Everyone froze!
Jiang Nan... was dead just like that?
No miracle had arrived. There was no twist, no last-minute breakthrough and desperate counterattack!
He had simply been mercilessly erased and crushed by the Sword of Rules...
At the last moment, Jiang Nan had tried to break through to Star Eater so he could hold off Xun Ancestor, right?
But at the most critical moment, Qing Er had stopped him...
Was he really gone just like that?
Zhong Yingxue, Xia Yao, and the others stood stunned, eyes wide with disbelief at the scene before them!
But reality was cruel. With their strength, they couldn't intervene in a battle of this level. There was nothing they could do!
Mira's tears streamed down her face as she screamed hysterically:
"Brother Jiangnan! No!"
But even Mira's Beyond Time domain couldn't bring Jiang Nan back!
He was inside Xun Ancestor's Eternal World. This was annihilation and erasure on the level of the rules!
Wang Youzhi froze, as though he understood something. He gave a bitter laugh and looked up at the starry sky, his eyes filled with helplessness...
"Two fools... Both of you were fools who would risk everything for your ideals..."
"That promise you made me... You'll keep it, won't you? Don't you dare go back on your word..."
Xun Ancestor sneered. "You see that? This is what happens when an ant dares to challenge the World Will!"
"Crushing him was as simple as crushing a speck of dust—and just as boring!"
"Now it's your turn!"
As he spoke, Xun Ancestor raised the Sword of Rules once more and slashed toward the Star Eaters!
His sword was filled with nothing but slaughter!
Jiang Fan, caught inside the Blade Storm, stared blankly as Xun Ancestor's sword erased Jiang Nan!
Everything about Jiang Nan replayed in
