Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 235 The Battle to Annihilate Heaven

"arrive."

The figure of "No Thief Under Heaven" streaked across the sky and stopped above a bustling city.

The city beneath our feet is none other than the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire—Heavenly Dou City.

The distance from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to Heaven Dou City is only a few hundred miles.

In the current context of a world without thieves, it's only a matter of a few breaths.

His gaze swept across Tiandou City like lightning.

The walls of Tiandou City stand tall, their blue bricks bearing the marks of time, yet they remain sturdy.

The city streets are crisscrossed, bustling with traffic, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, horses' hooves, and string and wind instruments blend together to create a noisy and prosperous scene.

At the market, well-dressed young noblemen picked and chose among the rare and exotic goods on the stalls.

The sounds of clinking glasses and exchanging toasts could be faintly heard from afar in the restaurant, and the aroma of wine seemed to drift to the clouds.

Everything was completely different from what he had seen along the way.

From the moment Tianxia Wuzei stepped into the territory of the Tiandou Empire, all he saw were ruins and corpses of starving people.

Ninety-nine percent of the cities were devastated by the ongoing war, leaving civilians emaciated and with vacant eyes.

They could even fight over half a piece of moldy bread.

Even worse, under the oppression of Soul Masters and driven by hunger, some have staged the human tragedy of exchanging children to eat.

Those cities that once symbolized order are now nothing but despairing cries and lifeless ruins.

But Tian Dou City is like a pearl that has been deliberately protected.

The war did not destroy it; instead, it made it even more "prosperous".

The procurement of military supplies, the hoarding by nobles, and the plundering of subordinate towns have made the upper class of this capital city live more comfortably than ever before.

"Ha, people really are different!"

The voice in "No Thieves Under Heaven" reveals no emotion, only the calm of an icy lake.

But beneath that calm lies the deepest mockery of the world.

War only devours the flesh and blood of the weak; those high-ranking Soul Masters and nobles are always the rule-makers and beneficiaries.

This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, a world that is real, cruel, and brutally naked.

But the fact that there were no thieves in the world made no difference to this.

In such a world, weakness is the original sin.

Immediately, his gaze pierced through the layers of buildings and landed on the magnificent palace.

Then, a chilling killing intent quietly spread out.

Even before arriving in Tiandou City, Tianxia Wuzei had already activated the Wind Domain.

The invisible currents of air became his eyes and ears, allowing him to perceive every corner and every movement within the palace.

Deep within the palace, the scent of ambergris mingled with suggestive breaths.

Emperor Xueye, the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

At this moment, he is shirtless, frolicking with several concubines under the brocade quilt.

His face was flushed with fascination, showing no trace of the urgency of the impending doom of the nation.

Time has etched wrinkles on his face, but the desire in his eyes burns brighter than that of a young man.

"Heh, you certainly know how to enjoy yourself." A cold smile curled at the corner of Tianxia Wuzei's lips.

He naturally understood Emperor Xueye's helplessness.

Qian Renxue had been lurking under the guise of Xue Qinghe for many years, all in order to ascend to the position of Crown Prince.

All the princes, except for the incompetent Avalanche, were eliminated one by one.

While he still had the ability, Emperor Xueye could only hope to sow some dragon seeds in his old age, so as to leave a possible continuation for the empire.

But this helplessness became a kind of irony in the eyes of the thieves-free world.

"You think you've got me cornered? You think you've got the Spirit Empire cornered?"

He let out a cold laugh, which echoed high in the sky, yet strangely, it didn't reach anyone's ears.

"Even at this point, you still have the mind to do this kind of thing, it's really... hopeless."

He had long been aware of the Heavenly Dou Empire's plans.

Using Ye Lingling's mother's life to coerce Ye Lingling into betraying her did indeed cause some trouble.

But so what?
Faced with absolute power, these schemes and tricks are beneath contempt.

Moreover, the current Heavenly Dou Empire is already outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

The three so-called powerful instructors, all at the Contra-level, also died on the eastern battlefield. Now, the remaining so-called strongmen of the Heavenly Dou Empire are nothing but clowns.

Looking across the entire empire, not even a single Title Douluo could be found.

It can be considered the weakest of all the hostile forces of the Martial Soul Empire.

Dealing with such an opponent, Tianxia Wuzei (a fictional character) couldn't muster even the slightest interest.

"Then... just disappear!"

His voice suddenly turned cold, like the cold wind of December sweeping across a frozen lake.

The moment the words fell, his right hand slowly rose, his five fingers slightly spread, and then he pressed down sharply!
hum!
A muffled roar seemed to echo between heaven and earth, but it was suppressed in the void by some invisible force.

A large handprint materialized beneath his palm.

As it falls, it rises against the wind!
In the blink of an eye, it blotted out the sky!
Wherever it passes, the air is instantly sucked out, creating a huge vacuum zone.

The sky darkened without warning.

The once clear sky was completely obscured by that giant handprint, as if the entire firmament had collapsed.

Inside Tiandou City, nobles were laughing and joking, vendors were hawking their wares along the streets, and soldiers were patrolling...

Everyone looked up subconsciously.

Time seemed to stand still when the massive handprint, imbued with the power to destroy the world, came into view.

First, extreme fear gripped their hearts, rendering them unable to even scream.

Immediately following this is the physiological instinctive reaction.

Many people's legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground, their crotches instantly becoming wet and emitting a foul odor.

The giant handprint fell at an extremely fast speed, so fast that no one had time to react.

Even before it had fully landed, a terrifying gale emanated from beneath its palm.

The gale was like countless invisible blades, slicing through the city's magnificent buildings and towering towers as easily as cutting tofu!
Wood chips, bricks, and stones, mixed with screams, were swept high into the air by the gale, only to be instantly crushed into dust.

Even a thousand meters above the ground, the overwhelming pressure caused the entire Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace to tremble violently.

The palace walls, forged from hard rock and refined iron, began to crack and collapse like paper.

The magnificent palace beams groaned under the weight of the burden.
One by one, the thick stone pillars snapped, completely burying the extravagance and chaos within the palace.

The palace where the Great Emperor Xueye resided was the first to be affected.

Brocade quilts, imperial concubines, imperial bed...

Along with the emperor who was still indulging in pleasure, they were instantly crushed into mincemeat under the terrifying pressure.

After all, these were all Soul Masters at levels 50 or 60, and they simply couldn't withstand this kind of pressure.

The collapse of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace served as a signal, igniting despair throughout Heavenly Dou City.

"Run!"

Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the silence.

The people inside the city suddenly realized what was happening and began to flee out of the city like madmen.

Some people hurriedly summoned their martial spirits, trying to spread their wings and fly, but were directly pressed to the ground by the invisible pressure emanating from the giant handprint, like swatting flies.

The sound of bones shattering echoed throughout, turning into clumps of blurred flesh and blood.

Some people crawled into the secret passage that had been dug in advance, but only felt the ground beneath their feet trembling violently.

Soil kept falling from above, and the secret passage collapsed completely in an instant, burying the people inside in darkness forever.

Many more people trampled each other on the crowded streets, running desperately.

But their speed seemed so laughable and so insignificant in the face of that ever-falling giant handprint.

Rumble!
When the giant handprint finally touched the ground, a deafening explosion rang out.

Centered on the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, the entire Heavenly Dou City seemed to have been erased by an invisible eraser.

Houses, streets, city walls, and everything else vanished the moment they touched.

High in the sky, Tianxia Wuzei slowly withdrew his hand.

The colossal handprint that blotted out the sky vanished as if it had never existed, leaving only the torn clouds, revealing an irregular hole in the sunlight.

He glanced down at the bottomless handprint, his eyes showing no emotion, as if he had merely crushed a group of ants.

"The Heavenly Struggle... will end."

After finishing all this, Wu Zetian was about to leave when a golden figure blocked his way.

He had already spotted the approaching people, but destroying the Heaven Dou Empire wouldn't take much time.

"Sister Xue'er, are you here to persuade me too?"
