Projection of the Heavens: I prove my immortality through slaughter.

Thunderous Purgatory descends from the heavens!

That was not simple lightning, but a sea of ​​laws formed by countless lightning bolts with different attributes, containing complex laws such as destruction, burning, annihilation, and vitality (Yi Wood lightning also contains vitality, but too much of a good thing is bad)!

Crimson, silver, black, cyan... lightning of various colors intertwined to form a destructive spectacle. Wherever it passed, space was torn apart by countless fine black cracks, emitting mournful cries of unbearable strain, as if the entire sky was about to be completely shattered by this violent power.

Lei Yi hovered in the center of the Thunder Prison, his four pairs of thunder wings fully unfurled, resonating with the entire Thunder Prison. He was the ruler of this world of thunder! His silver eyes were filled with absolute confidence and ruthlessness.

In his view, no matter how strange the methods of this alien demon were, under the crushing force of absolute power and law, it could only turn into ashes!

Below, even with Lin Xuan's barrier protecting them, the people of the Rock Tribe could still feel the terrifying pressure transmitted through the barrier, as if their souls were being torn apart. Their faces turned pale, and their palms, which were tightly gripping their weapons, were covered in cold sweat.

The old priest Cang held his breath, his cloudy eyes fixed on the purple-gold figure standing on the altar, facing the might of heaven.

Faced with this devastating inferno of thunder, Lin Xuan's projected avatar moved.

He didn't use any complicated spells or summon any powerful magical artifacts. He simply raised his right hand slowly, his index and middle fingers joined together, pointing towards the boundless sea of ​​thunder pouring down.

The instant he raised his hand, the flawless, purplish-gold Daoist aura surrounding him suddenly receded, as if all the light and all the energy had been compressed into his joined fingertips. An indescribable stillness and nothingness, seemingly from the end of the universe, began to emanate from his fingertips.

It formed an extreme contrast with the noisy, violent, and dazzling thunderous inferno.

"I will bury your thunder with my own way."

Lin Xuan's voice was calm and even, yet it carried an absolute will that seemed to pronounce judgment.

"Starry Sky - Annihilation Finger".

When one point is made, all things fall silent!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling brilliance.

Only a faint, almost transparent gray fingertip energy, seemingly formed from countless shattered stars and the void of nothingness, quietly shot out from his fingertip.

This finger strike was so insignificant, as small as a speck of dust compared to the overwhelming inferno of lightning. Yet, wherever it passed, it left behind a trail of absolute nothingness! Within this trail, light distorted and vanished, sound was utterly annihilated, and even the very concept of space seemed to be erased, leaving only the most essential emptiness and nothingness!

The violent lightning, containing various laws of destruction, was not shattered or neutralized the moment it touched the gray finger force. Instead, it was as if it had encountered its nemesis. The laws and energy forms contained within it instantly collapsed and dissipated, reverting to the most primitive and meaningless energy particles, which were then completely swallowed and assimilated by the "nothingness" trajectory!

The force of the fingers flows upward against the current, like a red-hot iron cutting into solidified butter, invincible!

The crimson lightning of heaven-burning was extinguished! The silvery-white lightning of slaying evil was annihilated! The pitch-black lightning of annihilation returned to nothingness! The azure lightning of the Wood element was extinguished!

Where the finger strikes, thunderbolts scatter and laws vanish!

The thunderous inferno that covered the sky was actually "plowed" out of its entirety by this subtle gray finger force, creating a wide, empty void passage! The passage pointed straight towards Thunder Wing, located at the center of the inferno!

"What?!"

Lei Yi's confidence and coldness froze instantly, turning into boundless horror and disbelief! He felt his connection with Lei Yu being forcibly severed by a higher and more fundamental Daoist aura of "annihilation"! The power contained in that gray finger energy seemed to be the end of all "existence," even the violent form of "existence" like thunder would come to an end before it!

"Impossible! I am the son of the Thunder God, born with innate thunder! How could I be defeated by a projection!" Thunder Wing roared in shock and anger, frantically urging his bloodline divine power, trying to mobilize more thunder power, and even drawing upon a trace of the original thunder power belonging to the innate god and demon Thunder God clan hidden deep in his bloodline!

More, darker, and more terrifying lightning bolts converged on him from all directions, attempting to block the seemingly slow but unavoidable Annihilation Finger Force!

However, it was all in vain.

The Annihilation Finger Force, like a pronouncement of fate, ignored all energy barriers and pierced through layers of lightning defenses. Its target, from beginning to end, was only one—the core of Thunder Wing's origin!

Just as his fingertip was about to touch Lei Yi's brow, Lin Xuan's mind stirred slightly.

"Faith, ignite!"

In an instant, the hundreds of tribesmen of the Rock Tribe below erupted with an unprecedentedly fervent light of faith! That pure and vast torrent of faith seemed to have received a supreme summons, no longer merely nourishing the Golden Core, but transforming into a golden rainbow bridge spanning heaven and earth, instantly crossing space and pouring into Lin Xuan's projected avatar, and even more precisely merging into that "Starry Sky Annihilation Finger"!

With the blessing of this pure faith power that originates from the soul and contains "hope", "new life" and "absolute trust", the originally gray and silent finger force was suddenly plated with a layer of dazzling gold edge!

In the midst of annihilation, a trace of the true meaning of "judgment," catalyzed by absolute faith, was born, ending all things!

Power increased dramatically!

"No--!!!"

Lei Yi let out a desperate and unwilling roar, feeling a real crisis of imminent demise! He desperately burned his essence blood, even at the cost of damaging his own origin, to set up barriers in front of him made of primordial lightning power, strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator!

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"

Like piercing through layers of thin paper, the golden-edged Annihilation Finger Force, with unstoppable force, pierced through all barriers one after another, and finally, in the reflection of Lei Yi's silver pupils filled with extreme fear, it gently touched the center of his brow.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The violent lightning around Lei Yi subsided instantly, his expanding lightning wings froze in mid-air, and the light in his eyes dimmed and went out like a candle in the wind.

The next moment, his towering, three-zhang-tall divine and demonic body, starting from the point between his eyebrows, silently transformed into the finest purple light spots, like a sand sculpture being weathered, disintegrating inch by inch and dissipating into the world.

There was no explosion, no bloodshed, only the most complete... return to nothingness.

Lei Yi, the divine son of the Lei Ze clan, is at the late Nascent Soul stage and possesses innate divine and demonic bloodline.

Fallen!

silence.

A deathly silence enveloped the entire battlefield.

The Fire Lizard King's lava giant axe froze in mid-air, the shadow around the Shadow Demon leader twisted and rippled violently, and all the elite servants of the gods and demons seemed to have their necks grabbed, their ferocious smiles and killing intent completely frozen, leaving only boundless fear and bewilderment.

The people of the Rock Tribe stared blankly at the sky, watching the arrogant divine child vanish like dust, and the terrifying lightning prison that shrouded the sky slowly dissipate, as sunlight once again shone upon the earth.

He won? The Xuan Tian Divine Lord…won? God-slaying?!

An immense sense of ecstasy and unparalleled awe washed over everyone like a tsunami!

After unleashing this finger strike that surpassed the limits, Lin Xuan's projected avatar dimmed considerably, but his movements did not falter in the slightest. Where Lei Yi's body had been completely annihilated, a fist-sized ball of light, resembling liquid amethyst, remained, containing endless lightning flashes and radiating the purest essence of lightning, along with a more subtle purple bloodline aura imbued with innate Daoist principles.

Lei Yi's Thunder Dao Origin and the Essence of Innate Divine and Demonic Bloodline!

Lin Xuan used his divine sense to collect the two spoils of war. The Thunder Dao Origin was of great benefit to his understanding of the Thunder Law, while the bloodline essence was the key to glimpsing the mysteries of innate gods and demons!

His indifferent gaze swept over the terrified servants of gods and demons below.

"roll."

A single word, like a thunderclap, resounded deep within the souls of the Fire Lizard King, the Shadow Demon Leader, and other survivors.

They trembled violently, not daring to linger for even a moment. Like stray dogs, they didn't dare utter a single harsh word. Filled with endless fear, they transformed into streaks of light and fled in panic, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

The sun completely dispelled the dark clouds, shining on the dilapidated but resilient Rock Tribe, and on every survivor whose face was filled with fervor and tears.

Lin Xuan's projected avatar slowly descended and landed on the altar. He felt the ocean of faith, which had become even more turbulent and almost tangible due to his heroic act of killing the god, and he closed his eyes slightly.

The first battle to slay the god has come to an end.

And from that moment on, his karmic ties with the innate god and demon, Lei Ze, became an irreconcilable conflict.
