Free Web NovelChapter 279: Total Annihilation
The front line battlefield fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was plunged into extreme shock.
This included the four 7th Order beings standing high in the void, as well as the Tier 1 and Tier 2 Demonized Monsters scattered across the battlefield, whose mind had long been consumed by bloodlust.
No.
There were no longer any Tier 1 or Tier 2 Demonized Monsters left.
Although the battle between Noah and Gray Fang had been brief and fought high in the sky, it had not taken place in the deeper void where 7th Order beings usually clashed.
The aftermath of their battle swept across an enormous area.
The entire battlefield trembled violently. Even after greatly weakened by the Disaster Will, the residual power could not be completely erased.
All Tier 1 and Tier 2 Demonized Monsters were crushed into bloody mist.
Even the Tier 3 Demonized Monsters suffered heavy injuries, coughing up blood from the shockwaves.
Of course, the low level Demonized Monster were not the only ones affected.
The Demon Subduing Alliance also paid a price.
Every combatant at Tier 3 and above suffered varying degrees of injury.
"A 7th Tier being... just died?"
A Sixth Order member of Demon Subduing Alliance muttered in disbelief.
Sylvia and the others felt as though they were trapped in a dream.
Throughout the countless years of war between the Demon Subduing Alliance, Gray Demon Clan, and the Mountain Ridge Giant Beasts, 7th Order casualties were not unheard of.
The Demon Subduing Alliance had lost two.
The Gray Demon Clan had lost one.
The Mountain Ridge Giant Beasts had lost one as well.
But those 7th Order beings had all died after fierce battle against opponents of the same level.
How had Gray Fang died?
He had been completely overwhelmed.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, he had never gained the upper hand.
In the end, he was killed outright by Noah’s final strike.
They had all died through prolonged warfare.
Years of continuous fighting.
Years of wearing each other down, accumulating injuries, exhausting resources, and waiting for the perfect opportunity.
Only when the conditions were just right would they unleash everything they had in a single decisive strike.
The death of a 7th Order being was never simple.
It involved the movements of other 7th Order existences, the maintenance of entire battlefields, countless schemes and counter schemes, and battles that could last for years.
Only then would there be a chance to kill one.
Yet now...
A 7th Order being.
An existence as towering as pillar supporting the heavens.
A being so powerful that even other 7th Order experts found it difficult to kill.
Had been obliterated by a single punch.
Right before everyone’s eyes.
How could Sylvia and other believe it?
At this moment, they almost suspected that they had fallen into a massive illusion cast by some terrifying 7th Order existence.
Deep within the void, a colossal hole spanning thousands of kilometers remained suspended in space.
For a long time, it showed no signs of closing.
Sunfall Strike was far more than a simple enhancement of Mountain River Collapse.
Its power was more violent.
More destructive.
And far more penetrating.
The punch Noah had unleashed moments ago had not merely crossed space.
It had punched directly into the deeper layers of the void itself.
A Level 7 Skyfall Strike.
Combined with Noah’s terrifying attributes.
The resulting power had already reached an astonishing level.
Although it was still far from shattering the void and striking the world’s membrane with a single blow, it had nonetheless pierced deep into the fabric of the Remnant World’s void.
Like a wound torn open on a living body.
Naturally, such a wound could not heal in a short period of time.
Terrifying streams of chaotic energy continuously poured from the enormous rift.
Like an endless natural disaster.
Like a wound bleeding into reality itself.
The sight sent chills through everyone’s hearts.
At the same time, it served as undeniable proof.
Everything that had happened moments ago...
Was real.
The two remaining 7th-Order Gray Demons were filled with both shock and fury.
Neither of them had expected that Gray Fang, who had merely descended to eliminate a 6th-Order human, would end up dying instead.
And not just dying.
Being completely annihilated.
At the same time, a deep fear toward Noah began to emerge within their hearts.
With their experience and perception, they could naturally tell that the terrifying punch which had shaken even them was the result of a massive burst of power.
A 6th-Order existence killing a 7th-Order being with a single punch?
They absolutely refused to believe Noah had paid no price for such a feat.
That simply defied all common sense.
Nor did they believe he could unleash that same attack a second time.
"Gray Kite."
"We must take advantage of his weakened state and kill him immediately."
"Otherwise, once he recovers..."
"He will become our greatest nightmare."
"You hold back those two old opponents."
"I’ll descend and kill him myself."
The communication between the two 7th-Order Gray Demons was completed almost instantly.
Noah’s performance had genuinely frightened them.
Such a monster could not be allowed to continue growing.
Absolutely not.
If given enough time, he would become a calamity capable of wiping out their entire race.
Determination flashed across the eyes of one of the 7th-Order Gray Demons.
The intricate patterns covering its body suddenly ignited with a blood-red glow.
The crimson light was abnormal.
Violent.
Sinister.
The next moment—
Its aura erupted violently.
Surging upward at an astonishing rate.
In the blink of an eye, it exceeded the limits of a normal burst state.
The other 7th-Order Gray Demon seized the opportunity to descend.
It, too, entered a desperate state, unleashing an attack far stronger than Gray Tu’s as it tore through the void.
Everything happened in an instant.
Only a few seconds had passed since Noah killed Gray Tu with a single punch, yet the two 7th-Order Gray Demons had already recovered from their shock and launched a counterattack with astonishing decisiveness.
The two 7th-Order beings from the Demon Subduing Alliance reacted immediately and tried to intercept.
However, they were forcibly entangled by the other 7th-Order Gray Demon, who had completely abandoned defense and was fighting with all its might.
Sylvia and the others had not expected the Gray Demons to be so resolute.
Their minds were still immersed in the shock of Noah killing Gray Fang.
Before they could even feel any joy, they saw a terrifying killing blow descending toward Noah.
"It’s over..."
Everyone’s face turned pale.
They all believed that Noah must have used some kind of forbidden move to survive Gray Tu’s full-power attack and then kill a 7th-Order being with a single punch.
But forbidden moves always came with severe limitations.
No matter how heaven-defying the technique was, there was no way it could be used continuously.
The current Noah should have been at his weakest.
His most vulnerable moment.
How could he possibly withstand an even stronger attack from a 7th-Order being?
Boom!
An incomparably terrifying strike landed directly on the supposedly weakened Noah.
The impact shook the heavens.
The aftermath alone triggered violent explosions across the sky.
Many 6th-Order beings were sent reeling in miserable states, while countless cracks spread across the battlefield below.
"Did he die?"
The 7th-Order Gray Demon stared fixedly at Noah’s location.
It didn’t dare blink even once.
Then, despair gradually appeared in its eyes.
The killing blow that even it would have found difficult to endure had struck Noah head-on.
Yet it failed to leave behind even the slightest injury.
Not a drop of blood.
Not even a scratch.
"This is impossible!"
The 7th-Order Gray Demon’s eyes widened.
Its expression became one of complete disbelief.
How could a mere 6th-Order being casually withstand their desperate attack?
This completely overturned everything it knew.
What was even harder to accept was what happened next.
Noah didn’t retreat.
Nor did he show any signs of weakness. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Instead, he immediately threw another punch.
"Sunfall Strike."
A vast and terrifying fist print swept across the sky.
Like a falling heaven, it swallowed the 7th-Order Gray Demon whole.
The void shattered once more.
Moments later, a second massive hole was blasted open in the heavens.
"Does his forbidden move have no limitations?"
At that moment, not only the Demonized Monsters but even the members of the Demon Subduing Alliance wore expressions of utter confusion and disbelief.
One punch could be explained as a miracle.
Two punches?
That was enough to make everyone question reality itself.
Noah didn’t bother with how shocked everyone was.
After killing the two 7th-Order Gray Demons with a single punch each, he once again took out the Sun Shooting Bow.
The consumption of Sunfall Strike hadn’t increased, but it was still an Epic skill.
Using two full-power Sunfall Strikes in succession was already his limit.
If not for his high Combat Art proficiency, he probably wouldn’t have been able to unleash two strikes at all.
After all, his current attributes far exceeded his life level.
The mental burden alone was enormous.
Under such circumstances, he could no longer fire a full-power Sunfall Arrow.
However, even a Sunfall Arrow with only half, or even one-third, of its original power was still extremely powerful in Noah’s hands.
With two arrows, he directly killed the last 7th-Order Gray Demon.
Only then did Noah let out a breath of relief.
He decisively deactivated his burst state, maintaining only his normal condition, and began harvesting the battlefield.
Meanwhile, all the remaining 6th-Order monsters fell into despair.
The stronger a being was, the stronger its ability to survive.
If a 6th-Order being fled with all its strength, it could cross thousands of kilometers in an instant.
Even for a 7th-Order existence, killing a desperately fleeing 6th-Order being was no simple task.
No matter how powerful a 7th-Order being was, when faced with multiple 6th-Order enemies scattering in every direction, they could only kill a portion of them.
Some would always manage to escape.
