The aura of the Unknown Void came like an ink-black tide, spreading through the tiny cracks in the Realm Barrier. This power carried the terrifying rhythm of "devouring realms and dissolving everything." It was entirely different from the Ultimate Sovereign's power of dominion. It did not control or alter anything—it only corroded and annihilated, causing the laws of every realm to tremble instinctively. Xuan Fu's Myriad Realms Autonomy Talisman trembled violently, its seven-colored violet-gold radiance dimming slightly under the suppression of the void aura. He could clearly sense that the terror of the Unknown Void far surpassed the threat posed by all previous domains.
"The Void Lord is the ultimate nihilistic will beyond the realms." Lord of Balance's figure hovered within the Myriad Realms Core, his expression as solemn as iron. "He is different from the Ultimate Sovereign. The Ultimate Sovereign wants to rule the realms, while the Void Lord only wants to devour every realm and turn them into part of the Unknown Void. Their agreement must mean that they intend to use each other's power to destroy our resistance first, then divide the Myriad Realms between them."
The Void Ancestor's Power of Life and Death circulated rapidly, constructing a black-and-white curtain of light outside the Realm Barrier. "The devouring power of the Unknown Void is unstoppable. Ordinary defenses cannot withstand it at all. We must reinforce the barriers of every realm as quickly as possible while searching for the Void Lord's weakness. Otherwise, it will not be long before the Myriad Realms are devoured one by one."
Xuan Fu's Spiritual Sense spread across all the realms. Wherever the void aura passed, the small realms at the edges had already begun to collapse. Countless fragments of laws were sucked into the Unknown Void and turned into nothingness. The living beings fell into panic, causing the power of belief to fluctuate, and the light of the Myriad Realms Autonomy Talisman rose and fell with it. "We can't wait any longer!" Xuan Fu's voice spread throughout the Myriad Realms. "Guardians of every realm, activate the 'Myriad Realms Defense Array' at once! All living beings, gather your faith and pour it into the Realm Barriers! The Void Ancestor, Lord of Balance, and I will head to the edge of the Unknown Void and investigate the Void Lord's true strength!"
All the living beings of the Myriad Realms responded at once. The restorers of the Alteration Domain, the rebels of the Eternal Domain, the awakened ones of the Realm of Chaos, and countless experts from the Great Dao Worlds all urged their Origin Power into the Myriad Realms Defense Array. Array patterns intertwined between every realm, forming a colossal seven-colored curtain of light that wrapped around the Myriad Realms and resisted the erosion of the void aura. The faith of all living beings gathered like trickling streams becoming a sea, flowing along the array patterns into the Realm Barriers and making their defenses increasingly sturdy.
Xuan Fu, the Void Ancestor, and Lord of Balance transformed into three streaks of light. They passed through the Myriad Realms Defense Array and reached the edge of the Unknown Void. Space no longer existed here. There was only an endless, pitch-black void, with countless devouring runes floating within it and radiating a terrifying aura of devouring. Deep in the void, a huge Black Shadow appeared and vanished intermittently. It was none other than the Void Lord's true form, surrounded by countless remnant souls of realms he had devoured and radiating suffocating pressure.
"Xuan Fu, you really dared to come." The Void Lord's voice sounded like the void itself shattering, carrying a cold indifference. "If you know what's good for you, make the Myriad Realms submit at once. Otherwise, I will devour you one by one and turn you into nothingness."
Xuan Fu did not respond. The Myriad Realms Autonomy Talisman erupted with seven-colored violet-gold radiance, probing for the Void Lord's weakness. He could sense that although the Void Lord's devouring power was formidable, it had one fatal flaw—he could not devour living beings and powers containing intense faith. The faith of all living beings was precisely the key to restraining him.
"Void Lord, your devouring power is not flawless!" Xuan Fu urged the Myriad Realms Autonomy Talisman, condensing it into a blade of faith that slashed toward the Void Lord. "The faith of all living beings is your nemesis!"
The moment the Blade of Faith collided with the Void Lord's Black Shadow, countless devouring runes were purified, and the Black Shadow became slightly insubstantial. The Void Lord let out an angry roar, and his devouring power surged. Countless Black Tentacles extended from the void and coiled toward the three of them. Wherever the tentacles passed, even light was forcibly devoured, leaving behind pitch-black trails.
The Void Ancestor and Lord of Balance attacked simultaneously. The Power of Life and Death and the Power of Balance transformed into two sharp blades, severing the Black Tentacles that drew near. The three fought side by side, their Blade of Faith, Life-and-Death Blade, and Blade of Balance working together as they continuously attacked the Void Lord's phantom, trying to force him back. But the Void Lord's power was simply too terrifying. His devouring power poured forth without end, and the Black Tentacles regenerated after being severed. The three rapidly exhausted their strength and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
"This can't go on!" Signs of depletion appeared in Lord of Balance's Power of Balance. "The Void Lord's true body is hidden deep within the Unknown Void, beyond our reach. We have to lure him out before we can find a chance to heavily injure him!"
Xuan Fu's heart tightened. Without the slightest hesitation, he burned part of the Myriad Realms Origin. The Blade of Faith swelled dramatically and slashed toward the depths of the Unknown Void. Wherever the blade passed, countless devouring runes were purified, and the Void Lord's Black Shadow trembled violently. Clearly, the attack had enraged him. "You're courting death!" The Void Lord's devouring power surged, and the Black Shadow transformed into a colossal devouring vortex that rushed toward the three of them, intending to devour them completely.
The three of them did not meet it head-on. They turned and flew toward the Myriad Realms Defense Array. The devouring vortex pursued them relentlessly. Wherever it passed, signs of erosion appeared on the array's seven-colored curtain of light. Countless array patterns were devoured, and the barrier's defenses began to loosen. "Now!" Xuan Fu suddenly turned around. The Myriad Realms Autonomy Talisman merged with the powers of the Void Ancestor and Lord of Balance, forming a colossal "Myriad Realms Belief Cannon" that blasted toward the devouring vortex.
The instant the Belief Cannon collided with the devouring vortex, seven-colored violet-gold radiance and black devouring power annihilated each other. The colossal Energy Shockwave caused even the Unknown Void to tremble violently. The devouring vortex gradually slowed, and the aura of the Black Shadow began to weaken. Clearly, it had suffered a heavy blow. The Void Lord let out an unwilling roar. The devouring vortex rapidly contracted and retreated into the depths of the Unknown Void. "Xuan Fu, the next time we meet, I will devour the Myriad Realms!"
Xuan Fu and the other two returned to the Myriad Realms Defense Array, relief showing on their faces. But they did not relax in the slightest. Although the Void Lord had retreated, he had not suffered a fatal injury, and the Ultimate Sovereign's power of dominion was still lurking in the shadows, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
"Although the Void Lord has retreated, our crisis is far from over." Xuan Fu's expression was grave. "He reached an agreement with the Ultimate Sovereign, so they will surely join forces to attack again. We must raise the strength of the Myriad Realms as quickly as possible and find the Ultimate Power capable of restraining them."
At that moment, the Myriad Realms Origin within the Myriad Realms Core suddenly erupted with dazzling radiance. An ancient talisman emerged from the light. It was none other than the "Myriad Realms Origin Talisman." Its surface was engraved with the trajectories of the Myriad Realms' birth and contained the ultimate meaning of "the Myriad Realms share one origin and possess Endless Life." "This is the Myriad Realms Origin Talisman. It was hidden deep within the Myriad Realms Origin and would appear only when the Myriad Realms faced annihilation." The golden figure of the Primordial Ancestor appeared, satisfaction in his eyes. "With its power, you can merge the origins of every realm, reach the 'Myriad Realms Primordial' realm, and gain the strength to contend with the Void Lord and the Ultimate Sovereign."
Without the slightest hesitation, Xuan Fu merged the Myriad Realms Origin Talisman into his Talisman Path Core. The radiance erupting from the talisman fused with the Myriad Realms Origin, and the Origin Power of countless realms flowed along the patterns of the Myriad Realms Defense Array into his body. Xuan Fu's talisman body began a completely new transformation. Countless Myriad Realms runes surfaced on the seven-colored violet-gold crystal, radiating the ultimate rhythm of the "Myriad Realms Primordial." His strength was rapidly increasing as he advanced toward the Myriad Realms Primordial realm.
Just as Xuan Fu was about to break through, a black-violet radiance suddenly erupted at the boundary between the Unknown Void and the Myriad Realms. The figure of the Ultimate Sovereign and the Black Shadow of the Void Lord appeared simultaneously. Their power of dominion and devouring power fused together, forming a colossal black-violet energy wave that blasted toward the Myriad Realms Defense Array. "Xuan Fu, you want to break through? Not so easily!"
The instant the black-violet energy wave collided with the array's seven-colored curtain of light, countless array patterns were forcibly destroyed. The curtain's radiance rapidly dimmed, and huge cracks appeared in the barrier's defenses. Xuan Fu's breakthrough was forcibly interrupted. Cracks appeared in the seven-colored violet-gold crystal of his talisman body, and golden Talisman Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Ultimate Sovereign, Void Lord, how dare you launch a sneak attack together!" Xuan Fu roared. The Myriad Realms Autonomy Talisman and the Myriad Realms Origin Talisman merged, erupting with a colossal Defensive Barrier that blocked the black-violet energy wave's follow-up attack.
The Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord did not hesitate in the slightest. Their power of dominion and devouring power surged again, forming an even greater black-violet energy wave that blasted toward the cracks in the curtain of light. "Today, we will completely destroy the Myriad Realms!"
Xuan Fu, the Void Ancestor, and Lord of Balance burned their origins simultaneously, pouring their strength into the Defensive Barrier. The faith of all living beings erupted once more, continuously supporting the barrier. But the black-violet energy wave was simply too terrifying. The cracks in the barrier grew increasingly large, and it could completely collapse at any moment.
At this critical moment, countless pillars of Origin Power suddenly erupted from every corner of the Myriad Realms. The origins of all the realms were activated and flowed along the patterns of the Myriad Realms Defense Array into Xuan Fu's body. Xuan Fu's strength broke through in an instant, reaching the Myriad Realms Primordial realm. The seven-colored violet-gold crystal of his talisman body erupted with dazzling radiance. The Myriad Realms Autonomy Talisman and the Myriad Realms Origin Talisman merged, forming a colossal "Myriad Realms Primordial Talisman" that slashed toward the black-violet energy wave.
The instant the blade collided with the energy wave, the black-violet radiance was rapidly purified. The figures of the Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord were simultaneously forced back, their auras weakened. Xuan Fu gave them no chance to recover. The radiance of the Myriad Realms Primordial Talisman surged as he slashed toward the two of them. "Today, we end this!"
Just as the blade was about to strike the two of them, an eerie gray radiance suddenly erupted from the deepest part of the Unknown Void. This radiance belonged neither to the power of dominion nor to the power of devouring. Instead, it came from the "Chaos Domain beyond the void," carrying the ultimate rhythm of "chaos restart." Even Xuan Fu's Myriad Realms Primordial Power trembled before it.
Xuan Fu's heart tightened. He knew that the master of this radiance might be an existence even more terrifying than the Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord. And this existence seemed to intend to use the battle between the Ultimate Sovereign and the Void Lord to restart the Myriad Realms and turn every realm into chaos.
An ultimate crisis concerning the survival of the Myriad Realms and the restart of chaos had quietly descended at the edge of the Unknown Void.
