475: Warning signs reappear

Su Han’s gasps were exceptionally clear in the dead silent Void Realm, each rise and fall accompanied by a dull ache like grinding bones.

He lowered his head to look at his hands, which were covered in dark purple cracks. These cracks, like dried riverbeds, were slowly contracting as the newly formed Gui Xu Seed within him rotated, and the escaping Chaos energy condensed into tiny specks of light at the wounds, resembling some kind of eerie scabs.

Just then, a burning sting suddenly radiated from his chest. It was the residual mark of the Extinction Reincarnation Seal, which now wriggled like a living thing. Pale golden patterns traveled along his blood vessels, and wherever they passed, the dark purple cracks receded.

Su Han’s heart stirred. Although this newfound power had been unable to resist the Power of Gui Xu’s erosion earlier, it was now playing the role of stitching up his wounds, as if achieving a delicate balance with the miniature stellar vortex that had just “feasted.”

“So that’s how it is…”

Su Han murmured to himself. He finally understood that the true meaning of the Extinction Reincarnation Seal was not simply destruction or rebirth, but the possibility of coexistence found in the extreme tug-of-war between the two.

Just like inside his body now, the destructive energy of the Power of Gui Xu and the Nirvana power of the Phoenix True Fire were resonating at a dangerous frequency. Each collision caused unbearable pain in his Meridians, yet also gave rise to tougher fibers in the shattered areas.

Suddenly, an unusual sound came from the chaotic currents in the distance.

It was a metallic screeching, accompanied by the ear-splitting hum of space being torn apart.

Su Han abruptly looked up, only to see countless silver-grey streaks of light gathering at a Void Realm rift tens of millions of kilometers away.

Those streaks of light landed and took shape, transforming into warriors clad in bone armor and wielding giant axes. Their eyes were pure nothingness, and their bodies flowed with dark matter energy that was of the same origin as the Power of Gui Xu’s evil energy, but more condensed.

“Power of Gui Xu Battle Slaves…”

Su Han’s pupils suddenly constricted.

These creatures were the ultimate weapons cultivated by the Gui Xu Seed, and should have disintegrated with the annihilation of the mother seed. Yet, they were now arrayed in perfect formation, clearly indicating a manipulator behind them.

What shocked him even more was that the leading Battle Slave had half a dark golden crystal embedded in his forehead. The patterns flowing within the crystal were precisely of the same origin as the destructive light beam previously shot from that terrifying eye!

“It seems the thing hiding behind the scenes finally couldn’t hold back.”

Su Han licked his dry lips, a cruel smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

The miniature stellar vortex within him seemed to sense the aura of its kind, emitting a low hum. The wounds that had just healed once again seeped out purple-black mist, condensing into rotating dark rings around him.

The Battle Slave army made no unnecessary movements. The warriors in the front row suddenly slammed their giant axes into the Void Realm.

With a muffled thud, an invisible shockwave spread out like ripples on water. Wherever it passed, the chaotic currents were forcibly suppressed into a flat, black ground.

Immediately after, tens of millions of Battle Slaves simultaneously took a step. The frequency of the trembling ground actually resonated with the rotation of the Gui Xu Seed within Su Han’s body, causing his recently stabilized Qi to become chaotic again.

“Trying to shatter my body with resonance?”

Su Han snorted coldly, suddenly forming a hand seal he had never used before.

This seal was half the twisted trajectory of the Power of Gui Xu and half the rising patterns of the Phoenix True Fire. Two completely different energies collided and annihilated in his palm, finally transforming into a grey-black flame rune.

“Go!”

The moment the rune left his body, it transformed into a river of flames spanning tens of millions of kilometers.

The river contained both the annihilation characteristic of the Power of Gui Xu and the power of the Phoenix True Fire to burn all things. The Battle Slaves charging at the front instantly dissolved into nothingness upon touching the flames, like melting ice and snow, leaving not even a trace of energy behind.

But more Battle Slaves continued to charge over the remains of their comrades. The leading crystal Battle Slave suddenly raised his giant axe, and the dark matter energy condensed on the axe blade actually tore through the river of flames.

Su Han’s warning bells rang again.

He could feel that the power contained in this strike had surpassed the level of the Gui Xu Seed and was approaching the Law of destruction of that terrifying eye. (End of Chapter)
