Chapter 482: Purge the Transcendence Society (4)
Following closely behind was the Three Elders.
He stood tall in his military uniform, and though his strength was not on par with those beside him, his commanding presence that held the world in his hands made him appear not the least bit inferior. His gaze was sharp as a torch, sweeping over the Transcendence Society members ahead.
Meanwhile, a portion of the top-tier experts who had originally been stationed outside also descended along with the light pillars, quickly dispersing.
They converged with Mo Yuan, Su Zhan, Wang Mingyuan, and the others who had entered first.
Forming an even tighter and more formidable encirclement.
At this point, all the highest-end combat power from the Daxia side participating in this Heavenly Punishment Operation had fully assembled here.
They surrounded the last twenty-plus core members of the Transcendence Society, trapping them deep within the heart of this underground palace.
The balance of power between the two sides formed an overwhelmingly crushing advantage at this moment.
The aura of solemn slaughter was so heavy it made it hard to breathe.
The Three Elders took a step forward, moving slightly ahead of Mo Yuan and Zhang Daoxuan, representing the will of the Daxia official authority:"Transcendence Society! You have acted perversely, taking your own kin as blood sustenance, delighting in slaughter, trampling on human nature, and wreaking havoc upon the nation! Your crimes tower to the heavens, too numerous to inscribe on all the bamboo slips in the world! Today, you have reached the end of the road, with no way to escape!
Considering your cultivation did not come easily, before the final judgment descends, I give you one last chance…
Commit suicide immediately, and you may keep your bodies whole. Your souls might return to heaven and earth, spared the torment of soul refinement!
Otherwise… when our great army crushes over you, we will ensure you… are utterly annihilated in body and soul, never to be reincarnated for all eternity!"
The twenty-plus figures in black robes remained motionless.
"Commit suicide?"
The refined gentleman seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world:
"Just based on you lot… these pitiful insects bound by the shackles of the old era? Just based on your hypocritical benevolence, righteousness, and morality?
We walk at the forefront of evolution.
We embrace the Mist, transcending the mundane.
The old human form is merely a shell that binds us.
Devouring the weak to achieve oneself—this is the eternal, unchanging truth of the universe!
Want to judge us? Want us to commit suicide?
In this world, no one can judge us!
Transcendence Society!"
All the black-robed figures behind him simultaneously erupted with a heaven-shaking, earth-quaking roar.
"Fight to the death!!!"
The roar was deafening.
"BOOM!"
The entire core space was instantly submerged by countless torrents of violent energy.
Spiritual Energy, Mist, destruction, Dao techniques, sword energy, saber radiance… energies of various colors and attributes collided madly.
Deafening rumbles.
The piercing, sharp clangs of weapons clashing.
Repeatedly reverberated within this sealed underground space.
From the very beginning, the battle presented a completely one-sided, crushing situation.
And the source of this crushing was the unmatched power of Mo Yuan and Zhang Daoxuan, these two Half-step Transcendents.
Mo Yuan simply took a step forward, and his figure appeared before the giant man in dark red armor at the Peak of Calamity Tenth Stage.
The giant man roared wildly, swinging a giant axe the size of a door plank, bringing down a force capable of splitting mountains directly at Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuan neither dodged nor evaded. He raised his right hand, fingers spread open, and met the axe blade head-on.
"CLANG!!!"
The shockwave formed by the sound alone sent several nearby Ocean Realm experts who were engaged in combat staggering back.
The ferocious grin on the giant man's face instantly froze. He felt as if his axe hadn't struck a body of flesh and blood, but had instead hacked against an eternally existing divine mountain.
The rebounding force sent excruciating pain through his arms, splitting the skin between his thumb and forefinger.
The giant axe that had accompanied him through years of battle actually had its blade curl up.
Yet, Mo Yuan's palm was completely unharmed. His five fingers suddenly clenched, actually grabbing hold of the curled axe blade with sheer physical strength.
With a shake of his arm, a vast, tremendous force transmitted through the axe.
"CRACK! THUD—!!"
The giant man at the Peak of Calamity Tenth Stage, along with the armor on his body, began to shatter into pieces from the inside out.
He didn't even manage to let out a complete scream before his massive body exploded with a thunderous boom, turning into a cloud of dust mixed with bone fragments and blood mist.
With a casual wave of Mo Yuan's hand, it dissipated into nothingness.
In just one exchange!
A Peak Calamity Tenth Stage expert was directly blown apart by Mo Yuan using the purest physical strength.
Utterly annihilated in body and soul!
This scene deeply shocked everyone on both sides of the battle.
This was the terrifying power of a Half-step Transcendent.
Even Peak Calamity experts were like clay chickens and pottery dogs before them.
Zhang Daoxuan's methods appeared more ethereal.
Standing in place, he lightly swept his horsetail whisk in his hand, murmuring incantations under his breath.
The tall, thin Peak Calamity expert wearing the faceless mask flickered in movement, closing in on Zhang Daoxuan for an assassination attempt.
Zhang Daoxuan faced his direction and gently blew out a breath.
"Hoo—"
A seemingly soft breath of Primordial Qi blew out, yet the moment it left his body, it instantly transformed into a chaotic storm that swept through heaven and earth.
Within the storm, earth, water, fire, and wind reenacted creation, while the dual energies of Yin and Yang ground everything to nothingness.
The tall, thin Peak Calamity expert let out a shrill, soul-piercing scream. His body disintegrated within the storm. His soul, attempting to merge into nothingness, was forcibly stripped away and then completely crushed within the tempest.
Another Peak Calamity Tenth Stage expert, fallen!
Similarly done with effortless ease, as if merely brushing away a speck of dust.
These two Half-step Transcendents were like two unshakable deities. At the very start of the battle, with the force of a thunderbolt, they instantly erased the opponent's two strongest pillars.
This completely shattered the final will to resist of the Transcendence Society remnants and firmly established absolute victory for the Daxia side.
Su Zhan had long since locked onto the last refined gentleman.
The moment his two companions fell, the refined gentleman erupted with black Mist all around his body, turning to tear through space and escape.
"Trying to leave?"
Su Zhan's Time Deceleration instantly took effect around the refined gentleman.
The refined gentleman's space-tearing movement abruptly stalled. Although his Peak Calamity Tenth Stage strength greatly weakened the effect of Time Deceleration, this momentary freeze was already enough.
Su Zhan's figure transformed into a streak of dark red lightning, appearing before the Speaker.
His right fist, covered in the Flame of Destruction, blasted toward the man's head.
"Ant! You dare think you can kill me?"
The refined gentleman roared. In haste, he gathered all the Mist energy in his body, forming a shield covered with agonized human faces in front of him.
"THUD—!!!!"
The Flame of Destruction collided fiercely with the Mist shield.
Su Zhan did not manage to one-punch kill like Mo Yuan.
After all, his opponent was a genuine Peak Calamity Tenth Stage expert, defending with all his might.
But the domineering nature of the Flame of Destruction still gained the upper hand.
"CRACK… SIZZLE SIZZLE SIZZLE…"
The human faces on the surface of the Mist shield let out miserable wails before vanishing one after another.
The Flame of Destruction, like maggots clinging to bone, madly eroded inward along the cracks in the shield.
The refined gentleman's face changed drastically.
Frantically, he urged his energy to repair the shield and push back the flames.
Su Zhan gave him no chance to catch his breath.
Time Acceleration!
Su Zhan's speed skyrocketed.
Both fists, both feet, elbow strikes, knee strikes… every part of his body transformed into the most lethal weapons, entwined with condensed Flame of Destruction.
Like a raging storm, they bombarded the refined gentleman's defenses.
"BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG…!!!"
The dense sounds of bombardment echoed across the battlefield.
The refined gentleman was beaten back step by step. The cracks on that Mist shield multiplied, its repair speed far unable to keep up with the destruction.
The black Mist swirling around his body was also being incinerated in large patches by the Flame of Destruction.
