Chapter 167: Chapter 157: A King Falls, Love’s Iron Fist

BOOM!

Another kilometer-long Flaming Giant Spear appeared on Liu Nan’s back, piercing straight through its body. Half a minute later, the flames dissipated, leaving behind a twenty-meter-wide hole.

Just then, Wang Bushi charged down again, carrying the Spear of Destruction. With a BOOM, the Spear of Destruction detonated. Its immense destructive power tore through Liu Nan’s body once more, and a Flaming Giant Spear materialized from the blast. Liu Nan’s nine heads thrashed about as it let out a muffled roar.

Aboard the Galaxy Airship, Wang Bushi revived. Without a moment’s pause, he shouldered the Spear of Destruction and charged forward again, leaping off...

What did it mean to be a suicide squad?

What did it mean to be fearless in the face of death?

Wang Yi was truly seeing it for the first time today. Wang Bushi revived over and over, charging to his death again and again, carrying the Spear of Destruction for a relentless, non-stop bombardment.

And Liu Nan was like a prisoner being executed, the number of holes in its body growing and growing.

’Too terrifying. *This* is a true Fourth Celestial Calamity. My boy Wang Bushi... I’m tempted to call him the Justice Child!’

Wang Yi muttered to himself, his heart soaring with excitement.

Wang Bushi, paired with the Spear of Destruction, was the perfect combination he had envisioned. With such a devastating weapon, Wang Yi believed that Liu Nan—despised by the Source Body and lacking the world’s ecological support—was not unkillable!

’I still have two Flood Swords! Liu Nan, take this!’

Wang Yi then raised his hand and pointed down. Ten Thousand Points of Chaos Energy were consumed as two specks of light shot out from between his brows, swiftly transforming into two Flying Swords that pierced into Liu Nan’s body below.

SPLISH! SPLASH!

Two columns of water erupted from Liu Nan’s back, then rained back down, pouring into the holes created by the Spear of Destruction. Water met fire, and steam billowed into the air.

Nine more Monkey Kings flew in, scattering in all directions and unleashing a flurry of attacks with their Golden Cudgels.

Even the Flaming Ascetic, which had been on the ropes against Liu Nan, was stunned.

Liu Nan was so devastated by the Spear of Destruction’s blasts that it couldn’t spare any attention for the Ascetic at all.

BOOM! Another Flaming Giant Spear bloomed like a flower, piercing one of Liu Nan’s heads.

The head, now like a piece of charcoal, suddenly exploded. The remaining half of its neck went limp and collapsed.

Seeing this, the colossal Flaming Ascetic seemed to remember that this was its fight. It let out a great roar and lunged forward, grabbing one of Liu Nan’s heads. It then vomited Petroleum onto it, setting it ablaze in a raging inferno. Ignoring the flames, it opened its maw and began to chew on the head.

Liu Nan struggled and shrieked, unable to mount an effective counterattack. It gradually grew weaker.

Two minutes later, the Flaming Ascetic controlled by Mr. Jin had devoured the head whole.

By now, Liu Nan’s body was riddled with ten-meter-wide holes. It seemed to have fallen into a weakened state, its massive body slumped on the ground, a complete sitting duck.

Its subordinate Flame Tree People, Flaming Ascetics, and Fireline Shooters were in a similar state—listless and dispirited, with none of their former ferocity.

’Liu Nan’s ecology is about to collapse!’

Seeing this, Wang Yi’s spirits lifted. If nothing unexpected happened, and the assault continued like this, victory would soon be his.

Wang Bushi continued his merciless suicide bombings, and one Flaming Giant Spear after another bloomed into existence.

Twenty minutes later, all of Liu Nan’s Flame Tree People ceased moving. The flames on their bodies died out, and they turned into tree stumps.

Another ten minutes passed. The Flaming Ascetics and Fireline Shooters stopped moving. A gust of wind blew, and they turned into drifting ash.

The flames on Liu Nan’s body also began to extinguish. It collapsed completely, looking like a mountain of black charcoal.

BOOM!

Another massive Flame Spear pierced through Liu Nan’s body, sending chunks of charred flesh flying.

Immediately after, as if setting off a chain reaction, Liu Nan’s body began to explode all over. Its enormous frame started to contract and wither, while its back bulged, forming a small mountain. Then, with another BOOM, the peak of the mountain burst open like a volcanic eruption, spewing vast amounts of fire, thick smoke, and ash into the sky.

The sky was instantly dyed black.

Wang Yi suddenly received a system notification: "Ding! You have slain a King-level Eco-War Beast and destroyed an A-rank Earth Deity, completing a hidden achievement. Calculating rewards..."

"Ding! This is not your first time slaying an Earth Deity. No Eco-Tree Species will be awarded!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have received: one Golden Supply Treasure Chest, one Mysterious Item, and one Golden Recruitment Scroll. Reward: Full party status recovery. Reward: All troops killed in the last 24 hours will be revived. Reward: Random soldiers will break through!"

Wang Yi roared with laughter.

’Sure enough, firepower is the only truth!’

’So what if it’s a King Deity? With enough firepower, you can blast anything to smithereens!’

But the system rewards weren’t as generous as he had imagined.

’No Eco-Tree Species as a reward... It seems the Eco-Tree Species might be even more valuable than I thought!’

As Wang Yi was pondering this, he received another system notification: "Ding! Your subordinates Leonidas #2 and Leonidas #18 have broken through to become Heroic Level War King Sparta and have acquired the skill Heroic Leap!"

"Ding! Your warrior Man Datou’s Dragon Elephant Skill has broken through to the Seventh Layer!"

"Ding! Your warrior Yang Qingniu has successfully reached Foundation Establishment and has directly entered the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment!"

"Ding! Your warrior Hai Pei has broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining and can now perform simple Sword Control!"

"Ding! Your subordinates Taisen #4 and Taisen #12 have broken through to become Heroic Level Beast Taisen and have acquired the skill [Beastly Heavy Fist]!"

Along with the system notifications, a Golden Supply Treasure Chest, a Hydra Helmet, and a Golden Recruitment Scroll were dispensed, appearing out of thin air right in front of Wang Yi.

Wang Yi was overjoyed and quickly examined them.

The Hydra Helmet was the Mysterious Item. It was effective in the World of Suffering. After equipping it, the wearer gained the Ecological Tier of a Spirit-Transformed Earth Deity, which could be used three times. This allowed them to intimidate and repel low-level ecological Exotic Beasts.
