At that moment, unimaginable power erupted. Space was torn apart, and time flowed backward.
All manner of inconceivable phenomena wove together into a terrifying net that swept toward Lin Du.
Yet, facing this counterattack powerful enough to bring down the stars, Lin Du merely curled his lips into a disdainful smile.
Not only did he not retreat a single step, he instead stood tall against the surging dark energy.
He directly reached out and touched the torrent of darkness that seemed ready to devour everything.
Dormammu, who had been busy mobilizing the power of the Dark Dimension, watched as Lin Du not only failed to resist, but instead charged straight at him.
Unbelievable shock surged through him.
What secrets was this mortal hiding?
How could he possess such courage?!
When the dark beam touched Lin Du's palm, it vanished without a trace, like night sinking into an abyss.
Rather than being consumed by that destructive force, Lin Du began absorbing and assimilating Dormammu's profound dark energy.
A strange radiance shimmered across his skin, as though the boundary between another realm and reality was gradually blurring before their eyes, weaving into a dreamlike scene.
Two extreme energies clashed violently within him before ultimately merging into a new, unprecedented power that burst forth with sparks of transformation.
The sky changed color, the stars trembled, and cracks began to form along the edges of the entire Dark Dimension.
This was proof that Lin Du was gradually mastering Dormammu's power.
He was no longer merely resisting. He was trying to control, even surpass, one of the oldest and most powerful beings in the universe.
Savoring the mysteries of this fusion, Lin Du looked at Dormammu with eyes as cold as ice, yet they concealed boundless meaning.
As the fusion deepened, an eager glimmer shone in his eyes.
He desperately wanted to know what astonishing magic this power would ultimately evolve into.
As the two energies merged more deeply, Lin Du's body seemed like a bottomless vortex.
On one side, it greedily devoured every trace of darkness around it; on the other, it continuously bloomed with dazzling light.
He could feel an unprecedented power raging within him, a vast might free from the constraints of time and space—a realm he had never touched before.
Lin Du sensed the changes within his body, and his thoughts grew hazy, as though he had stepped into an utterly unfamiliar world.
There, light and darkness intertwined, giving birth to an unprecedented and wondrous magic.
He could see time flowing gently, space softly folding, and even seemed to touch the universe's steady pulse.
He was nurturing a brand-new spell, a mighty force capable of piercing darkness and driving away all shadows.
This power would become his ultimate reliance in opposing Dormammu and protecting this world.
As the powers within him slowly merged,
his form gradually expanded within the pitch-black darkness, eventually turning into a towering statue woven from light and darkness.
"Lin Du..." Dormammu's voice carried an imperceptible tremor. As he stared at the statue, unprecedented terror surged within him.
Time passed soundlessly, and he gradually sensed that the power which had once made all things tremble was diminishing in a subtle yet irreversible manner.
Meanwhile, Lin Du's energy continued to grow at an explosive pace.
What exactly was happening?
His heart was tightly bound by doubt and unease.
This power had once been the source of his pride.
Whether on the long road of cultivation or in fierce battles against powerful enemies, it had always been his staunchest support.
But now, it was slowly fading away in silence, like morning mist meeting sunlight.
At the same time, Lin Du's energy surged like a spring, continuously drawing power from Dormammu's body, creating a stark contrast.
His power was like a boiling heat wave, and even the air around him was shaken by that surging energy, trembling faintly.
Looking back on his cultivation over the past few days, everything had been normal and uneventful.
So what secret lay behind this weakening power and Lin Du's increasingly vigorous aura?
"How is this possible..."
A thought flashed through Dormammu's mind, and his heart immediately churned with stormy waves.
He scanned his surroundings and saw the chaotic void silently tilting toward Lin Du.
At last, his gaze fixed on Lin Du.
The being who had once seemed as insignificant as dust in his eyes was now silently drawing upon his energy and overturning heaven and earth.
"Dormammu, you once dreamed of ruling this dark abyss forever, but you forgot that all things must eventually come to an end." Lin Du's voice echoed languidly through the void.
"Your dynasty has entered its twilight, and I will personally unveil the dawn of a new age."
Hearing this, flames of fury rose within Dormammu's chest.
He struggled to mobilize the remaining power in his body for a counterattack, only to discover that his will was tightly bound by invisible chains.
Every desperate struggle was nothing but a powerless wail.
Fear—an emotion that had always been foreign to him—now slowly coiled around his heart like an icy venomous snake, gnawing at his will.
"You! What spell did you cast on me?!" Dormammu roared, his voice woven with defiance and the desolation of doom.
Lin Du slowly raised his hand, gathering a ball of brilliant radiance in his palm. It was the supreme power he had only recently comprehended.
It not only incorporated the profound mysteries of the Dark Dimension, but also absorbed the flawless purity of light, giving birth to an unprecedented power of balance.
"I am merely acting in accordance with the laws of heaven and earth."
"You once devoured the essence of countless worlds to nourish yourself. Now, all of it will return to me and become the foundation upon which I ascend a new throne."
As soon as he finished speaking, an invincible energy surged from Lin Du's body like a rushing tide, charging directly at Dormammu.
Dormammu felt his power being stripped away bit by bit, every loss accompanied by agonizing, bone-piercing pain.
He admitted that he was no longer Lin Du's match.
The instant he realized this, Dormammu intended to flee the battlefield.
But how could Lin Du possibly let him go so easily?
With a gentle wave of Lin Du's hand, a chain interwoven with light and darkness crossed space and wrapped tightly around Dormammu's body.
Dormammu struggled fiercely, attempting to break free from this seemingly slender yet incomparably resilient shackle.
But every effort only made him feel weaker.
"Do you think you can escape?" A cold smile curved across Lin Du's lips.
"Within this domain of power that I control, your strength has long since lost all meaning."
Dormammu stared at Lin Du, his eyes filled with unwillingness and despair.
He had once been the overlord of the Dark Dimension, with the life and death of countless beings held in his hands.
Yet now, before a mortal who had once seemed as insignificant as dust, he had completely lost the ability to resist.
