488: Metal rings!

Su Han's voice still echoed in the frozen space, and in the distant sky, the massive black crack that had been torn open suddenly intensified its squirming!

"Om—Long—!!!"

It was no longer a silent shriek, but a terrifying roar that tore through the universe!

The entire solidified grey-white space trembled violently, as if a fragile piece of glass was about to be crushed by immense force.

Deep within the crack, an extremely dense darkness surged and expanded!

No longer just probing tendrils of malevolence, a colossal shadow, purely composed of twisted Void Realm will and chaotic energy, slowly "squeezed" out from the crack.

Its form was indistinct, sometimes like a myriad-legged giant insect, sometimes like an eyeless gaping maw, and at other times a grotesque face formed by countless wailing Souls.

The pressure it exuded caused the solidified lava to emit sounds of unbearable cracking, and the metal dust frozen by the Doomsday Tide fell in a rustling cascade.

The true Gui Xu Projection of the Lord of Guixu—or rather, the immense claw and fang bearing His will—had finally descended!

"Insignificant… thief… obliterate…"

Chaotic and overlapping mental impacts, like billions of needles, fiercely pierced into Su Han's Soul Sea of Consciousness, a hundred times more powerful than the previous wisp of malevolence!

"Hmph!"

Two-colored light burst forth from Su Han's eyes, grey-white and golden-red, distinctly separate yet perfectly fused!

With a thought, the heart within him, forged from buried bone realm source material, Metal Law, and Phoenix embers, pulsed violently!

"Dong!"

A muffled heartbeat, like an ancient divine drum, exploded, and invisible ripples swept out!

That violent mental impact crashed against the ripples, like a tsunami hitting an invisible dam, instantly being disintegrated and mostly annihilated!

Su Han's body trembled slightly, his face paled for a moment, but his gaze became even sharper, like a blade!

He did not passively defend!

The moment the Gui Xu Projection of the Lord of Guixu fully descended, Su Han moved!

He no longer stood in place, manipulating the Doomsday Tide, but instead, like a grey-gold lightning bolt tearing through space, he actively charged towards the expanding darkness!

"Doomsday Tide! Condense!"

His hands rapidly formed seals, and the grey-white buried bone realm source material within him surged out, no longer for repair, but transforming into a long river of death that froze everything, flowing upstream and engulfing the dark projection!

Along the way, the space emitted an ear-splitting "crunch, crunch" sound of freezing.

"Futile struggle! Void Erosion!" A cold mental fluctuation emanated from the Gui Xu Projection of the Lord of Guixu.

The forefront of the dense darkness suddenly rotated, forming a colossal pitch-black vortex.

The Doomsday Tide, which solidified all things and froze time, crashed into the vortex, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea, its speed plummeted, and its power was rapidly devoured and dissolved!

That vortex seemed to connect to a bottomless abyss, intending to reduce everything to nothingness!

Su Han seemed to have anticipated this.

The moment the Doomsday Tide was trapped by the vortex, his charging figure was less than a hundred meters from the Gui Xu Projection!

Brilliant golden-red light suddenly flared from his right fist, and the metal patterns on his entire arm flowed like molten divine metal!

"Metal—Scream!"

No fancy moves, only extreme speed and power!

A punch infused with the immortal essence of the metal giant skeleton, carrying a Law hum so sharp it pierced the Soul, was forcefully unleashed!

Wherever the fist wind passed, the solidified metal fragments, which had shattered due to the Gui Xu's pressure, seemed to be summoned, wildly converging behind the fist aura, forming a roaring golden-red metal torrent!

"Boom!!!"

This punch accurately struck the center of the pitch-black vortex that was devouring the Doomsday Tide!

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

Extreme power collided with extreme nothingness!

Chii chii chii—

A chilling sound of corrosion and erosion rang out!

The golden fist light was furiously devoured by the darkness, and the converging metal torrent melted like ice and snow.

But the core of the Metal Law condensed on Su Han's fist was incredibly resilient, like a divine spear refined a hundred times, firmly embedded in the depths of the vortex, forcibly preventing the vortex's devouring and rotation.
