Chapter 228 The Curtain Falls [Fourth update as a bonus for yesterday, please vote with monthly tickets]

The black giant writhed wildly, trying to break free from the pulling force of the distorted space.

But how immense is the gravitational pull of a black hole? Even this incomplete version of a black hole is.

The enormous figure was stretched and twisted, mercilessly sucked into the endless void. Its body was contorted and deformed under the powerful gravity, as if struggling silently.

Soon, the giant that John had transformed into completely disappeared into the distorted space.

then……

"boom--"

The black hole exploded violently, releasing dazzling light and enormous energy, enough to devour everything around it!
The entire world trembled instantly because of the explosion. In the first instant, all the mountains and buildings within a thousand feet were blasted into dust with a loud bang.

Even the space itself is riddled with cracks of all sizes.

Fang Ge and Yin Ruozhuo, relying on the Qionghua Twin Swords and the Shushan Grand Formation, began to do their best to offset and deflect the massive energy torrent caused by the original dark explosion.

“Sukabril…”

Makarov, who was the first to be hit, only had time to utter such a sentiment before he was annihilated by the oncoming scorching energy.

Facing Zheng Zha, he saw no hope of victory whatsoever. He had only come here to gamble on whether John could win and regain consciousness.

Now it all means nothing. The Celestials' current predicament... can perhaps only be blamed on Adam's desertion at the last minute.

Another being directly impacted was the evil dragon that the demon Zheng Zha had transformed into.

The dragon-like body was undeniably powerful, but it was as fragile as paper before the onslaught of the energy torrent.

"I wipe..."

Faced with this scene, the demon Zheng Zha actually withdrew from his inner demon state.

What do you mean? Your inner demons have all chickened out, right?

The inner demon, of course, has no concept of cowardice; it's just that its body and energy are being greatly weakened by the impact.

The cellular frenzy was suppressed, and Zheng Zha, the demon who had been trying to reclaim his sovereignty, regained control of his brain.

The problem now is... how to survive.

—Cut off his head.

Both the large and small apples received instructions from Fang Ge at the same time.

This is also Fang Ge's traditional skill—sacrificing a pawn to save the king.

As a fourth-order individual, as long as they want to live, even if only a tiny bit of brain tissue remains, they can recover completely if they have sufficient energy.

The size of a head represents the upper limit of the stable inner world passage that Fang Ge can maintain amidst the current spatial turbulence.

The assassin girl is very professional when it comes to beheading.

The demon Zheng Zha is now in a state of exhaustion and is therefore unable to resist the light of their hearts.

Zhao Yingkong used the "Great Calamity of Jinri" to inflict the consequence that the head of the evil dragon would be severed.

Riyo Sora uses the light of her heart to "sever" the cause of her severed head.

"Shh!"

His neck was cleanly cut open, without even a trace of blood.

The demon Zheng Zha felt a sense of weightlessness in his head, and then he fell freely and crashed into an open space.

Then, everything before my eyes underwent subtle changes.

"Chu Xuan..." The first thing the dragon saw in its pupils was the bespectacled man's cold expression.

However, he felt that the corners of the other person's mouth seemed to be slightly upturned.

Is it an illusion?

“One-third of the skull remains, but the brain and hearing system are intact… Open your mouth.” Chu Xuan crouched down and said calmly. “Ah…” The demon Zheng Zha struggled to comply.

Then, several peaches were tossed into his mouth.

It's a very strange situation. His digestive organs are on his body, and the idea of ​​him eating with just a head... is really counterintuitive.

But this is what "extraordinary" means; the lesser peaches melted in his mouth, and he refined and absorbed a large amount of life energy...

A wave of fatigue washed over him, and the demon Zheng Zha fell into a deep sleep.

"Very good." Chu Xuan seemed unsurprised by this. He grabbed the dragon's horn and put on a good show.

The bespectacled man, carrying the head of the demon Zheng Zha, walked towards his experimental section.

……

Thankfully, we didn't unearth [Li Shushan]. Otherwise, who knows how many troubles might have arisen.

Fang Ge stood high in the sky, looking at the bottomless pit, speechless.

A mountain range was transformed into a desert, with sand and stones flying everywhere and smoke filling the sky and earth.

The lush green peaks around them were transformed into an empty plain in the blink of an eye, without even a slightly larger rock remaining!

— Baiyue is nowhere to be seen; he must have taken the opportunity to slip away.

Fang Ge could easily tell that Yin Ruozhuo was in a state of extreme emotional collapse; the Sword Saint's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.

If the two of them hadn't directed over 90% of their power towards the empty sky, the Shu Mountain would probably have cracked during this attack!
This is Mount Shu, the foremost of all blessed lands! Any ordinary mountain range, or even a small country, would be reduced to ashes by this attack.

When did so many talented people emerge in this world?
Yin Ruozhuo believed that even if he used all his strength, this attack could only achieve 80-90% of its power.

Could this be the karmic retribution brought about by the shift in destiny? Was it all because he harbored selfish motives and imprisoned Zhao Ling'er in the Demon-Locking Tower?
Fang Ge didn't know what Yin Ruozhuo was thinking, but that didn't stop him from having to consider the matter of compensation.

He cupped his hands and said, "If the mountains and vegetation of Mount Shu are damaged, I can provide spiritual herbs and plants. I will also convert the vital energy required for the construction into a full amount of rare and precious materials."

"As for manpower and implementation... this is ultimately your sect's private matter, and as an outsider, it is inappropriate for me to interfere."

As Fang Ge spoke, he waved his hand and took out thirty-five secondary peaches, which floated to the Shu Mountain disciples and elders who were participating in setting up the formation, so that everyone got a share.

"This is..." This is quite a generous gesture; one is bound to be obligated to those who offer help.

Whether you recognize it or not, it doesn't change the fact that it's a top-tier spiritual fruit.

Seeing their hesitation, Fang Ge said loudly, "I apologize for disturbing you all so late at night. This is not part of the compensation."

Fang Ge felt that their gazes softened considerably because of Ping Yi's approachable manner.

"...This matter is settled. Esteemed guests of Qionghua, since you have come to visit Mount Shu, please go to your guest rooms to rest."

Yin Ruozhuo gave Fang Ge a deep look and decided to handle the matter amicably.

If the Qionghua Twin Swords were to engage in combat, the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect, even with its full strength, might not be unable to win, but it certainly wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

They are both on the righteous path, only their cultivation methods are strange and unusual... but it hasn't come to the point where they have to fight.

After all, the [Path of Slaughter] and the [Asura Clan], or that unknown strange evil dragon, are not evil people in terms of the karma they have been involved with.

However, as a native, the Sword Saint still couldn't understand the special nature of the Reincarnators who were untouched by cause and effect.

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

Fang Ge was happy to agree, and he continued, "As for Senior Jiang Ming and Li Xiaoyao... I also have a way to save them."

"...We'll discuss it tomorrow."

—Very good… The Celestial Team is now down to just Adam and Baiyue, each playing the other’s fool. It’s time to create the Shushan and Demon Team.

Thinking about the various expressions that the demon Zheng Zha would make... Fang Ge couldn't help but laugh out loud.
