Chapter 578: Unmatched in the World

The Thearch giant Luo Qicheng was terrifying. Every inch of his skin spewed golden energy outwards, boiling to scorch the cosmos and tear through the void.

Without a doubt, the golden light he was now unleashing was enough to ignite planet after planet, truly a power capable of destroying heaven and earth, with unparalleled vast might!

Such force and such methods meant that a single blow was enough to obliterate powerful races, igniting their planets and reducing them to cosmic dust!

In the starry sky, countless leaders of various races felt a chill from head to toe. Just moments ago, they had been watching the spectacle, waiting for the Thearch race's supreme status to be challenged.

But now, they were jolted awake as if doused with cold water. The Thearch race was still terrifyingly formidable, unattainable, and still possessed the power to rule.

If not for the Saint Master, who could resist? In the starry sky, many allied races could be wiped out with a single blow, their entire populations annihilated.

At the bronze coffin, light splattered everywhere, as if a sea of stars was boiling and erupting. Outsiders couldn't see the true scene, only sensing its supreme power.

At this moment, the Star-Herding Whip, both ancient and sacred, cleaved through cosmic space, carrying an endless torrent of runes. It poured down and slammed into Thearch giant Luo Qicheng's fist, resulting in a fierce collision.

The void was annihilating, heaven and earth were tearing apart, and cosmic space was being ripped into pieces like a tattered painting caught in a hurricane.

Around them, some enormous meteorites, minor planets in truth, instantly melted and vanished as if evaporated from the world.

The energy between the two was utterly overwhelming, destroying all matter in the heavens!

If Neptune, Pluto, and other planets within the Solar System had not been protected by the peerless domain laid by the Saint Master, they would likely have suffered severe damage, as this was a heaven-destroying battle!

Thump, thump, thump!

Luo Qicheng retreated. With every step, the starry sky exploded as if a black cosmic abyss appeared, the energy unleashed by his footsteps being overwhelmingly formidable.

In their first clash, he was at a disadvantage, driven back by the Star-Herding Whip. But he was not flustered; instead, a sneer appeared on his face, his golden pupils growing even brighter, and his killing intent intensifying.

He took a deep breath, and the starry sky undulated as starlight surged like a tide, flowing into his body. The Thearch Breathing Technique, reputed as ultimate, possessed abilities beyond human imagination.

"Saint Master," the Thearch giant Luo Qicheng said with a chilling tone, "Are you still lying in your coffin, refusing to show yourself? Are you still alive, or truly dead? If you are truly gone, these domain methods you arranged will not last!" His battle aura swept across the Solar System. At this moment, he became the sole brilliant entity in the starry sky, standing within a golden orb of light. As his breathing technique operated, his entire being grew even more dazzlingly golden!

The strong individuals from various races who had entered the Solar System earlier to observe from outside Earth had long since hidden behind Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and other planets; otherwise, they would have been affected and suffered immensely.

"Summon the Thearch!"

Luo Qicheng's voice echoed through this space, like an ancient bell ringing, resonating in everyone's hearts and deeply shocking them.

He was like an unparalleled overlord emerging from hell, embarking on a path of return, intent on reviving in the human world and ruling over the universe. His energy surged, overwhelming the starry sky!

As soon as this method was unleashed, the leaders of many powerful races across various galaxies changed their expressions. All observers felt a tremor in their hearts, as if naturally suppressed.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

From the darkness, from the unknown depths of the universe, golden bones flew one after another, burning with dazzling golden light. They illuminated sea after sea of stars, then plunged into the Solar System, carrying the resonance of the Great Dao and various astonishing phenomena, colliding with Luo Qicheng and merging with him.

Summon the Thearch!

The effect he displayed was countless times more powerful than what Luo Hong had demonstrated, overwhelming the cosmos and intimidating all races in the starry sky.

Of course, Luo Hong's cultivation level was too low at the time, only at the Contemplation realm, so it was difficult for him to fully manifest the might of summoning the Thearch.

Now it was completely different. Heaven and earth trembled, and the cosmic starry sky shook. Piece after piece of golden bone, along with golden skin, integrated into Luo Qicheng's body, causing his energy aura to surge dramatically, as if he had become a completely different person.

At this moment, those golden bones flying from unknown space each carried a distinct phenomenon: some wafted with ethereal mist, shrouded in white fog; some emitted dragon roars; and others were accompanied by phantoms of true phoenixes, surrounded by divine birds, bathed in dazzling golden light.

Bang, bang, bang!

Luo Qicheng's body vibrated as piece after piece of golden bone was summoned and integrated with him, turning him into an incredibly dazzling ball of light in the universe.

Any strong individual could perceive that his energy intensity rapidly increased, surging significantly compared to before and growing exponentially!

"Saint Master," Luo Qicheng roared domineeringly, "I have longed for this battle for a long time. Whether you are alive or a corpse, today I will eliminate you and remove this great threat!" His golden long hair surged, and his entire being exuded a sea of vital energy, emanating from his skin and instantly enveloping the entire space.

Rumbles!

Around him, lightning intertwined, and giant bolts of thunder appeared one after another. It was as if divine light that split open the heavens, the first ray of light at the dawn of creation, cleaving open the starry sky.

At this moment, the movements of the nine major planets in the Solar System went awry, as if they were about to halt and head towards destruction.

Without a doubt, if not for the domains left by the Saint Master in the past, any other battlefield would see all celestial bodies destroyed. There would be no nine major planets; they would all be submerged by his vital energy and covered by his dense power, utterly annihilated.

"The Thearch manifests!" Even some veteran Saints exclaimed in awe, feeling a sense of powerlessness. Luo Qicheng in this state was simply insurmountable, possessing an unparalleled, invincible demeanor.

"Kill!" The Thearch giant Luo Qicheng erupted, stepping forward. Heaven and earth pulsed with him as he raised his fist and struck. The area where he stood became a self-contained space, seemingly impervious to all methods and shrouded in golden light, yet the fist prints he unleashed were overwhelmingly dominant, capable of harming others.

The Solar System trembled, and a massive explosion occurred at the bronze coffin!

The nine major planets and the sun emitted domain symbols; otherwise, they simply couldn't withstand it. Outside the Solar System, some planets exploded and others ignited — this was the might of the Thearch!

Even at such a distance, possessing such terrifying power, fervent discussions erupted on the Primordial Beast Platform, Black Blood Gladiator Arena, and other places. Evolved beings from various races engaged in heated debates, all discussing how high Luo Qicheng's energy index truly was!

"Where's the bronze coffin? I can't see it. It couldn't have been shattered by the Thearch's fist, could it?!"

"The so-called summoning of the Thearch, where do those golden bones actually come from? Are they a special kind of energy? I've heard that these golden bones flew out from fragmented ancient universes at the edge of the cosmos, but I don't know if it's true!"

"What about the Saint Master?!"

Everywhere, countless people watched nervously.

The Star-Herding Whip slashed out, also carrying thunder and flames, illuminating the Solar System. It blasted open the fist print, forming a terrifying mushroom cloud, followed by annihilation.

"Clang, clang, clang..." Just then, all nine major planets trembled together. Then, they all emitted dazzling light, as if immortal energy was surging, followed by sounds like immortal swords being unsheathed.

The nine major planets were like nine sword sheaths. Having been nurtured from ancient times until now, they cultivated nine extremely dazzling beams of sword light. They shot into the sky, spinning, carrying thunder, lightning that could shatter the universe, and endless auspicious colors, slashing towards Luo Qicheng!

Nine immortal swords, nine beams of sword light, all cultivated by the domain, unleashed overwhelming killing intent that shook this sea of stars, causing those outside to gasp in cold air.

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

Blood splattered from Luo Qicheng's body. He roared and bellowed, because he had been struck by the swords, and blood streamed from his entire being. Even with the so-called golden bones integrated into his body, it was futile; he couldn't block the nine immortal swords.

"Ah..." The Thearch giant screamed, golden vital energy splattering everywhere from his body. He suffered severe injuries, being strangled by the peerless domain laid down by the Saint Master back then. The nine beams of sword light were too terrifying; even though he had just entered the Reflection of All Heavens realm, it was still not enough.

His arm was struck, and his left arm fell off.

"Pfft!" Another immortal sword slashed, striking his right knee and sweeping across with sword light. One of his lower legs fell into the Solar System, golden blood staining the void.

"My heavens, is the Saint Master defying the heavens, wanting to dismember the Thearch giant? His divine might is invincible!"

In the starry sky, many veteran strong individuals exclaimed. Having heard of the ancient battle, and even knowing some of the Saint Master's methods, they were still shaken to their core.

"No wonder he dared to fight and contend with existences that reflected the heavens back then," remarked a voice. "To research domains to this extent, it's truly unprecedented, beyond anyone's reach."

The strong individuals from various races, witnessing the Saint Master's methods, were all utterly astounded.

The nine immortal swords spun, all inscribed with dense domain symbols. They traversed the Solar System, transforming into divine light, flying up and down, slashing at Luo Qicheng and tearing apart the cosmic void.

"Pfft!" The Thearch giant was struck in the chest by a sword. A sword qi pierced through his body, exiting from his chest, leaving it transparent from front to back, causing him severe injury once again.

At the same time, a beam of immortal light flew past, grazing his neck, leaving a terrible, bleeding wound that almost directly beheaded him.

"Ah..." Luo Qicheng's hair was disheveled. He had been filled with ambition, believing himself invincible after reaching the Reflection of All Heavens realm, finally able to suppress the legendary Saint Master and kill him here. But now, it seemed he was still no match.

He shattered the starry sky and escaped from the Solar System, fleeing along a wormhole to appear outside, carrying his severed arm and a segment of his lower leg, where he panted heavily.

As the Thearch Breathing Technique operated, his severed arm and lower leg rapidly flew back to his body, healing and regrowing. His entire body glowed, radiating dense life essence.

"Saint Master, you cancerous tumor, aren't you dead yet?" Luo Qicheng defiantly questioned, "You have arrangements in the Solar System, but now I've escaped. What other methods do you have!?"

Luo Qicheng was defiant, and golden light flared in his pupils.

Indeed, the nine immortal swords did not pursue him; they eventually all disappeared into the nine major planets, vanishing without a trace, and the Solar System returned to peace.

"If you have no more tricks, I will obliterate you beyond this domain!" Luo Qicheng said with extreme grimness.

"Hm?!" At this very moment, everyone felt surprised. As the nine major planets rotated around the sun, they arranged themselves into a graceful arc.

Then, they connected together, forming the body of a bow!

Next, the planets at the outermost ends glowed, connecting to form a bowstring, emitting a faint vibrating sound. The gathered energy was terrifying.

At the same time, the sun glowed, positioned perfectly on the bowstring. Then, a golden beam of energy surged from the sun, transforming into an arrow, which shot out with a whoosh.

All of this happened too quickly, surpassing the speed of human thought.

Even the Thearch giant, who had already sensed something was wrong, still couldn't dodge in time. A colossal arrow flew, directly aiming at his body, which had expanded to the size of a celestial body.

"Pfft!" Blood light splattered as the energy arrow pierced through him, then exploded within his body, instantly causing Luo Qicheng to scream and disintegrate.

Everyone was stunned!

On Earth, at Dragon-Tiger Mountain, Chu Feng was stirred to his core, trembling with excitement. "Is this the extension and development of domains?" he wondered. "It's terrifying! Using cosmic bodies as chess pieces, setting up killing arrays, strangling all enemies in the heavens." This opened an even wider gateway for him, exhilarating him and showing him an unimaginable path.

"Ah..." The Thearch giant was blown apart by the arrow, his golden blood splattering everywhere outside the Solar System.

Many people were petrified, all dumbfounded. "What kind of method is this?" they wondered. "Using the nine major planets as the bow and the sun as the arrow to shoot down a Thearch giant?!"

"Saint Master, I will never rest until one of us is dead! This time... you are doomed!" Luo Qicheng roared. Amidst the blood light, he was desperately reassembling his body.

Everyone was startled. Why did he still have such confidence?

Just then, in the cosmic starry sky, other vast and boundless forms appeared. One descended, carrying a ghostly aura, its black mist covering the Solar System and suppressing the world.

Another figure, dazzling with golden light, appeared from a different direction. Also vast and boundless, its golden eyes were as huge as the sun. It was also from the Thearch race, but even more terrifying than Luo Qicheng.

At the same time, another mysterious figure, enshrouded in mist, stood in the starry sky beyond the domain. Its aura was so intimidating that even Saints trembled and felt compelled to prostrate themselves.

Everyone was stunned. Three powerful beings at the Reflection of All Heavens realm had appeared simultaneously, intending to suppress and kill the Saint Master.

Without a doubt, Luo Qicheng's appearance and his arrogant words were all deliberate. This time, the Thearch race was determined to eliminate the Saint Master, having made overly thorough preparations.

Here, an ancient ancestor of the Thearch race, an ancient ancestor of the Underworld race, and a mysterious figure had attacked together, having waited for a long time. This was an inescapable killing formation!

"Saint Master, now that you've come, don't leave!" the Thearch ancient ancestor said, the light emanating from its golden pupils, as large as the sun, was terrifying.

At this moment, with a soft click from the bronze coffin, the lid opened, and a hand extended from within, truly appearing in the world!
