Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent-Chapter 555: Impudence

Such talent... thought White Mirror, his mind reeling with shock.

He was deeply shaken. "Impossible..."

As a member of Shana Divine Mountain, he had seen countless unruly geniuses who despised rules and restrictions. But achieving the Perfect realm without even stepping into the Astral World—this was unheard of.

Crack!

At that moment, the arm Li Pin used to grip White Mirror's Reaper Blade suddenly split open.

Cracks spread at an alarming speed all over him before he collapsed completely, reduced to dust.

The remaining force even threatened to destroy his Natal Planet—the true core of a Divine Being.

This jolted White Mirror out of his shock. "A flash of enlightenment?"

White Mirror thought, that must be it. Life-and-death moments often triggered such realizations. Many unlocked unimaginable potentials when facing the brink of death. Such occurrences were not uncommon.

Just as White Mirror prepared to strike again and shatter Li Pin's Natal Planet completely, a single drop of water enveloped him.

It was a mere droplet, yet it carried the weight of an entire world. The gravity it generated distorted the surrounding space. It seemed as though a black hole had formed around White Mirror's avatar.

A sharp glint flashed through his eyes. "Primal Force Water!?"

The one who had restrained him wasn't Li Pin—it was Yu Zhenxuan, who had just been fighting alongside him moments ago.

He abandoned his pursuit of Li Pin. His blade twisted mid-air, its edge brimming with condensed power as he struck the forcefield formed by the Primal Force Water.

The slash tore through the heavens. His avatar shattered the oppressive gravity field.

Meanwhile, Li Pin remained immersed in that profound realization.

It was... a state beyond all shackles, beyond all limits—absolute control over power itself.

He was power; power was him.

No longer confined by energy, matter, or spirit. No longer divided into Vitality, Qi, and Spirit. Even the distinction between himself and his Natal Planet had vanished.

Power now flowed like an extension of his limbs.

No. Not even that. It was an extension of his inner spirit. With a single thought, power arose.

That feeling... was intoxicating.

Li Pin marveled from the depths of his heart. "So marvelous... so perfect."

Having grasped such a state, even if he perished in this battle, it would be worth it.

Just as Li Pin prepared to wield the Ruoxi Sword for a true fight to the death, something felt off. His shattered body had already been reconstructed, and the destructive force threatening his Natal Planet had been completely suppressed and erased.

Yet... White Mirror still hadn't resumed his attack? Li Pin's thoughts raced, and his perception expanded. He was stunned. "Why are you two fighting now?"

He charged forward again, but this time, White Mirror was determined to deal with Yu Zhenxuan first. He knew exactly what Li Pin was capable of. If he could kill Yu Zhenxuan's avatar, Li Pin would be an easy target afterward.

The problem was that Yu Zhenxuan's True Body could be nearby. If he was, and the location happened to overlap with this starry region, he could summon an endless number of avatars...

No—he wouldn't even need endless avatars. Once the Divine Treasury Hall detected something unusual, reinforcements would arrive, and today's mission would be a total failure.

So, kill first, ask questions later.

With this thought in mind, White Mirror's avatar instantly vanished from Yu Zhenxuan's perception.

Yu Zhenxuan was immediately appalled. "A second Divine Weapon!? Damn!"

Suddenly, golden light erupted from him as he transformed into billions of golden rays that scattered in all directions.

This was his life-saving technique. It allowed him to escape the crisis before recondensing.

In the next instant, White Mirror's avatar reappeared. A terrifying binding force at the tip of his blade began pulling all the escaping golden lights back together, merging them into one.

Before White Mirror could fully unleash the power of the Reaper Blade, Li Pin arrived. "Stop!"

His Vacuum Pulverizer strike, infused with pure power, collided with White Mirror's blade, sending violent tremors through the Divine Weapon, as if struck by a falling star.

Yu Zhenxuan seized the opportunity to retreat at full speed, dissolving into flowing light and escaping the black-hole-like forcefield of the blade.

"Scram! I'll deal with you later!" White Mirror howled, his weapon shaking violently.

The surrounding space was torn apart, forming visible ripples.

As the ripples spread, White Mirror took a single step and activated the mystic power of the Singularity Pearl. It was as if he were stepping on the strings of another dimension. In an instant, he appeared tens of thousands of meters away, right behind the retreating Yu Zhenxuan, and his blade came down again.

Yu Zhenxuan's eyes flashed coldly. "Do you really think I fear you!?"

He resonated with the three Quasi-Divine Weapons in his hands, and a towering demonic phantom appeared behind him. With a sacred seal, the phantom blasted toward White Mirror's combat-specialized avatar.

The sacred seal and blade collided in the void, causing space to collapse, plunging the area into darkness.

What followed was a blinding light erupting at the point of impact. It resembled a miniature supernova. Energy rays and torrents of destruction surged outward at the speed of light, sweeping in all directions like a tidal wave.

A nearby asteroid, several dozen kilometers wide, was instantly pulverized by the energy storm.

At this level of combat, neither avatar could perfectly control every ounce of their power, leading to significant energy wastage with each clash.

Fortunately, the battle wasn't taking place in the Astral World. If the Eternal Oblivion Force had detected these wasted energies, the burden on both would have skyrocketed.

***

In the distance, as the White Mirror Astral God's avatar revealed its true power, Yu Hanyan, Yu Yu, Ao Qingcang, and the others were left paralyzed with fear, unable to speak.

Yu Hanyan, especially, had been full of confidence earlier, certain of her clan's strength. But she never expected that while she could summon an avatar of her clan's grand patriarch, Li Pin could do the same. Furthermore, his avatar was combat-focused.

However, the battle unfolding was not what they had anticipated. The newly arrived Astral God's avatar was targeting Li Pin as well. As the situation shifted again, the mysterious Astral God joined forces with her grand patriarch against Li Pin.

Then, her grand patriarch and the Astral God's avatar began to clash. Li Pin, unexpectedly, sided with her grand patriarch. And now, her grand patriarch was locked in combat with the Astral God once again....

The whole scene had descended into utter confusion. No one could tell who was fighting whom anymore. Was this what happened when three factions became involved in a conflict? It was like a three-body problem, with everything collapsing into complete disorder.[1]

Nevertheless, feeling the terrifying energy waves emanating from the battle, even the Tier Five Legend Yu Yu trembled with fear. She didn't dare to breathe, afraid that disturbing the fight between the three elite combatants could lead to their utter destruction from a random strike.

***

Li Pin looked at the two Astral God's avatars, who were on the brink of a full-on battle. Reluctantly, he unsheathed the Ruoxi Sword, which he had kept hidden until now. "Aren't you two here for me? Or more precisely, for the Solar Flare Divine Weapon in my hands?"

He raised the sword high. "The Divine Weapon is still in my grasp. And yet, you've turned on each other. Do you not fear exhausting yourselves in battle, only to hand me the final victory?"

The moment the Solar Flare Divine Weapon appeared, both Astral Gods' eyes burned with greed.

Yu Zhenxuan tried to speak, but the White Mirror Astral God's avatar stopped him from doing so. He knew exactly what needed to be done.

Yu Zhenxuan's avatar was the greatest variable—only by eliminating him could he move freely, capture Li Pin, extract every secret of the Mara Divine Treasure World, and claim all of Li Pin's spoils for himself.

White Mirror sneered. Claim victory!?

The White Mirror Astral God's avatar spoke with icy contempt. "Do you really think a piece of trash like him could ever push me to my limits!? And you—nothing more than a lamb walking into the tiger's den—what right do you have to claim victory?"

Yu Zhenxuan, who had considered withdrawing, instantly roared, "Who are you calling trash!?"

At the next instant, across a dimension—both distant and near—an invisible ripple spread from the depths of the Astral World. Something immensely terrifying was approaching at breakneck speed.

Though the True Body had yet to arrive, the pressure, far surpassing that of the Astral God's avatar, had already descended, sending a primal warning deep within the soul.

"An Astral God's true form!?"

The White Mirror Astral God's avatar expression changed. But an Astral God with unwavering conviction would never cower in such a situation. His response was a blade light even more radiant than before. "Kill!"

***

Watching the two Astral Gods clash again, Li Pin finally lost his patience. "Enough!" novelbuddy-cσ๓

His fury surged into the void of space, interwoven with boundless battle intent. His inner spirit, already pushed to the peak, entered a state of extreme overload.

The original crimson flames around him darkened into a deep red, exuding an ominous and perilous aura.

Stage Three Limit Break State!

Rumble, rumble!

Blinding light erupted.

Eternal Light, Fleeting Gleam!

In an instant, Li Pin appeared in front of White Mirror.

Just as White Mirror sensed something amiss, a terrifying Sword Intent—one that could shake the very depths of the soul—crushed down on his consciousness, freezing his thoughts for a moment.

"Who gave you the courage to act before defeating me!?"

Yu Zhenxuan sensed the impending danger and quickly tried to retreat by bursting into golden light. "No!"

But what followed was a world unfolding.

The power of Li Pin's Natal Planet descended, locking this space in place.

With his inner spirit shaken by the Ruoxi Sword's overwhelming intent, Yu Zhenxuan could only watch as the Solar Flare Divine Weapon—its devastating strike surpassing even the limits of time and space—pierced through him.

Buzz! Buzz!

Atomic disintegration.

The void collapsed.

An Astral God's avatar, with Power Level nearing 200,000, was instantly annihilated!
