Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent-Chapter 513: Victory

In the God Kingdom.

The Netherlord gazed at Li Pin, who had unexpectedly drawn the power of the Supreme Demonic Sword into himself. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

A terrible thought surged in his mind, and his heart sank.

Li Pin... had never aimed to defeat or suppress the Supreme Demonic Sword. His true goal had always been the sword itself. That was why, upon obtaining the sword, he had immediately chosen to merge its power with his own.

A God Emperor holding the Supreme Demonic Sword.... Someone like that was invincible, absolutely invincible. He would be unmatched in the world. No one would be able to stand in his way.

As for the Netherlord himself... he would become the sinner of the Three Domains.

As this thought flooded his mind, the Netherlord felt his spirit waver, almost unable to hold up his body, which had been hollowed out by years of corruption from the Supreme Demonic Sword. He trembled, nearly collapsing.

Su Yun quickly stepped forward to support him. "Dear."

"Daddy!" Cang Ruoxi hurried over, her soft voice comforting. "Are you worried about Daddy Li Pin? Don't worry! You're invincible, and so is Daddy Li Pin."

Strangely, her words eased the lingering mental damage the sword's power had caused him. More than that, they made him quickly realize something he couldn't explain.

If Li Pin's goal had always been the Supreme Demonic Sword, then once he had it, he should have distanced himself from it. But instead, Li Pin eagerly chose to merge with the sword's power right in front of the Netherlord himself.

Given the profound bond between them, Li Pin had to have known that the Netherlord would gamble everything to take the sword back from him.

Despite that, he had still chosen to merge with the power of the Supreme Demonic Sword right in front of the Netherlord! He had done it openly, in a dignified manner!

This meant one thing—Li Pin was fearless. He did not fear the sword's corruption. He was confronting it to overcome it.

With that realization, the Netherlord quickly composed himself and nodded. "Yes."

He looked at Cang Ruoxi, saying firmly, "Li Pin is invincible!"

"Mm!" Cang Ruoxi nodded determinedly. "Daddy Li Pin is invincible!"

Rumble, rumble!

The ground rumbled as terrifying demonic flames surged from Li Pin. The power of the Supreme Demonic Sword projected the image of an unparalleled demon into the void. Its vast destructive aura seemed to mock the confidence of the Netherlord and Cang Ruoxi.

Beneath the demon's form, celestial bodies began to form—suns, moons, and stars rapidly multiplying: ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, ten million...,.

A massive galaxy eventually took shape.

Countless star systems, nebulae, and star rings formed around the demon, as if its power was so immense it could crush the entire universe and reduce its countless galaxies to dust.

The concept of these star systems was vague compared to real stars and galaxies, but their vastness still struck the hearts of all who witnessed it.

The demon seemed to be using this method to declare to the world, "You cannot fathom the true power of the Supreme Demonic Sword!"

Those who had never left their own planet were immensely shocked.

Even the Netherlord's God Kingdom could not fully shield him from it. He was deeply shocked, caught in this moment of overwhelming awe.

Is this... the power of the Supreme Demonic Sword? The true power of the Supreme Demonic Sword? Galaxies, universes—beyond all of it?

"Impossible!" the Netherlord muttered.

In his dazed state, he sensed that the battle had transcended all his understanding. It had entered a whole new level. It felt as though... Li Pin was up against an existence as immense as the galaxies, showing his own unmatched might.

"Galaxies..." muttered the Netherlord, shaken to the core.

A sense of suffocating despair befell the Netherlord. The weight of this very moment robbed him of his breath.

Who could stand against this kind of power? The God Monarch? The God Emperor? Or something even greater than them?

Compared to the true cosmos, these figures were nothing. No one could fight this power. No one.

"It's over..." the Netherlord muttered.

At that moment, Can Ruoxi, whose face had paled from shock, couldn't help but shout, "Daddy! You can do it!"

No matter how much she cheered for Li Pin, her voice could not reach him, blocked by the God Kingdom's barriers.

But... a strange force, like a beam of sunlight cutting through dark clouds, touched everyone present—Su Yun, Su Yuqing, the Netherlord—and pulled them from the suffocating despair that had gripped them.

Su Yun, whose resolve was weakest, gasped for air as if saved from drowning. The overwhelming scene had stolen their breath.

Following Cang Ruoxi's cheers, Li Pin's hearty laugh rang out outside the God Kingdom. "Hahaha!"

It was... a joyful sound.

The Netherlord sensed a hint of madness in that laughter, a sign that Li Pin might be losing control. But Cang Ruoxi didn't understand.

Seeing that her words had made Li Pin laugh, she felt encouraged. Raising her tiny fists, she cheered once more, "You can do it! Daddy, you can do it! Defeat it! My dad is invincible!"

Rumble, rumble!

As her words fell, a battle intent, capable of burning everything, erupted with a thunderous roar, like a wildfire sweeping across the plains.

First, a star was consumed, then a starfield, followed by star clusters, star rings, and galaxies... until, finally, it burned through the entire universe!

It seemed as though a great and chaotic will, carrying some form of expectation, resonated in the void, releasing a deep, tolling cry that reverberated throughout the world.

"Transcend! Transcend! Transcend!"

At that moment, countless beings heard this soul-shaking call.

Every living creature—martial artists, cultivators, Grandmasters, Legends, Demigods, Myths, God Kings, God Monarchs, and even the tens of thousands of Pioneers—had their minds filled with this singular voice.

It was... the voice of the world!

"What's happening!?"

"This is unprecedented... This change... it's unprecedented..."

"Has Astral God Mara's will manifested!?"

Only Fang Chunyang, Fang Zhiqian, Xu Anping, and the others, who were fiercely vying for the divine equipment, faintly realized something.

They exchanged glances and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"Could it be... Li Pin!?"

"It's him! It's him! It must be him!"

"Quick! Quickly! Seize all the Divine Equipment!"

After the shock, the pioneers dared not hesitate or falter for even a moment.

The manifestation of the world's will pointed to one undeniable truth: The Mara Divine Treasure World was on the verge of breaking apart!

***

The tolling voice, carrying the manifestation of the world's will, echoed in everyone's minds, including Li Pin's.

But... he abruptly raised both hands high, as though embracing the universe set ablaze by battle intent.

"No! It's not transcendence!" he roared.

Confronting his inner self and understanding its essence, his inner spirit power reached perfection, shining with brilliant, flawless light.

He clenched his raised hands with determination. "It's eternity! It's infinity!"

As his fists clenched, the Supreme Demonic Sword trembled violently. Cracks spread across its surface.

Bang!

It shattered!

The sword's internal structure collapsed, disintegrating into countless fragments that, under the influence of some mysterious force, transformed into light and vanished into the heavens and earth.

The moment the Supreme Demonic Sword shattered, the world fell into a strange silence.

Cang Ruoxi's joyous cheer rang out, her face flushed with excitement. "Victory! Victory! Daddy won!"

Still looking at Li Pin, she clapped her hands vigorously, cheering for him with pure joy.

In the vast world, it felt as though her voice was the only sound remaining.

Li Pin closed his eyes, quietly absorbing the wonder that came with the perfection of his inner spirit.

Transcendence. Eternity. Infinity.

After a while, a faint smile curved at the corner of his lips. This was a genuine smile that came straight from the heart.

The true reward? Achieving omniscience and omnipotence through the Moon Goddess was one thing. But the greatest reward came from the battle with the Supreme Demonic Sword, perfecting his inner spirit, and seeing the path ahead clearly.

Forging his own path and understanding its direction was the most important thing to him. Compared to that, the Supreme Demonic Sword, divine equipment, or even the Mara World were all insignificant.

Before entering the Mara Divine Treasure World, Li Pin had become a cosmic being. While he wasn't weak, he wasn't exactly notable either. He was at most another cosmic being. He had no distinct characteristics. His future had been similar to theirs. He would've become a Demigod, Divine Being, or at most an Astral God with no further potential.

But now... he had found his own path, understood what he wanted and what he had to do. He was no longer just another being in the crowd.

He could even be called unique. None of the countless others could hope to replace him.

He was no longer part of the collective "they," "the people," or "the masses." He now had his own distinct identity—Li Pin.

***

After some time, Li Pin opened his eyes and glanced at the Netherlord's God Kingdom. The Netherlord had lowered the barriers, his expression complex, as if realizing something.

Li Pin nodded at him before turning his gaze to Cang Ruoxi.

Cang Ruoxi stepped forward to congratulate him. "Daddy, you've won."

"No," replied Li Pin. He approached her, crouched down, and gently embraced her, his voice soft. "We've won."

Cang Ruoxi froze for a moment. Then, as if recalling something, the innocence and purity in her eyes faded, replaced by a weighty weariness.

Her eyes suddenly filled with many emotions—maturity, solemnity, pain, and sorrow.

"Yes..." She whispered, tears falling freely from her eyes, tracing her cheeks. "We... we've won."
