Chapter 462 – Above Heaven, Below Earth—Only I Am Supreme!

At this moment, the alien realm apostles faced not only Mu Lin, but also Him who wielded a portion of the authority of Heaven.

To behold Him was to behold the Azure Heaven—this sensation truly manifested in the hearts of the Celestial Master apostles from alien realms.

And they, too, genuinely felt the majesty of the Azure Heaven.

Now, it was difficult for them to mobilize the surrounding spiritual energy, and they were strongly suppressed by the world.

If they were merely Earth Immortals or at the Mortal Shedding stage, these demonic fiends would have no choice but to await death.

Being targeted by the Azure Heaven was like mortals facing earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions… In the face of such natural disasters, mortals and low-level cultivators were utterly powerless.

However, the enemies Mu Lin faced were no ordinary beings—they were Celestial Masters, and moreover, Celestial Masters and apostles who had traversed from the alien void.

Those capable of navigating the void all possessed one or two hidden trump cards.

Now, under the furious roar of the Night Demon leader, various impure forbidden powers were unleashed one after another.

What the Night Demon leader conjured was Ember Ashes.

“Hum!”

With its activation, endless ashes of burnt remnants drifted down from the sky like heavy snow.

When these forbidden powers fell upon the earth or living beings, they would rapidly transform everything around them into embers, spreading like a virus.

In the blink of an eye, this world was on the verge of becoming a gray, burnt-out realm.

What the Insect Apostle hurled forth was a divine abomination tainted by endless gluttony.

Born from the bodies of ancient gods and nurtured by the boundless resentment at their moment of death, divine abominations were inherently difficult to deal with.

When fused with the greed of endless gluttony, it became a forbidden beast that devoured everything.

If left to rampage unchecked within the world, it would not take long for the entire world to be consumed.

As for the Nightmare Lord, it released an illusory demonic monster from the deepest core of the Nightmare Realm.

That monster had eight heads, each one condensed with extreme negative emotions.

Its eight heads represented hatred, loathing, wrath, greed… all manner of negative emotions.

Possessing eight types of negative emotions, it could absorb all negative emotions within the world to grow—a monster that fed on emotions and human hearts.

Ember Ashes, the Gluttonous Divine Abomination, the Eight-Headed Evil Serpent… these three monsters were all forbidden demonic creatures that, if left unchecked, possessed the power to destroy the world.

“But your premise for destroying the world is that the world remains passive, allowing you to act freely.”

“However, the world possesses a spirit and instinctively gives rise to heroes or treasures to subdue such demonic monsters.”

“Now, your reckless actions have drawn the attention of the Heavenly Dao, and it has channeled even more power into this place.”

Under normal circumstances, a world sensing danger would give rise to a chosen one or certain treasures to balance the power of demonic monsters.

But now, Mu Lin was wielding the authority of Heaven, and the power invested by the Heavenly Dao instinctively flowed into Mu Lin’s body, making the power he controlled even stronger and more majestic.

“…The greater the world’s crisis, the stronger I become.”

Thinking this, Mu Lin felt no joy.

Strength was indeed a good thing, but the infusion of Heavenly Dao power was merely an illusory form of strength.

Once the crisis passed, the Heavenly Dao power would dissipate.

What made Mu Lin frown even more was that the massive infusion of Heavenly Dao power would dilute his essence.

If diluted excessively, his emotions would fade and grow indifferent, and he would be passively forced into Dao Fusion.

“I cannot allow myself to fall into such a state; I must end this quickly.”

With this thought, Mu Lin willed his mind, and the Emperor Lord’s Dharma Image behind him—the Lord of Mount Tai—began to stir.

Its arm slowly rose.

Soon, one of Mu Lin’s palms lifted high, a single finger pointing directly toward the Azure Heaven, while his other palm hung slightly downward, pointing toward the earth.

This was the mudra of the Buddha at the moment of enlightenment, signifying “Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one.”

For Mu Lin, making this gesture was a prelude to his realization that the world was utterly defiled and his desire to cleanse it.

“The world… is defiled!”

As Mu Lin sighed, a blazing point of light appeared above the finger pointing toward the heavens.

At first, it was but a tiny speck. Yet, in the blink of an eye, it expanded rapidly, undergoing a Giant Transformation, soon becoming as vast, magnificent, and scorching as the sun.

In a way, it truly was the sun.

This was the technique Mu Lin had used most frequently during this time—Calamity – Great Sun, also known as nuclear explosion.

But unlike his previous nuclear explosions, the one at Mu Lin’s fingertip was something humanity in the 21st century had dreamed of most.

—Controlled Nuclear Fusion.

Yes, the nuclear explosion erupting from Mu Lin’s finger pointing toward the heavens had its power restrained.

By confining the high-temperature plasma within a magnetic field container using a strong magnetic field, as long as stability was maintained and the plasma did not touch the container, the energy released by nuclear fusion could be contained and indirectly harnessed for human use.

This method was one of the ways humanity in his previous life had envisioned for achieving controlled nuclear fusion.

Mu Lin had always understood the principle behind this method.

But before, even though he knew it, he could not create the strong magnetic field capable of confining the energy of a nuclear explosion into a single point.

Under normal circumstances, he truly could not. Yet, as the Apostle of Heaven, Mu Lin accomplished this effortlessly.

And with the achievement of controlled nuclear fusion, it meant Mu Lin now possessed what could be called infinite energy.

  1 kilogram of hydrogen fusion = 6.3×10^14 joules of energy, approximately equivalent to 150,573.6 tons of TNT.

1 kilogram of deuterium-tritium fusion = 3.37×10^14 joules, approximately equivalent to 80,544.9 tons of TNT.

The total global electricity consumption for an entire year would require only about 4 tons of nuclear fusion fuel!

Such is the immense energy released by nuclear fusion.

At this moment, Mu Lin used Spiritual Energy particles as nuclear fuel, which was even more efficient and effective.

And this brought forth even more vast and boundless energy.

With this nearly infinite power under his control, suspended at his fingertip, Mu Lin felt only one thing—I can accomplish anything.

He believed this, and he truly acted upon it.

“Let light purify everything!”

“I say, let there be light!”

“Hum!”

With Mu Lin’s low murmur, endless light and immeasurable heat erupted from his fingertip.

“!!!”

The greatest sound is silent; the greatest form is formless. The eruption of infinite light instantly turned the world into a vast expanse of whiteness.

At this moment, the gray Ember Ashes, the eight-headed evil serpent, and the endlessly greedy divine abominations—their voices and forms were all drowned out by this boundless radiance.

This time, the radiance blooming from Mu Lin was not merely light and heat.

Beyond that, the boundless divine light carried the attribute of Purification.

Under the illumination of the light, the Ember Ashes melted away instantly, like early snow encountering sunlight.

Similarly vanishing, layer by layer, were the eight-headed Malevolent Serpent, along with the Resentment, hatred, and violent emotions it had drawn and gathered around itself—all dissolving rapidly, like salt meeting water.

“Boom!!”

The light illuminated everything, purified everything. What was even more terrifying was that this time… the eruption of this boundless radiance was not brief, lasting only an instant.

Under Mu Lin’s will, vast amounts of Spiritual Energy were drawn toward him, continuously undergoing Nuclear Fusion within the intense magnetic field at his fingertips.

Their burning and fission provided Mu Lin with endless energy, allowing the light at his fingertips to erupt perpetually.

One breath, two breaths, ten breaths, a hundred breaths… Under Mu Lin’s will, the pure white, dazzling light bloomed ceaselessly.

Everything in the world, due to the eruption of the light, continuously dissolved, continuously perished, and was continuously purified.

Because the light erupting from Mu Lin’s fingertips was too intense and too enduring, at this moment, not only the entire Northern Lands…

Even in the Imperial City of Central Continent, people saw the pure white radiance.

“??? What is that?”

“So beautiful?”

“It can be seen from so far away… Could it be that the sun has fallen in the Northern Lands?”

The dazzling, pure white, and heart-warming light made vendors, laborers in the Imperial City of Central Province, and farmers in the countryside all involuntarily halt their steps, set down their tasks, and gaze northward.

Some even believed this to be the power of a god, bowing reverently and submissively toward the Northern Lands in worship.

However, due to the great distance, the people of Central Province found the light dazzling and warm.

But for the Demons and Monsters within the Northern Lands, it was different—their power, their bodies, their Divine Souls… all of it was being weakened layer by layer, annihilated layer by layer within the light.

And this scope was not limited to the battlefield of the Three Great Legions; across the entire Northern Wastelands, all Demons and Monsters were being attacked by the light suspended at Mu Lin’s fingertips.

“Damn it? What is this?”

In a small town, Demons and Monsters had infiltrated a human settlement, contemplating how to hunt humans.

A water demon drifted within a river, demanding offerings from humans.

In a dilapidated temple, a ghost had occupied a Divine Position, acting as a wild deity…

Due to the sky’s rupture, humanity had lost much land across the Northern Wastelands, and numerous demonic monsters were wreaking havoc and roaming freely upon the earth.

But now, these Demonic Monsters, evil spirits, and Malevolent Ghosts were all illuminated by the boundless light.

The light and heat within the radiance, along with the even more terrifying power of Purification, were destroying their bodies, Mana, and the very foundation of their existence.

Everything about them was being purified by the endless light.

“No!”

“Stop, stop it!”

“Great deity, I was wrong, I have never eaten humans… I beg you, spare me…”

The boundless light caused billions of Demonic Fiends to vanish.

Faced with such an attack, the many Demons and Monsters were not without means of resistance.

Some used smoke, others deployed shields, some raised endless water curtains, and still others fled in panic toward distant places.

Yet, it was futile. All resistance melted away, dissolved and purified within that dazzling radiance.

As for fleeing—unless one burrowed underground—how could the speed of demons and monsters ever compare to the propagation of light?

With a single strike of 【Supreme Above and Below, I Alone Am Worthy of Honor】, Mu Lin, He, was purifying all the demonic monsters and filth across the Northern Lands!
