Chapter 125: Finale

"Master, everyone has arrived."

High above Mount Wudang, within the drifting clouds, an invisible spacecraft hovered. On board, the Bone-Eating Dragon was communicating with Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai, currently on the moon and engaged in idle chatter with the old man from the Copper Gate, paused at these words and smiled. "Then send them all over."

"Understood."

Zhang Kai turned his attention back to the old man. "I must say, you’re not showing me much respect. We’ve collaborated before, and one of your big shots is still living off me for free back at my place. Now you’re turning your back on me? Be careful, or I might just lose my temper."

"Don't you think you're being a bit shameless?" the Copper Gate old man retorted loudly, clearly displeased. "My Demon Realm was doing just fine, content to live in peace, yet you keep coming here to stir up trouble. That’s just unreasonable."

"I’ve said my piece. Cooperate or don't—give me an answer," Zhang Kai said, his expression hardening decisively.

The old man gritted his teeth. "Aren't you afraid that if you push us too far, we'll all just go down together?"

"I’m not afraid." Zhang Kai flashed a grin.

"Fine. I’ll leave the gate to you, but trying to fleece my Demon Realm won't be that simple." With that, the old man vanished.

At that moment, on Mount Wudang, over eighty percent of China’s cultivators, along with practitioners from other nations, had gathered to discuss how to grow stronger under the new oppression.

Just as everyone had assembled and before the Emperor could step out to speak, beams of light suddenly descended from the sky, shrouding the entire Mount Wudang region. The beams were massive, radiating intense fluctuations. Every cultivator on Mount Wudang was instantly spirited away. Even the Emperor and the other Wudang powerhouses hidden in the forbidden grounds were helplessly swept away.

Simultaneously, beams of light appeared in forbidden grounds across the globe. Everything living within these zones vanished in an instant. It happened so suddenly that neither humans nor other species could react.

When they regained their footing, they found themselves in a strange environment. The spiritual energy here was impossibly dense. Giant birds the size of airplanes circled the sky, apes as tall as buildings leaped across mountain peaks, and even the butterflies were the size of millstones.

"This... this is the Demon Realm!" a deity who thrived on incense offerings recognized, his face pale with horror.

"Damn it, we've been ambushed! Everyone, stay alert!"

"Who the hell did this? Where is their honor?"

As the humans, deities, and denizens of the forbidden grounds panicked, powerful consciousnesses across this world swept over them in an instant.

"Humans and incense-deities... that brat actually sent them over. Pass the order: exterminate them all."

"As you command!"

In no time, countless demon creatures surrounded them. Soon, every human, deity, and forbidden-ground creature that had entered the Demon Realm was slaughtered.

Watching from the lunar portal, Zhang Kai finally spoke: "The Demon Realm has broken our agreement. Since you won't show me respect, then let’s go to war."

With that, he tossed a sun into the portal. To his surprise, before the sun could unleash its power, a massive golden bird swallowed it whole. Zhang Kai stared, stunned. *So that’s why they weren't afraid—they were prepared. That must be the legendary Golden Crow. My sun was just a snack to it.*

"But do you think the sun is my only trump card? Wrong. That was just an appetizer."

Without a second thought, Zhang Kai threw something else in: a black hole. In an instant, the black hole expanded, its violent vortex consuming everything in its path. The Golden Crow, still flying triumphantly after eating the sun, was swallowed by the black hole in the next moment, without even a struggle.

Then came the mass consumption. Countless demon beasts, flora, soil, and water were devoured and turned into nothingness. Faced with such a force, the grandmasters of the Demon Realm were enraged. *This is too much bullying!*

One after another, the demon powerhouses stepped forward to suppress the black hole. And, to their credit, they were truly formidable; they managed to restrain the black hole, halting its consumption for a time.

Zhang Kai simply grinned and tossed one more thing inside.

The next moment, the entire Demon Realm shimmered with an eerie luster, and the demon powerhouses, along with the black hole, were compressed into a flat painting.

It was a dual-vector foil. Yang Lu had unleashed his ultimate weapon. This sci-fi creation, beyond all imagination, had been produced at great cost by a group of people completing tasks, becoming Zhang Kai’s reserve weapon. Under the pressure of the dual-vector foil, the entire Demon Realm underwent dimensional reduction, and the demon powerhouses could do nothing to resist.

Seeing the effect, Zhang Kai decisively tore through the Netherworld and tossed another foil inside.

"No!" a chorus of grandmasters cried out in shock and fury from within the darkness.

However, wherever the dual-vector foil spread, no powerful being could resist or escape. Compressed instantly, the entire Netherworld ceased to exist.

Following that, he cast dual-vector foils into the Buddhist Realm, the Demon Realm, the legendary Half-Step-More, and the Western Divine Realm, reducing them all to nothingness.

"Ding: That is enough. Things like this will attract the covetous gaze of those above the heavens!" the Forbidden entity suddenly spoke, warning Zhang Kai.

"What, are you afraid?" Zhang Kai asked.

"It is not fear. You are simply not qualified to face those existences yet," the Forbidden replied.

Zhang Kai said, "What if I bring out countless dual-vector foils and seal the entire myriad of heavens and worlds? What then?"

The Forbidden remained silent for a long time. "Unimaginable. Unpredictable."

"Then let’s try it." Zhang Kai’s eyes burned with intensity. "We can't drag this out any longer; if we do, the readers will come to hunt me down."

Forbidden: "???"

"Open the portals to the Three Realms. Forbidden, I think we can take this gamble. Success or failure, at least we resisted. We won't have tarnished the reputation of the Three Realms. And who knows, we might even trap some of those things from above the heavens."

Forbidden: "Although I do not know what these 'readers' you speak of are, your idea truly exceeds my calculations. Very well, let us try. They dared to scheme against me back then; now, it is our turn to scheme against them."

Immediately, the portals between the Three Realms and the myriad heavens were flung open. Outside the portals, countless beings from the myriad worlds were waiting, ready to strike. But before they could act, a dense swarm of dual-vector foils flew out.

In an instant, countless beings were rendered into two-dimensional paintings. Then, more foils flew toward even further, more distant universes. These foils became the nightmare of countless universes; countless alien beings died without ever knowing how.

Then, a vast, ancient aura emerged, shrouding the heavens. It was an indescribable existence from above the heavens, sensing the changes in the myriad worlds and descending. It looked like a giant crab.

The Three Realms were instantly locked down. But before this existence could make a move, countless dual-vector foils slammed into it.

Indescribable Existence: "???"

*They actually possess such power? They must be eradicated.*

"Experience destruction."

The indescribable existence launched its own attack—the Power of the River Crab!
