Chapter 428

Facing the roars of the Abyss Demons, Mu Yi merely laughed and invited battle.

"Come fight!"

The Abyss Demons, who had originally been looking for excuses, held back out of pride, or were pondering how to respond due to their individual lack of strength, launched a counterattack the moment Mu Yi's frenzied strike cleaved the Dark Gate.

They poured out of the Dark Gate like a swarm of bees.

Dozens of spells and weapons were hurled at Mu Yi, but Mu Yi, covered within the attack range, showed no fear—instead he broke into a wild laugh.

Just like this! Just like this!

I'll take on ten!

No, I'll take on fifty!

A single horizontal sweep, the blade light swallowed all attacks; even seven or eight Abyss Demons joining forces to block were cleaved and sent flying.

More demon lords dodged the blade light and launched attacks at Mu Yi.

Yet these attacks gave Mu Yi no sense of danger whatsoever; he craved more, stronger assaults.

Without sufficient pressure, he simply could not complete the final step of his breakthrough.

The domineering Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, bearing an aura that would cleave all, amidst the encirclement of Abyss Demon Lords attacking from all directions, ruthlessly slashed at the frontline Abyss Demon Lord; brilliant will coupled with erupting Inner Qi cleaved him in two with a single stroke.

Even if several Abyss Demon Lords tried to block, facing such a terrifying strike they could barely defend themselves.

Mu Yi, aroused by killing, single-handedly blocked the Dark Gate and slaughtered wildly.

The other combatants on the battlefield were greatly inspired, erupting with power and fighting to the death against the Abyss Demons before them.

"Slash!"

Another strike, nearly cleaving heaven and earth, instantly annihilated one Abyss Demon Lord, while the shockwave left terrifying wounds on several nearby Abyss Demon Lords.

Before such a strike, their bodies, capable of battling a Dragon, were like a joke; even a glancing blow would carve bone-deep wounds.

The Abyss Demon God beyond the world, on one hand, bore an expression of shock and rage.

When had the Abyss ever been so embarrassed, being blocked at the Dark Gate and massacred by a mere mortal?

They wished they could descend and swat Mu Yi dead, but the problem was that the demon god who had just acted was slain outright by the gods, and more crucially, they had failed to obliterate that ant.

They appeared reckless, but in truth they did not want to wage war against the gods here, otherwise there would be no need for any godly covenant.

After several moves they had already infuriated the gods; if they dared to act up again, it would inevitably trigger a divine war.

Yet at this moment they saw no sign of being able to kill Mu Yi; even a gang assault was completely dominated by Mu Yi.

"We must kill him!"

The Abyss Demon Gods reached a consensus, and more Abyss Demons began to emerge from the Abyss.

"If ten can't kill it, then a hundred; if a hundred can't, then a thousand—we will utterly exterminate it!"

Furious roars echoed in the Abyss, and ever more Abyss Demons were conscripted into the war.

Mu Yi, however, couldn't care less; he was utterly immersed in battle.

"Weak! Weak! Weak!"

"It's simply too weak!"

Mu Yi wielded the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow; his fierce slash cut straight against the grain, slicing through the opponent's flood-like spell attack, and the strike imbued with strong will blasted the opposing Abyss Demon away.

An exhilarating, free-flowing battle.

The more Mu Yi fought, the more his battle spirit boiled over. Even though his Inner Qi had been expended by more than half, his aura rose to a new height, and his brilliant will turned into an endless wellspring of power.

He struck and sent his opponent flying, then gripped the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow with both hands, roaring as he charged forward to slash again.

The Abyss Demons surrounding Mu Yi all unleashed their full strength, wildly attacking his direction in hopes of forcing him to abandon his assault and fall back, using the tactic of 'besiege Wei to rescue Zhao'.

But Mu Yi didn't even glance; the Reincarnation Barrier fully unfurled, all power cycling and merging into the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, from which he unleashed a shattering strike at several Abyss Demons ahead.

At that instant the winds and clouds changed hue; the Abyss Demon Lord facing the attack head-on was like a tiny insect trapped in amber, utterly unable to struggle, only able to watch death approach.

Faced with Mu Yi's all-out explosive strike, it could only emit a spatial wail before plunging into the eternal darkness of oblivion.

Only then did several terrifying blasts slam into Mu Yi's body; the intense explosion birthed a dreadful shockwave, and the violent energy impact annihilated everything around.

Yet all the Abyss Demons, as if mad, continued to barrage Mu Yi's position with force.

Such brutality—enough in theory to pulverize any demigod—still saw all the Abyss Demon Lords frenziedly attacking.

Because they sensed Mu Yi's lingering aura of life.

This human is far too strong, having completely surpassed the world's upper limit of power.

They did not understand where this strength came from, but they knew they had to expend everything if they hoped to stand a chance against him.

"Are we just going to watch?"

A demigod who had slain his opponent asked anxiously.

He could not even imagine how he might survive such an onslaught.

"Just watch honestly; charging up would only get in the way. Look—doesn't the one you just cleaved in half resemble you, rushing forward?" a teammate jeered.

"Just thinking of facing such a monster as an enemy makes my heart turn cold!" the demigod remarked, having been struck head-on by several Boundary-breaking attacks—would he really not die?

The aftershocks faded, the dust settled, and Mu Yi hovered in the void above the sky; the surroundings were already a ruin, and this was only because Mu Yi had absorbed most of the damage—otherwise the destruction would have been even more evident.

"How could this be…"

Several Abyss Demon Lords standing upon the heavenly firmament trembled as they looked at Mu Yi; their fighting spirit had utterly dissipated, for there was no way—the gap was simply too vast.

They simply could not comprehend why, after fighting this long, Mu Yi remained utterly unblemished.

"The Abyss Devourer is a fine teacher!"

Mu Yi's face showed a hint of mockery; the soul of the Abyss Devourer greatly enhanced the Hungry Ghost Path, allowing him to complete the advancement to the fifth path.

Nine-tenths of the Abyss Demon Lords' attacks were devoured by the Hungry Ghost Path before they could even land.

Then the Hell Path purified this devoured energy and channeled it into other barriers, keeping his power in a dynamic balance between consumption and recovery.

This is also why he can maintain an explosive state at all times.

With the Abyss Demon Lords serving as power banks, his energy is virtually limitless.

"Finished? Then it's my turn now!"

Mu Yi plummeted among the Abyss Demon Lords like a meteor; several Abyss Demon Lords scattered without a second thought, making it completely impossible to fight.

Both sides are fundamentally not of the same realm; they both say they share the same level, both have broken the barrier, yet in real combat the disparity is a full two tiers!

It would not be wrong to regard the opponent as a true deity of the living world.

"I grant you all an equal death!"

Like cutting melons and vegetables, that's Mu Yi's display in cutting down these Abyss Demon Lords.

The Abyss Demon Lords that scattered and fled caused Mu Yi considerable trouble; he had to waste a great deal of time to catch a single one.

This caused his killing efficiency to drop sharply, and these Abyss Demons, like insects, kept spewing spells at him—lacking real lethality but extremely aggravating.

"It's time to end!"

Mu Yi hovered in the air, somewhat annoyed; this game of hide-and-seek made him unable to muster any combat interest.

He fixed his gaze on the Dark Gate.

"What does it want, this lunatic? The Dark Gate is a spawn of the Abyss; even a god can't easily destroy it!"

"A complete lunatic!"

"Ignore it, keep attacking; we must never let it get close!"

A horde of Abyss Demons continued to attack Mu Yi with cold sarcasm; the results were negligible, but that was all they could do at the moment.

Mu Yi casually deflected their attacks, took a deep breath, and his radiant will enveloped the surroundings.

The celestial qi within a hundred‑mile radius began to wildly coalesce in tandem with Mu Yi's actions.

Mu Yi started to radiate, his outer magical aura continuously expanding until it rose to a towering, earth‑piercing magnificence.

"Cut!"

Mu Yi clenched the Great Summer Dragon Sparrow, bearing an unstoppable terrifying momentum, and hacked toward the Dark Gate.

At the moment the strike collided with the Dark Gate.

The earth quaked, mountains shuddered, and the ground began to shatter.

A blade as massive as a hanging cloud slammed down on the Dark Gate.

Dust from the broken earth rose high, shrouding the battlefield in a dim amber, while Mu Yi watched the scene in silence.

"Useless effort; the Dark Gate doesn't shatter that easily!"

"It looks like it's failing; let's give it extra force!"

Cold sarcasm spread among the Abyss Demon Lords.

But Mu Yi paid it no heed, merely watching the Dark Gate in silence.

"Clack…"

A crisp shattering sound emanated from the Dark Gate, and even the demigods engaged in battle couldn't help directing their eyes toward it.

Fine markings began to spread from a single slash, almost instantly covering the whole Dark Gate.

Under everyone's watch, the Dark Gate shattered.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!"

A roaring sound on the Material Plane reverberated to the heavens; with the Dark Gate gone, it signified the Abyss's defeat.

The righteous cheered the triumph of justice, delighted to have rescued another Plane from evil's clutches.

"Plane information: Dark Gate disappeared, Kriswa Material Plane achieved victory!"

"Plane information: All players who took part in the battle will receive corresponding rewards based on their performance; after settlement, every player may freely choose to leave this battlefield Plane."

"Battlefield information: This battlefield Plane will close in 30 natural days; all players should exchange their military merits before closure."

"Battlefield information: This battlefield's military merits do not accumulate or stack; after closure, a Zongwang reset will occur."

Mu Yi's retina kept refreshing with prompt messages.

But Mu Yi was indifferent; the battlefield still teemed with Abyss Demons, and without the Dark Gate, they were merely lambs awaiting the slaughter.

"This... this can't be!" an Abyss Demon Lord exclaimed incredulously at what unfolded before his eyes.

"Nothing is impossible!"

Mu Yi materialized before it, then expressionlessly swung the Great Summer Dragon Sparrow.

The war is ending, and next we must completely sweep away this trash.

The Abyss Demons, deprived of the Dark Gate, fell like a mountain of defeat, almost entirely being individually purged by the Material Plane's strong.

Even if they fled to the farthest corners of the world, they could not evade the relentless chase of the Material Plane's numerous strong.

"Processing character settlement..."

"Destroyed the Dark Gate, earned top rating."

"Killed massive numbers of Abyss Demons, many Abyss Demon Lords, a few Abyss Demon Divine Avatars; rewards greatly increased."

"Based on the above evaluation, your rating for this battle is: Sacred (1), processing rating settlement..."

"Based on your final rating, you have earned the following rewards:"

1. Basic reward: Special‑grade military merit medal (usable to exchange for some rare limited items), massive military merit reward, abundant Zongwang universal experience, abundant Zongwang Disaster Coins…

2. Sacred rating reward: One Sacred skill point (usable to boost any Sacred‑quality skill).

ps: After using the Sacred skill point, any penalties to the character's upgraded skills—including but not limited to permanent decline, special weakening, constant curse, contract consumption, etc. —will be restored, though the associated spells, contract effects, and the like will be nullified.

ps: Sacred skill points are divine‑derived items; they cannot be transferred or sacrificed, and may only be used by the current recipient.

When Mu Yi slew the final Abyss Demon Lord, the settlement rewards for this battle were also granted.

As the undisputed MVP of the entire battlefield, Mu Yi's rewards were almost overwhelming; even the rewards earned by those demigod professions were merely a drop in Mu Yi's ocean.

But Mu Yi only gave a glance; the Abyss Demons dispersed, yet his business in this world is not yet finished.

"Then, it's time to cleanse this filthy world now!"

Mu Yi lifted his butcher's knife and walked toward the human kingdom.

All sins will be judged.

Mu Yi truly didn't know how to cure a world's chronic ailments, but he could still cut out the rotting parts.

From south to north, Mu Yi brandished his butcher's knife and settled all evils.

All the demigods, including the Great Sage, were forced to gather together and block Mu Yi's path.

"Are you trying to stop me?" Mu Yi asked, looking at the Great Sage before him.

"This kind of slaughter cannot solve the problem!" the Great Sage said, gritting his teeth.

"Look at the places you've passed; order has collapsed, spawning even more tangled sins!"

"You want to stop me from eradicating sins?" Mu Yi raised the knife in his hand.

Everyone, including the Great Sage, couldn't help but step back; they were unwilling to confront Mu Yi at all, which was truly terrifying.

"Give us a chance to handle it. Previously, the Abyss invasion left us no chance to reorganize internally. Now give us a chance to handle it, to govern this world more properly!"

"I'll keep an eye on how you handle it!"

Mu Yi ultimately decided to give the Great Sage a chance.

In the end, this world belongs to them; these devout defenders fighting for its survival are trustworthy, yet Mu Yi did not lower his knife.

He knew clearly that to eradicate sins, the strongest force was required.
