The white sun at this moment could no longer be described with words. As it traversed the sky, it radiated a brutal aura, exactly like a trapped beast from the Nine Serenities. Wu Hen could clearly feel its immense malice, determined to turn the world into a prison hell, trapping and torturing those who attempted to escape here for all eternity!!

It was coming...

He remembered Su Li initially calling this white sun the Great Terror Evil Sun.

Now, the Great Terror Evil Sun had arrived to kill!!

It was like a sovereign who set the laws of heaven and earth, enraged that tiny, ant-like mortals dared to escape its palm. Its endless fury caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to shatter.

For a moment, Wu Hen felt as if he had violated the heavenly statutes and was suffering a sanction from the Heavenly Court that transcended the mortal realm!

"I thought our lives weren't even worth it showing itself; I overestimated the magnanimity of Zai Wu." Su Li's gaze was fixed firmly on the Evil Sun flying across the mountains and rivers.

"Its name is Zai Wu? Is it actually a sun??" Wu Hen asked.

"Wu Hen, remember this: the truly powerful beings in the Desolate Dust always hide behind the scenes. This Zai Wu is a prime example of a mistake. By exposing its dharma image today out of momentary rage, it has doomed itself to not survive long in the Desolate Dust!" Su Li's tone grew heavier, her voice colder.

Wu Hen listened intently.

But was there any point in remembering this now??

Finally, the sky above was shrouded by a sky-covering Evil Venerable. The excessively intense evil radiance pierced Wu Hen's pupils, making it impossible for him to see the true face of the Great Terror Evil Sun. He only knew that there were Evil Silk strands hanging down from the sky!

The Evil Silk was dense and numerous, as if it had existed in this world all along. Only after everything turned crimson and the true face of the Evil Soil was exposed could it be barely discerned!

The densest concentration of Evil Silk was tied to the horizon, leading in the direction of that Evil City.

Inside the train, there was also a strand of Evil Silk. It moved like an electromagnetic force, passing through obstacles and the roof of the train, lifting a person lying in a pool of blood somewhere in the carriage.

The thread moved.

It moved bit by bit toward the front of the train.

Inside the train carriage, it was as if there were a marionette.

Finally, the thing being dangled by the Evil Silk appeared—it was that blood-drenched boy!!

The boy walked to the front of the train and stared at the three of them with eerily vacant eyes. There was no trace of life in him; instead, he resembled a malevolent, resentful doll.

"The Master commands me to inform you in a way you can understand..." The boy opened his mouth stiffly, using an extremely discordant tone, "Once clever ants walk out of the maze of the Human Painting, their final fate is inevitably to be crushed to death!"

High and mighty, arrogant beyond measure.

This white sun in the sky didn't even deign to communicate directly with these tiny bugs, choosing instead to use a dead puppet.

Anger flared in Su Li's eyes. In all her years walking the Desolate Dust, she had rarely encountered such a despicable and narrow-minded Heavenly Radiance creature.

You can even feel its smugness as the Heavenly Radiance, the way it tramples upon all living beings!

"Your actions today fill me with loathing!" Su Li said coldly. She did not beg for mercy like the others; instead, she spoke with a tone of resolve and nobility.

"To me, there is no true death in the Desolate Dust. I may survive in a more humble, more humiliating form, but no matter how small my soul falls, no matter how many tribulations I suffer or how many eons I endure, I, Su Li, swear that I will trample and extinguish such despicable, shameful things as you!"

Even if there are gods looking down from above.

Even if one is but a speck of dust in this alien dimension.

Su Li's powerful will was blossoming with a soul-radiance that reflected the heavens. Her amber eyes were no longer those of a mere mortal, yet her mortal flesh prevented her supreme soul from fully manifesting!

Of the three, Yang Qin had long since fainted.

She was the most ordinary creature in this Desolate Dust, lacking even the qualification to witness the true face of Wu Zai. Under such powerful pressure, her spirit was gradually dissolving even in her unconscious state. Before long, she would be no different from the walking corpses on the ground.

Likewise, Wu Hen, whose soul-will had not reached a sufficiently high realm, had stepped across the threshold as an Awakened to witness the true face of Wu Zai. However, his eyeballs were being overrun by an evil force.

It was as if the nerves within his pupils had sprouted evil buds of their own accord. These neural buds were rapidly spreading through the nerves of his eyeballs into Wu Hen's brain, slowly applying a natural, biological chokehold to his mind!

"Tsk-tsk-tsk~~~~~~~"

The dead puppet boy let out an extremely strange laugh.

Clearly, this was Wu Zai mocking and tormenting life. The evil spirits born within this Evil Soil possessed such predilections, naturally inherited from their true master, Wu Zai!

From the bright sky above, strands of Evil Silk slowly descended.

They passed easily over the top of the train engine, but when they pierced into Su Li's skull, it was as if they were drilling holes into her cranium!

Similarly, another strand of Evil Silk landed on Wu Hen's head. It drilled through his scalp, greedily inserting itself into his brain matter...

Su Li knew there was no escaping this fate. She did not show a shred of fear or submission to an existence like the bright sky, but seeing Wu Hen about to be reduced to a filthy evil monkey in this Evil Soil, she felt immense resentment.

Her body was releasing a powerful soul-radiance, but these spiritual rays were tightly locked away by her cage-like physical shell, leaving her to roar in agonizing pain.

I'm sorry, I didn't protect you... Su Li could no longer make a sound, but she still stared at Wu Hen, struggling to convey these silent words.

Wu Hen had not lost consciousness. He looked back at Su Li, and from her amber eyes, he saw a sincerity that transcended everything.

"Auntie, you're wrong again..." Wu Hen was still able to speak. He said to Su Li, "The only thing in this world one can trust is not just Yuan You."

Su Li was the one relative in this alien dimension he could trust completely!

How could he let her suffer like this!

With his heart burning like a raging fire, Wu Hen slowly raised his head. He was no longer suppressed by this overbearing, powerful pressure!

The evil neural buds within his pupils suddenly stopped growing and spreading. A more domineering, more sacred substance began to bloom within his eyes, like brilliant lightning in the pitch-black night!

Beyond his pupils, Wu Hen's body—his skin, muscles, blood vessels, sinews, bones, and internal organs—similarly erupted with this miraculous substance. It transformed his mortal flesh and blood in a single instant!

Head held high and chest puffed out, a black miraculous lightning suddenly ignited within Wu Hen's body, between his shoulder blades. Through his translucent shell, this black miraculous substance resembled a Death Sword!

His entire body was inexplicably shrouded in a layer of Black Void, to the point where even the blood-red heaven and earth unveiled by Wu Zai seemed to be swallowed by this layer of Black Void!

Beside him, Su Li felt this endless energy of annihilation, her heart filled with shock beyond measure. When she stared at Wu Hen again, she found that she could no longer see his figure clearly...

And on the mountain range behind that void figure, a magnificent, heaven-supporting black miracle suddenly manifested, as world-shaking as a Divine Heavenly Manifestation!

"Ah!!!!!!!"

Wu Hen once again felt that intense heat in his right arm. It was not burning him, but rather guiding him.

In this instant, Wu Hen remembered what he had once pulled down from the firmament at the cliff of Jue Town.

And so, Wu Hen attempted to pull it out once more!

As Wu Hen's right arm tightened its grip, pulling bit by bit through the Black Void, the blood-red sky above, which had been illuminated, suddenly revealed an incredibly surreal layering!

With the blood-red sky below, there was actually another layer of black sky above it. And from within that black sky, a black miraculous Death Sword was suddenly pulled out—the magnificence reflected on the mountain range was merely its shadow!

"Annihilate for me!" Wu Hen felt the infinite sword intent of the firmament. He swung his hand, which gripped the horizon, toward that bright daylight in the sky!!

The daylight that had descended upon the human world, like a startled bird, snapped all the Evil Silk and fled toward the horizon in a panic!

However, the fall of the black miraculous Death Sword was meant to annihilate this vast, desolate world. What did it matter if it fled into the Evil Soil horizon? The horizon itself would also cease to exist!!

Wu Zai's speed was already fast enough to cross the sky in a blink. The miraculous sky, which looked like it was erasing the world, appeared to be falling with agonizing slowness to the naked eye, yet time itself seemed frozen and locked within the world beneath the Black Void...

By the coast, the vast Demon Sea was being boiled away.

In the Living City, dense clusters of skyscrapers were wiped away like a pile of data code.

Everything in the Evil Soil was being deconstructed!

Suddenly, a god-like solar creature fell without warning, crashing heavily into the center of the city that was currently turning into ruins!

In the next instant, a vast black miracle nailed itself onto this solar creature, shamefully impaling it at the boundary between the land and the sea, pinning it to the center of this coastal Evil City!

Blood spread, surging throughout the entire city.

Countless evil spirits turned to dust in the scorching breath of the Black Void emitted by the black miracle. Even the train station nearly ten kilometers away, and the Midnight Mass within its entire nest, were not spared.

They dissolved in the Black Void, cleared from this world like mold!

Within the Evil City, there were still many who survived.

They realized deeply that under this kind of power, fleeing was meaningless; those who survived and other species could only crawl on the ground.

Among them was the brawny leader of the Black Shirt Organization. He stared in disbelief at the endless expanse of ruins and desolation, gazing at the ash and dust billowing across the sky...

His perception of reality was being overturned—the sun in the broad daylight had actually been slain!

The sun was dead!

Their sun had been killed!

What kind of existence could possibly trample and extinguish their daylight faith like this!!
