The irresistible force, sharp as a dagger, swept out from the depths of the long corridor, surging forward like a conical, ashen-white drill bit. One moment it was far in the distance, the next it was upon him, revealing the figure within.

Bronze Supreme.

The burly man stared at the magnificent figure whose nose nearly brushed his own. His heart hammered like a startled evening drum. The scorching breath erupting from the other man's nostrils seemed poised to burn his body to ash. This density of palpable danger was something he had never encountered before.

“You…” He staggered back two steps, terror etched across his face. “Who are you?”

Bronze Supreme looked down at him coldly, his brow furrowing slightly. He tilted his head, gazing past the man toward the colossal crystal wall behind him, where an ovate energy barrier shimmered, radiating a vast aura of light. A subtle curve touched his lips, and without sparing the burly man another glance, he walked straight past him.

As Bronze Supreme brushed by, the burly man felt as if his essence—his Jing, Qi, and Hun—had been siphoned away. When the figure was gone, the man immediately felt a sudden weakness flood his limbs, his fingers trembling. His mouth hung slightly open, unable to form words.

Then, with a soft thud, he collapsed onto the earth.

Great pools of fresh blood welled up from beneath him like a spring, quickly dyeing the ground a deep, bloody red.

Bronze Supreme arrived before the ovate barrier. He tilted his head back in what seemed like intoxication, his narrow eyes squinting, resembling two black gems set into slits. “Goddess of Light… Though your splendor is unmatched and your grace captivating, after endless eons, you will still become the meal on my plate, the meat in my mouth, entering my very belly!”

He licked his lips.

Then, he retreated nearly twenty paces, raising his palm. An ashen-white current of energy began to coalesce in his hand, shimmering with the purest light of Chaos.

Ashen-white crystal fragments danced around his palm, possessing an indescribable, brilliant beauty.

“Crystals of Chaos!”

His hand suddenly clenched, and all the crystal light instantly contracted, synthesizing into a single, ash-white speck the size of a red bean. It shot rapidly toward the ovate barrier.

Boom—

The ashen-white particle struck the barrier, but unleashed a torrent of vast, imposing power, like a massive hammer slamming against a metal wall. The resulting shockwave billowed out like a blast of air, causing the entire colossal barrier to tremble. A hairline fracture appeared on its surface, smooth as an eggshell.

The ashen-white particle embedded itself tightly, followed by a rapid succession of cracking sounds… Instantly, countless fine spiderweb cracks spread across the barrier’s surface, and then, with a sudden, sharp report, it exploded.

Innumerable points of crystal light rained down, scattered like a curtain of rain, reflected in Bronze Supreme’s expectant, shining eyes.

His expression froze the very next instant.

Unimaginable shock and terror, like the hand of Death itself, contorted his features… “How is this possible…” His eyes widened as a surging tide of snow-white energy violently erupted outward from within the barrier… engulfing Bronze Supreme and thrusting him out into the pitch-black corridor.

Rumble～～

Bathed in moonlight, the silent Divine Mountain suddenly erupted with an unprecedented, earth-shattering roar. Then, sections of the mountain began to crack and cleave apart, great slabs of rock peeling away from the cliff edge and plunging into the abyss. A sharp, vast beam of white light shot out from the mountain’s base, tearing the entire mountain apart as it collapsed. The momentum of this white light did not diminish; it continued to ripple outward like a breaking wave, spreading far into the distance across the air, like a propagating wall of white water… madly destroying and submerging every peak, forest, city, and structure in its path, as if Nature herself had roared in anger.

A circular wave of radiant white light, centered on the Divine Mountain, spread rapidly, sweeping across the entire snow domain with irresistible heavenly might.

Nine hundred li from the Divine Mountain.

A figure clad entirely in black suddenly materialized on the snow. His dark clothing floated gently around him like soft clouds. He looked up at the sky. “I wonder how the battle is going?”

A contemplative shadow crossed his deep gaze.

Since entering the snow domain, he had noticed many snow beasts slain by an unusual attack—each killed in a single blow. This indicated that someone had entered the snow domain ahead of him, and that person’s strength was considerable!

He conceded that had he not acquired the Spring of Earth and the Shield of Earth, he would have had no choice but to flee upon encountering this individual. He had anticipated this mysterious person to be his greatest adversary, yet now a Supreme from the Chaos Realm had complicated matters. If the two of them met, a fierce battle was inevitable, and if the mysterious person could deplete some of the Chaos Realm Supreme’s strength, he would be confident in striking the Supreme down!

Unless… the one arriving was the Great Supreme of the Chaos Realm!

His brow furrowed tightly. If it weren’t for the corpse of the Goddess of Light, he would never risk such peril.

As he pondered, a faint, almost illusory whistling sound suddenly echoed near his ear. He paused momentarily, looking up. His pupils constricted instantly as he saw a colossal wave of white light, like an avalanche, roaring toward him, punctuated by piercing, continuous rumbles, advancing rapidly like a colossal snow-white beast.

“This aura, this…” Dizang Chuan’s heart hammered. “Impossible, could she not be dead…”

Rumble——

The sweeping roar gradually drew nearer.

Dizang Chuan gritted his teeth and rapidly turned, fleeing into the distance. Behind him, the white crests of the wave gnawed at everything between heaven and earth—forests, stones, even the space in the sky and the flow of time were ground into dust.

This devastating, magnificent power rolled and swept over everything.

Longtevis, City of Unmatched Valor.

The city streets were bustling. Medicinal herbs collected from the surrounding forests were being transported to southern ports for sale. Craftsmen’s weapons and sewn leathers were displayed in various shops along the streets, while idle passersby casually viewed the goods. Everything appeared as usual.

Rumble～

Many pedestrians on the street involuntarily stopped, feeling the ground beneath their feet tremble as if illusory, like the eruption of magma from the depths of an abyss. Amidst their surprise and alarm, everyone watched as the grains of sand on the ground began to jump like beans, the vibration increasing visibly and rapidly.

“Look—!”

Amidst a chorus of cries, everyone turned to see the vast, rolling white tide in the distant sky, frantically obliterating everything that lay in its path.

The magnificent outer walls of the entire City of Unmatched Valor crumbled rapidly like glass under the pressure of this white wave. Everything vanished into dust in an instant. The pedestrians on the street, witnessing this horrifying scene, had no time to flee before their bodies were swept past by the white wave like razor blades and disappeared without a trace.

From the sky, the mighty white wave swept in like a giant beast, instantly engulfing the vast City of Unmatched Valor, leaving the nearby forests swept into a pure white expanse.

Abyss of Dead Souls.

By the campfire, Ye Chen sat quietly on a piece of deadwood. The warm light illuminated the front of his robe. His eyes were closed, and the principles and profound meanings of the twelve different energies in his mind clashed like intersecting swords, grating fiercely and threatening to tear his brain apart.

His brow was slightly furrowed.

Mike, sitting opposite him, remained silent, simply staring intently into the fire. The flickering flames reflected in his pupils, like exquisite, vibrant lotuses, brilliant and luxurious.

Time flowed on quietly…

Suddenly, the entire world seemed to be jostled by something, shaking violently. The sky and the earth shifted with a jolt, and even Ye Chen sitting on the deadwood, Mike, the sleeping Little Scale beside them, and the dancing flames all trembled slightly.

Ye Chen opened his eyes and looked at Mike in astonishment.

Mike abruptly stood up, throwing his head back to gaze at the sky, his expression grave. He stared intently at a specific spot in the darkness, and his face suddenly changed drastically in horror. “Impossible!”

Before his words had fully faded, a thread of ultimate white light suddenly appeared high above the dark space, rapidly expanding like an umbrella, illuminating the entire dark sky into a field of white. The scorching white light radiated onto their bodies, piercing them like billions of fiery needles. The immense pain caused everyone to break out in cold sweat, their faces contorted as they clenched their teeth.

“What is this?” Little Scale struggled to lift her head, her seductive eyes filled with terror, her voice trembling.

Mike’s expression was indescribably grim. “If I’m not mistaken… the entrance to the Abyss of Dead Souls has been breached by this light!”

“What!” Little Scale cried out, her eyes wide with surprise.

“But…” Mike’s body trembled slightly. “The energy contained within this white light is unbelievable, too immense, and… it is still hurtling toward us at the speed of light.”

Little Scale paused, stunned.

“Is there nowhere to hide?” Ye Chen asked quickly.

“Nowhere,” Mike replied, his face ashen. “The energy is too vast, irresistible.”

Ye Chen stared at him blankly for a moment, then suddenly snapped his head up to the sky. His gaze held intense unwillingness. Watching the scorching white light grow ever brighter, almost purifying his body and his sight, he let out a roar of bitter resentment toward the heavens.

The white light descended like the Milky Way from the Ninth Heaven, engulfing the entire Abyss of Dead Souls.

Innumerable vengeful spirits and resentful souls issued piercing screams as they were directly purified. Even Little Scale cried out as her body began to collapse; the scales on her massive serpentine body rapidly disintegrated and melted away, leaving behind only a shrill, piercing shriek.

This boundless, vast white light, like an endless ocean, instantly engulfed the entire snow domain, centered on the Divine Mountain. The four great empires, countless cities, and the territories of numerous snow beasts and the Forest of Snow Demons were all submerged and pulverized into the most primitive energy matter within this light.

The ruptured entrance to the Chaos Realm was violently shaken by the impact of this white light.

The situation has settled down. Normal updates will resume tomorrow. I apologize for making everyone wait these past two days; I will certainly make up for the missed content later.
