Chapter 451 – One Punch Flattens Mountains and Seas!

At the edge of the continental plate, the Substitute Paper Figure had gathered an immense amount of Earthquake energy for Mu Lin.

And now, as this vast Earthquake energy condensed into a single entity, Mu Lin—he felt his body brimming with power!

Unrivaled power!

Moreover, the power within Mu Lin was not only terrifyingly abundant but also imbued with an extremely violent law of vibration.

At this moment, Mu Lin had a feeling that a casual punch or kick from him could cause mountains to collapse and the earth to overturn.

However, soon enough, Mu Lin began to experience the agony Luo Chen had once endured… The power of the Earthquake calamity was boundless, but Mu Lin—his capacity to endure had its limits.

And since this power was not cultivated through his own arduous training, Mu Lin could not perfectly control the Earthquake force.

On the battlefield, the air and earth around Mu Lin trembled and distorted—a manifestation of his inability to perfectly wield this power.

Fortunately, compared to Luo Chen, Mu Lin possessed many advantages.

First was the Central Wuji Sha, whose unyielding and unchanging nature made it inherently suitable as a foundation to bear other forces.

And when Mu Lin had refined as many as three hundred and sixty-five strands of Baleful Qi, his endurance surpassed Luo Chen’s by a hundredfold.

Second were Fixation and the Avici Chains… The violent power churned within Mu Lin’s body, akin to a nuclear bomb detonating inside him.

This ferocious force sought to destroy everything.

But Mu Lin used Fixation and the Avici Chains to forcibly seal this power within his own body.

Although this placed immense pressure on Mu Lin, his body ultimately did not shatter completely.

Then came the Vow Power Heart Flame.

External forces were indeed extremely difficult to control, especially a force as violent as Earthquake.

But Mu Lin’s Vow Power Heart Flame was innately adept at commanding and dominating all things.

“I am the Calamity Lord—Earthquake power, submit to me!”

With an overbearing divine will, Mu Lin forcibly calmed the Earthquake’s fluctuations within his body.

And finally, there was the damage transfer of the Substitute Paper Figure.

Even after multiple layers of mitigation, the power within Mu Lin’s body remained extremely violent, exerting tremendous pressure on his Paper Figure form.

“Crack…”

It was clear to see cracks continuously appearing on the Paper Figure’s body.

Under normal circumstances, Mu Lin would be unable to act—the moment he attempted to move, that violent force would tear his Paper Figure body into shreds.

However, the damage transfer ability allowed Mu Lin to shift the injuries sustained by the Paper Substitute on the battlefield to other Paper Figures.

In the assembly-line workshop, Mu Lin’s Paper Figure bodies were constantly torn apart and shattered by a violent force.

Yet, their destruction left the Paper Figure on the battlefield unscathed, endowed instead with an irresistible, immeasurable might.

And now, having fully accumulated his power, Mu Lin raised his head and flashed a ferocious grin toward the Holy Son of the Night Demon Clan.

“A weak race has no right to survive on this land… That’s what you said. But remember—you are the challengers!”

“Boom!”

As his words fell, Mu Lin clenched his right hand into a fist—this simple action alone unleashed an unrivaled, violent force that caused the air around him to ripple like water.

“Hum!”

The next moment, as Mu Lin bent his right arm like a bow, slowly drawing it back and gathering strength.

With this movement, everyone on the battlefield felt as though all things in heaven and earth, even their own minds and spirits, were converging toward Mu Lin.

That was gravity… immense mass gives rise to gravity, attracting everything around it.

And now, though Mu Lin’s body was small, the vast power gathered within him made his “mass” extraordinarily high.

Such immense mass meant that every move Mu Lin made could influence all things in heaven and earth.

At this moment, all things bowing and converging toward Mu Lin was the outward manifestation of his extreme “mass.”

And this terrifying presence of his made Ye Huang, who stood on the battlefield like a god or demon, feel a trace of panic for the first time.

‘That punch of his… I cannot block it… No, I can block it. I absolutely can block it!’

Though he sensed Mu Lin’s terror, Ye Huang could not retreat now—nor could he afford to.

The Night Demon Clan were, after all, outsiders—wanderers who had drifted in the void for a long time. As such, relying solely on their own strength, they could not contend with humanity.

Thus, they needed to gather the power of other demonic monsters and evil spirits to challenge the Human Race.

However, Mu Lin and his companions’ swift actions, along with Mu Lin’s stirring of chaos, had caused the Night Demon Clan’s efforts to unite with other races to fail.

In the end, only their vassal races were willing to act alongside the Night Demon Clan.

But the Night Demon Clan knew all too well that these vassal races were also untrustworthy.

“Those who are not of our kind must have different hearts.” If they showed signs of defeat, these vassal races would flee or even defect to the Human Race, turning their blades against them.

Thus, Ye Huang had to display his own formidable strength to bolster the morale of the vassal races.

Moreover, they even harbored the hope that after repelling the human offensive, other Foreign Races would follow suit and join the attack.

—Getting numerous Foreign Races to unite and overcome adversity together was difficult, but they were more than willing to contribute when the battle was going smoothly.

All these reasons made it imperative that the Night Demon Clan’s first battle not end in defeat.

And as the most outstanding Prodigy of the Night Demon Clan, Ye Huang also believed he would not lose.

“We are the challengers? Human, you are too arrogant!”

“I will make you understand that mere strength cannot overcome our noble Night Demon Clan!”

“Dark Veil, shroud everything!”

“Hum!”

With Ye Huang’s roar, the god-like, demon-like figure spread its wings.

“…”

The greatest sound is silent; the greatest form is formless!

The wildly expanding wings enveloped everything in endless darkness.

From within the darkness, Mu Lin could sense silence, nothingness… and various other abilities.

As someone who also wielded some control over the power of darkness, Mu Lin knew full well that the Night Demon Clan’s darkness was no simple matter.

Beyond obscuring vision, it could silence many special powers or render them utterly void.

For instance, the flames, Thunder, or illumination spells cast by humans were silently swallowed by the darkness.

This was one pole of the world, the dark aspect of Yin—a force of immense terror.

In the past, facing such power, Mu Lin would have used the Vow Power Heart Flame, combined with the innate abilities of his Candle Dragon form, to contend with his opponent for dominance over the darkness.

But now, Mu Lin did not do so. An invincible power surged within his body, giving him the feeling that he could shatter everything with sheer strength.

He thought this, and he acted accordingly.

  ”Useless!”

“Before absolute power, all spells are nothing but flashy tricks!”

“With this punch, I will kill you!”

“Boom!”

Before the words even finished, Mu Lin unleashed a punch he had gathered to its utmost limit, striking fiercely forward.

This punch was not aimed at the Night Demon’s body—his ultimate power made aiming unnecessary.

He struck the Void, the air before him.

But that was already enough.

“…”

As Mu Lin threw this punch, the world fell silent for an instant.

Everyone and every monster within a hundred-mile radius, centered on Mu Lin, felt their hearts tighten and their bodies grow cold… a sudden sense of impending doom arose in their hearts!

This feeling was right.

A calamity akin to a natural disaster had indeed descended upon this land.

“Rumble!”

After the silence, the violent power within Mu Lin’s fist erupted instantly.

Under that terrifying force, the air… no, it should be said the space, rippled like water, creating visible waves.

The soil on the ground, swept by the force of Mu Lin’s punch, surged like a tidal wave, stirring up endless turbulence and rising hundreds of meters high.

“Rumble!”

If the aftershocks were this terrifying, the Night Demon Clan facing Mu Lin’s punch head-on suffered even more miserably.

They felt an unstoppable, immense force, like mountains or planets, sweeping across their bodies in an instant.

That force, as it passed over them, crushed their skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs…

“Pop, pop, pop…”

Like bursting balloons, the powerful Night Demon Clan was effortlessly crushed by Mu Lin’s power.

After crushing them, this force continued to surge forward without the slightest hindrance.

“Rumble!”

Under this violent force, everything in its path seemed so fragile and laughable.

The earth was torn apart, mountains and rocks shattered into fragments, and even the incredibly strong bodies of demonic monsters were effortlessly crushed by this power.

Of course, under such immense power, there were those who could withstand it, if only slightly.

This was naturally Ye Huang.

It must be said that as the Holy Son of the Night Demon Clan, Ye Huang indeed possessed some ability.

Flapping his wings, he retreated at extreme speed while simultaneously releasing the dark night energy within his body in front of him… intending to use space and endless nothingness to buffer Mu Lin’s unstoppable force.

But—it was useless.

The power of the earthquake was not merely about raw strength.

Knowledge from his past life also made Mu Lin aware that within the power of an earthquake lay vibrations.

The ripples of vibration allowed the earthquake’s power to travel extremely far.

The dark night’s power of nothingness could not neutralize the transmission of these shockwaves.

“Hum!”

Mu Lin, having thrown his punch, clearly saw a shockwave ripple rapidly pass through the darkness and sweep toward Ye Huang.

“Thud!”

Under that ferocious force, Ye Huang’s god-like, demonic body, towering like a mountain, was tossed aside as easily as a ragdoll.

Even in mid-air, it spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

At the same time, his bones, flesh, and internal organs were all struck by this violent force, developing cracks.

“Heal, heal for me!”

His body was on the verge of completely shattering, plunging Ye Huang into utter terror.

In his extreme fear, he roared, wanting his body to heal. Simultaneously, he burned his blood, causing the demonic patterns around him to erupt with light at all costs.

This was his body’s damage reduction ability; he wanted to use his innate talent to mitigate the impact of that violent force.

Unfortunately, it was still useless.

The nature of vibration not only allowed force to propagate over great distances but, through vibration and resonance, was particularly adept at destroying things from within.

Just like a small story from a previous life about a bridge collapse: when soldiers marched past a bridge, their synchronized steps caused the bridge to suddenly shake violently and ultimately break and collapse.

The soldiers’ marching alone could make a sturdy bridge collapse—this was the power of strong resonance.

Now, when Mu Lin’s force swept through, the intense resonance was thousands upon thousands of times greater than that of soldiers marching.

“Boom!”

This vibrational force transmitted into the Night Demon’s body, directly shattering his cells from within, even the dark night energy existing within him.

“Bang!”

Thus, under the powerful vibration and resonance, Ye Huang’s flying body could no longer withstand this violent force—it… directly exploded into pieces.

With a single punch, Mu Lin killed Ye Huang!

And before him, the thousands of Night Demon soldiers, along with other vassal races, had long been crushed by this overwhelmingly violent force, their bones shattered.

The death of thousands of demonic monsters was still not the end of this punch.

“Rumble!”

Relying on vibration, Mu Lin’s unparalleled punching force surged forward.

That force pushed everything aside, shattering everything in its path.

In the end, Mu Lin’s punching force affected an area dozens of miles ahead.

Within this range—whether it was mountains, rocks, giant trees, or settlements of Foreign Races, even mountains that had existed for thousands of years—they were all pushed aside by Mu Lin’s unparalleled might and powerful resonance.

Even the white clouds in the sky were swept away by Mu Lin’s Earthquake force.

With a single punch, Mu Lin pushed everything aside, making mountains and seas—all level!
