Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 242 242: Carnage

"It's not easy, is it?" Xu Shan asked as he stood with the support of the wall, lazily watching the girl.

"All those people that you'll kill... How many of them will be innocent people who haven't committed a single sin in their lives. How many of them will be people that you might've known or who helped you in one way or another."

"This is the price of strength," he smiled as he continued. "Then again, it's not the first time you've taken someone's life and strength from them. With the kind of Heaven's Wrath that you've gathered, it's clear just what kind of people you've devoured."

"So why are you hesitating? Did you hesitate when you stole your sister's Celestial Spirit? Did you hesitate when you killed people in the past?"

Xu Shan didn't show any anger. Instead, he was enjoying this scene. It was as if he was testing her heart to see if she was really worth investing in.

"I'll leave the choice to you. You can cancel this plan. And I won't harm you for that. Since you won't be of use to me, I will take the Book of Devouring from you, and free you from my control."

"Or you can grasp this opportunity with your hands and take what you wanted for so long."

"You can either live the life of a queen, who's the strongest in this world. Or you can become the bringer of destruction and destroy everything with your own hands for something greater. The choice shall be yours."

As Xu Shan finished telling her both the options, he went silent and simply observed from a distance.

"What do you think she will do? Won't it be a waste if she doesn't do anything?" The Book Spirit asked Xu Shan, intrigued about the choice that the girl was going to make.

Just like Xu Shan had to sacrifice something to get his desires fulfilled, the woman was caught in a similar choice. She had to sacrifice one thing for another.

Xu Shan didn't answer Xin. The calm smile remained on his lips. Most of the time, he was in the place of the girl, having to make difficult choices. But now that he was just a spectator, he found it quite interesting.

"Her decision is already made." Xu Shan told Xin, as if he wasn't surprised in the least with the decision.

Right before his eyes, the Divine Empress activated the formation. Although she was hesitant and thought that she might regret it in the future, she chose to sacrifice everything!

For her goals, she chose to sacrifice the entire world, including the soldiers who fought for her and supported her.

Once the formation activated, the entire sky of Divine Realm was filled with colorful lights, as if the world itself was crying over their fate.

The devouring formation that was buried under the ground, spread out to cover the entire world.

The ground trembled as the devouring formation's power surged through the earth. The Divine Empress stood at the center, her eyes filled with strange emotions. There was no time to regret now. There was no looking back.

She knew that her decision would have dire consequences, but she believed it was necessary to achieve her ultimate goal.

As the formation expanded, it began to devour everything in its path. Buildings crumbled, forests withered, and even the very essence of life seemed to be consumed by its insatiable hunger. The once vibrant Divine Realm was slowly engulfed in darkness and chaos.

Xu Shan watched with a mix of fascination and as the world around him crumbled. This was the first time he had seen the large-scale effect of devouring.

Not only was the world being devoured, but also all the life forms. All their life essence and Cultivation was being drawn out of their body, moving straight to the Divine Empress through the group who stood at the center of the formation.

Many powerful Cultivators dropped to their knees, feeling a sudden weakness.

Xu Shan watched the large-scale destruction of the world, which was becoming the foundation of the Divine Empress' advent to immortality.

Seeing how decisive she was, he found her worthy of his investment. He had seen the potential within her, and now it was being realized as her aura started flaring.

The Book of Devouring absorbed all the celestial aura that it received from the formation. And after purifying it, sent it directly to her body.

Unfortunately, although the aura was purified, it was still in such large quantities that the Divine Empress found it hard to absorb it all. She felt as if her body was breaking apart from within.

"Can she even survive this?" Xin asked, seeing the tears of blood coming out of the Divine Empress' eyes.

"Did you think I would allow her to die?" Xu Shan smiled. "She is mine now. Even heaven can't take her without my permission."

As the chaos raged on, Xu Shan approached the Divine Empress, his expression unreadable. He placed his hand on her back, slowly healing her body.

While the terrifying amount of energy kept breaking her body, Xu Shan kept healing her. This process of destruction and creation continued, rebuilding the physique of the Divine Empress.

With each passing second, her physical body became stronger. Her strength kept growing, until it finally reached the threshold of a breakthrough.

The sky roared, heaven grieving for the destruction of life in this world. The Divine Tribulation started taking shape in the sky, trying to kill the woman before she could break through.

Xu Shan looked at the sky, noticing the same old Lightning Dragons, although a bit weaker than what he had faced during his breakthrough.

"Just when I was feeling that I needed more essence from heaven for myself."

As if he was a beast who had seen his prey, Xu Shan flew straight towards the Lightning Dragons in the sky.

The Lightning Dragons were here to kill the Divine Empress. However, as soon as they appeared, they became someone else's target.

While the Divine Empress devoured the world, Xu Shan devoured the Heavenly Tribulations, strengthening his Heavenly Law comprehension.
