330: Chapter 330 The Dark World

[However, the Dark Overlord is, after all, an eleventh-stage existence standing at the peak of the void.]

[Having ascended to this realm for untold eons, his survivability and the depth of his Foundation are far from ordinary.]

[Although the power of this certain-kill punch, delivered by the combined efforts of you and the Boundless Creation Heavenly Venerable, was earth-shattering—with methods of tracing Karma and erasing traces that could be called the absolute pinnacle—it still failed to achieve complete success.]

[The remaining third of his imprints across the heavens, though heavily damaged and their Origin greatly depleted under the impact of that space-time-transcending Fist Intent, ultimately did not thoroughly perish.]

[Especially the Dark Overlord's main consciousness located within his base camp.]

[The Dark Overlord's base camp is a unique Major Thousand World completely saturated with the purest dark Origin power, where the rules lean toward darkness and depravity.]

[When the overbearing light and creation power of the Thirty-Three Heavens Boundless Creation Divine Punch traced its way there, attempting to invade this world and erase his core Dao seal left here...]

[It encountered the autonomous and fierce resistance and attrition of the dark rules of the entire Major Thousand World.]

[Two diametrically opposite yet equally supreme Law powers engaged in a silent but intense collision and annihilation at the edges and core of this dark world.]

[Golden light and black mist intertwined, devouring and canceling each other out.]

[Ultimately, after penetrating countless dimensions and erasing a vast number of Incarnations, the power of the Boundless Creation Divine Punch reached the end of its strength, having been weakened and blocked layer by layer by the dark rules of the home field advantage.]

[The most crucial imprint left by the Dark Overlord deep within the core of this Major Thousand World, which carried a portion of his True Spirit Origin, did not suffer fundamental damage, aside from its light dimming slightly.]

[At this very moment, within that dark Major Thousand World, a figure condensed from pure darkness, with an aura countless times more powerful and profound than the wisp of will that had just been destroyed, slowly emerged within the Dao of that dark world.]

[This was the Dark Overlord's true body. At this moment, his gaze pierced through the world barriers, looking toward your direction, filled with shock, fury, malice, and a hint of the palpitation and brutality of a survivor.]

["Very good... very good! No matter who you are, this grudge will only end in death!"]

[Every word triggered a resonance with the rules of his dark Major Thousand World. Within the endless territories, trillions upon trillions of dark subjects prostrated and trembled simultaneously, and the world itself seemed to let out a mournful wail of anger.]

[However, just as the Dark Overlord was filled with rage and killing intent, frantically deducing revenge plans and even beginning to mobilize the world's Origin at any cost to reinforce defenses and breed war creations, you were also planning how to thoroughly slay him.]

[To you, from the moment the Dark Overlord showed his face, he could no longer escape.]

[By now, through the Karma tracing of that world-shaking punch from earlier, you have firmly locked onto the Dark Overlord's trajectory of fate and anchored the location of that Major Thousand World.]

[Both being eleventh-stage, it is indeed difficult to achieve an instant kill when the opponent has the home field advantage and has brought out all their reserves.]

[However, being unable to kill him instantly doesn't mean he truly cannot be killed.]

[In that dark Major Thousand World where the Dark Overlord resides, he is the only eleventh-stage being, which means he has no other allies.]

[On your side, there are two eleventh-stage beings; the advantage is yours. Even if the opponent has a Major Thousand World as a backing, you can wear him down bit by bit.]

[Afterward, you and the Boundless Creation Heavenly Venerable discussed it; one would go to that Major Thousand World to blockade the entrance.]

[The other would go to sweep away all of the Dark Overlord's traces in the void, excluding that Major Thousand World.]

[When your majestic figure truly descended, standing in the void outside the crystal wall system of that dark Major Thousand World, the entire world seemed to tremble.]

[From within came the Dark Overlord's roars of shock and fury, as well as the intense fluctuations of world rules being fully mobilized to form layers upon layers of dark barriers.]

[You were in no hurry to attack, simply standing quietly, your aura locking down all external channels of the entire world, whether on the level of matter, energy, or information.]

[Your gaze seemed able to pierce through that thick dark barrier, seeing the suspicious and uncertain Dark Overlord inside, who was frantically mobilizing his forces.]

[Meanwhile, the Boundless Creation Heavenly Venerable's efficiency was extremely high.]

[Sweeping through the void like a hot knife through butter, in less than a minute, he erased the remaining third of the Dark Overlord's Incarnations outside of the dark Major Thousand World.]

[Through research, it was discovered that the Dark Overlord's Dao had already fused into one with this Major Thousand World.]

[When the Boundless Creation Heavenly Venerable finished the cleanup and joined you outside the dark Major Thousand World, the Dark Overlord inside already felt that all his Incarnations had been wiped out, realizing he had become a complete turtle in a jar.]

[In the time that followed, through observation, you discovered that the Dark Overlord's Dao had completely fused with this Major Thousand World, becoming an existence similar to a Dark Heavenly Dao.]

[To thoroughly erase the opponent, you first need to separate his Dao from the world's rules of the Major Thousand World.]

[You and the Boundless Creation Heavenly Venerable exchanged a look and directly acted together again. First, you broke the Dark Overlord's defenses, then you directly suppressed his main consciousness, preventing him from acting personally.]

[Afterward, you sent other true spirit projections to lead Infinite Apostles into the interior of the world to comb through, purify, and reconstruct the world rules that had been distorted by long-term saturation with the Dark Overlord's Dao.]

[The plan proceeded methodically. Initially, the Dark Overlord's resistance was fierce and frantic; he mobilized the power of the entire world, raising tides of darkness and breeding countless terrifying dark monsters, even resorting to burning his Origin to launch curses.]

[But under the absolute power advantage and exquisite cooperation of you and the Boundless Creation Heavenly Venerable, these resistances were neutralized one by one.]

[The Dark Overlord felt his connection with the world being severed bit by bit. That feeling of power draining and his Foundation being shaken made him sense the threat of death more and more clearly.]

[As time passed, a thousand void years quickly went by. The Dark Overlord's roars gradually changed from anger and malice to fear and wailing.]

[When more than thirty percent of his Dao had been stripped away and his control over the world's Origin had significantly declined, the psychological defense of this Dark Overlord, who once looked down on everything and viewed all living beings as ants, finally collapsed completely.]

["Stop! Quickly stop!" His consciousness fluctuations were filled with desperate pleading, no longer possessing any of the arrogance or brutality of a Dominator.]

["Two Fellow Daoists! I am willing to hand over my Dao authority! I only ask that you leave my True Spirit unextinguished!"]

[The voice came through the world barrier, miserable and humble. However, facing this belated plea for mercy, the expressions of you and the Boundless Creation Heavenly Venerable did not fluctuate in the slightest; you didn't even bother to respond.]
