335: EX-level reward! The Divine Lord's Gaze!

That jade pendant, in Lin Fan's palm, appeared so ordinary, so unremarkable.

But all the powerful individuals present, whether they were magnates of the Spirit Realm or generals of the World-Ending Divine Army, at this moment, felt a terrifying Aura from that tiny jade pendant that made their Souls tremble!

That wasn't the strength of power, but an essential, transcendent, dimension- and time-spanning... Supremacy!

"It's here! It's here!"

"The final safeguard! The perfect closed loop! Explode for me!"

Lin Fan's heart roared madly, and the brilliant smile on his face had taken on a fanatical, all-or-nothing fervor.

Facing Demon Leader's fatal finger strike, capable of annihilating stars, he didn't hesitate in the slightest. He clenched his five fingers tightly!

Crack!

A crisp cracking sound echoed in the grand hall, clearly overriding the wail of collapsing space!

The moment the jade pendant shattered, a wisp of gray Sword Intent, so faint it was almost negligible, yet so sharp it seemed capable of severing all Karma through the ages, burst forth from within it!

This wisp of Sword Intent did not rush towards Demon Leader, nor did it attempt to protect Lin Fan.

It merely, instinctively and proudly, launched a supreme... judgment against the oncoming Law of Annihilation that dared to challenge its majesty!

Boom!!!

There was no earth-shattering roar.

No world-destroying light burst.

The moment Demon Leader's enraged finger of Annihilation, condensed with his full power, collided with that wisp of supreme Sword Intent.

Where Lin Fan had been standing, an absolute, pure "nothingness" appeared.

His body, along with his Soul, and even all traces of his existence in this time and space, were instantly erased, evaporated, and annihilated under the clash of these two powers not belonging to this realm.

He didn't turn to dust, nor did he become specks of light.

He simply vanished.

As if he had never appeared in this world.

He died utterly.

He died cleanly and completely.

【You have died...】

...In the dead silent grand hall.

Demon Leader slowly withdrew his finger, a cruel and pleased sneer on his face.

It was dealt with.

That bug that made him lose face had completely vanished from this Universe.

However, the smile on his face lasted for less than a breath before instantly freezing.

An indescribable, incomprehensible, irresistible terrifying pressure, without any warning, transcended endless spatial dimensions and descended upon this grand hall!

Before this pressure, Demon Leader's terrifying Aura at the Mahayana Peak was as insignificant as a speck of dust before the sun.

He felt his Soul, his thoughts, the very foundation of his existence, were being tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand. With just a thought, he would completely return to nothingness.

"Thump!"

The supreme commander of the Ninth Vanguard Fleet, that conqueror who regarded all beings as ants, at this moment, his knees buckled, and he prostrated himself on the ground in a five-limbed posture!

His ferocious bone armor groaned under the unbearable pressure. His Soul fire flickered violently, almost on the verge of extinguishing.

"Divine... Divine Lord!"

Demon Leader's voice carried an unprecedented, bone-deep fear and tremor.

He didn't even dare to look up, only burying his head deeply into the cold Soul jade floor.

A cold, indifferent gaze, seemingly transcending time and emotion, cast down from an unknown high dimension, sweeping across the entire grand hall.

All the Spirit Realm powerhouses who came to worship, under this gaze, even their thoughts ceased to function, like insects solidified in amber, maintaining their prostrate posture, unmoving.

That gaze did not linger on them for a single moment.

It fell directly upon Demon Leader, and that terrifying pressure instantly intensified tenfold!

"Divine Lord, please appease your wrath!"

Demon Leader felt his Soul was about to shatter. He used all his strength, fearfully kowtowing and roaring.

"This subordinate... this subordinate just now, discovered a... a bug carrying the Aura of a 'rebel' in this realm!"

"This subordinate does not know its Origin and has already killed it on the spot! Please, Divine Lord, be enlightened!"

As the three words "rebel" were uttered, that gaze seemed to fluctuate slightly.

It slowly shifted, falling upon the absolutely void space where Lin Fan had just been erased.

The gaze lingered there for a full second.

Then, that terrifying pressure, enough to crush the entire Spirit Realm, slowly receded like a tide.

Everything returned to silence.

As if nothing had happened.

"Hoo... hoo... hoo..."

Demon Leader collapsed on the ground, gasping for air like a fish pulled from water. What seeped from the cracks in his bone armor was not sweat, but wisps of dissipating Origin Soul Power.

He had survived.

The relief of surviving a calamity lasted only a moment before being replaced by endless rage and bone-deep fear.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes, burning with Annihilation Soul fire, fixed on the spot where Lin Fan had vanished, filled with monstrous hatred.

That bug... that bug!

He not only humiliated him but also almost got him killed!

What was going on with that "rebel" Aura?!

Why would this seemingly barren and weak world be connected to those forbidden existences?!

An unprecedented and chilling thought began to grow wildly in his mind.

This world... has a big problem!
