The Eraser's Brief Stutter

Rumble—

The pillar of light collapsed and scattered in midair! Before the Proof of Existence unleashed by Lin Ye, the resentment of the devoured civilizations fell into momentary confusion—then collectively turned against Taotie!

Countless resentments peeled away from Taotie, transforming into silver-white rain that flowed into the River of Civilizations behind Lin Ye!

The Taotie war beast let out a terrified howl!

To its horror, it discovered that the nourishment it had devoured across endless epochs was being forcibly laid to rest by Lin Ye in Ashen Form!

"What exactly are you?!" Fear appeared in Taotie's consciousness for the first time.

Lin Ye did not answer.

He walked toward Taotie step by step. With every step, the River of Civilizations behind him grew stronger. By the time he reached Taotie, that river was already as vast as the sea.

Violet-gold flames surged from his palm!

Starting from its head, the Taotie war beast disintegrated bit by bit, turning into light rain that flowed into the river. It struggled and howled in terror, only to discover that every civilization it had devoured was now tearing into it from within!

The Taotie war beast completely disintegrated! Three hundred and seventy-one silver-white streams of light cascaded like a river from the heavens, pouring into the River of Civilizations behind Lin Ye!

The river swelled violently, nearly bursting through the Void!

Lin Ye's aura surged to unprecedented heights.

But he knew—this was the
