Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent-Chapter 276: Death
Chapter 276: Death
There were over two hundred Martial Saints, the weakest of whom were Extreme Martial Saints! This was a force no Astral Cultivator could oppose! Even High-Class Astral Cultivators would be slowly worn down in a head-on fight with them.
Despite that, when Li Pin's Lifeform Force Field erupted, the two hundred Martial Saints suddenly felt like a mountain was pressing down on them, making it nearly impossible to breathe.
As this invisible mountain bore down on them, it felt as though their qi and blood had been stripped away. As a result, their secret arts and forbidden techniques were rendered useless, and their physical strength was reduced to barely a tenth.
This was the Lifeform Force Field!
However, this wasn't just any Lifeform Force Field! When Li Pin mastered the second level of the Stars Overlord's secret art, his Lifeform Force Field transformed into something that could no longer be defined by this art alone.
When he unleashed the Lifeform Force Field, it resonated with the Celestial Force Field. It was like an object gaining immense energy when accelerated to its limit.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the Lifeform Force Field spread, those Martial Saints farther away were slightly better off, but those closer—within dozens of meters from Li Pin—had all their strength drained. They couldn't help but collapse to the ground.
Looking like wheat getting harvested, more than two hundred Martial Saints fell one after another in batches.
It wouldn't have mattered if they were ordinary people, but... those were Extreme Martial Saints!
"No!"
"How could this be?! Break through it!"
"Heavenly Dragon True Body, activate!"
Some Extreme Martial Saints refused to be suppressed by Li Pin. They erupted with their qi and blood, unleashing their secret arts.
Their ravaging qi and blood and boiling mental spirit clashed against the Lifeform Force Field, resisting it.
However, even with the full eruption of the Extreme Martial Saints, they could only push through their limits and manage a few more steps toward Li Pin.
Perhaps they moved another twenty meters, ten meters, or only just a few meters closer... but without exception, all of them were completely exhausted. They could only helplessly let their fragile bodies crumble under the weight of the Lifeform Force Field, collapsing back into the mud from the torrential rain.
"No!"
At that moment, countless Extreme Martial Saints let out cries of frustration, unwilling to perish like that.
Many of them had felt conflicted about fighting Li Pin with overwhelming numbers. Yet, even when they did, they failed to reach Li Pin. It thoroughly crushed their Martial Will.
An indescribable terror shattered the killing intent and oppression brought by the combined will of over two hundred Martial Saints, madly echoing and rampaging atop the cliff!
The shock of this scene deeply impacted those lagging behind, including everyone in Tianyuan—which was kilometers away—who had not yet rushed up the cliff.
At this moment, even figures like Ao Haichuan and Cang Shengjie, who had the best hope of vying for the title of King of the Century, couldn't help but feel appalled.
"Impossible!"
"How could this happen!?"
Wang Liancheng's pupils dilated. He involuntarily leaned forward, as if he'd only be able to see clearer this way. "This... this is a Lifeform Force Field!?"
A Lifeform Force Field was actually this strong!?
Ye Chengyuan let out an unconscious groan full of shock. "My God...."
Over two hundred Martial Saints were forced to a standstill, collapsing like wheat being harvested....
This scene... was nothing short of a miracle, especially since the one who acted was merely a martial artist....
He possessed such great power....
***
Li Pin stood atop the cliff, looking down at everyone from above, spreading his arms. "Unleash your qi and blood, burn your mental spirit, elevate your fighting intent, and come before me."
Thunder roared across the sky. Wind and rain raged behind him.
At that moment, he appeared to have been cast from gold. Electricity constantly crackled across his skin, making him appear almost like a deity bathed in thunder as he stood there in front of everyone.
Li Pin continued speaking in an encouraging tone. "Let me see your efforts, your strength. Let me see that you truly have the qualifications to stand before me and dare to strike at me...."
Li Pin's gaze shifted, and the void space sparked with electricity.
His gaze pierced directly toward the best performers—Ao Haichuan, Cang Shengjie, Xi Mi, and Meng Xueya.
Amidst the thunderstorm, his voice reached everyone's ears.
"And then... earn the right to die at my hands."
His gaze swept over the crowd, as heavy as a thousand tons, shaking everyone down to their core.
The people who were most affected were Ao Haichuan and Cang Shengjie. Their minds were overwhelmed by fear.
However, before this fear could take control of Ao Haichuan, Cang Shengjie, and the others, they ruthlessly suppressed it. An indescribable sense of humiliation and anger surged in their hearts!
They felt humiliated that just a glance from Li Pin had left them paralyzed with fear! They were enraged that their will lacked the courage to press forward and break through his Lifeform Force Field.
In fact, they could not even walk up to him, draw their swords, or raise their fists.
Ao Haichuan gripped his blade tightly as his qi and blood boiled violently, and his fierce spirit burned. "How is this possible...."
He stared hard at Li Pin, who was dozens of meters away, before stepping forward resolutely. "Do you think you're the only one who can concentrate all your Vitality, Qi, and Spirit into one point!? Do you think you're the only one with a Lifeform Force Field strong enough to surpass everyone else!? Do you think—"
Ao Haichuan's burning mental spirit and qi and blood seemed to break an unprecedented shackle, allowing him to enter a state of ultimate elevation.
Carrying a belief so strong it could help him refine qi into Spirit and meditate on the Astral God, Ao Haichuan exploded forward, his massive frame instantly tearing through the void toward Li Pin like a cannonball.
Ao Haichuan roared, "Just who do you think you are!?"
He swung his war saber high. It looked like a cruel and cold crescent moon as it tore through the void and slashed down toward Li Pin.
As he burned all his spirit smashing through Li Pin's Lifeform Force Field to reach him, another figure followed closely behind.
It was Ten-Thousand Slaughter.
This killing machine, which Great Shang had high hopes for and specifically trained to target Wang Liancheng, followed closely behind the Lifeform Force Field that Ao Haichuan had broken. With a wave of his hand, over ten objects flashed coldly, whizzing toward Li Pin with lethal intent.
They were a bunch of flying daggers!
Ten-Thousand Slaughter had unleashed his Aura Force and fired thirteen flying daggers that contained no less power than that of fired sniper bullets.
The Lifeform Force Field interfered with one's qi and blood but lacked significant physical attack power.
The thirteen flying daggers streaked through the sky, carrying a sharp, ear-piercing whine. In an instant, they were aimed at Li Pin.
However, Li Pin did not move even when faced with the threat of the thirteen daggers.
The nature of the Lifeform Force Field slightly changed. It subtly connected with the Celestial Force Field. Suddenly, the electric sparks dancing about Li Pin erupted, sweeping over the flying daggers that were enhanced with Aura Force.
Boom!
Rainwater and flying daggers collided as if they had hit an invisible barrier.
As the barrier exploded and pushed forward, a visible blue shockwave swept away and shattered all the raindrops in front of them.
The thirteen flying daggers were also swept up and shattered by the shockwave.
Fueled with the force of ultimate elevation, Ao Haichuan charged up to Li Pin.
At that moment, Ao Haichun, as if struck by the shockwave of an explosion, was blown back by the scattered lightning. He flew back dozens of meters before crashing heavily into the ground, sending a tremendous amount of mud and rainwater splashing.
Making use of that distraction, Ten-Thousand Slaughter closed in on Li Pin.
He said, "So what if you're a god!? I will kill God!"
The thin sword on his wrist, like a hidden viper, viciously stabbed toward Li Pin's face. However, before his sword could strike Li Pin's head, Li Pin's left hand shot out like lightning, precisely striking the tip of the thin sword.
Aura Force erupted.
Though the sword was made of top-tier materials, its thin blade was directly shattered by the burst of Aura Force. The violent force surged through the blade and into Ten-Thousand Slaughter's arm, causing a mist of blood to burst from his arm.
At this moment, a thick green mist suddenly sprayed out from Ten-Thousand Slaughter's wrist guard, filling the air and almost completely enveloping Li Pin.
Hmm?
Sensing something unusual, the Force Li Pin had projected instantly surged. He struck out fiercely with his right hand aimed at Ten-Thousand Slaughter's head.
Along with the intense surge of his qi and blood, an enormous, blazing figure seemed to rise behind him like an endless scorching sun that would drive away the torrential rain.
Ten-Thousand Slaughter let out a horrified scream. "Great Sun Golden Crow!"
Several spots on his body simultaneously shot out sword and blade lights, but... it was useless.
As this blazing, violent punch descended with fist force that seemed to want to obliterate everything, all of Ten-Thousand Slaughter's defensive measures became completely ineffective.
Sword light shattered!
Blade light crumbled!
He could only watch as Li Pin's fist, imbued with the power of the Great Sun Golden Crow, slammed into his head.
In an instant... his vision was filled with brilliant radiance.
After the extreme daylight... came extreme night. Following that fleeting moment of brilliance, endless darkness devoured his vision and senses.
Meanwhile, everyone saw Li Pin effortlessly display his blazing, violent punch and kill Ten-Thousand Slaughter on the spot. Under Li Pin's terrifying aura force, Ten-Thousand Slaughter's head exploded into a mist of blood, which was then scattered by the wind and rain.
He... was the first Martial Saint to fall since the start of the King of the Century battle. The killing machine with the greatest hope of emerging victorious for the Great Shang Empire—Ten-Thousand Slaughter—was the first to die!
Li Pin immediately sensed the poison's corrosive effects on him. "Poison?"
When he killed Ten-Thousand Slaughter, the qi and blood he exerted caused his Lifeform Force Field to loosen slightly.
Noticing this, those Martial Saints who had been nearly in despair instantly saw a glimmer of hope.
The Martial Saints who remained true to their Martial Will held back, but the killing experts who had been specifically trained to win the King of the Century battle roared together.
"He's been poisoned!"
"Now's the time!"

"For the Empire's glory! Kill!"
Amidst the low roars, dozens of Martial Saints surged forward all at once.
