Inside the Phoenix Cry Sect, the sect leader, who had been in deep meditation, suddenly opened his eyes and jumped to his feet. In an instant, he soared into the sky, followed by hundreds of other figures trailing behind him. As they emerged from the planet and looked westward, the sect leader and the other cultivators witnessed something that defied belief, even with their heightened senses.
The planet that had been hidden by a formation was now visible... or almost. It was entirely engulfed by black clouds, with lightning streaking through them like furious storm dragons. Moreover, a wave of intense fury reverberated through all the heavenly laws.
"An... annihilation..." someone muttered in disbelief.
The sect leader and everyone present felt that approaching the scene meant certain doom. Not because they would be marked, but because this was no ordinary annihilation. Its magnitude was so overwhelming that it could easily wipe out any of them, even without marking them.
Within the planet, all fire laws and forms of life froze in sheer terror. The entire place was swallowed by darkness, suffocated by the destructive will that blanketed the skies.
Alm and Bruno held the pill that Almin had created; they had removed it from the seal. Instantly, the tribulation resumed, and the heavens targeted them for destruction.
The heavenly laws recognized them immediately. There was no need to use Gaia’s curse; after altering the karma of so many people, being targeted meant immediate annihilation.
As the heavens gathered their power, the Chaos Dragon watched with mild surprise, sensing the annihilating force.
"Interesting, you really don’t know how to hold back. I’ve seen missionaries hated by the laws, but never to this extent," the dragon said calmly. "The heavens in this state have no mercy, no eyes to see. If I were marked in my weakened state, I’d hardly survive. Is this it? You think you can escape like this?"
Alm and Bruno smiled slightly, still holding the pill. The tribulation hadn’t even fully unleashed its might, but they already felt death’s presence looming over them. Their eyes glimmered, and the Wuji technique was activated at full power.
**BOOM!!!**
The first wave, representing less than 1% of the total power, descended like a sea of lightning, bringing the apocalypse. All the bolts concentrated on a single target. Their bodies fractured, burning everything so completely that not even blood escaped.
They pushed the Wuji technique to its limits, redirecting as much power as possible to the inventory and the pill they held. Alm and Bruno barely managed to prevent their bodies from exploding instantly.
After the first wave, their half-dead bodies took a deep breath. They already knew they wouldn’t survive a second strike, but their eyes were calm, serene.
They turned to the dragon, who observed them silently. "You talked about escaping? Why do you think I want to run?"
A sinister gleam flashed in their eyes, and the Chaos Dragon felt something surreal that made his eyes widen. It was a suffocating feeling, as if all his instincts were screaming. It was the presence of death looming over him.
"I’m a busy person. If I’ve come to see you personally, I’m here to settle everything between us. Unfortunately, I’m not good at diplomacy; I prefer to destroy everything at once."
The skies began to condense, preparing for another wave. At that moment, Alm and Bruno pulled another pill from their inventory and swallowed it immediately.
Their eyes turned red. It was the Pill of Explosive Furious Flames, something designed to be suicidal but that drastically increased the user’s power at the cost of their life.
At that instant, all of Raoni’s body meridians trembled and expanded. Alm and Bruno didn’t hesitate, and from within the inventory, the power of millions of internal fire runes was converted into Qi.
Their entire existence seemed ready to explode, but the pill was high-level, and its medicinal power could keep them alive for a single breath. That was all they needed.
The Chaos Dragon watched with curiosity. He couldn’t unleash his power, keeping all energies static in his body. Even if the annihilation destroyed Alm and Bruno’s bodies and souls, the heavenly laws were meant for mortals. They couldn’t completely erase a divine soul. He would survive with a fragment of his soul and eventually capture that missionary.
But the primordial dragon felt an inexplicable bitterness growing inside him. Nothing that mortal-cultivated missionaries could do should affect him. So why did he feel this way?
Then Alm and Bruno snorted and looked up at the sky.
The world fell silent, and the annihilation suddenly froze. All the lightning bolts that were about to strike stopped in midair. It was as if a force superior to the heavenly laws had pushed them aside.
It wasn’t just the laws in shock; the Chaos Dragon felt an invincible, suppressive power surrounding and trapping him.
With a sigh, all of their Qi, Yin, Yang, soul power, mind, and vitality merged. "It’s been a while since I’ve used this," said the figure in a dry voice. "But I can definitely use it more efficiently now."

Alm and Bruno nodded. All of their strength and lives reverberated together. This was the technique they had created exclusively to kill the queen when they first encountered her. (Chapter 206)
Initially, they had used the Soul Eater Clan’s technique as the foundation to develop it. But when they used it a second time against evil cultivators, Ruri had been by their side, giving them everything she had, nearly dying in the process.
It was at that moment they realized something was off. This technique didn’t just use specific powers. It was a pure manifestation of their killing intent, harnessing the divine soul and everything they had to turn into lethal power.
It was simple and straightforward: a trade of their lives for the enemy’s life. The technique transcended heavenly laws, something that could be considered a Dao of its own.
However, unlike the Daos that could be accepted by the laws—transforming the user into a deity—this power could destroy even deities above the laws themselves. Its potential could eventually tear apart the laws; that’s why it would never be accepted as a Dao.
They reflected on this, feeling that energy flowing intensely through their veins. ’That second time, Ruri shared the burden with us; but thankfully, we were still very weak, and the consequences weren’t that severe. The third time, in the Realm of the Heavens, the three energies of life were infinite at our disposal.’
With Wuji activated, Alm and Bruno sensed that this technique had the potential to be enhanced using Taiji. Instinctively, they felt that the Law of Origin seemed to fit with that energy... or maybe...
They took a deep breath, realizing something was missing within themselves. ’The Law of Origin of my soul was consumed. In fact, this technique has always used that law as its foundation... perfect. We had already created a method to use this law before even knowing of its existence.’
In that same instant, they nodded, and everything the divine soul and that body could offer was burned away. Two seconds passed, and then they turned to the Chaos Dragon, who was completely catatonic.
**"Eclipsing Divinity!"**
Their fists moved, and all time, space, and laws shattered. All the light in the world condensed into that strike, seeming capable not just of killing gods, but of splitting the heavens apart. There was no sound or physical destruction, just an oppressive feeling, as if that blow were the end of the world.
The Chaos Yang Dragon felt its existence like the fragile flame of a candle, insignificant, about to be snuffed out by an unyielding breath. He tried to defend himself in those last moments... but all his previously static power was suppressed.
In space, far from the planet, everyone watching felt the light and sound of the world vanish for a few seconds, leaving them wrapped in total emptiness. It wasn’t just them—every cultivator in the galaxy sensed something shift in the heavenly laws. A killing intent washed over them, making them break out in a cold sweat from sheer terror.
But after the storm came the calm. All forms of life felt a release, as if something had been unbound within their bodies.
The tribulation surrounding the planet, which had been raging in fury, seemed to loosen its chains. Instead of continuing its assault, the celestial annihilation began to retreat and eventually disappeared. After all, its target no longer existed.
