Human Clan Defender-Chapter 602 - s The New Emperor Ascends to the Throne, Annihilation Rule (4-in-1, Request for Monthly Tickets)_7
A vast Divine Kingdom rested upon the Endless Void.
In the center of the Divine Kingdom.
A terrifying figure shrouded in golden light sat motionless, infinite Dao Rhythms emanating from its body. Its mere aura seemed capable of suppressing the boundless Void.
Below, numerous powerful experts were seated cross-legged, silently reciting scriptures.
Suddenly, the Divine Kingdom trembled slightly, immediately alarming all the powerful experts.
Since the establishment of the Divine Kingdom, countless years had passed. The number of actual tremors it had experienced could be counted on one hand. Each tremor signified that something terrible was about to occur, so this current shaking of the Divine Kingdom naturally horrified them.
When the Divine Kingdom trembled, the terrifying figure cloaked in golden light seemed to sense something. It raised its head to look into the skies above the Divine Kingdom, where the rules of the Heavens intertwined, revealing infinite profundities.
However, within the rules of the Heavens, a faint trace of gold had appeared at some unknown point. This trace of gold did not merge with the rules of the Heavens; it was like an external enemy, causing the vast rules of the Heavens to ripple.
"Hmm?"
The terrifying figure voiced its surprise and reached out, its hand plunging into the rules of the Heavens, attempting to seize that trace of gold.
However, that trace of gold was as elusive as a slippery fish, evading capture.
Eventually, the terrifying being withdrew its hand. In the next instant, it vanished from the Divine Kingdom.
Within the endless Rule Long River.
The terrifying being appeared abruptly. Here, the rules pervading the Heavens manifested. An occasional slight fluctuation could cause the Void to silently collapse and implode. But such power failed to elicit even the slightest change in its expression.
Not long after its appearance, the space above the Rule Long River tore open, and more beings, each exuding an equally terrifying aura, emerged. All of them were shrouded in divine light, their true faces indiscernible.
These beings fixed their gazes upon the Rule Long River below. There, the Myriad Paths Rules flowed. Amidst the seven-colored waters of the river, a trace of gold, which should not have existed, was present.
After a long silence, one being slowly spoke, "The Annihilation Rule, once prophesied, has actually appeared—"
"Why would the Annihilation Rule appear again? Only the Human Clan could comprehend the Annihilation Rule. We eradicated them long ago, so the Annihilation Rule should not have re-emerged."
Another being's voice was indifferent. Even the appearance of the Annihilation Rule failed to stir much emotion within them. At their level, many events were insignificant in the eyes of such beings.
"Although the Annihilation Rule was created by the Human Clan, it's possible that other races have received this inheritance. In the past, the Human Clan was a formidable power throughout the Heavens; it's not surprising they left legacies behind.
But even a race as mighty as the Human Clan was annihilated. Now, even if the Annihilation Rule reappears, it cannot change the current state of affairs. Our Divine Path is already deeply rooted in the Heavens. The prophecy of the Heavens' Master is, in the end, just a prophecy."
The terrifying being wreathed in golden divine light spoke unhurriedly. It paused for a moment before speaking again.
"With our current strength, even if the Human Clan of old were to reappear, they could not possibly be our match. Now that the Annihilation Rule has appeared, we simply need to eliminate it. Judging by how faint the Rule is, the one who manifested it cannot be very powerful. Eliminating an ant should not pose any problem."
Upon hearing this, the other beings nodded slightly. Indeed. One only needed to compare the Annihilation Rule to the current rules of the Heavens to understand how weak the Annihilation Rule presently was. If the Rule is weak, then the one who manifested the Annihilation Rule cannot be very strong either.
The being enveloped in golden divine light said, "The Annihilation Rule is currently elusive. I hope you will all cooperate to capture it. Then, I will attempt a calculation."
As it finished speaking, the other beings said nothing, directly making their move towards the Rule Long River.
BOOM!!
The Void collapsed and shattered.
The usually tranquil Rule Long River seemed to sense something and instantly began to churn violently. Occasionally, river water splashed onto the divine light, causing it to dim slightly. The Annihilation Rule darted about within it like a swift fish, attempting to escape the imminent danger. However, under the combined assault of the numerous beings, it was still confined to a specific area.
Seeing this, the being enveloped in golden divine light did not hesitate. With a wave of its hand, a beam of golden light shot out. Upon entering the Rule Long River, this beam was eroded by the endless Power of Rule, until only an almost imperceptible trace of its power managed to fall into the Annihilation Rule.
「——」
「Inside the Demon-Subduing Division.」
A terrifying premonition welled up in Shen Changqing's heart, as if something was threatening him. He instantly snapped out of his deduction state.
With a single step, he rose into the air above.
Immediately, he saw a brilliant golden light descending. Everywhere it passed, the very air collapsed and was annihilated.
Shen Changqing had no time to think. The long sword at his waist was unsheathed in an instant, unleashing the strongest Blade Slash of his life.
First Grade Divine Skill!
Heaven and Earth Slash!
An endless torrent of blade light erupted. This power, seemingly capable of tearing Heaven and Earth asunder, fiercely collided with the golden light. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
BOOM—
As the two forces collided, a deafening explosion seemed to resonate throughout the entire Great Qin. The Capital City was plunged into instantaneous darkness.
The destructive shockwave swept across the sky in all directions. Wherever it passed, space fractured and disintegrated inch by inch.
This so-called darkness was not true darkness. Rather, the sunlight itself was completely devoured by the shattered space. Only when space had fully repaired itself did light return to the skies above the Capital City.
As he descended from mid-air, an intense wave of weakness washed over Shen Changqing. He looked at the long sword in his hand, only to see the light within its blade dim as countless cracks spiderwebbed across its surface.
In the next breath, the long sword shattered. Numerous fragments rained down to the ground.
The Sky Strike had shattered. While he felt a pang of regret for the destruction of a Superior Grade Spiritual Energy artifact, what truly concerned Shen Changqing was not the loss of the weapon. It was that golden light he had just witnessed—a light that pulsed with ultimate destruction.
That power was unlike anything he had ever encountered. It could be said that the Heaven and Earth Slash, unleashed with his full power after breaking through to the Immortal Golden Body Realm, was genuinely comparable to the might of the Ghost Saint he had faced. That was no exaggeration. Yet, even such a formidable attack had barely managed to withstand that golden light.
Worse still, he couldn't even identify who had launched the attack. Clearly, the attacker had struck from an immense distance.
Instantly, a profound sense of dread welled up in Shen Changqing's heart.
To strike with such power from so far away... if they attacked me directly, they could probably crush me with a single hand! Who on earth was that? Could it be a Demon God from the Demon Evil Clan?
The only enemy he could think of capable of this was the Demon Evil Clan. After the Ghost Saint's demise, it was entirely plausible that an even more powerful entity from the Demon Evil Clan would seek revenge.
However, the fact that this entity attacked from afar suggested it couldn't easily enter this world. There had to be some kind of restriction. Yet, Shen Changqing had no idea what that restriction might entail.
If that was truly an expert at the Demon God Realm, the difference in our cultivation realms is simply too vast! My current strength... it's still far too weak!
His eyes turned icy. Any complacency he might have felt after breaking through to the Immortal Golden Body Realm had now vanished completely. Moreover, his feud with the Demon Evil Clan was now truly irreconcilable. If he ever got the chance, he would make the Demon Evil Clan pay for this.
Just you wait! Once my strength is sufficient, I will ensure your entire Demon Evil Clan is exterminated! Shen Changqing vowed fiercely in his heart. Even a clay doll has a temper, and he was not one to take a beating lying down.
