Chapter 227 : [Return to Origin] Reappears
On Monster King Orochi's colossal body, hundreds of dragon heads simultaneously opened their menacing mouths.
Terrifying energy began to gather in their throats.
The scorching light illuminated the entire massive underground space as if it were daytime.
The next second, doomsday arrived!
Hundreds of destructive Energy Blasts shot from all directions towards Lin Mo's location!
At this moment, Lin Mo, in the center of the storm of death, finally made a new move.
He unclenched his fist and similarly gathered golden energy in his palm.
Dragon-level Energy Blast!
He chose not to defend, but to counterattack!
One dazzling golden Energy Blast after another shot from his hand, precisely meeting each destructive light beam.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
For a moment, the entire underground cavern was a mix of gold and red!
Golden orbs of light and crimson beams fiercely collided in mid-air, each impact triggering a massive explosion.
This doomsday-like exchange of blows lasted for a full half-minute before slowly subsiding.
The cavern was a mess, the ground pockmarked with craters.
Lin Mo still stood in his original spot, the ground beneath him completely intact.
Monster King Orochi was also unharmed, his energy seemingly endless.
But at this moment, he was filled with shock and bewilderment.
"Energy... attack?!"
Monster King Orochi's eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief.
"Besides that Homeless Emperor, how can there be another human capable of using such pure energy attacks?"
Suddenly, information about the S-Class Hero KING flashed through his mind.
The intelligence mentioned that KING possessed a world-destroying ultimate technique, whose name echoed through the heavens.
"So that's it... Is this your 'Purgatory Matchless Exploding Heat Wave Cannon'?"
Monster King Orochi's voice slowly sounded, as he seemed to have found a reasonable explanation.
"The power is indeed impressive, no wonder he's lauded as the 'strongest man on earth' by human society."
"Hmm?" Lin Mo uttered in confusion.
The fight was intense, why the sudden mention of such an awkward name?
Monster King Orochi seemed to take Lin Mo's brief confusion as an acknowledgment.
His voice took on a hint of condescending judgment.
"For a human, to wield energy to this extent is indeed commendable."
"But if this is your strongest move, then you shall fall here today!"
Monster King Orochi's confidence was not unfounded.
That half-minute energy clash was merely a warm-up for him.
As an ultimate life form, he could draw upon the endless energy deep beneath the earth.
And the human before him, in his view, no matter how strong, had limits to his stamina and energy.
He could exhaust him to death!
However, Lin Mo on the other side merely shook his head gently, he was already too lazy to dwell on that name.
"Your trump cards are all played."
Lin Mo's voice resonated, echoing throughout the cavern, "Then, this farce should end."
"Arrogant insect!"
Monster King Orochi was completely enraged by Lin Mo's contemptuous demeanor.
He already considered the energy clash draw a personal humiliation, and seeing his opponent so arrogant now, his fury burned even brighter.
All of his remaining dragon heads once again transformed into a torrential storm, sweeping towards Lin Mo.
This time, it was a hybrid attack of physical strikes and energy beams; he intended to use the most violent method to tear the man before him into pieces!
However, facing this even more ferocious attack, Lin Mo made a move that Monster King Orochi could not comprehend at all.
He spread his feet slightly, lowered his body, and assumed an incredibly simple yet profoundly stable horse stance.
Immediately after, he slowly raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and brought it to his waist.
This was an ordinary charging stance, so common that any child learning Martial Arts would know it.
But the moment he assumed this posture, the entire world changed.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
The sound of the Emperor Engine, which had constantly boomed like a war drum since Lin Mo's appearance, vanished.
The vibrations caused by the violent energy shockwaves ceased.
The dust andgravel flying in the air solidified.
Time and space, at this moment, fell into an absolute stillness.
A profound, all-encompassing aura, returning to its primordial state, emanated from Lin Mo.
It was no longer an overbearing Intimidation, nor a sharp killing intent, but an ultimate artistic conception that seemed to encompass all things in the universe.
Monster King Orochi's world-destroying attack abruptly froze tens of meters away from Lin Mo.
All the dragon heads, all the Energy Blasts, were eerily suspended in mid-air, maintaining their forward momentum, yet unable to advance an inch further.
It wasn't that he wanted to stop, but rather that time seemed to have become stagnant.
Fear appeared in Monster King Orochi's eyes for the first time.
He felt that he was no longer facing a human, but the beginning and end of the entire universe!
His proud body, his endless energy, seemed infinitesimally small before this artistic conception.
He wanted to flee, to retreat, to break free from this invisible restraint.
But his body was as if bound by invisible shackles, unable to move even a single finger.
"This move is the strongest strike I can unleash, exhausting all of my current Martial Arts · Pinnacle."
Lin Mo's voice sounded, signaling the end of the battle.
"All things begin from one, and shall return to one."
"Martial Arts · Pinnacle · Return to Origin."
The instant his words fell, the fist he had brought to his waist slowly pushed forward.
This punch had no sonic boom tearing through the air, no dazzling brilliance, not even the slightest hint of a breeze.
But in Monster King Orochi's vision, this punch occupied his entire world, becoming the sole focus of all his senses.
He could not evade, could not block.
"No... this is impossible..."
He let out an unwilling roar.
"I... I am the ultimate life form! A being destined to become a god! How could I... die... like this..."
Finally, that seemingly ordinary fist gently imprinted itself upon his massive main head.
The next second, an abrupt change occurred.
Monster King Orochi's colossal body, like a mountain range, began to disintegrate.
Starting from the main head touched by the fist, an annihilating disintegration rapidly spread throughout his entire body.
From dragon head to serpent tail, from indestructible scales to incredibly tough muscles and bones, from ceaselessly flowing blood to every single cell that constituted his existence... everything about him dissipated under the will of "Return to Origin."
Within mere seconds, this arrogant Monster King transformed into countless tiny fragments of flesh, scattering and falling.
This attack was different from the earth-shattering punch he used against Gouket earlier.
Last time, he held nothing back, wanting to see the effect of his full-power strike, which resulted in immense destruction.
This time, all the power was perfectly applied to the Monster King Orochi.
Only his body was utterly destroyed, while the surrounding environment remained untouched by even a single trace of damage.
This is Martial Arts · Pinnacle.
To control freely is to reach the pinnacle.
Lin Mo slowly retracted his fist, stood straight again, his expression calm.
