Chapter 272 Fireworks
.
As soon as the words resonated, the petal, simple yet refined in appearance, shot forward like a bullet.
Even though it was traveling underwater, its speed did not seem to decrease, on the contrary, it was increasing further.
In the blink of an eye, the attack reached the demon, striking its large shield directly.
Boom!
As soon as the attack hit the shield, an enormous explosion erupted underwater, spreading in all directions and quickly reaching a radius of nearly a kilometer.
The explosion, which on the surface would be no less destructive than a nuclear bomb, was suppressed by the immense mass of water present at this depth in the ocean. In contrast to the released energy's power, it began creating oscillations within the sphere of damage caused.
The sphere, continuously suppressed by the overwhelming water volume, expanded and contracted repeatedly. Meanwhile, a significant portion of the immense amount of energy released by it was rapidly dissipated into the water.
Yet, this was not enough to fully contain the power of the attack.
The waves of energy unleashed by this explosion propagated in all directions, destroying everything within a radius of several miles.

They created small tsunamis on the surface, which traveled in different directions for quite some time before losing their force and dissipating into the water.
Ethan, who was the primary cause of this attack, remained in place, while the area around him was protected by an invisible barrier of condensed Qi.
As he witnessed the power of his attack, he could only marvel at its might with a deep sigh.
He knew the attack's power was not to be underestimated because he had already tested it a couple of times in his minor dimension when he was still in the mortal realm.
Back then, the power of the attack's first phase had been enough to level the entire mountain of the Phoenix Sect, which, for the record, was a very large and sturdy mountain due to the spiritual vein running beneath it.
Ethan tested the attack again after ascending to the spiritual realm and had to admit that the damage power reached entirely new levels, as he ended up obliterating several kilometers of territory, leaving nothing behind but a massive, deep crater.
In fact, that day, Ethan's small world trembled, and the earthquake caused by him was felt far and wide, creating many disasters along its path.
Even Bai Yu had not expected the attack's power to be so immense and told him he should avoid using it there, as it risked overturning his minor dimension if the attack became even stronger.
This was only the first phase of the attack, and Ethan could say that he could create subsequent stages as well.
The oscillations of the explosion bubble continued for a while before being extinguished by the surrounding water. Nevertheless, it had done its job.
Where the demon had once stood with what seemed to be a defensive talisman, now there was nothing left.
At first glance, it might seem that the demon had been eliminated. However, Ethan did not think for a moment that this was the case.
Infact, he shifted his gaze back to the sphere positioned on the seabed and saw the demon's battered figure there. It was breathing heavily, with an entire part of its body missing.
"Well, it resisted better than I expected," Ethan thought as he moved and reappeared near the sphere.
Ethan was well aware of how lethal his attack was, and he was certain it was powerful enough to eliminate even experts of the spiritual realm's first stage.
That said, he certainly did not believe he would always succeed with this attack. After all, experts at his level had their own hidden cards to play, just like him. Therefore, his goal with this attack was to inflict as much damage as possible on the other party.
If the enemy managed to survive the attack, then so be it. But if not, that was fine too because they would certainly sustain some damage.
Indeed, the half-dead demon had undoubtedly suffered significant damage from it.
While the battle between Ethan and the demon was reaching a turning point, the fight between Ethan's clone and the other demons was also coming to a conclusion.
In the area where four figures had once been clashing, only two now remained.
Ethan's clone, although having taken a few hits, appeared relatively unscathed, and the spiritual realm demon at the peak of the first stage, the shadow demon, was in much worse shape, far worse than the clone's condition.
Both were in a mid-air stalemate, staring at each other, ready to make the next move.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The shadow demon, who was in the worse condition, became increasingly frustrated as it saw how relatively unscathed its opponent remained. It recalled how the clone had killed the other two demons one by one.
The first to fall to the human's hands was the demon that resembled a werewolf.
It had lost its life miserably after being chopped into tiny pieces by the other party. Before it could even begin regenerating using demonic Qi, the other party didn't give it the chance.
With a mere wave of his hand, the pieces, which had transformed into demonic energy, were sealed within a sphere inscribed with various symbols, which then disappeared from the sight of the other two demons.
This alarmed both of them, and they tried to overwhelm the clone with their abilities, but they failed miserably.
They ended up losing the second spiritual realm demon as well, leaving only the one at the peak of the first stage behind.
To this last demon, it was clear that winning against the human before him was impossible.
Seeing the fate of his two teammates, he knew he didn't have much chance of victory. Thus, he decided to take a drastic approach, one he would have preferred not to use unless on the brink of death.
'You've forced me,' the shadow demon thought in frustration as its energy level suddenly began to rise.
Along with it, the mist that surrounded it, which had mostly lost its intensity, started to grow larger and more ferocious, as though the demon had regained its previous strength.
A mouth appeared on the demon's face, where there had previously been only shadows and two white circles.
Immediately, black particles began to accumulate within it. In just a few seconds, the particles condensed further, forming a ball about the size of a basketball.
The demon, having completed its attack preparation, was about to aim when it froze.
The human, who had been about 500 meters away a moment ago, now stood literally a step away from him, looking at him with curiosity.
Before the demon could react, the human spoke:
"Friend, do you really think I'd just stand here quietly while you prepare your attack in peace?" he said, raising his hand.
Before the demon could do anything, a dark aura enveloped the human's hand. Seeing this aura, the demon's eyes widened as it recognized the energy.
"How-"
But before it could even think about the impossible thing it had just witnessed, the human directly grabbed the black ball of energy the demon had condensed with his hand. Without hesitation, he shoved it directly into the demon's mouth.
The shadow demon was immediately overcome with fear and tried to resist, but the human immobilized him with his aura.
Having just used up its last reserves of energy for the attack, the demon was no longer able to resist, and it could only tremble on the spot.
"Has no one ever told you that if you keep your mouth open, a fly might get in?" Ethan said, his words more of a death sentence for the demon as he directly pushed its own attack into its mouth and sealed it with his aura.
Then, he put some distance between himself and the demon, which tried everything to reopen its mouth, and watched as the fireworks began to unfold.
