I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

The Heavenly Punishment Blade was thrust forward.

The dark purple blade pierced through Yuan Sha's brow in an instant.

The annihilating attribute of the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, which is specifically designed to counter evil spirits, exploded violently in Yuan Sha's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Ugh—!"

With a piercing scream, Yuan Sha's nearly three-meter-tall dark red body suddenly stiffened.

His seven demonic marks, which he was so proud of, crumbled inch by inch under the impact of the lightning. Before the dark purple demonic blood could even gush out, it was forcibly erased by the spatial collapse power of the True Meaning of the Void.

The massive body, like a meteorite that had lost its momentum, plummeted towards the Black Abyss Rift below, where dark red magma still lingered.

Just as the life force of the Abyss was completely extinguished, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang out in Shen Tian's mind.

[Ding! Slayed Yuan Sha, a mid-stage Abyss Royal creature with Seven Demon Marks, gaining 50000 Kill Points.]

[Would you like to consume 10 kill points to plunder the orange-tier talent, Myriad Realms Calamity Flame?]

Shen Tian hovered five thousand meters in the air, the howling wind sweeping over his tattered, pure black armor.

Upon hearing the notification tone, his pupils contracted sharply.

Orange talent!

This was the first orange talent he had obtained through plunder, unlike other orange talents which were acquired through upgrades.

Shen Tian had previously encountered a sixth-order Beast King and a seventh-order Purple Spirit Clan member.

However, none of them possess orange-tier talents.

Only the Abyss Clan's Abyss Sha possesses it.

This alone is enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of his bloodline.

"plunder."

Shen Tian gave the order in his mind.

[Looting successful, consuming 100,000 kill points.]

Congratulations on obtaining the orange-tier talent: Myriad Realms Calamity Flame

[Rank: Orange]

[Entry Description: You are no longer the master of the flames; you are the igniter of the end of all things. You possess the calamity fire that will burn the heavens. Before this calamity fire, no matter can be considered unburnt.]

[The Temperature of Burning Stars: You have mastered the power of fire, and your base flame temperature has exceeded 100,000 degrees Celsius.]

[The Undying Mark of Calamity: Targets struck by the Calamity Flame will be marked with a Calamity Mark. Unless you actively withdraw it, or the target's life essence is completely burned to nothingness, the Calamity Flame will forever adhere to the target and burn.]

[Origin Fire Devouring: Your Calamity Flame can devour all energy in the world, converting it into your own primal reserves.]

【Crown Lotus of Karmic Flames: Consumes a massive amount of Qi and spiritual energy to bloom a ten-thousand-foot-long crimson lotus composed of calamity flames in a designated area. The day the crimson lotus blooms is the day all life and spatial laws within that area return to nothingness.】

A dark golden flame suddenly ignited deep within Shen Tian's sea of ​​consciousness.

That was a power ten times more domineering than the Devouring Demon Flame of the Abyss.

Shen Tian opened his right hand, and a wisp of dark golden flame danced in his palm.

The surrounding air was instantly burned into a visible black hole the moment it came into contact with the flame.

There was no scorching heat, only a terrifying oppressive force that seemed to ignite even the soul.

"What an overbearing talent."

Shen Tian stared at the Calamity Flame in his palm.

Although Yuan Sha's Devouring Demon Flame is powerful, it is still only at the level of energy burning.

However, the [Flame of Myriad Realms] has already touched upon the very nature of the laws.

With this talent, his area-of-effect attacks and sustained destructive power will experience a qualitative leap.

However, the true essence of martial arts did not appear this time.

It's likely that the Boundless Scripture of Senluo has reached its limit and needs to be further improved in terms of cultivation progress.

Only then can it carry more of the true meaning of martial arts.

There's no rush now.

Shen Tian retracted the Garuda Wings on his back, and his figure transformed into a black streak of light, swooping down towards the bottom of the Black Abyss Rift.

He stopped about 100 meters above the ground.

The mangled corpse of Abysscha lay silently on the charred rocks.

The dark gold armor, which was said to be invincible among its peers, was now covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and a huge gash had been cut into its chest by the Heavenly Punishment Blade.

Beside the corpse, the ten-meter-long Hellfire Trident, having lost its master's energy infusion, was emitting a dim, eerie purple halo.

Shen Tian used his mental power to collect the armor fragments and the trident.

After doing all this, he looked down at his equipment.

The pure black Black Dragon Nano Armor is now in a semi-destroyed state.

The armor on his left arm shattered completely when it took Yuan Sha's knee strike head-on, and the nanostructures on his chest and legs lost their activity due to the excessive high-intensity impacts.

Even with its ability to absorb metal and repair itself, restoring it to its original state still requires a large amount of rare ores and time.

What Shen Tian cared about even more was the Heavenly Punishment Battle Blade in his hand.

This top-grade spiritual weapon, upgraded from an S-class weapon, has a deep dark purple blade.

However, at this moment, a chip the size of a grain of rice appeared in the middle of the blade.

Shen Tian stretched out his finger and gently stroked the cut.

The Heavenly Punishment Battle Blade is made of deep-sea sunken silver iron essence combined with the spine of a fifth-tier peak Earth-Splitting Demon Bear, and forged with extraterrestrial meteorite iron essence, making it far more durable than ordinary sixth-tier weapons.

But in the battle just now, Shen Tian compressed the extreme weight of the [Ten Thousand Jun True Intent] and the spatial collapse power of the [Great Void True Intent] onto the blade at the same time, and unleashed that three thousand-meter-long Demon-Slaying Slash.

The material of the blade itself could no longer bear his increasingly terrifying martial arts essence and physical strength.

If the high-intensity battle continues, this top-grade spiritual weapon could break completely at any time.

"The sixth-tier material has finally reached its limit."

Shen Tian muttered to himself softly.

His current power amplification is dozens of times, and with the fifty times the physical density of the [Ancient Divine Elephant], every move he makes carries a terrifying power capable of destroying cities and fortresses.

Ordinary top-grade spiritual weapons simply cannot withstand this level of power infusion.

He needs stronger weapons and more robust armor.

Shen Tian's gaze fell on the dark gold fragments and the jet-black trident in the storage space.

This exclusive equipment comes from the royal family of the abyss. Its material contains special metals from the endless world and the power of the abyss. Its sturdiness is even enough to withstand his Heavenly Punishment Battle Blade, which is infused with the true meaning of martial arts.

"The materials used in the Abyss Royal Family's equipment are quite good; they'll be perfect for upgrading Heavenly Punishment and the battle armor."

At the same time, a memory of the Abyss appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Passive ability from [Abyss Observer].

Beneath the pure black mask, Shen Tian's gaze became more solemn than ever before.

"Endless World... Abyss Clan."

He muttered to himself.

Through Yuan Sha's memories, Shen Tian finally glimpsed a small part of the vast world.

Beyond Earth, there exists a vast dimension called the "Endless World".

The Endless World is a world that is infinitely vast and without end.

The Abyss Clan is one of the powerful civilizations in the endless world.

They are not a single race, but a civilization composed of Kokang people.

At the top of the pyramid of the Abyss Clan, they share a common faith in the ancient gods.

The Abyss Royal Court, where Yuan Sha resides, is merely a direct lineage under the command of the ancient gods.

The Abyss Clan is inherently greedy and tyrannical.

They do not engage in production; their only means of survival is plunder.

The Abyss Clan frequently tears apart dimensional barriers to invade other relatively weaker dimensions.

Slaughtering living beings and devouring the very essence of the world.

They will only look for their next target after they have completely drained a plane of existence, turning it into a desolate wasteland.

In Yuan Sha's memories, Shen Tian saw countless worlds like Blue Star, which were reduced to ashes by the flames of war in the abyss.

The Abyss Civilization is extremely powerful, with countless subordinate races under its command.

The race to which Yuancha belongs is the true successor of the Abyss Civilization.

Therefore, they are known as the "Royal Family of the Abyss".

"I see."

No wonder when Yuancha descended upon Earth, he kept calling them "inferior beings."

In the eyes of the Abyss Clan, Blue Star was nothing more than a delicious prey whose coordinates had just been exposed.

Yuan Sha was merely a minor descendant of the Abyss Royal Court.

In order to complete the so-called "coming-of-age ceremony", he secretly crossed the spatial rift to come to Earth, attempting to sacrifice millions of living beings.

What if it's an adult member of the Abyss royal family?

Even... the so-called ancient gods?
