Chapter 915: The Fall of the Underworld King
Inside the Underworld King Absolute Domain, the collision between Statuses continued, and the cracks on the Palace spread across almost the entire structure.
Seeing this, Moqi could not help but feel his eyes split with rage, wanting to retract his Status and interrupt this battle. However, this was impossible; if he were merely initiating Status Suppression, he could have stopped, but now two Statuses were grinding against each other, and until one side was completely defeated, neither could stop.
What made Moqi feel despair was that this mutual grinding of Statuses was completely one-sided; his Palace was already covered in cracks, but Lingyun's Light Ball was unscathed, and even the two ribbons of light circling the Light Ball showed no signs of damage.
"This, this is impossible!" Moqi was nearly insane; what kind of origin did this Status have, and why, after experiencing multiple Status collisions, did it still show no damage?
Just at this moment, the Light Ball that had collided with the Palace several times seemed to grow impatient; it flew directly above the Palace and then plummeted straight down from the sky.
In an instant, Moqi felt as if he were hallucinating, seeing countless worlds falling from the Void at the moment the Light Ball descended, smashing heavily onto the Palace. Under this attack, the Palace finally could not withstand it, began to crumble inch by inch, and ultimately dissipated completely into the air.
As the Palace vanished, Moqi let out a shrill wail; he could already feel that his Status had completely disappeared. Even when being hunted by those World Consciousnesses, his Status had withstood their attacks, only suffering from degradation. But now it was different; his Status was completely gone, vanished into thin air. Even if he could ascend to the rank of Underworld King of the End in the future, the Status he condensed would not be this one.
Moreover, this was no longer a matter of considering whether he could condense a Status in the future; in fact, he had no chance left. The body he had seized was cut in two by Lingyun's sword, his own world had been sacrificed by him to initiate Status Suppression, and now even his Status had been crushed by that strange Status Light Ball; he had no chance of resurrection.
"You bastard!" Moqi let out a roar, and the giant face in the sky began to blur; this was the precursor to Moqi's imminent demise.
"Moqi, you have reached the end of your rope!" Lingyun caught the Light Ball that flew back into his hand and said with a look of certainty.
"It was you, it was actually you! I finally know who you are! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this; even if I die, I will drag you down with me!" Suddenly, Moqi seemed to have discovered something and could not help but let out an angry roar.
"I made you end up like this?" A hint of confusion appeared in Lingyun's tone; he had never met him before being hunted down as the Underworld King of the End, so why would Moqi say such a thing?
"The person in the Sea of Origin back then, was it you!" Moqi's voice carried deep anger.
"The Sea of Origin? Could it be when the Cloud Realm was born? Are you that person who barged into the Sea of Origin and ended up suffering a backlash from the power of the Sea of Origin?" A hint of strangeness appeared in Lingyun's gaze as he looked at Moqi.
What kind of existence was the Sea of Origin? It was the greatest and most sublime existence in the entire chaos. If the Sea of Origin had consciousness, even the strongest World Consciousness in the current River of Time and Space would have to be a generation lower in front of It; that Moqi dared to assault the Sea of Origin, he really was tired of living.
"It really was you; if it weren't for your temptation, how would I have fallen into this state!" The dying Moqi was nearing madness.
He had now cast his original greed to the back of his mind, instead attributing all the causes to Lingyun. He had completely ignored that if he hadn't conceived the idea of wanting to swallow the Cloud Realm at that time, how could he have ended up like this?
"Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!" Following Moqi's roar, an incomparably terrifying energy fluctuation appeared in front of the giant face.
As the energy fluctuation continuously dissipated, a Balance appeared in front of Moqi. This Balance was entirely Golden, as if crafted from Golden. Adorning the Balance were countless profound runes, each rune exuding a terrifying aura, an aura that even faintly possessed power surpassing Moqi's Status.
This Balance was something Moqi had obtained in a spatial vortex when he was in distress. This Balance had only one ability: to place certain things on one end of the Balance and, after activating the power of the Balance, exchange for almost anything through the method of equivalent exchange.
If Moqi could provide items of sufficient weight, this Balance could even restore his power to its peak through equivalent exchange. However, although the power of this Balance was immense, it had a huge flaw: it could only be used once. Whether it was used to restore Moqi to his peak state through equivalent exchange or merely to exchange for an ordinary nail, the power of the Balance would completely vanish, turning it into an ordinary balance.
"I, Moqi, am willing to use all my remaining power and my eternal demise to convert into damage against you, Lingyun, through equivalent exchange!" A ferocious light flickered in Moqi's eyes.
When this Balance appeared, Lingyun's expression became strange, because this Balance was one of his former masterpieces, and also a very dangerous item, because the range of things it could exchange through equivalent exchange was too vast; as long as it did not reach its limit, it could exchange for anything. It could even exchange for things that did not exist in the entire River of Time and Space and only appeared in fantasy.
After creating this Balance, Lingyun had once wanted to destroy it, but in the end, he kept it. After all, this Balance was something he had made inadvertently, and it might be impossible to make such a thing again, so it would be a pity to destroy it. However, Lingyun had added heavy seals to it and placed it in the deepest part of his Dantian Universe. After Lingyun survived the great tribulation of the River of Time and Space, this Balance was lost; he did not expect it to appear in Moqi's hands now.
Moqi poured all his remaining power into the Balance, and a hint of triumph appeared in his gaze toward Lingyun; he had once experienced the power hidden within this Balance, an existence that made even him feel terrified, and using this power against Lingyun could not be better. Even if he died, Lingyun would not have an easy time!
Just at this moment, Lingyun reached out and beckoned, and Moqi suddenly discovered he had lost control of the Balance. The Balance in front of Moqi turned into a stream of light and landed in Lingyun's hand; Lingyun held the Balance and revealed a smile at Moqi.
"Ho, how could this be?" Moqi could not help but widen his eyes, and his figure blurred violently again.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you one thing: this Balance was created by me! Do you think that holding my things to deal with me would have any effect?" Lingyun revealed a smile at Moqi that was enough to infuriate anyone to death.
"You, you..." Moqi's voice contained deep anger, but now he had poured all his power into the Balance and had no strength left to do anything to Lingyun.
The giant face slowly vanished into the Void, and the Underworld King Absolute Domain also began to collapse; with a piercing roar, the entire world plunged into a sheet of white light. Within this white light, the once-arrogant Underworld King of the End finally perished completely.
