Chapter 1181: Extinction

At the instant the Primal Chaos Qi Cannon fired, Chen Mobai felt his consciousness erupt along with the destructive white light, traversing the cosmic river of stars and descending upon Pluto.

Previously, in Chen Mobai's view, the powerful and almost unstoppable force of the River of Death was instantly pierced through by the destructive white light radiating from his body.

As the destructive white light descended, all the Underworld beings, including the Underworld King, sensed an imminent catastrophe.

The Underworld Queen, in particular, suddenly wept tears of blood from her eyes, which were covered by a purple blindfold. At that moment, she witnessed a vision of death: planets turning to dust and all living beings perishing.

"This is impossible!" she exclaimed in disbelief. She immediately tore off her blindfold and gazed in the direction from which the destructive white light was flying. Lights of life and death flickered in her pupils, and the pitch-black Lake of Reincarnation seemed to be guided, surging skyward with her gaze, transforming into a dark arc, attempting to block the incoming force.

"What kind of power is this?" The Underworld King was equally shocked. As the ruler of the Underworld race, he could commune with the River of Death, which had been left by the God of Death and encircled Pluto. In his view, the power of the River of Death was invincible; at least, the countless powerful beings from other planets that Pluto had encountered had never been able to break through the River of Death to reach Pluto. Yet, today, the moment the River of Death collided with the pure white radiance, it was pierced through without any resistance, like a lake struck by a massive boulder.

After Chen Mobai, enveloped by the destructive white light, effortlessly pierced through the River of Death protecting the planet, he experienced no hesitation, easily sinking into Pluto's crust.

Along the way, the power of the Lake of Reincarnation, wielded by the Underworld Queen, approached, attempting to block the destructive white light. Just as Chen Mobai was wondering how to counter it, he observed that the Underworld Queen's power, the moment it neared the pure white radiance, seemed to be purified, transforming into wisps of black smoke that quickly dissipated.

"Is this the power of destruction?" Chen Mobai couldn't help but be astonished at this sight. It was important to note that both the River of Death and the Lake of Reincarnation, as Pluto's most potent foundations, reached the sixth-tier level when activated. Yet, even such power offered no resistance against the destructive white light.

With a resounding boom, Chen Mobai felt his consciousness drawn into the deepest part of Pluto. He entered the planetary core. Unfortunately, it was already an boundless expanse of the Great Dao of Death, seemingly refined by the God of Death after his Void Refinement, consuming the Demon Lord's will that had been enshrined there. As a disciple of the Purple Heavens Palace, Chen Mobai did not investigate further, instead directly steering the pure white radiance to pierce through the planetary core and emerge from the other side of Pluto.

It was like a long spear piercing through a star, shining brilliantly in the dark cosmic expanse.

Accompanied by a cracking sound, the colossal Pluto, like a shattered sphere, began its ultimate destruction. Countless fissures split open across its surface, erupting with pure white light, resembling a hedgehog covered in white needles. Wherever the pure white light passed, everything, tangible or intangible, was reduced to ashes.

At that moment, Chen Mobai felt his consciousness merge into all the pure white radiance, as if infinitely erupting, shooting out from every fissure in Pluto's surface.

All living beings on the surface, whether the immense army of billions of undead or the powerful Underworld Generals, were instantly annihilated into black ash and dissipated into the cosmos the moment they came into contact with the pure white radiance, no matter how they struggled or resisted.

Even the Underworld King, a planetary master with formidable cultivation, had one foot and half his body evaporated by the destructive white light erupting from the ground beneath him.

The Underworld King tried to scream, but found that the part of his body annihilated by the destructive white light had no sensation whatsoever, as if that part had never existed. Fear welled up in his eyes.

"What exactly is this power?" he mouthed silently. Not far away, the Underworld Queen understood his lip movements; the air, at the moment the destructive white light descended, had already dissipated into the cosmos along with the fractured crust.

It was at this moment that the Underworld Queen recalled her conversation with Chen Mobai before he left. "You won't even be able to take a single step off Pluto." Was this what he had meant? Upon realizing this, deep regret filled the Underworld Queen's heart. Why hadn't she yielded in the Purple Heavens Palace and begged Chen Mobai for mercy? But who could have imagined that the Immortal Sect, which had been suppressed by Pluto thousands of years ago, possessed such terrifying power? Why hadn't they used it back then? The Underworld Queen was full of questions. Although she had still been gestating in the Lake of Reincarnation at that time, she had heard the Underworld King recount the great war between the planets. She knew that if Pluto hadn't been unprepared then, with many Underworld Generals and undead sleeping, it could have easily crushed Earth in terms of strength.

RUMBLE! At that very moment, Pluto finally succumbed to the destructive white light, shattering completely. Nearly all living beings on the planet were reduced to nothing. Only the three most powerful ones remained: the Underworld King, the Underworld Queen, and the First Underworld General. It was then that they realized their fate, and that of Pluto itself. They would die. The Underworld race would be annihilated. The planet would be destroyed.

"No!" The Underworld King could not accept this outcome. He roared, igniting his decaying body, transforming into a torrent of dark death energy. He sought to merge with the River of Death and the death power of billions of undead and the annihilated Underworld race, making a final stand against the destructive white light. However, beneath the pure white radiance, even death itself was to be destroyed. The Underworld King's final resistance merely caused the destructive white light pouring from the planetary fissures to pause briefly, after which the dense torrent of death tide vanished like darkness illuminated by sunlight.

"Thana..." In his final moments, the Underworld King, reduced to only a head, looked at the blood-weeping Underworld Queen, seemingly wanting to say something. "Your Majesty!" The Underworld Queen immediately cradled his remaining head and turned to look at the First Underworld General in the distant sky. "Wangkote, open a path for us!" The Underworld Queen's silent plea reached the First Underworld General's mind. After emerging from the Purple Heavens Palace, the First Underworld General's power had surpassed that of the peak Underworld King; even she would not be his match without using the life-and-death essence of her eyes. In her view, this was heaven's last chance for the Underworld race before Pluto's destruction.

Wangkote did not hesitate. He swung the holy scythe in his hand, dodging and slashing through the air, trying to reach the Underworld Queen and King. The holy scythe in his possession was a sixth-tier artifact left by the God of Death, a crystallization of the purest power of the Great Dao of Death. Although it gained many nicks and chips when clashing with the destructive white light, it could at least offer resistance.

This scene naturally caught Chen Mobai's attention. He immediately recalled that in the Purple Heavens Palace, this First Underworld General had gained an understanding of rebirth from a single drop of blood. Given enough time and resources, he might genuinely be able to break through to the sixth-tier. It seemed this one needed special attention.

With a thought, the destructive white light surging from the planetary fissures in front of the First Underworld General suddenly froze in place, then solidified into a pure white immortal armor, taking on Chen Mobai's appearance. The moment his form materialized, it was seen by the Underworld Queen and the Underworld King in her arms. Besides hatred and fury, a hint of regret appeared in their eyes. If they had known Chen Mobai possessed such power, they should have turned Pluto around and left. But at this point, Pluto and the Underworld race were already on the verge of extinction.

Chen Mobai, using the Lingxiao Immortal Armor, projected his consciousness as a simulated destructive white light, blocking the First Underworld General's path. Through this period of destruction, he had largely gained control over the destructive white light. The Destruction Sword Dao, left by the white light within his heart, emerged. The previously scattered and chaotic power of destruction, guided by his sword-finger, turned its direction and slashed down towards the charging First Underworld General.

BOOM! Seeing Chen Mobai appear, the First Underworld General immediately swung the holy scythe in his hand. After dodging the destructive white light, he heavily slashed towards Chen Mobai's neck. In response, Chen Mobai merely raised his right hand. The white light of the Lingxiao Immortal Armor, covering his arm and fingers, flared, directly gripping the incoming dark scythe. The Great Dao of Destruction collided with the Great Dao of Death. The First Underworld General's body, holding the scythe, seemed unable to withstand the clash of the two Great Daos, abruptly stiffening in mid-air for an instant.

Chen Mobai did not let this opportunity pass. Although his destructive avatar also fluctuated violently under the impact of the Great Dao of Death, appearing and disappearing, he instantly formed his left hand into a sword-finger and unleashed a white light slash. The First Underworld General, though recovering in time to dodge, found his scythe firmly gripped by Chen Mobai. He could only spin his body along the scythe's long handle, but the pure white radiance still grazed his waist and abdomen, instantly charring that portion of his flesh as if it had been scorched. Compared to other beings like the Underworld King, who were directly vaporized, the First Underworld General's physique was indeed incredibly strong, able to directly withstand the power of destruction. *PENG!* At this moment, Chen Mobai's destructive avatar also dissipated, signifying the First Underworld General's formidable power.

Unfortunately, after annihilating ninety-nine percent of the living beings on Pluto, the power of the Great Dao of Destruction, which had originally been just a single beam, suddenly expanded and erupted, enveloping every part of the entire planet. Soon, another destructive avatar of Chen Mobai anthropomorphized from the white light surging from the planet's surface. Under his focused attention, in just a few breaths, hundreds of pure white lights densely filled the void around the First Underworld General. The latter was like playing a bullet-dodging game, where a single hit meant death.

Gradually, the space for the First Underworld General to dodge and maneuver grew smaller. Despair appeared on his face. He swung the holy scythe in his hand, cutting a dark crescent light blade towards the starry sky, hoping to use his last reserves of power to open an escape path from Pluto for the Underworld King and Queen. Unfortunately, with Chen Mobai's mental command, dense destructive white light intertwined above the First Underworld General's head, forming layered, almost infinite nets of destructive light that covered the entire planet Pluto. The crescent light blade slashed by the First Underworld General forcibly cut through six layers of destructive light nets before finally exhausting its power.

Silently, the holy scythe in the First Underworld General's hand, riddled with nicks and cracks, finally reached its limit. Engulfed by the endless destructive white light, it shattered and melted into dark liquid droplets, releasing a potent and pure burst of the Great Dao of Death. This power of the Great Dao of Death once again pushed back the surging destructive white light, creating a small space.

Seeing this, the First Underworld General unleashed all his vital energy, transforming into a colossal four-headed, eight-armed Dharma Idol, and launched a punch infused with all his burning power towards the sky. *HUM!* Chen Mobai felt the net of destructive light, which enveloped the entire planet Pluto, suddenly bulge. This was the First Underworld General's final struggle. But in the face of the Great Dao of Destruction, it was still futile. Having exhausted all his essence, the First Underworld General no longer had the strength to dodge and was completely enveloped by the endless destructive white light. Subsequently, this First Underworld General, second only to the Underworld King and Queen in the Underworld race, began to burn, turning charred black all over. His powerful physique, almost capable of rebirth from a single drop of blood, only managed to endure for a few more breaths before, under the shocked gazes of the Underworld King and Queen, he was annihilated into a bloody mist, slightly staining the unrestrained pure white radiance. This was also the only color left by the Underworld race within the destructive purity.

"Only you remain!" Chen Mobai, in his destructive avatar cloaked in the Lingxiao Immortal Armor, appeared before the Underworld Queen. As for the Underworld King in her arms, Chen Mobai had already considered him dead. "If I beg for mercy now, will you spare us?" the Underworld Queen asked, her voice trembling. "No," Chen Mobai replied with just those two words. Then, he raised his right hand. The endless white light, which had already completely submerged Pluto, surged behind him like colossal waves of white sword light, weaving into layer upon layer of frenzied currents that swept towards the Underworld Queen.

Despair appeared on the Underworld Queen's face. The Underworld King's head in her arms struggled, seemingly wanting to do something. But at that moment, the Underworld Queen suddenly opened her mouth and directly consumed the Underworld King. Simultaneously, Chen Mobai perceived that the remaining power of the Great Dao of Death on the planet, under the impact of the destructive white light, began to flow continuously towards the Underworld Queen as its center. On Pluto, what had not yet been destroyed were the River of Death and the Lake of Reincarnation, both possessing a sixth-tier essence. Originally, the former belonged to the Underworld King, and the latter to the Underworld Queen. But at this instant, they fused within the Underworld Queen's body. Any Soul Transformation cultivator gaining this power would be devoured by the Great Dao of Death, but the Underworld Queen forcibly controlled it using her eyes, even showing signs of truly breaking through to the Void Refinement stage.

It was at this moment that Chen Mobai understood: the Underworld Queen was not truly at the Void Refinement stage, but merely possessed some characteristics of it. "A pity," Chen Mobai remarked. "In a different time and place, perhaps you would have succeeded." Seeing signs of the Underworld Queen's aura rising and breaking through, Chen Mobai directly unleashed all the destructive white light, covering and engulfing her. Under the impact of the Great Dao of Destruction, the Great Dao of Death, which the Underworld Queen had barely managed to control with her eyes, completely spiraled into chaos. Once out of control, the Great Dao of Destruction wasn't even needed. Dark liquid overflowed from the Underworld Queen's entire body. Her soul essence was, in turn, devoured by the Great Dao of Death, and she lost all vitality.

In the starry sky, the previously dark and profound Pluto was, at that moment, enveloped by an endless flood of pure white radiance. Then, after a blinding flash of light, it dissipated into the dark cosmos.
