The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 942: Annihilation

Slash!

The scene made everyone from both sides shocked. Their expectations and understanding were completely flipped at this moment.

There was no one who did not show an intense reaction.

The dagger devil, a strong cultivator at the peak pseudo immortal stage, had his head severed, and his body fell from the sky and crashed into the ocean. They did not see any excessive movement.

What they saw was a technique of space laws before the sword strike appeared and beheaded the dagger devil.

The other members of the Six Stars of Destruction, who could see the scene the clearest, were truly speechless. Their hearts beat faster, their minds fell into chaos, and their hearts shuddered.

The axe devil looked at Aldrian with a chaotic mind. In his thoughts, the only possible outcome for Aldrian was death and nothing else. Although the dagger devil had weaknesses, namely his unstable mentality and crazy character, he was still a peak pseudo immortal stage cultivator.

No matter how much he underestimated his opponent, he should not have fallen victim to Aldrian. Even if that opponent were at the same level as him, it would still be difficult, so it was even more impossible for someone much weaker than him.

That was why no one stopped him, as they believed the dagger devil could finish that figure swiftly.

He was a strong cultivator at the peak pseudo immortal stage, for fuck sake. So how could he be killed so easily by a figure they had already considered an ant?

What the fuck just happened?

"That man’s control over space is truly good and also powerful. He could use spatial displacement, and for a moment the dagger devil seemed frozen by something, which allowed that man to strike him. It seems we underestimated him too. He has a few tricks that made him confident." The sword devil said as he looked at Aldrian solemnly.

But then he looked at the sword on his waist, which suddenly began trembling, and he could not help but feel astonished. He then sensed a powerful sword will coming from Aldrian’s direction, which made him instantly turn to look at Aldrian.

Many others also sensed the powerful sword will as the swords on both sides of the troops tremble.

Aldrian had already pointed his sword at the remaining Six Stars of Destruction.

Looking at that posture, a danger alarm instantly rang within their instincts, making goosebumps on their bodies. It had been a very long time since they last felt this kind of sensation, and they knew it was no joke.

The first thought that came to their minds was to move away from the direction the sword was pointed at.

However, there was not even a split second when—

Shhiinnnn!

A giant golden beam of light shot out from the sword and rushed toward the devil lines. It appeared instantly, as the technique itself possessed the speed of light. The pillar of light erupted from the sword and had already split the devil troops’ cruisers formation into two.

The sea behind the devil troops was also split apart as the beam instantly reached the seabed and destroyed it.

The bow devil and spear devil, who did not have time to completely evade the path of the strike, had their bodies instantly obliterated by the light. Their bodies disintegrated into small particles, leaving only traces of blood fog, which also disappeared as it was swept away by the golden beam.

The survivors from the Six Stars of Destruction had already appeared far away and turned to look at the scene in horror. But before they could take a sigh of relief, the beam of light actually moved again at a terrifying speed!

The movement of the beam followed Aldrian’s sword as he swung it toward their direction and toward the other devil troops. The beam was swept in every direction, and everything that was touched by the beam of light was destroyed or obliterated.

For the devils, they were entirely obliterated. For things like cruisers and flying fortresses, their hulls were instantly split apart. Because Aldrian swung his sword several times, many hulls were split into multiple parts before exploding.

The destroyed massive hulls of the flying fortresses fell into the sea, creating giant waves that spread toward the surrounding regions.

The devils that were still alive because the beam of light had not yet reached them finally realized the situation they were in and decided to escape in many directions.

However, unfortunately for them, Aldrian, who targeted any devil within his sight, continued swinging his sword relentlessly, and beams of light swept through the devils regardless of the distance.

The beams of light reached distances of more than 120,000 kilometers!

If seen from space, someone would see lines of golden light swinging back and forth across the region.

The clouds were also swept away by the light, making the scene from space look spectacular but also horrifying. The sea was truly in chaos, and the land in the distance that happened to be in the path of the light also sustained heavy destruction. Mountains split apart, and the land formed deep chasms in many places.

The light was truly a harbinger of death and destruction.

Aldrian could adjust the beam’s range, and at this moment he made it quite long because he wanted to make sure he could kill every devil in this place.

He kept swinging at the escaping devils, but his main targets were still the strongest devils. That was why his swings were focused on them. The axe devil, the sword devil, and the hammer devil had already flown far away, but his light could still reach them.

The beam of light reached the hammer devil and killed him instantly. However, when Aldrian tried to strike the other two, he saw their silhouettes disappear. Aldrian knew that they had likely already escaped using escape talismans or other means.

He did not look disappointed. Instead, he continued swinging his sword and killed the rest of the devils.

Only after more than twenty seconds of continuous swinging did he finally wipe out the devil troops, leaving only the two devils who had escaped. Aldrian stopped Pillar of Heaven’s Judgment, and the beam of light disappeared.

There was no movement within his sight, and after he was sure that nothing remained to strike, he inspected the sword in his grasp. This was only one divine-grade sword among many that he possessed from the treasures left behind by his followers.

He only wanted to check the condition of the sword after making it bear the power of his domain and unleashing the longest Pillar of Heaven’s Judgment he had ever unleashed. The sword was still in good condition, and he nodded to himself.

As expected of a divine-grade artifact, especially one created by his followers, beings from the higher heavens.

He sheathed the sword into its scabbard before storing it in his storage ring. He then looked at the alliance forces below him.

At this moment, everyone below looked at him with almost the same expression. They were truly speechless. They could not comment on anything, and their gazes were fixed on him as if he were a monster. What they had just witnessed was not a battle.

It was annihilation.

No resistance. No hesitation. No prisoners.

It happened quickly, and the devil troops were already annihilated in less than a minute—No, not even half a minute.

A battle that might have taken several minutes, or even an hour depending on their strategy, ended in a one-sided slaughter in not even a full minute.

Patriarch Geodard also looked at Aldrian with a gaze full of shock. But then he finally released a sigh.

’So this is Aldrian the Great, truly befitting his title.’

That strike just now was already far more powerful than a peak pseudo immortal stage full power attack. The power contained within that golden beam was enough to easily annihilate anything, even pseudo immortal cultivators.

There was also the matter that such a technique should drain an enormous amount of energy, enough to instantly empty a cultivator’s dantian. They would normally enter a phase of weakness because of the depleted energy.

However, from what he saw in Aldrian, he did not seem tired at all. His complexion was still fresh, and his body showed no signs of weakness. It was as if he had merely unleashed a normal technique that did not require much energy.

’Wait, before that, is such a technique even possible? How could he unleash such a terrifying technique? Even I don’t think a peak pseudo immortal stage cultivator could unleash a technique like that, as their energy would be depleted fast enough that they could not even hold it for three seconds,’ he thought.

’Just how much energy can Aldrian the Great store inside his dantian? Is his dantian like an abyss or something, allowing his energy reservoir to store so much energy? But he is still at the middle pseudo immortal establishment stage?!’

’And did he not receive any backlash or anything after unleashing that?’ His mind seemed to start malfunctioning as he felt his understanding of cultivation flip at this moment.

The same thoughts also appeared in the mind of his brother, Alric, who still had his mouth open in shock before finally closing it and letting out a sigh. He then looked at Patriarch Geodard.

"Brother, it looks like hope is still not lost. It seems that the prophecy is true and points toward Aldrian the Great," he said through voice transmission.
