Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent

Chapter 265: Complete Annihilation

Chapter 265: Complete Annihilation

Revolve!

As soon as Li Pin finished speaking, Gao Feng felt the terrifying force pushing him to his limits and threatening to break his bones suddenly begin to move. At the same time, another powerful force yanked him back.

It felt as if half of his body was tied to the ground while the other half was anchored to a high-speed train hurtling past. If that train whizzed by, half of him would be ripped apart at hundreds of kilometers per hour....

"No... stop... stop it!" Gao Feng shouted with great difficulty.

"No! I prefer your earlier defiance!"

Li Pin returned Gao Feng's exact words back to him.

"I...."

Gao Feng's eyes turned bloodshot as his entire body began to distort at an alarming speed. The sound of shattering bones echoed through every corner of him.

At that moment, the other three members of Gao Feng's team finally reacted.

"Stop... stop it...."

"Not good!"

"This isn't right! Quick, save him!"

"Do something! No matter what he's planning, stop him!"

Shouting in unison, they unleashed their power and charged at Li Pin with all their might, heedless of the vast difference in their strength.

Unfortunately... by the time they moved... it was too late.

Using his own Lifeform Force Field to restrain Gao Feng, Li Pin then thrust him into the Celestial Force Field he had already touched and began to integrate with.

The three members of Gao Feng's team, rushing to Gao Feng's aid, saw only Li Pin raise his hand and snap his fingers lightly.

Bang!

A mist of blood exploded outward.

In Gao Feng's final moments, he felt as though an invisible force had struck him before stretching and tearing him into shreds.

The remnants of his half-body splattered across the field, leaving a blood trail hundreds of meters long. The deep red mist of blood spread like a curtain, stretching and diluting as it splattered across the ground like rain.

The scene was utterly terrifying and eerie, striking fear into the hearts of all who witnessed it. The three men rushing forward froze in place, their eyes filled with horror and disbelief.

After a few seconds, Bullet couldn't help but gulp. "What... kind of power is this?!"

Another Astral Cultivator reacted more straightforwardly.

Gao Feng, their leader and a High-Class Astral Cultivator, was dead.

Now that Gao Feng was dead, only he—an Ordinary Astral Cultivator—and two Martial Saints were left. To top it off, these two were both weaker than him.

"Run!"

The Astral Cultivator didn't hesitate for even a moment and turned around, unleashing his full speed and bolting away in a moment of desperation.

The other two Martial Saints lagged slightly behind.

Just as they were about to take off, a powerful pressure, reminiscent of the terrifying killing intent they had faced from Top-Tier Astral Cultivators, enveloped them.

In an instant, the two Martial Saints felt as if they had plunged into an ice cave.

They could distinctly sense the blood across their body slowly freezing, the coldness and stiffness rapidly spreading up their spines, making them feel as if they had lost all control over their bodies.

At that moment, their bodies no longer belonged to them. The Lifeform Force Field had suppressed their blood flow completely, halting its movement.

Chi Yang trembled, struggling to speak. "Martial Saint Li... spare... spare me..."

However, at that moment, both Martial Saints felt a violent jolt, as if a speeding vehicle had struck them, making them spin wildly. Before they hit the ground, an unprecedented weakness washed over them. Upon impact, this feeling peaked, rendering them incapable of even keeping their eyes open.

Eventually... they had no choice but to let their eyelids droop, their vision descending into darkness.

"You're fast," Li Pin said to the Astral Cultivator who had already fled over a hundred meters away.

Li Pin sensed around, as if trying to grasp and attempt a particular concept.

Before long... he caught it.

"It should be like this."

He crouched slightly, then his right leg snapped straight, launching him upwards.

The moment he leaped, his figure moved at an unnatural speed, as though an invisible force was pulling him, defying the laws of physics.

In a single bound, he traversed several dozen meters.

With a few more leaps, he directly appeared behind the fleeing Astral Cultivator.

The Astral Cultivator heard the air whistle behind him. Normally proud and dismissive of martial artists, he now found himself enveloped in its terrifying shadow.

The overwhelming pressure nearly choked him.

"How... can you be... so fast...?"

He clearly felt he still had the strength to fight. His physique, tempered by astral energy, was even superior to Li Pin’s.

Yet, for some unknown reason, his thoughts were sluggish and his heart was gripped by terror, leaving him utterly unable to muster the slightest courage to face him.

The man didn't know this, but the Lifeform Force Field was the reason behind this seemingly unshakable fear. While the Astral Cultivator's qi and blood were higher than Li Pin's, his mental spirit barely reached thirty-five. Qi and blood wasn't the only factor that affected the suppression and interference from the Lifeform Force Field.

The Astral Cultivator's sluggish thinking, inner terror, and complete lack of fighting spirit were all negative effects that arose from being fully spiritually suppressed.

"Stop! You can't kill me! If you do, the Divine Adoration Sect will never let you go. We have the Detection Treasure Necklace made of divine relics. No matter where you hide, we will find you...!"

Gripped by this indescribable fear and pressure, the Astral Cultivator could only invoke the power of his backers to bolster his courage.

Unfortunately, his words had no effect on Li Pin.

Li Pin had already killed almost everyone in Gao Feng's team. Sparing or killing one more didn't matter.

"No! Monster! What kind of monster are you!"

Feeling the unyielding killing intent behind him, the Astral Cultivator shouted desperately, trying to suppress his fear by inciting madness, hoping it would reignite his will to fight.

Fueled by this madness, he unleashed his qi and blood, pouring everything into a final strike.

He knew he would lose his only chance to turn the tide if he didn't fight back now.

"Die!" roared the Astral Cultivator.

A powerful fist force exploded forth, compressing the air into a shockwave that surged forward like a cannonball, instantly creating a white shockwave that rippled outward.

This was Aura Force, condensed to the point of becoming almost tangible!

However, despite its power, the technique and precision of the punch were lacking. Any Core Force martial artist would shake their head upon seeing it.

Li Pin, arriving with lethal intent, shifted his body and formed a blade with his right hand, thrusting out from the side like a lightning bolt.

He tore through the residual Aura Force left from the Astral Cultivator's punch, his legs exploding with power as he cut in from the side.

Under the terrified and desperate gaze of the Astral Cultivator, Li Pin's palm sliced through the air like a divine weapon, landing a decisive blow on his neck.

Bang!

The force penetrated!

The Astral Cultivator's Adam's apple, throat, and cervical vertebrae shattered simultaneously.

The shockwave twisted his head, lifting his heavy body several meters into the air before crashing down hard onto the ground.

"Ugh..."

Lying on the ground, his eyes widened as he tried to speak. However the shattered vertebrae had severed the connection between his head and body, compounded by the various injuries to his throat, made it so that only incomprehensible sounds escaped from his mouth. This lasted for only a few seconds before his body grew cold.

Soon after, all signs of life on him vanished.

Throughout this entire process, Li Pin never looked back at him. Instead, he focused inward, sensing the changes in his own body.

At some point, his skin had taken on a reddish hue, like blood.

Concentrating, he used his "Clairvoyance" talent to examine himself.

Through it, he could clearly "see" extensive damage within his body. From organs and bones to meridians and blood vessels, countless areas showed signs of compression and rupture.

Each wound was tiny, but they added up, making him appear as though he was drenched in blood. Even bleeding from the seven orifices didn't capture the full extent of it.

"When tying a person to a post and pulling with a train... even the post will bear the strain..."

It became clear to Li Pin. Using the Lifeform Force Field to disrupt the Celestial Force Field....

Top-Tier Astral Cultivators possessed powerful physiques. When necessary, they could even turn their bodies into pure energy. He, however, was of flesh and blood, a mortal body!

The burden required to harness the Celestial Force was immense!

If it had been anyone else, just one instance of using the Celestial Force Field would cripple them under the strain of the dual forces.

Using the Lifeform Force Field to leverage the Celestial Force Field? That's like trying to pry a truck with a wooden stick.

He quickly activated his self-healing ability. The primordial qi from his Innate Qi-Refining Technique rapidly spread through every corner of his body, soothing the pain as his body groaned under the strain.

"The Celestial Force Field...."

Li Pin recalled the power he had unleashed to kill Gao Feng just moments ago.

That was the power drawn from the Lifeform Force Field to activate the Celestial Force within the Celestial Force Field.

Half a month ago, by guiding the power of the Primordial Electric Crystal through the Lifeform Force Field, he had "seen" how the Celestial Force Field operated for the first time. He had been pursuing, comprehending, and integrating this power ever since.

Now it seemed that, although the Celestial Force he could harness was far less than a ten-thousandth of the vast planet beneath his feet, its power was...

"Nearly limitless as of now..."

Li Pin could clearly tell that shredding a High-Class Astral Cultivator was nowhere near the Celestial Force Field's limit.

Top-Tier, Master Astral Cultivators, or even Legends... none of them could withstand the power of an entire planet.

The only thing currently restricting Li Pin from fully utilizing the Celestial Force Field was himself. He was too weak. Just operating the Celestial Force Field ever so slightly put unbearable strain on his body.

If his qi and blood could reach the level of a Top-Tier Astral Cultivator... which was about four to five hundred points... forget Master Astra Cultivators, he could even tear apart Legends!

"I must strengthen myself!"
