Chapter 737: Main Body’s First Battle!

In front of this world-destroying power, Tokyo City, which was already riddled with scars below, welcomed a true apocalypse.

"Snap—Boom!"

Countless hundreds-of-meters-high skyscrapers were swept by the shockwave, snapping in half and collapsing as fragilely as building blocks. The earth split violently, and bottomless cracks crazily spread like spider webs across the city streets, swallowing all the buildings on the surface.

Dust blotted out the sky, accompanied by ice chips and the remnants of demonic flames; the doomsday had arrived!

The refugees gathered at the edge of the city had just been feeling the warmth of the sunlight and giving thanks for the gods' salvation.

But now, looking at that world-destroying shockwave rolling over like a tsunami, the smiles on their faces vanished, replaced entirely by extreme panic and despair.

"Ah—! Run! Run!"

"This is a demon! This is a demon that wants to destroy us!"

"Help! I don't want to die! Wuwuwu…"

Millions of refugees cried and screamed, fleeing frantically towards the outside of the city in a panic. Shoving and trampling, countless people fell down in the chaos, stepped on by their companions, and never stood up again.

They originally thought the ones coming were gods to save them, but now it seemed this was simply high-and-mighty immortals fighting, while Mortals suffered the disaster!

However, Zhou Huai, standing atop the Dragon, didn't even glance down at those ant-like fleeing people of Sakura Country.

In this great purging era of the survival of the fittest, there was only the qualification to survive, with no room for sympathy.

At this moment, Zhou Huai's eyes were blood-red, and his Battle Intent had already climbed to the peak!

"Xiao Hei's firepower is still a bit lacking; let me do it myself!"

Zhou Huai shouted sternly, proactively leaping up from Xiao Hei's back, breaking away from the Dragon's cover, and charging alone towards the center of the explosive energy!

"Sizzle—!"

In mid-air, dazzling golden thunder erupted around his entire body! The violent Law belonging to the Thunder Swordsman Yasuo was driven by him to the extreme without any reservation. The thunder coiled around his limbs and bones like spirit snakes, setting him off like a thunder god descending to the Mortal world.

Immediately after, with a swish!

Behind him, six brilliant, flowing golden wings suddenly spread open! Gabriel's divine power of purification formed an indestructible barrier on the surface of his body.

At the same time, beneath his feet, a shadowy phantom of the Shadow King standing dozens of zhang tall and exuding an endless gloomy Aura rose from the ground, firmly holding him up in mid-air!

Thunder, Holy Light, Shadow!

Three completely different and even mutually repellent extreme Laws, under the Heaven-Defying harmonization of Ten Thousand Aspects into One, were perfectly fused onto Zhou Huai alone.

At this moment, his Aura was so magnificent that he was like a humanoid missile loaded with a nuclear warhead!

"Break for me!"

Zhou Huai roared, carrying the terrifying power of cutting through bamboo, and fiercely smashed through the remaining wind, snow, and energy barrier, straight into the main hall of the ancient Ise Grand Shrine!

"Boom—!"

The shrine's dome, symbolizing the authority of the old era, was shattered, and rubble and ice and snow flew across the sky. The impact directly smashed a bottomless meteorite crater into the floor of the shrine.

Amidst the thick smoke and dust, a mocking voice slowly drifted from the deep ruin entrance of the shrine.

"Heh… flashy and without substance, outwardly strong but inwardly weak."

The Extreme Ice Empress's voice was filled with deep disdain.

"If you really have the guts, come into the ruins! This Empress guarantees to pick the most exquisite ice coffin for you!"

Zhou Huai sneered, too lazy to talk trash with this old antique who had just awakened and hadn't figured out the situation yet. His figure flickered slightly, thunder and Holy Light intertwining on his body, and he directly transformed into a dazzling stream of light, charging without hesitation into the abyss-like deep ruin entrance of the shrine.

"Roar—!"

In mid-air, the Magic Dragon Xiao Hei let out a heaven-shaking roar, its huge pitch-black dragon wings folding, carrying the green-clad figure—Tsubaki, closely following its master, and plunged headfirst into the dark ruins that could swallow everything.

Passing through space, the scene before their eyes changed.

Inside the ruins, everything in sight was a vast expanse of white. Goose-feather-like heavy snow filling the sky, mixed with bone-chilling fierce winds capable of easily tearing apart the Physical Body of an S-Class Professional, raged and roared in this independent high-dimensional space.

Zhou Huai hovered in mid-air, narrowing his eyes.

He still remembered that a while ago, when he first forcefully barged into this ruins, there was still a towering sacred snow mountain that pierced the clouds and exuded an ancient Aura standing here. But now, that snow mountain had long been completely razed to the ground by the violent energy during his world-shaking battle with Kujo Naruya, the SSS-Rank Expert of Sakura Country, leaving not even a scrap behind. Today's terrain in the ruins was practically flatter than something gnawed on by a dog.

The violent blizzard was a thick wall of ice, blocking all line of sight; even Zhou Huai's reinforced Mental Energy detection was greatly suppressed here.

"Hoo—"

In the wind and snow, the air grew cold, and even time was frozen for half a second.

That woman's arrogant voice drilled into Zhou Huai's eardrums from all directions simultaneously.

"Mortals of the current world, from the moment you stepped into this ruins, you have already been labeled as ignorant and foolish in my heart."

In the Extreme Ice Empress's voice, there was a high-and-mighty condescension: "I know you are very strong, and the scent on you mixed with all sorts of disgusting Laws even made me smell the Aura of that traitor Duan."

She sneered repeatedly, "But in our glorious era, guys like you who don't know how to show reverence didn't even have the qualification to carry my shoes. You can't imagine what kind of untouchable existence I used to be!"

Tsubaki, standing on the Magic Dragon's back, rolled her eyes, and while pulling a handful of melon seeds out of her pocket, muttered, "This old woman's tone is truly disgusting. How many years has she been asleep, yet she's still immersed in her dilapidated dreams of the past. Zhou Huai, don't stand on ceremony with her; tear her mouth apart."

Facing such arrogant Void Realm raving words, Zhou Huai crossed his arms in front of his chest, and instead of getting angry, he laughed.

"Is that so?" Zhou Huai smiled: "Every other word is 'your era'. Old hag, the times have changed, the Qing Dynasty has already fallen; stop pulling out your old-era foot-binding cloths to make a fool of yourself."

"Since you boast yourself as invincible under heaven and don't even put Mr. Duan in your eyes—" Zhou Huai's gaze turned cold, thunder flashed around his body, and Killing Intent rippled outward, "Then don't hide in the blizzard like a turtle with its head pulled in. Roll out and let me see how much weight your old bones really have!"

"Audacious!"

In the darkness, the woman flew into a rage, her voice bone-chillingly cold, "You courting-death thing, since you are in such a rush to seek death, this Empress will grant your wish!"
