Chapter 229 Devil's Sword, Kill Im!

Heavenly Lightning Tribulation!

Lucifer raised his finger, and the sky unleashed endless lightning, striking down upon Im.

Im's figure turned to ashes and completely dissipated.

But suddenly, a chilling murderous aura emerged behind Lucifer out of nowhere.

A sharp longsword, coated in high-density Armament Haki, slashed toward Lucifer's neck.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing echoed in all directions as Lucifer blocked Im's sneak attack with just one finger.

"Fall!"

A tremendous gravitational force erupted, crushing down on Im's body, forcing him to bend under its weight.

Before Im could counterattack, Lucifer struck a powerful punch into his chest.

The armor of Armament Haki shattered, and Im was sent flying like a beam of light, crashing heavily into the Red Line.

The ground shook violently, rocks exploded, and a section of the Red Line collapsed.

"Crush!"

"Explode!"

"Fall!"

Lucifer unleashed the power of the Word Spirit Fruit, forming a unique gravitational field and an impenetrable vacuum wall, crushing Im layer by layer.

Even the mighty Red Line could not withstand such devastating power and crumbled piece by piece.

The once-unshakable Red Line, tens of thousands of meters high, was being obliterated layer by layer.

At the same time, the invisible power of the Word Spirit Fruit invaded Im's body, attacking his internal organs.

Im coughed up blood, his skin cracked open, and countless fractures spread across his body like a spider web.

"Everything shall be reduced to ashes!"

A furious roar erupted from the ruins, and a dazzling beam of light shot up into the sky, piercing through the clouds.

Lucifer's gravity field was instantly shattered.

Im soared into the sky, his long hair disheveled, blood dripping from his wounds.

"You untouchable insect... You've pissed me off!"

"Turn to dust!"

A transparent beam of light radiated from Im's palm and blasted toward Lucifer.

Wherever the beam passed, the Red Line was instantly obliterated, forming a deep trench that extended into the seabed.

The Red Line had been severed with a single strike.

Lucifer hovered in midair, gazing at the sundered Red Line, his blood boiling with excitement.

"Good! Good! Now that's what I'm talking about!"

"Ragnarok!"

Lucifer raised his palm and brought it down.

A golden, giant sword tore through the heavens and descended upon Im.

Im's hands glowed with a transparent light, unleashing another devastating beam.

The giant sword and the beam clashed.

For a moment, the world fell silent.

Then—

A colossal explosion erupted, forming a massive mushroom cloud in the sky.

The shockwave expanded for hundreds of miles, vaporizing the sea and annihilating everything in its path.

Even the mighty Red Line could not endure such terrifying force.

Boom!!!!!

A miniature sun appeared over the ocean, and the shockwave obliterated everything in its vicinity.

Even those hundreds of miles away could see its blinding radiance.

The moment their eyes met the light, countless people across the world were blinded, their vision burned by its intensity.

"Black Hole Devour!"

A demonic whisper echoed through the sun.

A black hole formed, swallowing the shockwaves and flames, consuming all destruction into its abyss.

By the time the aftermath settled, a massive portion of the Red Line had been completely erased.

Mariejois, along with the Red Line spanning over ten miles on both sides, had vanished entirely.

The mighty Red Dragon that once divided the world—was severed today!

Clang!

A flash of jet-black sword light streaked across the battlefield as Lucifer appeared behind Im.

Bright red blood sprayed into the air as Im frantically teleported a thousand meters away.

A severed arm flew through the sky, marking Im's bitter defeat—

The King of the Celestial Dragons had lost an arm!

Lucifer turned around, holding a long, pitch-black sword.

Before Im's severed arm could touch the ground, it crumbled into ashes and scattered with the wind.

"You…!!!"

For the first time, fear flashed across Im's indifferent eyes.

"How does it feel, experiencing pain again after 800 years?"

Lucifer sneered.

Im said nothing. He quickly sealed his wound, and a black substance emerged from the severed area, forming a new arm.

Yet, Lucifer could tell—it wasn't a real human arm.

It was merely a construct of Im's Devil Fruit.

Clearly, his fruit's ability couldn't regenerate limbs truly.

"This is the Devil's Sword."

Lucifer raised his obsidian blade.

"Everything it cuts shall be erased from existence—permanently. Even time itself cannot restore it."

His voice was calm, but his words carried an overwhelming sense of finality.

"To die beneath this sword is the greatest honor you'll ever have in your miserable life."

The moment his words fell, Lucifer vanished.

Sensing danger, Im immediately teleported away.

Yet—

Slash!

A blinding sword light flashed.

An arm flew into the air.

The Devil's Sword had been unsheathed once more.

Im had lost another arm.

Even with both arms severed, Im remained silent.

His strength allowed him to endure the excruciating pain.

But what truly crushed him was not the agony—

It was the humiliation of defeat.

For 800 years, he had ruled the world.

Now, he was being cut down by a mere pariah.

This—was something he could never accept!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Im fled desperately, but Lucifer relentlessly pursued him.

Im was fast—but Lucifer was faster.

As sword flashes streaked through the air, fresh wounds appeared across Im's body.

As Lucifer had said—everything the Devil's Sword cut would be utterly destroyed.

The more Im was struck, the graver his injuries became.

His breathing grew weaker.

His presence dimmed.

"Wrath of Thor!"

Desperate, Im turned and pointed a trembling finger.

A colossal Thunder God, standing 10,000 meters tall, materialized in the sky.

It roared, summoning the thunder of the nine heavens to strike down upon Lucifer.

But—

Lucifer merely raised his Devil's Sword.

With a single swing—

Slash!

The sword light cleaved through the heavens.

The Thunder God was split in half instantly.

Under the corrupting power of the Devil's Sword, even the mighty lightning itself was eroded and ceased to exist.

Boom!

Im had reached his limit.

His once vast Conqueror's Haki field had shrunk drastically, now covering only a mere kilometer.

"It's over—Break the Sea with a Sword!"

Lucifer swung his sword furiously, unleashing a black sword slash that stretched for thousands of meters, cutting through the air and striking Im as he fled.

The Conqueror's Haki field shattered, and the sea itself was torn apart.

The seawater churned violently, but the sword marks left behind remained unhealed, as if the ocean had been permanently scarred.

The sea had been completely split!

Im's fleeing figure finally came to a stop. A deep crack ran from the center of his forehead down to the very bottom of his body.

Yet, no blood flowed from the wound—because the blood had already been destroyed by the devil's corrosive power.

"Impossible!"

Even after being cleaved in half, Im did not die immediately.

Perhaps it was the immortality granted to him by the Ope Ope no Mi's Eternal Youth Surgery, or maybe it was the immense power of his Devil Fruit.

Whatever the reason, he still clung to life.

But Lucifer could sense it—Im's breath was fading rapidly.

Even if he wasn't dead yet, it was only a matter of time.

ROAR!

A deafening roar echoed from the sky.

Uranus cried out in endless rage and sorrow.

The legendary beast shared a deep bond with its master—each Uranus would recognize only one master in its lifetime.

Now, as Im teetered on the brink of death, Uranus could feel it.

It struggled, desperate to come to his aid, desperate to kill Lucifer and avenge its fallen master.

But unfortunately for it, the skeletal Uranus stood in its way, keeping it trapped.

"I'll send you off properly."

Lucifer shot forward like a phantom, his demon sword sweeping through the air.

The sword light flashed.

In the next instant, Im's head was already soaring through the sky.

A gentle breeze blew past, and both his head and body disintegrated into fly ash, scattering into the wind.

Ding!

[Host has killed Im, the King of the Celestial Dragons. Reward: 2,000,000 Killing Points.]

The system's prompt echoed, confirming Im's complete death.

The reward was immense—two million killing points.

But Lucifer no longer cared about the killing points.

"Rebirth!"

Lucifer reached out and seized Im's Devil Fruit.

It was a colorful fruit covered in intricate spiral patterns—unlike any he had ever seen.

There were no records of it within the World Government's archives.

But Lucifer knew it was powerful.

ROAR!!!

A colossal tsunami of flames crashed down from the sky.

Uranus didn't hesitate.

Even as the skeletal Uranus drove its claws into its lower abdomen, it still launched an attack on Lucifer.

Uranus had only one master in its lifetime—and it would live and die with him.

Now that Im was dead, it had no reason to live.

"Enough—I'll send you on your way."

Although Uranus was a legendary creature, before Lucifer, it was no different from an ordinary Sea King.

Lucifer raised his devil's sword and swung.

A black line was drawn across the sky.

A moment later, Uranus had been pierced straight through the head.

The massive, 10,000-meter-long body of Uranus plummeted from the sky, crashing onto the Red Line with a deafening impact.

Its enormous body dangled over both sides of the Red Line, like a noodle hanging from a pair of chopsticks.
