Chapter 402 290: The End

The limits of his body were released. Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi poured in unceasingly, rapidly restoring the Primordial Qi he had consumed. Under this enhancement, Zhao Xuanqi's strength rose another level.

Primordial Qi as vast as an ocean—this was the "Divine Sea"!

The Qilin Armor on his body began to change. Its scales grew thicker and sharper, giving it an even more ferocious and deadly appearance.

It was as if he had completely entered a combat state, transforming into a veritable god of slaughter.

Terrifying Primordial Qi and killing intent pulsed out at once. The intense pressure forced the nearby Bloodline Species to retreat instinctively. The Unquenchable Fire was driven back, as were the powers of the Dream Gu and Black Earth Dragon.

This was the final form Zhao Xuanqi had reserved for the Bloodline Species.

"Everything... will end tonight."

Zhao Xuanqi's tone was calm. The moment the words left his lips, his figure shot into motion.

BOOM!!

His speed was extreme. As he charged, the air and Primordial Qi parted before him, like a Divine Dragon churning the seas and soaring wherever it pleased!

The Bloodline Species' pupils contracted sharply. Even with his abilities, he was completely unable to react. He saw only a flash of silver light before Zhao Xuanqi appeared in front of him, a palm rapidly filling his vision.

As the palm struck, the Primordial Qi—swollen to its absolute limit from communing with heaven and earth—was unleashed without reservation.

A person's Primordial Qi is like their physical strength. Even for a Divine General, their Physical Ability and Primordial Qi are finite and must be managed carefully in battle. In a duel between masters, every last shred of Physical Ability is crucial.

But now, Zhao Xuanqi had broken this rule. With a single, instantaneous burst of Primordial Qi, he unleashed what felt like at least eighty percent of his body's total strength.

It was only because his body possessed an 'indestructible' quality, making it exceptionally firm and powerful. Anyone else, even at the same realm, would have been unable to unleash Primordial Qi like this. Their own body would have been the first to fail, disintegrating under the strain.

As a result, however, the destructive power he produced reached a terrifying level.

It could even be said to be the strongest power ever unleashed in this world.

The pinnacle of an age!!

ROAR!!

The Primordial Qi detonated, roaring like a Holy Beast. From a distance, a silver light could be seen erupting, surging toward the sky.

Twenty meters.

Thirty meters.

Forty meters.

...

A colossal Qilin head, nearly fifty meters tall, looked as if it could devour all life in this world.

The surrounding buildings collapsed instantly. The aftershocks of the battle flattened everything in the vicinity. Those who couldn't escape in time were caught in the blast, their bodies disintegrating before they could even scream.

Even Restricted-level masters couldn't withstand the aftershocks.

Fortunately, Zhao Xuanqi was at the Neon Headquarters, and the surrounding buildings housed either Neon Officers or their families. Therefore, he could attack without any concern for the collateral damage.

The aftershocks surged like an ocean tide. The Bloodline Species' expression changed, and he let out an explosive roar. The Black Flame Strange Bird wrapped its wings around him, its body curling up to shield him securely.

Even so, under the ferocious assault, his body was sent flying uncontrollably. The Black Flame Strange Bird's form distorted, almost disintegrating completely.

'An attack of this intensity...'

An incredulous look appeared in the Bloodline Species' eyes. 'That ferocious power... it's completely beyond what Li Zhenyuan from the Ancient Times was capable of. According to this world's Primordial Qi density, the highest attainable state is the Initial Stage of True Essence Realm. We're clearly in the same realm, so how can his attacks be this strong? Can his body even withstand such a massive eruption of Primordial Qi? Can his Physical Ability possibly last?!'

However, Zhao Xuanqi answered his doubts with action.

THUMP!!

The sound of a single footstep rang out. The ground trembled violently as a silver light instantly spread beneath the surface. The earth caved in as if it were collapsing, and countless spiderweb-like cracks appeared in a hundred-meter radius.

At that moment, nearly twenty meters underground.

A humanoid entity was hiding there. His body was mutated, covered in a black, hardened carapace and shrouded in a purplish-black smoke. Any sand or stone he touched instantly melted, allowing him to move through the subterranean soil like a fish through water.

One of the Ancient Four Fiends: the Black Earth Dragon.

This fiend was the king of the underground. His carapace was exceedingly hard, and his Primordial Qi abilities were tied to the earth. He used a poisonous Primordial Qi to dissolve sand and stone, allowing him to move freely underground, hunt prey, and pollute water sources. Among the Ancient Eight Fiends, he was the most difficult to capture and kill.

At that moment, however, the Black Earth Dragon's expression changed drastically. He felt a terrifying, immense force bear down from above as potent Primordial Qi surged into the earth through the cracks on the surface.

Sand, stone, and even the surrounding Primordial Qi all collapsed inward at once, crushing his body.

BOOM!!

He violently erupted with the Primordial Qi in his body, releasing his purplish-black poisonous Qi to dissolve as much of the surrounding earth as possible.

But it was too late!

Under the immense, vibrating force, even the liquefied matter and the surrounding Primordial Qi became as hard as rock and steel.

CRACK!! CRACK!!

The black carapace covering his body instantly shattered. His body twisted like a piece of abstract art as purplish-black blood burst from his skin.

Even with his incredibly powerful life force, he had suffered a devastating wound.

'Through twenty meters of solid earth... How is this possible...'

As blood streamed from his mouth and nose, the Black Earth Dragon's eyes filled with utter disbelief.
