146: Chapter 146 Deep in the Black Abyss, the End's Nest

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Before "Zhenxu Pass", war clouds were already gathering, and Killing Intent soared into the heavens.

After three years of sharpening weapons and feeding horses, the current "All-Heavens Anti-Calamity Alliance" was no longer what it used to be.

In the starry sky, countless war-ships, flying shuttles, and fortresses—as huge as mountains, radiating cold metallic lusters, and engraved with powerful defensive and offensive arrays—were densely packed, covering the sky and almost obscuring half the Star Domain.

Every war Magical Artifact was filled with warriors from various races—Human Race, Yao Race, Barbarian Race, Spirit Race... even various exotic races from the starry sky who had defected to the Alliance—all wearing distinct armor, exuding fierce Auras, and having sharp eyes.

Their cultivation was at least Nascent Soul, with Soul Transformation and Void Refining stages everywhere, arranged into strict phalanxes, their Evil Qi condensing and rising to the heavens.

In the center of the massive fleet were nine of the largest and most terrifying flagships.

One of them was completely Chaos-colored, as if condensed from the most primitive Chaos Origin Qi; on the hull, the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and Reincarnation light and shadows flowed endlessly, radiating an esoteric Aura that encompassed all things and evolved the heavens—this was Lin Wan's flagship, the "Chaos".

The other eight belonged to the eight core powerhouses of the Alliance: Emperor Yan, Ye Qingxian, Daoist Leixiao, King Zhenyue, Long Huang, Dan Dingzi, Yao Xi, and Elder Tianji; they were all war fortresses crafted with the Alliance's utmost resources, with power comparable to a "Quasi-Immortal".

At the very front of the fleet stood dozens of figures with vast Auras, like great suns hanging in the sky.

These were led by Lin Wan, and included all "Quasi-Immortal" level combatants of the Alliance—Ye Qingxian, Emperor Yan, Daoist Leixiao, King Zhenyue, Long Huang, Dan Dingzi, Yao Xi, and Elder Tianji—as well as several "Quasi-Immortal" Loose Cultivators from the surrounding Star Domain who had recently defected or been subdued by Lin Wan through thunderous means.

Lin Wan stood at the bow of the "Chaos", dressed in a Chaos immortal robe, his black hair fluttering gently in the wind, his eyes as deep as the starry sky; while he exuded no terrifying Aura, he naturally became the core of the entire battlefield, as if he were the Dominator of this star field.

Behind him, Ye Qingxian was in white, cold as an immortal; Emperor Yan wore imperial robes, majestic and profound; Daoist Leixiao wore purple robes with thunder patterns, his Aura violent; King Zhenyue was burly, steady as a mountain; Long Huang had a dragon head and human body, his Dragon might vast; Dan Dingzi wore simple Daoist robes, surrounded by pill Qi; Yao Xi floated in a colorful dress, spirit light overflowing; Elder Tianji held a compass, mysterious and unpredictable...

Dozens of "Quasi-Immortal" figures had their Auras connected, like dozens of great suns illuminating the dark starry sky, while also deterring that boundless darkness on the opposite side that seemed capable of devouring everything—the "Black Abyss".

The "Black Abyss" was still that dark region that shrouded an unknown number of light-years, pure and seemingly capable of devouring all light, sound, and even Divine Sense.

After Lin Wan suppressed and killed the "the end" Clone three years ago, it had been silent for a while, but now, with the Alliance army pressing in, that silent darkness seemed to have "come alive" again.

A deeper, more viscous, and more heart-wrenching "the end" Aura permeated from the depths of the "Black Abyss", like a sleeping prehistoric giant beast slowly waking up, radiating malice ready to devour people.

"Alliance Leader, the detection array shows that in the depths of the 'Black Abyss', there are more than ten 'Quasi-Immortal' level 'the end' Auras, rapidly recovering and gathering."

"Among them, three Auras are exceptionally powerful, far exceeding ordinary 'Quasi-Immortal' levels, suspected to be close to... or even reaching the 'True Immortal' level."

"Moreover, the core area of the 'Black Abyss' has an abnormal spatial structure; it seems there is a... huge, unstable spatial channel, and unknown, more terrifying 'the end' power is continuously seeping through from the other side of the channel." Elder Tianji reported with a grave expression, holding his compass.

"A spatial channel? Unknown 'the end' power?" Lin Wan's eyes narrowed, looking into the depths of the "Black Abyss", as if he could pierce through the endless darkness and see the terror hidden within.

"It seems this 'Black Abyss' is indeed an important stronghold of 'the end' in this star field, and perhaps even a... forward outpost."

"Behind it connects to an even more terrifying source of 'the end'."

"When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth." Lin Wan's voice was calm but carried unquestionable determination.

"Since we are here, we will completely flatten it. That spatial channel must also be destroyed to cut off the continuous infiltration of 'the end' into this star field."

He turned around, his gaze sweeping over the dozens of "Quasi-Immortal" figures behind him and the boundless, high-spirited Alliance army, his voice suddenly rising like thunder, ringing in every warrior's ears:

"Everyone!"

"Three years of sharpening weapons and feeding horses, three years of waiting in battle formation—all for this day!"

"Ahead lies the 'the end' nest that has devoured countless realms and buried billions of lives! It is the source of sin that brings destruction, brings despair, and brings endless darkness!"

"Today, I, the 'All-Heavens Anti-Calamity Alliance', swear here—"

"Flatten the Black Abyss, sweep away the evil atmosphere!"

"Slay all 'the end', restore our peace!"

"In this battle, we are invincible!"

"Gentlemen, follow me—kill!"

"Kill!!!"

"Flatten the Black Abyss! Sweep away the evil atmosphere!"

"Slay all 'the end'! Restore our peace!"

"Long live the Alliance Leader! Long live the Alliance!"

As Lin Wan's voice fell, the entire Alliance army was like an ignited volcano, erupting with earth-shaking roars and howls.

Countless warriors, eyes burning with intense Battle Intent, gripped their weapons tightly, their mana boiling, Evil Qi soaring to the heavens, forming an invisible, majestic torrent of Battle Intent capable of shaking the galaxy, sweeping towards the "Black Abyss" in front!

"Advance!"

With Lin Wan's order, he took the lead, turning into a streak of Chaos light, rushing towards the depths of the "Black Abyss" first.

Behind him, dozens of "Quasi-Immortal" figures and the billions of Alliance troops, like a bursting flood, followed closely, charging into the boundless darkness that seemed to devour everything with an unstoppable momentum.

"Boom—!!"

The war broke out instantly!

As soon as they entered the range of the "Black Abyss", that viscous, cold, and death-filled "the end" Aura surged like a tide, attempting to erode, assimilate, and wear down the morale and power of the Alliance army.

However, the current Alliance army was no longer the rabble of three years ago.

Countless war Magical Artifacts lit up with brilliant defensive shields, isolating the "the end" Aura outside.

Most warriors also wore protective Magical Artifacts newly developed by the Alliance's Artifact Refining Hall, which could resist the erosion of "the end" to a certain extent.

More importantly, that pure and majestic Battle Intent condensed by billions of warriors was like an invisible flame, faintly burning and repelling the encroaching "the end" Aura.

"Kill!"

The skirmish first broke out on the periphery of the "Black Abyss".

Countless "the end" kin and "the end" monsters—hideous in shape, violent in Aura, and transformed by the erosion of "the end"—surged out from the darkness like a tide, pouncing on the Alliance army.

Some of these monsters were shaped like giant beasts, some like ghosts, and some were simply a mass of wriggling, constantly changing dark matter; the only thing they had in common was the thick, nauseating "the end" Aura on them, and their crazy, chaotic, and destructive desire.

"Form ranks! Meet the enemy!"

"War Magical Artifacts, fire in unison!"

"Divine Ability, covering strike!"

The Alliance army was well-trained and not chaotic at all.

Under the command of officers at all levels, they quickly formed combat formations that integrated offense and defense.

Countless war Magical Artifacts spat out scorching light beams, sharp Sword Qi, destructive thunder, and burning flames, pouring down on the monster tide like a rainstorm.

Countless Cultivators also used their various Divine Abilities, Magic Treasures flying, and Spells roaring, engaging in brutal close-quarters combat with the monsters rushing up.

For a time, the dark "Black Abyss" was illuminated by countless Spell lights, explosion flashes, and the cold light of weapons.

Shouts of killing, roars, monster hisses, the roaring of Magical Artifacts, and the sound of energy explosions... all intertwined, playing a cruel and heroic symphony of war.

"Ants! Daring to step into the Holy Domain, disturbing the Holy Master's sleep, you deserve death!"

Just as the Alliance army was in the midst of a fierce battle with the monster tide, a roar full of violence and anger came from the depths of the "Black Abyss".

Immediately after, more than a dozen black shadows, radiating terrifying "the end" Aura, huge in size and varied in shape, tore through the darkness and pounced on the Alliance army, especially the "Quasi-Immortal" figures in the lead.

These were the true "the end" powerhouses guarding the depths of the "Black Abyss"!

Among them, three black shadows had exceptionally terrifying Auras, almost reaching the Peak of "Quasi-Immortal", even faintly touching the threshold of "True Immortal", far exceeding the "the end" Clone previously killed by Lin Wan; they were clearly the true core combat power of the "Black Abyss", three "the end" Demon Generals suspected to be close to the "True Immortal" level!

"Hmph, a bunch of poor wretches eroded by 'the end' and having lost their original hearts, daring to speak such nonsense here?"

Lin Wan's eyes were cold, and with one step, he had already blocked the three "the end" Demon Generals with the strongest Auras.

Behind him, the Alliance's "Quasi-Immortal" figures—Emperor Yan, Ye Qingxian, Daoist Leixiao, King Zhenyue, Long Huang, Dan Dingzi, Yao Xi, and Elder Tianji—also found their targets and met the other "the end" powerhouses.

"It's you! The ant who killed the Holy Master's projection three years ago! The Aura on you... you actually really became a 'True Immortal'?!"

The leader, shaped like a hundred-headed giant snake, covered in jet-black scales, with every head hideous and radiating a chaotic, evil Aura, was the strongest among the three "the end" Demon Generals—the Hundred-Headed Demon Snake.

It sensed the vast, majestic "Chaos Reincarnation" Aura on Lin Wan—which was incompatible with "the end" but faintly suppressed "the end"—and all hundred heads let out sharp hisses simultaneously, its scarlet vertical pupils filled with wariness and... greed.

"True Immortal... what wonderful flesh and Soul! By devouring you, this general might be able to break through in one fell swoop, become a true 'the end True Demon,' return to 'the end Ancestral Land,' and obtain supreme glory!"

Another one, in the shape of a twisted giant, with viscous black pus that seemed to corrode everything flowing all over its body, was the Pus Demon General; its voice was like a broken gong, filled with malicious excitement.

"Enough nonsense. Kill him, devour his Dao Fruit, and offer it to the great 'the end Will,' and we shall all receive supreme gifts!"

The third one, in the shape of a continuously writhing black shadow formed by the wailing of countless resentful Souls, was the Resentful Soul Demon General; its voice was sharp and piercing, carrying a power that bewitched the heart.

"You want to devour me? With just you three monsters who have been eroded by 'the end' and long ago lost your selves?"

A cold smile curled the corners of Lin Wan's mouth, and a flash of cold light shone in his eyes. "Very well, I shall use you to test exactly what kind of power this 'Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom' of mine possesses!"

Before his voice had even faded, Lin Wan had already made his move.

He did not even use any Magic Treasure, nor did he display any flashy Divine Ability; he simply, without fanfare, pointed a finger from afar toward the three rushing "the end Demon Generals."

"Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom Suppression!"

"Hum—!"

A point of grayish light, seemingly containing endless dao rhyme of evolution, inclusion, Reincarnation, existence, and the end, lit up from Lin Wan's fingertip.

It then rapidly expanded, transforming into a hazy, slowly rotating, massive light projection that seemed to contain a real "world," existing between the virtual and the real, covering a radius of tens of thousands of miles, and descended to envelop the three "the end Demon Generals" and the boundless tide of monsters behind them!

It was none other than the projection of the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom"!

Unlike three years ago when it first condensed into a rudimentary form—illusory and fragile—the current projection of the "Divine Kingdom" had solidified significantly.

The phantoms of mountains and rivers, sun, moon, and stars, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and the cycle of life and death within it were clearly visible, and the pressure it emitted was unimaginably terrifying.

Under the shroud of this "Divine Kingdom" projection, the viscous "the end" Aura, filled with erosion and deathly silence, met its nemesis and rapidly receded and disintegrated.

Countless low-level monsters that had been eroded by "the end," rushing forward, could not even let out a scream before they were shone upon by the light emitted by the "Divine Kingdom" projection—light that contained the dao rhyme of "Purification," "evolution," and "existence."

Like snow meeting the scorching sun, they rapidly dissolved and were Purified, turning into the most fundamental Chaos Origin Qi, which was absorbed and transformed by the "Divine Kingdom" projection to become nutrients for the "Divine Kingdom's" evolution.

"What is this power?! To be able to Purify 'the end' so easily?!"

"Bad! Retreat quickly! This light projection is strange!"

"Join forces! Break it!"

The Hundred-Headed Demon Snake, the Pus Demon General, and the Resentful Soul Demon General were the strongest and most knowledgeable among the three "the end Demon Generals," and they felt the terror of the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" projection immediately.

The Aura contained within that light—which seemed capable of containing everything, evolving everything, Purifying everything, and ending everything—made them feel fear and trembling from the depths of their Souls, as if they had encountered their natural predator!

They roared madly, each erupting with their strongest power, attempting to break through the shroud and suppression of the "Divine Kingdom" projection.

The Hundred-Headed Demon Snake let out a chorus of roars from its hundred heads, spewing endless pitch-black poisonous fog, destructive demonic light, and corrosive acid, attempting to pollute and erode the "Divine Kingdom" projection.

The Pus Demon General's body expanded rapidly, transforming into a sea of viscous, disgusting black pus covering thousands of miles of the starry sky, emitting terrifying corrosive and assimilating power, intending to melt and devour the "Divine Kingdom" projection.

The Resentful Soul Demon General transformed into hundreds of millions of wailing, resentful black shadows, surging like a tide to impact the "Divine Kingdom" projection, attempting to use endless resentment and negative emotions to pollute and collapse the core Laws of the "Divine Kingdom" projection.

However, facing the frenzied counterattack of the three "the end Demon Generals" approaching the "True Immortal" level, the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" projection merely paused slightly, and then, the light burst forth brilliantly!

Inside the "Divine Kingdom," the hazy phantoms of mountains and rivers seemed to become real, emitting a heavy force that suppressed the heavens; the phantoms of the sun, moon, and stars rotated, erupting with the light of creation that Purified and evolved all things; the phantoms of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning roared, releasing violent energies of destruction and rebirth; and the phantoms of the cycle of life and death flowed, emitting the profound dao rhyme of transcendence and the end.

The "Chaos" dao rhyme flowed, completely containing, decomposing, and assimilating the pitch-black poisonous fog, destructive demonic light, corrosive acid, viscous pus, and resentful black shadows, turning them into Chaos Origin Qi.

The "existence" dao rhyme stabilized, anchoring the "Divine Kingdom" projection itself, making it stand immovable and as stable as a mountain under the frenzied attacks of the three Demon Generals.

The "Reincarnation" dao rhyme operated, incorporating those incoming resentments and negative emotions into the Reincarnation system, Purifying and transforming them into the driving force for the "Divine Kingdom's" evolution.

Even the dao rhyme representing "the end," which had only recently been integrated, played its role at this moment, accelerating and guiding the decomposition, Purification, and transformation process of those "the end" powers, causing the "Divine Kingdom" projection's restraint and Purification effect on the power of "the end" to reach a startling level.

"No—! This is impossible!!"

"This is... a Dao Fruit Divine Kingdom?! You actually condensed such a perfect, such a powerful Divine Kingdom while still in the Early Stage of True Immortal?!"

"Ah—! My power! My Origin! It's being Purified! It's being devoured!"

The three "the end Demon Generals" let out shrieks of terror and despair.

They could clearly feel that their power, which they prided themselves on and which contained the Origin of "the end," was being rapidly decomposed, Purified, devoured, and transformed under the shroud of that eerie, grayish light!

Even their own "the end" Dao Fruits were beginning to collapse and disintegrate under the suppression and Purification of that light!

This light was simply the... natural predator! The nemesis of their "the end" path!

"You want to escape only now? It is too late."

Lin Wan's eyes were cold, and with a thought, the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" projection suddenly contracted and suppressed inward!

"Boom—!!!"

A terrifying force of suppression erupted. The three "the end Demon Generals" were struck as if by billions of ancient sacred mountains. The Hundred-Headed Demon Snake's hundred heads exploded one after another; the sea of pus that the Pus Demon General had transformed into was rapidly evaporated and Purified; the hundreds of millions of resentful black shadows that the Resentful Soul Demon General had turned into melted away rapidly, like snow under the sun.

In just a few breaths, the three "the end Demon Generals" that were approaching the "True Immortal" level—capable of reigning supreme in this Star Domain and striking fear into countless realms—were, under the suppression, Purification, and devouring of the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" projection, screaming as they completely turned into nothingness, without even a speck of residue left.

Their power, Dao Fruits, and Origin were all absorbed and transformed by the "Divine Kingdom" projection, becoming yet another portion of... nutrients for the "Divine Kingdom's" evolution.

The "Divine Kingdom" projection brightened slightly, seemingly becoming more solid, and the "world" scene evolving within it seemed a bit more vivid and real.

Silence. A deathly silence.

Not only were the remaining "the end" powerhouses on the opposite side, who were fiercely battling the Alliance's "Quasi-Immortal"s, plunged into stupor and fear, but even the "Quasi-Immortal"s on the Alliance side, as well as the hundreds of millions of Alliance soldiers fighting the tide of monsters below, were dumbfounded, watching in disbelief as the three terrifying Demon Generals were instantly wiped out under the shroud of that grayish light.

They knew that Alliance Leader Lin Wan was strong, and after achieving "Chaos Reincarnation True Immortal," he would inevitably be even stronger.

But they could never have imagined that he would be strong to this extent!

Three "the end Demon Generals" that were approaching, or perhaps had even reached, the "True Immortal" level, with monstrous ferocity, were... so vulnerable before the Alliance Leader?

Furthermore, it seemed the Alliance Leader had only used some kind of Divine Ability projection, without even using his true methods?

"Alliance Leader... is invincible!"

"Chaos Reincarnation True Immortal! Unstoppable!"

After a brief, deathly silence, the Alliance army erupted into even more fanatical and shocking cheers!

Morale instantly soared to the Peak!

As for the "the end" powerhouses and monsters on the opposite side, their morale plummeted; many low-level monsters even collapsed directly under the pressure of the Aura emitted by the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" projection—which was like a natural predator and nemesis to them—and fled in all directions.

"Flee! Flee quickly! This one cannot be fought!"

"Quickly, report to the Saint Lord's true body! No, report to the lords of the 'Ancestral Land'! An anomaly has been born, it must be strangled as early as possible!"

The remaining "the end" powerhouses no longer had any Battle Intent; screaming in terror, they turned into streaks of black light and fled frantically toward the deeper parts of the "Black Abyss."

"You want to escape? Have you asked this Alliance Leader?"

Lin Wan's eyes were cold. With one step, he had already appeared deep within the "Black Abyss," above the core area where the "the end" Aura was most dense and the spatial structure was most abnormal.

He looked down at the dark vortex below, which was like the mouth of an abyss, continuously spewing out viscous "the end" Aura, with faint spatial fluctuations emanating from it, and a trace of sternness flashed in his eyes.

"Is this the entrance to that spatial passage? It truly connects to an even more terrifying source of 'the end'..."

"Today, I shall completely destroy this passage and cut off your retreat!"

"Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom Descent, Seal the Heavens and Lock the Earth, Purify All Ages!"

Lin Wan no longer held back. With a thought, the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" within his body, which had already completely formed and stabilized, revealed for the first time before the world its... true power!

"Hum—!!!"

A vast, grand, ancient, and terrifying Aura, as if opening up the heavens and earth and evolving the heavens, erupted from within Lin Wan's body.

The next moment, a hazy yet undeniably real massive light projection, which seemed to contain a real world, grayish in color, covering a million miles of the starry sky, slowly rose from above Lin Wan's head, and then... slowly... descended to suppress the dark vortex below and the entire core area of the "Black Abyss"!

This time, it was no longer a projection, but... the true "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom"... descending!
