# Chapter 2453: With My Crimson Flame! Burn Through the Heavens
The Flame Dragon God Emperor raised his huge hand high, a massive white-hot sphere held aloft in his palm!
Extremely dazzling!
Xiao Chuihuo called this white sphere the Thermonuclear Core!
Within the Eastern Divine Myth Domain, everyone's energy was completely drawn out by Xiao Chuihuo, flowing toward the Thermonuclear Core!
Even the Azure Dragon and Thunder Dragon opened their gaping maws, continuously injecting energy into it!
It was precisely this strike that gave Xiao Chuihuo the feeling that he could deliver a hundredfold critical hit!
As energy poured in, the Thermonuclear Core didn't grow larger—instead, it shrank smaller and smaller!
Even the light it emitted grew increasingly dim!
Yet the aura of the Thermonuclear Core became extremely ominous; the surrounding space began to disintegrate, flickering in and out of existence!
It seemed as if the Creation Great Ruins itself could not bear to contain this Thermonuclear Core!
To build power for the Thermonuclear Core, even the Great Flame Emperor's form began to shrink!
Hai Yin and the others' expressions changed drastically!
"What the hell is that thing? Damn! Damn it! We absolutely can't let him finish charging it up—I have an extremely bad feeling about this!"
"Everyone, attack together! Interrupt them!"
Although they didn't know what kind of trick Xiao Chuihuo was pulling, any technique requiring such immense energy to unleash definitely couldn't be a good thing!
The Divine Army went all out, attacking the Flame Dragon God Emperor without regard for their own safety!
They tried to interrupt the spellcasting!
However, a bloody sea came crashing in, slamming directly into the Eight-Armed Demon God. The red-furred monster that Wang Zong had transformed into was already completely berserk!
On the other side, Liu Qiutian also controlled a torrent of sword lights and blade shadows, slashing at the Muscle Giant, buying time for Xiao Chuihuo!
The Ten-Star Beast charged in, biting recklessly, and the Flame Dragon God Emperor even split off two more arms to block the Ten-Star Beast!
As time passed, the Thermonuclear Core grew smaller and smaller, shrinking to a diameter of ten kilometers!
It completely stopped emitting light, and didn't even radiate any temperature!
Yet its aura grew more terrifying by the moment. Space creaked and groaned, and Xiao Chuihuo's body began to tremble!
His expression was pained, but his eyes burned with fervor as he looked up at the Thermonuclear Core!
"Let it succeed!"
The energy demand skyrocketed again. Everyone in the Eastern Divine Myth was nearly drained dry. Freya even paused her supply to others, channeling everything to Xiao Chuihuo!
Though she didn't know what they were doing, healing was all that mattered!
At this moment, outside Giant Wave City, countless gazes were fixed on that Thermonuclear Core, all somewhat bewildered!
What was Xiao Chuihuo doing?
But Yu Gen straightened his body, his expression grave. Noah narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
Even Black God, who stood in the Dimensional Gap watching the spectacle, was eerily quiet, staring at the Thermonuclear Core with a solemn expression!
"This old man... what ambition. He really dares to think like that? If he can pull it off..."
Chong Feiyu tilted her head to look at Black God. "What do you mean? Is that Thermonuclear Core really that powerful?"
She couldn't really tell...
At this moment, Yakeli, who had come to support from Jiangnan's side, hadn't stopped the entire way. He had managed to rush over here!
From a distance, he could see the Flame Dragon God Emperor and the Eight-Armed Demon God on the battlefield!
"Sss—" (｡･ˇ益ˇ･｡:) "What kind of mess is this? Good thing the battle hasn't collapsed yet. I'm not too late!"
"Hang in there! I'm coming!"
Yakeli accelerated once more, charging straight toward the battlefield!
Just then, the white Thermonuclear Core seemed to undergo another transformation, its diameter suddenly shrinking from ten kilometers to a mere ten centimeters!
About the size of a mooncake!
Xiao Chuihuo finally stopped holding the Thermonuclear Core aloft. Instead, he pressed it against his chest, still trying to compress it further!
The Flame Dragon God Emperor's massive body began to crack continuously, as if about to collapse!
Even Zhao Dezhu and Ye Zhenguo were shocked. Feeling it up close made the thing's terror even more palpable!
What in the world had Old Xiao created?
Xiao Chuihuo said with difficulty, "Everyone, activate virtualization soon. I can't control this thing yet—it won't distinguish friend from foe!"
Everyone shuddered violently. Lord Xiao couldn't even control it?
Sss—
By now, the Thermonuclear Core had become colorless, silently floating in the starry sky as if no space could bear its weight...
Xiao Chuihuo, still trying to compress it, suddenly jolted. The Flame Dragon God Emperor began to collapse and lose control!
The Eight-Armed Demon God and the Muscle Giant had already broken through the human blockade and charged in!
They raised their Eternal Divine Swords, swinging them at the Thermonuclear Core!
A hint of helplessness flashed in Xiao Chuihuo's eyes. Was this the limit?
But... it was enough!
Xiao Chuihuo completely released his hold on the Thermonuclear Core. A solemn voice rang out across the starry sky!
"Thermonuclear Core Creation • Grand Annihilation!"
Disturbed by a tiny amount of energy, the Thermonuclear Core suddenly broke its own equilibrium!
It exploded!
The starry sky was instantly illuminated by an extremely blazing white light. The void imaging showed a field of pure white!
At this moment, the exploding Thermonuclear Core became the brightest existence in the entire Creation Great Ruins!
Even outside the Creation Great Ruins, one could notice the white point of light flaring up!
"Boom!"
The Flame Dragon God Emperor, being the closest, was instantly torn into nothingness. Where the blazing white light enveloped, the temperature instantly approached the Planck temperature limit!
*Approached*, not reached!
The Planck temperature is the highest temperature in the universe, reached in the first unit of Planck time during the Big Bang!
After the universe was born, the Planck temperature could no longer be achieved, because no one could create another universe within this one!
Even Zhong Yingxue's Annihilation Halo, learned from absorbing the Blazing Sun Heart, only approached the Planck temperature!
Surpassing the Planck temperature was completely impossible!
The laws of the universe did not allow it!
But Xiao Chuihuo's Thermonuclear Core Creation was not just a simple energy explosion!
He was simulating the process of the Big Bang, thereby creating the highest temperature in the universe!
That continuously compressed Thermonuclear Core was the singularity Xiao Chuihuo was trying to shape!
This was the only way Xiao Chuihuo could think of to reach the pinnacle!
So he went to the Thermonuclear Star Domain, that ancient star domain that had barely cooled down since the birth of the universe!
There, he probed the secrets of the universe's birth!
However, with Xiao Chuihuo's current strength, he couldn't fully create a singularity and unleash an unprecedented Big Bang!
But he had found a thread, using his unique method to simulate the process!
Though crude, though not quite right, thankfully, he had done it!
The Thermonuclear Core explosion was the highest temperature the Creation Great Ruins had ever seen since its birth!
The Eight-Armed Demon God, being the closest, was almost instantly vaporized by the high temperature without any resistance. All Eternal Divine artifacts disintegrated!
The Ten-Star Beast melted in the blazing white light!
At such temperatures, matter and energy became meaningless. Though it lasted only an instant, that was enough!
The massive Muscle Giant was carbonized into charcoal in an instant, and then even the charcoal was burned into nothingness!
No matter how strong the regeneration ability, it couldn't withstand the Thermonuclear Core explosion!
Space expanded, annihilated, collapsed. Everything seemed to lose meaning—a process from existence to non-existence, and from non-existence to existence once more!
Countless Sequence contestants were erased in that instant of extreme heat, not even knowing how they died!
Even the Eastern Divine Myth Domain was directly evaporated into nothingness!
Fortunately, the humans had all activated virtualization; otherwise, they would have died along with everything!
The Thermonuclear Core explosion spread in all directions at faster-than-light speed, radiating outward!
Yakeli, who was still rushing to the battlefield, saw an extremely bright white light erupt from the battlefield before he even arrived. In an instant, he couldn't see anything!
He quickly shielded his eyes with his hand, but felt an unparalleled intense pain all over his body, as if he was being burned!
This temperature was no longer something Yakeli at his current level could absorb!
"What the hell? What's going on? Virtualize!"
Even from such a distance, he could still feel the terrifying power of the Thermonuclear Core!
The white light faded. The battlefield was a void, the sky clear. All matter had been vaporized into nothingness by the terrifying high temperature in an instant!
The starry sky was deathly silent—truly a Grand Annihilation!
The Divine Army was nearly completely obliterated, almost erased from existence entirely!
Nothing could survive the Thermonuclear Core explosion. The Eight-Armed Demon God, the Muscle Giant—all gone!
Perhaps Xiao Chuihuo's move wouldn't have had such great power or such a wide radiation range originally!
But unfortunately, this move triggered a hundredfold critical hit from the Strongman Pill, combined with the boost from the Green Stick!
It pushed the power of the Thermonuclear Core explosion to its absolute peak!
Even after the explosion had passed, an unimaginably high temperature still filled the starry sky, radiating outward, slowly cooling!
Outside the explosion range, shattered stars had been melted into a molten state, forming a ring!
Inside the ring, there were no signs of life!
And this was the scene captured by the void imaging after the Thermonuclear Core explosion!
The Divine Army now had fewer than 100,000 Sequence contestants left, all severely injured!
They had only survived because they were at the edge of the battlefield, outside the explosion range during the Thermonuclear Core blast!
But the intense temperature radiation still left them gravely wounded, barely clinging to life!
In the void, Xiao Chuihuo, Zhao Dezhu, and the others emerged one by one from virtualization!
All stared in shock at the pristine battlefield, feeling the lingering high temperature in the starry sky!
Zhao Dezhu was dumbfounded: Σ(°┏△┓°|||) "Is... is this really the battlefield from before? Where are the people? Where's the army?"
Wang Dalei's scalp went numb:
(｡･ˇ┏﹏┓ˇ･｡) "What... what happened in that instant?"
Xiao Chuihuo was leaning on his knees, breathing heavily. Even he was astonished by the destruction he had caused. Could the hundredfold critical hit really amplify the Thermonuclear Core explosion's power to such a terrifying degree?
At this moment, Xiao Chuihuo's eyes were filled with exhaustion:
"People? They've all turned into points. There are still a few small fries left—you guys go clean them up. I need to rest. Can't fight anymore."
As he spoke, he shook the Life Tablet on his wrist.
Wang Zong's mouth twitched. So this is what you meant by settling it with one blow?
That was way too damn fierce! I fought from start to finish, and I still can't match that one blast of yours?
"Let's go! Time to clean up the battlefield. It's not over yet. Come on!"
The humans organized another attack, charging at the remaining survivors of the Divine Army!
Xiao Chuihuo, however, propped his chin on his hand, staring at the battlefield after the Thermonuclear Core explosion, lost in thought!
There was some dissatisfaction in his eyes. He muttered incessantly: "No, that's not right... It shouldn't have been like this. Why was it just annihilation? There should have been something else. What creation? All I did was destroy the world..."
"Is there something I didn't understand correctly? Or did I go in the wrong direction?"
Xiao Chuihuo stood there, sinking into deep thought. That strike, though effective, didn't satisfy him, because it didn't achieve the effect he had envisioned!
When Yakeli came back from virtualization and saw the humans already beginning to clean up the battlefield, he was completely stunned!
"Didn't you say the situation was critical? Do you really need support?"
They blew everything away in one move!
At this moment, outside Giant Wave City, everyone stared at the screen in absolute silence...
