375: The Inner World: A Prototype of a Low-Energy Universe

Mutual destruction? No!

"Now!" Lin Yuan forcibly stabilized his figure, a sharp glint bursting from his eyes! This was the opportunity he had been waiting for! The moment when the Eye of a Thousand Devourings' old strength had faded, its new strength was not yet born, and its core was wounded!

"Grandmist Imprisonment!" The blurry projection expanded to its limit once more, locking onto the Eye of a Thousand Devourings with a death grip!

"Chaos Chains · Burial of Gui Xu!" Lin Yuan spread the fingers of his right hand. Countless pitch-black chains, condensed from the Power of Gui Xu and entwined with the purple intent of Grandmist, ignored the distance of space and instantly coiled around the massive, crack-filled eyeball and retracting tentacles of the Eye of a Thousand Devourings!

"Devouring Origin! Grandmist Furnace!" Lin Yuan formed a hand seal with his left hand, and the primordial chaos prototype in his Sea of Consciousness roared like a furnace! Terrifying devouring power followed the chains like billions of straws, piercing ruthlessly into the core of the Eye of a Thousand Devourings!

"Sssssss—!!!" The Eye of a Thousand Devourings let out an unprecedented, shrill howl that twisted the Soul! Its massive body writhed and struggled frantically, Dark Abyss energy erupting violently in an attempt to break free from the chains and the devouring! However, suppressed by the Grandmist projection, its core wounded, and imprisoned by the Gui Xu chains, it was like a moth fallen into a spider's web!

The rotting flesh, tentacles, and pus that composed its massive body withered and shriveled rapidly, like melting snow! At its very core, that viscous, filthy dark-purple energy sphere—representing its Hunyuan Dao Fruit and the Origin of its 'World Devourer Low-Energy State World'—was forcibly peeled and extracted from the depths of the eyeball! It was like having one's tendons and marrow pulled out!

[Devoured Peak Hunyuan Realm (Tenth-Order low-energy state universe prototype) Dark Abyss Great Beast · Eye of a Thousand Devourings!]

[Obtained complete 'World Devourer Dark Abyss low-energy state universe prototype' Origin and fragments!]

[Obtained a massive amount of pure Dark Abyss Annihilation Energy!]

[primordial chaos universe prototype · Gui Xu Nether Domain (Miniature) expanding and solidifying rapidly! Initially possesses 'World Devourer' characteristics! Devouring ability enhanced!]

[Dark Abyss Annihilation Law chain initially condensed within the prototype! Anti-pollution capability significantly enhanced!]

[Spacetime framework construction progress increased by 0.0005%! Prototype stability greatly improved!]

When the last trace of Dark Abyss Origin was drained, the shriveled giant eyeball of the Eye of a Thousand Devourings floated in the chaotic Void Realm like the decaying wreckage of a planet, completely devoid of luster.

Having devoured the Origin of a Peak Hunyuan beast that possessed a low-energy state universe prototype within its body, Lin Yuan's aura became even deeper and more dangerous. Although the Grandmist projection surrounding him remained blurry, it faintly gained a hint of the Dark Abyss characteristic that devoured all things!

"Ssss—!!!"

The other two Peak Hunyuan Dark Abyss beasts, the Star-Rotting Giant Whale 'Devour Cosmos' and the Dark Abyss Bone Dragon 'Nether Skeleton', witnessed the miserable fate of the Eye of a Thousand Devourings and let out roars of fury and wariness! They no longer looked down upon this 'little bug.' Their massive bodies churned the Dark Abyss energy, coming from the left and right with a terrifying power that could destroy stars, flanking Lin Yuan in a pincer attack!

Devour Cosmos's giant maw opened, and terrifying suction transformed into a black hole vortex that devoured the Star Domain!

Nether Skeleton's bone wings vibrated, and endless Dark Abyss Death Thunder turned into a destructive lightning storm!

At the same time, the tide-like Dark Abyss beast swarm, driven by the will of the two great beasts, lunged at Lin Yuan even more frantically, using their bodies and annihilation energy to wear down his protective projection and power!

Lin Yuan stood at the center of the beast tide holding his sword, the chains around him not yet dissipated, and the blade still dripping with the foul blood of the Dark Abyss. He felt the significant growth within his primordial chaos prototype after devouring the Eye of a Thousand Devourings. Looking at the two great beasts charging with the power to destroy the world, and the endless swarm of beasts, what burned in his eyes was an even more blazing Battle Intent and... greed!

"One is not enough! Far from enough!"

"Devour Cosmos! Nether Skeleton! And you ants..."

"All of you, become the... foundation of my internal Universe!"

The chaos heavenly extreme sword erupted with an even more terrifying black light of Gui Xu. Lin Yuan's figure did not retreat; instead, he advanced, proactively meeting the two Peak Hunyuan beasts and the destructive torrent of the beast tide!

After devouring the Eye of a Thousand Devourings, his conversion efficiency of Dark Abyss energy was higher, and his understanding of the Dark Abyss beasts' weaknesses was deeper! This ultimate harvest of blood-forged Grandmist was about to enter an even more tragic phase!

At the core of the Divine Domain, the pulsing Hongmeng Origin World light cocoon, having absorbed countless dissipated Hunyuan essence blood, Dark Abyss energy, and the Grandmist dao rhyme from Lin Yuan's battle, pulsed faster and faster. The mature dao rhyme it emitted became richer... It was no longer far from final maturation!

Having devoured the Dark Abyss Origin of the Eye of a Thousand Devourings, Lin Yuan's primordial chaos prototype was like it had been injected with a stimulant. The Gui Xu Nether Domain grew, its anti-pollution capability increased, and the conversion efficiency of Dark Abyss energy was significantly enhanced. But this was still far from enough!

Facing the pincer attack of the Star-Rotting Giant Whale 'Devour Cosmos' and the Dark Abyss Bone Dragon 'Nether Skeleton', as well as the endless beast tide emitting the aura of annihilation, what burned in Lin Yuan's eyes was not just Battle Intent, but an extreme thirst for higher-level 'nourishment'!

"Roar!" Devour Cosmos's giant mouth had already turned into a black hole vortex devouring the Star Domain. Terrifying suction tore at the Grandmist projection around Lin Yuan, and even space itself was distorted and stretched, as if it were going to swallow him along with that entire area into the eternal darkness of its belly!

This was the manifestation of the power of the 'Star-Rotting Low-Energy State Universe Prototype' within its body! Its power far exceeded the Major Thousand Worlds of Fen Yu from before, containing terrifying Laws that could rot and devour an entire real Star Domain!

"Hiss-roar!" Nether Skeleton vibrated its sky-covering dragon wings composed of countless massive skeletons. Endless dark-purple Death Thunder was like a world-ending storm, each bolt of lightning containing the supreme Laws of the Dark Abyss that annihilated Souls and decayed the Dao! This was the Origin power of its 'Death Thunder Low-Energy State Universe Prototype'! Wherever the lightning passed, even Grandmist Source Qi was polluted into viscous toxic sludge!

Two great powers originating from low-energy state universes—one sucking and one blasting—formed a killing move! Their combined might made the Hunyuan Realm powerhouses watching from a distance, who only had Major Thousand Worlds in their bodies and were lucky to survive, feel suffocated. Their Souls felt as if they were being pulled out by the suction and annihilated by the Death Thunder!

"low-energy state universe prototypes? Now this is more like it!" Lin Yuan was not shocked but delighted! He clearly felt that the hungry primordial chaos prototype within him was transmitting an unprecedented greedy vibration toward these two Universe-level inner worlds! Devouring them would have an effect far exceeding the previous 'Major World snacks'!

"Grandmist Projection · Suppress!" Lin Yuan shouted. The blurry Universe phantom expanded to its limit, forcibly propping open a relatively stable Domain within Devour Cosmos's star-rotting suction and Nether Skeleton's Death Thunder storm!

The projection shook violently, its edges constantly being corroded and annihilated, only to be forcibly repaired by him with Hunyuan power. The consumption was massive! The suppression of the Grandmist status over the low-energy state Universes still existed, but since the opponents possessed complete Universe power after all, the pressure increased sharply!

"Sword Divides Yin and Yang! Gui Xu Creation!"

Lin Yuan no longer held back! The chaos heavenly extreme sword split into two!

The sword in his left hand was as black as ink, condensed from pure Power of Gui Xu. It channeled the power of the Gui Xu Nether Domain within the prototype, turning into a 'Gui Xu Void-Rending Slash' that pierced directly toward the core of Devour Cosmos's all-devouring black hole vortex!

The sword in his right hand flowed with clear light, containing the vitality of Creation and a hint of Grandmist purple intent. It channeled the shimmering light of the newly stabilized Lava Star Domain within the prototype, turning into a 'Creation Heaven-Opening Slash' that met Nether Skeleton's world-ending Death Thunder storm!

Both swords struck out together! The Peak power of 310,000 Yuan Force! Under the enhancement of the Grandmist projection, the power increased even further!
