In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

"Can't force it!"

Su Han decisively abandoned maintaining the River of Flames and instead poured all his will into his body.

The miniature star vortex trembled violently under his control, and the phantoms of billions of stars appeared on his body surface—this was his new ability, [Star Void], after fusing the essence of the Star Furnace with the Core of Return to the Void.

With a low shout, the illusory stars suddenly exploded, turning into countless points of light that merged into the void.

The next second, the crystal war slave's giant axe struck empty air, but the torn spatial rift strangely began to rotate around Su Han's body.

This is precisely the effect of [Star Ruins], which distorts spatial coordinates through the power of the Ruins, causing all attacks to fall into a maze of star trajectories.

However, Su Han also paid a price for this, with dark golden blood overflowing from his mouth and nose at the same time, as the backlash from forcibly fusing the two sources was intensifying.

The crystal war slave seemed to be stunned for a moment, then let out a roar that was hard to understand.

The crystal on its forehead suddenly cracked open, revealing a pulsating dark purple core inside. A will a hundred times stronger than the previous Seed of Return to Nothingness descended and directly locked onto Su Han's soul.

"Found... a container of the same origin..."

A cold voice rang directly in Su Han's mind. The voice had a metallic quality, yet it contained a chilling greed.

"The Seed of Return to Nothingness is too weak. Only a physique like yours, which combines the essence of stars and the phoenix, is worthy to become the vessel for my avatar..."

Su Han bit his tongue hard, and the intense pain freed him from the shackles of his will.

He finally understood that all of this was a scheme orchestrated by a more powerful being. The Seed of Return to Nothingness was merely bait used to test his physique, while these war slaves were tools to forcibly seize his body.

"Want to be my master?"

A mad flame ignited in Su Han's eyes once more, and the power of the Star Ruins and the Phoenix True Fire within his body surged wildly at the same time. "Then let's see if you devour me, or if I drag out this cowardly scum and grind you to dust!"

He crossed his arms into a cross shape, and the miniature stellar vortex within his body began to rotate in reverse.

This time, it was no longer a self-destructive eruption, but rather the injection of the heat energy of the Star Furnace into the Void Vortex, forming an unprecedented energy form—a dark golden flame vortex slowly unfolded behind him, with the trajectory of the birth and death of stars faintly visible at the center of the vortex, while the edges flowed with the unique ethereal dark patterns of the power of the Void.

The Crystal War Slave seemed to sense the threat. It raised its giant axe high, and the millions of war slaves behind it simultaneously poured energy into the axe blade. Dark matter energy and Void Evil Energy intertwined to form a pillar of light that reached the sky. At the top of the pillar, the phantom of that terrifying eye faintly appeared.

The void froze at that moment. The dark golden vortex behind Su Han and the destructive pillars of light from the War Slave Legion faced each other from afar. One side was a newly born power forcibly fused from two origins, and the other was the power of millions of War Slaves empowered by the laws of destruction. A collision was imminent.

Su Han took a deep breath, suppressing all her fatigue and pain deep inside.

He remembered the annihilated creatures, his blood-soaked comrades, and the despair under that beam of destructive light—all of these images now became fuel, flowing into the dark gold vortex behind him.

"This battle is not about survival..."

He murmured softly, his voice carrying a power that seemed to transcend time and space, "It's to tell everything that's hiding in the darkness—anyone who wants to mess with me, first ask the flame in my hand if it will allow it!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a dark golden streak of light and deliberately crashed into the towering pillar of light.

The vortex behind it expanded wildly, swallowing up all the chaotic currents along the way and turning them into its own power.

The crystal war slave let out an excited roar, and the giant axe fell even faster. The moment the dark gold vortex collided with the pillar of destruction, the entire void was plunged into absolute darkness.

There was no earth-shattering roar, only the nothingness created by the annihilation of two extreme forces, which even swallowed up light completely.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint light appeared in the darkness.

Su Han's figure slowly emerged from the void. His body was even more broken than before, his left arm was twisted unnaturally, and half of his skin was carbonized, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.

He held half a dark golden crystal in his hand, the very piece he had pried off the forehead of the war slave leader, which was now emitting a mournful wail.

"It seems that I won."

Su Han crushed the crystal, feeling the dissipating laws of destruction within it being slowly absorbed by the miniature star vortex within his body.

He knew this was just the beginning, and the owner of that terrifying eye would never let it go, but he was no longer the same person he used to be.

The power of the Star Ruins and the Phoenix True Fire within his body finally achieved a stable balance. Each rotation of the miniature star vortex was accompanied by the rhythm of the birth and death of stars and the rebirth of the phoenix.

Su Han looked up into the deeper universe, where countless eyes seemed to be watching him, but his eyes held only arrogance and determination.

"Next, it's my turn to come find you." (End of Chapter)
