2060 A Single Thought
"You injured Yaoxue's hand?"
Su Zimo asked gently with a calm expression.
"I-I…"
Luo Ao's body trembled uncontrollably and he opened his mouth slightly, as though he wanted to explain something.
"Yes or no?"
Su Zimo looked at Luo Ao with a burning gaze and asked slowly.
Every single word seemed to have a tremendous force pounding on Luo Ao's chest!
Luo Ao wanted to remain silent, explain and lie.
However, under Su Zimo's gaze, he had no way of explaining himself. Uncontrollably, he opened his mouth slightly and said, "Yes…"
"You can die then,"
Su Zimo said indifferently.
The moment he said that, streams of scarlet light appeared from Luo Ao's body and burst forth!
"Mmm?"
The God Emperor's heart skipped a beat.
He was fully focused earlier on and was prepared to save Luo Ao at any moment.
However, before he even saw Su Zimo show any signs of attacking, Luo Ao was already on the brink of death!
What sort of methods were those?
There were no Dharmic arts, spirit consciousness fluctuations, divine powers, visual techniques or sound domain secret skills.
The Martial Emperor merely said a single sentence and such a terrifying scene appeared on Luo Ao!
"Ah!"
With a pained expression, Luo Ao let out a tragic cry and channeled his spirit consciousness wildly, releasing supreme divine powers one after another!
"Three Heads Six Arms!"
"Everlasting Vitality!"
"God's Kingdom!"
At that moment, after releasing three supreme divine powers, even his Essence Spirit could not withstand the immense burden and fine cracks appeared.
However, Luo Ao could not care less.
The pain on his Essence Spirit was far less than one-tenth of the pain in his body!
Right in front of everyone, Luo Ao's body was initially filled with streaks of red light.
However, after he released the three supreme divine powers, the red light intensified as though it was replenished!
The red light had already transformed into a scarlet flame rapidly!
That was a Karmic Flame!
Karmic Flames were not divine powers and were born from negative karma. However, they could burn divine powers!
Back then, the Martial Dao Prime Body comprehended the Red Lotus Karmic Fire in the Kunlun Ruins and was able to smelt countless divine powers to advance his cultivation.
Luo Ao was entangled by negative karma in his life. With a single thought from Su Zimo, his body would burn with endless Karmic Flames!
Luo Ao could not react in time and the God Emperor did not notice it either.
That was because Su Zimo did not conjure any Dharmic arts, channel his spirit consciousness or release any secret skills—he merely activated a single thought!
With a single thought, the Karmic Flames burned him!
If Luo Ao had not activated his divine powers, he might not have attracted such ferocious Karmic Flames.
The power of divine powers could not suppress the Karmic Flames at all and would only make them burn brighter!
Even with the exuberant lifeforce of Everlasting Vitality, it was difficult for the Karmic Flames to extinguish.
Everlasting Vitality was also a divine power.
Divine powers could not defeat negative karma!
Luo Ao's mouth was agape and his features were contorted with a menacing expression. The Karmic Flames burning on his body burned his hair, skin, flesh, bones, organs and Essence Qi red and transparent!
Right in front of everyone, Luo Ao's body was completely engulfed by the Karmic Flames!
Before long, the Karmic Flames gradually extinguished.
Luo Ao's figure had already vanished, leaving only a gigantic demonic red lotus flower on the ground!
The entire process sounded long but it only took less than ten breaths.
Luo Ao was incinerated by the Karmic Flames and his Essence Spirit could not escape. His flesh and blood eventually left only a red lotus imprint on the ground.
When they saw that, the people of Tianhuang Mainland finally vented their frustrations.
As for the God race camp, it was silent.
Initially, they had made a comeback with a torrential aura and were prepared to crush Tianhuang Mainland in one fell swoop. The cavalry crushed over and massacred wantonly!
But now that they saw such methods, every single God race being could not help but feel uneasy and fearful.
Piak! Piak! Piak!
Suddenly, the God Emperor clapped gently and praised with a smile, "What amazing methods."
Many God race beings were invigorated when they heard that.
Thankfully, the God Emperor was presiding over everything at the front!
Su Zimo's gaze shifted as he looked at the corpses that had yet to turn cold in the Kunlun Ruins. He looked at the scarlet blood river that was still warm in the God Slaying Valley and the millions of living beings that were killed by the God Emperor in three steps between the two armies…
In less than a day, close to ten million living beings were buried in the Kunlun Ruins forever.
If he had not returned in time, even more living beings in Tianhuang Mainland would have died!
A look of pain and killing intent flashed through the depths of Su Zimo's eyes!
He turned slightly and looked at the God Emperor for the first time.
There was no threat in that gaze. It was calm as water and clear.
However, for some unknown reason, the moment that gaze looked over, the God Emperor suddenly felt his hairs stand on end and his scalp prickle!
He finally understood the indescribable fear and irresistible pressure that Luo Ao felt against Su Zimo!
"The blood debt of ten million living beings in Tianhuang Mainland will be on you,"
Su Zimo glanced at the God Emperor indifferently and said, "You can die too."
The moment he said that, scarlet flames surged out from the God Emperor's body as well!
"Ah!"
The God Emperor shrieked in pain with a tragic expression.
He finally felt the pain of Luo Ao's death. It was as though there were a billion ants gnawing at his flesh, bones and organs!
Instantly, the God Emperor fell into madness and scratched his body wildly. Everywhere his fingertip passed, blood scars appeared and divine blood surged.
Although the golden divine blood possessed an incomparably mighty power, it could not extinguish the Karmic Flames and merely hindered them slightly.
The God Emperor regained his clarity momentarily. He did not dare to use his divine powers and channeled his spirit consciousness into the golden crown above his head!
Splash!
Eight sparkling gems were embedded around the golden crown.
At that moment, a milky-white glow surged out from the gems. It was divine and flawless as it scattered from above his head and washed through the God Emperor's body like a waterfall!
Buzz! Buzz!
The Karmic Flames in the God Emperor's body let out a sound and gradually extinguished under the envelopment of the milky-white light.
The God Emperor escaped death and panted heavily.
Although the Karmic Flames were extinguished, his flesh, organs and bones were still injured by them and were burned bright red!
The God Emperor's skin had already split open and demonic red lotus flowers bloomed!
Thankfully, he had this God's Crown. Otherwise, he would have died for sure!
"Oh?"
Su Zimo raised his brow slightly.
The Martial Dao Furnace smelted all Dharmic divine powers and the milky-white light that surged out of the God's Crown was a power he had never seen before.
That power could extinguish the Karmic Flames.
The God Emperor's divine blood surged and with the help of the God's Crown, his injuries healed in the blink of an eye.
"Fufufufu!"
When the God Emperor saw that the God's Crown could suppress the Karmic Flames, he burst into laughter. His confidence was regained as he shouted, "That's all there is to the Eternal Martial Emperor!"
"Is that so?"
Su Zimo had an indifferent expression as he held Ji Yaoxue's hand and walked slowly towards the God Emperor.
"Be careful, don't bring me along,"
Ji Yaoxue said softly.
She was worried about Su Zimo and wanted him to let her go and fight with all his might.
"It's fine,"
Su Zimo smiled gently and shook his head, still holding Ji Yaoxue's hand. "He's quite capable if he can withstand a single punch of mine."
