Chapter 14: A Dreamlike Warscape

----------------------

(A/N: Y'all probably can't get enough of my great sound effects.)

---------

The already feeble ground was on its last feet as an eldritch draconic foot smashed into the earth, rupturing it as fissures spindled and spread throughout the already crumbling landscape. Godzilla Earth swatted a flying swordsman out of the sky with the flick of its tree-like tail, stepping through Cultivator Camps like a small child on ant hills.

Countless Dao Spells and Techniques peppered the titanic being harmlessly as it snorted in absolute disdain.

"Giant-Crushing Earth God Fist!"

A bulky ripped elderly man with fierce mud-brown eyes and twisted scars across his face let loose a roar that seemed to part the clouds as Fist Qi concentrated, Fate Palaces billowing in a show of absolute power as from his fist, the silhouette of a Giant humanoid of ethereal Earth appearing.

From the ground below, cracked rubble and rock formed a fist the size of a small mountain, an emerald glow bursting from between its seams as it blasted through the sky, straight for Godzilla.

"Taste my Blue Hells Flame Sword!"

A wilted lanky armed elder with a bulky obsidian tassel and eyes that seemed to burn like fiery blue stoves raised his wrinkled arms as cascades of heat exploded out, combusting the very air around him in embers of azure.

Dao Runes began to fragment and gather as his forehead trickled with sweat. And with a courageous yell too, this elder raised his hands to the sky as an indescribable sword made from the pue fires of Blue Hell exploded into existence, it's sharp tip seemingly causing the sky to warp as flames billowed out.

"Now go!"

He hurled forwards and the city-slicing blade of fire rocketed straight, a trail of acrid blue miasma in its path.

*WAKPATROOM!!!!*

An explosion of burning blue magma seemed to envelop Godzilla's chest as the fire roared ever magnificently, those tongues attempting to quench the King Of Monsters very life. The boulders that had made up the fist had crumbled or burnt away from the joint attack, yet the draconic beast had not moved an inch.

Growling a little, Godzilla shook about in annoyance as the fires were quenched out of existence.

"H-how!? Those flames can even injure someone at the Star-Plucking Cultivator!" Casting his robes back, the lanky armed elder's hands held globes of azure flames.

But then they noticed something about the gigantic monster they were fighting. Godzilla Earth opened its enormous maws as from within, electromagnetic waves began to gather. Static electricity began to crackle as the cultivators felt their hair stand up as an incredible electrifying pressure came over them.

Along its spine, jolting volts of pure electricity gathered and shook, a stray arc frying a cultivator to crisp, causing the poor soul to plummet down to the broken apocalypse down below, body smoking. In a myriad of colors, even more lightning began to gather, forming a giant deadly field of coursing energy formed as the elders in the sky shot back.

"Retreat! This power…. We are no match for this beast!"

Yelling orders gruffly, the muscular elder clapped his hands together as behind him, a life wheel made from hardened steel blasted and earth particles began to gather about. Blood burned and determination filled the man's face as a powerful technique was used.

"Virtuous Paragon Merit Law: Petrified Millenia Guardian Gate!"

*VWOOM!!!*

From below the ground, rose a giant ancient doorway made from rock-hard earth and seemingly glazed in limestone. It was vast and insurmountable, a head taller than even the Shattered Earth Temple opposite of it. Emerald Dao Runes began to fly about as a giant terracotta army took shape from the rubble, flying into the air with their swords, spears and shields, eyes glowing with earthly power as they assumed formation before the gate.

"You will not step a foot into our Temple no matter what! This is my greatest technique! Enough to stop the blow of a Go-!!!"

But before he could even finish, to his horror, the stone head of a bearded terracotta soldier flew past his head as the seemingly insurmountable Gate decayed to a field of dust before his very eyes. A figure so fast and nimble suddenly appeared above him as his eyes jerked up.

"My name is Kamaboko Gonpaichiro. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

'????' The Shattered Earth Temple Elder widened his eyes in confusion.

*WaWOOOM???*

<Corna: Hellfire>

A warping almost moaning growl so wretched and explosive that it caused an experienced cultivator to shiver. And then he saw them. The fiery rearing jaws of the devil closing in on him, as a burning sandal planted into his jaw.

He felt his bones bend and skin sear as devilish flames that seemed to saute his very soul engulfed him. The powerful kick continued on forwards as his face crinkled, a solid layer of earth attempting to push it back, to no avail.

*Watoom!!!!*

His upper body snapped back as red blood spat from his face, his body rocketing into the ground in a mass of hurling explosive hot fire as a burning firestorm blossomed outwards.

Grinding into the ground, the Shattered Earth Temple Elder gave another rage-filled roar as he shook off the blow, quadricep tensing and pulsing as he smashed off of the distorted ground and back into the sky, giant vines of earth coursing around him as he did.

Blood spilled from his orifices and his flesh was burnt and charred, but he still carried forwards.

With no hesitation, a ruthless lion-puncturing punch blasted towards the mysterious figure he'd just been kicked by. It was a simple and straight attack, deadly with a precision that complimented the Elders seasoned self.

*Crack!*

<Substitution Jutsu>

It arrived in the figure's gut… At least it should have. In less than a millisecond, a substitution had happened. A cloud of grey smoke almost indistinguishable within the dusted wasteland ploomed as his fist turned a sizable rather well-cut log to nothing, his fist coursing through it as if it was paper mache.

Immediately, honed on countless hours of instinct, he whirled around, giant spear-like boulders shooting out and viciously serrating… Through air once more.

Where!?

It was usually logical to think that when one disappeared, they would appear behind the enemy to deliver the finishing blow. At least that was how it usually was in this world of Cultivation. Sadly for them, Yun Xie wasn't exactly one who followed their fighting logic. He'd never been trained or anything.

Yun Xie smirked widely as his arm stretched back and inflated, steam rising through the air as he did so, a shade of back seemed to take color. His fist seemed to become bigger and bigger, his hair seemingly glowing golden-white like the blazing sun.

<Amplify x5>

<Gear 5: Sun God Nika>

<Gomu Gomu No Bajrang Gun>

The Shattered Earth Temple Elder widened his eyes as the fist the size of an island appeared in view. Yun Xie's arm stretched like rubber, beyond the confines of his body as it delivered upon the Old Earth-Wielding Man.

*WABOOOM!!!!*

This time, there was no getting back up.

Flattened like a car on a hydraulic presser, the force of Haki radiated through the very core of the Elder's being as he felt himself endlessly drilled down into the earth in which he derived his powers from, the infinite embrace of dirt smothering him.

But that was not the end of it…. For behind, the behemoth known as Godzilla Earth let loose a heaven-shaking roar as it finally let loose its attack….

*WATZWUOOOOM!!!!!!*

A ray of purple-blue energy so condensed and deadly scissored throughout as a giant colorful storm of lightning lit the sky above them. Rows upon rows of city-turning explosions rattled the area as the walls of the Shattered Earth Temple, kingdom of one of the Era's strongest Virtuous Paragon's began to groan.

At least, that was what everyone else thought….
