Chapter 158: Continuous Annihilation
「Th-this… how was this power possible…」
The Ancestor of Heavenly Blood felt this unprecedented power, and when facing it directly, the suffocating sensation filled his heart.
He then watched helplessly as all kinds of defensive methods he possessed were crushed and destroyed as if rotting wood.
Even the Tribulation he faced during his breakthrough into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm paled in comparison to this.
「Was he truly a Golden Core Immortal?」
「A Golden Core possessing the power of an Immortal…」
The Ancestor of Heavenly Blood trembled uncontrollably as he stared at the figure within the massive explosion.
If Li Tianwei knew what the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood was thinking, he would likely reply: 「Golden Core Immortal, abbreviated as Golden Immortal—Golden Immortal is also an Immortal, so that’s fine.」
「No… I cannot die… I still have a chance… I can still be reborn from a single drop of blood…」
Facing death, the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood was far less calm than he imagined himself to be. In his heart, he still held onto a sliver of hope.
「Rebirth from a drop of blood… what cannot kill me will only make me stronger…」
The Ancestor of Heavenly Blood thought silently, letting the erupting power engulf him. Soon, under this power, his physical body completely shattered, and death arrived.
As always, the System reached out to harvest him. Yet the moment it grasped him, it discovered that the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood’s soul was gone—completely nonexistent.
【What is going on? No soul? Was he not killed?】
Seeing this, the System made its judgment and then looked toward Li Tianwei, seeing the calm and carefree expression on his face.
【He must have noticed it too.】
【The other guys in the city still need to be collected.】
With that thought finished, the System continued carrying out the tasks Li Tianwei assigned to it.
On the other side, the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood, who had revived through his essence blood, felt darkness cover his vision just before being annihilated—and then he saw light again.
「I succeeded… I survived…」
The Ancestor of Heavenly Blood couldn’t help but shout with excitement.
But in his excitement, he completely failed to notice that he had already been anchored long ago.
Especially from the moment he had been enveloped by the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity, he had already been marked and selected.
Meanwhile, Li Tianwei—amid the explosion of the Nascent Soul—also sensed a trace of aura affected by his Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity, appearing in that direction.
Without a doubt, it belonged to someone who had escaped from here. Seeing this, Li Tianwei shook his head.
「Why bother running? Submit to me! Enter my banner—I will help you turn from evil to good, would that not be nice?」
Li Tianwei sighed softly and waved his hand.
Ever since experiencing the Same-Origin Connection among the Evil Demons, he had discovered the power of the mind—the invisible method of extension and connection.
Naturally, he would not let such a method slip by, so he thoroughly improved it.
He integrated this ability into the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity. With this, he would hold suppressive advantage against some troublesome beings.
For example, certain fellows who could continuously revive and remain undying—this method could restrain them.
And now was precisely the moment for its application.
「Go.」
With Li Tianwei’s simple command, the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity activated. The power of the Nascent Soul detonation rushed across worlds following its aura.
Boom—just as the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood regained consciousness, he sensed a thread of death rushing toward him.
「Not good! This is—」
Before his rebirth even completed, the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood was struck once again, and then he revived once more.
Boom—the attack arrived again.
「No… no… this can’t…」
The Ancestor of Heavenly Blood died within destruction again and again, revived only to die once more, until his method of resurrection through essence blood was completely annihilated.
At that moment, his final death arrived.
And at that same moment, Li Tianwei snatched at the air.
The soul of the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood appeared in Li Tianwei’s hand.
「For you to be affected by my Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity, you must indeed possess a heart willing to change. To let you simply die would be too cruel. So enter my banner, strive for Merit, and serve my strength.」
「Good.」
Li Tianwei looked down at the nearly unconscious Ancestor of Heavenly Blood in his hand as he spoke.
When the single word “good” fell, for some unknown reason, the world fell silent.
With the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood dealt with, the assault this time finally had its result.
Of course, it was not exactly a good outcome—due to the Nascent Soul explosion, even though the Scripture of Supreme Virtue and Radiant Purity mitigated it, the people below in West-Ling City were unharmed, but he still needed to clean up afterwards.
Just like he did previously in Panshan City. Beyond that, there were still those fellows.
According to the information learned from Lin Xiaoyu, West-Ling City wasn’t the only place that experienced this massacre—there were dozens of cities that had taken part in this so-called “celebration.” How could Li Tianwei possibly let that go?
Thinking of this, Li Tianwei clenched his fist.
「Purge. They must all be purged.」
「Aren’t you all the ones who love the law of the strong the most? Even treating ordinary people like livestock?」
「Then now—can I not treat you the same way?」
「In that case, don’t start screaming.」
Li Tianwei grinned, showing a vicious expression he had never shown before.
Behind him, the System—after collecting all kinds of souls from West-Ling City and gathering the ordinary people—controlled the Saint Soul Banner and brought it to Li Tianwei’s side.
That Saint Soul Banner, rumbling with black mist, had once again increased severalfold in power.
Li Tianwei tossed the soul of the Ancestor of Heavenly Blood into it.
With two Union Realm cultivators, three Out-of-Body cultivators, and the two Heart Demons he refined from the Forbidden Land of Taixu, the Saint Soul Banner rose in power again.
「Not bad.」
Seeing the banner flawlessly completing the task assigned to it under the System’s control, Li Tianwei praised.
【It’s nothing really!】
Hearing the praise, the System froze for a moment, and then its voice carried a strange mechanical stutter.
【Pah! I can’t be like this. I am a System—how can I be happy just because someone praised me? I must remain aloof.】
The System immediately berated itself internally.
As for the System’s inner thoughts, Li Tianwei couldn’t be bothered to know them.
Very soon, Li Tianwei grabbed the Saint Soul Banner and flew forward.
Meanwhile, in another region, the terrifying commotion of Li Tianwei’s Nascent Soul explosion had already spread far and wide.
That sudden light which illuminated the skies, the scene like a second sun, and that massive cluster of energy—
In a world of cultivation, so long as a cultivator had even a bit of Divine Sense and was not too far away, they all sensed it.
「That power—did some mysterious treasure emerge? Or has a secret realm surfaced?」
「Or is someone fighting over there?」
「That direction is West-Ling City…」
The stationed members of the Sacred Land of Lingxu—those who had cooperated with Lin Xiaoyu—were all among the strongest of their respective regions, and naturally sensed such a transformation.
Every cultivator felt restless, itching to investigate.
But the power erupting from that place was simply far too terrifying—the extreme radiance, the white light, was no longer dazzling. At that moment, it felt like the heavens were falling.
