The terrifying aura of power filled heaven and earth, instantly shrouding the entire Thousand Hills City!
Amidst the rolling smoke and dust of the ruined city.
The Demon Army and the remaining Zhuwei soldiers who were still slaughtering each other all stopped at the same time, raising their heads to look at that dazzling ball of white light in the sky.
It was like a tiny sun, shining with boundless radiance!
At this moment.
At the city gate.
Master Ping grabbed Luo Xiu's arm, urging him anxiously to hurry up and run.
You could tell he was genuinely panicking, because the selfâdestruction of this Ancient Cosmos Strange Stone was no joke!
Even if the Heavenly Emperor came, he'd have to shed a layer of skin!
The entire Zhu Wei State would turn into starry dust within a few breaths!
However.
Luo Xiu didn't take it seriously at all, looking calm and unbothered.
"What're you panicking for? It hasn't blown yet. You're the Tai'a Divine Bottle, how are you this cowardly?"
Master Ping cursed, "Kid, you're overacting now! I'm not messing with you!"
Luo Xiu ignored him, just slowly raised his right hand, palm facing Ya Tianyun in midair, who was about to selfâdestruct his Dantian.
A gorgeous purple light quietly bloomed in his palm, instantly condensing into a mysterious light array.
"Reincarnation."
Luo Xiu turned his head to look at Master Ping, lifting his chin at him in smug pride.
Master Ping watched Ya Tianyun in midair "rewinding in time," and his slitted eyes bulged, "Nima, you pulled it off again!"
Shortly after.
Ya Tianyun weakly plummeted to the ground, sprawled at Luo Xiu's feet.
Right now, he was truly in utter despair, his heart and body iceâcold.
In front of this man, he felt like he was just a oneâlegged grasshopper that couldn't even hop.
Luo Xiu looked down at Ya Tianyun at his feet with an indifferent expression, suddenly Gathered Qi into Sword and directly sent Ya Tianyun on his final journey, then activated the Soul Capturing Technique again, catching a wisp of Ya Tianyun's residual soul and locking it into the Soul Imprisonment Mark in his right palm.
He suddenly shouted, "Pig Dragon."
"Big bro, here!"
Pig Dragon was lugging a snowâwhite human leg that looked like it belonged to a woman, still dripping blood, and he scampered over to Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu gave him a sideways glance and curled his lip, "Do you have to be this disgusting?"
Pig Dragon looked a bit wronged, thinking, isn't it just as gross when humans eat animals?
But he only dared think it, he didn't dare talk back to Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu looked at Ya Tianyun's corpse. "You three brothers can split this body. Remember to chew slowly, chew it to mush before you swallow."
Pig Dragon stared at Luo Xiu with a weird expression, thinking, and who was it just now calling things disgusting?
Luo Xiu added, "Also, after you're done eating, go catch a live person for me."
"Got it, big bro!"
Luo Xiu smiled faintly. "Enjoy your meal. Remember to leave some for Big Mouth and Tian Bang."
Pig Dragon's face instantly lit up with joy; he suddenly pounced like a madman and began tearing at Ya Tianyun's corpse.
The White Emperor's body, for a demon, was without a doubt a supreme tonic!
"Big bro, this old bastard's kidneys are mine! I'm gonna grill some White Emperor kidneys!"
Luo Xiu curled his lip. "Gross."
At this time Master Ping walked up to Luo Xiu and suggested, "Wanna use Elysian Nether Earth to revive this old bastard, make him watch his own corpse getting gnawed on?"
Luo Xiu said, "That'd be a bit too shrimpâhearted and pigâlivered."
"..."
...
Facing the ferocious, bloodthirsty Demon Army of a hundred thousand, Zhu Wei State's side could only be described as getting steamrolled.
Or rather, oneâsidedly butchered.
The battle ended very quickly.
In the ruins of the city.
Black Fatty was leading the Demon Army in cleaning up the battlefield.
And the Demon Army's method of cleaning up was simple and efficient: straightâup devouring.
Luo Xiu and Master Ping sat on a broken pillar, cursing each other out as they argued over that combo set he'd just used with the Manifestation Dao Body.
Master Ping kept insisting he played it smoother than Luo Xiu, and Luo Xiu absolutely refused to admit it, so the two of them started bickering.
Before long, a waft of fragrance drifted over.
They saw Lin Shanshan fly over, white dress fluttering, landing in front of Luo Xiu as lightly as a feather.
She swept her gaze across the surrounding Hellâlike carnage and asked, "Dad, am I late?"
Luo Xiu reached out and rubbed her head, gently straightening the ornament in her hair, smiling. "Why do you think your name is Shan Shan?"
Master Ping waved a hand to the side. "Hey, old thing, hurry your ass over here!"
In the ruins not far away.
Ya Tianyun wore a face like he'd just eaten shit, walking over extremely reluctantly.
At this moment, Ya Tianyun was, of course, a Body of the Dark Land that Luo Xiu had created using Elysian Nether Earth.
Lin Shanshan sized up Ya Tianyun, then teased Luo Xiu, "Dad, don't tell me this is the blind date you found for me?"
Luo Xiu flicked a finger against her forehead in exasperation.
Lin Shanshan let out a cute "Ow," covered her forehead with her hand, looking utterly wronged.
"Bullying me again, I'm telling Mom later!"
Hearing that, Luo Xiu made as if to flick her forehead again, and she hurriedly ducked behind Master Ping in fright.
Then Luo Xiu's face turned serious. "This old thing's true body is an Ancient Cosmos Strange Stone. Many years ago he fell into Zhu Wei State along with a meteorite and, by a fluke, cultivated into a demon."
"Of course, that's not the main point. The point is his cultivation technique should help you cultivate the Godslayer Force, so do you want to give it a try?"
Hearing this, Lin Shanshan's beautiful eyes lit up. "Really?"
In fact, she'd been troubled by this for quite some time.
The Ancient Cosmos Strange Stone's power, under the effect of the Fortune-Forming Power, had derived an extremely mighty Godslayer Force, but she had no suitable cultivation technique to perfectly master it.
Luo Xiu nodded slightly and said, "Go with him. This old thing is a Body of the Dark Land; he doesn't have any bad thoughts left."
"..."
...
After a long while.
Lin Shanshan returned to Luo Xiu's side, happily saying, "Dad, he's already passed the cultivation technique to me. You can undo his Body of the Dark Land now."
Luo Xiu asked, "How does it feel?"
"Mm, very effective. Next time we meet, I'll give you a surprise!"
"Good."
Lin Shanshan suddenly remembered something. "By the way, last time Aunt Xiu Hua told me⊠that my Crystal Bone has a natural nemesis."
"What kind of nemesis?"
Lin Shanshan said, "Auntie Su is my nemesis."
"You mean Yueyue?"
Lin Shanshan said, "Her kind of voice can shatter my Crystal Bone, so Dad⊠you have to help me find some Body Refinement materials to increase the toughness of my Crystal Bone."
Luo Xiu slung an arm around her shoulders, smiling. "Miss Lin, asking me to go find materials for you is what you really wanted to say, right?"
Lin Shanshan giggled. "I knew Dad loves me most."
Luo Xiu said, "You should just hurry up and find someone to marry."
Lin Shanshan widened her big watery eyes. "But no one in this world is worthy of me. Unless there's another peerless demon like you, Dad."
Luo Xiu spread his hands. "Then you're probably going to be single for life."
Lin Shanshan looked out over the city ruins that resembled Hell on earth, suddenly sighed, and changed the subject. "So, do we really have to go this far?"
Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly. "Honestly, at the start I was planning to just destroy this planet outright. But then I thought about it and decided to drop it."
He paused, then added, "I think it's necessary to go this far, because it serves as killing the chicken to warn the monkeys."
Lin Shanshan said, "After the other forces in the Three Thousand Alliance hear what happened to Zhu Wei State, they probably won't be able to sleep at night."
Luo Xiu said, "In the period to come, I'll go pay each of those Three Thousand Alliance forces a visit. As for the cleanup afterward, that's your job."
"..."
