484: Final Tide

At this moment, under the extreme threat of Su Han's Soul core being completely "stripped away" and "negated," and stimulated by that malicious thought containing "absolute void," this core brand originating from the dead end of death instinctively underwent an Awakening!

It was like the coldest cold wave, and also like the heaviest sea of dead silence, suddenly rolling back upwards!

That ray representing absolute void, the moment it touched this stream of buried bone realm source material, seemed to have met its nemesis!

That pure power of "malicious thought" and "negation" was actually frozen, enveloped, and devoured by this deeper and purer "dead silence"!

The buried bone realm source material itself is a form of existence, a kind of "being" solidified in death.

And this wisp of "existence stripping ray" was precisely trying to turn "being" into "nothingness."

The two engaged in a fierce collision at the most fundamental level of Origin within Su Han's skull, right at the Foundation of his Soul!

Boom!

Su Han's broken and charred body shuddered violently!

That ray, which had originally almost pierced through his Soul core, was forcibly blocked by the buried bone realm source material!

That Void Realm malicious thought seemed to have encountered an eternal glacier; it was rapidly frozen, assimilated, and finally completely crushed and absorbed by the heavy "dead silence" of the buried bone realm source material!

At the edges of the cracks in his skull, minute bone fragments were silently evaporating.

That was the annihilation caused by the collision of Laws.

However, this extremely dangerous collision brought about an unexpected opportunity!

The passive eruption of the buried bone realm source material, the intense pain rebound of Su Han's near-death Soul under the stimulation of "stripping" and "negation," plus the Law ripples brought about by the mutual annihilation of the veil of will above and the residual rays—the three produced a peculiar resonance at the critical point of this shattered space!

It was like dropping a seed into the eye of a storm.

Hum—!

A circle of eerie, indescribable gray-white ripples suddenly spread out, centered on Su Han's broken body!

This was not an explosive shockwave.

It was more like a... counter-charge launched by the "silencing of existence" against the "struggle of void"!

It was the "Doomsday Tide" condensed from the buried dead silence superimposed with the final radiance of the Phoenix embers!

This gray-white ripple did not spread quickly, but wherever it passed, the space seemed to have its color washed away, and all microscopic particle vibrations were forcibly quelled, reduced to a cold, lifeless "bedrock" state.

It was not creation, but rather letting everything "fall into an eternal slumber."

The final remnant of the ray that had pierced through the skull's defense, the moment it was swept by this gray-white tide, was like a match head about to go out being dropped into water; with a hiss, it was completely submerged and smoothed away.

And that residual will shot out from the metal dust cloud—the giant's final frantic curse—the moment it touched this gray-white tide, let out a silent scream a billion times more shrill than its previous disintegration!

It was not destroyed, but "pacified," dragged into the "silent ground state" symbolized by these ripples, just as a Vicious Beast would be sunk to the bottom of a Styx frozen for ten thousand years.

The last bit of resentment light, interwoven with deep blue and scarlet, instantly dimmed, turning into a tiny thread of blood, ruthlessly swept up and devoured by the gray-white tide.

Pfft—

At the bottom of the lava pit, Su Han was struck again as if by an invisible heavy hammer; his head sank downwards violently, and the last bit of dark golden blood oozed from his seven orifices.

That was the manifestation of his Soul vibrating to the limit.

The crack in his skull seemed to widen a fraction, but as the Origin power of the gray-white tide swept past, it was covered in a layer of deathly pallor and forcibly "stabilized."

This silent tide swept across the entire giant lava pit, once again "combing" through the chaotic battlefield.

The giant's last remaining cloud of metal particle dust fell and solidified rapidly in the tide, completely losing all activity, turning into a piece of dead, gray metal dust rain that fell down.

The magma flowing on the pit walls had its boiling motion instantly solidified, with a layer of gray-white covering the surface, as if it were volcanic rock that had solidified for billions of years.

The entire space completely fell into a state more dead and silent than before.

Sound, light, energy fluctuations... all dynamic "existence" were forcibly pressed with a pause button.

The tide slowly subsided.

Su Han's broken body still lay at the bottom of the lava pit, charred and shattered, the blood at the stump of his left shoulder long since dried and hardened.

His breathing had long stopped, his chest no longer rose and fell, and even the faint Phoenix embers and golden-red light on his body surface had completely extinguished.

The pale bone crack on his skull became the only striking feature on his body, exuding a cold dead silence.

He was like an ancient skeleton that had slept for billions of years, embedded in this equally dead and silent space.

Wind? There was no wind.

Sound? There was no sound.

Even the "texture" of space itself had become abnormally "hardened," as if it were a giant piece of gray-white amber, completely sealing off this shattered land.

Absolute dead silence had descended.

More terrifying than the previous destruction, this was a kind of irredeemable sinking and eternal freezing.

The malicious thoughts of the Void Realm deep cavern and the metal giant's final curse were forcibly "frozen" in the gray-white.

Was Su Han's remnant Soul, which had been ignited and then completely drained dry, doomed to sink completely into this eternal "Doomsday ground state" in the cracks between the buried bone realm source material and the Void Realm backlash, or had it preserved a spark of life in that gray sea of death?
