Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Majestic Heavenly Might, The Final Battle’s Conclusion

BOOM!

The treetop platform shattered. The entire Divine Tree began to collapse like a landslide!

As the Divine Tree collapsed, the black-and-red curtain of sky that had enveloped Weiyuan Immortal City abruptly vanished, like a bubble under the scorching sun.

Warm sunlight spilled in from the outside, bringing long-awaited brightness to the immortal city.

Sensing the faint light from outside, the countless cultivators huddled in shelters to escape the crisis stared blankly. A flicker of hope appeared in their eyes.

"Has the sky cleared?"

"Is the chaos over?"

At that moment, within the immortal city,

The massive, pitch-black Ghostly Flood Dragon hovered in the sky. Blood-red array patterns flowed across its hull, powered by the ability of Magnetic Reversal.

Its sky-blotting shadow fell over the collapsing Divine Tree below.

Su Ye stood with a grim expression, his black robes whipping in the wind.

He stood at the prow of the ship. With a flicker of his Divine Sense, he locked onto the Blind Saintess as she fell below.

After the Divine Tree was destroyed, every living creature on the treetop platform—aside from the Ghostly Flood Dragon—was plummeting downwards.

However, Su Ye didn’t believe that the fall from the collapsing Divine Tree would be enough to kill the Blind Saintess.

Even though the Divine Tree was nearly ten thousand feet tall, trying to kill a Tier Three existence by relying on the height alone...

...was practically impossible!

Even the Demon Kings, who were severely weakened after having so much of their blood essence drained by the Four Elements Locking Heaven Orbit, probably wouldn’t die from the fall.

Of course...

...that wasn’t Su Ye’s intention.

’This tree provided you with a massive boost, didn’t it?’

Su Ye muttered slowly to himself, his eyes fixed on the Blind Saintess.

With his spiritual perception and Divine Sense, he could naturally feel the intimate connection between the Divine Tree and the Saintess.

This Divine Tree was tantamount to the Blind Saintess’s personal domain, her home turf.

Here, she could receive an unparalleled boost in power.

Meanwhile, her opponents would have their Magical Power and Divine Sense suppressed, drastically reducing their combat effectiveness.

This was why the Blind Saintess had been able to single-handedly overwhelm three masters at the Crystal Perfection realm!

However, since she had enjoyed the enhancement from the Divine Tree...

...it was obvious that the tree’s destruction would also cause her power to plummet!

’Without this tree, you’re just another cultivator at Tier Three Peak...’

’...And a greatly depleted one at that, after such a long and intense battle...’

Su Ye’s gaze was ice-cold.

A torrent of killing intent seethed within him!

BUZZ!

His consciousness sank into his Dantian Qi Sea.

With a thought, his Divine Sense connected to the spinning, scarlet, diamond-shaped crystal within his Magic Power Crystal.

[Divine Technique Seed: Soul-Chasing, Life-Reaping]

BUZZ!

The scarlet Divine Seed erupted in brilliant light.

In an instant, the world around Su Ye fell silent.

The Soul Horizon—a dim, colorless world of black and white—unfolded before his eyes.

SHING.

A scarlet spear materialized in his hand.

Slaughter, annihilation, the end of all things!

Empowered by the Divine Seed, Su Ye’s Divine Sense locked onto the Blind Saintess’s soul.

And then...

The scarlet spear vanished from sight!

’Die...’

...

WHOOSH.

Falling.

An endless fall.

The wind howled past her ears.

Amidst the countless fragments of the collapsing Divine Tree, the Blind Saintess’s slender, frail body continued to plummet.

As she felt the pull of gravity and the sensation of her body rapidly accelerating downwards, a thought surfaced in her mind.

’The plan failed. The Divine Tree has been destroyed...’

’And in my current state, without the Divine Tree’s support, I have almost...’

’...no chance of survival...’

In truth, the Blind Saintess’s condition was far worse than Su Ye had imagined.

After all, the Erosion of Nothingness was an ability she should only have been able to use after ascending to the fourth tier.

Yet, in this battle, the Blind Saintess had unleashed the Erosion of Nothingness nearly ten times while only at the third tier.

Even at her peak, she couldn’t have activated it so many times in such a short period.

She had only been able to accomplish this by relying entirely on the power of the Divine Tree.

And now that the Divine Tree she relied upon had collapsed...

...the backlash she had been forcibly suppressing immediately erupted!

BUZZ!

Blood-red cracks originating from her left eye began to spread rapidly across her body.

The annihilating power of the Erosion of Nothingness was extinguishing her life force.

And to make matters even worse, the Blind Saintess tilted her head up slightly. The extraordinary senses she had gained in exchange for her sight allowed her to perceive with perfect clarity a scarlet spear heading straight for her!

The aura of death washed over her!

’I’m going to die.’

Realizing this, time itself seemed to slow down for her in that instant.

Her mind seemed to grasp at something, yet came up empty.

All that surfaced in her heart was a faint trace of unwillingness to accept her fate.

"In the end... am I still going to lose?"

"Is this..."

"...the unchallengeable will of heaven?"

However, at that very moment,

Around her, the falling remnants of the Divine Tree suddenly began to glow!

The many fragments shattered in an instant!

They transformed into specks of light, like fireflies, and converged upon her!

"What is this?!"

"So warm..." the Blind Saintess murmured, her mind blank.

It was the Divine Tree’s final gift... to Its child, Its believer!

POW!

A brilliant light bloomed!

A resplendent floral insignia blossomed out from the Blind Saintess!

...

Meanwhile.

Aboard the Ghostly Flood Dragon.

Su Ye’s pupils suddenly constricted.

In that instant, he received two distinct pieces of feedback in his mind.

First, the Quasi-Technique he had placed his hopes in, [Soul-Chasing, Life-Reaping], had failed to kill his opponent.

Second, an incredibly terrifying fluctuation of Spiritual Power was ascending at high speed!

BUZZ!

Su Ye’s Divine Sense stirred, and an image appeared in his eyes.

The Blind Saintess’s snowy hair billowed as the floral insignia blossomed behind her.

She was now clad in a set of golden-white spiritual armor, similar to that of the Demon Wood Divine General, but far more elegant, sacred, and majestic!

This divine spiritual armor was etched with magnificent and complex Spirit Patterns.

It radiated an incomparably dazzling, brilliant light!

If someone were looking from miles away at this moment,

...they would see the Ghostly Flood Dragon suspended high in the air, while a golden-white meteor shot rapidly upward toward it!

In that instant, an extreme sense of danger gripped Su Ye’s heart!

His spiritual perception was screaming warnings, like a Geiger counter at ground zero of a nuclear blast.

Tier Four!

This was definitely a Tier Four-level attack!

Su Ye’s heart sank.

The empowerment from the Netherworld Boat was already starting to fade.

In its current state, the Ghostly Flood Dragon could not possibly block this attack!

’Then... what do I have left to block this attack?’

Su Ye fell silent for a moment.

Then, he found his answer.

"Haaa..."

For a moment, even the air itself seemed to grow scorching hot.

Su Ye raised his head. Deep within his profound eyes, something seemed to be stirring.

"Tier Four... so what?!"

BUZZ!

An incomparably pure, azure-blue light suddenly flared to life!

In the sky, lead-gray storm clouds gathered, covering an area for dozens of miles!

Gale-force winds howled, and lightning flashed as thunder roared!

RUMBLE!!!

An incandescent bolt of lightning descended from the heavens!

In an instant, the world was awash in blinding white light!

The glorious might of the heavens!

Wielding wind and thunder—the Monarch of Calamity!
