88: Annihilation! Plundering the Holy Land's Fortune

"No!!!"

Looking at that sky-obscuring giant foot that was slowly pressing down with world-ending Divine Might, the Late Nascent Soul Stage Grand Elder let out the final roar of his life, filled with endless fear and despair.

He wanted to flee, but under that supreme Divine Might capable of imprisoning heaven and earth, his body and his Nascent Soul could not move an inch.

He wanted to resist, but his proud Late Nascent Soul Stage cultivation was as insignificant as a grain of dust before that giant foot.

He could only watch helplessly as the giant foot got closer and closer, closer and closer... "BOOM—"

There was no suspense.

This Grand Elder, who held a revered status in the Holy Land, along with the dozens of Golden Core and Nascent Soul Elders behind him, were like watermelons struck by a giant hammer the moment that giant foot landed. Before they could even groan, they turned into a mist of blood that filled the sky.

And this was merely the beginning.

The sky-obscuring giant foot continued downward, suppressing everything!

Rumble!

A deafening sound, like the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting, resounded through the entire Central Province!

The Central Province Sacred Land, an immortal sect gate stretching millions of miles and managed by countless generations for hundreds of thousands of years, began to crack and crumble inch by inch under this single foot!

Majestic peaks that towered into the clouds collapsed with a crash!

Splendid and magnificent palaces were instantly turned to powder!

The terrestrial Spiritual Vein known as the "Nine Dragons Guarding the Center," hailed as the number one Spiritual Vein in the Central Province, let out a mournful cry as it was forcibly snapped and annihilated from the earth by this foot!

Countless spirit fields, herb gardens, mineral veins... countless Holy Land Disciples, Elders, and deacons... all were reduced to nothingness under this foot!

From this day forward, the Central Province Sacred Land would no longer exist in the world!

One foot, trampling a Holy Land into extinction!

When all the dust settled, the original immortal blessed land had turned into a bottomless, unimaginably huge, and terrifying footprint!

Inside the footprint, there was dead silence, without a trace of life left.

Only a figure in green robes quietly floated above the giant pit, his expression indifferent, as if he had merely stepped on a nest of ants.

"Ding! Detected that the Host has annihilated a top-tier Luck-bearing power—Central Province Sacred Land!"

"This power has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and its Luck foundation is extremely deep."

"Would you like to perform Luck Plunder on it?"

The System's prompt sounded in Chu He's mind at the right time.

"Plunder!"

Chu He gave the command without hesitation.

This was one of the primary purposes of his trip.

"Command confirmed! Luck Plunder System activated!"

"Plundering the remaining Luck of the Central Province Sacred Land... Plunder ratio 10%... 30%... 70%... 100%!"

"Plunder successful!"

Boom!

In the next moment, an indescribably thick golden torrent of Luck, which only Chu He could see, soared into the sky from the depths of the giant footprint below. Like an awakening ancient golden dragon, it roared and frantically surged into Chu He's body!

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully plundering all the Luck of the Central Province Sacred Land, obtaining 15,000 family fortune value points!】

Fifteen thousand points!

When Chu He saw this number, even his breathing hitched for a moment.

As expected of a Holy Land with a Legacy of hundreds of thousands of years; this Luck foundation is indeed profound!

It was several times more than the Great Yan Dynasty he had destroyed before!

【family fortune value: 9195 + 15000 = 24195 points!】

【Detected that the family fortune value has exceeded 20,000 points. The Destiny Golden Dragon has begun to evolve!】

Rumble!

Within Chu He's Sea of Consciousness, that Destiny Golden Dragon, which was already three hundred zhang long, let out a world-shaking dragon roar after receiving this surge of majestic Luck!

Its body began to grow frantically at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Four hundred zhang!

Five hundred zhang!

...Finally, it only slowly stopped after soaring to a full eight hundred zhang in size!

The evolved Destiny Golden Dragon's body was more solid, and mysterious purple patterns even began to appear on its golden scales. An even more noble and majestic Aura spread out.

【Ding! The Destiny Golden Dragon has successfully evolved! Current Rank: Rank 5!】

【Unlocked new ability: Luck Protection (Intermediate)!】

【Luck Protection (Intermediate): You can consume family fortune value to apply a Luck shield to a designated Family member. While the shield is active, the member will receive temporary Luck blessings of "Turning Bad Luck into Good" and "Finding Safety in Danger," and it can block one full-power strike from a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator.】

"Good stuff!"

Chu He's eyes lit up when he saw this new ability.

This is practically a life-saving trump card custom-made for his Family!

Although the consumption is surely not small, it can definitely save a life at a critical moment!

With this, he can feel more at ease when he goes out to "work hard" in the future.

【Ding! Detected that the Host's family fortune value exceeds 10,000 points and cultivation has reached the Spirit Transformation Realm. All conditions for opening the "Myriad Heavens Battlefield" module have been met!】

【The "Myriad Heavens Battlefield" module is officially open!】

【For the first opening, the Host is granted one free "Low-Level World" positioning opportunity. Use it immediately?】

"It's finally open!"

Chu He was delighted.

However, he did not choose to use it immediately.

Now was not the time.

The priority was to go home first and settle his wife and children.

Moreover, he also needed time to properly study this new function.

"Time to head back."

Chu He glanced at the giant footprint below, no longer feeling any attachment.

With a thought, he communicated with the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, and his figure disappeared again.

Not long after he left.

The earth-shattering anomaly that occurred in this area finally attracted the attention of other top-tier powers in the Central Province.

Streaks of Spirit Transformation Realm Divine Thought extended from all directions. When they "saw" the Central Province Sacred Land, which had turned into a giant footprint and been completely erased from the map, all Divine Thoughts fell into a deathly silence at that moment.

Immediately afterward, an unspeakable fear, like a plague, spread wildly in the hearts of all the Soul Transformation Ancestors who scouted this scene!

The Central Province Sacred Land... is gone?

Stepped on... and gone?!

This... how is this possible?!

Who on earth did this?!

For a time, all the top-tier powers in the entire Central Province were on edge, everyone fearing for their own safety!

An unprecedentedly massive storm was quietly brewing.

Meanwhile, the instigator of it all, Chu He, had already returned to the Black Wind Plain in the Northern Wilderness, hundreds of millions of miles away, through the spatial jump of the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda.

He didn't stop at all and stepped directly into the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda.
