Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent

Heavenly Emperor Miao Zhuan piloted the Luminous Ark, while Li Pin stood on the deck, surveying the surroundings.

Wherever he looked, dazzling beams of light streaked across the sky.

But unlike ordinary light, these luminous trails in the Astral World's core layer had mass.

Each beam weighed down on ordinary Astral Gods like a colossal mountain, forcing them to exert every ounce of their strength just to resist. Only then could they barely survive in this harsh environment.

For weaker Astral Gods, the sheer pressure of the light would crush their Divine Bodies the moment they stepped into the core layer, like dropping a mortal onto a planet with atmospheric pressure a million times greater than normal

Yet to Li Pin, this oppressive force was nothing.

He stood motionless on the deck, his perception cutting through space, matter, and energy to observe both the inner and outer layers of the Astral World.

Thanks to his speed advantage, he caught sight of many things along the way.

Countless Astral Gods huddled in cramped hideaways, sealing themselves off and suppressing their energy signatures to near-mortal levels, all to evade the Eternal Oblivion Disaster.

Sacred Monarchs, mighty as they were, had shrunk their Divine Forms down to mere hundreds of li in size. Even so, they still shielded millions, sometimes tens of millions, of desperate souls.

Meanwhile, Astral Gods consumed by despair and madness rampaged, slaughtering indiscriminately. Some hidden survivors retaliated in response to their violence, only to be dragged into the same Eternal Oblivion.

Scene after scene of tragedy unfolded before his eyes.
