Chapter 502: Overbearing! Great Universe Elder!

He suddenly lifted his head, gazing at the gravely wounded Seven Yu Elder and at Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen, whom his aura had locked onto, his eyes full of cruelty and mockery.

"Today… Ye Wuque, Feng Caichen, you two little brutes, and you, old fool who doesn't know his place… you will all die here! Let your blood and souls bear witness… to the arrival of the New Era! Hahahahaha!"

Accompanying his unabashed, wildly arrogant laugh, the aura around him began to climb step by step, surging explosively.

That pure Ominous Power seemed to become the most domineering catalyst, wildly stimulating his potential and forcibly raising his realm's barrier.

His cultivation, starting from the pinnacle of Dao Ancestor Realm, shot up like a rocket, brazenly breaking that crucial threshold and reaching a level that made the starry sky tremble.

Quasi‑Supreme Realm!

Although he had just entered this realm and his aura was still somewhat vague and unstable, the terrifying pressure that towered above Dao Ancestor was undeniably real.

The vast power of the laws spread outward like an ocean centered on him, and the shattered starry sky moaned and twisted under his will.

"Quasi‑Supreme?!"

Seven Yu Elder's pupils constricted violently again, and his face finally showed extreme solemnity and horror.

This Ominous Power had become so strangely miraculous?

It could force a being at the pinnacle of Dao Ancestor Realm, in a short time, to be thrust up to a terrifying combat power comparable to Quasi‑Supreme?!

This was almost overturning his understanding of the power hierarchy.

The boost from Burn Primordial, before the true Quasi‑Supreme pressure, appeared so pale and feeble.

Seven Yu Elder's heart sank to the bottom of a valley.

"Do you feel it? This is… the true power!"

Thunder Tai Ji laughed wildly, no longer concealing, directly using that pure Ominous and bizarre power as the main force, mixing the remaining Lei Dian law, and unleashed a killing blow.

"Bizarre Thunder Burial!"

He spread his hands in a void embrace, the endless gray‑black Ominous Power mixing with Destruction Thunder, forming a sky‑covering, gray‑black thunderous giant palm etched with countless twisted, anguished faces and oozing filthy pus.

This giant palm was more than ten times more terrifying than the previous Annihilation Thunder Dragon!

Within the palm's core, countless worlds seemed to be born, decay, and Jiemie, bearing a despairing aura that could bury Zhutian and end the universe, covering and locking Ye Wuque, Feng Caichen, and the gravely wounded Seven Yu Elder.

Before the giant palm arrived, the Ominous aura that corrupts souls and pollutes Dao Heart already made Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen's blood surge, their faces turn pale, and even their thoughts seemed about to freeze.

Seven Yu Elder let out a muffled hum, and the gray‑black flow at his wound accelerated its corrosive speed.

The shadow of death, unprecedentedly dense!

Yet, at this hair‑splitting, irrevocable moment of death…

"You scoundrel!!"

"You're courting death!!"

A terrifying roar, wilder, more furious, more full‑bodied than any before Seven Yu Elder, as if it could howl down stars and shatter ages, rang out like the first divine sound at the birth of Open Heaven and Split Earth, erupting without warning from the deepest starry void, the origin of the laws!

The fury and murderous intent in that roar seemed ready to incinerate Zhutian and freeze‑crack Reincarnation!

At the same time—

Boom!!!

A colossal hand of law, entirely ablaze in an eternal, dazzling fire‑red, seemed to reach out from another dimension, ignoring space‑time and distance, arriving after the fact yet intercepting with pinpoint precision the gray‑black Destruction Thunder burial giant palm.

This fire‑red hand was not an energy illusion but seemed formed from the purest fire of Path Origin and supreme battle will!

Its five fingers were like mountains, the palm pattern like Star River, and the burning flame was not ordinary fire but a sacred, purifying, all‑devouring crimson‑gold hue!

The moment the fire‑red hand appeared, the temperature of the shattered starry sky surged sharply, and the lingering Ominous aura hissed as if meeting its nemesis, melting away swiftly.

"What?!"

Thunder Tai Ji's wild laugh froze, and his pupils showed, for the first time, an incredulous shock!

The aura of that fire‑red hand was extremely terrifying!

It even gave him a sense of being utterly unbeatable!

Boom—!!!

The fire‑red hand and the gray‑black Destruction Thunder burial giant palm collided solidly!

No stalemate, no deadlock.

Only… crushing annihilation!

That burial giant palm, infused with Ominous Power and a strike comparable to Quasi‑Supreme, upon touching the fire‑red hand, was like ice under scorching sun or oil‑splattered grime, emitting a teeth‑aching sizzle as it melted, collapsing, disintegrating, and vaporizing at a visible speed!

Its Ominous Power was completely purified by the crimson‑gold flame, while the Lei Dian power was brutally crushed and assimilated!

The collision's aftershock remained terrifying, sweeping the starry sky, but the fire‑red hand gave a slight tremor, and a gentle yet vast force shielded the area where Ye Wuque and the others stood, repelling all shockwaves outward.

Seeing the fire‑red hand, Seven Yu Elder's tense spirit finally relaxed completely, he let out a long sigh, and his face showed sincere respect and relief.

He hurriedly mustered his remaining strength, firmly shielding Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen behind him, preventing even a trace of the aftershock from reaching them.

The Void rippled like a water surface, forming concentric rings of flame; a figure stepped slowly from the center of those ripples.

It was a red‑robed elder, ten meters tall, like a primeval giant!

He was immensely tall and hulking.

His fire‑red battle robe, woven of some divine material, rustled with a swishing sound.

On it seemed countless fire dragons roamed and roared.

His beard stretched over two meters.

His eyebrows were also over a meter long.

His long hair fell more than five meters.

All of them shone with a burning crimson hue.

They moved without wind.

It seemed as if an eternal, undying divine flame quietly burned among his hair and beard!

His face was quite aged, covered with wrinkles.

But each wrinkle seemed to be etched with endless battles and vicissitudes.

Far from showing any sign of age, it instead added an unparalleled domineering aura that looks down on the world, roams invincibly, and an ancient majesty that has withstood ten thousand calamities without wear.

Especially the figure's eyes, like two condensed suns, whose opening and closing swallow divine light, seem able to pierce illusion, incinerate all evils, making one dare not stare directly!

"It's you! Great… Great Universe Elder?!"

Thunder Tai Ji let out a startled cry, his voice becoming sharp and distorted from extreme dread!

His body began to tremble uncontrollably; the earlier arrogance and hubris vanished, leaving only boundless horror and terror!

Seven Yu Elder looked at the red‑robed giant, who resembled a flaming War God, his eyes showing utmost solemnity and deep admiration, murmuring, "Great Universe Elder…"

That red‑robed giant is, without doubt, the foremost among the Nine War Generals under the Great Thousand Divine Universe Lord, whose fame resounds across Nine Heavens Ten Earths and even the ancient circles of Zhutian Wanjie, the Great Universe Elder… Murong Kong!

His talent astonishes the world, his power unfathomable, renowned, subjugating all living beings, yet he willingly swears to follow the Great Thousand Divine Universe Lord to death; his loyalty and strength are legendary.

It is rumored that countless years ago he already set foot in the Quasi‑Supreme realm and reached the pinnacle of that state; his strength is such that many veteran Quasi‑Supremes regard him with three parts of dread!

As the long years passed, no one knows exactly how far he has progressed now, but everyone is convinced that he is even more terrifying than the legends suggest!

Such a being has long been beyond worldly concerns; the rise and fall of ordinary universes and shifts of power cannot stir him in the slightest.

There are also rumors that he has been in the Closed Death Gate, seeking the ultimate breakthrough.

Who could have thought that today, for Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen, this legendary being would personally descend!

Seven Yu Elder's mind was as clear as a mirror; this must be the Great Thousand Divine Universe Lord's personal arrangement and command!

Beyond the Lord, in Zhutian Wanjie, no one can make this world‑looking Great Universe Elder appear so promptly to save the day!

Great Universe Elder stood proudly amid the shattered starry sky, his fiery war robe and long crimson hair moving without wind, exuding a supreme majesty that silences ten thousand Dao and drives all evils away.

His sun‑like eyes coldly swept over Thunder Tai Ji, as if looking at a filthy ant, then slowly spoke, his voice low yet like a Heavenly Dao decree, resonating in the soul of every living being with undeniable judgment:

"Colluding with the unknown, sowing chaos across Zhutian…"

"To be executed!"

When those final two words were uttered, the temperature of the entire starry sky suddenly rose to a terrifying level that could instantly vaporize even Immortal gold and iron!

Boundless killing intent, like a tangible fiery storm, swept in all directions, completely locking onto and engulfing Thunder Tai Ji!

The true finishing blow is about to be executed by the Great Thousand Divine Universe Lord's foremost War General, with his own hand!
