My dearest friends — forever mine
Across all 350 Heavenly Dao Worlds, wherever the Soundless Void Annihilation Formation activated, the affected area didn't explode — it simply ceased to exist, erased from reality itself. Every atom was pulverized into nothingness, leaving behind vast lake-like craters, several kilometers wide.
Even sound waves were swallowed entirely, leaving behind an eerie, absolute silence.
In Xu Tianran's former Heavenly Dao World, four demonic spy peak masters were directly erased from existence. Each of them carried a Soundless Chaos Star Bomb hidden within their space rings, its presence completely concealed by the system's heavenly concealment function.
Meanwhile, the former territory of the Blood Demon Sect had been replaced by a massive dent stretching for kilometers — every trace of the sect and its lands erased from existence, leaving behind only a clean slate.
This was his revenge fulfilled — the price they paid for the destruction of his family at their hands.
In the Immortal Great Dao World, this event triggered a massive disturbance. Across numerous worlds, several demonic sects, ghost domains, and beast territories were silently erased, leaving nothing behind.
But the destruction itself wasn't the only shocking part — what truly terrified the powerful forces was the absence of negative energy. Normally, after such mass slaughter, the Heavenly Dao would need to purify the resulting resentment and karmic filth, yet this time, there was nothing to cleanse.
Even more horrifying, the souls of billions of dead beings never entered reincarnation. It was as if something had devoured their very origin, erasing their existence at the most fundamental level.
Investigations were launched across countless worlds, but all they found were several enormous dents where entire sects and domains had once stood — wiped out in the same moment, vanishing as if by some unimaginable power.
But Xu Tianran felt nothing but pure joy.
To him, it wasn't just their deaths — it was the fact that everything about them was devoured. Their souls, their negative energy, even their connection to reincarnation itself was severed.
This meant anyone he killed would never reincarnate. There would be no second chances, no cliché fate reversal, no desperate time-travel attempts to rewrite history. Once devoured, they became nothing more than Devouring Points, eternally fused into his being.
"All of them are now part of me," he whispered to himself, lips curling into a dark smile. "My dearest friends — forever mine. Hehehehehe..."
For a brief moment, Xu Tianran paused, a strange thought surfacing — Am I walking the path of evil?
But almost immediately, he shook his head and dismissed the idea. Evil or good? What does that even matter?
All that matters is power. My power. My perspective.
What others think is meaningless to me.
Calming his excitement, he focused back on his Devouring Points. The system window was flickering wildly, clearly struggling to process the sheer influx of points all at once.
After a long pause, the flickering finally settled — and the numbers left him momentarily stunned:
Devouring Points:
Talent: 50 Billions
Cultivation: 80 Billions
Skill: 45 Billions
Law: 75,000
Other than the Law Points, the rest were simply unbelievable.
But even the Law Points held terrifying significance — because in all the Heavenly Dao Worlds, only Tribulation Transcendence Realm powerhouses could truly comprehend Laws.
And the total number of such powerhouses he had killed amounted to at most 8000.
Xu Tianran asked the system to show his status window.
A golden translucent screen appeared:

Soundless Chaos Star Bomb: 1 Billion
Upon seeing this, his hands started itching uncontrollably, eager to press all the + symbols at once.
But he forced himself to calm down. Even though the Supreme Dao Law insights he once comprehended were lost, he had already begun comprehending countless Supreme Dao Laws again in this life. After all, what if one day he needed to reincarnate to save his life again? Who could say for sure what the future would bring?
Taking a deep breath, he first pressed the + symbol next to Karmic Law.
Instantly, his comprehension of Karmic Law rose from 1% to 3%. Countless profound insights about Karma surged into his mind like a raging river. He closed his eyes, silently absorbing the flood of revelations like a dry sponge soaking up water.
Without hesitation, his fingers moved to the + symbols beside Body and Talent, both still at Low Primordial Level. This time, he skipped Mid Level and Upper Level entirely, directly advancing both to Peak Level.
Body: Eternal Chaos Thunder Body (Peak Level) (Primordial)
Talent: Chaos Origin Supreme Spiritual Root (Peak Level) (Primordial)
This time, there was no unbearable pain. Instead, Chaos Energy rampaged through every inch of his body, flooding his cells, bones, and meridians. Even his soul basked in a gentle warmth, as though delicate hands were massaging every fiber of his existence. A soft moan nearly escaped his lips as his body trembled, expelling a thick, foul black liquid — the last of his impurities flushed out completely.
His flesh had now become a flawless vessel for Thunder and Chaos Energy, while his hair crackled with lightning, every strand carrying destructive intent. Thankfully, the room's protective formation ensured nothing was accidentally destroyed.
As for his Spiritual Root, its transformation was even more shocking — his Law Comprehension Speed had increased tenfold, and his mind became crystal clear, like fog lifting to reveal a bright sky.
With a casual thought, he cleaned the impurities off his skin, leaving his body flawless.
With that, his Talent Points dropped sharply, leaving only 5 Billion remaining.
"It seems advancing Talent and Body to the next level will demand far more points," he muttered.
Only then did he turn his attention to his cultivation realm. To break through to the Earth Immortal Realm, it was no longer enough to simply accumulate Chaos Energy like before — he now needed to comprehend at least one Law above 30%. The path ahead had fundamentally shifted.
