Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Su Xiao's shoulder wound was so deep that the bone was visible. After forcing Korst back with a backhand slash, he did not pause at all. His whole body turned into a blurry afterimage once again. The Dragon Slayer Flash, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, pierced straight into Korst's heart!
Kristallnacht's seemingly enormous body suddenly displayed incredible agility.

Faced with this attack, he neither dodged nor avoided it, but instead slashed upwards at an extremely tricky angle with the long black sword in his hand.

The blade sliced ​​through the air, striking the blade of the Dragon Slayer with perfect precision.

clang!
A piercing clang of metal rang out, and a visible ripple spread out from the point of impact, carving a deep trench in the ground.

In the clash of pure strength, Su Xiao's arms went numb, his blood surged, and he staggered back three steps, each step leaving spiderweb-like cracks on the hard altar floor.

In contrast, Krost only swayed slightly before regaining his balance.

If it weren't for Lin Yi's aura providing Su Xiao with a power boost, this single exchange would have been enough to severely injure him, and he would never have been able to escape so easily.

Just as Ross was about to press his advantage and plunge his empty blade into Su Xiao's chest—

"Soul Suppression!"

hum!
An invisible force field descended instantly, and the space within a ten-meter radius of Korst suddenly distorted. Gravity seemed to be frantically pulled by an invisible giant hand, increasing dozens of times.

The altar rock beneath Krusk's feet emitted a teeth-grinding groan, instantly cracking and sinking more than half a foot, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading wildly from his feet as the center.

The sudden, terrifying pressure inevitably caused a slight delay in His movements, and Lin Yi forcibly interrupted His sure-kill strike.

"Restraint."

Dozens of completely transparent silk threads instantly wrapped around Krist's limbs, neck, and the jet-black longsword.

Krist's muscles bulged, attempting to forcefully snap these seemingly delicate threads with pure brute force. The Dark Soul Silk was stretched taut, emitting a teeth-grinding creaking sound, yet it stubbornly held on.

The Dark Soul Silk, like a greedy creature, burrowed deep into the flesh and bones of the Krust, its immense power twisting and deforming his body, giving him a bizarre silhouette resembling a "tire man."

Just then, the Dark Soul Silk frantically absorbed the energy within His body, emitting a faint hissing sound.

Having lived for so many years, this is the first time that Krost has been corrupted in reverse. In the past, he has always been the one corrupting others, so this is the first time he has experienced this.

"Hmm? Abyssal power? An abyssal healer. You are an abyssal healer." Ross seemed to have recognized Lin Yi's identity, and his struggling movements suddenly stopped.

"Looks like I'm in luck." Just as Karst was about to say something, Su Xiao made his move.

The Dragon Slayer in his hand shone with a dazzling blue-green light, a manifestation of the Azure Steel Shadow energy being pushed to its limit.

Blade Path - Shadowless Blade.

His figure merged into the flash of the blade, moving faster than the limits of visual perception, transforming into a bolt of azure lightning that tore through the darkness, aimed directly at Krist's brow.

Faced with this fatal blow, a trace of solemnity flashed in the eyes of Krist, who was bound by both Soul Suppression and Dark Soul Silk.

He instantly realized that it was too late to break free of the silk threads, so he immediately raised his free left hand and slashed it in front of him!
"Domain of the Realm: Severing the Void!"

A transparent barrier, as thin as a cicada's wing yet seemingly separating reality from illusion, appeared instantly in front of Him!

laugh--!
Su Xiao's blade pierced the barrier fiercely, without a deafening roar, only the suffocating sound of energy annihilation.

The cyan blade light rubbed violently against the spatial barrier, causing the barrier to fluctuate violently and develop fine cracks, but it was ultimately not completely penetrated.

Su Xiao's deadly attack was blocked, and the huge recoil caused his hand to split open, with blood flowing down the hilt of his sword.

boom!
Centered on Korst, a visible purplish-black energy shockwave suddenly erupted, its destructive power tearing apart the ground within a radius of tens of meters.

Su Xiao, who was closest to the impact, was the first to be hit. He was violently thrown back by the terrifying force, like a kite with a broken string.

"Cough!" Su Xiaoren coughed up another mouthful of blood in mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground.

He forced himself to sit up, using the Dragon Slayer Sword as a support, but his breathing was noticeably heavier.

"Healing."

The healing light fell on Su Xiao's body, and the wounds stopped bleeding and closed up at a speed visible to the naked eye. His internal organs, which had been injured by the shock, were also gradually recovering.

After feeling the stinging pain in his body disappear, Su Xiao stood up from the ground.

"Looks like... I need to get serious."

Su Xiao slowly straightened up, and the fighting spirit in his eyes did not diminish due to his injury; on the contrary, it became even more intense.

He ran his left hand across the blade of the Dragon Slayer Sword, blood staining the edge. The energy of the Azure Steel Shadow mingled with the blood, and a layer of dark red flames ignited on the blade.

Blade Blade·Blood Blade.

The air seemed to be distorted by the high temperature. Su Xiao took a step forward, and the ground beneath his feet cracked open. He turned into a red afterimage and rushed towards Korst again.

This time, Su Xiao's blade strike was no longer the previous rapid assassination, but rather carried an overbearing and tragic force that burned everything, directly cleaving Karst's head.

Upon seeing this, the violent purplish-black energy exploded, and the dark soul threads wrapped around the karst's massive body snapped off inch by inch, turning into scattered light fragments.

boom! boom! boom!
Lin Yi grunted, and the silk threads he was controlling with his fingertips instantly lost their target. The enormous backlash made his face turn even paler.

All restraints are gone!

Karst's body trembled, and his range of movement was no longer restricted in the slightest. A terrifying sense of power spread out as if it were a tangible thing.

Faced with Su Xiao's attack, a trace of undeniable solemnity finally flashed across Karst's eyes, which usually looked down upon all living beings.

Divine Technique: Thousand Realms Blade - Godfall!
His right arm, which was holding the knife, suddenly blurred, and a huge blade danced in front of him, forming an impenetrable black curtain of light.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
A dense, rain-like clashing of metal resounded!
Su Xiao's figure transformed into several afterimages, moving, thrusting, and slashing at high speed around the karst, each collision exploding into tiny arcs of electricity and spatial ripples.

Karst's blades precisely parried every tricky attack from Su Xiao, and the altar beneath his feet shattered like fragile glass under the aftershocks of the collision of their terrifying powers.

"Mortal techniques have their limits!" Karst sneered, seizing a tiny opening when Su Xiao's old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet been generated. The Empty Blade suddenly switched from defense to offense, and a layer of distorted space fluctuations swirled around the blade—Empty Blade: No Bounds!
The blade seemed to ignore the distance, instantly crossing several meters and piercing straight for Su Xiao's throat with a sharp whistling sound that cut through space!
"Hercules".

Several layers of Hercules shields appeared near Su Xiao's neck. Faced with the empty blade containing the power to cut through space, these Hercules shields shattered like fragile glass.

But this insignificant obstacle had bought Su Xiao time to react.

At the critical moment, his muscles unleashed an astonishingly coordinated force, and his upper body snapped back as if broken.

laugh--!
The deadly black blade narrowly grazed Su Xiao's nose, the sharp wind from its edge even leaving a shallow bloodstain on his face.

The attack missed, and the blade's momentum shifted from a thrust to a slash, the dark blade drawing a deadly arc, slicing straight at Su Xiao's exposed chest and abdomen as he leaned back.

Su Xiao wanted to retaliate immediately, but his unbalanced and backward-leaning posture made it impossible for him to exert any force.

Just as Su Xiao was about to be disemboweled, a pulling force suddenly appeared on Su Xiao's arm.

Several transparent threads wrapped around Su Xiao's arm and tightened rapidly, carrying Su Xiao's body back towards Lin Yi.

Karst's swift, deadly strike grazed Su Xiao's boot, the dark blade almost touching the sole, the sharp aura cutting a deep, bottomless crack in the ground beneath his feet!

Using the pulling force, Su Xiao forcibly twisted her waist in mid-air.

With a flick of the blade, the Dark Soul Silk vanished.

Taking advantage of the downward momentum, the dark red blood flames on the Dragon Slayer Blade not only did not extinguish, but instead surged up as if it had been doused with boiling oil.

Countless streaks of blood-red azure blade light intertwined to form a net, instantly engulfing Krust.

The blade clashed against the white bone armor on Krist's body, producing a dense, rain-like clanging sound.

Although most of the attacks were deflected by the white bone armor on Korst's body, Su Xiao's blades were too fast and too dense, and the Azure Steel Shadow energy was extremely corrosive, still leaving wounds of varying depths on Korst's body.

Flash of Light - Crescent Moon!

The spatial ripples spread silently through the air, and the karst's massive body vanished like a reflection in water.

Su Xiao's slashing net only caught a fading afterimage, as Roster used "Void Flash - Crescent Moon" to instantly escape his attack range.

That was not a simple burst of speed, but a short-distance jump involving the spatial level, which occurred almost without warning.

scoff!

A jet-black blade of light, like the fangs of a venomous snake emerging from a rift in the void, appeared behind Lin Yi without warning.

Before the blade even arrived, the chilling killing intent had already frozen Lin Yi's spine!
"Holy Nova!"

The moment he sensed the killing intent, several black rings emerged from Lin Yi's body and spread outwards. Karst's figure suddenly appeared only half a meter away from Lin Yi's neck.

The jet-black longsword had already swung halfway through its strike, the blade even slicing through the skin on the back of Lin Yi's neck, drawing out a thin line of blood—if he had been a fraction of a second slower, he would have been decapitated.

Although the Holy Nova failed to repel Karst, the burst of dark energy caused Him to pause slightly. In that critical moment, Lin Yi did not choose to turn around to block—that would be too slow and certain death.

He leaned forward abruptly, and at the same time, his left heel slammed into the ground like a battle axe!
boom!
The ground exploded, and debris flew everywhere.

The violent reaction force propelled Lin Yi's body, making him shoot forward at near-maximum speed like a cannonball. The blade grazed the back of his neck, and the cold edge even cut off a few strands of his flying hair.

The dark blade failed to sever Lin Yi's neck, but instead slashed across his back at the shoulder blade, instantly creating a terrifying, deep wound that exposed the bone!
The intense pain caused Lin Yi to groan, his forward momentum faltering as he nearly fell to the ground.

Blood gushed out of the huge wound on his back like a fountain, instantly staining half of his body red.

If he hadn't forcibly twisted his spine in a near-self-destructive manner at the last moment, shifting his vital organs by several inches, he would have already been split in two.

But when life and death are at stake, there is no time to catch one's breath.
Before Lin Yi could heal himself, Karst's blade flashed and struck like a shadow.

The metallic blast that pierced eardrums sounded as urgent as a death knell.

Despite the excruciating pain in his back and the dizziness from blood loss, Lin Yi, relying on his fighting instincts, managed to flip the Black and White Rose behind his back while his body was lunging forward and his center of gravity was off balance.

A terrifying force surged wildly through the sword into Lin Yi's arms. Lin Yi felt a sudden sweetness in his throat, as if he had been struck by a giant hammer. A mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out and splashed onto the cracked ground in front of him.

Like a kite with a broken string, he was blasted away by this immense force and crashed hard into a huge altar pillar in the distance!
Boom!

The stone pillar trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks spread out instantly.

Lin Yi's body slid down softly, leaving a shocking trail of blood on the mottled stone pillar.

The gruesome wound on his back was torn open again by the violent impact, and blood gushed out like a burst dam, instantly forming a pool of blood beneath him.

Although Lin Yi was in a very bad state at the moment, he knew that this amount of time was enough.

Su Xiao made a move!

He didn't go to see Lin Yi, nor did he try to help him—that would only hasten Karst's next blow to Lin Yi.

Om-!
The dark red "blood blade" flames on the Dragon Slayer Blade suddenly extinguished, and all the violent energy condensed in an instant, ultimately transforming into a single, extremely sharp line of light on the blade.

Blade Path - Annihilation!

Su Xiao's figure disappeared, leaving only a perfectly condensed slash mark in his place.

Without a piercing whistle or an explosion of energy, this strike transcended the limitations of sound and light.

Karst tried to dodge, but it was too late.

laugh--!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a soft sound, like a hot knife slicing through solidified grease, or the crisp sound of withered leaves being torn apart by a gentle breeze.

The karst's massive body suddenly stiffened.

A thin red mark, as fine as a hair, appeared on the hard white bone armor on His chest.

Immediately afterwards, centered on this red mark, the karst's massive body slowly slid down.

The massive karst landscape was smoothly bisected, the cut as smooth as a mirror, revealing even the internal bone structure.

The two halves of the body crashed heavily onto the cracked altar floor with a dull thud, raising a cloud of dust.

Su Xiao knelt on one knee, the Dragon Slayer Blade deeply embedded in the ground, its blade trembling slightly from the overload.

An unprecedented sense of emptiness swept through his body like a polar cold wave, and Su Xiao felt every muscle in his body spasming.

That move, "Annihilation," compressed every bit of Azure Steel Shadow power within his body to its limit.

At this moment, Su Xiao's body was like a dried-up riverbed, and a dull, tearing pain came from the depths of his soul.

He was breathing heavily, each breath aggravating his injuries, and his vision blurred.

"Very good, Destroyer of Laws, Abyss Healer, you have gained my approval. If you wish, you are welcome to visit Meteorite Star."

Karst's upper body floated up and began to scatter like fragments.

Two antique-style badges flew out from the gradually dissipating light and floated in front of Lin Yi and Su Xiao.

Karst's words seemed to still echo within the altar, but His body had completely turned into specks of light and dust, vanishing silently, leaving only a mess and a strong smell of blood, as well as that enormous pillar of flesh and blood that had become completely silent and devoid of any vitality.

Lin Yi's tense nerves only relaxed slightly when the notification sound of the Paradise of Reincarnation rang in his ears.

After forcing himself to stand up, Lin Yi cast several healing spells on himself and Su Xiao.

As the healing spell began to take effect, the two people's fluctuating auras gradually stabilized.

"Huff..." After doing all this, Lin Yi could no longer hold on. He slid down to the ground, leaning against the cold stone pillar, panting heavily, and looked at Su Xiao, who was in a similarly miserable state but had recovered somewhat.

"Even on his deathbed, he left behind an 'invitation'... A planet of destruction? That's no pleasant place."

Su Xiao did not respond, but silently took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from her storage space, stiffly flicked one out, and the cigarette flew in an arc towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi raised his hand to catch it, his knuckles trembling slightly from the loss of strength.

He twirled the cigarette holder with his slightly trembling fingers, and orange sparks shone in the dim altar.

He took a deep breath, the pungent smoke burning his injured lungs, the stinging pain carrying a strange soothing quality that dispelled some of the suffocating feeling of impending death.

The grayish-white smoke slowly billowed out, mingling with the pervasive stench of blood in the air, lingering there.

"Go and destroy that pillar for me."

Following Lin Yi's hoarse command, several soldiers from the Shadow Legion emerged from the shadows and silently walked toward the withered pillar of flesh.

With a loud bang, the pillar collapsed.

The sky above the planet Thornworm was like a mirror whose stains had been wiped away; the distorted dark red gradually faded, restoring its original clarity. (End of Chapter)
