470: It's time to go back

“It’s time to go back,” Su Han murmured, his voice exceptionally clear in the vast Star Core Space.

At this moment, his connection with Gui Xu had reached an unprecedented closeness; the miniature Gui Xu rotated steadily in his Dantian, providing him with a continuous flow of power.

However, after the Peak battle, especially the consumption from fully activating the Extinction Reincarnation Seal to purify the myriad tribulations reincarnation heart, his Soul inevitably felt a hint of fatigue, with a momentary sense of vacuum deep within his spiritual platform.

He no longer hesitated, his figure transforming into a dim stream of light, flying towards the outside of the Star Core, towards the area of the light net that had once trapped the Ancestral Demon.

The light net had long dissipated, and the starlight from outside had permeated back in, though it appeared somewhat mottled and hazy after experiencing Chaos contamination and Gui Xu impact.

Soon, he passed through that area and entered the relatively “empty” space on the outer rim of the Gui Xu Orbit.

Here, it was very close to the normal regions of the Universe, and the starlight was much denser; in the distance, one could even see clouds of cosmic dust scattered like a shattered mirror.

He oriented himself, preparing to follow the gravitational pull of Gui Xu and return to his familiar cosmic coordinates, the Star Domain he was destined to protect.

Just as his mind relaxed and his Internal Energy automatically circulated to recover—

A sudden change occurred!

A shadow, so subtle it was almost imperceptible, like pus seeping from the Void Realm itself, appeared without warning in his path.

This shadow was not a physical remnant of the Ancestral Demon; it was more like the final, unwilling, frantic condensation of the Chaos will, a “dark current” of the Ancestral Demon’s self-detonated and Void Realm-integrated Chaos power residue, lurking beneath the calm surface of Gui Xu.

It erupted at the moment Su Han’s aura was most quiescent!

This shadow instantly expanded, transforming into a giant Void Realm maw, darker than darkness itself, seemingly capable of devouring a Soul, silently lunging at Su Han!

It was not a physical attack, but an invasion of Chaos will, bringing a suffocating, existence-annihilating concept!

Wherever it passed, even the nearby faint starlight trajectories twisted, becoming blurry.

Su Han’s pupils suddenly contracted!

His mind, as calm as a deep pool, instantly rippled. Newfound power surged wildly the moment it sensed extreme danger, reacting instinctively almost simultaneously with the perception of the attack.

“Annihilate!”

An ancient syllable, imbued with the true meaning of Gui Xu’s Law, burst from his mouth. The sound was not loud, yet it carried a stabilizing force that transcended space and time.

Buzz!

A pale white halo instantly emanated from his left hand, from his index and middle fingers pressed together, like ripples from a stone dropped into calm water.

The halo diffused silently, seemingly slow, yet it precisely met the incoming Chaos giant maw.

Hiss—!

Silent annihilation! The moment the halo touched the Chaos giant maw, there was no earth-shattering explosion, only the intense neutralization and annihilation of two opposing fundamental forces. The black giant maw twisted violently and boiled, like matter thrown into strong acid, emitting a silent scream.

The pale white halo also flickered erratically, its circulating runes flashing wildly, clearly enduring immense impact.

Su Han grunted, his body swaying slightly. The skin on his left wrist cracked with several tiny lines, seeping a trace of dark golden blood with a strange fluctuation.

This was the cost of his hasty mobilization of newfound power for a high-level confrontation.

However, the madness of this final counterattack from the Chaos will far exceeded expectations.

Just as the giant maw was being neutralized and eroded by the halo, a point of black light, condensed to the extreme at its core, suddenly exploded!

It wasn’t an energy burst, but… an activation!

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!

The Void Realm within tens of thousands of miles around Su Han suddenly collapsed! It was as if a massive, bottomless vortex had abruptly appeared beneath a calm lake surface.

A terrifying “Gui Xu Storm Tide” was detonated by that point of black light! This was not a natural tide from the depths of the Gui Xu Orbit, but the Ancestral Demon’s residual will activating the unstable spatio-temporal turbulence and Gui Xu gravitational anomaly points that had accumulated in the nearby Star Domain due to the previous great battle.
