Chapter 457

Chapter 457: National Guardian Heavenly Master Takes Action!

"You have no right to negotiate—only surrender."

"If your race wishes to survive, fine. But every one of you must compensate humanity’s losses. Those who killed our human Night Demons will face judgment and execution."

"You will become vassals—nothing more."

His hatred for the invaders made Mu Lin’s terms harsh.

As expected, the Night Demon Elder immediately rejected them.

"Impossible. We bow to no one. We abandon no kin."

"Is that so…"

Mu Lin grinned, his smile cold and twisted.

"Then if you refuse to pay… you’ll all die here."

Boom… roar!

As Mu Lin spoke, the seventh explosion erupted. The seven core nodes of Night Demon Heaven collapsed under endless light and heat.

With the formations destroyed, the endless nights of darkness spawned by their warped laws began to fade. Daylight pierced the sky, weakening every Night Demon’s power.

As the Night Demon Elder’s vitality dwindled, Mu Lin’s body blazed with scorching light. A primal terror gripped the elder’s heart.

"Retreat!"

He snapped his wings open, fleeing at breakneck speed—

But escape proved futile.

Fast as the elder was, Mu Lin matched him.

"I am the great sun!"

Mu Lin’s burning form streaked toward the elder like a comet—the Golden Crow’s transformation into a rainbow technique.

How had Mu Lin learned it? The Vengeful Spirit Golden Crow, though mutated, retained ancestral techniques etched into its being. Its flames had shifted from solar fire to vengeful blaze, weakening some spells or warping their effects—but the core remained.

Bound to the True Spirit Domain Chart, Mu Lin now wielded those very skills. As the Embodiment of Calamity – Great Sun, he channeled the Golden Crow’s legacy through the vengeful spirit.

The transformation into a rainbow was but one such gift.

Whoosh!

Boom!

Flames tore the sky as Mu Lin’s radiant form slammed into the elder within shattered Night Demon Heaven—all in the span of a heartbeat.

"Boom!"

After colliding with the Night Demon Elder, Mu Lin’s speed did not decrease. Pushing against the elder, the rainbow-transformed Mu Lin kept hurtling toward the distant crowd.

"Boom!"

The fiery collision unleashed tremendous kinetic and potential energy. This level of impact… the Night Demon Elder could still endure.

As a powerful Earth Immortal, and with Mu Lin not reaching light-speed, survival remained possible.

Yet as Mu Lin’s energy grew fiercer and more volatile against his body, the Night Demon Elder sensed mortal danger.

"If this detonates, I’ll die!"

Refusing to perish, he surrendered at once.

"Stop! I yield! I submit!"

Death’s threat erased all thoughts of his tribe.

Too late.

Once embodiment of calamity – great sun activated, even Mu Lin couldn’t halt it.

Nor did he try.

He distrusted the Night Demon Elder, certain of future betrayal.

"Atone in hell!"

"Boom!"

Mu Lin slammed the elder into the ground at blinding speed.

Endless light and heat erupted from Mu Lin’s body.

"Boom… roar!!!"

Flames devoured and melted all.

The searing heat vaporized every form.

Before self-destructing, Mu Lin’s will of dominance thundered:

"I am the sun!"

"I obliterate all!"

"Boom!!!"

The willing heart fire’s power ensured Mu Lin’s calamity-sun annihilated both matter and spirit.

Flesh and soul alike perished—the elder’s body burned away while his trapped spirit shattered under Mu Lin’s crushing will.

One self-destruct erased an Earth Immortal.

The blast scorched kilometers, its mushroom cloud towering skyward.

Continual explosions plunged Night Demon Heaven back into gloom—choking dust blotted the sun, restoring endless nights of darkness.

At the same time, the terrifying explosion and the Night Demon Elder’s death chilled the hearts of Earth Immortal experts hiding in Night Demon Heaven, casting gloom over their minds.

Putting themselves in the Night Demon Elder’s position, these Earth Immortals realized with horror that if he couldn’t withstand the calamity sun’s self-destruct, neither could they.

"That monster doesn’t even need to get close to blow me apart!"

"With golden crow’s rainbow transformation speed, escape is impossible once he targets me…"

"Could I blast him mid-air? No – even destroying the calamity sun in flight wouldn’t save me from its massive destruction range…"

"Ten-kilometer blast radius… annihilating heat… How can he keep using such attacks?!"

The Earth Immortals trembled with fear. Having cultivated for millennia to become powerful beings, they could enjoy comfortable lives even if their tribes fell.

With such promising futures ahead, none wished to die. Yet confronting Mu Lin meant likely annihilation in blazing light and heat.

Many Earth Immortals refused to fight. But soon they discovered escaping proved equally difficult.

When Night Demon Heaven’s formations broke, Mu Lin led the human army forward.

A hundred and eight Mu Lins hovered in the sky, each radiating terrifying light and heat – all capable of unleashing sun-crashing attacks.

This spectacle paralyzed the Earth Immortals. Even the strongest abandoned thoughts of resistance or flight.

One calamity sun could destroy everything. Against a hundred and eight? Survival seemed impossible.

Mu Lin’s arrival silenced the world. Monsters and evil spirits froze like winter cicadas.

This sight filled Mu Lin with satisfaction.

"Firepower truly decides everything."

"Enough firepower makes everyone show respect!"

Though intimidating the Earth Immortals, Mu Lin knew this wasn’t the end. With True Gods blocked in the outer realm, celestial masters held real power. Both Night Demons and Nightmares had such masters, while other monsters brought apostle-level reinforcements.

These forces wielded great power. They wouldn’t fear him, nor surrender.

Events unfolded as anticipated. Before Mu Lin could speak, hidden mental energy stabbed at his consciousness while endless shadows formed a colossal hand grabbing toward him.

The celestial master had struck.
