436: Burning Star Collapse

Even so, Su Han still did not retreat!

He understood.

To retreat was to turn into a wisp of Death Ash in the sky above this battlefield!

Fight to the death!

Risk everything!

Burn the last bit of Calamity Ash!

“Calamity Ash Battle Arm · Unquenchable Furnace!”

Su Han let out a roar like a dying beast, as if he wanted to ignite his Soul!

His shattered Calamity Ash Battle Arm slammed into the ground!

Boom!

Centered around him, a circle of viscous, dark-red energy burning with terrifying high temperatures instantly erupted!

This energy was not a shockwave, but a violently burning furnace!

The ground beneath his feet melted, transforming into a rolling, flowing lava Domain with crimson-black patterns!

Countless shattered Calamity Ash crystal shards, residual Death Qi from the battlefield, and even the blood dripping from his body were forcibly drawn into, incinerated, and transformed by this furious furnace!

The Furnace Domain violently collided with the gray-white ripple that stripped away all phenomena!

Hiss—!!!

A teeth-grinding, piercing sound, like a red-hot branding iron plunged into ice water, tore through the air.

The gray-white ripple frantically “stripped away” the furnace’s energy, attempting to freeze and drain it.

Meanwhile, the dark-red furnace, with the ferocity to incinerate all things, forcefully “burned” through the gray-white stillness, scorching a massive, wildly distorted hole in it!

In the Domain confrontation, Su Han was burning his life Origin!

His body trembled violently, and what gushed from his mouth was no longer blood, but glowing, burning lava fluid shimmering with crystal light!

The cracks all over his body expanded hideously like a dry riverbed!

“A mayfly trying to shake a tree.”

The Silver-haired Man’s silver eyes flickered slightly, seemingly a little surprised that Su Han could temporarily resist, but this was immediately covered by deeper disdain.

The tip of his ‘Return to Nothingness’ sword slightly turned, and a point of extreme ‘nothingness’ condensed at its tip.

“Annihilation · Void Strike!”

He lightly pointed his sword, and that point of ‘nothingness’ instantly vanished!

Almost at the same instant—

Puff!

Behind Su Han’s left shoulder, space collapsed inward without warning, forming a fist-sized point of absolute void!

The moment this black spot appeared, an irresistible, incomprehensible ‘suction’ erupted!

The crystal armor, flesh, and bones at Su Han’s left shoulder were instantly gouged out as if by an invisible, extremely sharp light blade, and then annihilated into nothingness within that black spot!

The intense pain of emptiness even surpassed all previous pain!

“!!!”

Su Han let out a muffled groan, his body staggered, and his left arm was almost crippled!

The Furnace Domain suddenly dimmed!

The gray-white Death Qi of all-stripping immediately seized the opportunity to invade!

Death! Death! Death!

The shadow of death descended!

Unable to dodge! Unable to resist!

“Then—burn it all away!!!”

The desperate situation of near-death completely ignited the wild madness deep within Su Han!

The intense pain did not destroy him; instead, it became the most violent fuel!

He poured all his will, all his strength, all his attachment to life and resistance to death, into the only core still burning—the Calamity Heart, which was covered in cracks but forcibly infused with more violent energy by the furnace, glowing so brightly it seemed about to explode!

The shattered Calamity Ash Battle Arm suddenly retracted, clenching into a fist, with the burning Calamity Heart positioned at the center of the fist’s peak!

No longer a claw strike! But—a hammer blow!

“Calamity Ash Battle Arm · Star Collapse!”

Without dodging or retreating, Su Han roared, using his body, severely wounded by the Void Strike, as a final spear, charging unhesitatingly towards the descending all-stripping phenomena!

That heavy fist, burning with crimson-black Calamity Ash flames, did not strike the air, but ferociously and incomparably slammed into the distorted, unstable spatial barrier in front of him, which had been temporarily burned through by the furnace!

This was not a physical attack!

This was the ultimate power of Tribulation Ash burning, striking the interface where reality and annihilation intertwined!

Boom—!!!!

An unimaginable roar!

As if the core of a star was smashed by a hammer!

At the point where the fist landed, that distorted spatial barrier, like the surface of a huge, shattered mirror, instantly became covered with billions of crimson-black cracks!

What flowed in the cracks were not spatial fragments, but violent energy currents ignited by Calamity Ash!

Time seemed to be twisted by this strike, and space was forcibly hammered into a violently fluctuating, crimson and Death Ash-intertwined collapse zone!

Crack, crack, crack… Boom!!!

The gray-white ripple of all-stripping, along with the complete space beneath it, was actually smashed into collapse and explosion by this single punch!

Forming a temporarily existing, extremely unstable spatial collapse storm mouth!

Shattered all-stripping energy, collapsing spatial currents, the Star Collapse power erupting from Su Han’s fist peak…

Countless destructive energies collided, annihilated, and exploded within this collapse mouth!

A terrifying destructive energy current instantly formed, like a vortex devouring all things, sweeping both Su Han and the Silver-haired Man into it!

“Hm?!”

The Silver-haired Man, who had always been cold and calm, finally showed a flicker of genuine fluctuation in his eyes!

His body, which was impervious to all laws and shrouded in stillness, was for the first time torn and slightly shaken by this violent, chaotic energy storm that surpassed his absolute control!

His pure silver hair danced wildly in the energy currents, and the spatial fragments rotating around him were instantly annihilated into nothingness after being drawn in!

As for Su Han, he was like a withered leaf in a gale, violently flung out by the storm, his body tumbling and disintegrating in the air.

Large sections of his Calamity Ash Battle Arm crystal armor peeled off, and the heavy fist of Star Collapse was completely shattered, with only a few burning crystals remaining on his forearm, cracks spewing dark red, blood-like light.

He was like a burnt-out meteor, crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up dust and lava debris, his life unknown.

At the center of the storm, the Silver-haired Man stood amidst the violent collapsing currents; though unharmed, his eternal stillness Qi field was severely torn open.

He looked at the distant, charred figure, his cold silver eyes flickering intensely for a moment, remaining silent.

In this extremely tragic confrontation, the energy storm still raged, and the outcome hung by a thread. (End of Chapter)
