God Burial Protocol

The cold electronic voice continued to echo over the ruins: "Applying... activation of the 'God Burial' protocol..."

On Fang Gang's chest, that patch of strange dark-gold patterns pulsed faintly. Each beat brought a bone-chilling cold and a tearing sensation, as if countless tiny ice picks were churning within his blood vessels.

High above, deep within the heavy leaden clouds, a phantom blue data stream surged and reformed madly. A destructive aura that froze the soul pressed down like a physical entity, locking onto the figure at the center of the ruins.

"Trying to eat me?" Fang Gang licked the blood from his lips, his eyes blazing with ferocity, like a cornered beast.

His blood-stained left hand slammed onto the dark-gold patterns pulsing violently on his chest. The golden-red and dark-gold light beneath his skin clashed fiercely. "Watch me refine you into blood and qi dregs first!"

Bzzzzz—!

As if sensing Fang Gang's savage will and the ultimate threat from the sky, the black horn he clutched in his hand suddenly trembled!

That cold, chaotic, and greedy higher-level will, like an enraged viper, further clawed its way up his left arm's brand, more madly than before!

The searing pain instantly intensified!

Fang Gang grunted, his body shaking violently. Sweat beaded on his clean forehead, instantly vaporized by the golden-red qi and blood steaming around him.

The dark-gold patterns on his chest surged upward a small section, nearly reaching his collarbone! Cold, chaotic whispers flooded his mind like demonic incantations:

"Destruction... descends... resist... instant death..."

"Submit... embrace... eternity..."

"Get lost!" Fang Gang roared, his eyes about to burst from their sockets!

The Nine Yang Qi and Blood throughout his body surged towards his chest without reservation, transforming into a blazing golden-red barrier that rigidly withstood the ice-pick-like erosion!

At the same time, he didn't hesitate to roar in his mind: "System! Speed up! Mental! Add it all!"

[30 evolution points consumed! Mental attribute increased! Current Mental: 380 (Mind like Glazed Glass)!]

A cool, resilient force instantly injected into his sea of consciousness. The turbulent Mind like Glazed Glass state was like being struck by a divine needle, instantly stabilizing!

The chaotic whispers were forcibly sealed out. Though they still existed, their impact was greatly reduced!

With his mental barrier stable, Fang Gang immediately focused all his will on the silent war raging within his body!

The Nine Yang Qi and Blood flowed like molten lava, scouring the brand on his left arm and the dark-gold patterns spreading across his chest, again and again.

Each surge brought intense burning pain, but it also forcefully suppressed and wore away a sliver of that cold, alien energy!

He was like a burning furnace, using his own supremely yang and potent qi and blood as fuel to forcefully refine this bizarre contamination invading his body!

However, just as the tug-of-war within his body stabilized slightly, the destructive preparation in the sky reached its climax!

The phantom blue data torrent converged within the clouds into a massive, intricate, slowly rotating geometric structure. At its center, a point of ultimate, profound black light ignited, emitting an annihilation aura that distorted space itself!

"God Burial Protocol... activation confirmed..." The Faceless Cult Master's cold electronic voice declared the final outcome without a trace of emotion.

BOOM!!!

A black pillar, ten times thicker than the previous cleansing beam and composed purely of destructive energy, tore through the clouds!

It moved silently. Wherever it passed, space seemed to be erased by an eraser, leaving behind a distorted vacuum trail!

Its speed surpassed the limits of visual perception, descending in an instant!

The target was Fang Gang—or rather, the section of the broken horn in his hand, which was emitting strong pollution fluctuations!

This strike was more than ten times more terrifying than the previous cleansing beam! A peak S-class destructive strike! It was enough to completely erase this area from the map!

The shadow of death had never felt so heavy!

Every hair on Fang Gang's body stood on end! The two forces within his body were still locked in a fierce struggle, making it impossible to defend with his full strength! Resist head-on? He would surely die!

"Roar—!" At the brink of life and death, the ferocity hidden within Fang Gang's body erupted completely! In a moment of extreme crisis, he made a move that was almost insane!

He didn't try to block that destructive black beam!

Instead, he poured all his remaining qi and blood, along with the dark-gold pollution energy that was madly eroding him from the brand on his left arm, into his right fist without regard for the consequences!

Nine Yang True Fire, Dragon Elephant's immense strength, Eight Extremes' shock, even that cold, chaotic dark-gold pollution... all his powers were forcibly fused and compressed into a single point in his right fist!

Predominantly golden-red, entwined with dark-gold! The space around his fist began to show faint black cracks from being unable to withstand this wild, chaotic energy!

"Break for me—!!!"

Fang Gang's eyes turned golden. Facing the annihilation-everything black pillar, he unleashed his right fist, which contained all his power and the "tumor" within his body, in a savage barrage!

The fist left, silently.

Only the ultimate collision of energies annihilated all sound!

The black pillar and the golden-red fist aura, entwined with dark-gold blood patterns, slammed into each other fiercely!

There was no earth-shattering explosion!

Only a patch of pure "nothingness" that instantly spread out!

Centered at the point of collision, everything within a hundred-meter radius—air, dust, gravel, severed limbs, even light itself—vanished instantly!

As if swallowed by a giant, invisible mouth!

The ground silently collapsed downward, forming a massive, mirror-smooth hemispherical crater!

At the crater's edge, the aftershock of the energy annihilation spread out like an invisible tsunami! Wherever it passed, the earth rolled and tore like waves!

Further away, the scattered debris of ruins looked like building blocks swept by a hurricane, instantly turning into dust!

At the center of the pit.

Fang Gang knelt on one knee, his right fist deeply embedded in the "mirror surface" beneath his feet.

The sleeve of his right arm had long since turned to ash, and his entire arm was raw and bloody, with muscles and bones showing bizarre, glassy cracks, as if scorched by high heat and then instantly cooled.

Dark golden patterns flickered faintly within the depths of the wounds, writhing like living things.

The ground in front of him bore a deep gully, a trace left by the residual power of his fist-qi, and at the end of the gully, that destructive black pillar of light… was gone!

It had been blasted apart by his desperate punch, which contained his own vital energy and the polluting energy!

Although the residual energy impact had heavily injured him, it had failed to annihilate him completely!

"Cough... cough cough..." Fang Gang coughed violently, spewing large amounts of blood mixed with internal organ fragments onto the smooth, mirror-like ground, a shocking sight.

He felt as if all his bones were broken and scattered, his right arm completely numb. Only the cold pulse from the dark golden patterns in his chest remained stubbornly present.

Above in the sky, the massive geometric structure seemed to pause for a moment due to this unexpected outcome.

A cold electronic voice carried a barely perceptible "stutter":

"Target... alive... pollution energy fluctuation... temporary fusion... annihilation effect... did not meet expectations..."

"Threat of target individual... reassessed... exceeding database limits..."

"Requesting... protocol level upgrade... invoking 'Nether Abyss'..."

The ethereal blue data stream surged wildly again, as if attempting to connect to something deeper and more terrifying.

Fang Gang struggled to lift his head, his blood-stained gaze fixed on the re-emerging, deeper, and more terrifyingly ominous blue structure within the clouds.

He grinned, revealing teeth stained red with blood, his smile ferocious and mad.

"Heh... hehehe... it's not over yet?"

He tried to move his aching right arm, the piercing pain making the veins on his forehead bulge, but an even fiercer rage churned in his chest.

He looked down at his chest; the dark golden patterns seemed to have dimmed slightly from forcefully drawing energy to counter the "God Burial" just now, but the cold will behind them had become clearer, more greedy.

"Trying to use me to take the hit... and then eat me?" Fang Gang's eyes turned vicious, a mad thought taking root in his mind, "Then let's see... who has the stronger bite!"

He no longer tried to forcefully suppress the dark golden patterns in his chest with his Nine Yang vital energy. Instead, he… attempted to guide a wisp of the savage vital energy within him to actively touch and wrap around that cold, foreign energy!

Like pouring oil onto a raging fire!

"Sizzle—!"

An excruciating pain, like a branding iron searing flesh, erupted from his chest!

The golden-red vital energy and the dark golden pollution clashed and annihilated each other violently! Fang Gang's body trembled violently, nearly making him pass out!

But amidst this violent clash and annihilation, an extremely faint, yet incredibly pure, trace of peculiar energy, far superior to ordinary vital energy, was forcefully refined and merged into his own Nine Yang vital energy!

Although it was only a minuscule amount, Fang Gang clearly felt that his own nearly depleted vital energy had… grown slightly stronger due to the infusion of this trace of energy?

Even his severe injuries seemed to be experiencing a faint, itchy sensation!

[Warning! Actively guiding pollution energy! Pollution level rising! Current: 13%!]

[Detected trace amounts of high-level energy annihilation residue… attempting absorption… absorption successful!]

[Physique slightly increased! Injury recovery speed slightly increased!]

The system prompts appeared coldly.

Fang Gang's eyes instantly blazed with terrifying brilliance! It was like seeing a path, fraught with thorns but leading to unknown power, in a desperate situation!

Refine it! Use this damned source of pollution as a whetstone to temper myself! As… a potent tonic!

"Again!" Fang Gang roared, enduring the heart-wrenching pain, and again attempted to guide his vital energy to "cook" the pollution in his chest!

Above in the sky, at the center of the ethereal blue geometric structure that had briefly "stuttered," a black dot, deeper than before, as if capable of swallowing all light, was slowly taking shape.

An aura of destruction, older and more deathly silent than "God Burial," as if from the deepest abyss, permeated the air.

"Nether Abyss protocol… permission confirmed… charging… 1%..."

The cold electronic voice sounded like the tolling of doom's bell.
