Chapter 544 276: The Net of Heaven's Law

Even though they previously said they must guard the Celestial Pillar, at this life-and-death juncture, the Ghost Gods still couldn't suppress their fear and fled. The subordinate Divine Dao Soldiers, sensing the crisis, also abandoned their opponents and moved away.

Even King of Zhaoren, who advocated fighting to the death and cursed those who preserved themselves, decisively withdrew and fled far away.

Escape! Escape! Escape!

The Ghost Gods fled, and the battlefield gradually emptied.

"Ang!!!"

Looking again at the center of the battlefield, where the True Dragon Celestial Pillar stood, a majestic roar resounded, also sensing the crisis.

Despite feeling a great crisis, there was no alternative. The limitations of this mortal world were very subtle; although the Deities possessed Divine Power, they couldn't overly interfere with the mortal world. While Merit Dragon Qi could repel evils and prohibit all techniques, the former couldn't be used for offense, and the latter had to rely on the power of the Human Dao to be effective.

Thus, a unique environment was created, where Heaven, Earth, and Human Gods restrained each other, ultimately deciding the situation through the competition for the dragon.

But now, an anomaly has emerged!

Facing Shen Hex, this Supreme Dragon Qi could do nothing.

The Dragon Qi couldn't suppress him, and the imperial decrees were useless!

What to do?

It was unknown.

But the dignified True Dragon, in the end, was not willing to await slaughter.

"Ang!!!"

With a resounding roar, the True Dragon withdrew its claws and fangs, coiled its body around the Celestial Pillar, adopting a defensive posture.

It was not a desperate fight but a struggle to survive.

Offense and defense each had their advantages and disadvantages, which did not need further discussion.

Just look at the opponent...

Shen Hex's Divine Origin Ultimate Fortune simultaneously summoned the Immortal Demon Technique and Power of Life and Death, finally converging together.

Relying on the Power of Creation and the Infinite Creation Power, he could unleash freely, exceeding limit upon limit, though even among his extreme techniques, there were distinctions of strength.

Now, without a doubt, it's the strongest technique, exhausting all his merit to create the Dao Ultimate Form.

"Boom!!!"

Just like that, the Deities pressed their palms together, the Immortal Demon Saber and Sword collided, as if heaven and earth were clashing, or Yin and Yang were contending, erupting with a mighty force of the ultimate Dao, like the mythical Divine Thunder that shattered Chaos and broke the Earth, momentarily illuminating the world tragically, causing shock among ghosts and gods.

"Boom!!!!!!!!!!"

The extreme destructive force burst forth, annihilating all space it passed, with even the limits of heaven and earth unable to withstand, showing signs of shattering, clearly indicating that this level of power exceeded worldly limits.

With such an ability, one could completely break the void and ascend to the Immortal God Upper Realm.

But now, he does not seek ascension, only to destroy heaven and achieve Dao!

With such a strike...

"Bang!!!!!!"

"Ang!!!!!!"

The Celestial Pillar trembled violently, the True Dragon let out a piercing wail, swallowed by the thunder, instantly collapsing and shattering.

The Celestial Pillar collapsed, the True Dragon fell, and the remaining wave of impact swept and ravaged a thousand miles of territory. If it hadn't been for the preemptive retreat of the many Ghost Gods, there would have been countless casualties now.

"Ah..."

Amidst the turbulent waves, Shen Hex's body also showed signs of shaking and trembling. The Twelve Celestial Gates Qi Shield had turned to nothingness, and even the Vajra Indestructible Body was bleeding profusely, evidently hard to endure the extreme exertion of the Dao Ultimate Form, which injured a thousand enemies but harmed eight hundred of himself, hit by a powerful backlash.

But this was expected, for the battle of Lanruo years ago proved the power of this technique, hurting both enemy and self. Now, to destroy the Celestial Pillar and kill the True Dragon, he gave his all without reservation, certainly unable to withstand the heavy backlash.

But fortunately, Shen Hex was well prepared, rooting his feet to stabilize his heavily injured body, mobilizing the Element of Creation with both hands, using Divine Dao Authority, Immortal Dao Method, Martial Arts Skill, and Professional Power to recover from this unimaginable severe injury.

Just at this moment...

"Ang!!!"

The Celestial Pillar had collapsed, and the Dragon Qi had been extinguished, yet a dragon's roar still echoed in the void, full of grief and rage, intensely mournful, shaking the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

Shen Hex looked up, seeing the heaven and earth darken, filled with black and red, forming a heavy oppressive disaster cloud hanging overhead, exuding a sense of annihilation.

Indeed... it was Celestial Punishment!

As a Ghost God, destroying the True Dragon Celestial Pillar, interfering with the Human Dao fortune, violated the Celestial Rules, naturally invoking the Celestial Dao's condemnation.

Not to mention this True Dragon was not a dragon at the end of a dynasty, burdened with the resentment of all people and Karmic Force, but a dragon of the peak era, aided by ancient rites, with the support of seventy percent of the people's hearts. The backlash of Dragon Qi, combined with the penalties of the Celestial Rules, would become the most terrifying Celestial Punishment in this world.

"Boom!!!"

The disaster cloud of blood-dark color collided with a mighty bang, descending with a Celestial Punishment Divine Thunder of the same blood-dark hue, aiming straight at Shen Hex.

Five thunders striking atop, celestial execution and earthly extinction!

This level of backlash, let alone a Third Grade, even a First-class Great God would likely turn to dust.

But Shen Hex...

"Hoh!!!"

Seen standing tall, Shen Hex remained unmoved, continuing to recover himself, not putting up any resistance against the Celestial Punishment Thunder.

Because resistance was futile, a mere Third Grade god, facing Celestial Punishment, any struggle would end in obliteration.

Unless...

"Buzz!!!"

Golden light shone brilliantly, merit condensed, transforming Shen Hex into a complete golden hue, emanating an aura of utmost benevolence and sanctity.

It was the Merit Golden Body!

Shen Hex's final trump card and greatest reliance, the only method capable of countering this True Dragon backlash and Celestial Punishment.

"Bang!!!"

As soon as the Merit Golden Body manifested, the Celestial Thunder descended, its dark red color unlike ordinary, filled with an intent of killing and destruction.

Under this extreme thunder, although protected by merit, Shen Hex's body still shuddered, experiencing an indescribable, unimaginable terrifying pressure, greater than mountains and peaks, as if the vault of heavens and the expanse of earth.

"Bang!!!!!!"

"Clap clap clap clap!"

Shen Hex's feet sank, bursts resounded through his body, sparks of thunder and fire erupted, along with golden red blood. His robe tore apart, hairpin shattered, his head full of jet-black hair fluttered free, at times dyed by merit's golden light, at times soaked by the Celestial Punishment Divine Thunder's bloody darkness.
