Ming Hao, Xuan He, and Pheliet stared at the Void Mirror, their expressions grave, profound astonishment etched in their eyes.

The clash between Xing Huo and Shi Yan’s divine weapons had caused the void to collapse, unleashing torrents of violent extra-dimensional calamity that flooded the Fire Rain Starfield, leaving it in its current precarious state—slowly dissolving into nothingness.

This was a disaster neither the Bloodthirsty lineage nor the God Clan wished to witness.

"He is only at the Second Heaven of the Origin God realm, yet he withstood a strike from Xing Huo and managed to severely wound Xing Huo's soul. Truly worthy of being the Inheritor," Pheliet nodded slightly.

Xuan He stroked his chin, a playful smirk on his face. "He must be suffering badly. Though he seized the Origin Source and unlocked all his potential, the gap in cultivation is too vast. His injuries must be no less severe than Xing Huo's, but…"

He paused, chuckling softly. "But Suo Dun and Pa Ge were so shaken by his single blow that they missed the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to finish him off, granting him time to recover. Suo Dun and Pa Ge could never imagine how terrifying the recovery rate becomes once the Devouring Profundity is activated."

"In the previous era, they were mere footnotes; naturally, they wouldn't know the marvel of the Master's Profundity," Pheliet grinned hideously.

"The Fire Rain Starfield is collapsing. Without external intervention, it will become another desolate place absorbed by the Void Sea of Nothingness," Ming Hao frowned, pondering. He suddenly transmitted a sliver of divine soul essence, which traversed different spaces, searching for something.

After a while, Ming Hao narrowed his eyes and let out a soft sigh.

Xuan He glanced sideways at him. "Dicarro refuses to intervene again?"

Ming Hao nodded.

"I've always been curious. You were once the most outstanding new-generation leader of the Nether Emperor Clan. The Master… killed your previous mentor. Why did you still follow him?" Xuan He inquired, perplexed.

Ming Hao suddenly let out a cold snort. "Weren't you the leader of the Undying Demon Clan back then, yet you still submitted under the Master's banner? Dicarro won't go to the Fire Rain Starfield. And then there is the enigmatic and unfathomable Videson. This matter is quite thorny."

"If Shi Yan cannot smooth out the chaos in that starfield within half an hour, I will make a trip myself," Xuan He frowned, impatient. "Don't you just want me to go?"

"Indeed. I cannot split myself; only you can go," Ming Hao paused, then stated gravely, "That fellow named Videson has an ordinary background. However, the activity surrounding him is immense; there are aspects of him that even I cannot fully discern."

Ming Hao's souls were distributed across various starfields. While he spoke with Xuan He and Pheliet here, his other avatars had already investigated Videson's background and identity thoroughly through his established channels.

"When you go, you must focus on uncovering Videson's secret. I have a nagging feeling… the aura of that Jiadu on him is even stranger than when Jiadu was alive…"

Ming Hao spoke vaguely.

Xuan He’s eyes flickered as he coldly observed the Void Mirror, saying nothing more.

...

At this moment, Shi Yan’s condition was indeed extremely dire, even life-threatening.

If Suo Dun and Pa Ge were to strike him now, he would instantly shatter, possibly exploding his physical form and annihilating his divine soul.

This was because the layers of his Soul Altar were fractured; the connections between his Sea of Consciousness, Profundity Layer, Origin Realm, and Prime Soul had been suddenly severed by a sharp blade. He was in a state of complete soul defenselessness, where even an ordinary Origin God warrior could heavily wound or destroy him.

This was all due to the collision with Xing Huo’s 'Heavenly Star Icy Jade Shard.' Xing Huo, a pseudo-Immortal realm expert, possessed extremely refined divine power and profound Profundities. Furthermore, that 'Heavenly Star Icy Jade Shard' was his life-bound supreme treasure, tempered for centuries after being obtained from the 'Void Sea of Nothingness.'

The power contained within that tiny icy jade shard could pulverize several life stars. His full-force collision had violently shaken his altar, causing it to crack layer by layer.

Fortunately, Suo Dun and Pa Ge were seized by fear and dared not strike, otherwise, he would likely already be dead.

Now, all his acupoints were spinning wildly. The energy he had previously absorbed, once purified, transformed into the purest, clearest mysterious exotic power, surging from his seven hundred and twenty acupoints like trickling streams into his brain, flooding his Sea of Consciousness.

Beginning from the Sea of Consciousness layer, the fractures in his altar were being glued and repaired, with extreme speed!

Both suffered severe soul injuries, yet Xing Huo could only forcibly suppress his pain to rush into the void turbulence to search for his life-bound supreme treasure.

Shi Yan, who was more grievously injured, could use the subtleties of the Devouring Profundity to stabilize his altar rapidly with the newly formed energy, quickly restoring it to its original state.

"Videson! Wake up! Wake up for me!"

Suo Dun suddenly screamed, his face becoming unnaturally grim, his imposing body trembling with anxiety.

The location where he and Pa Ge stood was a gathering point for the God Clan. Now, many clan members there were being engulfed by the void turbulence, shattered by the aftershock of Shi Yan and Xing Huo's strikes. The surrounding sea of stars was collapsing bit by bit, like shattering glass.

The God Clan warships that had not yet exploded were fleeing at top speed under the shouts of Suo Dun and Pa Ge, their divine crystal energy pushed to the extreme.

They shot away like shooting stars.

Those warships needed time to escape, and those clan members needed time to survive.

Videson’s arrival would be catastrophic. His 'Domain Field' would accelerate the starfield's collapse, causing any clansmen who hadn't escaped to dissolve.

Suo Dun screamed, but Videson was deaf to it, approaching at alarming speed.

"Use the Soul-Shattering God Leaf!" Pa Ge gritted his teeth ruthlessly and bellowed, "Quickly!"

Suo Dun frowned deeply, his eyes flashing with strange light as he darted glances between the distant Shi Yan and the approaching Videson, clearly wavering.

"Even if Shi Yan is obliterated by the Soul-Shattering God Leaf, it won't change our fate or the plight of our people. That Videson will annihilate the Fire Rain Starfield, and we and our clan will perish! Deal with him! Only if he cannot approach do we have a chance to reverse everything. That Shi Yan will inevitably face our clan's relentless pursuit later!" Pa Ge shrieked.

Suo Dun finally ceased hesitating. The formidable weapon, recharged by the Elder Council, shot out as a streak of golden light towards Videson.

A tiny golden leaf, upon emerging, suddenly magnified, transforming into a radiant, golden screen. The screen was etched with millions of intricate and profound golden rune arrays, which were densely packed like the meridians of a body, mysterious and fine, and now they came alive.

The millions of mysterious rune arrays unleashed their power simultaneously, a fierce fluctuation as vast as a golden ocean erupting from the golden screen.

Like a golden ray piercing the firmament, the light shot directly at Videson, yet it activated the million rune arrays on the golden screen. Those million arrays exploded simultaneously!

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Innumerable overlapping golden waves swept toward Videson’s direction. Each layer of golden wave contained tens of thousands of explosive pulses, continuous and seemingly endless.

The frenzied Videson, whose domain field carried the corrosive aura of Jiadu, was momentarily unable to completely dissolve or corrode the incoming layers of golden waves. He was bombarded relentlessly by the million explosive forces within them, his divine body shuddering violently as if being hammered repeatedly by a giant mallet, twitching electrically.

"Bang!"

Videson’s chest bulged. His divine body spun backward, forcibly shoved toward the abyssal dangerous zone.

He failed to break through completely, failed to shatter Suo Dun and Pa Ge’s maneuver, and failed to reach Shi Yan.

The God Clan’s ultimate weapon, the 'Soul-Shattering God Leaf,' proved indeed ferocious, finally halting Videson's rampage and blasting him into that dark abyss until he vanished from sight.

Just then, Shi Yan, who had been frozen stiff, was suddenly engulfed by the void turbulence and vanished from Suo Dun and Pa Ge's sight.

The river of stars before Suo Dun and Pa Ge seemed like a torn piece of cloth, gradually expanding—this was the process of the starfield's demise, filled with the great horrors of the void turbulence. Waves of soul-extinguishing gale winds blew over, capable of extinguishing souls, and streams of chilling power flooded in, capable of cracking the bodies of Origin Gods.

"To the Sea of Origin! Return to the Ancestral Star via the Sea of Origin!" Suo Dun and Pa Ge roared in unison.

The God Clan warships, giving up entirely on hunting the assassins under the Hexagonal Star, all reversed direction, frantically charging towards the Sea of Origin of the Fire Rain Starfield, hoping to use the void passage to return to the Ancient God Starfield.

Simultaneously, the warriors of the Fire Rain Starfield hiding on the Hexagonal Star also witnessed the doomsday-like upheaval, letting out desperate cries, rushing out from the Hexagonal Star and fleeing towards the Sea of Origin.

Within the void turbulence.

Countless torrents, unknown light beams, and surging flames exploded like waterfalls, bursting forth in all directions amidst streaks of extra-dimensional strange light. Shi Yan remained suspended motionlessly, his acupoints furiously absorbing energy.

The God Clan members swallowed by the void turbulence, in this deadly place where only high-level Space Profundity practitioners could survive, were nearly all annihilated in an instant. Their dispersed energy was almost entirely and subconsciously absorbed by Shi Yan, transforming into pure power to restore his altar.

After a short while, waves of surging new power flooded his altar, restoring its fractured layers.

With a thought, he let out a strange, fiendish chuckle. In a flash, he emerged from the void turbulence.

He appeared in the most chaotic part of the Fire Rain Starfield. Touching his brow, his Origin Realm suddenly manifested. Streams of star rivers rippled forth from within the Origin Realm, imbued with the subtleties of space, like a pair of divine hands smoothing the heavens and earth, pulling and healing the gigantic, ruptured void hole.

His expression focused, his eyes slightly narrowed, fully enacting his years of comprehension of Space Profundity through this act of spatial repair.

This was a deep retracing of Space Profundity.

His divine sense flew like a shuttle, weaving through the surroundings like needle and thread stitching the void, profoundly mysterious.

His Origin Realm, brilliant like a river of stars, resembled a miniature vast sea of stars, displaying countless bizarre stellar points, as if the distance between stars had been compressed. While he repaired space, the mysterious exotic power within his acupoints continued to inject into his Sea of Consciousness and his altar.

Pouring all his effort into repairing the void breach, he failed to notice that as the mysterious exotic power surged in, his Origin Realm began to expand and stretch slowly, like a universe opening up.

A wondrous sensation of his Origin Realm being cleverly connected to the world within his entire system of acupoints once again surfaced, filling him with an ineffable emotion.
