Open up and break into another world

I'd rather commit suicide than be caught!

The Gold-Devouring Rat was very clear that once it was caught by a human race expert, it would definitely be worse than death! Human race experts would definitely use all kinds of cruel methods to extract information from it; soul searching and the like would all be used.

"Kill!"

The Gold-Devouring Rat's attacks became even more violent, completely disregarding the cost.

Xu Ming, however, became more and more calm as he fought.

In terms of strength, he was not inferior to the Gold-Devouring Rat in the slightest; in terms of equipment, he crushed his opponent—naturally, this battle would not be very difficult.

In addition, after a series of exchanges, Xu Ming had completely figured out the Gold-Devouring Rat's routine.

"Squeak—Squeak—"

The Gold-Devouring Rat screamed anxiously and painfully, becoming more and more frantic as it fought, but it was to no avail.

"I'm actually no match for him…"

An assassin unable to defeat the "assassination target"—what a sad story!

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the Gold-Devouring Rat caught sight of a Spirit Realm cultivator struggling to fly upwards from below.

The Gold-Devouring Rat became even more annoyed: "An ant dares to come and watch the fun!"

Whoosh—

Its eyes widened, and it fiercely shot out two beams of light.

"No—" Xu Ming wanted to stop it, but he couldn't stop it at all.

When the two beams of light hit the Spirit Realm cultivator, they had already merged into one; the beam of light was even thicker than a person.

This curious Spirit Realm cultivator didn't react at all before being directly penetrated by the beam of light, his entire body completely evaporating into nothingness.

Curiosity killed the cat!

However…

The destructive power of the light beam was far from over! After instantly killing the Spirit Realm cultivator, it continued to shoot towards the imperial capital below!!

"Not good!!" Xu Ming's expression changed drastically.

If this beam of light were to strike down, how many people would die in the imperial capital!

One had to know that this was an attack from a Dao Venerable expert!—Even if it was just a casual display, it was not something that mortals could withstand!

But what made Xu Ming helpless was that he couldn't stop it at all!

He could only watch helplessly as the terrifying light beam that destroyed everything and annihilated everything bombarded the imperial capital.

Whoosh—

The light beam instantly passed through layers of clouds from the highest heavens.

Those mortals who were farther away from the imperial capital could see a beam of light descending from the sky and shooting towards the direction of the imperial capital—but they didn't know what this beam of light meant!

This… was a world-destroying light beam!

And the mortals in the imperial capital saw a beam of light shooting directly towards them from the highest heavens.

"What is this?"

A sword-bearing martial artist looked on curiously.

The playing children also looked on curiously.

The princes, marquises, generals, and ministers in the palace all looked on curiously.

Even the newborn infants pointed at the strange light beam shooting from the sky, babbling, "Ah ah."

"Hmm…?"

That genius girl, "Lin'er," keenly sensed a trace of danger.

However, even if she sensed the danger, it was useless!—The speed at which the light beam descended was too fast! Moreover, the lower it went, the larger the range of the light beam became; she couldn't avoid it at all and could only watch helplessly as the light beam shot over.

"Not good!!"

Shen Hui suddenly realized something, and his expression suddenly became extremely horrified.

"Such a big commotion in the sky, it's likely that gods are fighting!"

As the saying goes: When gods fight, mortals suffer!

"This light beam is likely an attack launched by a god…"

Shen Hui's expression was incomparably horrified, and he had already imagined the horror of this light beam!

"No—"

Suddenly, Shen Hui frantically circulated the *Nine Yang Reverse Meridian Art*, rushing madly towards the direction where Lin'er was.

The light beam that annihilated everything descended!!

The world-destroying light beam directly enveloped half of the imperial capital!

The enveloped area included the imperial palace, martial arts sects like the Thunderwind Sect, the residences of mortals, bustling streets, and some underground organizations hidden deep underground… However, all of these buildings, all of the mortal martial artists, all evaporated into nothingness the moment the light beam descended!

The earth in this half of the imperial capital was directly blasted into a hundred-zhang deep pit!

This was the casual strike of a Dao Venerable expert!

Fortunately, the attacking mystery contained in this light beam was "annihilation" rather than something like "explosion." Therefore, only the area covered by the light beam was destroyed; those outside of this area were not affected at all.

Shen Hui's figure had just rushed to the edge of the light beam when the light beam had already descended.

"No—"

He could only watch helplessly as Lin'er, within the range of the light beam, instantly turned into nothingness.

The light beam vanished in an instant.

Everything within the light beam also instantly annihilated and disappeared.

Shen Hui stretched out his hand, wanting to grab something, but he couldn't grab anything.

He opened his mouth slightly, speechless. He wanted to shout something, but he couldn't shout anything out.

Watching helplessly as the person he loved most disappeared before his eyes; and he himself was so small and powerless… What kind of feeling was this!

*Plop!*

Shen Hui couldn't help but soften at the knees and fall to the ground.

In the highest heavens, Xu Ming looked incredulously at everything that had happened below.

Half of the imperial capital!

Hundreds of thousands of mortals and martial artists!

All were gone under this one beam of light!

All were gone!!

Whether it was a highly positioned and powerful prince, or a genius with unlimited potential; whether it was an old man enjoying his twilight years, or a newborn infant; whether it was an assassin full of murderous intent, or a kind-faced monk; whether it was a patient despairing of the future, or a martial artist full of longing for the path of martial arts…

In an instant, all were gone!

Life was brilliant, but life was also incomparably fragile!

Xu Ming stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it for a long time—hundreds of thousands of lives, gone just like that?

"You…" In the depths of Xu Ming's eyes, there was endless anger and killing intent.

The Gold-Devouring Rat actually sneered: "To think that at your level, you would still feel angry because of the deaths of these ordinary people?"

Angry?

How could he not be angry?

These were hundreds of thousands of living people!

Just like that, they were casually killed by this alien race?

"Alien races… all deserve to die!!"

Xu Ming finally deeply understood a sentence—the battle between the human race and the alien races was a never-ending one!

Either the human race perished, or the alien races perished!

Thinking of this, Xu Ming's heart couldn't help but tremble fiercely: "The human race perishing? Wouldn't that mean the suffering of countless billions of living beings?"

"No!!"

"I must not let such a thing happen!!"

Xu Ming was not some compassionate great philanthropist, but as a "human," he still had a bit of conscience of his own!

"For the sake of the human race, I must exterminate all alien races!!"

Rumble…

Just then, the space not far from Xu Ming was suddenly torn open, creating a large gash.

A large hand, flowing with incomparably profound Heavenly Dao laws, directly protruded from the spatial rift, grabbing the elephant-sized Gold-Devouring Rat as if grabbing a chick.

Zhan Wuwei's voice rang out like thunder: "Alien race fiend, you dare to slaughter my human race compatriots, quickly accept your death!!"

The Gold-Devouring Rat immediately revealed a look of horror—a human race expert had arrived!

"No, I must not be caught!"

The Gold-Devouring Rat frantically stirred up the aura on its body, as if it were a lit bomb.

It was going to… self-destruct!

Self-destruct before being caught by the human race expert!

"No!!!!!"

What horror and shock Xu Ming felt!

A casual strike from the Gold-Devouring Rat had caused the suffering of hundreds of thousands of lives. If it were allowed to self-destruct successfully, wouldn't that mean the suffering of millions or even tens of millions of lives?

"No!!!!!" Xu Ming absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen!

However, the place where Zhan Wuwei had torn open the spatial rift was, after all, still a bit far away—he didn't have time to stop the Gold-Devouring Rat's self-destruction.

"No!!!!!"

Xu Ming, disregarding everything, killed towards the Gold-Devouring Rat!

"Xu Ming!!" Zhan Wuwei revealed a look of horror—the Gold-Devouring Rat was about to self-destruct, yet Xu Ming still rushed up, how dangerous was that!

The power of the central area of a Six-Step Dao Venerable's self-destruction was not a joke!

Even a Half-Step Dao Lord could be directly blasted to death!!
