275: Minions of the Dark Abyss

However, at the very moment his figure was about to vanish into the spatial channel—

"Roar—!!!"

A terrifying roar, seemingly originating from the Nine Serene Hells and filled with endless destruction and greedy will, tore through the chaotic void outside the Myriad Dao Origin Pool without warning!

A terrifying giant eye, larger than the stars, dripping with foul mucus and burning with dark purple flames of destruction in its pupil, suddenly snapped open in the void! Its cold gaze, like a physical ray of destruction, instantly pierced through the chaotic turbulence of the Great Dao, locking firmly onto Lin Yuan, who had just left the range of the Origin pool!

It was precisely that pair of eyes of destruction that had surfaced in the void after Lin Yuan refined the chaos origin spring and left! It seemed to have been attracted by the massive energy fluctuations from Lin Yuan refining the chaos origin spring and the core of the Myriad Dao Origin Pool, as well as the supreme Dao charm of the chaos origin seed. Finally unable to restrain itself, it revealed its hideous true form!

A foul, chaotic, and destructive aura, far surpassing the previous tide of exotic beasts and even more heart-palpitating than the vortex at the core of the Myriad Dao Origin Pool, swept in like a world-ending tide! Space froze and decayed inch by inch under this aura! That dark purple gaze of destruction, carrying the terrifying power to annihilate the Divine Soul and contaminate the dao foundation, instantly crossed the void and shot toward Lin Yuan!

"Eye of Annihilation?!"

A chill originating from the deepest depths of his Soul suddenly exploded! Lin Yuan's pupils constricted violently, and his blood seemed to freeze completely at this instant!

That was a minion of the Dark Abyss Plane, recorded in the forbidden classics of the Divine Domain as a symbol of the ultimate calamity and the extermination of all living things. According to the records, it was an extra-planar invasive species that should only appear ten years after the birth of a New Divine Domain!

Why... would it appear now on the territory of this newborn Divine Domain No. 903?!

This completely violated the iron law of the Heavenly Dao's operation!

Lin Yuan's figure solidified at the entrance of the spatial channel, and he turned around abruptly! Facing this sudden terrifying attack, there was no fear in Lin Yuan's eyes; instead, a surging Battle Intent ignited! The 80% Chaos Great Dao and Great Accomplishment Chaos Body he had just broken through with needed a whetstone of sufficient weight!

Deep within the pupil of his right eye, the embryonic form of the [Eye of Chaos Ruin] he had just condensed suddenly lit up!

"I'll use you to test my newly acquired Divine Ability!"

Buzz—!

A terrifying will, whose essence of silence, termination, and "nothingness" was beyond description, erupted from Lin Yuan's right eye! The space before him collapsed and annihilated silently, forming a dim gray beam of light with deep gui xu runes flowing along its edges! This beam was as thin as a hair and unremarkable, yet it seemed to carry the ultimate destination of the myriad heavens and worlds—the guixu origin point!

Eye of Chaos Ruin: Spacetime Annihilation!

The beam shot out silently, ignoring the distance of space, instantly crossing the chaotic void between the two and accurately meeting that destructive gaze capable of incinerating stars and freezing Souls!

Chiii—!!!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a faint sound of the Great Dao being forcibly erased that froze one's Soul!

Two forces representing different forms of "termination" collided fiercely!

Lin Yuan's dim gray beam contained the 80% Chaos Great Dao's supreme control over "the return of all things to ruin"; its essence was "the annihilation of existence itself"! Meanwhile, the Eye of Annihilation's destructive gaze was the pinnacle of destruction and filth, intended to "forcibly drag existence into the abyss of decay"!

At the moment the dim gray beam contacted the destructive purple light, the expected energy annihilation did not occur. That destructive purple light, capable of severely wounding the Hunyuan Realm, was like snow cast into strong acid; the instant it touched the Ruin beam, it began to silently disintegrate, melt, and transform into the most primitive void particles! The Annihilation Origin forming the core of its attack seemed to have encountered a higher-tier power of "termination" and was forcibly decomposed and assimilated!

"Roar—!!!" The Eye of Annihilation let out a roar of absolute horror and extreme pain! Its massive eye-pupil trembled violently, and the dark purple flames of destruction flickered and dimmed frantically! Its proud power of destruction appeared so... inferior and fragile before the other's Eye of Ruin!

Lin Yuan groaned, a tearing pain coming from his right eye, and even a moment of darkness appeared before him. The consumption of the [Eye of Chaos Ruin] far exceeded his imagination. With his newly formed level of control, forcibly activating such a Divine Ability was a massive burden on both his Divine Soul and dao foundation. However, his gaze remained as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice. Enduring the intense pain, he frantically injected the pure Origin fed back by the chaos origin seed into his right eye!

"Break!!" A sharp shout, like the judgment of a Chaos god-fiend!

The dim gray beam suddenly surged! The Eye of Annihilation's destructive gaze was completely pierced and dismantled! The beam's momentum remained unabated, like a red-hot iron wire piercing through thin paper, accurately stabbing into the very center of the Eye of Annihilation's massive pupil, which was burning with flames of destruction!

"No—!!!"

This time, the roar was filled with bone-deep fear and despair! The pupil hit by the Ruin beam, as if cast into the true guixu origin point, instantly lost all its luster! The crystalline lens forming the pupil, the flames of destruction, and even the foul will at its core were forcibly erased as if by an invisible giant hand, beginning to disintegrate and annihilate from the level of existence!

Crack! Crackle!

Fine cracks spread frantically from the center of the struck pupil to the entire massive eyeball! Fragments of the dark purple crystalline lens peeled off like broken glass, only to turn into nothingness the moment they left the main body! The flames of destruction extinguished rapidly, letting out a sizzling wail! Streams of pure yet extremely foul and destructive Origin energy were frantically pulled and absorbed by the devouring vortexes on the edges of the seventh-tier chaos wings behind Lin Yuan!

"Roar... roar..." The Eye of Annihilation's struggles grew weaker and weaker, and the light in its remaining eight eyes also rapidly dimmed. Its massive body began to collapse inward like a leaking balloon, finally transforming into a violently twisting and shrinking dark purple energy core.

How could Lin Yuan give it a chance to self-detonate or transmit information? The Eye of Ruin in his right eye lit up again, and a more condensed dim gray beam shot out instantly, accurately striking that twisting core!

Poof!

Like popping a foul bubble, that core of destruction containing the power of the Hunyuan Realm Peak had no room for resistance before the higher-level Power of Gui Xu and was instantly and completely erased! Not even a ripple was splashed!

A rain of dark purple destructive blood, mixed with broken crystalline fragments, splattered in the chaotic void, only to be quickly purified and absorbed by the devouring vortexes of Lin Yuan's wings. Only a fist-sized, crack-filled dark purple rhombic crystal remained—this was the residual core mark of the "Eye of Annihilation," containing partial Origin information of the Dark Abyss Plane.

Lin Yuan reached out and took the crystal into his hand. A cold and foul will tried to erode his Divine Soul, but it was instantly suppressed by the eternal clear radiance of the Chaos Fearless Dao Heart.

The battle ended!

Lin Yuan's figure swayed slightly, his face as pale as paper. The pain in his right eye was unbearable, his vision blurred, and even a trace of dark gold blood seeped from the corner of his eye. Forcing two activations of the [Eye of Chaos Ruin] had nearly drained his newly attained power, and the light of the chaos origin seed had dimmed significantly. The miniature chaos origin spring within his body was operating frantically, breathing in the energy purified by the devouring vortexes, struggling to recover the consumed energy.

He dared not linger. His Divine Thought locked onto the coordinates of the Sea of Time Sand, and the seventh-tier chaos wings on his back flapped violently!

"Void Shuttle!"

His figure turned into a streak of dark gold light, tearing through the still-vibrating chaotic space and speeding away toward the coordinates of the Secret Realm he sensed!

At the very moment he disappeared, deep within that void stained by the foul rain of blood, a pair of terrifying eyes ten times larger than the Eye of Annihilation, flowing with flames of destruction like those of the Nine Serene Abyss, slowly opened a slit! A cold, greedy, and furious gaze pierced through layers of spatial turbulence, locking dead onto the direction where Lin Yuan had vanished!
