Online Game: Evil Dragon Against The Heaven - 244
Karlonandis… Looking at him, which is now his own attributes, Ye Tian Xie experiences a surreal, dream-like sense of endless illusion. 1.2 billion health points, 8 million magic points, 500,000 base attack power… These mythical numbers are now truly manifesting in him.
And in his hand, he holds…the Holy Sword of Annihilation!
Aside from the legendary 『Forbidden』, the Holy Sword of Annihilation can certainly be considered the pinnacle of the Destiny World. It surpasses the Celestial Spirits, surpasses Heavenly Extremes, surpasses Divine Mysteries…Holding this sword, he finally understands… why it is said that the Holy Sword of Annihilation theoretically does not exist and only exists in legends… Even if it exists, it would never fall into a player’s hands.
Because the Holy Instruments are too powerful, absurdly powerful, so powerful that unless one sees them with their own eyes… No, even if one sees them, it is hard to believe that such terrifyingly powerful instruments could exist.
Such a body, such power, such a weapon… the Holy Sword War God is truly worthy of the name 『God』.
And his current state comes from a skill… a skill called 『Phantom God Transformation』. Could it be… that after acquiring this skill, he could turn into his current state at any time?
What an incredible skill that would be, what an incredible profession!!
Ye Tian Xie turns his body around, his gaze landing on the now insignificant Dark Nether Ghost King in front of him. At this moment, he is filled with a powerful sensation, a feeling that he could shatter all obstacles and destroy all enemies, even overturning the heavens and earth with this power… Under such might, the Dark Nether Ghost King, who had once seemed an insurmountable threat, now poses no threat at all… He even feels that he can control his life and death!
The Dark Nether Ghost King, on the other hand, experiences a completely opposite sensation.
Just a few seconds ago, his casually released aura had easily suppressed him, needing only a flick of his fingers to decide his life or death. But now, he feels his body and soul being oppressed by a force that terrifies him, and the source of his fear…
His eyes fall on the gigantic sword in Ye Tian Xie’s hands, his green eyes shrinking to the size of pinholes, a voice trembling with fear that seems to plunge into the abyss exclaims, “Holy… Holy Sword!!!”
Among their demon clan, there has always been a legend of an extremely terrifying Holy Sword, the forbidden sword feared by his demon clan, a holy sword said to come from heaven, created to judge sin. The divine power it harbors is even deeply feared by the ancient and most powerful demon god, Li Xiao. This forbidden Holy Sword’s appearance is engraved in the marks of the demon clan, known to every member of the demon clan.
Shapes can be imitated, colors can be imitated… but the soul-shaking holiness can never be imitated. The Dark Nether Ghost King could never have imagined that he would one day see this legendary sword with such terrifying divine power.
The suppression of power, the trembling of his soul… He thought of escaping! Since his existence, even when he was sealed by the power of Destiny’s Hour a hundred years ago, he had never felt such fear. Because Destiny’s Hour possessed the power to seal him forever and slowly devour him, but the Holy Sword… had the divine power to judge him, to completely annihilate him.
Everyone has their greatest fear, their ultimate taboo. Everyone fears death, and demons are no exception. In fact, they fear it even more than humans. Because when humans die, they enter the next cycle of reincarnation. But when demons die, they fall into an inescapable abyss of eternal damnation… perhaps even purgatory.
The Dark Nether Ghost King trembled in fear as he took a step back under the Holy Sword’s overwhelming presence, while Ye Tian Xie raised the Holy Sword in his hand and took his first step forward…
One step. The earth shook and mountains trembled.
This seemingly simple step felt like a stomp on the heart of the Dark Nether Ghost King. As the Holy Sword drew closer, the divine power that terrified him intensified. No matter how much he tried to remain calm, no matter how desperately he tried to gather his strength to resist, he could not suppress the fear that was impossible to contain.
“Dark Nether Ghost King… Heaven has decreed your end. You are fated to perish today! But to die beneath the Holy Sword, your death is not in vain.” Ye Tian Xie spoke slowly, as the Holy Sword in his hand suddenly slashed outward. As the massive blade swung, a burst of divine radiance erupted from its surface, illuminating the trembling figure of the Dark Nether Ghost King beneath his dark cloak.
BOOM!!
The Dark Nether Ghost King executed a dark teleportation, narrowly avoiding the mighty strike of the Holy Sword. The blade descended upon the ground, unleashing a thunderous explosion. The devastating force carved a deep fissure into the earth.
Thirty meters away, the Dark Nether Ghost King leaned against a wall, still unable to believe what he was witnessing. He screamed hysterically, “No!! Impossible!! This is impossible… Why have you awakened the power of Sacred Mark… Why does the Holy Sword exist!? This must be an illusion, this can’t be real!! It’s an illusion!!”
Ye Tian Xie took two steps forward, each step spanning five meters. “In this world, just because you believe something to be impossible does not mean it does not exist. Even I do not know why all of this is happening… But one thing I am certain of… today, you will die! Never has anyone dared to be so arrogant before me!!”
The Holy Sword was raised once more and slashed down. As he watched the massive blade descend, the Dark Nether Ghost King did not even entertain the thought of resisting. If it were an ordinary power of equal strength, he would have chosen to block it. But against this divine power, which completely countered his darkness, his instinctive response was to evade—to flee…
At his peak, the Dark Nether Ghost King’s strength was close to the Holy Annihilation-tier, only a step away from reaching the true pinnacle of that tier. However, after being sealed within the Tower of Destiny for a century, his power had been constantly devoured and stripped away by the mighty force of Destiny’s Hour. Now, he retained less than half of his former strength… putting him somewhere between the Divine Mysterious-tier and Holy Annihilation-tier.
Meanwhile, the Holy Sword War God, Karlonandis, aided by the Holy Sword, Aersi Dion, stood unchallenged at the pinnacle of Lost Continent’s power—the undisputed Holy Annihilation-tier. His overall strength already surpassed that of the Dark Nether Ghost King at his peak. Moreover, the Holy Sword’s power was the ultimate bane of dark forces like his.
The Dark Nether Ghost King at full power was already no match for Karlonandis, let alone now, when he had only half his former strength. A difference of half a tier—an insurmountable gap. If not for the immense suppression of power and the terrifying divine pressure, a proud and dignified demon king would never have chosen to flee so easily.
BOOM!!
The second strike of the Holy Sword once again missed its target. The massive blade crashed into the pitch-black walls, causing a deafening explosion as fragments of rock flew in all directions. The very space trembled violently, and the surrounding walls collapsed under the sheer impact. Dust and soil rained down from above.
Having retreated several dozen meters, the Dark Nether Ghost King no longer dared to hesitate. He turned around and, in sheer panic, fled at his highest speed, scrambling without direction.
Ye Tian Xie did not give chase. Instead, he watched the Dark Nether Ghost King’s retreating figure, slowly raising the Holy Sword. A radiant beam of divine light shot forth from the blade, streaking directly toward the fleeing figure.
“Demon-Slaying Realm!!”
No matter how fast the Dark Nether Ghost King ran, he could never outrun the speed of light. The divine radiance from the Holy Sword instantly engulfed him, freezing his forward movement in an instant. His body remained locked in a running posture, utterly motionless, as if encased in ice.
The moment he was trapped, the sacred light ceased its expansion. A brilliant white beam connected Ye Tian Xie’s Holy Sword to the immobilized Dark Nether Ghost King. In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian Xie surged forward along the beam of light at an unimaginable speed—so fast it seemed as if he had teleported. In an instant, he was directly in front of the frozen Dark Nether Ghost King, and with an unstoppable force, the radiant Holy Sword slashed down upon him.
BOOM!!
-3,200,000!
Demon-Slaying Realm—a technique exclusive to the Holy Sword, Aersi Dion. It combined both sealing and attack, first restraining its target with divine light and then delivering a devastating blow. Against dark-type beings, the sealing success rate was 100%, ensuring that not even the slightest chance of escape remained.
A seven-digit damage value—a staggering, astronomical number. As the Dark Nether Ghost King was blasted away like a withered leaf by this overwhelmingly powerful strike, Ye Tian Xie himself found it difficult to believe that such a terrifying damage output had come from his own hands.
What he was experiencing was akin to an ant suddenly toppling a mountain—utterly shocking and unreal.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG…!
The Dark Nether Ghost King’s body smashed through wall after wall before crashing into the ground. The immense impact still had not fully dissipated, and his body was forcefully driven deep into the earth.
Ye Tian Xie arrived immediately after, his gaze locked onto the place where the Dark Nether Ghost King had vanished. Raising the Holy Sword high, he stabbed it fiercely downward.
“Shattering Tremor!!”
BOOM!!
The Holy Sword plunged into the ground, instantly fracturing the earth. A muffled explosion echoed from below. As the ground violently erupted, the Dark Nether Ghost King, who had been buried deep underground, was launched into the air amidst a storm of dust and rubble.
Ye Tian Xie lifted his head, watching the pitch-black figure, wailing in agony, plummet from the sky. Just as he was about to crash back down—
The Holy Sword swung out once more, mercilessly.
“God-Breaking Slash!!”
BOOM!!!!
Karlonandis was the God of Battle. He thrived on combat, and only those whose strength rivaled that of the gods were worthy of being his opponents. He did not possess many techniques, but each and every one of them lived up to the title of 『God』.
One strike of God-Breaking Slash alone was enough to make even true gods’ expressions change dramatically. The devastating force crashed heavily against the Dark Nether Ghost King, sending his body plummeting down. The already scarred ground fractured once again upon impact.
This time, the Dark Nether Ghost King was hurled so deep underground that no one could tell how far he had fallen—perhaps a hundred meters, perhaps a thousand…
“《Reverse God-Slaying Slash!!》”
Reverse God-Slaying Slash—a technique that could be used independently but also as a follow-up to God-Breaking Slash. When used immediately after, its effects became truly terrifying.
It inflicted a second attack of equal intensity but from the opposite direction upon the enemy struck by God-Breaking Slash in the previous second. No matter the target’s condition—whether they had been knocked away, whether they had fled to a different location, even if they had teleported a thousand miles away in an instant—the descending Reverse God-Slaying Slash would still strike them without fail.
This was a technique that instantly pulled back a fleeing enemy, forcing them back into the hands of their tormentor—a skill that defied all logic and reason.
Perhaps such an ability could only be wielded by a true god.
