The black figure drew closer. Lin Yue's Spatial Perception clearly captured its outline: a low-tier Demon God dressed in black robes, holding a long saber wreathed in black mist. The Law of Demonic Path around him was almost tangible. Everywhere he passed, the Chaos Qi turned black, giving off a pungent, corrosive stench.
"Luohu's people really are up to no good!" Lin Yue's heart tightened. He raised the defenses of his Space Vitality Domain to their maximum while condensing ten Space Blades, aiming them at the Demon God's vital points. Kong Yu had also sensed the danger and flew to his shoulder. Its wings beat as it released a faint spatial energy, helping him track the Demon God's movements.
The Demon God stopped a hundred zhang from the valley. His icy gaze swept over the Spatial Domain, and he cackled. "I never imagined that old Pangu would protect some outsider junior. How laughable. Boy, if you know what's good for you, come out and accept your death. Otherwise, once I break this pathetic domain, I'll make sure your soul is utterly destroyed!"
Lin Yue didn't answer. He quietly regulated his breathing and infused the Space Blades with Vitality Chaos Qi. Their gleam turned pale green in an instant. Not only did their sharpness increase, but they also gained the effect of "Vitality Corrosion," which could destabilize the Law of Demonic Path. He knew he was weaker than his opponent; he could only win through his Spatial Domain and tactics.
Seeing that Lin Yue remained silent, the Demon God assumed he was afraid. He raised his saber and slashed viciously at the Spatial Domain. The black saber aura carried the Law of Destruction and shot straight toward the domain's core. The Chaos Qi along its path was torn apart, leaving a black trail behind.
"Space Folding!" Lin Yue decisively activated his domain ability, folding the space in front of him into a "barrier." The saber aura struck the folded space, its trajectory twisting instantly and veering away from the domain's core. It only grazed the edge, leaving a shallow crack. The moment it appeared, the domain's vitality energy rapidly repaired it, and it was restored in an instant.
"Hmm? Interesting." A flicker of surprise crossed the Demon God's eyes. He swung his saber again, this time unleashing a denser aura that formed a black "saber net," covering the entire Spatial Domain.
"Spatial Teleportation!" Lin Yue didn't dare take the attack head-on. He teleported himself and the Spatial Domain fifty zhang away, evading the saber net while hurling the ten Space Blades. Their gleam carried pale-green vitality energy as they darted toward the Demon God's limbs like venomous snakes. He intended to cripple his opponent's mobility first.
The Demon God hadn't expected Lin Yue to teleport so quickly. Caught off guard, he could only raise his saber to block. The Space Blades collided with it, producing a shrill sizzling sound. The black Law of Demonic Path and pale-green vitality energy canceled each other out, scattering countless sparks of energy.
"It's not over!" Seizing the moment while the Demon God was blocking, Lin Yue activated the Space Seal and temporarily trapped his legs in folded space. Unable to move, the Demon God roared and unleashed the Law of Demonic Path, trying to break through the seal.
Just then, a violent "hum" suddenly rang out from the depths of Chaos, like the earth and sky collapsing. All of Chaos shuddered violently, and powerful ripples spread across the valley's halo. The black Demon God's face instantly turned deathly pale. Forgetting to break free of the seal, he dropped to his knees facing the depths of Chaos and stammered, "M-Milord, are you finally going to make your move?"
Lin Yue's heart tightened as he extended his Spatial Perception. Deep in Chaos, an unimaginable energy was rapidly gathering. It was a contradictory force containing both "creation" and "destruction"—the very portent of World Creation!
"The moment for World Creation has arrived!" Lin Yue was both shocked and delighted. He hadn't expected it to come so suddenly.
The black Demon God seemed to remember something. He abruptly raised his head and glared at Lin Yue with venomous hatred. "Boy, you're lucky this time! Once Milord succeeds in creating the world, I'll tear you limb from limb!" With that, he forcibly broke through the Space Seal, transformed into a streak of black mist, and fled.
Lin Yue didn't pursue him. His attention was fixed entirely on the energy fluctuations deep in Chaos. Just then, Pangu's voice rang out. "World Creation is imminent. Enter the core of the domain. Do not go outside."
Lin Yue hurriedly obeyed, shrinking his Space Vitality Domain to its smallest size and forming it into a "Domain Cocoon" around himself and Kong Yu. He looked toward Pangu and saw his senior standing in the middle of the valley, the aura of the Law of Heaven Opening surging around him. Golden light shot straight into the sky, resonating with the energy deep in Chaos.
"Senior, are you about to begin creating the world?" Lin Yue's heart pounded wildly, caught between anticipation and nerves. He knew that what came next would be a world-changing act of creation that would reshape the whole of Chaos. He would witness it—and perhaps even take part.
The energy fluctuations deep in Chaos grew stronger and stronger. A gigantic Space Rift appeared in the sky, and black Chaos Turbulence sprayed in every direction. Pangu slowly raised his right hand. A golden, embryonic Heaven Opening Axe condensed in his palm, its blade wreathed in the Law of Heaven Opening and radiating an aura that could destroy heaven and earth.
"World Creation... is about to begin!" Lin Yue clenched his fists and focused all his attention on the Domain Cocoon, preparing himself for the impact. He knew this would be the most unforgettable moment of his life—and the most dangerous. But with Senior Pangu there and the Space Vitality Domain protecting him, he was confident he would survive and witness the birth of a new world.
