As the last flash of lightning faded, the entire world seemed to fall silent. The Emperor's kingdom had long since crumbled beneath the apocalypse, dissolving into nothingness. Because Su Rui had deliberately confined the center of the apocalypse to the imperial palace, only the buildings within it collapsed under the might of the heavens. While buildings elsewhere in the capital were also affected, the civilians sheltering within suffered minimal casualties.
After the thunderbolt disappeared, people soon walked out of the building, and a hint of life slowly appeared in the city of Shenjing.
Su Rui rested in the ruins of the palace for a while, and the magic power that had been exhausted in his body slowly recovered a little. However, the large and small sandalwood Buddha lights were like trickles, and soon recovered to one tenth of their state.
Under the seven rounds of calamity, the entire imperial palace seemed to have experienced an apocalyptic catastrophe. The once magnificent and solemn palace was now reduced to ruins. This land of nearly one million square meters, once home to countless lives, was now destroyed by this terrible natural disaster.
Yet, despite this, Su Rui could still clearly sense the presence of the Crown Prince, Prince Ning, the Xuanyin Sect Leader's demon corpse, the White Bone True Monarch, the Five Ghost Heavenly Kings, and others. Though their presence was faint, they were clearly still alive. After all, these individuals were all powerful cultivators who had reached the pinnacle of their cultivation. Which of them hadn't endured life-or-death trials to reach this point? They naturally possessed some unknown means of survival, so their chances of surviving such a terrifying thunderstorm weren't entirely surprising.
In comparison, the emperor and the woman who was suspected to be the naked leader were not so lucky. Their breath had completely disappeared. They were probably dead and became a pair of "unfortunate" mandarin ducks.
"Sister Chi Jiao, now it's your turn!" Su Rui shouted, knocking on the Black Mountain Seal in his hand.
As Su Rui endured the Seventh Heavenly Tribulation, Chi Jiao repeatedly tried to help, but was each time restrained by Su Rui. The reason was simple: Chi Jiao had already reached the final stage of her bloodline cultivation—the ninth level, the Thirty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. If she had acted rashly at this point, the Heavenly Dao would not sit idly by and would undoubtedly punish her. After all, in a collective tribulation like this, nearly all living beings would be drawn into the conflict, enduring the test of life and death together.
However, as the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes, and it is amazing that so many people survived this collective tribulation.
At this moment, Su Rui suddenly felt a familiar breath, and saw a beautiful girl slowly walking out of the Black Mountain Divine Seal. This girl was the red dragon transformed.
When Chi Jiao saw Su Rui, a trace of concern appeared on her face. She quickly walked over to Su Rui, helped him up from the ground, and gently put a sky-blue robe on him. However, when Su Rui put on the robe, he looked like a green vegetable with a braised egg on top. His original elegant image was instantly gone.
Looking at his current appearance, Su Rui couldn't help but feel annoyed. He had never expected that he would look so ridiculous after wearing this robe. It was completely different from his previous elegant image.
"Sister Chi Jiao, help me over. Not a single one of these bastards who only want to cause chaos in the world can be left alive!"
Su Rui spoke in a cold voice. His gaze first fell in the direction of the prince. It had once been a peaceful and tranquil Buddhist kingdom, but now it had become shattered and unrecognizable. While the original Buddhist kingdom could still be vaguely discerned, the rain of mandala flowers had vanished, leaving only a single, slightly withered mandala flower blooming in the center.
As the red dragon cautiously supported Su Rui as they approached, the datura flower, seemingly sensing danger, suddenly pulled out its roots and attempted to flee. However, the red dragon effortlessly unleashed a stream of flames, trapping it within, leaving it with no escape. The datura flower anxiously spun in a panic.
Su Rui's face was devoid of pity, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Without hesitation, he activated his "Mori Golden Light Pupil" and, after careful observation, discovered that the prince's shattered soul was hiding within the mandala flower. Immediately, he unleashed a blast of blazing solar true fire, striking the mandala flower with unerring accuracy. The flower instantly ignited, bursting into flames.
At this moment, the prince's soul fled hastily from the burning mandala flower, but was pierced firmly by the golden needle released by Su Rui immediately afterwards.
While the Golden Light Divine Needle condensed from the "Mori Golden Light Pupil" possessed incredible power, if used against a Tribulation-crossing Immortal or Golden Body Arhat in their prime, it would likely be difficult to even approach within three feet of the opponent. However, for a fragmented primordial spirit, the Golden Light Divine Needle was more than powerful enough.
In fact, even if the Golden Light Divine Needle was ineffective, the prince's broken soul would not be able to escape. This was because Su Rui still had the Red Dragon as his last trump card, and the Red Dragon would not let the enemy go easily.
After killing the prince, Su Rui found Prince Ning with the help of Chi Jiao.
Prince Ning had just experienced his third celestial tribulation, leaving him without the ability to resist. To survive, he had no choice but to attach his shattered spirit to a black water snake in the palace's Qinghua Pond, thereby escaping the calamity. However, his condition was so dire that he was knocked unconscious by the tribulation the moment he attached himself to the snake.
When Su Rui found him, he unleashed a burst of his innate Gengjin thunder sword energy without hesitation. Prince Ning didn't even have time to react before he and the black snake were killed by Su Rui.
Next came the White Bone God. At this time, he had turned into a broken jade skeleton with only the upper body left. He was crawling with difficulty using his hands to support his incomplete body, trying to piece together his lower body.
