465: Reluctance and despair

The ice-crystal-like crack spread wildly at a speed that defied physical laws.

Wherever it passed, the originally boiling and roaring filth on the Ancestral Demon's body seemed to be instantly drained of all vitality, turning into dull, dark-gray crystals that then disintegrated inch by inch in absolute silence, transforming into the finest void particles, leaving not even a trace of energy fluctuation.

The core hub in the Ancestral Demon's chest, that violently pulsating focal point of filth, now seemed bound by invisible chains, its pulsation frequency abruptly slowing, each beat accompanied by a grating sound that set teeth on edge.

Billions of filth wills clashed madly within it, yet they could not break free from the power of annihilation emanating from the pale arrowhead; instead, like moths drawn to a flame, they were continuously absorbed into the expanding Domain of deathly silence around the arrowhead, leaving no trace of struggle.

“Roar—!”

A roar that pierced through the temporal and spatial barriers erupted from the depths of the Ancestral Demon’s throat. This was not the previous roar filled with brutality and destructive desire, but one tinged with an indescribable panic and fury.

His 【Chaos Splitting Claw】, which had been suspended in mid-air, suddenly turned, its tip carrying the might to tear apart galaxies, and fiercely clawed at the pale arrowhead on his chest, intending to remove this “thorn” embedded in his core.

However, just as the giant claw was about to touch the arrowhead, the pale radiance suddenly surged!

It was not light expanding outward, but violently contracting inward, forming a Domain of absolute vacuum less than ten feet in diameter.

The filth power field on the Ancestral Demon's giant claw, upon touching this Domain, rapidly disintegrated like melting ice and snow, even causing tiny ice crystal cracks to appear on the claw tip, which was powerful enough to tear apart everything.

The Ancestral Demon's movements abruptly froze; he clearly felt the fatal threat from this pale radiance.

His myriad crimson vertical pupils simultaneously turned, staring fixedly at the power of annihilation that was continuously eroding his existence, and for the first time, an emotion called “fear” appeared in his pupils.

Just then, a distant tremor came from the depths of Gui Xu.

The Gui Xu Orbit, which had fallen silent due to Su Han's sacrifice, now began to operate again. However, this time it was no longer a vortex that devoured all things, but a channel that continuously transported the power of annihilation.

Countless pale streams of light sped down the Orbit, like streams flowing into the ocean, continuously pouring into the 【Arrow of Annihilation】.

The radiance on the arrowhead grew even more intense, and the surrounding Domain of deathly silence expanded wildly with it.

The Ancestral Demon's massive body visibly shriveled, and his originally indestructible Chaos carapace now resembled rocks weathered for billions of years, continuously peeling and crumbling.

“No—!”

The Ancestral Demon finally let out a clear and discernible roar, his voice filled with unwillingness and despair.

He suddenly raised his other giant claw and slammed it fiercely in the direction of the Gui Xu Orbit, intending to cut off this continuous flow of the power of annihilation.

However, the moment the giant claw passed through the Gui Xu Orbit, the entire claw arm suddenly froze, then rapidly turned into ice crystals, spreading from the claw tip all the way to the base of the arm. Crack!

With a crisp sound, the Ancestral Demon's entire arm disintegrated with a roar, turning into a sky full of void particles.

This scene completely shattered the Ancestral Demon's last thought of struggle.

He twisted his massive body frantically, trying to break free from the shackles of the power of annihilation, only to find that every inch of his body was being continuously eroded by the pale radiance.

His filth Divine Abilities, which he had once been so proud of, were like paper in the face of the power of annihilation, unable to stir up any ripples whatsoever.

In the Star Core Space, the Ancestral Demon's body visibly shrank.

His core hub in his chest was now completely covered by the pale radiance, and billions of filth wills let out their final wails within it, yet ultimately could not escape the fate of being completely annihilated.

Suddenly, the Ancestral Demon abruptly stopped struggling. His myriad crimson vertical pupils simultaneously focused on the pale arrowhead, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Immediately after, his massive body began to swell violently, countless dark cracks spread across his surface, and a terrifying energy fluctuation far exceeding anything before began to gather.

“Su Han, we'll die together!”

The Ancestral Demon let out his final roar. Before he was completely annihilated, he intended to detonate all of his filth Origin, dragging this Star Core Space and even the entire Universe into the abyss of destruction.

However, just as his self-detonation power was about to erupt, the pale arrowhead suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling radiance.

A pale pillar of light, piercing through heaven and earth, shot out from the arrowhead, completely enveloping the Ancestral Demon's massive body.

Under the illumination of the light pillar, the Ancestral Demon's self-detonation power rapidly dissipated as if it had encountered its nemesis. (End of this chapter)
