The Void Annihilation and Surprise

Seventeen standard days of travel felt monotonous in the desolate void of the universe.

Within the Divine Kingdom, Lin Yi and his clone were immersed in studying the Void Annihilation Record and practicing the Space-Time Life-Death Void Annihilation Point, racing against time to master the profound mysteries of the Dominator's Secret Tome.

When the ship arrived at the edge of the designated dark nebula region, Xuanji's notification pulled Lin Yi's attention back from his cultivation.

"Master, we have reached the outer perimeter of the target dark nebula's Shadow Zone. Preliminary scans indicate abnormal energy spectrums within, the presence of a strong gravitational lensing source, and significant fluctuations of the Law of Darkness."

The ship decelerated, sliding slowly into the vast nebula composed of thin gas, dust, and ice crystals like a ghost merging into the background darkness.

Starlight was severely obscured here, leaving the view a hazy, dark blur; only the ship's own faint detection waves and the occasional fleeting light trails of high-energy particle streams broke the gloom.

After traveling about half a day's distance into the nebula, the scene ahead made Lin Yi's eyes brighten slightly.

It was an extremely rare cosmic wonder.

In the core region of the dark nebula, there existed a relative void approximately several million kilometers in diameter.

At the center of this void floated dozens of dark purple crystals of varying sizes and irregular shapes.

These crystals orbited an invisible gravitational source at the center of the void as if they were alive, their surfaces flowing with a somber luster that seemed to swallow all light. Bursts of the Law of Darkness emanated from them, constantly annihilating the faint glow upon contact with the surrounding thin nebular matter.

Lin Yi's heart stirred, and an invisible ripple instantly spread from his brow, sweeping over
