Chapter 463: Universal Celestial Draw

Using light to cleanse all impurities, Mu Lin wasn’t worried about harming ordinary people.

The Boundless Light didn’t rely on mere light and heat to destroy monsters and evil spirits in the distant North Wilderness—only those near the battlefield faced its scorching intensity. Instead, it drew its power from the purifying principles Mu Lin had infused into it. The nuclear fusion hovering at his fingertip and the endless radiance served as both fuel and conduit for these cleansing laws.

True purification meant targeting only harmful forces—the impure power threatening humanity. Distinguishing friend from foe across such vastness would’ve been impossible… but Mu Lin, merged with the heavens, achieved it effortlessly. Yet this feat deepened his detachment, his expression growing colder as his connection to the celestial order intensified.

A resonant hum echoed as light erupted from Mu Lin’s fingers. Monsters and evil spirits across the North Wilderness wailed incessantly.

"Mercy…"

"Spare us…"

"We surrender…"

Distant evil spirits dissolved first. Those closer to Mu Lin suffered worse fates. Any entity below celestial master rank—monsters, insect apostle’s offspring, Night Demons, even Nightmares—crumbled to ash under the relentless glow.

The forbidden horrors summoned by the apostles resisted longer. But while their dark energy countered purification, quantity overpowered quality. Water quenches fire… until flames grow hot enough to boil oceans. With limitless energy from the nuclear fusion at his command, Mu Lin outmatched them completely. The apostles, rejected by the world itself, couldn’t even draw energy to fight back.

Like embers swept from a dying fire, the corruption faded under Mu Lin’s light. The colossal eight-headed serpent disintegrated, its lingering frustration and phantom form no match for the radiance. The insect apostle fought desperately, sacrificing its brood and even parts of itself to empower the Gluttonous abomination—but even this enhanced horror dissolved under the cleansing tide.

Three hundred breaths later, the battlefield stood empty. Every monster and evil spirit had vanished, purged by Mu Lin’s "Above the Heavens and Below, Only I Hold Supreme Power." Only five remained: three celestial master apostles, plus two apostle-level beings whose hiding spells failed when the light burned through. All five fled in terror—not just from Mu Lin, but from the three major legions and other legion commanders watching hungrily nearby.

In this situation, they naturally wanted to flee.

Yet neither Mu Lin, Zhang Hetian, nor the commanders of the Black Sha Legion and Thunder Legion would permit it.

"Escape? You didn’t seek my approval."

"Slaughter them!"

Seeing the enemy’s retreat, Zhang Hetian, the Seven Kill Wolf Lord, and Five Thunder Celestial Master gave chase.

Mu Lin also refused to let these monsters and evil spirits escape.

Keeping one hand raised toward the sky to maintain nuclear fusion’s boundless energy, he lifted his earthward-pointing hand. His clawed palm targeted the fleeing insect apostle.

While maintaining this stance, Mu Lin continued visualizing the sun in his sea of consciousness – not its blistering heat or radiant light, but its planetary gravitational force. Channeling this concept through his magic, he manifested the sun’s cosmic pull.

"Universal Celestial Draw!"

The buzzing technique froze the insect apostle mid-flight, invisible forces binding it like taut chains.

"Bastard! You’ll die with me!" The trapped apostle thrashed wildly, its shell glowing crimson to resist the flaming chains now searing its flesh and spirit.

Mu Lin tightened the burning restraints, dragging his prey closer. The apostle retaliated by evolving fire-resistant armor, then shockingly began consuming the flames themselves.

True to insectkind’s Adaptability, this amalgamation of a million species’ DNA kept transforming – escaping restraints, regenerating wounds, and countering every attack. What began as simple combat became an evolutionary arms race between divine combustion and primordial mutation.

Yes, it could swallow fire.

Using the fire as energy, it triggered a third transformation again.

This time, it changed into a longhorn beetle-like insect. Of course, compared to ordinary beetles, it was countless times bigger – mountain-sized.

The colossal body gave it unstoppable strength and rock-hard defenses.

"Moo!"

Ignoring Mu Lin’s pulling force and the chaotic attacks from Zhang Hemiao and Sheng Cang, the insect apostle charged forward.

Then it actually moved backward eight hundred meters… Though its beetle form was powerful with endless strength, Mu Lin now had nuclear fusion backing him up, granting limitless energy.

With this energy source, Mu Lin activated the Universal Celestial Draw – strong enough to drag entire mountains. Against such terrifying force, the insect apostle couldn’t escape.

"Bastard!"

The irresistible pulling power enraged it, but despair hadn’t set in yet.

"Bzzzt!"

Activating energy inside its body, it transformed into another special insect.

This form lacked immense strength or size, but its surface became perfectly smooth.

Smooth beyond natural limits – Mu Lin’s chains simply slid off.

But despite this slippery body… it still couldn’t escape.

"Bzzzt!"

Mu Lin kept maintaining the Universal Celestial Draw, not just pulling objects but making space itself warp toward him.

With reality itself bending, the insect apostle remained trapped.

Though countering this insect form, Mu Lin stayed alert.

As a divine apostle wielding celestial master-level power, even suppressed by heavenly laws, and despite Mu Lin’s infinite energy, he still took it seriously.

He believed the insect apostle had more hidden abilities.

Mu Lin’s suspicion proved right – the insect apostle did have more tricks.

But after brief consideration, it suddenly stopped resisting, letting Mu Lin drag it into the Strong Magnetic Field at his fingertips. The endless flames burned it to ashes.

"???"

Before dying, it shot Mu Lin a venomous glare and hissed: "Mu Lin, was it? You who destroyed this vessel – I won’t forget!"

"……"

The sudden surrender confused Mu Lin, making him suspect traps.

But those final words made him understand, leaving him speechless.

"That idiot actually thinks it can achieve Rebirth after I kill it?"
