248: Chapter 238 The End
Odres, the Blue Water Ice Saint, gazed coldly at this world.
He appeared silently in the center of the battlefield.
In an instant, an extreme cold bloomed, freezing everything.
Even those in the Transformation Stage hiding in the shadows were not spared.
No one could have imagined that the decisive battle between the two major groups would be wiped out in a single moment.
Everyone turned to dust within the ice, slowly swallowed by the earth.
Odres slowly withdrew his gaze, not at all surprised by the scene of the earth devouring them.
In fact, this was his purpose.
He looked up, his eyes flashing with a divine light.
As if seeing through space, his gaze fell upon a certain place.
"A mere few ants are not worth my efforts, but you, a Saint-rank... to actually be able to break the space within the barrier..."
Whoosh!
At this moment, the Aura on Odres's body slowly dissipated.
The terrifying Aura that had flashed for a moment was continuously restrained and compressed, eventually becoming so faint it was as if he wasn't there at all.
Buzz!
A special vibration came through.
Illusory chains emerged from the world, intertwining with each other, their ends rooted in deep space.
Odres's body trembled, and he transformed into a streak of light, instantly merging into these worldly chains.
...
Ji Yebai stopped in his tracks.
He frowned and looked coldly behind him.
The terrifying Aura that had flashed behind him was truly startling.
And not only that.
His Divine Sense was currently throbbing, and a sense of trepidation surged in his heart.
"Targeting me?"
Ji Yebai pondered for a moment.
He slowly raised his right hand.
Gathering strength, he clenched his fist.
Then, he punched out with a boom.
Boom!!!
With a loud bang, heaven and earth trembled together.
Crack, crack, crack!
The space in front of him shattered like a mirror, leaving a large hole.
Energy storms swept through the void of the spatial hole.
Ji Yebai's expression remained unchanged as he instantly struck out an Aura that vanished into the void space.
Immediately after, void chains emerged, and under a mysterious resonance, the entire spatial hole was instantly smoothed over.
In the next moment, a towering killing intent swept over.
"You truly deserve to die!!!"
The bone-chilling words echoed throughout the small world.
As the voice fell, Odres's figure slowly emerged.
The frenzied killing intent caused the entire space to begin freezing.
Under the profound Law of Ice, even the air was covered in a layer of ice.
In an instant, the entire world entered a frozen realm.
Trees, grass, flowers, and exotic beasts were all frozen in an instant.
Eyes filled with frenzied killing intent locked onto Ji Yebai.
And just as Odres's figure appeared, Ji Yebai turned to look at him immediately.
"Finally stopped hiding!?"
Ji Yebai slowly shifted his gaze toward Odres.
This look slightly eased Ji Yebai's mind.
This was his first time facing a Saint-rank.
Regarding the legendary Saint-rank, even Ji Yebai had to be cautious.
After all, although he was also a Saint-rank, he focused on the Physical Body, unlike conventional Saint-ranks who used Laws to construct an illusory Law body.
However...
Although the Saint-rank was miraculous, and the one before him was even beyond the first stage of Saint-rank, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief after observing.
There was a threat.
But it wasn't strong.
"You discovered me long ago?"
Odres's Aura condensed as he asked in a deep voice.
If he had been discovered long ago, would this person have reported to the Demon Suppression Division?
Even if he was conceited, he didn't dare say he could face the pursuit of the top powers of the entire Universe.
Ji Yebai's single sentence instantly gave Odres a sense of urgency.
No.
He had to end this quickly and then go into hiding.
His resurrection could not be interfered with.
"Your movements were so obvious, it would be hard not to notice!"
Looking at the murderous Odres, Ji Yebai replied in a relaxed tone.
"In that case..."
"Then you can go die!!!"
Suddenly, ice condensed in Odres's hand, and a long spear emerged.
In an instant, the spear sped forward, flying frantically toward Ji Yebai.
An incredibly terrifying Aura spread out, and even space cracked under the freeze of this spear, with void fissures appearing in the air.
Not only that, the powerful Law of Ice had already begun to bind Ji Yebai.
At such a startling scene, even Ji Yebai's expression became solemn.
Who would have thought that this man would use his full strength in the very first Move.
However, this level of power also made Ji Yebai suddenly excited.
Even the martial blood in his body began to boil.
Yes, this is the feeling.
Divine light flickered in Ji Yebai's eyes, and a smile played at the corners of his mouth.
It had been a long, long time!
Finally, there was an opportunity for him to truly show his skills.
Ji Yebai took a deep breath, his muscles and bones ringing in unison, the power of Law permeating his flesh as an endless, terrifying force began to condense.
He shouted, "Good timing!"
Boom!!!
He threw a punch, meeting the cold spear that froze everything.
Boom!
In an instant.
Heaven and earth trembled, the ground shattered, and the air instantly exploded.
The entire world cracked directly into a void.
Milky white light filled the world, and the entire sky looked as if a giant beast had bitten out a massive hole.
A terrifying, rampaging spatial storm instantly swept over.
Odres's ice spear, filled with frenzied killing intent, collapsed with a bang.
Not only that.
Odres felt an unmatched force strike him.
As if the entire Universe were smashing into him.
That kind of force, that kind of weight, that kind of...
"Ah..."
Boom!!!
Odres's entire figure exploded like a firework.
Specks of ice-blue energy particles continuously dissipated.
Only the sound of miserable screams echoed.
This scene directly stunned Ji Yebai.
So weak!?
That shouldn't be right!?
Ji Yebai was stunned.
Although his strike was strong, it definitely shouldn't have killed him directly.
After all, he had felt a sense of crisis, which meant this person's strength was definitely very high.
But this...
Ji Yebai stared ahead, bewildered.
...
Underwater.
The body of High Priest Che Yi sat cross-legged as ice-blue particles from the void continuously emerged and surged toward him.
Not only that, streams of grey energy with a special pulse also emerged and surged.
They merged into Che Yi's body.
And in the next moment.
The energy filling the sky suddenly jolted, and then Che Yi's eyes snapped open.
A pair of eyes filled with infinite killing intent opened with a bang.
"Damn it, how is it possible..."
High Priest Che Yi—no, rather, Odres's voice rang out in disbelief.
He had miscalculated.
Under that massive force that felt like the entire Universe was smashing down, he had been dispersed without the slightest defense.
It was enough to show just how terrifying that force was.
"It was actually purely physical attacks..."
Odres's brow furrowed.
His face was full of confusion.
This person had actually used physical attacks to disperse his Move and even strike apart his Soul body.
When could a Saint-rank unleash such overbearing force!?
Could an illusory body condensed from Laws withstand such intense force!?
For a moment.
Odres showed a daze of doubting his own life.
However.
He was, after all, a Saint who had been famous for many years, a Saint powerful enough to even plot his own resurrection.
His cold heart trembled, suppressing all emotions.
"Wait until I resurrect and swallow him..."
Odres's expression froze as he turned his head and swallowed the fallen saint flower in one gulp.
The fallen saint flower was self-produced and self-consumed, costing no effort at all.
Boom!!!
The entire sky began to vibrate, endless ice-blue energy particles emerged, and wisps of smoky-grey energy mist appeared.
The earth and sky began to shatter in large swathes.
A terrifying Aura so powerful it made all living things tremble and even planets shake spread out.
"Ah... what is this..."
Somewhere in the small world, Abraham fled in shock with his team members.
The sky was falling and the earth was cracking; the powerful Aura spreading like a prehistoric giant beast even made this Transformation Stage expert tremble with fear.
The momentum was grand, and the killing intent was boiling over.
Endless killing intent surged and spread along with the vast, boundless cold.
The entire world began to collapse, turning into ash and ice.
At this moment.
Countless civilizations in the Neili Star Sector monitored with horror the energy fluctuations capable of freezing stars.
Some with advanced means even saw the entire corpse of the Astral Behemoth turn into a ball of ice.
...
Crack, crack!
The sound of shattering rang out.
Ji Yebai looked up.
Illusory chains emerged and subsequently began to break continuously.
The lockdown of the world was lifted.
The power of Laws could be sensed once again.
"You deserve to die!!!"
A voice that seemed to freeze the Universe rang out.
Ji Yebai turned his head, and Odres appeared once more.
However, the one appearing before Ji Yebai now was none other than the peerlessly elegant High Priest Che Yi.
However.
Ji Yebai could clearly feel that the one inside Che Yi's body was exactly that Saint from before.
Possession!?
Such an evil technique...
Boom!!!
Without waiting for Ji Yebai to think further, Odres struck instantly.
Boom!!!
The sky exploded.
Endless blue-white energy surged forward, drowning toward Ji Yebai at an incomprehensible speed.
Under that energy, everything was frozen; wherever it passed, even space was cracked by the cold.
The world seemed to return to the original Ice Age, with all things sealed.
Ji Yebai did not dare to be careless.
The current Odres was worlds apart from before.
With an attack like this, even with Ji Yebai's current Physical Body, he would be heavily injured if hit.
This was the full-strength strike of a master of Laws.
In an instant.
Energy surged, Laws emerged, and five-colored divine light flashed within Ji Yebai's body.
An incomprehensible miracle occurred.
So Close Yet So Far.
Shrinking Ground to an Inch.
In an instant, Ji Yebai's body began to sway.
With every surge of energy, he continuously stepped away.
In a brief moment, he had already dodged beyond a hundred attacks.
However.
This was not enough.
Energy surged.
He dodged a hundred, but there were more.
Endless energy, bolstered by Laws, would never run dry.
This was an attack capable of destroying stars.
He couldn't hide anymore!!!
Boom!!!
Suddenly, with Ji Yebai as the center, energy erupted with a bang.
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.
Five Elements Energy, the five-colored energy went into an uproar.
It similarly formed a sea of energy.
Boom!!!
Two forces of Law, each containing a personal will, slammed into each other; space instantly vibrated and exploded continuously, forming waves of crashing energy tides.
Under the powerful impact, the corpse of the Astral Behemoth, already drained of its essence by Odres, instantly turned to ash; the entire world trembled and was then exposed to the Universe.
Unlike Odres's violent and singular ice-blue energy flow, Ji Yebai's energy circulated through the Five Elements.
The Five Elements were in Perfection, circulating endlessly.
The power of Law Ji Yebai mobilized was weaker than Odres's, but under this circulation of the Five Elements, he actually withstood Odres's Law of Ice.
However, although Ji Yebai blocked most of the energy,
the commotion of their clash caused a destructive blow.
Boom boom boom!
The dense ice-blue energy and five-colored energy collided continuously; within tens of millions of miles, it was as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking, and even the void of outer space rippled.
The massive energy fluctuations created ripples in normal space, showing just how terrifying the power was.
The ripples expanded, passing over planets and instantly causing them to tear apart, and in the next moment, directly annihilate.
Boom!!!
As these stars exploded, at the very center of the battlefield, an incredibly terrifying, sky-shattering bang was heard.
Immediately after, a sensation that made Odres's Soul tremble with fear erupted.
"Impossible..."
Odres screamed out.
That was the Aura of death.
That was the Aura he had felt most deeply before he died.
Boom!!!
A materialized, terrifying energy struck.
Dazzling light filled the entire star system; the light on Ji Yebai's body at this moment actually surpassed that of the stars.
Endless five-colored light scattered across the entire space of the star system.
In front of him, the five-colored light condensed continuously, and energy rings spread out.
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.
Five-colored rings, five rings.
Boom!!!
Infinite energy flowed, the five-colored rings began to shrink, and in the next moment, they merged with a bang.
A pair of Yin and Yang Qi, formed by the reversal of endless Five Elements Energy into the Innate state, emerged, intertwining and lingering.
This terrifying energy not only withstood the impact of Odres's Law of Ice but even swallowed that ice Law power to strengthen itself.
"Yin and Yang... how is this possible..."
Upon seeing this scene, Odres cried out in shock.
Ji Yebai saw this but did not pause for a second.
With a thought,
Boom!!!
The Power of Yin and Yang, condensed from endless Five Elements Energy, shot out, carrying a profound and incomprehensible might that crushed the Law of Ice as it surged upstream.
Wherever the Power of Yin and Yang passed, everything was melted and dissolved; the destructive impact shook the entire Universe.
In an instant.
The terrified Odres felt his Soul nearly leave his body, and his eyes were filled with utter despair.
"I am unwilling..."
Odres roared in terror, the Law of Ice in his body went into an uproar, and he even drew upon that smoky-grey energy to form a shield before him in a bang, attempting to block the Power of Yin and Yang.
Boom!!!
The pillar of Yin and Yang light arrived instantly, carrying a might that could pierce through everything, and slammed hard into the shield.
That shield, which could withstand the explosion of a star, instantly began to tremble violently and crack.
Boom!!!
Heaven and earth shook, and the violently scattered energy, like a solar corona, erupted and scattered throughout the star system.
In an instant, planets began to tremble, mountains collapsed, the ground caved in, and the sky fell—some parts were even torn, melted, or frozen.
Suddenly.
The planets in the three surrounding small star systems were annihilated, ceasing to exist.
At this time.
The five-colored light on Ji Yebai's body slowly faded; he stood in the void, panting heavily, staring intently ahead.
The tyrannical energy still couldn't shake his body.
Thump! Thump!
After resting for a moment, Ji Yebai slowly raised his feet and walked forward.
That one Aura had become extremely weak.
Odres no longer looked human.
His body was tattered, with only a head remaining.
Even this head was only half-left, with the top of the skull missing.
Looking at the slowly approaching Ji Yebai, Odres's broken head moved slightly, and a low voice came out.
"Power of Yin and Yang..."
"You can actually mobilize the Power of Yin and Yang..."
"What a pity..."
"...You shouldn't have mobilized the Power of Yin and Yang..."
"...The barrier's... power... gone..."
The intermittent words continued to drift, and just as Ji Yebai came to a halt, the voice disappeared completely.
Just like that, Odres's Laws collapsed, and his Mental Energy vanished.
He completely ceased to exist.
...
A certain mysterious space.
Demons danced wildly, and it was pitch black.
Countless dangerous lands ran rampant, and countless fragmented spaces permeated the area.
"Yin and Yang are imbalanced; the Great Barrier has failed!!!"
Abruptly, a murmur spread throughout the entire space.
In an instant, this mysterious space began to burst with vibrations.
Like a tumultuous sky or a shattering mirror.
Crackling sounds were heard incessantly.
"I shall devour all, the one among billions, to prove eternity!"
The murmur was barely audible, but it caused continuous ripples in space.
Billions of figures that could not be looked at directly instantly turned into streaks of black light and slammed into each other with a bang.
Immediately after.
A demon-god-like body began to appear.
A pitch-black, indestructible, towering body emerged, propping up the sky, its height invisible.
This body, which had merged everything, emitted a supreme yin and evil power that could not be looked at directly.
It suddenly straightened its body, and the creaking mysterious space was instantly pierced with a large hole.
Countless starlight scattered.
The sky was filled with flowing light.
This space, which had broken away from the main Universe hundreds of millions of years ago, finally collapsed and vanished.
An endless, terrifying Aura emerged, causing the entire Universe to begin trembling.
The Great Barrier failed; destruction arrived early.
Doomsday had finally arrived.
