I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2595 - 1182: Extinction
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
As the Chaos Energy Cannon unleashed its blast, Chen Mobai sensed his heart and mind erupting alongside the devastating white light, surging across the starry cosmos to crash upon Pluto.
The death river's formerly invincible force appeared instantly shattered before Chen Mobai's eyes by the destructive white light encasing him.
All Underworld Race members, Death God included, felt doom approaching as the destructive white light descended.
The Netherworld Queen especially had her purple-shielded eyes suddenly streaming bloody tears, visions of total annihilation and the end of all life flashing before her.
"This is impossible!"
In utter disbelief, she tore away the shield and gazed toward the oncoming destructive white light's origin, where life and death swirled in her pupils, the jet-black transmutation lake surging upward in a shadowy curve to intercept it.
"What is this power!"
Shock gripped the King of the Underworld just as fiercely.
As Underworld Race sovereign, he communed deeply with the death river power girdling Pluto.
To him, that death river force stood unbeatable, for no mighty experts from countless planets Pluto had clashed with ever breached its planetary defenses.
Yet today, the moment it met the pure white brilliance, the death river rippled like a pond struck by a massive rock, pierced clean through.
Encased in destructive white light, Chen Mobai tore past the stellar death river guardian and plunged unhindered into Pluto's crust.
During this descent, the Netherworld Queen's transmutation lake power rushed forward to halt the destructive white light. As Chen Mobai pondered his response, that power purified instantly near the pure white brilliance, dissolving into strands of black smoke that vanished rapidly.
So this was destruction's power!
Chen Mobai couldn't help marveling at the sight.
One must realize that both the death river and transmutation lake power, Pluto's ultimate foundations, hit sixth rank at full activation.
Even such formidable might crumbled powerlessly before the destructive white light.
A thunderous boom resounded as Chen Mobai's heart and mind plunged into Pluto's innermost depths.
He reached the star core.
Regrettably, it brimmed with the vast Great Dao of Death, refined it seemed by the Demon Lord who had planted his consciousness there through void cultivation.
True to his Purple Cloud Palace disciple roots, Chen Mobai probed no deeper, instead guiding the pure white brilliance to lance through the core and burst from Pluto's far side.
It gleamed like a spear impaling the stars amid the pitch-black cosmic void.
A deafening crack echoed alongside.
Enormous Pluto split like a shattered sphere, embarking on its terminal collapse. The surface fractured into endless fissures spewing pure white light, bristling like a porcupine with white quills. Everything material or ethereal disintegrated to ash wherever the pure white swept.
In that instant, Chen Mobai's heart and mind blended with the surging pure white brilliance, an infinite blast erupting from Pluto's myriad crustal rifts.
Surface inhabitants—be it the million-strong undead horde or elite Netherworld Generals—touched by the pure white brilliance met instant doom, their struggles futile as they vaporized to black ash and scattered into the void.
Not even a world lord like the King of the Underworld escaped unscathed; despite his lofty cultivation, a leg and half his torso evaporated in the destructive white light's subterranean flash.
The King of the Underworld longed to howl, yet the parts erased by destructive white light registered no pain, as if they'd never existed.
Terror seized his eyes.
"What is this power?"
He mouthed the words without sound; nearby, the Netherworld Queen deciphered his lip movements even as destructive white light purged the air with the disintegrating crust into cosmic vacuum.
Right then, the Netherworld Queen recalled her prior talk with Chen Mobai before his departure.
[You can’t even set foot outside Pluto.]
So that's what he meant.
Dawning on her, the Netherworld Queen regretted even more her failure to submit or plead with Chen Mobai back at Purple Cloud Palace.
Who could have foreseen that the Immortal Gate, once cornered by Pluto eons ago, wielded such horrifying might?
Why hold it back then?
Doubts flooded the Netherworld Queen; though still forming in the transmutation lake at the time, she'd listened to the King of the Underworld's accounts of that stellar war.
Aware that a vigilant Pluto, slumbering with countless Netherworld Generals and undead, could have effortlessly overwhelmed Earth Element Star through sheer power.
Crash!
Pluto finally yielded to the destructive white light, shattering entirely.
Nearly every life on the planet vanished in that moment.
Just three supreme powerhouses clung to survival.
The King, the Queen, and the First Netherworld General.
Then they comprehended their destiny alongside Pluto's conclusion.
They would perish.
The Underworld Race faced total extinction.
The planet faced obliteration.
"No!"
The King of the Underworld rejected this fate utterly; roaring, he ignited his surviving form into a raging dark death qi stream, striving to fuse with the death river and the death energies freed from millions of slain undead and kin for one last stand against the destructive white light.
