Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

His bloodshot gaze swept over his pale-faced, shifty-eyed allies, some even showing signs of retreat. His voice, like a poisoned icicle, delivered a stern warning:

"Don't forget, we have no way out! From the moment we stood on this battlefield, our fate was sealed! Today, either Hades will perish, or all of us will be annihilated! Anyone who dares to harbor any illusions, hold back in battle, or attempt to escape, I, the commander, will wipe out their entire clan before Hades even lift a finger!"

These ruthless words, without any mercy, were like ice water poured over the heads of the powerful figures in the dead of winter, causing them to shiver and instantly extinguish any remaining hope in their hearts.

They finally understood that what Marshal Phoenix said was cruel and true.

Having chosen to stand against Hades, with the methods of a Nebula Body supreme being, there is absolutely no way they will let these rebels go.

At this moment, only by risking everything and fighting to the death can we perhaps seize that slim chance of survival in this seemingly hopeless situation.

While cursing the Phoenix Marshal and his ancestors for eighteen generations for dragging them into this abyss countless times in their hearts, they dared not hesitate any longer and activated their supernatural power locks with all their might, recklessly detonating the core supernatural energy within their bodies.

In an instant, the plain, which had been shrouded in darkness by the oppressive power of the Xuanming Nebula, suddenly shone brightly, as if countless stars had lit up at the same time.

One after another, super beasts of various shapes and sizes, each radiating powerful energy fluctuations, appeared, their roars and hisses rising and falling.

The black panther is agile, the ferocious python is menacing, the giant crocodile is savage...

The accumulated strength of the major clans in the underworld over countless years was now forced to reveal itself without reservation.

With the powerful energy boost from the Super Beast Armor, they were able to barely withstand the terrifying pressure of the Xuanming Nebula, which was all-pervasive and reached the very essence of their souls. Although they still felt as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs, they at least regained their basic mobility and attack capabilities.

Marshal Phoenix's super beast weapon transformed into a majestic and magnificent phoenix-feathered beast, surrounded by raging flames, and was extraordinary.

His anxious gaze swept quickly across the battlefield, landing on Phoenix, who was lurking at the edge of the formation and hadn't made a move yet. He gave Phoenix an extremely stern look, full of pressure and urging.

Without waiting any longer, he took the initiative to activate the Phoenix Clan's inherited ultimate technique: "Illusory Heaven Technique!"

The blazing phoenix flames soared into the sky, transforming into countless illusory and real fire phantoms. Each phantom contained terrifyingly high temperatures capable of incinerating everything, carrying a destructive aura. Like a meteor shower, they rushed towards the majestic, star-like Xuanming Nebula.

Seeing this, the other powerful individuals also knew that the moment of life and death had arrived, so they gritted their teeth and roared, unleashing their ultimate techniques.

In an instant, a colorful yet extremely dangerous torrent of energy, an elemental storm tearing through space, and a spiritual shock that struck directly at the very core of the soul...

Various powerful and terrifying attacks erupted from the hands of each strongman, eventually converging into a destructive wave that could eclipse the color of heaven and earth and disrupt the laws of nature, surging overwhelmingly towards the giant that seemed to be constructed from stars.

This power, a combined force of nearly half of the top experts in the Underworld, is terrifying beyond imagination, capable of annihilating stars and tearing apart star fields in an instant!

If this place weren't Earth, a special planet that serves as the core of the seven parallel universes and is stabilized by the fundamental power of world consciousness, with an extremely resilient spatial structure, the aftershocks of this attack would likely have already triggered a large-scale spatial collapse, even affecting surrounding star systems and creating an apocalyptic scene.

However, faced with this terrifying combined attack that could instantly drive any non-ultimate powerhouse to despair and completely annihilate ordinary galactic civilizations, Qin Chuan, located at the core of the Xuanming Nebula, remained as calm and undisturbed as a deep well.

He didn't even make any big movements, just a slight thought.

Xuanming Xingyun's arm, seemingly composed of countless swirling stars, slowly rose, and a gigantic energy palm, capable of blotting out the sky, materialized out of thin air. Within its palm, it seemed as if a river of stars flowed, and the universe was born and destroyed.

He casually extended his hand forward to block, his posture as relaxed as if he were merely brushing away the dust in front of him.

"Om-!"

A devastating surge of energy crashed violently against the enormous stellar hand with earth-shattering force. The expected earth-shattering explosion did not occur; instead, it emitted a deep and grand hum.

An attack powerful enough to destroy the world crashed against an ancient reef like a raging wave. Apart from stirring up a sky full of dazzling energy fragments that were as brilliant as fireworks but even more despairing, it failed to shake the palm in the slightest!

Qin Chuan did not rush to retaliate. Instead, he observed with great interest, through the Xuanming Nebula, the energy flow, the application of laws, and the essence of the inheritance of each race contained in these attacks.

These unique skills, each a treasured secret of its respective ethnic group, embody the wisdom and dedication of their ancestors throughout history, each possessing its own unique and exquisite aspects.

If this knowledge were to be completely lost with the passing of these people, it would be a loss from the perspective of knowledge transmission.

He harbored some thoughts of learning from, analyzing, and collecting these insights, considering them an extra gain from this battle.

When Marshal Phoenix and the others saw their all-out attack blocked so easily, they were terrified and filled with horror. However, seeing that Xuanming Xingyun only defended and did not immediately retaliate, they developed a fatal misconception.

Hades was "restrained" by their combined attack! Perhaps, there is still hope for the plan to succeed!

But at this critical moment, the most crucial link, the "surprise weapon" they had placed their hopes on—the Phoenix—still showed no signs of life.

Marshal Phoenix was extremely anxious, feeling as if he were being roasted over a fire. He once again transmitted his voice through some secret soul link, his voice filled with undisguised urgency and utter pressure:

"Phoenix! My daughter! What are you waiting for?! Now! Attack! If you hesitate even a moment longer, we will all die without a burial place, and the entire Phoenix Clan will be annihilated by the King of the Underworld's wrath, never to be reborn!"

Hearing her father's desperate and compelling urging, the phoenix, standing on the edge of the energy storm, trembled violently.

She took a deep breath, as if to suppress all her hesitation, struggle, guilt towards her people, and fear of the future, and her eyes finally became resolute.

The pink figure suddenly moved, transforming into a stream of light that tore through space, and instantly appeared in front of the core of the Xuanming Nebula where Qin Chuan's main body was located!

"Illusory Heaven Technique!"

A clear yet resolute shout echoed across the battlefield, and the phoenix erupted with unprecedentedly pure phoenix flames.

However, this time, the dazzling phoenix phantom did not attack Qin Chuan. Instead, under her precise control, it rolled upwards, transforming into a magnificent and resilient energy barrier that echoed the starry hand of the Xuanming Nebula, helping Qin Chuan to resist the destructive energy torrent from Marshal Phoenix and his group!

This sudden reversal, this earth-shattering betrayal, left all the powerful figures on the battlefield who witnessed this scene, including their super beast armies, frozen in shock, their minds blank like never before!

"Phoenix! What...what are you doing?!"

Marshal Phoenix's Phoenix Feather Beast let out a heart-wrenching, incredulous roar, causing even his sustained attacks to momentarily freeze and become chaotic, the energy backlash causing his blood to surge.

"You rebellious daughter! Are you going to betray the race that gave you life and raised you, betray your own father?! Have you gone mad?!"

The phoenix raised its head, its veil slightly lifted by the energy storm, revealing its resolute eyes that held endless sorrow.

She shook her head, her voice carrying clearly across the deathly silent battlefield, each word striking a chord in everyone's hearts:

“Father! I am saving the Phoenix Clan! Continuing to follow you and those elders blinded by arrogance down the same dark path, and opposing the Underworld King, will only push the Phoenix Clan into an abyss of no return! The Underworld King has the ability and the will to establish a new and broader order. Why can't we choose to join him and seek a brighter future for our clan, a future of rebirth and glory?”

"You unfilial daughter! Nonsense! What kind of bewitching potion did Hades give you!"

Marshal Phoenix was so angry that his soul trembled, and he almost vomited blood. He simply couldn't understand his daughter's thoughts. He felt that she had been completely bewitched by Hades, betrayed the honor and principles that her clan had upheld for generations, and fallen into unforgivable madness.

Just then, Qin Chuan, who had been silently observing like a god watching over the farce, finally spoke through the Xuanming Nebula, his voice indifferent yet containing a strange sense of amusement:

"Ha, I'm really curious how someone as muddle-headed and stubborn as you could have such a sensible, decisive, and insightful daughter. This is quite an unexpected surprise."

Before the words were finished, Xuanming Xingyun's enormous hand, which was only used for defense, slightly tucked its five fingers inward.

"puff--!"

A muffled sound, like the breath of the universe or the collapse of its laws, was heard.

That terrifying combined energy, which gathered the full power of many strong individuals and was enough to destroy a galaxy, was like a bubble being gently crushed by an invisible and intangible giant hand that contained supreme authority. It didn't even have a chance to struggle before it was completely annihilated and vanished without a trace!

Not even a ripple of energy that should have spread wildly was left behind, as if the earth-shattering attack had never existed.

In that brief moment of "standoff," Qin Chuan had already used his abilities, which far exceeded the comprehension of this world, to analyze and record the mysteries contained in everyone's unique skills.

At this moment, he had completely lost patience to continue playing around.

The enormous hand that seemed to be formed from an endless vortex of stars in the Xuanming Nebula was effortlessly obliterated after the combined attack.

Without the slightest pause, carrying a terrifying shadow that enveloped the entire world, as if the entire starry sea had collapsed and the ancient sky had crumbled, it crashed down upon the super beasts below, who were as insignificant as dust and had now been completely swallowed by despair!

True destruction will come silently and absolutely!

Chapter 13 The Last Stand

The Xuanming Nebula, seemingly formed from the condensation of countless stars, carried the primordial power of the beginning of the universe and slowly pressed down with an unstoppable force.

Before they had even truly touched it, that fear of absolute annihilation, originating from the very source of life, had already gripped the core of the soul of every powerful individual below like a cold shackle.

It was not a simple act of forceful oppression, but a negation originating from a dimensional difference.

It felt as if an entire living, self-willed universe was indifferently pouring down on their small patch of airspace.

The extraordinary energy that individuals painstakingly cultivate and accumulate is so insignificant in the face of this immense power that encompasses the starry sea that it is not even worth mentioning as cosmic dust, and instantly loses all meaning.

"No—! Lord Hades, spare us! We are willing to offer everything, to be your slaves for eternity!"

The few stronger individuals with weaker alien energy couldn't even maintain their Super Beast Armor form. Their armor groaned under the strain and instantly disintegrated into countless points of light.

They collapsed to the ground, their faces ashen, their souls trembling, only able to utter desperate cries and pleas for mercy from the depths of their throats.

Faced with this despairing disparity, any thought of resistance seems so ridiculous and pathetic, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

However, high in the sky, Qin Chuan's eyes remained as cold and unyielding as ice, deep and calm, unmoved by the pleas for mercy.

Since you've chosen to stand on the opposite side, you must be prepared to bear the ultimate consequences.

Mercy is never reserved for the enemy.

The colossal hand that pressed down on the galaxy did not pause in the slightest. It maintained a speed that seemed slow but actually blocked all spacetime evasion routes, pressing down firmly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of muffled sounds, like the explosion of a planet's core, followed.

Those who knelt and begged for mercy, along with the space within a hundred meters around them, seemed to be crushed by an invisible and intangible yet irresistible giant net, and even the space itself showed tiny black cracks.

The next second, their flesh, bones, energy, and even the imprint of their existence were instantly decomposed and annihilated, turning into the most primitive and minute basic particles, completely dissipating into nothingness, dying cleanly without leaving any trace of their existence.

Only the supernatural locks they left behind, under Qin Chuan's precise energy control, seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, floating perfectly in mid-air, shimmering with different lights like epitaphs, telling the story of their former power and present annihilation.

These things are of little use to Qin Chuan, but they are excellent resources and symbols to reward his meritorious subordinates.

"No--!!"

Marshal Phoenix's eyes widened in horror as he let out a roar that was a mixture of immense pain, rage, and disbelief.

He could never have imagined that Hades' power would be so terrifying and completely illogical!

That brief standoff just now was nothing more than the other side's leisurely toying with them!

Why would a supreme being who has just condensed the Nebula Body possess such power that far exceeds his understanding?

This completely overturned his entire understanding of nebular bodies!

But at this moment, the cold touch of death had already gripped his throat.

The instinct for survival, and the last shred of dignity of being a top expert, made Marshal Phoenix and the few remaining clan leaders with slightly stronger abilities squeeze out the deepest potential of their life essence at this moment, unleashing power that surpassed their own limits!

"Gentlemen, let's perish together! Kill!"

Marshal Phoenix roared furiously.

"kill--!"

The Phoenix Feather Beast let out a mournful cry and, along with several other powerful super beasts, burst into flames, unleashing the most intense and dazzling light of its life.

They poured out all their alien energy, even igniting their life cores, to unleash the most brilliant, and destined-to-be-final, blows of their careers!

Several streams of energy, each a different color and capable of tearing apart small planets in an instant, crashed into the descending giant hand of the galaxy like destructive dragons soaring against the heavens!

They dared not hope to defeat the attack, only hoping to hold it off for a moment, even if it was only a fraction of a second, to give them a slim chance to escape!
