and the veins on his forehead bulging:

"Space is annihilating... the Law is wailing..."

"The curse power contained in this strike is enough to curse and kill any living being!"

Old Daoist Zhang Mingyuan's beard trembled, his aged eyes full of horror:

"Infinite Heavenly Lord... this is the might of world destruction! Can Senior Chen... can he block it?!"

Captain Wang Zhen gritted his teeth and roared hoarsely:

"All units! Activate the highest-level Combined Psionic Shield! Fast—!!"

Meanwhile, those who had withdrawn from the Core Altar Area...

...the Demonic Evil elites who were hiding in the distance watching the battle...

...erupted in earth-shaking, fanatical cheers!

"Our Lord's Divine Might! The Abyss is eternal!!"

"Hahahaha! Death-seeking humans! Do you see? This is our Lord's true power!"

"Under this strike, no matter how strong you are, you will surely be Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, turning into nourishment for the curse!"

"Our Lord is invincible! Kill him! Extract his soul and refine his spirit, torturing him for all eternity!"

The Demonic Evils were so excited they danced for joy.

Their eyes were filled with infinite worship for the Lord of Curses and cruel anticipation of the miserable end Chen Nian was about to face.

In their eyes, this strike was already a killing blow!

A mere human, no matter how strong, so what?

Before the Lord who wields the Authority of a realm, he is but a slightly larger ant!

However, facing this world-destroying, terrifying strike that contained the power of Law...

...Chen Nian, at the very front of the storm, only shook his head gently.

Not only was there no trace of solemnity on his face, but he even showed a hint of disappointment?

"That's it?"

Chen Nian lightly spat out two words, his tone as flat as if he were critiquing a bland soup.

In the next second, he slowly raised his right hand, fingers spread.

He casually pressed down against the roaring dark purple torrent of destruction.

There was no earth-shaking eruption of Aura, no dazzling brilliance of energy.

It was just the simplest, most direct downward press of a palm.

However—

"Buzz—!!!!"

An indescribable, magnificent Divine Might, seemingly originating from the very beginning of the creation of the world...

...erupted from Chen Nian's palm!

A translucent barrier, condensed to the extreme and appearing pale gold...

...like an ancient world barrier, instantly stood between Chen Nian and that torrent of destruction!

On the surface of the barrier, countless fine and mysterious divine runes could be seen flowing.

It emitted a supreme Aura that suppressed the heavens and was immune to all dharmas!

"Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ————!!!!!"

The dark purple torrent of destruction slammed violently into the Golden Barrier!

The deafening explosions merged together, as if billions of stars were exploding at once!

The blinding brilliance of energy illuminated the entire Soul Burial Valley like broad daylight!

Black cracks of shattered space spread frantically like spider webs!

The shockwave spread outward like a tsunami!

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

With the point of impact as the center, the ground within a radius of several thousand meters was overturned layer by layer, crushed, and turned into powder!

The towering black cliffs on both sides of the Soul Burial Valley, like toy blocks smashed by an invisible giant hand, collapsed and crumbled!

Boulders rolled down, and dust soared into the sky!

The blood-colored clouds in the sky were torn to shreds by the violent energy turbulence!

The entire heavens and earth seemed to tremble and wail under this strike!

However—

That seemingly thin Golden Barrier was as steady as the sea stabilizing divine needle, not moving an inch!

All the dark purple energy containing the Law of Curses...

...at the moment of contact with the barrier, rapidly melted, annihilated, and purified!

It couldn't even achieve a single shred of erosion or penetration!

Furthermore, the magnificent Divine Might emitted by that Golden Barrier...

...also acted like an invisible shield, enveloping the Human Allied Forces behind him as well!

No matter how the energy storm outside raged, within the barrier, not even a slight breeze was stirred!

"This... how is this possible?!"

"Our Lord's full-power strike... was actually blocked?!"

"It didn't... didn't even shake the barrier at all?!"

The fanatical smiles on the faces of the Demonic Evils watching from afar instantly froze.

Each one was like a duck being strangled, their eyes wide and round.

Their faces were filled with incomparable horror and disbelief!

Meanwhile, on the side of the Human Allied Forces, after a brief dead silence, earth-shaking exclamations and cheers erupted!

"He blocked it! Special Commissioner Chen blocked it!!"

"My God! That was an attack containing the Authority of a realm! Special Commissioner Chen actually... actually caught it so easily?!"

"That Golden Barrier... what power is that?! I feel a supreme, holy Aura, as if it can suppress all evil!"

"Senior Chen is mighty! Senior Chen is invincible!!"

Fairy Ling Shuang's beautiful eyes flashed with brilliant light, her hand holding the sword hilt trembling slightly from excitement:

"Immune to all dharmas... all evils retreat..."

"Senior Chen's power level has already exceeded my scope of understanding..."

Sword Without Trace took a deep breath, the worship in his eyes turning into a near-pious awe:

"This is... true power."

"No matter if you are clad in Authority or use Law attacks, I shall break them all with a single force!"

Old Daoist Zhang Mingyuan even bowed directly toward Chen Nian's direction, old tears streaming down his face:

"Daoist Ancestor above... this old Daoist has seen a True Immortal today!"

And now, the energy aftermath slowly dissipated.

Behind the Golden Barrier, Chen Nian slowly withdrew his hand and brushed off non-existent dust from his shoulder.

He looked up at the Lord of Curses shrouded in black mist in the distance, the corner of his mouth curving into an undisguised arc of contempt:

"This is your so-called 'Power of Authority'?"

"It's not even enough to tickle me."

"If this is all you've got, then you can go die."
