He began frantically drawing upon the endless Shura Yin Heart Power from the abyss beneath the earth, pouring it all into the dark vortex within his body! His body began to swell and twist, and a terrifying aura far surpassing his previous power erupted with a deafening roar!
"Hehehe... If we can't have it, let's destroy it together!"
The Ferryman, who had abandoned his identity as a jailer, let out a frenzied, twisted roar. He tore apart his own body of laws, allowing the endless Shura Yin Heart power to pour in!
His body expanded rapidly, bones piercing through and intertwining with shadows, instantly transforming into a terrifying demon god thousands of feet tall, half bone and half shadow. That pressure was no longer a simple suppression, but a force that threatened to drag this entire world into an abyss of destruction; its aura was infinitely close to the true Martial Venerable Realm!
The entire Asura Blood Sea boiled, and the viscous blood surged into the sky, transforming into a wailing giant wave.
Amidst this apocalyptic scene, a cold figure stepped out.
Su Linglong's icy eyes flashed with murderous intent. Without making any move, an invisible domain had already quietly enveloped the entire island.
"Domain - Ice Soul Suppression!"
Within that domain, everything seemed to be stripped of its warmth and emotion; even the wildly flowing laws of space became stagnant. The demon god's ever-increasing aura also faltered! Her cultivation after her rebirth was already at the peak of the seventh level of Martial Grandmaster!
At the same time, a soft emerald green light shone.
Lin Qingxia slowly awoke, her long, snow-white hair dancing in the murderous aura, untouched by dust. Although the life feedback from the World Tree Runes hadn't fully restored her strength, it had stabilized her life force. Looking at the raging demonic flames before her, she showed no fear. She formed hand seals, and countless ice crystals imbued with pure life force appeared out of thin air, flowing into Xiao Han's body like weary birds returning to their nests, rapidly repairing his meridians and bones damaged by the conflict of laws.
As the warm current passed by, Xiao Han felt a sense of lightness throughout his body, and his injuries were completely healed. His newly grown right arm, reshaped by the life ice crystals, was not only completely intact, but also had a faint emerald green fluorescence flowing beneath his skin, greatly increasing his resistance to evil forces.
He stood up and stood side by side with Su Linglong and Lin Qingxia, forming a triangular battle formation in perfect harmony, to face the fallen demon god.
"Haha! Come, you ants! Witness the birth of a new god!" The demon god, transformed from the Ferryman, laughed wildly and swung his giant claw.
In the endless sea of blood, tens of thousands of Blood Fiend Asuras, formed from the vengeful spirits of gods and demons, roared and rushed out of the sea, like a blood-red tide, surging towards the three people in the center of the island.
A great war is about to break out!
"Good timing!"
Xiao Han let out a long roar, advancing instead of retreating. The [Netherworld Chaos Dragon Flame] rose in his palm, transforming into a black-gold fire dragon, and he clashed head-on with it!
Su Linglong's [Ice Soul Suppression] domain became the absolute nemesis of these Blood Fiend Asuras. Her eyes were cold, and wherever her gaze passed, those fearless Asuras seemed to be paused, their souls and bodies frozen into ice, and then with a "bang," they turned into a sky full of ice powder.
Lin Qingxia became the most solid support. Standing at the center of the battle, her life ice crystals flowed endlessly, not only providing continuous healing for Xiao Han and Su Linglong, but also transforming into ice walls and vines to precisely intercept any stragglers, keeping the battlefield under orderly control.
The three worked together flawlessly, and for a time they were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle against the endless army of Asuras.
"That's interesting, but that's all for now!" The demon god had clearly lost patience.
The all-consuming dark vortex on its chest suddenly accelerated, and a suction force far exceeding that before came, threatening to pull the souls of the three of them into it!
In the midst of the fierce battle, Xiao Han's pupils quietly turned into a deep black-gold. He activated the [Void-Piercing Divine Eyes] at full power, piercing through the demon god's raging energy shell and looking directly at its source.
He saw it.
At the heart of that wildly spinning vortex, the Ferryman's will was clashing violently with the Shura Yin Heart's malevolent instincts, each wanting to devour the other, yet neither able to overcome the other. This imperfect fusion resulted in an extremely unstable energy node at the core of their power, flickering like a candle in the wind!
An opportunity to break the deadlock!
With a firm resolve, Xiao Han instantly sent a divine thought into the minds of his two companions, "Qingxia, Linglong, assist me!"
No further explanation is needed.
In Su Linglong's cold eyes, a dazzling ice-blue flame instantly ignited—it was her soul burning! She concentrated all her soul power in her eyes, unleashing the strongest attack of her life!
"Phoenix Soul's Lament - Eternal Silent Gaze!"
A shockwave, invisible to the naked eye yet powerful enough to freeze the soul, silently traversed space and struck the demon god's head with pinpoint accuracy.
"Well..."
Even a soul infinitely close to that of Martial Venerable, struck by this extreme chill of the soul, inevitably caused its thoughts to pause for a fraction of a second.
Now!
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Qingxia poured the last trace of her life essence into the slowly rotating [Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul] behind Xiao Han!
Buzz!
Xiao Han's aura surged instantly! He combined the remaining power of Eternal Night, Chaos, Stars, and Asura within his body, as well as the boundless vitality poured in by Lin Qingxia, and unleashed his strongest and most insane move ever!
Creation and Annihilation: The Fall of the Eternal Night Emperor!
His left fist shone with a brilliant blue light, containing boundless hope for creation; his right fist was shrouded in dark shadows, representing ultimate destructive tyranny. He clenched his fists together and unleashed a powerful punch!
This attack was no longer a simple beam of energy, but a chaotic torrent of black and white, both opposing and unified. It seemed to transcend time and space, striking the flickering energy node in the demon god's chest with unparalleled precision!
The power of creation, like adding fuel to the fire, instantly ignited a fierce conflict between the Shura Yin Heart and the Ferryman's will!
The power of destruction amplified this small conflict billions of times!
"No--!"
The demon god let out a final, mournful, and unwilling howl. Its body exploded from the inside out, and its terrified eyes ultimately transformed into countless rays of light and shadow, vanishing into nothingness.
However, the crisis was not over.
Freed from its shackles, the Shura Yin Heart transformed into a blood-red heart, ten thousand feet in diameter, throbbing violently, hovering above the island. Having lost its target, it began indiscriminately releasing pure, world-destroying energy. Waves of blood-red ripples spread outwards, causing space to collapse and laws to annihilate wherever they passed.
The entire Shattered Star Sea will be destroyed because of this!
Xiao Han and the other two were exhausted and could only watch helplessly as the end of the world came, a deep sense of powerlessness welling up in their hearts.
At this most desperate moment.
"Sizzle--"
The distant starry sky, like a canvas, was forcibly torn apart by an invisible hand. A dazzling golden spatial rift appeared out of nowhere.
A magnificent warship, more dazzling than the stars and constructed entirely of unknown, intricate machinery and divine metal, slowly emerged from it. Its hull was engraved with mysterious runes, exuding a beauty of Order and rationality that stood in stark contrast to the chaotic sea of blood surrounding it.
A cold, emotionless electronic female voice, transmitted through some unknown technology, resounded throughout this sea of stars:
"The Order's ship of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion First Fleet is here on orders."
"A 'Shura-class' energy out of control has been detected. 'Final Containment' protocol is now in effect."
"All unrelated personnel, evacuate immediately."
