Chapter 458: Chapter 186: Fire Monkey Treads the Heavens, Great Sage Equal to Heaven! Hei Ming Awakens
Even Great Demon Ghosts from the Netherworld, experts at the Void Realm like Jin Yunfeng who were just a single step from ascending to the Feather Transformation Realm, and even Great True Masters of the Feather Transformation Realm who had survived their Thunder Tribulation...
...all lost their senses at this moment.
They only felt darkness above and below as heaven and earth turned black. For a moment, they had no idea where they were or what was happening.
They had become completely blind!
Only on the Netherworld Ocean Floor, where the clash of Divine Techniques stirred massive waves, did a pair of scarlet, violent eyes witness the scene that seemed to be frozen in time.
The rod stood upon the ground and reached for the heavens, like a golden pillar supporting the sky, sweeping away everything in its path.
In the instant the world seemed to freeze, it forcefully held back the giant palm of Bai You that was pressing down from above!
’What in the world is this Divine Technique...’
Furious tides surged in the Sea of Netherworld, revealing the shock in the heart of the one who watched.
A strike of Celestial Mandate was enough to pluck stars from the sky and grasp the moon, to shake the very mountains and rivers. Even the light of the great sun would dim before it.
’That Daoist in white has not yet attained Celestial Mandate. How could he possibly withstand a blow from Bai You?’
As his heart trembled with shock, a moment of dead silence in the Netherworld was shattered by an eruption of sound so piercing that even he found it deafening.
KRA-BOOOOM!!
The sound was so immense it surpassed the very limits of perception.
What kind of experience was this?
At this moment, Chen Shaoyou and the Nianxin Daoist Child were experiencing it firsthand.
’This...’
The ghost fire in Jin Yunfeng’s eye sockets flickered violently as he stared at the unbelievable scene in the far distance, unable to find words for the shock he felt.
The instant the colossal sound echoed high in the sky, ripples spread out at an extreme speed.
The ripples were like waves, rolling forward and crushing everything in their path. Wherever they passed, all tangible things were disintegrated into microscopic particles, invisible to the naked eye.
Mountains, the earth, shadow ghosts, Demon Ghosts...
Even the void itself shattered wherever the ripples passed.
Before their very eyes, patches of the void shattered like a Copper Mirror, with dense cracks spreading out in every direction.
Wherever the ripples passed, everything turned into a bleak, colorless gray.
It seemed as if heaven and earth themselves were about to crumble and collapse from the sheer force of the sound.
Terrifying!
Utterly terrifying!
’Flee! I have to flee now!’
Jin Yunfeng’s heart pounded with fear.
Their speed as they fled was, without a doubt, far greater than the speed of sound.
Yet this colossal sound seemed to ignore the constraints of space and time, instantly propagating in all directions.
It felt as if it would envelop them all in the very next instant.
Flee!
Chen Shaoyou and the Nianxin Daoist Child immediately scrambled to escape, burning their True Qi and Magical Power.
They fled toward the farthest horizon.
The power was already this terrifying when witnessed from so far away.
The two at the center of the collision, therefore, must be enduring terrifying pressure tens of millions of times greater.
The void, which had been twisted and warped by Bai You’s immense force, was instantly annihilated into nothingness.
Everything, both visible and invisible, was utterly obliterated in the collision.
THUMP!!
Only the Fire Monkey leaped up, scattering the ripples as it swung its immeasurably heavy rod. In the instant the giant palm was knocked into the air...
...it brought the rod down hard on Bai You, who was seated cross-legged atop the city tower.
The distorted void, the destructive collision, the distance between them that seemed like a Celestial Abyss...
At this moment, all of it became meaningless.
This Fire Monkey, infused with Su Bai’s Divine Soul Power, was the most powerful Divine Technique in the Fist Scripture.
Though formed from his Divine Thoughts, it was more tangible and far more powerful than any mere incarnation!
"Peaceful Heaven..."
Atop the city tower, Bai You raised an eyebrow slightly as a fire seemed to ignite within his gaze.
In that moment, it seemed all his battle intent had been set ablaze.
But in the next instant, he seemed to hear something.
His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Immediately after, the giant palm, which had been knocked upward by the rod, pressed down once more.
This time, however, the palm strike held not the slightest trace of killing intent.
As it descended, the world-destroying ripples from the collision reversed their course, flowing back until, with a clench of his five fingers, he caught them all in his palm.
At the same time, Bai You’s other hand slowly rose from his lap and, with a gentle pull...
...pulled out a black rod that seemed to be neither iron nor bamboo.
He gently held it forward to block.
HUMMM!
The instant the two rods met, space and time seemed to freeze.
Throughout the void, the endless wails of ghosts and howls of gods erupted and vanished in an instant. The aftershock of the collision seemed to spread through the entire Netherworld at once.
’Hm?’
Su Bai’s heart jolted.
He sensed an endless aura of death contained within that black rod.
In just an instant.
The five-colored light swirling around the Fire Monkey began to dim. A ghastly, pale aura of death spread silently from the golden rod...
...until it enveloped the Fire Monkey’s entire body.
In that moment, all the light surrounding the Fire Monkey vanished. Its body turned a deathly gray, like a black-and-white photograph on a tombstone.
A fierce wind swept it up, and it vanished into the sky.
THUMP!
Su Bai’s body trembled as if ten million thunderbolts had exploded within him.
’The Dao of Life and Death...’
Su Bai’s gaze sharpened as he looked up.
Bai You was still sitting cross-legged, just as before, seemingly unchanged.
But beneath him, the Netherworld City—which had remained unshaken even during the previous earth-shattering collision—was now covered in cracks, fracturing inch by inch.
The cracks spread across the entire city.
It looked as if it would be completely annihilated in the next moment.
WHOOSH!
The giant palm had, at some point, vanished from the sky.
The nether energy between heaven and earth flowed backward, and the mists rolled back in.
It rustled Bai You’s white hair and white robes.
He sat cross-legged on the tower, grasping the black rod. He looked down at the Netherworld Giant City, now covered in cracks, and for a moment, he seemed stunned.
