Chapter 302 Cultivation World 91
The destructive black rays silently tore through the chaos!
It transcended the speed of physics and the workings of thought. Before Si Lingle's pupils could fully capture its trajectory, that pitch-black, all-consuming light of death had almost touched her brow!
The chilling, annihilating will, carrying the decaying power of all things, precisely locked onto that tiny, newly awakened, stubbornly flickering starlight.

This is no longer a test; it is a decisive blow from the mastermind behind the scenes, a move designed to eliminate the biggest variable in one fell swoop! It treats the battlefield as a tool, temporarily transforming its powerful harvesting energy into the final chapter of annihilating individuals.

Time seemed to freeze.

Death has never been so clear.

The moment Si Lingle sensed this extreme threat, the annihilation star vortex around her body spun wildly, instinctively trying to collapse all her power into her brow for ultimate defense!

But the will and power contained in this ray were too pure, too concentrated, and too targeted!
The starlight was as faint as dust, and even with the power of annihilation, it was impossible to withstand the terrifying black light that was comparable to the blow of a god-king in such a hurry!
puff--

A faint, almost inaudible sound of annihilation rang out.

However, the anticipated scene of starlight fading and souls scattering did not occur.

Just as the destructive ray, imbued with a dark torrent, was about to completely engulf that faint glimmer of light—

hum!
The faint starlight clinging to the outside of the silent star vortex suddenly burst forth with an incredible brilliance far beyond what its tiny size could contain!
It wasn't a blinding explosion, but rather a profound, vast, primordial power that seemed to carry the will of the ancient stars, suddenly awakening!
A tiny, palm-sized astrolabe, composed of pure starlight and so complex and mysterious that it would dazzle even the gods, spontaneously condensed in front of Si Lingle's brow in an instant!
Unlike the annihilating gray mist that melts everything into nothingness, it possesses an absolute, protective "boundary-setting" power, and it violently collides with that black ray that destroys everything!

laugh--!
Like boiling oil poured onto snow, or darkness encountering the eternal starlight!
The black light, which contained terrifying reaping power and was powerful enough to pierce through the divine fortress, twisted violently, boiled, and emitted a hissing sound as it was forcibly suppressed and decomposed the moment it came into contact with the star chart!

The decaying, withered power frantically eroded the illusory star chart, which, driven by Si Lingle's own annihilating power, also spun rapidly, consumed, and resisted!
This is not a direct clash of forces, but more like a collision and struggle between two "ending" laws at a higher level!

Nirvana returns to nothingness.

Starlight steadfastly maintains its existence.

The dark rays, in their decay and devouring, attempted to forcibly annihilate the very foundation of the other's existence!

A stalemate! An extreme stalemate in an instant!
The destructive black light and the starlight disc intertwined, annihilated, and eroded each other within a mere fraction of an inch of Si Lingle's brow.

The illusory image of the star chart trembled violently, its radiance dimming at a visible speed, and countless mysterious runes that made it up shattered and scattered in the annihilation.

The black light was also being consumed rapidly, but the energy it had condensed and the withered will it possessed were far too immense and powerful!

"Ugh!" Si Lingle felt as if her soul was being roasted in a furnace of two opposing divine fires.

The power of annihilation surged into the starlight in an attempt to help her hold on, but the annihilation impact from the black light was like countless cold, bone-corroding needles, piercing through her body and striking directly at the source of her true spirit!
The immense pain and the sense of impending destruction pushed her potential to an unprecedented peak!
The desolate starry sea in Si Lingle's purple eyes boiled over! Instead of retreating under the impact, she made a decision that astonished even the mastermind behind the scenes, at the critical moment when the starlight disk had bought her a life-or-death situation!

"Annihilation - Starfire!"

A cold and resolute incantation, originating from the depths of her soul, exploded in her mind!

She completely abandoned direct defense of the star chart area between her eyebrows, allowing the power of annihilation and the will of starlight to instinctively engage in a stalemate and depletion with the black light.

She suddenly pulled the extreme annihilation energy she had gathered around her body, which she had prepared to use against the dark abyss itself—that annihilation energy as thin as a cicada's wing and barely reaching its limit—intowards, and then, like a supernova explosion, poured it back into her own body and the origin of her soul!
boom--! ! !
This is not an outward-facing storm of destruction, but a silent burning that uses itself as fuel!
Si Lingle's figure instantly became extremely illusory and transparent, as if she were about to return to the void of origin in the next moment. But the annihilating origin that was forcibly ignited transformed into an unimaginable, pure and extreme power of "erasure"!
This is not defense! This is a sacrifice of one's own existence to gain an instantaneous burst of ultimate speed and destructive power!
Her body, which was already tearing through chaos at an alarming speed, became completely blurred at this moment, transforming into a wisp of annihilating light that transcended the concept of space and ignored all constraints!
The destructive black light locked onto the center of the brow, in the extremely brief moment of resistance by the starlight disc, had its absolute "directionality" slightly altered and its trajectory diminished. It was this almost negligible opportunity that Si Lingle, in her state of annihilation and incineration, firmly grasped with her near-Dao-level perception!

call out!
The annihilating light, at an incredible angle and transcending all physical laws, like a "teleportation" that transcends time, barely grazed the edge of that terrifying black ray that was fiercely fighting against starlight in a fraction of a second before it!
Rays composed purely of destructive energy grazed her hair and arms. Wherever they passed, the edges of her extremely ethereal body, which seemed to be integrated with annihilation itself, were instantly "burned" and annihilated, leaving behind a strangely smooth spatial cross-section! Intense pain swept over her soul, but it was not a direct hit.

She succeeded!

At the cost of self-inflicted damage, or even the potential destruction of its foundation, it narrowly escaped this catastrophic disaster in the face of the impossible!

And the moment she broke free from the black light's lock and her body, which was extremely unstable due to the burning of annihilation and the scratches from the black light, began to reform, her counterattack began!

Her forward momentum did not diminish at all; on the contrary, due to her state of being consumed by annihilation, her speed increased even further! Ignoring the excruciating pain and illusion of her own body, her deep purple eyes burned with a cold, resolute rage capable of freezing everything!
Her goal has never changed—the dark abyss that continues to devour the light!
After losing the support of Si Lingle's main force of annihilation, the starlight between her brows finally gave way to the illusory star chart, shattering and disappearing completely under the final impact of the black light.

The faint starlight flickered with a mournful cry, then suddenly dimmed as if it might be extinguished at any moment, retreating deep into the silent vortex of stars to lie dormant.

After losing the obstruction of starlight and its primary target, the destructive black light silently pierced through the afterimage left by Si Lingle and the countless chaotic energies and monsters behind it, ultimately triggering an annihilating energy storm in an unknown distance.

But at this moment, no one cares about its fate.

Because Si Lingyue, in her state of ethereal light, had already rushed to the edge of the dark abyss!

Her right hand suddenly spread its five fingers, the fingertips swirling with the compressed, deathly light of gray-white, which was obtained by burning her own essence. It was like five death daggers tearing through the plane, fiercely stabbing towards the edge of the ever-expanding hole!

The target was that three-dimensional magic array, composed of viscous, inky energy and black runes, which had just been transformed by that terrifying ray!

"Break it for me!!!"

Five fingers, like hooks, carrying a pale gray, annihilating sharpness that had burned away the source, pierced fiercely into that viscous, writhing dark magic circle that resembled a living abyss!

Sizzle—!!!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a tooth-grinding, ear-piercing noise, like the oldest paper being forcibly torn apart by an invisible force! The viscous, ink-like dark energy emitted a violent "boiling" wail the moment it came into contact with the gray light at Si Lingle's fingertips.

The black runes that formed the core of the magic circle flickered, twisted, and tried to recombine, but in the face of that pure "erasure" power, they melted and disintegrated as quickly as ice cubes thrown into boiling water!
"Ughh ...
The dark abyss trembled violently! The all-consuming vortex seemed to have been struck by a scorching hot iron, its expansion abruptly halted! The mastermind behind the scenes, with a cold and genuinely furious intent, slammed into Si Lingle's sea of ​​consciousness like an invisible hammer: "Insects! How dare you harm the foundation of my 'Echoes of the End'?!"

Boom!

It wasn't a physical tremor, but a backlash from the level of laws! The moment the entire dark magic circle was torn apart, it erupted with a reverse, devouring power far exceeding what it had before! It wasn't a physical attack, but a **denial of existence**! It was like a reverse black hole, trying to suck in Si Lingle, along with her arm that had been stabbed into it, and her burning source of annihilation, assimilating them and returning them to eternal nothingness!

The annihilating gray light between Si Lingle's fingers was instantly suppressed and worn away by this reverse force of the end.

She felt her arm, which had pierced the magic circle, along with the divine sense attached to it, being devoured by countless cold thoughts filled with the aura of decay and oblivion!
It felt as if millions of icy maggots had burrowed into her marrow and the depths of her soul! The chill that threatened to erase her "existence" from its very core was more direct and terrifying than the previous destructive black light!
puff!puff!puff!
Si Lingle's right arm began to disintegrate and turn gray from the fingertips at a speed visible to the naked eye! Even her ethereal body in Starburn state could not completely resist this pollution originating from the very source of the laws!
Just at that critical moment, when the backlash was about to engulf the arm and spread throughout the body—

"Om-!"

The faint starlight that had been dormant deep within her brow and mind, almost extinguished, suddenly shone brightly again! This time, instead of forming a phantom star chart, countless tiny, dust-like, brilliant stardusts emanated from the deepest part of the dormant star vortex, flowing along the almost boiling primordial energy within her body and instantly reaching her right arm, which was being eroded and disintegrated!
Where stardust passed, the icy, bone-chilling erosion of the Ruins was strangely "frozen" for a moment! It wasn't dispelled, but rather like injecting some kind of supportive "anchor" or "structure" into a collapsing cliff, forcibly binding and stabilizing the disintegrating entity for a tiny instant!

This is not supported by sufficient power, but by a fragment of an instinctive rule originating from the ancient stars, protecting the "essential existence"!

--Chance!
Si Lingle's deep purple eyes were filled with intense pain and a storm of gray power, but in that fraction of a millisecond of "stability" bought by the fragments of starlight, her fighting instincts from the depths of her soul and her cruel understanding of the Path of Annihilation led her to make an extremely crazy decision!
Instead of trying to pull her arm back, she poured all her remaining strength into it!
"Annihilation...collapse...backflow!!"

She used her right arm, the limb that was being devoured and corroded by the dark magic circle, along with the burned-out source of annihilation and the faint starlight fragments attached to it, as the final ramming hammer that crashed into the finish line!
She wasn't trying to destroy the rune structure of the magic circle; rather, she was guiding the ultimate direction of her own annihilation power, going against that all-consuming final power, and pouring it fiercely into the magic circle, into the core "source" that connected to the mastermind behind the scenes!

boom--! ! !
An indescribable, muffled, deafening roar of internal collapse!

The viscous, inky energy of the dark magic circle suddenly collapsed inward! The black runes that made up the magic circle shattered and vanished instantly! A tiny "point," seemingly leading straight to the abyss, was forcibly blasted open at the center of the magic circle!

Like pouring water into a vortex that is drawing water in, Si Lingle's destructive storm, which contained the will to destroy itself and protect the starlight, flowed upstream along the backlash channel of this law!

An indescribable surge of grayish-white light mixed with fragments of broken stardust violently rushed into that unknown source of darkness!
"Roar—!!" A terrifying roar, inhuman and seemingly a combination of the agonizing cries of billions of living beings and the sound of spacetime shattering, erupted for the first time directly from the core depths of that dark abyss! The sound was filled with pure pain and a hint of unbelievable rage!
This wisp of "Destroying Starlight Poison" flowing upwards, though insufficient to severely damage its body, was like a tiny poisonous needle piercing the giant beast's most sensitive nerve! It was truly stung!
Wow——!
The dark abyss trembled violently, its expansion abruptly halted, and even fine cracks began to appear at its edges! For the first time, the process of devouring the celestial canopy was interrupted!
-
"Pfft!" Si Lingle's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string. The annihilating light surrounding her body completely disappeared, and the ethereal state brought by the sacrifice receded like the tide, revealing a body covered with terrifying gray-white cracks, like glass that could shatter at any moment.

Her right arm had vanished from the shoulder down; there was no blood at the cut, only a hazy, gray mass of fine dust constantly emanating from it.

The starlight between his brows had dimmed to the point of being almost invisible, and the last remaining glimmer had completely disappeared into the depths of the star vortex, as if he had fallen into a long and deep sleep.

She crashed heavily onto a pile of debris formed from chaotic energy, her deep purple eyes opening and closing weakly, her vision beginning to blur. The excruciating pain in her body, the burning sensation in her soul, and the feeling of her existence crumbling intertwined, almost threatening to devour her.

But a cold, strained smile managed to tug at the corners of her lips—she had done it! She had shaken the invincible throat of the End! Even at the cost of breaking her own wings!
At the center of the dark abyss, the tiny "pinhole" blasted out by the reverse flow of annihilation was slowly healing, and the surrounding cracks were being repaired by the surging viscous dark energy. But the echo of that roar still reverberated in the chaos.

“Interesting…” A clearer and colder thought than before emanated from the depths of the dark abyss. This time, there was no fury at being offended by ants, but instead a chilling interest, as if discovering a new toy.

"Anchored by 'Original Fragments,' the chaos and annihilation wound my 'Echo'... Variables... should be harvested with even more thorough 'nothingness' to mark the final chapter of this 'variable'!"

The broken dark magic circle lit up again. This time, it was no longer a single ray, but countless tiny yet equally deadly black dots began to gather along the entire edge of the dark abyss!

A destructive wave, heavier than before and carrying the meaning of "clearing out," began to gather!
The mastermind behind the scenes was clearly enraged and attracted by the starlight fragments; it wanted to completely eliminate this variable!
On the chaotic battlefield, the remaining monsters, driven by an even stronger dark will, became more ferocious and fearless, as if they were offering their final sacrifice to the wrath of the ruler.

Si Lingle watched as the deathly light rekindled across the sky, her consciousness struggling between succumbing to despair and clinging to life. With her remaining left hand, she struggled to form a broken hand seal, attempting to mobilize the destructive power within her body, riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse, only to find it as heavy as a rock.

Could it be... that this is the limit?
Just as she was on the verge of despair, an extremely faint yet incredibly clear star map projection suddenly flashed across her shattered sea of ​​consciousness!

The trajectory of that star chart was strikingly similar to the core structure of the previously automatically protecting star chart phantom!

It doesn't point to the battlefield, but rather... to a forgotten slumbering point known as the 'Starfall Era' in the deepest depths of this chaotic void!

A tiny spark, almost extinguished, stubbornly reignited in her heart.
-
The curtain of death has fallen!
At the edge of the dark abyss, the countless deadly black dots that had coalesced suddenly lit up to saturation!
Like a million deadly black pupils opening simultaneously, they locked onto the figure atop the ruins, like shattered glass. The air (or rather, chaos itself) was compressed and solidified, groaning under its own weight.

The will to "clear the field" was cold and unquestionable, determined to completely erase this obstructive presence, along with this chaotic battlefield, from the canvas of "existence"!
"In the end... it still is..." Si Lingle's consciousness struggled and tumbled in the ocean of excruciating pain, like a candle flame about to be extinguished.

The hand seals he attempted to form were crushed by an invisible force. The remaining annihilating power within his body was like a frozen, dormant volcano, unable to ignite even a spark. His deep purple eyes reflected the deadly glimmer of light filling the sky, and the edges of his vision began to be swallowed by the gray-white void.

The thought of giving up is like a whisper from the abyss, tempting one to slumber in pain.

hum-

Just as her consciousness was about to be completely overwhelmed, the fleeting star map projection in her sea of ​​consciousness, like a piece of driftwood that a drowning person had hit, was fiercely grasped by her last remaining survival instinct!
That trajectory! That core structure! It shares the same origin as the power that protected her before the protective star chart shattered!
A name exploded in her chaotic thoughts: 'Starfall Era' Sleep Point!

This is not a clear map, but more like a beacon triggered by despair, a coordinate pointing to the depths of obliterated history! A forbidden land that even the darkest hand calls "the forgotten"!

"boom--!"

No time!
At the edge of the dark abyss, billions of black dots erupted in an instant!
It was no longer a single destructive ray, but transformed into a dark stardust storm sweeping across the universe!

Every grain of sand, so fine it's almost invisible, embodies the pure rules of the end, possessing the terrifying power to annihilate matter, tear apart souls, and pollute existence!
They were not randomly scattered, but rather, as if they possessed a life of their own, they gathered into thousands upon thousands of dark torrents, intertwined and entwined with the "chains" of the laws of the end, precisely and comprehensively covering Si Lingle!

Space is being "devoured," and time itself seems to be sluggish along the path of this torrent! This is an inescapable, all-consuming rain of doom!

Si Lingle's pupils, reflected in the destructive torrent, shrank to points of pure despair. Her sense of existence was fading at an unprecedented rate, and gray-white cracks rapidly spread throughout her body. She saw death approaching and felt the piercing chill of those billions of "Fangs of the End."

But! Just as she lay dying deep within her sea of ​​consciousness, that last spark of hope suddenly surged due to the emergence of the "Starfall Era" beacon! It wasn't an explosion of power, but the instantaneous ignition of her will to survive! It was a final act of defiance, a desperate attempt to seize that one and only slim chance!

"Ah—!!!" A muffled roar burst from her throat, exhausting all the power of her soul to drive her collapsing body!

It's not defense! It's not attack!
In the instant that the torrent of death was about to tear her into elementary particles, she used her only remaining left hand to fiercely clutch the dim and lifeless star vortex mark on her heart—as if she wanted to rip her heart out!
I will offer myself as a sacrifice! I will offer my shattered star soul as a tribute!

"Star—leads—back to—ruins!!!"

hum! ! !
Her body did not move an inch, yet an incredibly bizarre spatial distortion occurred in the same spot!
The gray cracks surrounding her suddenly lit up with a dim yet exceptionally dazzling light! She seemed to transform into a pebble thrown into water, detonating the faint "Starfall Era" beacon on the spot!
Space is no longer a uniform medium, but more like a taut membrane.

Si Lingle's "detonation" created an extremely small yet bottomless spacetime "funnel." At the end of the funnel lies the forgotten void that the beacon points to—the slumbering place of the Starfall Era!

call out--!
The massive torrent of darkness that poured down did not engulf her as expected. Instead, more than half of it seemed to be drawn by an invisible giant hand, surging madly toward the suddenly appearing time-space funnel!
Chaos! Disorder! Devouring!

The dark torrent collided with the time-space funnel in an instant, unleashing a piercing annihilation shriek!

The funnel trembled and twisted violently, almost bursting apart by the raging power of the end! The escaping energy turbulence, like an out-of-control razor, tore even more shattered cracks into the already broken space around it!
Si Lingle is at the center of this chaotic storm; she is both the trigger and the primary target!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!" Her body felt as if it were being repeatedly cut by billions of invisible blades, the gray-white cracks spreading and deepening rapidly, as if she would shatter into dust at any moment.

Her left arm, chest, abdomen, and even half of her cheek began to turn a strange grayish-white, and the very foundation of her existence was being frantically eroded by the power escaping from the funnel and the remaining sands of the end that had been caught in the attack!

But the last glimmer of purple light in her eyes was fixed on the core of the chaotic storm—the depths of the funnel!
Success! The direction has been forcibly shifted!

Although the funnel was teetering on the brink of collapse and she herself had suffered a fatal blow, the "misleading" she had created with all her might had led the destructive torrent that should have completely annihilated her into another unknown abyss!

Some of the dark torrents were swallowed up by the funnel and annihilated in the chaotic spatial folds, while others were annihilated and exploded prematurely due to mutual collisions!
For the first time, the consciousness deep within that dark abyss revealed a clear look of astonishment and rage! This ant! It actually manipulated the rules of space right under her nose! It lured away her fatal attack?!

"Cunning embers!" The chilling thought, like the sharp edge of judgment, swept across the chaos. "To drown in the graveyard of oblivion is your eternal destiny! My end will surely follow!"

The remaining magic circle at the edge of the dark abyss lit up again, preparing to repair itself, to refocus, and to completely eliminate this last discordant note!

But Si Lingle no longer had the strength to listen, nor the chance to see the pursuers behind her. The price she paid for detonating the beacon and distorting space had exceeded the limits of her broken body.

Click——!
A faint yet clear shattering sound rang out within her body, at the location of that desolate star vortex.

She could no longer feel pain. All her senses were fading away.

My vision was completely filled with gray and white. The last vestiges of my consciousness were mercilessly sucked into the wildly spinning, shattering time-space funnel, dragged along, and plunged towards the deeper, colder expanse at the end of the beacon, a place where even the starlight had long since faded—

The land of eternal slumber.

In the last second before she was swallowed by nothingness, she seemed to see the outline of an incomparably vast and desolate ruin, like the cold skeleton of a celestial beast, slowly emerging from the absolute darkness deep within the funnel.

The Starfall Era... So this is how one slumbers...?

Consciousness, trapped in an eternal, cold night.
