Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire sky trembled under an overwhelming pressure, tearing apart the realm of evil to reveal dark, thick clouds.
In that moment, the sky roared, locking away this evil that heaven and earth could not tolerate with a wrathful force.
Bai Yi clenched his fist, sensing he might trigger the demon's soul blood this time. He had never used this resurrection armor before. The strange black lines on his body twisted and writhed, trembling as if reacting to the anger of the sky, eager to rebel against it.
His bare body radiated an increasingly sinister aura, with scarlet eyes devoid of whites and long black hair cascading to his waist, twisting unnaturally, giving off a wild and bloodthirsty vibe.
If one looked closely at his hair, they would see tiny, hair-like tendrils, imbued with an indescribable quality. Just a glance could lead one to fall into their grasp, polluting their spirit.
He stepped forward.
Buzz~
The space around him shimmered, and he appeared at the top of the valley.
His scarlet eyes calmly regarded the three solemn visitors.
"Leave now. You can't help me here."
His calm voice brought relief to Hedinger and Eric. Roman looked at Bai Yi with surprise; in this state, the white plague exuded a strength so formidable that it had truly reached the legendary level.
The sharpness in his eyes softened as he gazed at the sky, shedding the indifference he had shown earlier.
"There are three thunders, and the second is the strongest."
After speaking, he took a step back, leading the two older men to a hillside miles away, quietly observing the gathering dark clouds.
A trace of thought crossed Bai Yi's mind. The world was both cruel and benevolent. Was there a glimmer of life in everything?
Just as the devil's game must leave a path for survival, even if that path was exceedingly narrow.
Bai Yi raised his hand, quickly stabilizing the vast area covering hundreds of kilometers, ultimately reducing it to a one-kilometer diameter centered around himself.
"Ho~"
"Oh~"
"Shh~"
The chaotic roars erupted as hundreds of deformed monsters continued to howl within the evil domain spanning a thousand miles.
There were male lions with tentacle manes, pythons with countless heads, and crazed brown bears scratching at their own flesh, their blood never ceasing to flow.
[Evil Field: Malicious Success. In this field, all attributes +10%. Enemies lose 1% to 5% of their rational value per second. When rational value drops to 80%, life value decreases by 1% per second, and all attributes are reduced by 5%. If rational value falls to 30%, the enemy's reason will collapse, and evil will erode their body, plunging them into darkness!]
Within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, any beings unable to withstand the evil had perished during the transformation, while the survivors had all become corrupted creatures.
They desperately attempted to escape the evil realm, but their eyes were locked onto a pair of piercing gazes. All they could do was roar, trying to intimidate those eyes with their ferocity.
In the sky, blue light continuously accumulated within the clouds.
The aura surrounding Bai Yi was also rising rapidly, while his long hair twisted and danced, exuding an indescribable will.
Poof~
A fine tendril pierced the head of a silver demon lion. The tentacles on its neck stiffened instantly, and the creature slowly collapsed, its body rapidly desiccating.
Boom!
The aura of terror flowed from Bai Yi's body. His scarlet eyes remained fixed on the sky, where thunder accumulated, just as he did.
Extremely malicious!
[You killed the silver upper extreme demon lion. Your extreme evil spirit is refreshed: God · Strength +1, God · Agility +1, God · Endurance +1, lasting for ten seconds.]
[You killed the silver upper extreme demon lion. Due to the significant level gap, you receive 100 experience points.]
Poof~
The second and third demon lions fell, their blood spilling across the ground, while the extreme evil spirit continued to refresh. The aura surrounding Bai Yi became increasingly formidable.
The hair that absorbed the evil creatures thickened, dripping blood that released a rancid, decayed scent.
[You have extracted the malice, blood, and souls of numerous evil creatures. Your dark side has grown: God · Strength +1, God · Agility +1, God · Endurance +1.]
The blue light in the sky gradually transformed into gold, casting a divine glow upon the doomsday scene.
This was the judgment of the world, cleansing the malevolent beings within its grasp.
If ancient gods were to witness this, they would feel a sense of nostalgia, recalling a time before the arrival of the new god, when every ancient god faced their own reckoning.
Rumble.
The thunder roared, and the clouds descended closer.
A tremendous force locked onto Bai Yi.
Click~ Boom!
The immense pressure caused the ground beneath him to collapse, forcing the mountain peak to give way before the thunder struck.
Bai Yi's expression turned serious. Roman had mentioned that there were three types of thunder, with the second being the most powerful. There was no reason for Roman to mislead him.
Buzz~
The protective shield surrounding Bai Yi began to dissipate. He braced himself, preparing to resist the impending thunder, concentrating all his defenses against the second strike.
The time for the extreme evil spirit had arrived, and the flying hair eliminated the last evil creature.
Boom!
A more powerful aura erupted from Bai Yi. In that instant, a golden pillar of thunder, with a diameter of 300 meters, descended from the sky.
The overwhelming sense of crisis made the dark marks on Bai Yi twist in agitation. This was the manifestation of evil and malice, yet it inspired fear.
Thunder suppressed all evil.
The earth beneath Bai Yi began to deteriorate. The mountain could not withstand the pressure and collapsed, burying the underground base.
Bai Yi's gaze remained fixed ahead. His dark side had reached the legendary level, but this thunder was more powerful than the judgment of the legendary third-level ghost judgment of the city-guard mecha.
The evil divine power within him surged, forming a pure energy shield above him.
Boom! Click~
The thunder pillar descended rapidly. Upon contact with the realm of extreme evil, the entire domain shattered, and the eyeballs were annihilated into nothingness, failing to hinder the thunder's descent.
Boom!
A second thunderclap resounded, obliterating the divine power of Bai Yi. In an instant, he was reduced to nothingness. The thunder offered no time for contemplation; it struck with ferocity.
Rumble.
The stones in the mountain crumbled under the overwhelming energy, and the flora and fauna were obliterated by the blow.
The verdant forest of spring was being erased.
"This…"
Eric's eyes widened with concern; he realized he could no longer withstand this kind of power. Even if Hedinger was fully prepared, he might struggle to block an attack of this magnitude.
"Don't worry; you must believe he is a god," Hedinger reassured, though he gripped his staff tightly. The first-tier legends could not halt this force; their only course was to trust that Bai Yi could withstand the world's judgment.
"The magic power is recovering." Roman's indifferent voice pierced through the tension. He clasped his hands behind his back, familiar with the nature of this thunder. It was a necessary condition for the birth of evil.
Only when cursed by heaven could evil be 'legally' born in Shia.
Clever evasion would result in lightning striking down every time evil appeared. Ancient gods held sway over this matter, as they were the original architects of evil.
At the end of the ancient god era, the sky was constantly thunderous.
[You were struck by heaven's punishment. Health value: 90%... 80%... 85%... 70%... 60%... 80%...]
[You drink the sigh of life. Life value: 100%... 85%... 85%... 60%... 70%... 50%...]
[Your evil fanaticism is triggered: God · Strength +5, God · Agility +5, God · Endurance +5, God · Intelligence +5, Charm value -5.]
Boom!
Bai Yi's aura surged, his strength, agility, and endurance breaking through 90.
Malicious Intimidation Activated.
[Your charm value is now -35.]
The extreme evil fanaticism and malicious intimidation had awakened a new specialty: [Tianyi]. Bai Yi roared, surrounded by countless twisted wills. The intense pain faded, and the injuries on his body began to heal rapidly.
Even as his skin cracked under the thunder's might, his blood and flesh regenerated at a visible pace, forming perfect skin anew.
[Tianyi: The lower your charm value, the stronger your body's recovery.]
[Life value: 100%... 90%... 100%... 80%... 95%... 100%...]
Bai Yi faced the thunder with an emotionless expression. Compared to the agony of transformation, this pain felt trivial.
The energy around him was diminishing, and his life value stabilized around 80%. His current expertise, influenced by the finger bones of the Goddess of Life, was nearing recovery.
At this moment, he had accumulated at least 1200% recovery.
In simpler terms, under normal conditions, he would regain 10% of his life value per second.
After triggering evil fanaticism and activating malicious intimidation, his recovery rate surged to between 10% and 20% per second.
This was the natural recovery of Bai Yi. With the effect of a bloodthirsty blade from his exclusive weapon during battle, he would be nearly invincible.
The surrounding golden light began to fade.
He easily withstood the first thunder. Scanning his surroundings, he noted the forest had vanished, replaced by a massive pit hundreds of meters deep. His original base had also been obliterated by the thunder.
Before he could prepare himself, an intense sense of impending doom struck.
Bai Yi looked up to see a golden thunderbolt, only one meter in diameter, but it emanated a genuine sense of mortal peril.
[Extremely Malicious Ambition Effect is Invalid.]
The aura surrounding Bai Yi began to wane, and the danger became tangible.
Though this thunder appeared small, it exuded an acute sense of threat, three times stronger than the previous strike!
Mental Protection!
The golden thunder fell suddenly, crashing against Bai Yi's body.
Boom!
A blue transparent shield materialized around Bai Yi, absorbing the full brunt of the thunder's force.
[Your shield value: 100%... 80%... 60%... 40%...]
Bai Yi raised his hand, gathering his soul!
At this moment, his holy spirit stood at 133 points, equating to 1330 points of spiritual attributes.
A solid shadow emerged behind him, rising in tandem with Bai Yi, unleashing a soul bullet from the shadow.
Boom!
A surge of spiritual power surged skyward, colliding with the pillar of light.
Buzz~
A deafening hum resounded as the punishment momentarily faltered.
[Spiritual Shield: 30%... 20%...]
Mental Recovery! Accumulate the Soul!
Boom!
The second soul bullet struck the upper section of the thunder.
[Spiritual Shield: 10%... 0%...]
[Life value: 100%... 60%... 80%... 70%...]
Accumulate the Soul!
[Life value: 80%... 40%... 50%... 30%...]
Boom!
The third, fourth, and fifth soul bullets followed.
Five consecutive shots countered the relentless damage from five thunder strikes, enabling Bai Yi to resist the divine punishment.
As the brilliance of the thunder began to fade, Bai Yi felt his body ravaged by the strikes. The intensity of the second thunder was overwhelming, reminiscent of facing the swordsman.
A torrent of blood and tissue surged within him, rapidly filling the gaps left by injuries.
He quickly consumed a bottle of the life potion, feeling revitalized instantly.
Without hesitation, the third thunder crashed down, but it posed no real threat.
The demon soul blood remained dormant.
Feeling the strength coursing through him, Bai Yi sensed that a fate-level target was slipping away.
When he first completed the transformation, he had felt the world's incompleteness; now, he felt indifferent and repulsed, as if he were a reluctant guest in this realm.
Bai Yi waited patiently. As the third thunder dissipated, the first evil born during the Shia New God period fully manifested.
[You have resisted heaven's punishment. Thunder Resistance +50.]
As he glanced at the notification on his panel, Bai Yi retrieved a set of clothes from the demon dimension, donning the windbreaker of the epidemic doctor's suit.
With a sigh of relief, the fluctuations of malicious intimidation and the essence of evil faded, causing his charm value to rise rapidly to -24.
He turned to the three figures who had retreated ten thousand meters away.
"Mr. Roman," Bai Yi said, bowing slightly as he stepped forward, suddenly appearing before them.
His scarlet eyes gradually shifted to a more neutral black and white in their presence. Simultaneously, his aura transformed from one of intolerable evil to that of a scholar.
Roman's eyes reflected surprise and satisfaction, though his tone remained slightly cold. "The power of God's evil is formidable. Be vigilant in controlling it. If it spirals out of control, I will intervene personally."
"I understand," Bai Yi replied, unfazed by the stern words, allowing a smile to form. "Mr. Roman, I have a question for you."
"Speak," Roman said, still maintaining his icy demeanor, though with a hint of patience.
"The area where Lord Jiansheng resides is rich in natural elements. I've heard this is your doing, so I wanted to inquire about the method of gathering these elements. I believe natural elements should not be constrained."
Bai Yi sought to address the challenges posed by the demon dimension.
While it did harness magic, the concentration was alarmingly low.
He had opened a plant area within the dimension, restricting magic to that space. However, it barely met the threshold for cultivation, and even the magical concentration of Shia was insufficient.
If he aimed to cultivate more advanced materials, it was evident that the current magical concentration wouldn't suffice.
Roman replied calmly, "You should inquire with the Renchu family regarding this matter. They provided the method; I can only assist with its execution, not the underlying principles."
Bai Yi paused, then bowed again. "Thank you, Mr. Roman. I won't take up more of your time."
He nodded to Eric and Hedinger, offering a respectful bow before departing.
Both older men exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting gratitude and emotion. This was a positive outcome.
