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

The skeletal giant in the center, standing eight hundred meters tall, had its deep blue ghost fire pulsating violently within its chest cavity.

The giant let out a thunderous roar, and suddenly raised his thick arms, crossing them over his chest.

Countless black void chains erupted from its body, rapidly weaving into a shield a hundred meters thick in front of it.

On the left and right sides, the demonic crocodile and the skeletal ferocious bird also poured all their power into it.

Bone spikes and gray feathers peeled off, adhering to the shield's surface like a torrential rain.

But all of this seemed meaningless in the face of the crimson power of the world.

clang--

That shield was formed by the combined power of three peak eighth-order beings, whose strength was approaching that of the ninth order.

Cracks burst open on the shield like a spider web.

Click!

The hundred-meter-thick void shield shattered instantly, turning into countless black specks of light.

"retreat……"

Luo Shui stared blankly at the devastating scene before her, her voice filled with disbelief.

Then she suddenly realized what was happening, opened the light blue protective shield, and shielded the people beneath her.

The shockwave swept across.

The blade's edge pierced through the shield, its momentum undiminished, and slashed fiercely into the skeletal giant's body.

The destructive attribute inherent in 【World Destruction - Divine Punishment】 completely erupted at this moment.

Those sturdy bones that had endured for millennia shattered the moment they came into contact with the blade.

At the same time, the crimson power of the world enveloped the three-headed monster.

It was as if a crimson world had descended, with the crimson clouds transforming into a tangible killing intent.

Crimson lightning intertwined deep within the clouds like dense tree roots.

The three enormous void beasts, whose auras were nearly at the ninth rank, were completely suppressed by this terrifying power.

The skeletal giant desperately urged the Netherfire within its chest cavity, attempting to tear the bindings apart with the Void Chains.

The chains had barely extended half an inch from the body when they snapped inch by inch under the crimson light.

The Void Crocodile on the left opened its blood-red maw, purple light flashing deep in its throat, and energy was forced back into its body by this vast power.

The ferocious bird on the right, with a wingspan of three thousand meters, resembled a flying insect encased in amber. Its enormous bony wings maintained a flapping posture, yet not a single feather could tremble.

The overwhelming power of their attack prevented them from even self-destructing.

In this crimson world, Shen Tian wielded the God of Annihilation's Punishment, appearing as a god who controlled the birth and death of all things.

Edge of the graben.

Luo Shui hid beneath the tattered protective barrier, looking up at the scene.

The light blue hem of the palace dress fluttered in the air.

"Your Highness...am I dreaming?"

The captain of the Canglan Guard swallowed hard.

"What level of skill is this? Those three-headed monsters are close to the ninth rank!"

Luo Shui gasped for breath, a bitter smile appearing on her beautiful face.

Clearly, she didn't understand what was happening before her eyes.

Even the strongest being in the Hundred Rivers Kingdom, King Canglan, had never used such methods.

Luo Shui's voice was hoarse, and her eyes reflected the blood-red light filling the sky.

She stared at the tall, slender figure in dark red, her mind in turmoil.

The Hundred Rivers Kingdom has spent countless resources to cultivate these so-called prodigies, who still have to be careful and form teams when facing seventh-tier monsters.

But this young man from the Dragon Kingdom was all alone and treated the ninth rank as nothing.

This insurmountable gap makes it impossible for anyone to even muster the courage to catch up.

Before they could even react.

Click—!

The crisp sound, like shattering glass, echoed across the empty wasteland, drowning out the howling of the storm.

The sound originated from the bodies of the three enormous beasts.

The crimson projection of the sky slowly pressed down upon them.

Within the dense, blood-red clouds, hundreds and thousands of crimson lightning bolts, like wildly dancing dragons, tore through the air and struck the three-headed beasts fiercely.

These lightning bolts were not the usual laws of thunder.

They are the manifestations of destruction formed from the red light that tainted the small world within Shen Tian's body.

Each bolt of lightning is formed from the power of the world and possesses endless destructive power.

Boom boom boom boom—!

The dense explosions rang out in one continuous burst, deafeningly loud.

The 800-meter-tall skeletal giant was the first to succumb to this overwhelming, dimensional-reducing pressure.

Its ribcage, with its sturdy skeleton woven from void chains, turned to dust the instant it touched the crimson lightning, just like dry firewood weathered for millennia.

"roar--"

The skeletal giant let out a mournful howl.

The deep blue ghost fire inside his chest cavity, which was originally a hundred meters in size, shrank violently under the influence of the crimson light and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Lightning spread along the giant's limbs and bones.

The bone spikes on the Void Crocodile's back, shimmering with a dark purple light, peeled away layer by layer under the strangulation of the crimson electric net.

Large swathes of bones turned into black ash, which drifted down from mid-air.

The skeletal bird's enormous bone wings were simultaneously pierced by more than a dozen crimson lightning bolts.

The void matter, like snowflakes encountering boiling water, hissed and evaporated rapidly.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye.

It didn't even last three seconds.

The three-headed monster that once made the entire world change color and was infinitely close to the ninth rank has already turned into ashes.

Completely destroying everything in its path.

Unstoppable momentum.

A crack ten thousand meters long appeared in mid-air.

Endless darkness was revealed inside, greedily devouring everything around it.

That suffocating ninth-order pressure vanished without a trace.

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, only Shen Tian's figure remained standing.

The God of Annihilation's Punishment was lowered in his hand, and dark red bloodline patterns slowly moved along its black blade.

In the distance, at the edge of the graben.

Below the light blue protective shield.

Luo Shui tilted her head back, her aquamarine eyes reflecting the countless crimson specks of light.

An unparalleled and breathtaking experience.

"He...died?"

The combined pressure of those three monsters made it impossible for these seventh-level martial artists to even stand.

But that man only used one knife.

That was a cool move.

"What level of power is that...?"

Another Canglan Guard muttered to himself, his teeth chattering.

"He even shattered the surrounding space..."

The Luo River remained silent.

She bit her lip, staring at the dark red figure from behind.

The ancient records of Baichuan Kingdom contain countless astonishing methods used by powerful ancient beings.

There are sword immortals whose swords can chill fourteen provinces with a single stroke, and martial gods whose punches can shatter stars.

But those are just descriptions in words.

And now.

She saw it with her own eyes.

A living myth unfolded less than a kilometer away from her.

Outside, on Earth.

There was a deathly silence in front of all the broadcast screens.

A good ten seconds or so passed.

The barrage of comments then flooded the screen like a burst dam, completely taking over the entire display.
