238: Rules riot, time and space turbulence

【 Ding! 】

【 The Host has actively touched a taboo, provoking the will of a world-destroying existence with a Mortal body, triggering a total collapse of the Small World's rules! 】

【 Method of death: Erased by a supreme concept, traces of existence completely evaporated—highly innovative and destructive! 】

【 Comprehensive evaluation: SSS! 】

【 Congratulations to the Host for obtaining an epic-grade reward! 】

【 Reward 1: Aura of the Era Calamity (a wisp). 】

【 Note: This aura originates from the end of the world; it can be used to deter low-level existences, or to corrupt Magic Treasures or Divine Souls, causing them to undergo unpredictable mutations. 】

【 Reward 2: Special talent 'Elementary Time Law Affinity'. 】

【 Note: The Host's perception of time flow becomes acute, granting a higher survival rate in areas of spacetime turbulence, and a very low probability of glimpsing fragments of the past and future. 】

【 Reward 3: Talent 'Indestructible Divine Soul' has been strengthened, upgrading to 'Indestructible True Soul'! 】

【 Note: The essence of the Divine Soul has received a leap in quality, gaining basic resistance against conceptual and Law-based erasure attacks. 】

A series of System notification sounds, like celestial music from the Nine Heavens, rang out in Lin Fan's Sea of Consciousness.

Within the preset concealment anchor point, his figure turned from ethereal to solid, slowly coalescing.

Lin Fan opened his eyes, and the entire world, within his perception, was already completely different.

He could "see" that the space around him was no longer a stable whole, but filled with countless minute wrinkles and faults.

He could even "hear" that slight and profound humming sound emitted as time flowed.

From deep within his Divine Soul, a sense of unprecedented solidity and immortality emerged.

If his Divine Soul was previously resilient glass, then now, it was a polished diamond.

Lin Fan stretched out his hand, his thoughts stirring.

The Void Realm three feet in front of him, like gentle water, was easily parted by him, creating a ripple.

This was a deeper level of control over the Space Law.

"SSS-grade evaluation..."

Lin Fan muttered softly, an indescribable ecstasy welling up from the deepest part of his heart, washing over his entire body.

This wave, he made a killing.

Just as he was immersed in the joy of his gains, the entire world let out its final wail.

Rumble—

The ground beneath his feet, like a biscuit crushed by an invisible giant hand, began to disintegrate and collapse over a large area.

The gray sky overhead was completely torn apart by that blood-colored rift that pierced through heaven and earth.

The Chaos of the Void Realm outside, carrying violent Law turbulence, poured in like a roaring galaxy.

Mountains and rivers turned to dust.

Forests were uprooted and ground into powder in the spatial storm.

Rivers, lakes, and seas evaporated instantly.

The entire Myriad Realms Small World was heading toward irredeemable destruction.

An apocalypse affecting everyone had descended.

...

At the edge of the cavern ruins, Yue Xi's figure stumbled out from behind a giant rock.

In the instant that destructive will erupted, she followed Lin Fan's final voice transmission, using all her strength to activate a protective secret treasure, narrowly escaping the first wave of impact.

But at this moment, her situation was equally precarious.

Streaks of pitch-black spatial rifts continuously flashed and disappeared around her.

The ground beneath her feet could collapse at any moment, dragging her into the Chaos turbulence underground.

Yue Xi's face was as pale as paper, but she had no feelings of worry for herself.

Her gaze was fixed intently on the area that had become the core of the destructive storm, her heart feeling as if it were being tightly gripped by a cold hand.

He had once again... died in front of her.

And in a way that was more thorough and more resolute than any time before.

This time, could he still come back to life?

Would that guiding fluctuation appear again?

Immense unease and panic were almost about to swallow her mind.

...

On the other side, Blood Shadow and the people of the Netherworld Palace under his command suffered the most tragic backlash.

That flesh-and-blood altar was the core of all their power and rituals.

When the altar was detonated, they bore the brunt of it.

Pfft!

Blood Shadow violently spat out a mouthful of black blood, half of his body vaporized on the spot by that destructive will, exposing ghastly white bones and wriggling internal organs.

The black-robed figures beside him had died in droves in an instant.

The few remaining were also severely injured, their Divine Souls withered.

"Madman!"

"A complete and utter madman!"

In Blood Shadow's eyes, there was no longer the previous fanaticism and greed, only endless resentment and fear.

He never dreamed that the perfect ritual he had meticulously planned for hundreds of years would be completely destroyed by a madman who appeared out of nowhere, in such an absurd and inconceivable way.

He didn't even have time to think about what Lin Fan's background was.

A strong desire to survive drove him to burn his essence blood, transforming into a tattered bloody light, fleeing in a sorry state toward the edge of the Small World, which was on the verge of shattering.

As for the Prodigies like Yao Tianqi and Lu Xinghe, they had long since lost their previous arrogance and composure.

In the face of this indiscriminate natural disaster, their cultivation and status seemed so fragile.

"Ah!"

A Chief Disciple could not dodge in time and was caught by a spatial turbulence that appeared out of thin air.

His protective spiritual light shattered instantly as if it were made of paper, and he was pulled and twisted, turning into a mist of blood amidst a shrill scream.

"Run!"

"Get out of this hellhole!"

Yao Tianqi, acting like a madman, sacrificed a golden feather from his true form, turning into a stream of light and fleeing toward the exit without looking back.

Everyone had become frightened birds, struggling to survive in the ruins of the apocalypse.

...

Inside the anchor point, Lin Fan took in the chaotic scene outside.

There was not a trace of fear on his face; instead, a hint of excitement appeared.

To others, this was a desperate situation, a purgatory.

But to him, this was heaven, a buffet.

His gaze began to scan the spacetime turbulence raging everywhere.

Relying on his newly acquired talent "Elementary Time Law Affinity", those originally chaotic and disorderly, deadly turbulences presented a peculiar pattern in his eyes.

He could vaguely perceive their trajectories.

Even, when he immersed his mind, some fragmented, bizarre scenes began to flash through his mind.

He saw a towering immortal palace floating above the sea of clouds.

He saw a giant beast devouring stars, roaring in the dark Universe.

That was a remnant shadow of the past.

He also saw... a scene of Yue Xi being struck by a blood-colored lightning bolt from the sky, her body charred black.

That was a fragment of the future.

Lin Fan's mind stirred slightly.

This feeling was too wonderful.

He no longer hid.

An extremely bold idea grew wildly in his heart.

Since the whole world was in Chaos, why not... just make it more chaotic.

He wanted to use this once-in-a-millennium "natural disaster" to push his cultivation to the peak of the Soul Transformation Stage, or even higher!

Lin Fan took a deep breath, his figure flashed, and he actively rushed out from the safe anchor point.

He did not go to look for Yue Xi, nor did he go to hunt down the fleeing enemies.

His target was the most dangerous, most chaotic place in this world.

He rushed into an area where the spacetime turbulence was most dense.

Here, the past, present, and future—three timelines—had weirdly overlapped.

A wisp of Sword Intent from eternity ago appeared abruptly in front of him.

That Sword Intent was very faint, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

But what it contained was a supreme Dao Charm capable of severing stars.

It was the final trace left here by a peerless sword immortal who had fallen who knows how many tens of thousands of years ago.

Lin Fan's eyes lit up instantly.

This was it.

Not only did he not dodge, but he grinned, revealing a bright smile.

He spread his arms, completely undefended, and actively rushed forward to collide with that Sword Intent remnant shadow.
