Chapter 695: Filthy Rich

He looked at Li Er with a contemptuous gaze.

"I advise you as well, lackey of the Heavenly Dao."

"Continuing to help the evildoer on this dead end, continuing to risk your life for this collapsing Heavenly Dao…"

"In the end, you won't have a good end! When that true dawn arrives, it will be the moment when all of you are reduced to ashes!"

As the voice fell, the Human Sovereign fell completely silent.

He completed an extremely heroic curtain call, leaning quietly against the throne, waiting for the ultimate end.

Zhou Huai's consciousness watched this scene coldly in the main hall.

The opponent had long reached a consensus with that Mr. Duan.

These Ancient Awakened Ones were simply a group of fanatic believers who would stop at nothing to break the old world!

Different paths do not work together.

Since the enemy had already spoken to this extent, Zhou Huai no longer had any nonsense.

"Then take your hope and go to Hell."

Zhou Huai's face was as gloomy as water, and he unhesitatingly urged the mighty power of Karma within his body.

Li Er's withered fingers gently lifted, pointing directly at the dark golden skeleton on the throne.

His lips opened slightly, spitting out two words without a trace of emotion:

"Soul Destruction."

Word of Law, the supreme Law that transcended everything in the world, showed its most tyrannical and domineering side!

The light and shadow dimmed, without a sound.

Only the irresistible power of rules descended upon the Human Sovereign!

"Crack… Crack…"

Under the crushing force of the spirit words, that dark golden skeleton, which had weathered tens of millions of years of erosion and just stubbornly resisted countless Heavenly Dao thunders without completely shattering, began to emit a series of dense, crisp sounds.

Immediately after, under Zhou Huai's gaze.

This former king of the old era who once swallowed mountains and rivers, together with the bone throne symbolizing supreme power beneath him, experienced tens of millions of times accelerated weathering!

From the inside out, it completely fell apart!

Disintegrating inch by inch!

Ultimately, in mid-air, it turned into an incomparably delicate gray powder, swept into the void by a gloomy wind blowing from nowhere in the main hall.

Between heaven and earth, there was no longer any trace of this Human Sovereign.

[Ding! Warning! Forcibly obliterating a transcendent target, Word of Law suffers Law backlash!]

In his mind, the System's warning sound rang out sharply.

Immediately after, Zhou Huai clearly saw that the Karma value on the panel that had just broken ten million was evaporated by a large chunk!

A full three million Karma points were deducted!

However, before he even had time to feel heartache.

[Ding! Congratulations Host! Successfully killed the leader of the Ancient Remnant Clan, quelling the ruin's turmoil!]

[Ding! Karma reward is settling…]

[Congratulations Host, obtained Karma: 80,000,000 points!]

"Eighty… eighty million?!"

Zhou Huai's consciousness shook, almost unable to believe his eyes.

That string of zeros on the panel was like the most beautiful notes in the world dancing.

In comparison, the three million Karma points deducted by the backlash just now was just a drop in the bucket!

But that wasn't all; the prompt that excited Zhou Huai the most followed closely behind.

[Ding! World-class challenge quest: Chaos of the Eight Directions (1/8) has been completed!]

[Congratulations Host for obtaining quest reward: Guaranteed SSS-rank Class Orb X1!]

Awesome!

At this point, the series of terrifying chaos inside the Abyss of Mist, from the undead resurrection to the Heaven-Defying actions of the Human Sovereign, was completely brought to a period.

Crisis resolved, rewards in hand!

Zhou Huai manipulated Li Er, quietly gazing for a long time at the empty spot deep in the main hall where the Human Sovereign had previously sat.

In the dim main hall, only two Clones, one old and one strong, stood silently.

"In order to prevent others from breaking conventions, for one's own survival, frantically plundering resources without any bottom line, casually obliterating those villainous roles who resist desperately…"

Zhou Huai joked to himself in his heart.

"If placed in those traditional novel stories, my demeanor seems no matter how you look at it more like a ruthless major villain."

He chuckled, shook his head, and threw these absurd thoughts to the back of his mind.

What about being a villain? As long as he could survive, as long as he could protect everything he cared about, even if he became Enemy of the World, he wouldn't care.

"It's time to go back."

Zhou Huai's thoughts withdrew, and Li Er took a step forward.

"Shrinking the Earth to an Inch!"

The surrounding space rippled like water waves, and the next second, the figures of Li Er and Xiang Yu directly disappeared into this Eternal Hall that buried the old era.

When they appeared again, they had returned outside the ruins, onto the scorched earth baptized by war and thunder.

At this moment outside, the sunlight once again pierced through the haze.

Zhou Huai checked his current attribute panel.

On this trip to the Abyss of Mist, Li Er could truly be said to have made an earth-shaking windfall!

The amount earned by clearing the skeleton army along the way, plus the ten million rewarded by the Heavenly Dao, plus the eighty million huge sum dropped by killing the Human Sovereign at the end…

Now, the Karma values he carried on him had completely broken the one hundred million mark!

"The feeling of being filthy rich is really great."

Zhou Huai praised with satisfaction, and then his gaze cast toward Donghai City, dozens of kilometers away, which had fallen into paralysis and chaos due to bearing the terrifying pressure.

Previously, Molli had organized an emergency evacuation, but the ripple of that Heavenly Might still caused heavy damage to the entire city. Countless commoners fainted on the streets due to being unable to bear the high-dimensional fear, and large swathes of buildings collapsed in the aftershocks.

"Since I've earned the Old Man's money, I have to do some human things."

Zhou Huai smiled slightly, his consciousness driving Li Er to execute Shrinking the Earth to an Inch.

Swish!

In a flash, Li Er's immortal-looking elderly figure steadily landed on the damaged city wall of Donghai City.

The howling wind blew his gray beard and hair, and his loose Dao robe fluttered loudly.

He overlooked the miserable and chaotic city below.

"Word of Law."

Li Er held his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with compassionate light.

That voice carrying endless power of Law, like spring breeze transforming rain, gently echoed across the entire sky of Donghai City:

"Restore."

Hum——!

A single word spoken, and heaven and earth are startled!

Accompanied by the consumption of millions of Karma points, a soft yet irresistible magical great power shrouded the entire Donghai City!

Miracles were staged before the eyes of tens of millions of people.

Those originally collapsed building ruins, as if time was flowing backward, had pieces of rubble and tiles automatically fly up from the ground and stitch back into place seamlessly.

The broken roads quickly mended, and the shattered glass automatically restored.

And what was most shocking were those ordinary commoners who originally fainted on the streets, with pale complexions and dying from the terrifying pressure.

Bathed in the golden light, their painful expressions relaxed, and their pale cheeks regained a rosy hue.
