All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes-Chapter 1499 - 271: Resentful Heart (2/4)

The stars shone brightly.

A tremendous light rose from the very center of the heavenly dome, so intense even a Martial Artist found it hard to gaze directly at the sky. They could only catch a glimpse of the blue-golden radiance shining splendidly at the endless zenith with the corners of their eyes.

Originally, the entire Divine Capital lay under the shadow of ruins and floating city fragments, but in this very instant, an incredible Spiritual Fiend’s light was born, illuminating, penetrating, and even igniting the heavens and earth.

All colors faded away; ash vaporized from the surfaces of structures at the top, and jade stones on the ground dissolved into platinum-colored lava. Wherever the Divine Light passed, all things were ionized, vaporized, turning into nothingness, leaving only a vacuum trail.

And its target was exactly the Divine Beheading Platform!

"Wretch! You actually dare to deploy such Divine Skill in the Divine Capital?!"

"Millions of common people, have you truly no remorse?!"

As An Jing’s countdown progressed, on the Divine Beheading Platform, many officials stood wide-eyed in fury. The intervention of the Four Great Families’ heads previously bought them some time. Ultimately, those who truly control the Divine Capital Array are them, and each is an outstanding figure of the era.

Swiftly adapting to the Tianyuan Realm’s Spiritual Network defense and offense techniques, nearly banned from using Heavenly Official Talismans and reduced to mere mortals, the officials were both shocked and angry. They never expected the usually ’peaceful and grandmasterly’ An Jing to be so brazenly mad, resorting to destroying the Divine Capital at a disagreement—of course, this counted as petty matters. If truly at war, the enemy’s Heavenly Lord Lingxiao would immediately attack the capital, exterminating all lives alike.

What truly enraged them was being stripped of their power, almost trampled to death like stray dogs on the streets!

"Raise the Formation!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Lv Hengdian, was the first to soar into the sky. This stern middle-aged man with long facial hair had reclaimed part of his power, possessing the ’Heavenly Talisman’ himself, he was one of the twelve ’Heavenly Gods’ of the Da Chen Celestial Official System, wielding ’Power of Holding God, Holy Ceremony’. It was he who noticed An Jing secretly eroding the Divine Capital Array during his grand arrival anomaly and led the officials to counterattack.

At this moment, his whole body surged with green Qi, rippling rapidly away, rewriting the nature of the air wherever it passed.

[Heavenly Law·Give You Heavenly Duty]

In this instant, within a one hundred eighty-degree range centered in front of the Divine Beheading Platform, a cyan-colored glazed jade wall appeared out of thin air, thickening at an insane pace, becoming a mountain nearly a hundred miles long and fifteen miles thick in moments. The inner wall was dark black; a ray of light would take a hundred years to cross an inch.

Behind him, the officials united their power in formation, a tremendous change arose in the deepest stratum of the Divine Capital’s earth vein; a giant array plate akin to awoken Giant Gods, surfaced from the depths, breaking through districts and streets, slowly rising from the ground.

[Heaven, Earth, and Man]

This array plate was wholly Mysterious Gold, its edges irregular, like a jagged gear, and upon it were etched sun, moon, stars, landscape, and nation; billions of lives flowed like living beings on its surface.

Its appearance unleashed a radically different ’feeling’ that rapidly spread, as if...

Changing the human world.

At that instant, blinding white light crashed upon the glazed jade wall.

Heavenly Law·Give You Heavenly Duty could alter the essence of any Material Image, granting it power it did not originally possess, making a road infinitely smooth, a flame consume heat, naturally it could make air unreactive to light, continuously refracting, halting the speed of light.

Lv Hengdian’s power could cover the entire Divine Capital, turning the atmosphere as hard as iron, the rain as sharp as a Magical Soldier, yet now, all his power concentrated with the intent to block An Jing’s Primordial Heavenly Punishment Divine Light.

Then it was shattered.

"What?!"

Lv Hengdian barely had time to widen his eyes before uttering his final exclamation: "Reverse Four Symbols, Primordial..."

The light flashed by, reducing him to ashes.

The Heavenly Punishment Divine Light, condensed to the extreme, merely progressing forwards, reverted the space it traversed to almost the dawn of Heaven and Earth Creation’s time, when Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind were yet undivided, Primordial Power hadn’t turned into Yin Yang and the Five Elements, all acquired laws were futile against the divine light composed nearly of Tai Shi Yuan Evil.

In almost a moment, the glazed jade wall and half the Divine Capital’s atmosphere ignited, boiled and exploded. The Primordial Heavenly Punishment Divine Light hardly weakened a bit before directly colliding with the array plate conjured by the court’s multitude of officials.

And then a world-shocking thundering shock followed.

A giant wave, sufficient to pulverize stars, transformed into shock waves pushing the atmosphere apart like an explosion. The previously sparse material layer now dense and impenetrable, it rapidly spread in all directions, comparable to True Persons wielding Divine Steel Shields in full force charges, and the shield’s surface burned with a fire layer above a million degrees, obliterating and vaporizing all matter.

If overlooking from the heavenly dome’s summit, one could see, centered on the Divine Beheading Platform, a miniature sun blooming into a dazzling luminescence.

[Heaven, Earth, and Man] didn’t shatter directly like Lv Hengdian and his divine skill; the unique Heaven and Earth Law of Embracing the Void caused the Heavenly Punishment Divine Light to expand dozens of times, appearing more grandly terrifying, but also meant the condensed internal energy spread out, allowing displacement and deflection.

Despite this, it’s evident the vast array plate’s Formation Pattern was rapidly erased in the light, forming a Mirror Surface, subsequently, numerous light patterns appeared like cracks, spreading like a spider web.

Then it shook violently.

As the Void Space-Time quivered simultaneously, with the residual strength gone, the Primordial Heavenly Punishment Divine Light dispersed, along with hundreds of officials’ Battle Formation scattered by the counterforce.

It was blocked.

But still, everything fell into deadly silence.

Because, in the direction of the Primordial Heavenly Punishment Divine Light’s path, only a spherical space covered by the Heaven, Earth, and Man array plate was intact—Divine Beheading Platform and radius of fifty miles of city streets; upwards, downwards, left, right; the sky and the land all dissolved into vaporization.

From afar, it looked like a scorched-black sphere hovering in the golden-red giant lava crater, surrounded by a scorching blue ion storm.

Moreover, the residual ripples of the Primordial Heavenly Punishment Divine Light continued to expand, exceeding the atmospheric tolerance limit. The shockwave swept through, turning Divine Capital’s buildings, streets, and those who chose to stay into dust without pain in an instant. Their shadows first imprinted on the walls, then wall shadows imprinted on the ground, and finally the ground also turned into charred ashes, vanishing between Heaven and Earth.

The dying people did not look at An Jing in their final moment.

Before turning into ashes, they were still looking at those disgraced, scattered officials and Forbidden Army members.

Resentment.

Of course, not towards An Jing—how dared they resent the Martial Artist from beyond who could mercilessly eradicate them? They didn’t even dare glance toward An Jing’s location, fearing even their souls would be burned.

Their hatred was undoubtedly for Da Chen.

——Why...why?!

——An Jing can still use Taixu Divine Power to shift, why don’t you do it...

——Why...not protect us?!

"Damn, these obstinate civilians, could have evacuated, drained some of An Jing’s power, why stay, insist on remaining?!"

And many officials pushed away by the reaction force were internally injured, their organs felt inflamed, gnashing their teeth; "Ten breaths were given for you to flee, yet you didn’t leave, serves you right indeed!"
