Chapter 1348: Extinction Demon Wheel

Outside the Star God Realm, the catastrophic storm unleashed by the collapse of the Star Soul Absolute Realm greatly alarmed the three God Emperors, forcing them back nearly a hundred miles. Before their astonishment faded, they all abruptly looked up…

“Chuckle ha ha… chuckle hee hee hee…”

“Wooo wooo wooo… ying ying… wooo wooo wooo wooo…”

“Heh heh heh heh… ying ying ying… meow ha ha ha…”

Laughter, cries… terrifying sounds that made them feel as if they were in a hell of wailing ghosts. The three God Emperors stared blankly at the silhouette of the Evil Infant hovering above. After a brief moment of blankness and stupefaction, a name, like a thousand bolts of world-ending thunder, exploded in their souls.

“The Evil… Infant!!??”

They cried out simultaneously, their voices filled with the most terror and trepidation they had ever known in their lives.

“No… no… impossible… impossible!” The Heaven Severing God Emperor shook his head repeatedly, looking as if his soul had left his body.

“This shadow of the Evil Infant is… exactly as described in the records…” the Moon God Emperor said. “Besides the legendary Wheel of World Annihilation, what else could possess such a terrifying aura?”

“...” The Brahma Heaven God Emperor, leader of the four God Emperors of the Eastern Region, who almost never showed any strong emotional fluctuations, also trembled all over. He mumbled blankly, “Did the Star God Realm close itself off this time precisely for… this?”

“No… impossible.” The Moon God Emperor shook her head. “This is the Wheel of World Annihilation. Even if the Star God Emperor truly found it, even if he were a thousand times more insane, he would never awaken it!”

If one were to ask a Profound Practitioner from the God Realm what the most terrifying thing in this world was,then Profound Practitioners from any star realm or plane would all give the exact same five words:The Evil Infant’s Annihilation Wheel!

Ranked second among the Seven Great Profound Sky Treasures of the ancient era, it was a terrifying demonic wheel known as the “Wheel of World Annihilation.”

Its title “Wheel of World Annihilation” was far more than just a name; it had truly annihilated worlds. What it had buried and destroyed was a world of gods and devils!

It was the most terrifying existence across the heavens and earth, and throughout the entire history of chaos, having slaughtered all true gods and true devils, thus ending the age of gods and devils.

And only a little over a million years had passed since its last world annihilation!

In a world devoid of gods, the Evil Infant’s Annihilation Wheel had vanished without a trace. Every word in the records left for later generations about it reeked of terror.

The Evil Infant’s Annihilation Wheel cannot disappear or be destroyed. After destroying all gods and devils, it still exists somewhere in the world. People wish to find it, yet they also dread finding it.

Undoubtedly, possessing any other Profound Sky Treasure would be a blessing for a myriad generations. But the Evil Infant’s Annihilation Wheel… unless one was a completely deranged maniac, upon finding it, they would surely spare no effort to seal it away—even if it required mustering the power of the entire world to do so. They would never even consider awakening or controlling it.

Yet today, in the Eastern Region’s Star God Realm, a million years after it destroyed gods and devils, the Evil Infant’s Annihilation Wheel reappeared. And it was not merely appearing, but accompanied by the awakened Evil Infant and world-shocking devilish energy!

As the Star Soul Absolute Realm disintegrated amidst the overwhelming devilish energy, the three God Emperors also clearly sensed the auras of the Star God Emperor and the other Star Gods. These auras were extremely chaotic, as if they had all suffered heavy injuries.

It was only natural that they suffered severe backlash injuries from the Star Soul Absolute Realm being forcibly broken. And the ability to forcibly break the Star Soul Absolute Realm meant that this power exceeded the combined might of the Star God Emperor, all Star Gods, and all elders!

It was a power beyond the realm of comprehension, a power that simply should not exist in this current era!

“Could it be… this is the Calamity of the Eastern Region?” the Heaven Severing God Emperor muttered. His brow then furrowed deeply, and he extended his arm, causing a rather large Profound Sound Transmission Array to appear before him: “All Guardians, heed my command! The Evil Infant has appeared, and the Eastern Region is in peril! Wherever you may be, whatever your current situation, immediately transmit yourselves to the Star God Realm!”

*Boom!!*

The Profound Sound Transmission Array dissipated, and the Heaven Severing God Emperor stirred up a vast wave of energy, charging directly towards the Evil Infant.

The Brahma Heaven God Emperor and the Moon God Emperor exchanged a glance… The Heaven Severing God Emperor was right; if it truly was the Evil Infant appearing, it was undoubtedly the Calamity of the Eastern Region! In the face of such a great disaster, their past grievances were insignificant. The two God Emperors simultaneously activated Profound Sound Transmission Arrays, issuing the most solemn and authoritative God Emperor’s commands:

“All Moon Gods, heed my command… immediately proceed to the Star God Realm!”

“All Brahma Gods and Brahma Kings, heed my command… immediately proceed to the Star God Realm!”

Although the Four Great King Realms were far apart, they were interconnected by profound teleportation arrays, allowing them to arrive in the shortest possible time. The Heaven Severing God Emperor had summoned only his Guardians, the Moon God Emperor only her Moon Gods, and the Brahma Heaven God Emperor his “Brahma Gods” and “Brahma Kings”—all representing the strongest echelons of power within their respective King Realms!

Because under the terrifying devilish might unleashed by the newly appeared Evil Infant, any relatively weaker forces arriving would merely throw their lives away for nothing. Moreover, in the face of this sudden Evil Infant calamity, they could no longer harbor any selfish motives or reservations… even if it might cause severe damage to their foundational strength.

The Profound Sound Transmission Arrays dissipated, and the two God Emperors followed closely behind the Heaven Severing God Emperor, heading straight for Star God City at their fastest speed.

At this moment, within Star God City, every living being, every wisp of air, every grain of dust trembled in fear.

None of them had ever seen the Evil Infant’s Annihilation Wheel, yet the name of that Wheel of World Annihilation reverberated and branded itself in their hearts like an irresistible and cruel curse.

That pitch-black wheel described in the records, that terrifying Evil Infant howling and laughing… and the Heaven Punishing Star God, whom they knew so intimately but who now seemed utterly alien, the one who had awakened everything and allowed the demonic wheel to attach itself to her.

Nightmare! Nightmare! All of it was a nightmare!

“Sis… sis… sister…” Cai Zhi collapsed onto the ground, staring blankly at Jasmine, who held the demonic wheel. Though she had clearly broken free from the seal, she seemed to lack the strength to stand.

“Jasmine… you… you…” The Star God Emperor was prostrate on the ground. Although he was injured from the backlash, it was certainly not to the point of being unable to rise. Yet, every single cell in his body trembled uncontrollably, and his limbs were so weak he could barely control them.

Around him, all the Star Gods, like the Star God Emperor, had collapsed to the ground; not a single one stood.

“Evil Infant… Evil Infant…”

“Ah… hiss… this… impossible… it can’t be real…”

They were witnessing the most terrifying thing in the world, enduring the most terrifying aura. And all of this was coming from Jasmine… the pitiful Star God who was supposed to become a sacrifice moments ago.

That Wheel of World Annihilation, which had slaughtered gods and devils and was feared by all living beings, was actually upon the Heaven Punishing Star God, Princess Jasmine, of their Star God Realm… And it had likely been there for a very long time!

How could they believe this, how could they accept it?

Not only did it exist within Jasmine, but its soul and power had awakened.

“You… deserve… death…”

“Deserve… death!!”

*Crack!!*

A clap of thunder echoed through the world—a bolt of pitch-black lightning, also beyond comprehension. This black lightning seemed to have disturbed the recently awakened devil god. Jasmine’s long hair, black as night, whipped wildly around her. The Evil Infant’s Annihilation Wheel released a dense black light, like the suddenly opened eye of a demon, and lunged towards the terrified Star God Emperor.

The wheel-blade, wreathed in black light and emanating devilish energy and murderous intent like that of a purgatorial demon, sliced towards the Star God Emperor… slicing towards the head of her birth father.

No one knew why the Evil Infant’s Annihilation Wheel was on her. This was Jasmine’s greatest secret, known only to her in the world. Even Yun Che and Cai Zhi were completely unaware.

Back then, in the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest, she had “taken in” the Evil Infant at its plea. Her purpose was to let it remain eternally dormant within her body, never fall into the hands of others, and never allow it to awaken.

But today… with Yun Che’s death, with the destruction of all her attachments and benevolence, as her negative emotions broke through a terrifying boundary… its power was awakened.

And the one who truly caused its power to awaken was not Jasmine… but the Star God Realm!

“…” The Star God Emperor remained stunned on the ground, completely unresponsive.

“My King, be careful!!”

Tian Yuan Star God Tu Mi let out a startled roar, leaping forward. With the Star God Shattered Shadow technique, he flashed instantly to stand before the Star God Emperor, quickly raising an Essence Barrier with his arm to directly meet the demonic wheel in Jasmine’s hand.

*Rip!* The Essence Barrier resisted the demonic wheel… but Tian Yuan Star God’s body trembled violently, and his heavily injured internal organs surged, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. A long, pitch-black crack opened and spread across the Essence Barrier. Wisps of black energy seeped out from it, coiling around Tian Yuan Star God’s arms.

As the black energy neared his body, Tian Yuan Star God’s face drastically changed. His hands grew eerily dark within the black energy, as if countless steel needles and iron hooks were tearing at his flesh, meridians, and bones, contorting his features in pain and a terror he could not resist with his will…

*Hiss!!*

The Essence Barrier was forcibly pierced by the wheel-blade. As the black energy erupted, it directly collapsed… Blood burst from Tian Yuan Star God’s arms, and he retreated rapidly backward.

What kind of existence was Tian Yuan Star God Tu Mi? A Level Nine Divine Master, the second most powerful figure in the Star God Realm in terms of status and strength, second only to the Star God Emperor! His Essence Barrier was renowned as the strongest defense known to the people of the Star God Realm; it would be absolutely impossible for even the Star God Emperor to break through it in a short amount of time.

Yet, before the Evil Infant’s Annihilation Wheel, before Jasmine, it shattered in a single breath!

That terrifyingly absolute murderous intent remained firmly fixed on the Star God Emperor. The Evil Infant’s howling and laughing echoed in every corner of the world, and the demonic wheel, wreathed in black light with world-ending might, smashed towards its master’s birth father, the Emperor of the Star Gods.

The Star God Emperor finally snapped back to his senses with difficulty. He had no time to summon his profound weapon. With a strange roar, he thrust out both arms, bracing them firmly against the Evil Infant’s Annihilation Wheel.

The Evil Infant’s Annihilation Wheel pressed horizontally upon his arms, and a pair of eyes glinting with black light stared at him… They were his daughter’s eyes, devoid of their former bloody glow, and without even a trace of warmth or reluctance. There was only endless gloom, coldness, hatred, and murderous intent…

“Jas… mine… Ah!!” He let out a soft call, and then his whole body convulsed violently. His features twisted and squeezed together… His hands, braced against the Evil Infant’s Annihilation Wheel, were silently enshrouded by black light. The backs of his hands and his fingers quickly turned pitch-black. His flesh was devoured layer by layer in the blackness, gradually revealing his ghastly white finger bones, and then even his finger bones rapidly became stained with a terrifying black.

Though he had just suffered backlash injuries, he was ultimately the Emperor of the Star Gods! His body was the most resilient divine body in this world… yet under this black light, in the blink of an eye, it turned into decaying flesh and withered bone!
