"What... have you realized?" The Lord of the Void rarely showed a trace of gravity.
Lin Ye did not answer.
With a sweep of the True Creation Staff, he unleashed a golden blade of light.
Yet this blade was no longer a perfect straight line. It carried a natural curve, just as no trajectory of motion in the real world could ever be absolutely straight—countless factors would always cause slight deviations.
The Lord of the Void raised a hand, condensing Nothingness Energy into a shield.
Based on past experience, any existence that came into contact with nothingness would be erased. But this time, the blade of light pierced through the nothingness.
It did not break through it, nor did it destroy it. It simply ignored it.
As though nothingness did not exist for it, the blade maintained that imperfect curve as it passed through the shield of nothingness, leaving a wound upon the Lord of the Void's form.
Black energy gushed from the wound.
The Lord of the Void staggered back in disbelief. "How is this possible?! My nothingness can erase all existence! Why is it ineffective against your attack?"
Lin Ye finally spoke, his voice calm. "Because your nothingness targets 'perfect existences.'"
"You can deny a complete concept. You can erase a perfect structure. But you cannot deny an existence that is incomplete to begin with."
He raised his staff and pointed it at the Lord of the Void. "How do you erase the 'completeness' of something flawed? It was never complete in the first place. How do you make something already shattered 'more shattered'? It was already broken."
"Your nothingness can only affect those existences that pursue perfection and seek wholeness."
"And reality itself is incomplete."
The Lord of the Void's form fluctuated violently, a mixture of fury
