The process of traversing that residual energy channel was far more perilous Allen had anticipated. It wasn't a simple spatial journey, but rather like flowing upstream through the veins of a raging behemoth. He was surrounded by viscous, almost tangible, dark red energy, filled with frenzied whispers of destruction that constantly assaulted his mental defenses. A terrifying repulsive force emanated from the depths of the channel, as if the entire space itself was rejecting his intrusion as a "foreign object."
The newly broken -through Power of Zhulong formed a solid silver-purple light membrane on his body, firmly protecting him and the unconscious Sanji in his arms. His Chaos eyes, a mixture of light and darkness, calmly observed the surroundings. He used his spacetime powers to the extreme, constantly adjusting his own frequency to struggle forward in this destructive torrent with minimal cost. Under the protection of Allen's power, the ROOM aura maintained by Law stubbornly enveloped Sanji like a candle in the wind.
I don't know how much time passed, perhaps a moment, perhaps eternity, but the pressure ahead suddenly eased.
Allen burst out of the passage and stepped into a "space" that defies description.
There was no up, down, left, or right; no matter; no light; and no darkness in the conventional sense. There was only an endless, churning, dark red ocean of energy. This energy was not inanimate; it was like living, malevolent tentacles. Sensing Allen's arrival, it swarmed towards him like sharks smelling blood! Every wisp of energy contained an extreme will to destroy, enough to easily erode the mind and body of Admiral- level powerhouse.
This is the original lair of that red, world-destroying behemoth, the source of all destruction and pollution!
"Snort!"
Allen snorted coldly. Without even needing to consciously activate it, the silver-purple aura emanating from his body naturally kept the destructive tentacles that tried to approach at bay. The aura and the dark red energy made a "hissing" sound as they annihilated each other. After breaking through to the level of the Four Emperors, his Power of Zhulong had undergone a qualitative change, creating a rank-based suppression on this pure destructive energy.
He hovered in the center of this sea of destruction, his gaze sharp as he surveyed the endless crimson expanse. In his perception, this ocean of energy was not uniform; all the destructive will, all the energy flow, pointed to a core—a colossal being slumbering in the deepest part of this ocean, beating like a heart.
That is its true form!
Seemingly awakened by the aura of Allen, this "uninvited guest," the entire dark red energy ocean suddenly boiled! Countless energy tentacles danced wildly, converging into towering waves that crashed towards Allen from all directions! At the same time, a grand, ancient will, filled with endless tyranny and greed, like an awakened ancient god, slowly descended and firmly locked onto Allen.
"Outsider... Master of time and space... Your power... shall be destroyed..."
Fragments of will, broken and discontinuous, directly assaulted Allen's soul. This will was far more condensed and terrifying than the previous projections, carrying a chilling indifference that looked down upon ants and disregarded everything.
Allen didn't respond. He simply adjusted his position while holding Sanji to ensure Law's ROOM could be maintained stably. Then, he raised his head, looking directly in the direction from which the will was emanating, the Chaos light in his eyes burning brighter than ever before.
"Your very existence is a mistake." Allen's voice was calm, yet carried a judgmental authority, resounding clearly throughout this sea of will. "Today, I have come to end it."
"Arrogant!"
The Will of Destruction roared, and the entire ocean of energy erupted in chaos! It was no longer a simple energy surge, but rather triggered an attack at the level of some kind of law! The space around Allen began to collapse and annihilate on its own, and the flow of time became chaotic, sometimes accelerating in an attempt to age him instantly, and sometimes flowing backward in an attempt to drag him back to his weak past!
This is the direct interference of the Law of Destruction with the Laws of Space and Time!
Faced with this attack that Transcendence the level of energy clash, Allen finally got serious. He stopped passively defending and instead temporarily sealed and protected Sanji in the Void behind him with a dense layer of spacetime crystal.
Then, he took a step forward.
With just one step, his aura underwent a dramatic transformation! A silver-purple light soared into the sky, and a Torch Dragon Dharma Image, spanning this space, coalesced behind him. Its dragon head was majestic, and its eyes, which controlled time, coldly gazed upon this sea of destruction.
"Here, I rule over time and space!"
Words become law!
Centered on Allen, the silver-purple Order Field rapidly expanded, forcibly smoothing out the collapsing space and restoring order to the chaotic flow of time! The power of the Torch Dragon had carved out a "perfect spacetime" of its own within this otherworldly primordial nest!
"Roar--!!"
The source of destruction was utterly enraged! A dark red ocean of energy converged wildly, coalescing outside the domain into a colossal eye, purely composed of the laws of destruction, capable of blotting out the sky! Within this colossal eye, the scene of the End all things and the annihilation of stars was reflected!
A giant eye stares!
A hazy, colorless beam of light, yet imbued with the concept of "ending everything," shot out from the giant eye's pupil, ignoring spatial distance and directly illuminating Allen's spacetime domain!
This is the ultimate manifestation of the Destruction Origin — the Light of Guixu! Everything it illuminates—whether matter, energy, space, or time—will inevitably face its destined end and annihilation!
"Good timing!"
A fierce fighting spirit erupted in Allen's eyes. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and the light in his left eye and the darkness in his right eye merged and spun at an unprecedented speed, finally condensing into a tiny but incredibly heavy "singularity" in his palm—a spacetime singularity containing all the opposing yet unified elements of "birth" and "end," "light" and "darkness," "past" and "future"!
"The Ultimate Technique of the Torch Dragon: Creation of Heaven and Earth!"
He shoved this spacetime singularity violently toward the Light of Guixu!
There was no sound, no explosion.
The moment the Light of Guixu, representing "ultimate destruction," collides with the singularity of spacetime, representing "all-encompassing"—
A primordial aura of indescribable color suddenly erupted, instantly engulfing the entire Origin Nest!
Within this "primordial" realm, it seems that the universe was born and destroyed, civilizations rose and fell, and life was reincarnated... All possibilities unfolded within it, only to return to silence.
As all the strange phenomena slowly dissipated, revealing the internal scene, it was seen that Allen's spacetime domain was still stable, only its range had shrunk considerably. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing was erratic, clearly indicating that he had expended a great deal of energy.
The dark red ocean of energy, however, was noticeably dimmer and thinner, and the colossal eye of destruction was riddled with cracks, filled with disbelief and rage.
In their first direct clash at the level of laws, Allen has a slight advantage!
But he knew this was far from over. The power to Destruction Origin was unfathomable, and that attack just now was probably only the tip of the Iceburg of its true power.
Behind him, Sanji, sealed by the Time-Space Crystal, appeared even paler. Law's ROOM aura also began to flicker slightly, clearly struggling to maintain its shape.
Time is still of the essence. Allen must find the core of the Destruction Origin as soon as possible and deliver a fatal blow!
