Yu Zhibo had long been accustomed to having a large number of fervent fans.
After finishing his conversation with Yu Shuya's teammates, he turned his gaze towards the direction of Dragon Country and murmured softly, "Shuya, your maternal grandfather seems to be in some trouble. Father will go over first."
With that, his figure flickered and he vanished from his spot.
Yu Shuya stared blankly at the place where Yu Zhibo had disappeared, hiding a hint of reluctance in her eyes. She then smiled at her three teammates and said, "With my father's return, the predicament of Dragon Country will likely be alleviated soon, but we must continue to do what needs to be done. Let's go support other battlefronts!"
"We'll follow your lead, Xiaoya!"
"Alright!"
Her teammates responded in unison, their fighting spirit soaring. Yu Zhibo's appearance had greatly boosted their morale.
On the other side, above Dragon Country.
The Minotaur's frenzied laughter echoed throughout the heavens: "You are the weakest Dou-pupil I've ever seen. The ancient War Emperor Shi Yi could create a minor world with a single glance. You are far from him!"
Amidst his wild laughter, he unleashed a punch, instantly shattering the void and obliterating laws, transforming into an endless, chaotic storm that swept towards Wang Shouyi.
Affected by his attack, the ground outside Dragon Country's qi luck shield cracked open, spewing magma from beneath the earth. The molten rock spread for thousands of miles.
Wang Shouyi's expression was cold. He extended his slender right hand, and instantly, the shattered void around the Minotaur was reforged, forming an invisible cage that suppressed it.
Then, divine light erupted from Wang Shouyi's Dou-pupils, projecting two beams of light that pierced the Minotaur's forehead and chest.
"Heh, how interesting. Trying to burst me by creating a small world within my body? A naive thought!"
The Minotaur sneered. The wounds pierced by the light rapidly solidified. Its flesh writhed, squeezing the small world that Wang Shouyi had implanted within it into powder. Then, it grinned ferociously.
"With your talent, you're shackled by weak and ugly mortals. Since you care so much about these ants, about this planet, then I will destroy it and force you to fight me with all your might."
After speaking, the Minotaur revealed its true form: a colossal beast with a bull's head, a serpent's tail, black wings on its back, and its entire body covered in profound runes. It was tens of thousands of meters tall.
In ancient Chinese literature, the "Shan Hai Jing" - Volume Four, Eastern Classics IV, describes the Fei beast as follows: "Two hundred li further east is called Mount Tai, which abounds in gold, jade, and Zhen wood. There is a beast there, resembling a cow with a white head, a single eye, and a serpent's tail, named Fei. When it walks through water, the water dries up; when it walks through grass, the grass dies. Its appearance signifies a great plague in the world."
This Minotaur was not a pure-blooded Fei beast, but it was even stronger than the Fei beast described in the Shan Hai Jing, and it truly possessed the ability to spread great plagues.
Upon revealing its true form, its body was like a colossal peak. Countless emaciated human faces appeared on its surface, covered in sores and oozing pus and blood, resembling refugees who had died from plague.
Each of these human faces controlled plague power capable of destroying the life of an entire planet, forming a unique law. Merely by displaying them, the qi luck shield of Dragon Country dimmed.
Wang Shouyi's expression turned completely grim, and his Dou-pupils blazed with boundless killing intent.
"Since you seek death..."
As he spoke, he looked up at the endless starry sky, his gaze falling upon a figure in a grey Taoist robe deep within the boundless universe.
He intended to unleash his full power and signaled Wang Taixu to open the national ascension channel before the planet disintegrated.
Wang Taixu opened his eyes, revealing a pair of intelligent eyes, and then slowly shook his head.
Wang Shouyi was stunned. "Why..."
The next second, he understood why Wang Taixu had shaken his head.
He turned to look beside him, seeing a familiar profile. The jawline was well-defined, and the gaze was as pure as in the past.
"How did you..." Wang Shouyi looked at Yu Zhibo, who had appeared beside him at some unknown time, with disbelief.
Yu Zhibo smiled slightly, "Father-in-law, leave the rest to me."
He looked at the hybrid Fei beast in mid-air as if it were an ant. His eyes, which were originally pitch black, turned to a Rinnegan with swirling purple light.
"Who are you?" The hybrid Fei beast stared at Yu Zhibo with its bull-like eyes. It couldn't sense Yu Zhibo's pressure, but it keenly smelled a dangerous aura.
"You don't need to know. Earth is not a place where any stray cat or dog can cause trouble."
Yu Zhibo smiled faintly and snapped his fingers.
Boom!
The moment his thumb and middle finger separated, the hybrid Fei beast's tens of thousands of meters long body, along with the entire void, turned to dust. Then, endless void dimensional power surged forth, completely engulfing it.
"It seems that using the principle of Chibaku Tensei to manipulate void dimensional power is also quite effective," Yu Zhibo chuckled, pleased with the outcome.
This time, he hadn't used his S-class abilities. Instead, he utilized the power of the void dimensions, drawing in and merging the laws of various dimensional spaces around the hybrid Fei beast, and then detonating them. The effect was very gratifying.
"Zhibo, you..." Wang Shouyi came back to his senses, looking at Yu Zhibo with utter dread.
"You're the leader of the psychics. You don't need to deal with enemies of this level. Go sit in the back and watch my performance," Yu Zhibo said with a smile.
"You brat!" Wang Shouyi laughed and cursed, then said with immense relief, "You're very strong now!"
Yu Zhibo smiled and looked up at the sky, "This sky is too dark, I don't like it!"
With that, he threw a punch. The terrifying gale soared a million meters high, shattering the dark matter clouds that had replaced the atmosphere. Then, through creation ex nihilo, he reforged the vanished atmosphere.
Sunlight cascaded onto his handsome face, as if bestowing a layer of golden radiance.
Next, he brought his hands together: "Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
As the ninjutsu was released, countless towering trees erupted from the cracked earth, reconnecting the fractured land around Dragon Country and covering the lava. It also annihilated the fleeing Eternal Night beasts, turning them into nutrients.
Under his methods, the green coverage began to spread rapidly, soon transforming the entire Asian continent into a dense forest.
But this was still far from enough. He brought his hands together again: "Earth Style: Construction of Land!"
The essence of endless earth laws extended outwards. This time, Yu Zhibo covered the entire Earth with his spiritual power, causing the once-scarred planet to regain its pre-destruction volume. The submerged continents began to re-emerge from the sea.
"What kind of divine ability is this, to create something from nothing!" Wang Shouyi's pupils trembled violently.
————
In the Eastern Dark Grand Canyon, the massive rift almost reached the earth's core, but it was now rapidly healing. The dark matter within was also completely purified, as if time had reversed, returning to its pre-destruction state.
"Who is it?"
The ferocious beast Rongzhi, who was battling Wu Boyue and the Scarlet Squad members, was stunned and looked at the ground in disbelief.
This Rongzhi had nine fox heads, tiger claws, and nine tails behind it, appearing exceptionally terrifying. Each mouth could release a different elemental law, making it extremely powerful, overwhelming Wu Boyue and the Scarlet Hunt Squad members fighting it.
But at this moment, it was stunned because it couldn't sense who was restoring the rift in the ground below.
Within the Scarlet Hunt Squad, Yu Chengsong stood at the center of the forehead of a silver Susanoo, holding a Uchiha fan, also somewhat surprised.
Yu Chengsong was now eighteen years old, imposing and heroic, clad in a modern-style battle armor, like a god of war.
"Although I don't know why this change has occurred, it's a good thing, isn't it?" Wu Boyue still had that weathered appearance, but his eyes were as bright as stars. He pointed his long saber diagonally at the ground, his killing intent reaching the heavens.
"Grandpa Wu is right!" Yu Chengsong smiled nonchalantly and prepared to make a move.
Just then, the ground suddenly rumbled. A mountain, as if possessing life, rapidly wriggled and transformed into a giant over ten thousand meters tall, its eyes like lamps, emitting a captivating golden light.
Its face was identical to Yu Zhibo's.
