Chapter 531 - 369: Sweeping Divine Skill: 15,000-Kilometer Domain Crush

Especially his "Eternal Fierce Sun," which could combine Gravity and Thermal Energy, and even incorporate Rules like Purification to magnify its power.

Ian had only broken through a few months ago, and he was quite satisfied with the strength he now possessed.

He had just consecutively slain two Level Four Mutant Beasts, particularly a leader like the Dark-winged Dragon Bat, which commanded a vast number of minions.

The resulting Rule Fluctuations and shockwave of Order Energy had thoroughly enraged every Pollution Source in this world!

Ian sensed that the remaining eleven Level Four Mutant Beasts, as well as the colossal "shadow" on the Central Continent, had all awakened!

They stared in Ian’s direction, a savage killing intent erupting skyward.

"ROOOAR..." All the Level Four leaders roared at the sky.

Across the entire world, all Mutant Beasts were driven into a frenzied counterattack.

They no longer hid, no longer cowered, and began to recklessly attack any "foreign entity" they could perceive.

Deep underground, countless Mutant Beasts began to swarm human strongholds.

On the surface, flying monsters that blotted out the sun and sky began to gather. They had only one target... Ian!

’Looks like I need to speed things up.’ A cold glint flashed in Ian’s eyes.

He no longer held back. His form slowly ascended, piercing through the thick cloud layer to arrive high in the skies of the Estelle World!

This was the first time he had truly appeared in this world’s "sky."

Above him was a dark red, fissure-covered sky; below, a vast land blanketed by a fungal carpet.

In the distance, he could see twisted mountain ranges, the ruins of crumbled cities, and swarms of Mutant Beasts surging toward him from all directions!

They were densely packed, their numbers impossible to calculate.

In that moment, all the filth of the entire world was surging toward him.

’How dare these ants provoke the might of heaven.’

Ian floated high in the sky, closing his eyes.

In his Sea of Spirit, the Blazing Star Core began to spin wildly, its golden halo erupting with a dazzling radiance.

VMMMM!!!

With him at its center, a spherical Rule Domain with a radius of fifteen thousand kilometers unfurled to its full extent.

This was no longer just Gravity Perception, but a true, crushing application of a Rule!

Within the Domain, every Mutant Beast below Level Four—no matter how deep they hid underground or how high they flew in the sky—froze in place at the exact same instant.

And then...

POP! POP! POP!...

As if they were all simultaneously squeezed to bursting by an invisible, giant hand.

Their flesh, bones, and organs collapsed and shattered under the suddenly immense Gravity.

Vile, dark purple blood rained down upon the land like a torrential storm!

Golden Purification Light transformed into a fine, gentle rain, scattering down from the heavens.

Each drop of this luminous rain fell upon the remains of the Mutant Beasts, upon the fungal carpet, and upon the land itself.

All pollution, all filth, melted and evaporated as swiftly as snow beneath a blazing sun!

The dark purple spore clouds filling the air were dispelled by the golden light.

The writhing fungal carpet on the surface of the earth was forcibly peeled away and purified.

The pus and blood flowing in the rivers were restored to clear water.

All pollution within the entire Domain was being forcibly "cleansed"!

At that moment, Ian’s figure began to circle the planet.

He was like a blazing sun, trailing a golden wake tens of thousands of kilometers long.

Wherever he passed, his Rule Domain advanced in sync.

Mutant Beasts below Level Four exploded and died in vast swathes, only to be completely obliterated by the Purification Light.

This process continued for a full hour.

When Ian had completed a full circle around the planet and returned to his starting point,

the entire Estelle World fell silent, becoming unprecedentedly "clean."

There was no longer a putrid stench in the air, nor a fungal carpet on the land.

The rivers once again ran clear, and the mountains were revealed once more.

The omnipresent, oppressive aura of pollution... over ninety percent of it had vanished!

All that remained were the eleven Level Four Mutant Beasts and the two "shadows" on the Central Continent.

They had relied on their own powerful resistance to his Rule to barely survive the Domain’s overwhelming pressure.

Aside from the two on the Central Continent, the rest were all injured, their auras weakened and unstable.

There was no suspense in the battles that followed.

Like an emissary of the Death God, Ian hunted down the Level Four Mutant Beasts one by one.

In the face of his absolute, crushing power, all struggle was futile.

Gravity Imprisonment, Time Prediction, Red Blade Piercing, Purification Annihilation...

The Eternal Fierce Sun bloomed time and again, claiming one Level Four life after another.

Soul Gemstones of various colors were collected into his Dimension Ring. The entire process was efficient and ruthless.

Even without the amplification of a Wizard Tower, this was the terrifying might of a true Morning Star Wizard.

When one achieves such overwhelming superiority at the level of Rules, factors like numbers, terrain, and even a so-called "home-field advantage" become a joke.

Ian had not even used his full strength.

By merely coordinating five of his Rules, he had effortlessly completed a "Great Purge" of the entire world.

When the last Level Four Mutant Beast was reduced to Ashes in the Eternal Fierce Sun, Ian floated high in the sky and slowly let out a breath.

At the edge of his vision, text silently materialized on his panel.

[World Pollution Reduction: 71%]

[World Will Revival Progress: 29%]

He had just sensed that the speck of golden light tangled in vines, deep within the planet’s core, had brightened considerably.

It even conveyed a faint emotion of "gratitude."

’Time to deal with the last one.’ Ian looked toward the Central Continent.

Above the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom, a shadow as vast as a mountain materialized, emitting a terrifying aura that could make one’s heart stop.

It seemed to have been thoroughly enraged by Ian’s massacre.

No longer hiding, no longer dormant, it slowly "stood" up like an awakening Demon God.

The mere surge of its aura caused the sky in that region to twist and shatter, revealing dark purple spatial Rifts behind it.

’So it’s an independent spatial fragment.’

Ian did not head over immediately, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

With a mere flicker of his consciousness, a clear telepathic message was sent directly into the minds of all survivors within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers.

"This is Ian. All survivors, you have half a month to gather at Deep Rock City."

Within Deep Rock City, Lumina was terrified and uneasy because of the recent cataclysmic changes.

The moment that voice appeared in her mind, she trembled from head to toe.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she immediately used the network of Gravity Passages Ian had previously established to issue the highest-level assembly order to all known human strongholds.

"The Eternal Fierce Sun Crown has issued a decree! All humans, assemble at Deep Rock City!"

"The path ahead has been cleared! The light is coming!"

This command spread like wildfire throughout the Underworld.

In thirty-seven large and medium-sized human strongholds, over six hundred thousand survivors, after a brief moment of hesitation and disbelief, erupted into earth-shattering cheers!

With their families in tow and carrying what few supplies they had left, they set out on the road to Deep Rock City.

Along the way, they witnessed an unprecedented sight.

The tunnels were clean and tidy, the air was fresh, and even the rock walls emanated a faint golden glow.

All traces of Mutant Beasts had vanished, as if they had never existed.

As they walked, many people collapsed to their knees, weeping uncontrollably.

They knew the long darkness... was finally over.

Ian floated high in the sky, silently "watching" the Underworld. This was the greatest, most unprecedented human migration in nearly a thousand years.

His gaze then fell back to the Central Continent, where the "shadow’s" aura had already climbed to its peak.

It was even causing some of the world’s extant Rules to tremble.

’Level Four Peak. It seems this is the world’s final ’malignant tumor.’’

A flicker of killing intent flashed in the depths of Ian’s eyes.

’Once I clean this up, I should be able to get my hands on the Star Realm Refined Gold and the knowledge about Floating Cities I need.’

He half-closed his eyes and began to adjust his state, digesting the insights gained from the previous battles.

In his Sea of Spirit, the Blazing Star Core had become even more solid and active. Having slain a vast number of Pollution Sources, it had absorbed a portion of the purified World Origin, and the light of its golden halo grew ever more brilliant.

Ian could feel his power still steadily increasing.

He opened his eyes. Reflected in the depths of his golden pupils was the terrifying "shadow" in the distance.

’The final malignant tumor... It’s time for its removal.’
