460: riot

The molten crust, which had been drawing closer from below, suddenly receded, replaced by the ever-expanding shadow of the corrupting corpse star core, emanating a fatal pull.

The formless Void Realm itself seemed to transform into a viscous quagmire, enveloping him and forcibly turning him towards that deadly vertical pupil!

The corroded wound on his side suddenly tore open and expanded under this powerful suction, and a large swathe of golden flowing light, like iron filings attracted by a magnet,

was forcefully peeled from his Origin with a 'rip' and drawn out into long, glowing strands resembling molten metal wires, instantly plunging into the pulsating corrupting core without even a ripple.

“Ugh ah—!”

Unearthly pain surpassed the previous limit, as if a piece of his entire Soul was forcibly torn off!

The fire in Su Han's consciousness was almost completely extinguished, leaving only a pure storm of pain sweeping through him!

However, this was merely the prologue to the unfolding Hell scroll!

The corrupting corpse star core's greedy and urgent 'awakening' was like opening a floodgate that had accumulated too much power.

“Boom—!!!”

From the other end of the shattered canyon on the corpse star continent, a dull roar echoed, shaking the entire cooled lava plain.

That was the corrupting corpse star counter-current that Su Han had severed with all his might when he first unleashed his burning body!

Although this filthy torrent was severely damaged by the light of judgment, the Origin corrupting energy that composed it was too vast and was not truly annihilated!

Previously, having lost the restraint of the Devil Head's will and being purified and impacted by the power of ultimate judgment, these energies, as thick as corrupted blood, had been quiescent for a moment, like venom lying dormant after an injury.

However, at this moment, the corrupting corpse star core's act of devouring Su Han's remaining power was like dropping a huge stone into a stagnant pool!

The filthy nebula that erupted when the Devil Head's skull disintegrated had not yet completely dissipated, still slowly writhing and swelling in the Void Realm like a giant asphalt jellyfish.

At this moment, all the dissipated energy, all the remaining malevolent thoughts instinctively drawn by the appearance of the corrupting corpse star core... all went berserk!

The severed, slowly seeping and accumulating torrent of corrupted blood suddenly surged back!

The filthy nebula, which had lost its head and gushing core, violently contracted and collapsed!

The filthy dust remaining on the entire shattered land rose as if commanded!

The three instantly converged and underwent Fusion wildly in the sky above the corpse star continent!

No longer flowing like liquid, but condensing, twisting, and proliferating madly like a living entity!

Black Qi, thick enough to obscure starlight, rolled and condensed into billions of thick, segmented giant python-like tentacles, upon which constantly appeared the outlines of human faces screaming in pain!

A headless, massive python of corrupted blood formed in the Void Realm, carrying a more intense chaotic malice and resentment of the dead than before, its 'snake head'—composed of rolling black mist, without a specific form but riddled with countless crack-like fissures—reared high.

It seemed to have no 'eyes,' yet it 'stared' fixedly at the same prey—that broken stream of light still struggling under the corpse star core's pull!

The world-destroying torrent had returned!

In a more condensed, more frenzied state!

Its end was deeply rooted beneath the corpse star continent, as if connected to the entire world's corrupting Foundation, and the direction of its raised 'snake head' was precisely Su Han!

The long-accumulated filthy energy erupted with a roar, and countless thick black python tentacles instantly crossed space, carrying a malevolent wind that corroded the Void Realm itself, pouncing on that flickering, tottering speck of light!

Behind was the black hole-like corrupting corpse star core, its vertical pupil hungry, devouring space!

In front was the world-destroying torrent, condensed from billions of filth, its python shadows obscuring the sky, swallowing all things!

This was a true dead end.

The scythe of death simultaneously cut from front and back, leaving no room for evasion.

His body, like a lamp running out of oil, was on the verge of disintegration, even maintaining its form consumed the last remaining shred of his will with difficulty.

Time seemed to freeze, stretching out at this moment.

Su Han's consciousness floated in the burning storm.

The scarlet vertical pupil devoured his remaining flowing light, and the death hurricane brought by the filthy python shadows was already bone-chilling.

He 'saw' the madly writhing greed deep within the corrupting corpse star core, and 'saw' the final unwilling wails of billions of living beings condensed within the world-destroying torrent.
