Chapter 1212: Destruction of the Giant Troll, Hundred-Armed Giant

**Main Content**

Void Refinement!

This Three-Eyed King was definitely at the Void Refinement stage!

The moment Chen Mobai met his gaze, his face was filled with shock. He didn't need the Echo of the Empty Valley to understand the formidable strength of this enemy before him. This was the Tongtian Zhi, the most intense warning he had ever received.

This was a powerful enemy he absolutely could not resist.

If the Three-Eyed Race had a Void Refinement King, why did they flee the Tianyang Galaxy after witnessing Pluto's annihilation?

It's important to note that while the annihilation of Pluto was a huge event, for beings at the Void Refinement stage, destroying a planet and billions of lives is merely a matter of time. The gap between the Spirit Transformation and Void Refinement stages is an unbridgeable chasm!

Even Chen Mobai, a Spirit Transformation cultivator of extraordinary power, could only rely on the Primordial Bell to withstand attacks. It was at this moment that the World-Annihilating Millstone in his sea of consciousness, which had been dormant for a long time, lit up.

As its three thousand facets rotated, one of them shone brightly, aimed at the Three-Eyed King who was coldly looking up towards the gate of the Purple Lightning Palace. Subsequently, a brief introduction to the Three-Eyed Race appeared in Chen Mobai's mind.

Ruin Demon!

One of the Three Thousand Demonic Paths, a giant with a Ruinous Eye on its forehead. As it ages, this eye can absorb and refine the power of the Great Dao of Ruin, growing more arms. Upon reaching its peak, it can destroy laws, spirits, and daos.

Upon learning this, Chen Mobai's expression grew even more solemn.

He had previously learned about the Three Thousand Great Daos through the World Gate, knowing that the Great Dao of Ruin was subordinate to the Great Dao of Destruction. After mastering the Great Dao of Ruin, it was possible to ascend to the Innate Great Dao of Destruction.

However, precisely because of this, the Great Dao of Ruin would be utterly powerless against the Great Dao of Destruction.

It turned out that it wasn't the annihilation of Pluto that frightened the Three-Eyed King away, but the destructive white light from the Chaos Primordial Cannon unleashed by the Immortal Sect that sent the Three-Eyed Race fleeing in disarray. Upon learning this, Chen Mobai let out a slight sigh of relief.

After years of recuperation, the Immortal Sect could unleash the Chaos Primordial Cannon once more, if it were to sacrifice all its foundational resources. However, doing so would render the entire Diyuan Star completely lifeless, perhaps even causing it to disintegrate due to its spiritual veins being depleted.

But possessing a power that could make the Three-Eyed Race wary meant that even if they returned to attack, there was no need to worry about being defenseless. At this moment, Chen Mobai thought of Bai Guang again.

She was a Void Refinement cultivator who had comprehended the Innate Great Dao of Destruction. If she returned, she could easily sweep away the entire Three-Eyed Race. He wondered about the outcome of her battle with the Grim Reaper's True Body.

Chen Mobai's feelings towards his inexplicable wife had evolved from complicated to gradually accepting. Occasionally, when enjoying family time with his daughter, he would think of her. He had already acknowledged her identity as the child's mother.

Just as Chen Mobai was thinking of Bai Guang, a vast fluctuation emanated from outside the Purple Lightning Palace, reaching his ears.

He had just learned the Three-Eyed Race's language through the Rhythm of Five Tones and immediately discerned the meaning of the phrase: "Who are you, noble one?" Chen Mobai hadn't expected the Three-Eyed King, a Void Refinement cultivator, to be so courteous.

However, realizing he was now standing at the gate of the Purple Lightning Palace, representing the Purple Lightning Daoist Master, he understood. A mere Void Refinement cultivator, in the presence of the Purple Lightning Daoist Master, would at best be able to sit in a middle position to listen to lectures.

Chen Mobai immediately cast aside his fear of the Void Refinement stage. With a calm expression, he walked to the very edge of the stone platform in front of the gate and, using their language, recited a poetic verse to the hundred-meter tall, six-armed giant who led the entire Three-Eyed Race:

"Reclining high in the Ninefold Clouds, the True Dao realized upon a meditation cushion. Beyond the Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth, my Master, the Honored Patriarch, presides."

Thus declaring his identity as a disciple of the Purple Lightning Daoist Master.

However, the Three-Eyed King's expression was strange, showing disbelief mixed with suspicion, as if he hadn't expected a living being to emerge from the Purple Lightning Palace. Perhaps this planet was very special?

After a moment of thought, the Three-Eyed King gazed at the Three Thousand Great Dao steps and stone platform that stretched before him, then raised his massive foot and stepped onto them.

Then Chen Mobai saw that as the Three-Eyed King's foot landed, the originally modest steps suddenly expanded, continually growing to precisely the size needed to accommodate his foot.

Chen Mobai was greatly surprised by this, but the Three-Eyed Race seemed accustomed to it.

And as the Three-Eyed King ascended the steps, the planet, which had been continuously shaking due to his awakening, finally began to quiet down.

Chen Mobai used his Earth Spirit Response to perceive the planet's ley lines and found piles of white bones buried beneath the earth. From their appearance, these were not the corpses of the Three-Eyed Race, but of another species.

He thought of Dragon God Star and continued to probe towards the planet's core.

Sure enough, he discovered that the most crucial planetary core had been mostly devoured, leaving a gaping hole, and the demonic thoughts within it had vanished.

Clearly, the planet beneath his feet was not the Three-Eyed Race's original home world, but a planet they had captured. The native species on the planet had long been slaughtered by the Three-Eyed Race, just like on Dragon God Star, where all living beings were consumed by the Matriarch.

All the planet's resources and spiritual veins, apart from what the Three-Eyed Race required, had been fed to the Heaven-Piercing Divine Wood where the Purple Lightning Palace descended. No wonder the Three-Eyed Race wasn't named after a star, like Pluto.

Because this race, after devouring their original home world, used demonic thoughts as a guide to continuously capture other demon-infected planets in the universe. After emptying one planet, they would move on to the next one rich in resources and teeming with life.

It was unknown how many planets the Three-Eyed Race had consumed, including the one beneath his feet.

After Chen Mobai understood all this, his first thought was: fortunately, the Three-Eyed Race didn't have a World Gate; if they did, they would have accumulated a lot of Dao Merits. But upon realizing this, Chen Mobai felt another pang of regret.

So many Dao Merits wasted.

As the Three-Eyed King continued to advance towards the Purple Lightning Palace, Chen Mobai noticed that the other Three-Eyed Race members remained motionless, seemingly waiting for the King to descend from the palace before they dared to approach.

In response, Chen Mobai tried the Azure Lotus Seal again. After confirming his invincibility within the Purple Lightning Palace, he confidently sat cross-legged in the center of the stone platform before the threshold, beginning to comprehend the materialized Innate Great Dao.

This was the Great Dao of Destruction!

Chen Mobai had just recently fired the Chaos Primordial Cannon and wielded destructive power, so he had some foundation. Furthermore, Bai Guang had previously left behind corresponding legacy sword intents. Thus, he quickly gained insights.

Destruction is the Great Dao of Termination.

Like Nirvana, it is one of the few terrifying Great Daos among the Three Thousand Great Daos capable of slaying beings who have achieved Dao Integration. The end of the universe signals the advent of the Final Tribulation.

However, if the Final Tribulation were prevented from arriving, the universe would be unable to enter its cycle of conclusion and reboot.

But if it couldn't conclude and reboot, the increasing number of Void Refinement cultivators would cause space to collapse, ultimately leading to a collision of the Three Thousand Great Daos, resulting in complete annihilation and eternal dissipation.

At this point, the universe, in its bid for self-preservation, would cause Great Daos of Termination to emerge and seek hosts—for instance, true spirits from the Ruin Demon race who had integrated with the Great Dao of Ruin. These beings could become Lords of Destruction, inheriting the mandate of heaven to purge all beings in the universe who prevent the advent of the Final Tribulation.

And facing a Lord of Destruction, even a Pure Yang Grand Master could not escape the fate of being terminated. This is a law of the Great Dao that cannot be stopped, nor should it be.

To resist termination, apart from a few limited Innate Great Daos like Nirvana, one could only transcend the universe and attain eternal Dao.

The Dharma Realm Chen Mobai cultivated, if it could successfully complete the steps of evolving the Three Thousand Great Daos from the Mahayana Heavenly Tome, would also be a way to evade termination. Each reboot of the universe was referred to by the Xuanmen as "one epoch."

Could it be that Master Zilei was a being who survived the destruction of the previous epoch?

This thought suddenly flashed in Chen Mobai's mind after he comprehended the mysteries of epochs from the Great Dao of Destruction. The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

After a universe reboot, the Three Thousand Great Daos would surely re-emerge. Beings who survived the previous epoch could seize this opportunity to master the Three Thousand Great Daos and achieve creation. However, this was also Chen Mobai's guess, because if that were the case, many ancient beings similar to Master Zilei would surely awaken and contend for the position of creation.

Judging by the Pure Yang Scroll left by Master Zilei, he clearly wasn't formidable in combat; it was probably suppression through realm.

In that case, perhaps it wasn't a universal reboot, but rather creating a new universe independently, mastering the Three Thousand Great Daos, and achieving creation. After all, Chen Mobai had attended lectures in the Purple Lightning Palace before, and Master Zilei's last two lessons before his transcendence were precisely about these topics.

As Chen Mobai continued to comprehend the Great Dao of Destruction, footsteps rapidly approached him from a distance. He could only open his eyes and look at the Three-Eyed King, who was now very close.

A few breaths later, the hundred-meter-tall, six-armed giant stepped onto the last stone platform before the Purple Lightning Palace gate. Facing Chen Mobai, who was seated cross-legged in the center of the platform, he too sat down, cross-legged.

"Your form and aura seem somewhat familiar."

After the Three-Eyed King sat down, his dark gray pupils stared directly at the tiny Chen Mobai before him, then he suddenly spoke this sentence. "Oh, how so familiar?"

Combat was impossible within the Purple Lightning Palace, and with the Azure Lotus Seal in hand, Chen Mobai wasn't worried about his life. He replied with a calm expression, "My grandfather failed while conquering a planet. In his lingering memories, there was an appearance resembling your race."

The Three-Eyed King spoke with a calm expression, but his Ruinous Eye on his forehead opened slightly, revealing a sliver. A ray of spell-breaking divine light caused the planet, which had just calmed down, to begin shaking violently once more.

Chen Mobai had a feeling that if this ray of spell-breaking divine light landed on him, he would instantly vanish into thin air.

"That must be it. If the aura is familiar, is it because you saw me wielding the Great Dao of Destruction to annihilate Pluto?" Although Chen Mobai's cultivation realm was inferior, the Purple Lightning Palace behind him gave him immense confidence. He even felt a slight anticipation for the Three-Eyed King to make a move, so he directly admitted his identity.

"It really is you!"

When the Three-Eyed King heard Chen Mobai's words, the Ruinous Eye on his forehead suddenly opened wide. Grayish-white spell-breaking divine light swirled continuously within its pupil, seemingly ready to unleash at any moment. Chen Mobai's heart tightened, his right hand already forming the Azure Lotus Seal.

However, the Three-Eyed King did not attack; it was merely a deterrence.

Seeing Chen Mobai's composure, the Three-Eyed King somewhat disappointedly closed the eye on his forehead. "What a pity. If we weren't here, you would already be dust."

Hearing the Three-Eyed King's words, Chen Mobai couldn't help but chuckle. Then he raised his left hand, and wisps of destructive white light rose from his palm. "Your Ruinous Eye, upon encountering the Great Dao of Destruction, would be turned to ashes, wouldn't it?"

The Three-Eyed King squinted slightly at the destructive white light in Chen Mobai's palm, but fearlessly shook his head: "Too little. Only the vast white light that annihilated Pluto could possibly gravely injure me."

Although the Great Dao of Ruin was subordinate to the Great Dao of Destruction, Chen Mobai had only just cultivated a tiny bit of destructive power with the help of the stone platform. Compared to the Three-Eyed King, who was already at the Void Refinement stage, it was at most like a small needle prick.

It would hurt, but only that much.

To this, Chen Mobai calmly said, "If you come to our galaxy again, I can entertain you just as I entertained Pluto." The Three-Eyed King fell silent.

With his cultivation realm, his lifespan was long, and there was simply no need to gamble on whether the other party could fire the Chaos Primordial Cannon again just for a planet. If he had a penchant for adventure, he would have led the Three-Eyed Race to charge forward when the Immortal Sect annihilated Pluto.

The bloodline of the Ruin Demon, when cultivated to its peak, could become a Tier Seven hundred-armed giant capable of destroying laws and daos.

By then, even a Dao Integration True Immortal would have to retreat three paces when facing him, having fully comprehended the Great Dao of Ruin. "When I reach Tier Seven, I will come."

Upon hearing the Three-Eyed King's words, killing intent surged within Chen Mobai.

Although he knew that true spirits capable of advancing to Tier Seven were few and far between in the universe, what if?

With such a formidable enemy constantly eyeing the Immortal Sect, wandering the universe and capturing planets, Chen Mobai would not rest easy, even if he left Diyuan Star. It was a pity that Bai Guang was currently tied up by the Grim Reaper's True Body.

Otherwise, with her comprehension of the Great Dao of Destruction, dealing with the Three-Eyed King would be as easy as slicing melons and dicing vegetables. "When you come, I will put on the most magnificent white fireworks display for you."

After Chen Mobai finished speaking, he rose from the stone platform and, without a glance at the Three-Eyed King before him, turned and stepped directly into the Purple Lightning Palace. Watching his retreating figure, the Three-Eyed King's Ruinous Eye on his forehead opened, and spell-breaking divine light began to gather.

But in the end, the Three-Eyed King did not make a move.

His race had annihilated countless planets, and the foremost among the seven great taboos passed down through their ancestral memories was that no combat could occur within this stone palace.
