Final Chapter

The World Destruction Clan general saw the determined looks in White Night’s eyes and those of the others, showing no intention of surrender. The killing intent in his eyes surged forth like a tangible force.

He slowly raised the World Destruction Blade in his hand. Black destructive energy rolled on the blade like a living entity, and the temperature in the air plummeted. Even the surrounding violent lightning energy seemed to be suppressed by this destructive aura, becoming sluggish.

"Stubborn fools! Since you refuse to be captured, don't blame this general for making your souls scatter!"

Before his words finished, the World Destruction Clan general stomped his feet fiercely on the black rocks of Thunder Sacred Mountain, and he shot towards White Night like an arrow leaving a bowstring.

The World Destruction Blade cut through the void, leaving a dark trajectory. Wherever the blade light passed, subtle cracks appeared in space. Black energy seeping from the cracks merged with the blade light, forming a black torrent capable of devouring everything.

The thunder stones on the surface of Thunder Sacred Mountain instantly turned into dust under the impact of this power. The shattered stones were swept into the black torrent, leaving no trace.

White Night's pupils constricted. He could clearly feel the terrifying power contained in this blade light—it far exceeded the full-strength strike of an ordinary Soul Transformation Stage cultivator. If hit head-on, even with the protection of the four-color guidance crystal energy, he would likely be severely wounded.

He dared not be careless in the slightest, swiftly mobilizing the four-color guidance crystal energy and space-time golden core energy within his dantian, continuously injecting both into the Spacetime Blade in his hand. Pale golden time energy, greenish-blue nebula energy, dark purple void energy, and light green life energy intertwined and wrapped around the blade, forming a dazzling four-color light blade. The space around the light blade subtly warped due to the excessive concentration of energy, emitting unsettling fluctuations.

"Clang—!"

The four-color Spacetime Blade and the World Destruction Blade collided with a thunderous crash. Two vastly different energies fiercely clashed at the point of impact. Black destructive energy and the four-color energy mutually devoured and offset each other, producing a deafening roar, like a thunderclap exploding in one's ears.

The energy shockwave spread wildly in all directions from the collision point. Rocks on Thunder Sacred Mountain were ripped up by the shockwave, shattering into countless small pieces in the air, then ground into powder by the subsequent energy torrent.

White Night felt a tremendous force transmit through his arm, his tiger's mouth instantly split open, blood dripping down the hilt of the Spacetime Blade. His arm went numb, and he was forced back three steps, each step leaving a deep imprint on the thunder stone ground.

The World Destruction Clan general was also not well. He was shaken by the backlash, his hands holding the World Destruction Blade trembled slightly, and the black energy on the blade also experienced a brief disruption.

He looked at White Night in disbelief: "I didn't expect you, a mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, to be able to withstand my full-strength strike! It seems keeping you alive will sooner or later become the greatest obstacle to our World Destruction Clan's rule over the universe! Today, you must be slain here!"

With that, the World Destruction Clan general erupted with an even denser black destructive energy. These energies, like black threads, surged from his body and flew towards the surrounding World Destruction Clan warriors.

The moment those warriors came into contact with the black threads, their eyes instantly turned crimson, and their auras surged several times over. Their already hideous faces became even more distorted, like maddened beasts, as they charged towards Liu Ruyan and Rune Master.

Their speed and strength were greatly enhanced, crushing the thunder stones beneath their feet and leaving deep gouges.

"Silver Wolf, stop them!" White Night's heart tightened at the sight. Liu Ruyan and Rune Master were currently focused on refining the World Destruction Purification Pill and setting up the formation, making it impossible for them to deal with these berserk World Destruction Clan warriors. He shouted while tightening his grip on the Spacetime Blade again, charging towards the World Destruction Clan general. "I'll hold him off, you two speed up and finish the Purification Pill as quickly as possible!"

Wind Howling Silver Wolf let out a low growl, a fierce glint flashing in its eyes. Its body erupted with a three-color light, a fusion of life energy, void energy, and Extreme Cold Spiritual Power. These lights formed a massive protective domain around it.

Within the domain, silver Extreme Cold Spiritual Power shot out like fine ice needles towards the charging World Destruction Clan warriors. Their bodies were instantly frozen, and their movements became sluggish; dark purple void power acted like invisible blades, continuously cutting through the warriors' defenses, leaving deep, bone-visible wounds on them; light green life energy, like gentle flowing water, constantly repaired the cracks appearing in the protective domain due to the warriors' assault, maintaining its stability.

A World Destruction Clan warrior broke through the restraint of the Extreme Cold Spiritual Power, brandishing the black battle saber in his hand, and slashed towards Liu Ruyan.

A cold glint flashed in Wind Howling Silver Wolf's eyes. Its figure appeared before Liu Ruyan like a ghost, and itCohesion up dense three-color energy on its wolf claws, fiercely striking the warrior's battle saber.

With a "clang," the warrior's battle saber was instantly knocked away. The wolf claw landed on the warrior's chest, and three-color energy surged into the warrior's body. The warrior let out a horrific scream, his body gradually turning into ashes under the erosion of the energy.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Liu Ruyan's forehead as her hands rapidly performed complex incantations.

In the spirit gathering furnace before her, green alchemical flames burned fiercely. The Purity Pill, Lightning Resistance Pill, and Anti-Destruction Pill inside the furnace gradually melted into liquid under the intense heat.

Guided by Liu Ruyan's spiritual power, these liquids merged and intertwined, forming a black liquid vortex.

The vortex continuously rotated, drawing in a large amount of surrounding spiritual energy and lightning energy. A black pill gradually condensed in the center of the vortex—the World Destruction Purification Pill. Faint golden lines flowed across the pill's surface; these lines moved like living things, emitting a pure purification aura. They were the marks of life energy and spacetime energy merging, containing powerful strength capable of purifying all destructive energy.

Meanwhile, Rune Master, seizing the moment while Wind Howling Silver Wolf held back the World Destruction Clan warriors, quickly set up a Void Enemy Trapping Array around them.

He took out dozens of dark purple runes from his storage bag and scattered them on the ground according to specific directions.

The moment the runes landed, they erupted with dark purple light. The lights connected, forming a massive energy cage.

As soon as the cage formed, several World Destruction Clan warriors who were charging at the front crashed into it. The dark purple void power within the cage instantly surged, continuously compressing the warriors' activity space.

The warriors frantically swung their weapons, attacking the cage's barrier, but could only leave fleeting marks on it.

As the void power continuously compressed, the warriors' bodies were gradually disintegrated by the void power, emitting horrific screams, finally turning into black smoke that dissipated into the air.

The battle between White Night and the World Destruction Clan general had entered a heated phase.

The World Destruction Blade in the general's hand constantly changed its moves, each one containing different destructive techniques.

He first swung the World Destruction Blade, unleashing countless black blade shadows. These shadows shot towards White Night like a swarm of locusts, each containing enough power to severely wound a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. Immediately after, he plunged the World Destruction Blade into the ground, and black destructive energy spread along the ground, forming a black energy vortex beneath White Night's feet, attempting to pull White Night into the vortex and devour him with destructive energy.

Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black venom. The venom transformed into black threads in the air, coiling towards White Night. These threads contained strong corrosiveness, capable of corroding even space into tiny holes.

White Night, with the enhancement of Spacetime Law, continuously adjusted the flow of time around him.

Facing the sky full of blade shadows, he slowed down the time flow, calmly evading each attack, while simultaneously swinging the Spacetime Blade to shatter some of the blade shadows; facing the energy vortex at his feet, he sped up the time flow, his body leaping out of the vortex's range like a ghost, avoiding being swallowed; facing the black venom threads, he again slowed down the time flow, using the Spacetime Blade to sever the threads one by one. The severed threads fell to the ground, corroding deep pits into the thunder stones.

"Do you think delaying time like this can change the outcome?" The World Destruction Clan general laughed maniacally while attacking. "Let me tell you a secret: our World Destruction Clan's grand army has already set up an inescapable net in the Nether Star Domain! As soon as you step into the Nether Star Domain, you will become sacrifices for us to awaken the 'Source of World Destruction'! By then, the heart of the universe will become our World Destruction Clan's tool to rule the entire universe, and all civilizations will tremble under our iron hooves!"

White Night's heart trembled violently; he finally understood the World Destruction Clan's true conspiracy.

Their constant snatching of guidance crystals before wasn't just to find the heart of the universe, but to use the energy of the five guidance crystals, combined with the life energy of a hundred thousand beings, to forcibly awaken the dormant Source of World Destruction in the Nether Star Domain.

Once the Source of World Destruction awakened, the destructive energy it contained would be enough to devour the entire universe. By then, all civilizations would turn to naught, and the universe would return to a state of complete silence.

"Dream on! I will never let your conspiracy succeed!" White Night roared, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He knew that he couldn't delay any longer. He had to deal with the World Destruction Clan general in front of him quickly and head to the Nether Star Domain to stop the World Destruction Clan's conspiracy.

He suddenly abandoned his defense, allowing the World Destruction Blade's light to graze his shoulder. The sharp blade light left a deep, bone-visible wound on his shoulder, and black destructive energy surged into his body through the wound, beginning to corrode his meridians.

But White Night didn't hesitate. Seizing the moment when the World Destruction Clan general's old strength had just faded and new strength hadn't yet emerged, he fiercely plunged the Spacetime Blade into the general's chest. Four-color energy surged frantically along the blade into the general's body, like four torrents, beginning to madly purify the destructive energy within him.

"No—! This is impossible!" The World Destruction Clan general let out a bloodcurdling scream. He could clearly feel the destructive energy within his body rapidly dissipating, replaced by the erosion of the four-color energy.

His body began to swell uncontrollably, and the energy within him became extremely chaotic. "Even if I die, I'll drag you all down with me!"

"Quick, get back! He's going to self-destruct!" White Night felt the increasingly violent energy within the World Destruction Clan general, his heart startled, and he shouted loudly to Wind Howling Silver Wolf beside him, simultaneously pushing Wind Howling Silver Wolf away with all his might.

Immediately after, he mobilized all the spacetime energy in his body, forming a pale golden spacetime barrier around the World Destruction Clan general, attempting to confine the self-destruct energy within a certain range to minimize the damage caused by the self-destruction.

Just at this critical moment, Liu Ruyan finally completed the refining of the World Destruction Purification Pill. Without any hesitation, she threw the World Destruction Purification Pill in her hand towards the World Destruction Clan general.

The black pill arced through the air and exploded the moment it touched the World Destruction Clan general's body.

Pale golden purification energy enveloped the World Destruction Clan general like a tide. This purification energy, as if alive, surged madly into the general's body, suppressing the chaotic destructive energy within him and preventing the self-destruction from escalating further.

The energy generated by the self-destruction, constrained by the dual restrictions of Purification Energy and the Spacetime Barrier, ultimately only formed a small energy explosion at the summit of Thunder Holy Mountain.

The black Destruction Energy and the pale golden Purification Energy intertwined, forming a brief energy vortex before dissipating into the air.

The body of the World Destruction Clan general turned into ashes in the explosion, leaving not a single trace behind.

Under the corrosion of the Purification Energy, the remaining World Destruction Clan soldiers' internal Destruction Energy rapidly dissipated, their aura sharply declined, and they finally lost their combat capability, collapsing onto the ground, unable to launch any further attacks.

The battle finally ended, and everyone let out a sigh of relief, their strained nerves instantly relaxing.

White Night clutched the wound on his shoulder; the black Destruction Energy was still continuously eroding his meridians, causing him a piercing pain.

He walked over to Liu Ruyan and took the pale green healing pill she handed him. The pill dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth, and a gentle energy surged down his throat into his body, beginning to repair his damaged meridians and suppress the internal Destruction Energy. "Thanks to all of you, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. We must now immediately head to the Nether Star Domain to stop the World Destruction Clan from awakening the World Destruction Origin. Time is running out."

While clearing the battlefield, Rune Master discovered a black crystal left behind by the World Destruction Clan general.

He picked up the crystal and infused a trace of Spiritual Power into it. The crystal surface instantly lit up with black light, and a three-dimensional deployment map appeared before everyone. "According to the map, the World Destruction Clan has deployed 100,000 troops around the 'World Destruction Altar' in the Nether Star Domain. These troops are the elite forces of the World Destruction Clan and possess extremely strong combat power.

The center of the altar is the sealed location of the World Destruction Origin. They plan to use the energy of five Guiding Crystals, combined with the life energy of 100,000 living beings, to forcibly awaken the World Destruction Origin three days from now."

White Night tightly gripped the four-colored Guiding Crystal energy body in his hand, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes: "We must gather the last Guiding Crystal within three days, find the heart of the universe, and thwart the World Destruction Clan's conspiracy. Now, head immediately to the Nether Star Domain!"

Without the slightest hesitation, everyone quickly boarded the spacetime shuttle.

The shuttle started its engine, and pale blue energy flames sprayed from the stern. The hull sped toward the Nether Star Domain like a bolt of lightning. After three days and three nights of full-speed travel, the spacetime shuttle finally arrived at the Nether Star Domain.

As soon as they entered the Nether Star Domain, a dense wave of Destruction Energy rushed toward them, making everyone feel oppressed.

This star domain was pitch black, devoid of starlight, with only countless Dead Stars floating in the Void. The surfaces of these Dead Stars were covered in cracks, showing no signs of life; the scene was desolate and terrifying. The air was filled with a faint smell of blood and decay, making one feel nauseous.

"Energy signals from the World Destruction Altar detected! It's on the 'World Destruction Star' ahead!" The voice of the space technology expert carried a hint of nervousness as he pointed to a red dot on the screen. "We also detected massive Life Energy fluctuations, but they are very weak, clearly having been forcibly suppressed. The World Destruction Clan is indeed capturing living beings across the universe, preparing them for sacrifice!"

White Night stood before the transparent viewport of the bridge, looking at the image of the World Destruction Star on the screen. The surface of the World Destruction Star was pitch black, covered in black altars. These altars were interconnected, forming a massive array.

Countless Energy Cages were distributed around the altars. Dozens of beings from different civilizations were imprisoned in each cage. Their eyes were filled with terror and despair, and their bodies trembled constantly from fear.

In the center of the World Destruction Altar, a black crystal was suspended—it was the fifth Guiding Crystal. A dense flow of Destruction Energy was visible on the crystal's surface; it had clearly been contaminated by the World Destruction Clan.

"The World Destruction Clan is willing to sacrifice so many living beings for their ambition—they are utterly insane!" White Night's heart was filled with rage. "We absolutely cannot let their plot succeed. We must rescue these beings and seize the Guiding Crystal as quickly as possible!"

Liu Ruyan looked at the desperate beings on the screen, her eyes full of pity: "These beings have been imprisoned for a long time, and both their bodies and spirits have suffered immense trauma. We must rescue them first before seizing the Guiding Crystal. If we seize the Guiding Crystal directly, the World Destruction Clan might resort to desperate measures and harm these innocent beings."

White Night nodded, agreeing with Liu Ruyan's idea. He quickly formulated a battle plan: "Silver Wolf, you will lead a team of agile members, utilizing Void Power to infiltrate the World Destruction Clan's defensive perimeter, destroy the Energy Cages' power sources, and rescue the trapped beings. Remember to be extremely careful and avoid detection by the World Destruction Clan.

Ruyan and Rune Master, you are responsible for using Purification Energy to suppress the World Destruction Clan's fortifications, providing cover for Silver Wolf and his team, while also preventing the World Destruction Clan from harming the beings.

I will take the opportunity to head to the center of the World Destruction Altar, seize the fifth Guiding Crystal, and stop the Sacrificial Ritual. Does everyone understand their mission?"

"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison, their eyes flashing with determined light.

The operation began. Wind Howling Silver Wolf led ten agile team members aboard a small landing craft, quietly approaching the World Destruction Star.

Shielded by the Void Power, the landing craft passed through the World Destruction Clan's defense line like a phantom, landing in a secluded corner of the World Destruction Star.

Wind Howling Silver Wolf and his team quickly jumped off the landing craft, releasing faint Void Power around their bodies to completely conceal their presence, and silently moved toward the Energy Cages.

Carefully avoiding the patrolling World Destruction Clan soldiers, they reached an Energy Cage. Wind Howling Silver Wolf extended his Wolf Claw, pale purple Void Power condensing at the tip, and gently slashed across the Energy Cage's power source.

The power source emitted a slight explosion, then lost its energy supply, and the cage barrier gradually dissipated. Seeing the cage open, the beings inside rekindled the light of hope in their eyes, and under the guidance of the team members, they quickly ran toward the landing craft.

In this manner, Wind Howling Silver Wolf and his team continuously moved across the World Destruction Star, destroying the power sources of one Energy Cage after another, rescuing more and more beings. These beings came from different civilizations: Cultivators from Xuantian Immortal Domain, the Mechanical Race from the Multiverse, Researchers from the Star Source Federation, and some Alien Species they had never seen before.

Led by the team members, they orderly boarded the landing craft and retreated toward the spacetime shuttle.

Liu Ruyan and Rune Master boarded another landing craft and arrived near the World Destruction Clan's fortifications.

Liu Ruyan took out the spirit gathering furnace and released a large amount of pale green Purification Energy. This energy surged toward the fortifications like a tide. The black Destruction Energy on the surface of the fortifications gradually dissipated under the corrosion of the Purification Energy, and their defensive capability sharply declined.

Rune Master seized the opportunity to set up a Void Array. Dark purple Runes flashed around the fortifications, continuously disrupting their energy supply, rendering the fortifications completely useless.

Discovering that the fortifications were destroyed, the World Destruction Clan soldiers rushed toward Liu Ruyan and Rune Master.

Liu Ruyan waved the spirit gathering furnace in her hand, and the pale green Purification Energy formed beams of Light Blades that shot toward the soldiers.

Hit by the Light Blades, the soldiers' internal Destruction Energy rapidly dissipated, and they lost their combat capability. Rune Master controlled the Void Array, trapping the foremost soldiers. The Void Power within the array continuously compressed, and the soldiers ultimately turned into ashes.

White Night took advantage of the distraction caused by Liu Ruyan and Rune Master engaging the World Destruction Clan soldiers, and quickly ran toward the center of the World Destruction Altar.

He avoided the surrounding World Destruction Clan soldiers, leaped, and arrived at the center of the altar. When his hand touched the fifth Guiding Crystal, a dense black Destruction Energy suddenly erupted from the crystal, surging toward him like a tide, attempting to corrode his body and meridians.

White Night was prepared, and immediately mobilized the Four-Colored Guiding Crystal Energy within his body, forming a four-colored barrier around himself.

The barrier acted like sturdy armor, blocking the corrosion of the Destruction Energy. Subsequently, he injected pale green Life Energy and pale golden Time Energy into the Guiding Crystal, slowly beginning to purify the Destruction Energy within the crystal.

The black Destruction Energy and the two types of energy intertwined and canceled each other out within the crystal. The black color on the crystal's surface gradually faded, and it began to restore its original luster.

"Stop! How dare you disrupt the great undertaking of our World Destruction Clan!"

As the roar sounded, a towering black figure slowly emerged from the shadows behind the World Destruction Altar.

This was the leader of the World Destruction Clan. He wore a set of black armor covering his entire body. The armor was engraved with distorted Destruction Runes, and dense black energy flowed between the Runes, like small snakes swimming across the armor.

In his hand, he held a World Destruction Scepter with a black crystal embedded at the top. Every time the scepter was waved, subtle black ripples appeared in the surrounding space, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.

The World Destruction Leader's face was hidden beneath the armor's helmet; only a pair of eyes emitting scarlet light could be seen, filled with cold killing intent and arrogant ambition.

He walked step by step toward White Night. Each step caused the World Destruction Altar to tremble violently, and the black Runes on the altar's surface illuminated, releasing even denser Destruction Energy, attempting to swallow White Night.

"A lowly being dares to covet the heart of the universe?" The World Destruction Leader's voice was as cold as ten thousand years of ice, carrying unquestionable authority. "Today, this Leader will show you how miserable the fate of opposing our World Destruction Clan is!"

Before his voice faded, the World Destruction Leader swung the World Destruction Scepter in his hand and sharply pointed it toward White Night.

The black crystal at the tip of the scepter erupted in a thick black Beam of Light. The light beam, carrying Destruction Energy that could devour everything, shot toward White Night.

Where the Beam of Light passed, the air was instantly torn apart, the rocks on the altar surface melted into magma, and even the surrounding space showed obvious distortion.

White Night’s expression drastically changed. He could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within this Beam of Light—it had reached the peak strength of the Nascent Soul Stage, far surpassing any enemy he had encountered before.

He dared not be careless in the slightest, immediately mobilizing all the Four-Colored Guiding Crystal Energy and space-time golden core energy within his body, forming a Four-Colored Energy Shield in front of him.

At the same time, he shielded the fifth Guiding Crystal, which he had only half-purified, behind him, preventing it from being contaminated by Destruction Energy again.

"Boom—!"

The black Beam of Light violently collided with the Four-Colored Energy Shield, and the two types of energy fiercely clashed at the point of impact.

The black Destruction Energy was like a greedy beast, continuously devouring the four-colored energy, and the shield's light dimmed at a visible speed.

White Night felt a tremendous force transmit through the shield. His body was shaken backward repeatedly, his feet leaving two deep trenches on the altar surface, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"White Night!" Seeing this, Liu Ruyan and Wind Howling Silver Wolf felt their hearts tighten and immediately rushed toward White Night to provide support.

Liu Ruyan waved the spirit gathering furnace in her hand, releasing a large amount of pale green purifying energy. This energy surged like a tide into the four-colored energy shield, replenishing its power. Meanwhile, the Wind Howling Silver Wolf erupted with three-colored energy, forming a massive energy claw that fiercely struck towards the World Destruction Leader, attempting to distract him.

The World Destruction Leader snorted coldly, not even bothering to acknowledge the Wind Howling Silver Wolf's attack.

He waved his left hand, and a black energy barrier appeared out of thin air, blocking the energy claw's attack.

Afterward, he once again waved the World Destruction Scepter, firing two black energy threads towards Liu Ruyan and the Wind Howling Silver Wolf, attempting to bind them both.

Seeing this, the Rune Master immediately manipulated the void array he had previously set up. Dark purple void energy rose from the ground, forming two energy chains that entangled the black energy threads, forcibly pulling them into the array and disintegrating them with void energy. "White Night, we're here to help you! Quickly purify the guide crystals. As long as you collect all five guide crystals, you can summon the heart of the universe, and then you'll be able to suppress the World Destruction Leader's power!"

White Night nodded, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and refocused his attention on the fifth guide crystal.

He continuously poured the remaining four-colored energy from his body into the guide crystal, while also accelerating the output of time energy, using the Spacetime Law to speed up the purification process.

The blackness on the surface of the guide crystal grew fainter and fainter, gradually revealing its original black crystalline luster, though a small amount of destructive energy still remained within the crystal, requiring further purification.

Seeing that White Night was still persistently purifying the guide crystal, the World Destruction Leader's killing intent intensified.

He suddenly leaped, pouncing towards White Night, the World Destruction Scepter in his hand whistling through the air as it fiercely smashed towards White Night's head. The black runes on the scepter erupted with dazzling light, releasing even denser destructive energy, attempting to kill White Night with a single blow.

Just at this critical moment, among the beings who had been rescued earlier, several powerful individuals from different civilizations suddenly stepped forward.

Although their bodies were still weak, their eyes shone with resolute light. A mech warrior from the Star Source Federation piloted a giant mech, crashing fiercely into the World Destruction Leader; a Golden Core Stage cultivator from the Xuantian Immortal Domain waved his longsword, unleashing a massive spiritual energy slash towards the World Destruction Leader's back; and an elder from the Crystal Clan erupted with brilliant crystal energy, forming a huge crystal barrier in front of White Night, buying him time to purify the guide crystal.

"A bunch of ants who don't know their place!" The World Destruction Leader roared, forced to stop his attack and turn to confront the assault of these beings.

He waved the World Destruction Scepter, releasing black energy blades that carved deep cracks into the mech warrior's mech, shattered the cultivator's spiritual energy slash, and shook the crystal barrier until it was covered in fissures.

But these beings did not retreat; they continued to charge at the World Destruction Leader one after another, using their lives to buy time for White Night.

White Night looked at these beings, who were fighting selflessly to protect the universe, and his heart filled with emotion and strength.

He took a deep breath, unleashed all the energy within him, and fully concentrated on purifying the fifth guide crystal. Pale golden time energy, cyan-green nebula energy, dark purple void energy, and pale green life energy rapidly circulated within the guide crystal, continuously washing away the residual destructive energy.

Finally, just as the World Destruction Leader was about to break through the beings' defense, the last trace of destructive energy in the fifth guide crystal was completely purified.

The guide crystal erupted with dazzling black light, resonating strongly with the four guide crystals within White Night's body. Five beams of different colored light surged from White Night's body, converging above the World Destruction Altar, forming a massive five-colored light pillar.

The light pillar shot into the sky, piercing through the black clouds of the Nether Star Domain and illuminating the entire star domain.

Countless golden light specks scattered from the light pillar. These specks, as if alive, flew towards every corner of the universe. At the same time, at the very center of the universe, an even more brilliant golden light slowly rose—it was the energy signal of the heart of the universe!

"No—! This is impossible! How could the heart of the universe be summoned so early!" The World Destruction Leader stared at the five-colored light pillar above, his eyes filled with incredulous terror, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. "Our plan, how could it fail!"

White Night slowly stood up, surrounded by the energy of the five-colored guide crystals, like a deity controlling the universe.

He looked at the panicked World Destruction Leader, his voice firm and majestic: "World Destruction Clan, your conspiracy to destroy the universe and rule everything was doomed to fail from the very beginning! The peace of the universe requires our collective protection; it is not something you evil beings can disrupt!"

With that, White Night mobilized the energy of the five-colored guide crystals within him, echoing the five-colored light pillar above.

The light pillar erupted with even more dazzling radiance, and a massive five-colored energy hand extended from it, fiercely grasping towards the World Destruction Leader. The energy hand contained the primordial power of the universe, which the World Destruction Leader was utterly unable to resist, and he was firmly held by it.

"No—! I refuse to accept this! I will destroy the entire universe!" The World Destruction Leader struggled frantically, attempting to release all the destructive energy within him to perish with White Night.

But the power of the five-colored energy hand was too immense; as soon as his destructive energy was released, it was instantly purified by the energy hand, and his body gradually lost strength under the hand's compression, eventually transforming into a black mist that completely dissipated into the air.

With the death of the World Destruction Leader, the remaining World Destruction Clan soldiers lost their command and scattered.

Some soldiers attempted to escape the Nether Star Domain but were intercepted by the Cosmic Peace Alliance's Psionic Fleet, which arrived shortly after, and were all annihilated. The threat of the World Destruction Clan was finally completely lifted.

At this moment, the five-colored light pillar above suddenly began to shrink, and a brilliant golden light slowly descended from it.

The light gradually condensed into a fist-sized crystal. The crystal's surface flowed with pure primordial cosmic energy, emitting a warm and sacred glow—this was the heart of the universe!

The heart of the universe slowly landed in White Night's palm, and a gentle energy surged into White Night's body through his hand, repairing his damaged body and meridians.

At the same time, the heart of the universe released countless golden energy streams that spread to every corner of the universe. Wherever these energy streams passed, the black destructive energy dissipated, lush green vegetation regrew on dead stars, polluted star domains gradually regained their purity, the primordial energy in the universe became denser, and the cultivation speed and technological development of various civilizations received unprecedented boosts.

Liu Ruyan, the Wind Howling Silver Wolf, the Rune Master, and all the surviving beings knelt before White Night and the heart of the universe, their eyes filled with awe and gratitude.

They knew that it was White Night who had led them to defeat the World Destruction Clan, protected the peace of the universe, and allowed them to regain their homes.

White Night, holding the heart of the universe, slowly ascended into the sky.

He looked at the kneeling beings below and at the Nether Star Domain gradually returning to life, his heart filled with relief and pride.

He knew that this battle to protect the universe, though difficult, had ultimately been won by them.

Afterward, White Night led everyone to send the heart of the universe to the center of the universe. At the cosmic center, White Night gently placed the heart of the universe into a groove formed by primordial cosmic energy.

The heart of the universe perfectly fit into the groove, erupting with dazzling golden light. Countless golden energy lines extended from the heart of the universe, connecting every planet and every civilization in the universe, forming a massive cosmic energy network.

From then on, the various civilizations in the universe were interconnected through the energy network, sharing the primordial energy of the universe, exchanging knowledge, and developing together.

At White Night's suggestion, the Cosmic Peace Alliance established the "heart of the universe Guardian Tower" at the cosmic center, with an "Elite Guardian Legion" composed of elites from various civilizations, collectively guarding the heart of the universe and maintaining cosmic peace and stability.

White Night, meanwhile, became the universally acknowledged "Cosmic Guardian." He often traveled on his spacetime shuttle, patrolling every corner of the universe, helping civilizations in need, and resolving conflicts between them.

The Wind Howling Silver Wolf always accompanied him, becoming his most capable assistant; Liu Ruyan cultivated countless excellent alchemists in the Cosmic Alchemy Academy, and the elixirs she refined benefited every being in the universe; the Mechanical Emperor and Aila led research teams to develop more advanced technologies, continuously advancing cosmic civilization.

Hundreds of years later, White Night had become a legendary figure in the universe.

His story was recorded in the annals of various civilizations, becoming an inspiring example for future generations.

The various civilizations in the universe coexisted peacefully, interacted, and developed together, forming a prosperous "Cosmic Community."

On a bright, sunny day, White Night stood atop the heart of the universe Guardian Tower, gazing at the brilliant starry sky.

The Wind Howling Silver Wolf lay at his feet, and Liu Ruyan, the Mechanical Emperor, and others stood beside him.

"Do you remember when we first met in the Xuantian Immortal Domain? Back then, none of us imagined that one day we would be protecting the entire universe together," Liu Ruyan murmured softly, her eyes full of reminiscence.

White Night smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on the distant starry sky, where the light of the heart of the universe still shone brightly, like the heart of the cosmos, continuously supplying life and energy to the universe.

"Indeed, fate is always full of surprises. But as long as we hold the heart of guardianship and unite as one, no difficulty can stop us. The peace of the universe requires our collective protection, and the future of the universe also requires our collective creation."

The Wind Howling Silver Wolf let out a low growl, rubbing its head against White Night's palm, as if agreeing with his words.

The Mechanical Emperor, Aila, and others also nodded, their eyes sparkling with anticipation for the future.

In the starry sky, countless planets, nourished by the energy of the heart of the universe, burst forth with vibrant life; countless civilizations, in a peaceful environment, continuously developed and progressed, creating brilliant civilizational achievements.

White Night's legend of the immortal path had long transcended his personal cultivation journey, becoming a shared memory of all races in the universe.

And the fusion of the Xuantian Immortal Domain and the Multiverse, in this journey of protecting the universe, also reached an unprecedented height, jointly composing a magnificent epic of all races guarding peace!

...
