Boom!
Xuanji Holy Lord Baili returned to Lu Xuan's side, her presence a silent testament to her unwavering trust.
Lu Xuan spoke, his voice calm, yet each word resonated with the weight of a crashing cosmos. “Eerie cannot suppress righteousness!”
With every syllable, the very fabric of the Great Dao seemed to roar. The Eerie Lord’s body, impossibly, began to rupture, black blood splattering violently from within him!
Everyone stared, utterly stunned. It was too shocking! Even a powerhouse like the Eerie Lord, who had schemed for endless ages, was no match for Sir!
Lu Xuan continued his advance towards the Eerie Lord. Each step he took was imbued with the power of the River of Time, effortlessly dismantling the Eerie Plateau.
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
The Eerie Plateau crumbled, tearing itself apart.
The Eerie Lord roared in despair, “No! No…”
His hands frantically wove spiritual seals, desperate to halt the destruction. But it was useless. Utterly useless. The sky-spanning black runes dimmed in an instant, the very source of power the Eerie Lord had prided himself on now withered and depleted.
He was enraged! A powerless, impotent fury!
In the next breath, unwilling to remain passive, the Eerie Lord unleashed a fragmented River of Time, sending it hurtling towards Lu Xuan.
Time’s power swept across the Star Sea, and countless beings instantly found their hair turning white. It was terrifying!
But Lu Xuan merely flicked his sleeve, and another River of Time materialized, descending like a celestial waterfall, hanging inverted across the heavens.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The two Rivers of Time collided, intertwining with each other.
The Eerie Lord suddenly shrieked, his face once again contorted in terror. He had lost control of his fragmented River of Time! The two Rivers of Time began to reassemble themselves, now hovering above Lu Xuan’s head. With every step Lu Xuan took, a ripple of the River of Time surged forth.
Ye Chen gasped in shock, “Just as I thought! Master is the Master of the River of Time! He comes from the River of Time itself!”
The Eerie Lord gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot with fury. Damn it! He genuinely wanted to lash out! Watching Lu Xuan grow stronger and stronger, he was utterly helpless.
Lu Xuan looked down at the Eerie Lord with cold disdain, scoffing, “Still struggling, you insignificant being?”
The Eerie Lord suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. “Since you force my hand, don’t blame me for dragging you down with me! Today, both of us shall bleed across the Eerie Plateau!” His voice, imbued with the power of time, reverberated across the entire Fallen Star Sea, deafening all who heard it. This was an act of utter contempt towards the Eerie Lord, and everyone felt their blood boil in response.
“Hehehehe…”
The Eerie Lord clutched his bleeding chest, a sinister smile twisting his lips. “Then let’s all be annihilated together!” He pointed towards the distant Dark Void. “Last life, after your demise, the Dark Void appeared. The Dark Void is the graveyard of the Star Sea; all beings experience birth, aging, sickness, and death, and the Star Sea too has its cycles of prosperity and decay.”
“A long time ago, I had Guixuan shoot an arrow from the First Star Ring towards the Dark Void. If I’m not mistaken, even though I couldn’t pinpoint the exact location of the Primordial Realm, that arrow ultimately pierced through it, didn’t it?”
Lu Xuan remained silent. Indeed, it was true. The Eerie Power in the Southern Barrens and Eastern Barrens, originating from beyond this realm, had indeed been shot from the First Star Ring!
Ye Chen was utterly astonished. This old geezer had laid out such an extensive scheme!
The Eerie Lord continued, “That arrow contained my Heavenly God Realm power, like a seed merely waiting to blossom. It seems today it will finally bear its bitter fruit… Hehehehe, Lu Xuan, this is what you chose!”
As his voice fell, the Eerie Lord slammed his palm down. In a thunderous instant, the entire Fallen Star Sea underwent a drastic transformation.
“Boom!”
“Crack!”
The First Star Ring suddenly exploded, transforming into countless fragments of divine light. The immense energy created a swirling vortex within the First Star Ring. And at the same time, the eerie power of that ancient arrow reappeared, now pointing from the First Star Ring directly towards the Dark Void!
Chen Changsheng’s face changed dramatically. He looked at Lu Xuan. “Master, he intends to destroy the entire Fallen Star Sea!”
Everyone was shocked! They knew that the power of annihilation would devour the entire Fallen Star Sea! All would die! Perhaps only Sir would survive!
At this moment, the Heavenly Dao Avatar of the Primordial Realm, Xiao Qing, was also awakened. She looked around in a daze, then turned to Lu Xuan. “Lu Xuan…”
Now, with the First Star Ring shattered, a ‘potential difference’ had been created. The Great Dao also had its potential! This potential would flow from high to low! In other words, an annihilation storm would soon sweep across the Fallen Star Sea. It would completely collapse. The entire Fallen Star Sea would be transformed into the Dark Void!
“Hahahahaha!”
The Eerie Lord laughed wildly. “Lu Xuan, you still have a chance to regret this.”
Lu Xuan scoffed, saying nothing, simply watching the Eerie Lord calmly.
The Eerie Lord gritted his teeth. “Then let’s die together!”
Instantly, all living beings knelt before Lu Xuan, begging for salvation.
“Sir, please save us!”
“Sir, don’t abandon us!”
“Sir! Sir…”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lu Xuan watched as the Fallen Star Sea shattered. In but a mere instant, under the augmentation of Heavenly God Realm power, the entire Fallen Star Sea completely fragmented, turning into nothingness. Apart from the scattered fragments of the Eerie Plateau, only the Dark Void remained.
Lu Xuan’s lips curved into a slight smile.
The Eerie Lord suddenly stared at Lu Xuan’s abdomen, shouting, “No, no! No!!!”
To his horror, a terrifying black hole had appeared in Lu Xuan’s abdomen, connecting directly with the Dark Void outside!
The Eerie Lord’s face was filled with disbelief. “Why? Why?!”
Lu Xuan spoke calmly, “I am the Dark Void, the Dark Void is me!”
As his voice fell, Lu Xuan’s will became eternal! He became the Master of the Fallen Star Sea! The true master! Even more powerful than in his previous life!
“Boom!”
In a single thought, Lu Xuan directly created a brand new Star Sea. All living beings, who had been on the brink of annihilation, were now alive and well!
The Eerie Lord knelt before Lu Xuan, utterly distraught. “I lost. You anticipated all these possibilities in your previous life, didn’t you?”
Lu Xuan smiled, but said nothing.
He pressed his palm down!
“Boom!”
The Eerie Lord’s transformed figure began to vanish. A sinister smile suddenly appeared on his face. “Lu Xuan, you know this is just the beginning, don’t you? After I die, even stronger emissaries will descend!”
As his voice faded, everyone was stunned. What did he mean? The Eerie Lord was already a Heavenly God Realm powerhouse, second only to one in the Fallen Star Sea. Were there even stronger beings above him?
The Eerie Lord looked at the myriad beings of the Star Sea with self-mockery, laughing loudly. “I gave Lu Xuan a choice. If you had cooperated with me, I could have guaranteed this Star Sea would survive at least this epoch. But if I die, you will have completely offended the Eerie Domain.”
Eerie Domain! Could it be a world beyond the Fallen Star Sea?
The Eerie Lord scoffed, his body burning away. “Lowly ants, you think Heavenly God is the limit of this world. If Lu Xuan hadn’t burned himself in his previous life to resist a great catastrophe for you, and hadn’t orchestrated this terrifying reincarnation, how would any of you even exist?”
Speaking of which, the Eerie Lord looked at Lu Xuan with a hint of curiosity. “Lu Xuan, I don’t understand. You aren’t a so-called Innate Being, completely different from fools like Ancient Ancestor Mei. You are also an outsider to this Star Sea. Why do you choose to protect it?”
