24: Chapter 24 I am the Great Cataclysm!

After Wang Haoyu and his remaining retainers fled in panic, Su Ming's mind stirred, and his divine consciousness quietly sank into the Jiuyou Divine Domain.

At this moment, within the soul fusion pool at the center of the divine domain, countless corpses floated and sank, while gray-white soul mist churned and surged.

Under the dissolving power of the pool liquid, massive amounts of fragmented souls and shattered bodies were constantly broken down and smelted, all converging and pouring into the massive demonic dragon corpse at the center of the pool.

Su Ming looked down quietly, his brows furrowing slightly.

This demonic dragon possessed a thin draconic bloodline, and its foundation far surpassed ordinary secret realm monsters with terrifying combat strength. If it were directly converted on the spot into ordinary Undead Retainers, its innate potential and foundation would be too wasted.

Only by using the soul fusion pool to repeatedly smelt and reshape its divine soul and physical body could its draconic growth potential be preserved.

However, the smelting progress was currently stagnant and slow, and wanting to completely finish the soul fusion transformation was far more difficult than estimated.

Temporarily suppressing his thoughts about the soul fusion pool, Su Ming raised his eyes to look at the massive dragon skeleton spanning across eternity deep within the divine domain.

The dragon skeleton lay quietly on the land of Jiuyou, and after enduring the erosion of endless years, it still stood as lofty as a mountain with an undying aura.

The heavy draconic might suppressed the entire divine domain, causing the all-encompassing Netherworld yin qi to bow and tremble as it slowly circulated around the dragon skeleton, not daring to overstep by even the slightest fraction.

Su Ming gazed at the dragon skeleton with no trace of fear in the depths of his eyes, leaving only intense ecstasy and palpitation.

He could clearly perceive that under the continuous infiltration of this ancient draconic might, his Jiuyou Divine Domain was undergoing an unprecedented essential transformation.

The barriers of the divine domain were becoming increasingly dense and solid, and the Netherworld laws were constantly improving and sublimating. Within the originally pure and chilly yin qi, a wisp of overbearing ancient draconic charm quietly integrated.

Ordinary dragon skeletons only retained thin draconic aura, at most nourishing the physical body and refining spiritual power.

Yet this one could actually elevate a deity's divine domain and reshape the laws and dao charms, having long transcended the scope of all known dragon remains in the world.

With his shock difficult to calm, Su Ming lifted his foot and stepped forward slowly.

This place was his divine domain, and as the master of the divine domain, he was completely exempt from all suppression of draconic might.

In just a few breaths, he walked up to the mountain-sized dragon skeleton and raised his hand to gently touch the cold, hard dragon remains covered with the traces of time.

In a split second!

Extreme darkness suddenly devoured all vision, the heaven and earth fell into dead silence, the five senses were completely lost, and the surrounding spacetime seemed to be instantly frozen, crushed, and stripped away.

The next instant, a supreme dragon roar that pierced through eternity, overbearing, desolate, and looking down on the heavens, exploded fiercely in the depths of Su Ming's soul, shaking his divine soul violently!

"My name is Deathwing, the World-Breaker of destiny, the terminator of all things!"

Unstoppable!

Irresistible!

"I am the Cataclysm!"

The rolling sound waves crushed the dust of the years, crossing the ancient spacetime, and forcibly dragging Su Ming's consciousness into a fragmented and magnificent ancient illusion!

Within the illusion, the firmament shattered, the sea of clouds overturned, the earth was devastated, mountains and rivers collapsed, and rivers and seas inverted, unfolding a magnificent picture of doomsday catastrophe before his eyes.

At the peak of the firmament, a terrifying black dragon that blotted out the sky spanned across the heavens.

Pitch-black, heavy essence armor covered its entire body.

Surging between the gaps of the armor were boiling flames of destruction and pitch-black dark mist.

Its tattered dragon wings spread out, shielding the entire heaven and earth.

Every inch of texture on its dragon body flowed with the purest and most violent laws of destruction.

Merely standing quietly in the void caused the entire world to tremble violently, with the laws wailing endlessly.

Opposite the black dragon, four ancient giant dragons whose sizes were comparable to a fraction of it confronted it across the air.

Looking at these few whose auras were as vast as the sea, the aura that Su Ming sensed from Principal Ning Zhengqi, a high-level true god, was like a firefly compared to the bright moon when compared to them.

Below, thousands of deities and elite retainers were densely arrayed. With brilliant divine light and laws filling the sky, it seemed overwhelmingly mighty, yet the depths of everyone's eyes were filled with extreme panic and dread.

Facing the powerful beings of the heavens all alone, the black dragon's eyes were cold and indifferent, looking down upon all directions with supreme arrogance that surpassed all races and disdained order.

The glory of the gods, the order of heaven and earth, and all living beings were all nothing more than ants and dust in its eyes.

"Wherever the sun and moon shine, and wherever mountains and rivers reach, none can escape the fate of overturning and eternally falling into the boundless abyss!"

The low dragon roar shook the illusion once more, and the raging power of destruction frantically tore apart the sacred laws of the heavens, forcing countless deities to retreat repeatedly in utter disarray.

"Beneath my shadow, heaven and earth shall cease to exist, living creatures shall be utterly extinguished, and all things shall return to ashes!"

"I am—Deathwing Neltharion!"

Su Ming floated in the corner of the illusion, his mind shaken violently and his blood nearly freezing.

He clearly perceived that any single one of the thousands of deities confronting it below had cultivation no weaker than a true god.

As for the four ancient giant dragons facing off, Su Ming could not be certain, but they were definitely above true gods.

Yet such a group of top powerhouses of the heavens were left with only fear and cowering before this black dragon.

"Neltharion..."

Su Ming softly murmured this name.

The moment his words fell, the world-destroying black dragon within the illusion suddenly lowered its cold dragon eyes!

That glance pierced through shattered spacetime, crossed the ages of eternity, and accurately locked onto Su Ming!

In a flash, Su Ming's soul trembled violently, and his whole body grew cold, as if he were placed in the abyss of annihilation where life and death hung by a thread.

The extreme pressure of death enveloped his entire body, causing his soul to nearly shatter.

Fortunately, in the next second, the entire illusion shattered with a boom and vanished into thin air.

Su Ming's palm was still pressed against the cold dragon skeleton, and his consciousness returned to the Jiuyou Divine Domain.

"Terrifying..."

He whispered with lingering fear, his back already soaked in cold sweat.

That glance through the ages from the black dragon allowed him to truly experience what the power of world destruction meant, and he had genuinely walked along the edge of life and death just now.

Such a supreme existence capable of sweeping across the heavens ultimately still could not escape the destiny of falling.

Exactly what kind of terrifying opponent could cut it down?

What was even more baffling was why the remains of such an ancient fierce god were hidden within a Hanging Secret Realm for newborn deity trials?

Countless clouds of doubt lingered in his heart, leaving him unable to find an answer no matter how much he thought about it.

At this very moment, the dragon skeleton beneath his palm trembled slightly, and a wisp of extremely pure world-destroying black aura suddenly flew out breaking the air, like a meteor falling to the ground, accurately landing inside the demonic dragon corpse within the soul fusion pool!

"This is?!"

Su Ming's pupils suddenly contracted, his face full of astonishment.

Receiving the infusion of this wisp of world-destroying black aura, the demonic dragon corpse, which had previously been smelting slowly, suddenly became restless, frantically devouring all the corpse remains floating up and down in the pool.

The smelting speed surged by more than a hundred times!

Following this trend, all the corpses accumulated in the soul fusion pool would be completely devoured within less than three quarters of an hour.

Su Ming instantly reacted and decisively commanded, "Wawan, A-Da, immediately gather all the corpses from this battle and bring them all into Jiuyou!"

Opportunities must not be missed; this was a heaven-sent fortune for the demonic dragon's transformation and must never be lost!

Massive amounts of orc retainer corpses were continuously sent into the soul fusion pool, all of which were devoured and absorbed by the demonic dragon corpse.

As the corpses were continuously smelted, the contour of the demonic dragon's body and its aura patterns quietly transformed, coming closer and closer to the form of the world-destroying black dragon Neltharion within the illusion.

Su Ming watched with his heart skipping beats, harboring both extreme anticipation and deep worry.

By the time all the corpses were completely exhausted, the demonic dragon corpse still did not stop devouring, turning instead to frantically draw upon the origin pool water of the soul fusion pool.

The pool water receded and dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Su Ming's eyelids twitched wildly, his face full of heartache as he thought, "Stop sucking! If this goes on, my soul fusion pool is going to be completely ruined!"

This soul fusion pool was built by him at a heavy price.

It was the foundation for him to cultivate retainers and smelt the undead. If it were scrapped just like that, it would be an absolute and extreme loss!

However, even if Su Ming wanted to give up now, it was too late.

Su Ming gritted his teeth cruelly and commanded in a deep voice, "A-Da! Throw all the resources and divine crystals harvested this time entirely into the soul fusion pool! I want to see just where its limit is!"

"As you command, Divine Master!"

A-Da responded and moved, continuously throwing massive amounts of secret realm spiritual materials and the 300,000 divine crystals just obtained into the pool, transforming them into pure energy that was frantically devoured by the demonic dragon corpse.

After a long period of absorption, the restless demonic dragon corpse finally slowly stopped its movements and completely returned to peace.

Su Ming let out a long breath of foul air, looking at the devastated divine domain before him, almost on the verge of tears.

All resources were swept clean, the 300,000 divine crystals were nearly exhausted, and the pool water of the soul fusion pool had completely dried up, leaving only a shallow layer of residual liquid at the bottom of the pool.

For the transformation of this demonic dragon, he had practically bankrupted himself!

Just as Su Ming's thoughts were complicated, a vast, overbearing dragon roar carrying a faint world-destroying might suddenly resounded throughout the entire Jiuyou Divine Domain!

"Roar——!!"
