200: One finger and the saintess is instantly killed; everyone is stunned.
"Break."
Su Jue softly uttered a single word.
His finger lightly touched the edge of that thousand-meter-long golden sword.
There was no world-shaking roar.
Nor was there a world-ending energy explosion.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Under the gazes of everyone, which were horrified to the extreme.
That giant sword, 'Judgment of Holy Light,' which was enough to sever stars, began to crumble inch by inch starting from the tip.
Like a sand sculpture weathered by the wind, it turned into golden specks of light filling the sky and dissipated into the air.
Immediately following that.
It was the 'Great Saintess of Light Realm' that the Radiant Saintess was so proud of.
This Saint Realm domain, composed of pure Radiant Saintess Laws, was like shattered glass the moment it touched that wisp of gray airflow.
"Crack!"
A crisp cracking sound echoed through the heavens and earth.
A tiny crack appeared on the golden domain barrier.
Then, the cracks spread frantically like a spiderweb!
Boom!
The entire 'Great Saintess of Light Realm' collapsed and shattered!
"Pfft!"
With her domain broken, the Radiant Saintess suffered a heavy blow and spat out a large mouthful of golden Holy Blood on the spot.
Her body fell powerlessly from mid-air like a kite with a broken string.
Those proud golden eyes were filled with endless horror and disbelief.
"How... how is this possible..."
"My domain... my divine ability..."
"Was actually... broken... by a single finger?"
Su Jue withdrew his finger and curled his lip.
"I told you."
"Too weak."
His figure flickered, and he instantly appeared before the falling Radiant Saintess, grabbing her by the neck.
He lifted her up in mid-air.
He just floated there, wearing his ridiculous animal onesie pajamas.
And in his hand was the top-ranked Core Disciple of the temple, the high and mighty Radiant Saintess.
This scene was filled with an intense visual impact.
It caused the brains of all the watching disciples below the stage to completely shut down.
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Across the entire challenge platform square, thousands of geniuses were speechless.
One by one, they were like statues under a freezing spell, maintaining various horrified expressions, motionless.
Their worldview was, at this moment, completely overturned and then trampled to pieces by Su Jue in the most unreasonable way possible.
The Saint Realm... lost?
Instantly defeated by a Divine Ability Realm Infant... with one finger?
This... this was no longer just absurd.
This was a myth!
It was the most ridiculous and most shocking myth, worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Cosmic Temple!
Inside the Council of Elders meeting room.
Elder Jin Lie and several other Peak Great Saint Realm elders all stood up from their seats.
They stared fixedly at the surveillance screen, their expressions more vivid than if they had seen a ghost.
"Broken... it's broken?"
"With one finger... he broke the 'Great Saintess of Light Realm'?!"
"What kind of power is that?! That wisp of gray airflow... I actually can't analyze it at all!"
"Chaos... it's the aura of Chaos! The source power that reigns above all laws!"
Elder Jin Lie's voice was trembling.
As a Peak Great Saint Realm existence, he had seen countless laws.
But a source power as pure, overbearing, and unreasonable as the one Su Jue just used was something even he was seeing for the first time!
"This kid... what exactly is his background?!"
"A Dragon Clan Prince? No... even a pure-blooded Archaic Dragon Clan member could absolutely never master this kind of power in the Divine Ability Realm!"
"A monster... he's a complete and utter monster!"
The gaze with which the elders looked at Su Jue had already shifted from initial appreciation and curiosity to deep wariness and a hint of... fear.
On the challenge platform.
The Radiant Saintess, held by the neck by Su Jue, finally recovered from her extreme shock.
She could feel a cold, overbearing power that had already invaded her body, sealing all of her holy power.
Currently, she was no different from an ordinary person.
As long as the opponent applied even a little force, he could easily crush her neck.
The shadow of Death loomed over her as never before.
"You..."
She spoke with difficulty, her voice raspy.
"Who... are you?"
Su Jue tilted his head and said in a childish voice.
"Didn't I already say?"
"My name is Su Jue."
"Just a baby."
Radiant Saintess: "..."
She wanted to spit blood.
Even at a time like this, you're still putting on an act!
Su Jue looked at her humiliated and unwilling expression and curled his lip.
"Do you submit?"
He asked.
The Radiant Saintess bit her lip hard and didn't speak.
Asking her to bow her head and admit defeat to an Infant?
It was more painful than killing her!
"Hmm?"
The strength in Su Jue's hand increased slightly.
"Crack."
The Radiant Saintess clearly heard a slight sound from her neck bone.
Her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
She could feel that the other party's patience was disappearing.
If she didn't answer, he really would kill her!
In the face of absolute strength and the threat of Death.
All pride and all dignity seemed so pale and powerless.
Finally.
The Radiant Saintess closed her eyes, and two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Using all her strength, she squeezed out a single word through her teeth.
"...Submit."
This one word seemed to drain all the strength from her body.
It also completely shattered her pride as the number one genius of the temple.
Hearing this, Su Jue nodded in satisfaction.
"Wouldn't it have been better to do this sooner?"
He tossed her aside casually, like throwing away trash, landing the Radiant Saintess on the ground.
Then he clapped his hands and looked toward the audience.
"Alright, the bet is over."
"I won."
"Time to distribute the money."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Capybara skillfully pulled up the public account interface.
On it, the huge sum of two hundred billion federation coin was emitting an alluring glow.
With a thought from Su Jue.
This two hundred billion vanished instantly.
It was transferred by him into his own ghost account.
Having done all this, Su Jue's gaze swept over the disciples below who had previously bet on him to win.
Those disciples were all flushed with excitement, their breathing rapid, staring fixedly at Su Jue with eyes full of fanaticism and anticipation.
They had bet correctly!
They had really bet correctly!
One to three odds!
"Don't worry, one by one."
Su Jue had Capybara pull up the betting records.
"First one, Wang Ermazi, bet one hundred thousand, payout three hundred thousand, transfer."
"Second one, Li Goudan, bet five hundred thousand, payout one point five million, transfer."
"Third one..."
As Su Jue read out the names one by one, large sums of money were precisely transferred into those disciples' accounts.
The disciples who received the money were first stunned, then erupted into world-shaking cheers!
"Holy crap! It actually arrived!"
"Three hundred thousand! I'm rich!!"
"One point five million! Hahahaha! Lord Su Jue is amazing!!!"
