Chapter 94: The Sage Lord Falls, Divine Sense Annihilated!
At this point in the battle, there was no longer any suspense.
On the Douluo Plane, beneath the Golden Ancient Tree, that towering Life Core was operating with unprecedented efficiency. A thick seven-colored pillar of light connected heaven and earth, frantically refining the massive amount of abyssal energy that Electrolux had just brought back.
That was the energy essence formed from the foundation of an entire abyssal layer, plus the self-detonation of three Second-level Deities.
Pure Life Origin was extracted and sprinkled onto the mountains and rivers of the Douluo Plane like sweet dew, nourishing all things. Meanwhile, an even more majestic power of the origin was continuously injected into Lei Chen's body through the invisible bond of the Plane Master.
As one side waxed and the other waned, the aura around Lei Chen's body rose steadily at a speed perceptible to the naked eye, following the feedback from the plane's origin. That seven-colored divine light became increasingly brilliant and vast, as if merging with the entire Douluo Plane; every breath triggered a resonance with the surrounding laws.
The Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword in his hand whistled with an increasingly clear and loud cry. The lightning runes on the sword's body seemed to come alive, jumping incessantly as its power rose steadily.
In contrast, as the energy of his own plane was continuously devoured and converted, the Tian Shen was like a great tree that had lost its roots; his aura declined uncontrollably.
The originally surging dark purple divine power became dim and thin. The arm wielding the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd also grew heavy. Even the light emitted by the Super Divine Artifact itself seemed to shrink due to its master's weakness.
The wounds on his body increased, and golden divine blood spilled continuously, yet he could no longer rely on the power of his plane to recover quickly.
This battle had long surpassed a simple collision of skill and strength; it had become a direct consumption and crushing of the foundations of two planes.
Finally, at a certain moment, a quantitative change triggered a qualitative one.
"Buzz—!"
It was as if some invisible barrier within Lei Chen's body was crushed by the majestic flood of energy. The seven-colored divine light around him suddenly retracted, and then violently erupted, forming a ripple of energy that swept in all directions.
At this moment, his aura brazenly broke through the long-standing shackles and reached a brand new level—mid-stage First-level God!
Almost at the same time, the Tian Shen, Tianshen, felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. His body shook violently, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper.
His already declining aura plummeted like an avalanche, finally barely maintaining itself above that critical point—the threshold of a First-level God. He was already teetering on the edge, looking as if he would completely fall into the category of a Second-Tier God at any moment.
With one rising and the other falling, the gap was now as vast as the distance between heaven and the abyss!
"Now is the time!" A sharp light burst from Electrolux's eyes. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
The eternal pagoda, which had been focused on suppression, suddenly erupted with unprecedented light. The chaotic vortex at the base of the tower rotated, carrying a majestic power that could suppress eternity. It was no longer a diversion but, like the collapsing heavens, it slammed down hard upon the Tian Shen, whose aura had faded to the extreme!
"No—!" The Tian Shen let out a desperate roar, exhausting his last bit of divine power to raise the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd upward in a block.
"Clang!!!"
Amidst the deafening roar, the base of the eternal pagoda slammed solidly into the shaft of the halberd.
The Tian Shen's entire body shook violently. The bones in his arms groaned under the unbearable weight, and his whole person was bent downward by this massive force. His movements suffered a fatal stagnation!
In the eyes of a powerhouse like Lei Chen, this moment of stagnation was an eternal flaw.
Without a roar or hesitation, Lei Chen moved with his sword. Man and sword became one, transforming into a purple-gold bolt of lightning that pierced through heaven and earth.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment. The Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword, which contained the power of heavenly punishment, was like destiny itself as it accurately pierced through the Tian Shen's chest, which he had failed to fully protect in his haste!
"Puchi!"
The sound of the blade entering the body was clearly audible.
The moment the sword tip emerged from his back, time resumed its flow. Lei Chen's wrist flicked, and the terrifying power of thunder condensed on the sword blade erupted!
"Boom—!"
Countless purple-gold lightning snakes exploded from the Tian Shen's chest, instantly spreading to his limbs and every corner of his body. That thunder not only destroyed his divine body but also carried a will to annihilate everything, frantically erasing his remaining divine power and life force.
The Tian Shen's body suddenly stiffened. Those dark-gold vertical pupils dilated instantly, filled with extreme pain and disbelief.
He opened his mouth, and a strange "he-he" sound came from his throat. He seemed to want to utter a final curse or beg for mercy, but the rampaging thunder had already destroyed his divine soul. In the end, no sound could be made.
The light in his eyes, like a flickering candle in the wind, quickly dimmed and went out.
In the next moment, the Tian Shen, the culprit behind the invasion of the Douluo Plane, saw his body shatter like broken porcelain in the lightning. He completely disintegrated into the finest particles, dissipating in this silent domain that once belonged to him.
Only the Super Divine Artifact, the heavenly saint abyss splitting halberd, lost its master's control. With a mournful cry, it fell powerlessly from the sky.
Lei Chen's face did not show the slightest relaxation of victory due to the disintegration of the Tian Shen's body. On the contrary, his eyes became sharper, and his divine sense, like the most precise radar, instantly swept over the place where the Saint Lord had disintegrated and every inch of the surrounding space.
"As expected... still trying to cling to life!" Lei Chen sneered in his heart.
He knew that in the original trajectory, this Tian Shen had escaped with a wisp of divine sense while in a desperate situation, allowing him to stir up trouble again ten thousand years later. Knowing this, how could Lei Chen not be prepared?
Just as the Tian Shen's body was completely annihilated, an extremely hidden and weak fluctuation of divine sense, almost merged with the ubiquitous abyssal energy, quietly darted out from the destructive energy turbulence like a cunning viper. It attempted to use the environment as cover to silently flee toward the unknown depths of the Abyss Plane.
This wisp of divine sense contained the Tian Shen's last consciousness and survival instinct. If he managed to escape into the abyssal core, with his deep understanding of this plane, he might find a glimmer of hope for survival.
But would Lei Chen, who had been waiting for a long time, let him have his way?
"Shoo!"
Lei Chen didn't even move his body. With just a flick of his wrist, the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword, which had just drunk divine blood, flew out. It turned into a soul-chasing purple lightning bolt, moving faster than thought. It arrived first despite starting later, accurately piercing through that weak wisp of divine sense that thought it had succeeded and was fleeing frantically!
"Ah—!!!"
A shrill, distorted scream filled with endless pain and despair abruptly rang out in the empty abyss, then stopped just as suddenly.
That wisp of divine sense was pinned firmly in the void by the sword of thunder. Purple-gold lightning, like chains, tightly wrapped around it and scorched it.
Lei Chen's figure appeared before the pinned divine sense in the next instant. He looked down at the small, twisting point of light that was struggling in vain, his gaze as calm as an ancient frozen pond.
"When you decided to invade my plane and bring war and destruction here, you should have expected today's end." Lei Chen's voice was not loud, but it carried the majesty of a plane's ruler and the coldness of a final judgment. "Any hope of a fluke is redundant at this moment. Now, let it end completely."
From within that point of light came the thought fluctuations of the Tian Shen's divine sense, filled with fear and humility: "Spare... spare me! I am willing to submit! I'll take you as my master... I can..."
However, before the words of pleading could be finished, Lei Chen's eyes were already filled with icy coldness. He gave the other party no further chance. With a thought, lightning flashed violently on the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword!
"No—!" The Tian Shen's divine sense let out one last shrill cry of unwillingness.
In the next moment, the purple-gold thunder swallowed and purified it completely like a raging tide. That weak point of light, under the power of the most masculine and positive thunder, was completely annihilated without leaving a trace of dust, vanishing into nothingness.
The Tian Shen's body and soul were both destroyed!
In the air, only the Nine Heavens Thunderstrike Sword remained suspended quietly. Lightning flowed over the blade, emitting a slight hum, as if announcing the final fate of the invader.
