632 Annihilate the Fiend!

“A Principle! The Principle of Annihilation!”

This was the first time Lin Feng had seen a complete Principle. In particular, it was the Principle of Annihilation. This was completely filled with destruction, devastation, and was the essence of countless Laws of Annihilation in the universe!

Lin Feng had even comprehended the Law of Annihilation, and the ultimate Law of Annihilation at that. However, after seeing this complete Principle of Annihilation, his Law of Annihilation seemed like a small boat in the sea, and entirely insignificant.

In a battle between Divine Kings, apart from the competition of the combat body, there was actually also a competition of Principles!

As the Principle of Annihilation was activated, and the huge palm that was tens of thousands of light-years long appeared, Lin Feng felt a violent sense of threat. This was a Divine King. Although the North River Divine King had not even used more than 20% of his strength, Lin Feng already felt threatened.

Boom.

As this palm landed, Lin Feng’s combat body shook violently. The characteristics of the Tidal Combat Body were vividly displayed at this moment. However, restorative ability was only one of the characteristics of the Tidal Combat Body, and not its main characteristic.

In a competition with a Divine King, Lin Feng’s Law of Tides gave a tenfold enhancement, and was not inferior in terms of strength. However, in a competition of Laws or Principles, Lin Feng suffered a crushing defeat.

A large amount of annihilative power wreaked havoc in Lin Feng’s body. This was what happened when annihilation reached, and even one-tenth of the combat body was instantly annihilated. This was also the reason Lin Feng used the Tidal Combat Body.

If it were the Greater Annihilative Combat Body or the Void Traversal Combat Body, it would probably be even worse!

The Divine King did not even need to use the power of his combat body. Just using the power of the Principle was enough to exhaust Lin Feng and put him in a sorry state.

Fortunately, the Tidal Combat Body lived up to its reputation. If the Law of Annihilation in his body did not work, he would resist it head-on. He managed to withstand a strike from the North River Divine King, and his combat body was rapidly recovering.

“Huh? You actually resisted it.”

The North River Divine King was a little surprised. Although he did not seem to perceive Lin Feng, the Supreme Grand Emperor, as a threat, he himself had grown to his present state since he was weak. He knew very well that even a lion must still use its full strength when hunting a rabbit.

Hence, using the power of the combat body to tens of thousands of light-years was almost his limit. Any larger and the aftershock would probably be enough to destroy the North River Galaxy. Moreover, he had used the Principle of Annihilation.

In a sense, he had already gone all out, and had no intention of underestimating Lin Feng.

Even so, Lin Feng still resisted it. Even though it was a little difficult and he was in a sorry state, it was an indisputable fact that Lin Feng had blocked a strike from the Divine King.

“Hmph, how many times can you withstand it?”

When the North River Divine King saw Lin Feng’s battered combat body, he naturally knew that Lin Feng had lost a tenth of his combat body from the previous strike. How could Lin Feng possibly withstand a few more strikes?

Could a Supreme Grand Emperor really slay a Divine King above his level? Even the legendary Supreme Grand Emperor could only contend with a Divine King at most. Slaying a Divine King above his level? It was unheard of.

Rumble.

The North River Divine King slammed his palm down again. It was still a huge palm with the power of the 10,000-light-year combat body. Coupled with the power of the Principle of Annihilation, it crushed down majestically, and even the cosmos fell silent.

Lin Feng naturally understood his current situation. The Tidal Combat Body could not withstand it at all. Forget about ten times, he would probably not be able to withstand it after three or five times, and his combat body would collapse.

Although his combat body had been enhanced by ten times by Law, and was also comparable to a combat body of tens of thousands of light-years, Lin Feng was helpless against the Principle of Annihilation wielded by the North River Divine King.

The Principle suppressed all Laws!

Even without an artifact, it would not be so easy for Lin Feng to use the ultimate Law of Space. He could only find a small gap to warp space and escape.

This was only one Principle. If there were two or three Principles suppressing him, they could be superimposed. Just the power of the Principles would be enough to make any Grand Emperor despair.

However, Lin Feng was not an ordinary Grand Emperor. He was the Supreme Grand Emperor, a legend in the universe, the ruler of all Grand Emperors!

The title of supremacy was inherently compatible with some unknown Principle of the universe itself.

“Starfell Pearl.”

The Starfell Pearl in front of Lin Feng shone and expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had already become larger than a supermassive black hole.

Boom.

The palm of the North River Divine King and the Principle of Annihilation landed hard on the Starfell Pearl, but they were blocked by the Starfell Pearl. The cosmos shook, and the Principle boiled, but it still could not do anything to the Starfell Pearl.

There were five or even six trillion planets in the Starfell Pearl. Even Lin Feng himself did not know how many planets there were. Moreover, the materials used to refine the Starfell Pearl were countless new materials, precious cosmic materials, and a body that had transformed into the universe. Apart from the lack of Chaotic energy, all of them were part of the body of a universal lifeform.

How could the North River Divine King destroy the Starfell Pearl refined from so many precious materials so easily?

Lin Feng closed his eyes. At this moment, his heart was incomparably calm.

Just now, the moment the North River Divine King attacked, what did he see?

He saw the vengeful spirits of countless victims, trillions of them, as if they were constantly weeping and recounting their grievances. The North River Divine King’s massive combat body spanned tens of thousands of light-years, and even reached 100,000 light-years. Everything the North River Divine King had now was built upon devouring countless lives.

His heinous crimes shook the universe!

The vengeful spirits of countless victims wailed, and countless living beings struggled. Countless sins intertwined. Lin Feng seemed to “see” them all. He seemed to “sense” them all.

Hence, the sorrow in Lin Feng’s heart was brewing with killing intent, which transformed into monstrous killing intent that kept rolling, as if it would spew out at any moment.

“Every lifeform deserves their own choices!”

“Even weak lifeforms are free souls. They have infinite possibilities. By devouring them, you devour their future and countless possibilities in the universe.”

“We are cultivators. No matter how powerful—a Divine King, Divine Venerable, Divine Emperor, or even a universal lifeform that transcends the universe—these are still lifeforms!”

“No life should ever be deprived at will.”

Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, his righteous impetus had brewed to its peak.

“North River Divine King, did you hear that? They are crying, struggling, and resenting. You have destroyed their futures and devoured all that they have. As a member of the vast numbers of lifeforms, I will kill you on their behalf!”

“Today, I, the Supreme Grand Emperor, Lin Feng, slay this fiend in the name of trillions of living beings!”

At this moment, Lin Feng seemed to have understood something. His mind was incomparably clear. His mind also seemed to have sublimated at this moment.

He saw the universe. It was not so cold and dark, nor was it so dead. He saw life. Endless life. It was precisely due to the presence life that the entire universe was adorned with incomparable brilliance.

Even though his realm had not improved at all, and even his combat body had not improved at all, and his Laws still seemed to be the ultimate Laws, at this moment, Lin Feng felt as if his mind had sublimated, as if it was compatible with some kind of Principle in the universe. A vast power filled his entire body.

“Starfell Pearl, eliminate the fiend!”

Lin Feng’s voice was mighty, as if it had suddenly become the cry of billions of living beings, echoing throughout the entire cosmos.
