341: They originally shared the same origin, but now they are completely opposed!

Seeing this, Chen Nian was very satisfied.

He could feel the deeper, more vast, and murderous Abyssal aura coming from the other end of the passage.

Without a doubt, that was his destination—the Gloomy Abyss!

points and new skills were beckoning to him.

However, just as the spatial passage was about to stabilize.

At the moment when the directionality became clearer and clearer, almost breaking through the final barrier—

"Rumble—!!!!!!"

A sudden change occurred!

The entire Abyss of Curses territory underwent a world-shaking, terrifying tremor without any warning!

It wasn't a vibration from gathered energy.

It was a violent tremor on the entire spatial level, as if it were being tightly gripped, pulled, and about to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand!

Countless black spatial cracks split open in the sky, and the ground cracked and warped like a shattered mirror!

Those Cursed Crystal Pillars that were providing energy let out shrill wails, and dense cracks appeared on their surfaces!

Even the Central Altar itself began to shake and disintegrate!

The spatial passage that had just formed twisted violently and flickered, becoming extremely unstable, as if it would completely vanish at any moment.

"This is... they... they are actually cutting off and exiling my territory!!"

The Lord of Curses instantly realized what had happened.

His crimson bloodshot eyes erupted with unparalleled shock, fury, despair, and a trace of icy hatred from being betrayed!

Just like when they cut off the core territory of the Incinerator to prevent Chen Nian from pursuing!

Those Dominators of the Gloomy Abyss, in order to save themselves.

Actually chose to cut off and exile the entire territory of the Lord of Curses without hesitation!

Chen Nian also frowned slightly; he naturally sensed these familiar spatial severance fluctuations.

It was exactly the same as the Incinerator's territory back then.

Only on a larger scale and more decisive!

He glanced at the Lord of Curses with some displeasure, his gaze cold:

"It seems your colleagues don't care much about whether you live or die; they're even throwing away your home base."

At this moment, the Lord of Curses felt as if his heart were being pierced by billions of poison needles!

Shock, fury, despair, hatred, bitterness, and a trace of absurd sorrow were intertwined!

Previously, in order to survive, he had yielded to Chen Nian and was even prepared to lead the way to counterattack the Abyss.

But he didn't expect the retaliation to come so quickly and so ruthlessly!

The Lord of Curses let out a hoarse roar, his voice filled with a crazed obsession:

"No... I can't let them succeed!"

"This is my territory! My people! No one can take them away!!"

He was no longer opening the passage for Chen Nian.

But to protect his final reason for existence!

"All citizens! Burn your Soul fires! Sacrifice your Origins! Give all your strength to me!!"

The Lord of Curses' voice resounded throughout the space, carrying a Lord's command and a crazed Soul-level motivation!

The Demonic Evils, who were originally terrified and confused by the severance fluctuations.

Under the Lord's command and the pressure of a desperate situation, they actually erupted with a tragic sense of shared enmity!

They might be ignorant, they might be evil.

But at this moment, they and their Lord, and this land that had nurtured them.

Were facing the fate of being abandoned by their kin and exiled into the Void Realm!

"For Your Majesty! For the territory!!" Someone was the first to roar out.

Immediately after, thousands of Demonic Evils roared in unison!

A decisive light erupted in their eyes.

No longer forced, they actively and crazily burned their Soul fires, squeezing out their life Origins.

They poured energy—more violent and reckless than before—fiercely into the Central Altar and into the crumbling Foundation of the territory!

...Meanwhile.

Gloomy Abyss, Core Council.

At this moment, it was also a mess here!

"What's going on?! Why did the resistance suddenly skyrocket?!"

"It's the Lord of Curses! He's resisting! He's mobilizing the strength of the entire territory to fight against the severance!"

"That madman! He brought the Fiend upon himself, and now he wants to drag us down with him?!"

"He's fighting for his life! He's burning the territory's Origin and his citizens' Soul fires! He wants to stabilize the territory!"

The Skeleton Monarch, Thousand-Illusion Demon Lord, Lava Troll, and Putrid Dominator were both shocked and furious.

They could clearly sense that the resistance coming from the direction of the Abyss of Curses had suddenly increased several times over!

That crazed, decisive power, carrying an aura of mutual destruction, clearly came from the Lord of Curses.

Moreover, it had the support of his entire territory!

The Skeleton Monarch's Soul fire burned wildly as he roared fiercely:

"Increase the intensity! We must not let him succeed!"

"Otherwise, if that Fiend charges over along the incompletely severed passage, we'll all be finished!"

The four Dominators no longer cared about their aching Origins.

They crazily channeled their power, even starting to burn a portion of their reserves.

They pushed the power of the "Abyssal Severance" ritual to its limit!

Two forces that should have shared the same source were now completely opposed.

On one side was the decisive and cold "severance and exile" jointly launched by the four Dominators.

On the other side was the "stabilizing counter-pull" for which the Lord of Curses burned everything to protect to the death.

The two forces engaged in a tragic tug-of-war on the Law level at the border of the Cursed territory!

Space wailed, cracked, and reorganized!

A chaotic energy storm swept through everything!

More and more black cracks appeared at the edge of the Cursed territory, and the entire territory shook violently like a lonely boat in a storm.

Sometimes blurred, sometimes clear.

Dark purple energy streams began to overflow from the Lord of Curses' body, a sign of excessive Origin consumption.

However, although the Lord of Curses was proficient in techniques and was now giving his all, burning everything for a life-or-death struggle.

In the end, he was only one Dominator, and he was already heavily injured and broken.

Whereas on the opposite side, the Gloomy Abyss had a total of four Dominators working together, and they even used a portion of the Law authority of the Abyss core.

Thus, no matter how unwilling, how crazed, or how he squeezed the last value out of himself and his citizens... "Rumble—!!!!!!"

Accompanied by a dull roar that sounded as if heaven and earth were being eternally separated.

That invisible umbilical cord connecting the Cursed territory and the Gloomy Abyss core.

Was finally forcibly severed!

Severance, complete!

Exile, beginning!

The spatial crack on the Central Altar also completely vanished in the end, leaving only a patch of shattered spatial ripples.

The passage failed to complete.

The scene suddenly fell into a dead silence.

A sense of defeat from exhausted energy permeated the air.

The surviving Demonic Evils collapsed on the ground, their eyes filled only with hollow despair.

Had they even lost their final value?

As if his spine had been removed, the Lord of Curses' broken body swayed, almost collapsing to the ground.

But he was forcibly pulled up by the golden chains.

His crimson bloodshot eyes dimmed completely, leaving only boundless grey defeat and dead silence.

It was over; everything was over.

The territory had become an isolated island, the citizens suffered heavy casualties, and the passage failed to open... He seemed to have lost even his last bit of value.

Just then, Chen Nian moved.

He slowly walked up to the despondent Lord of Curses.

He reached out and gently placed his hand on the Lord of Curses' bowed, crack-filled head.

He merely gave a contemptuous smile and said in a cruel tone:

"So..."

"Can you explain properly what the situation is now?"

"What use are you all to me now?"
