In one of the worlds in the central region of heaven called Severin Star, which lies more than twenty million kilometers away from Arsien Star, the devils fell into confusion after sensing an overwhelming sword will. They did not know where it came from, yet it shook them to their core.

The sword will was so powerful that many felt as if they would die from sensing it alone.

While they remained confused and spoke among themselves, a golden line suddenly appeared across the sky. At first, it was thin and distant, but as time passed, it rapidly expanded, growing larger and more terrifying before it finally crashed into the world itself.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The moment the slash energy from Slash of the End struck the world, a planet comparable in size to Akares Star trembled violently. A massive earthquake spread across the planet’s surface, the most powerful any being on this world had ever experienced.

The ground split apart, and towering tsunamis rose from every ocean. The world erupted with the sudden awakening of countless supervolcanoes across its surface. The catastrophe swept across the entire world without mercy.

An apocalypse had descended upon Severin Star.

At that very moment, anyone in the space could clearly see that Severin Star had been split into two, almost perfectly down the middle.

The devils in the distant space who witnessed this felt their hearts shake and their eyes tremble at the sight.

The two halves of the world began to break apart. The planet’s core became visible, already split into two. It quickly turned unstable as everything collapsed. The core lost its shape, and gravity itself fell into chaos, causing fragments of land to scatter in every direction into space.

Severin Star had met its doom.

Yet the slash energy of Slash of the End continued to travel into the distance. No one knew how long it would last before its power was completely exhausted. It might take years before the energy finally dissipated.

On Aldrian’s battlefield, he had already canceled his avatar technique. Sweat rolled down his forehead, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he endured a growing headache. He looked exhausted.

In truth, it was not only a headache. His entire body ached with soreness, as if he had forced himself far beyond his limits, and now the consequences had arrived.

Every fiber of his muscles and all of his meridians seemed to scream in protest, standing on the brink of collapse. They demanded rest.

Even so, he ignored it and turned his gaze toward the two gods, who at this moment had already been split into two.

They were still alive, which caused a faint smile to appear on his face.

He instantly teleported them into his grasp. His hands closed around their necks, forcing their eyes to widen in shock.

Without giving them any chance, Aldrian released lightning element, electrocuting them. Their bodies trembled violently as lightning surged through them. Their meridians were slowly burned and destroyed, preventing them from circulating their energy.

The process was agonizing. The two gods felt as if their bodies were being torn apart. Their bodies had not yet fully reached divinity, and once their meridians were destroyed, they were no different from cripples.

Despite the headache, which he tried to soothe with his golden energy, he still maintained a calm expression before them, as if nothing had happened.

"Are you also part of the group that pursued Long Shentian and Feng Xuanyan?" Aldrian asked.

The two gods did not respond. They were still enduring extreme pain after their meridians had been fried and their dantian damaged. They could not escape, nor could they do anything. Weakness filled them, along with a deep sense of humiliation.

They had never felt such humiliation before. To be reduced to this state by a mere mortal was something they could not accept.

It only deepened their hatred toward Aldrian.

The black-robed god forced a smile despite the pain twisting his body.

"What do you think? Maybe we are, or maybe not," he said in a mocking tone.

Even though he had fallen into the hands of a mortal, he would never beg. He still held onto his dignity as a cultivator of the Divine Realm. The thought of begging a mortal felt even worse than death.

Losing to a mortal had already humiliated him enough. He would not further disgrace himself by pleading for mercy.

That answer was enough for Aldrian. He could sense their emotions and understand their intent.

Without another word, he ended them in the same way he had dealt with the goddess earlier. Death energy surged from his palm, consuming their entire beings.

At first, they tried to hold back their voices, refusing to let any sound of pain escape their lips. They did not want to make their final moments even more pathetic by crying out in agony.

Like pigs being slaughtered.

However, as time passed, the pain became unbearable, and the illusions they experienced grew too overwhelming to endure. The combination of both finally broke their restraint.

"Aarrghhh!"

Both of them screamed in pain for a few seconds before their entire beings completely disappeared.

The three gods had fallen in the First Heaven.

Aldrian finally let his body loosen. Pain still lingered across his head. Even though he had been trying to heal and soothe himself with his golden energy, the pain remained.

He could not help but let out a bitter chuckle.

"It seems I really pushed myself too far this time. It feels like my body is being torn apart. Even after using my golden energy to soothe it, the pain still remains," he murmured.

The battle just now was the most intense he had experienced in this life, even more than when he faced Tarius’ avatar. In comparison, dealing with Tarius’ avatar had been easier due to its massive size. Its eye remained fixed in place, making it far easier to target.

This time was completely different.

He faced countless devils, each a powerful being of the First Heaven or higher, as thousands of immortals had already descended, all of them capable of movement and countering his techniques.

On top of that, there were three gods.

He had been forced to maintain the full power of his domain the entire time. Combined with his continuous use of large-scale techniques and handling multiple tasks at once, it placed an extreme burden on both his body and soul.

He knew his body was still lacking, unable to sustain the full power of his domain for long periods.

Still, it was necessary, not only to destroy the devils surrounding him, but also to impose overwhelming pressure upon them.

He wanted to crush their spirits.

Although countless devils were still sacrificing themselves, many others began to hesitate, just like at this moment.

In the distance, a million kilometers away, he could see many devils watching him with wary eyes. Quite a number of them even looked at him with fear. He then glanced slightly to the side, where Arsien Star had already been destroyed, its remnants drifting toward the quasar he had created.

He had formed the black holes at the place where he killed the Vampire King, letting them merge into one before teleporting the final result there. Such a method naturally shocked the devils, as none of them had expected a black hole to suddenly pop up.

Now, the black hole had already evolved into a giant quasar as it continuously devoured everything around it. Many of those consumed were high level cultivators in the Immortal Transition Realm, becoming perfect nutrition for its rapid growth.

If he left that quasar there, then the center of heaven would have a quasar accompanying it until the end of time.

His gaze then shifted toward the many interstellar vessels approaching from afar. He assumed they were reinforcements from nearby worlds. This did not surprise him, as the devils still possessed abundant resources and support.

After all, he was right at the center of their headquarters. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Those vessels likely came from the territories of the other three overlords. The eastern, northern, and western forces still had many troops they could send here.

Combined with the countless devils still watching him from a distance, he would soon be surrounded once again and forced to fight just like before.

However, this time would be different.

The battle would be much easier. There were no longer three overlords, nor three gods.

He decided to use life laws to support his golden energy and rejuvenate his condition. The pain he felt gradually subsided, and he finally released a sigh of relief.

After recovering slightly, he decided to give these devils another surprise.

In the distance, the devils were still watching him with wary and fearful expressions.

One of the devils glanced toward the side where one of the commanders stood.

"Commander, what should we do? That man killed the three overlords and even those so-called gods. How are we supposed to defeat him?" he asked.

The commander, an old man with long red hair and low pseudo immortal stage cultivation, opened his mouth.

"Wait for reinforcements. We will overwhelm him with numbers. I refuse to believe he is not exhausted after fighting for so long and using so many large scale techniques."

"We must take revenge for our lords and ensure our survival. If no one stops that man, it is only a matter of time before all of us die, and the era of the devils comes to an end. We cannot fail our god," he added.

The other devil nodded and looked back at Aldrian. After a few moments, his eyes narrowed.

"Why is he just standing there? Has he really become too exhausted to even move?" he asked.

The commander did not respond and continued to watch Aldrian with a wary gaze.

"Look! There is something wrong with the black hole!" a devil suddenly shouted from behind, causing him to turn toward the quasar.

He saw that the quasar had begun to lose its shape, becoming unstable and chaotic. Its energy started to burst outward, like gas escaping from a balloon.

He narrowed his eyes, trying to understand what was happening.

Before he could figure out what was wrong with the quasar—

BOOOOOMMMMM!
