Chapter 467 Annihilation Fist!
475 Chapters: The Fist of Annihilation of the Flame!

The golden-black flames in her hands grew even more intense. She concentrated all her power in her fists and slammed them forward!
"The Fist of Annihilation of the Flame!"

Two intertwined gold and black fist shadows, carrying earth-shattering power, crashed down on the massive body of the Void Lord!
The Void Lord suddenly gathered the power of nothingness, forming a pitch-black void barrier in front of him in an attempt to block Xu Qinghan's attack.

"Rumble--"

The fist's shadow collided violently with the barrier, causing the void to tremble violently, and dark cracks spread throughout the Sea of ​​Annihilation. The Void Lord let out a muffled groan, its massive body shuddering violently, and the Void Barrier began to crumble inch by inch under Xu Qinghan's Flame Annihilation Fist!
"How is this possible?! How could you, a mere mortal, harm the body formed by the power of my lord?!" The Void Lord roared in disbelief, sensing the restraining force against the Void Origin contained within the Flame Annihilation Fist.

Xu Qinghan did not respond. She knew that this was the power brought about by the extinguishing of the flame, which gave her flame the attribute of "extinguishing" nothingness, and could disintegrate the power of nothingness from its source.

She pressed her advantage, her body transforming into a streak of golden and black light, instantly rushing to the Void Lord's front. The golden and black flames in her hand suddenly expanded, transforming into a golden and black fire blade, which fiercely slashed towards the Void Lord's chest!
"Break it for me!"

The Void Lord roared in fury, gathering all its void power in an attempt to withstand Xu Qinghan's attack. However, the golden-black fire blade, imbued with the primal power of extinguishing embers, sliced ​​through the Void Lord's defenses as easily as cutting tofu, striking it squarely in the chest!
"laugh--"

A piercing tearing sound rang out as the Void Lord's chest was cleaved open by the golden-black fire blade, and pitch-black void energy surged out of the crack like a tidal wave. Its body trembled violently, and its light quickly dimmed.

"You...you actually comprehended the Annihilation of the Flame..." The Void Lord let out a painful growl, its voice tinged with fear, "This is impossible! This is the forbidden realm of the Flame! A domain that even our Lord has not fully mastered!"

It suddenly unleashed all its power, attempting to shake Xu Qinghan away. However, Xu Qinghan clung to it like a leech, and the golden-black fire blade in her hand suddenly expanded, transforming into a golden-black vortex that began to frantically devour the void power within the Void Lord's body!
"what--"

The Void Lord let out a shrill scream. Its body began to crumble inch by inch as it was devoured by the golden-black vortex. Its enormous form rapidly shrank, and its light dimmed. It felt the loss of its essence and the threat of death.

"You igniter of the flame! How dare you! My lord will not let you go!" The Void Lord issued its final threat, its voice filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"The Lord of Nothingness? It will eventually face the judgment of the Flame!" Xu Qinghan's eyes flashed with a cold light. Without the slightest hesitation, she pushed the power of the golden-black vortex to its limit.

A moment later, the Void Lord's enormous body completely dissipated, turning into specks of nothingness that were completely swallowed by the golden-black vortex.

With the demise of the Void Lord, the entire Sea of ​​Annihilation trembled violently. Its core lost its ruler, the formation began to fall into disarray, and dark runes began to crack, with void rifts spreading, as if it were about to collapse completely at any moment.

Xu Qinghan felt the power of the primordial flame within her body receiving unprecedented nourishment. The extinguished star core fire seed and the void tomb fire seed pulsed between her brows, radiating a dazzling golden light. She had successfully transformed the power of the Void Lord into nourishment for the primordial flame, which deepened her understanding of "primordial flame transforming into the void."

However, she did not let her guard down. Although the Void Lord had been devoured by her, the collapse of the Sea of ​​Annihilation brought an even greater crisis.

"Rumble--"

The entire Sea of ​​Annihilation trembled violently. The power left behind by the Lord of Nothingness began to erupt chaotically after the demise of the Great Lord of Nothingness. Streams of pitch-black void torrents, like out-of-control behemoths, raged through the formation, devouring all matter and obliterating all laws.

Xu Qinghan felt terrifying torrents of nothingness rushing towards her. Although she could transform the power of nothingness, such a massive and chaotic force still posed a great threat to her.

"We must find the spark of life as soon as possible!" Xu Qinghan's heart sank. She knew that although she was responsible for the collapse of the Sea of ​​Annihilation, it had also put her in an even more dangerous situation.

She suddenly soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of golden-black light, heading straight for the core area of ​​the Sea of ​​Annihilation. She could sense the faint aura of the kinship emanating from there!

She traversed through chaotic torrents of nothingness, her figure moving like a ghost through the shattered void. Her body was impacted by the torrents of nothingness, and although the power of the Fire Transformation could transform it, it still caused her excruciating pain, and the golden-black light on her body flickered.

Finally, after paying a huge price, Xu Qinghan plunged into the deepest part of the Sea of ​​Annihilation.

She plunged into the deepest part of the Sea of ​​Annihilation.

This place was no longer the pitch-black space created by the Void Lord, but a more central and primordial region. Endless torrents of nothingness converged here, forming void storms that tore through the universe, each powerful enough to grind stars to dust. Yet, at the very heart of this destruction, Xu Qinghan sensed a faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation. This fluctuation, like a flickering candle in the wind, possessed an enduring resilience—the aura of a rekindled flame!

She braved the raging torrent of nothingness, each step forward incredibly difficult. A swirling vortex of golden-black embers formed around her, frantically devouring and transforming the onrushing power of nothingness, yet even so, her body felt as if it were being torn apart by a thousand knives, relentlessly assaulted by excruciating pain. Her soul trembled, but her will remained as firm as a rock. She knew this was the guidance of the embers, the hope for the eons of its enduring legacy.

Finally, she broke through the last layer of the void storm, and a clear view appeared before her.

It was a bizarre "Eye of Nothingness." It wasn't true emptiness, but a spherical space roughly a hundred miles in diameter, distorted by the power of ultimate nothingness. Inside, there was no light, no matter, only pure "nothingness." Yet, at the very center of this "nothingness," a faint, almost transparent flame floated.

The flame had no temperature, no light, not even a shape; it was like a reflection of nothingness, or perhaps the only "existence" within nothingness. It hovered silently, bound by countless fine, ethereal chains that writhed like living things, constantly eroding and extinguishing the faint flame. Xu Qinghan's heart skipped a beat. She could sense that this flame was the spark the Fire Network had guided her to find, but its form was unlike any fire she knew. It wasn't a blazing gold, nor a chaotic mix of gold and black; it was more like a "fire of annihilation," a "remnant of fire" utterly eroded by nothingness, yet stubbornly unyielding.

"This is... the spark of the extinct civilization?" Xu Qinghan murmured to herself. Her gaze pierced through the void and saw a faint golden light flickering deep within the flame. It was the source of the embers, almost extinguished by layers of void power.

She could sense that this spark contained an ultimate sense of "annihilation," resonating strangely with the annihilating power of the embers within her. It was not merely vitality, but rather the product of vitality struggling, transforming, and ultimately sublimating in annihilation. This was precisely what the old man meant by the unity of embers and nothingness, the balance between life and death.

However, approaching this spark was far more difficult than defeating the Void Lord. The entire "Eye of Nothingness" emanated a suffocating, annihilating pressure—a seal personally laid by the Void Lord, intended to completely obliterate this spark. Any matter, any energy, that stepped into this domain would be instantly decomposed and reduced to nothingness.

Xu Qinghan took a deep breath. She knew this was the true test of her power of annihilation. She closed her eyes, immersing all her mind in the golden-black flames within her. The Annihilation Star Core Fire Seed and the Void Tomb Fire Seed pulsed violently between her brows, resonating with the annihilation intent within this "Eye of Nothingness."

She no longer resisted the erosion of the void power, but actively "embraced" it and "understood" it. The golden-black flames within her body were no longer a simple barrier, but transformed into a huge golden-black vortex, which began to frantically devour the surrounding void power.

"The flame of life dissipates into nothingness, returning to the state of tranquility and oneness!"

Xu Qinghan let out a low roar, and her body began to undergo astonishing changes. The golden-black flames surrounding her were no longer solid, but became ethereal, drifting like mist. Her physical body, under the erosion of the power of nothingness, even began to become transparent, as if it would dissipate at any moment.

This is not death, but transformation!

She transformed her physical body and soul into vessels for the extinguishing flame, merging into this "Eye of Nothingness" in an unprecedented way. She was no longer a material being, but a special state between "being" and "non-being," a chaotic combination of flame and nothingness.

She slowly, step by step, walked towards the flame bound by chains of nothingness. With each step she took, the power of nothingness surrounding her was devoured and transformed by her golden-black vortex, becoming nourishment for her flame. Those chains of nothingness, which were originally enough to obliterate everything, now seemed to have encountered their natural enemy, crumbling inch by inch before the annihilating power of her flame, vanishing into nothingness.

"What...what kind of power is this?!"

In the distant depths of nothingness, a vague yet immense will trembled violently. It was a wisp of the Void Lord's consciousness, sensing the dramatic changes in the Sea of ​​Annihilation and the unsettling power within it. It had never imagined that the Ignitioner of the Flame could transform the power of nothingness into nourishment, and even merge with the very essence of nothingness through the "Flame Transforms into Nothingness" technique!
This violates the cosmic laws it governs; it is a desecration of "nothingness," a reversal of "annihilation"!

However, it was unable to spare any attention at the moment. The collapse of the Sea of ​​Annihilation was a foregone conclusion, and it could only watch helplessly as Xu Qinghan walked step by step toward the spark of fire that it had suppressed for countless eons.

Xu Qinghan finally arrived in front of the fire.

That faint, almost transparent flame became incredibly clear in her eyes. The golden specks within it suddenly lit up as they sensed the approach of Xu Qinghan's power of extinguishing the flame, as if an ancient will that had slumbered for billions of years had awakened at that moment.

"Ancient torchbearer...you have finally come..." A weary and weak voice resounded deep within Xu Qinghan's soul, a voice filled with endless weariness yet brimming with a yearning for hope.

Xu Qinghan stretched out her hand, which now became ethereal and transparent, with golden-black flames dancing in her palm, like the first ray of light at the beginning of chaos. She gently touched the flame.

"Om-"

An indescribable ancient message surged into Xu Qinghan's soul like a torrent. It was the memory of a vanished civilization, a tragic epic of how, billions of years ago, that brilliant civilization struggled, resisted, and ultimately chose to transform itself into fire under the erosion of the Lord of Nothingness, imprinting the essence of its civilization and its insight into nothingness into the flames.

She witnessed countless lives vanish into nothingness, stars fall in darkness, and the brilliance of civilization extinguished in despair. But she also saw how, in the deepest despair, those who ignited the flame sacrificed their lives to light the last glimmer of hope, turning annihilation into nourishment and death into new life.

This spark is not merely energy; it is a "flame of memory" of a civilization, a "flame of wisdom" sublimated in annihilation. It contains the deepest understanding of the origin of nothingness, and the ability to transform nothingness into "wisdom" and "information."

Xu Qinghan's body trembled violently, and her soul underwent an unprecedented sublimation at this moment. The golden-black flame within her body, after merging with this "flame of memory," became even more profound and mysterious. It was no longer merely a unity of life and death, but a unity of "being" and "non-being," "matter" and "information."

Between her brows, the mark of the ancient god's fire suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden-black light. The light was no longer a simple vortex, but transformed into an ancient and mysterious rune. The rune seemed to contain the mysteries of the universe, containing both life and death, both matter and nothingness.

"The flame is eternal... not simply immortal, but all-encompassing, turning decay into wonder..." Xu Qinghan murmured to herself, her understanding of the flame reaching a whole new level at this moment.

As the sparks merged, the core of the Sea of ​​Annihilation began to tremble violently, and the "Eye of Nothingness" began to collapse rapidly. The seal laid down by the Lord of Nothingness completely lost its effectiveness the moment the sparks were awakened.

"go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Qinghan knew that the Sea of ​​Annihilation was about to completely collapse, turning this place into a true void. She suddenly activated the power of the Flame within her body, transforming her into a golden-black stream of light, rushing straight towards the exit of the Sea of ​​Annihilation.
