Chapter 475: Body!

Chapter 483 The True Form of the Lord of Nothingness
"This...this is impossible!" The Void Shadows roared silently, unable to comprehend why their power had been reversed and transformed into "life force".

Xu Qinghan ignored the roar of the Void Shadow and suddenly activated the Golden-Black Tai Chi Vortex, completely disintegrating the Void Shadow.

When all was calm, the ethereal shadow had completely vanished, leaving only a chaotic region woven from golden and black embers. At the center of this chaotic region, faint yet incredibly resilient fluctuations of "life force" slowly spread out.

Xu Qinghan felt the surging power within her body, and her primordial energy was greatly enhanced once again. She could sense that the power of the Void Shadow had been completely absorbed by her, becoming part of her primordial energy. Her abilities of "analysis" and "reconstruction" had also reached an unprecedented level. She could even reconstruct some simple matter from nothingness, although it was only a fleeting moment, it was enough to prove her ability to control nothingness.

She continued deeper, and finally the core area of ​​the Land of Nothingness came into view.

It was a scene beyond description. There was no light, no matter, only absolute darkness, as if it were the end of the universe, or perhaps its origin. In this absolute darkness, no law could sustain it, no concept could exist. Everything returned to "nothingness," to "annihilation."

Yet, within this ultimate "nothingness," one could faintly sense an unimaginable, ancient fluctuation. That fluctuation carried a primordial chaos, a stillness before the creation of the world, yet contained boundless vitality and destruction. It was unlike any other void force sensed before; it was purer, more ancient, like the "heartbeat" of the universe, but a reversed heartbeat, each beat accompanied by the universe's annihilation and return to nothingness.

"Is this... the true form of the Lord of Nothingness?" Xu Qinghan was shocked. She could feel that this fluctuation was the source of the Lord of Nothingness's power, and also the root cause of its continuous erosion of the universe and destruction of life over billions of years.

She could sense that the Lord of Nothingness was not a living being, but a concept, an ultimate "nothingness." It fed on the annihilation of the universe and took pleasure in the return of all things to nothingness. It attempted to transform the entire universe into eternal nothingness in order to achieve its understanding of "eternity."

A dazzling golden-black light suddenly erupted from the Eternal Mark between Xu Qinghan's brows. The light was no longer a simple rune, but transformed into an ancient and mysterious "Eternal Eye". Within that eye, golden-black chaotic light flowed, deep and mysterious, as if it could see through all things in the world and understand the origin of the universe.

She could sense that the power of the Lord of Nothingness was spreading throughout the universe in an unprecedented way. It was like a "black hole" in the universe, constantly devouring life, matter, and laws, attempting to turn everything into "nothingness."

"Lord of Nothingness...you will eventually face true eternity!" Xu Qinghan roared, her voice carrying an inexplicable majesty. She knew that the true final battle was about to begin.

Without the slightest hesitation, she abruptly activated the power of the primordial flame within her body, transforming into a towering, golden-black primordial flame war god. Her body was no longer flesh and blood, but a special existence existing between "being" and "non-being," a chaotic fusion of primordial flame and nothingness. In her eyes, golden-black chaotic light flowed, deep and mysterious.

She suddenly stretched out her hands, and the golden-black flames gathered in her palms, transforming into a golden-black Tai Chi diagram. In the Tai Chi diagram, one half was extreme black, and the other half was blazing gold. They intertwined and transformed with each other, endlessly regenerating, as if containing the mysteries of the universe, life and death, existence and non-existence, chaos and order, all contained within it.

"Passing on the torch of Tai Chi, reversing the universe!"

The golden-black Tai Chi diagram suddenly spun, transforming into a massive golden-black vortex that directly confronted the ultimate "nothingness" manifested by the Lord of Nothingness.

"Rumble--"

A deafening roar erupted in the void of origin, shattering the void completely and annihilating all laws. The golden-black tai chi vortex collided violently with the ultimate "nothingness," devouring and transforming each other.

The ultimate "nothingness" attempted to obliterate the golden-black Tai Chi vortex, reducing it to nothingness. However, the golden-black Tai Chi vortex was like a bottomless pit, not only devouring the ultimate "nothingness" but also decomposing and purifying it in the process, ultimately transforming it into the purest energy to nourish Xu Qinghan's flame.

Even more terrifying is that within the golden-black Tai Chi vortex, the golden portion representing "life force," after devouring the ultimate "nothingness," actually began to generate new "somethingness," new "life force." Countless faint yet incredibly resilient chains of law extended from the golden-black Tai Chi vortex, attempting to re-"bind" and redefine the ultimate "nothingness."

"You...you actually managed to transform my lord's power into life?!" The Lord of Nothingness's voice was filled with despair and fear, its consciousness trembling violently in the ultimate "nothingness." It could feel its origin being forcibly "reversed" by the Tai Chi Vortex of the Flame, transforming from "nothingness" into "something."

"Nothingness is not the end, vitality is eternal!" Xu Qinghan roared, and she suddenly activated the golden-black Tai Chi vortex, completely enveloping the ultimate "nothingness" transformed by the Lord of Nothingness.

The golden-black tai chi vortex spun wildly, constantly decomposing, purifying, and reconstructing the ultimate "nothingness." The consciousness of the Lord of Nothingness struggled and wailed within it, until finally, its voice grew weaker and weaker until it completely dissipated.

However, just as the consciousness of the Lord of Nothingness was about to completely dissipate, an even more ancient and profound wave of nothingness suddenly erupted from the deepest part of the Land of Nothingness's Origin. That wave surpassed the Lord of Nothingness itself, as if it were some kind of primordial "meaning of annihilation" that existed before the birth of the universe.

"You who ignited the flame... do you think that by obliterating my avatar, you can end everything?" A colder, more indifferent voice resounded directly in Xu Qinghan's soul. The voice was devoid of any emotion, yet it carried an unparalleled majesty, as if it were the manifestation of the "Tao," the origin of "nothingness."

Xu Qinghan was deeply shaken. She could sense that the source of this fluctuation was the true "Origin of Nothingness," the "Lord" worshipped by the Lord of Nothingness. This was not a living being, but a pure concept, the ultimate manifestation of "annihilation" and "return to nothingness" that existed since the beginning of the universe. In the ultimate nothingness, a blurry outline slowly emerged. It had no form, no color, yet it seemed to contain all things in the world, and return all things to "nothingness." It was like a huge, invisible black hole, or the end of the universe, capable of devouring all existence and obliterating all laws.

"He who ignites the flame, the 'eternity' you seek is nothing but a fleeting illusion. The end of the universe is only annihilation, only return to nothingness. All existence will eventually decline and increase entropy. Only the ultimate 'nothingness' can be eternal!" That indifferent voice rang out again, carrying an irresistible pressure of the "Tao".

A hint of solemnity flashed in Xu Qinghan's eyes. She knew that this was her true opponent, the origin of "annihilation" and "return to nothingness" in the universe. The Lord of Nothingness was merely an "incarnation" of it, an "obsession" that carried out its "Dao".

"The flame is eternal, encompassing all things! Annihilation is not the end, but the beginning of new life! Existence and non-existence, birth and death, are two sides of the same coin, interdependent and mutually transformative!" Xu Qinghan roared, and the golden and black flames around her suddenly erupted, transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that shot straight toward the blurry outline of nothingness.

"Do you think you can reverse the Great Dao?" The indifferent voice carried a hint of disdain. The ethereal outline suddenly contracted, transforming into a point of ultimate "nothingness," and then suddenly erupted, transforming into a pitch-black torrent of nothingness that directly met Xu Qinghan's pillar of firelight.

"Rumble--"

A deafening roar erupted once more. This time, the void completely collapsed, and the concepts of time and space lost their meaning. The golden-black pillar of firelight collided violently with the pitch-black torrent of nothingness, devouring and annihilating each other.

Xu Qinghan could feel an unimaginable force of annihilation eroding her embers, attempting to completely reduce her to nothingness. This force was purer and more primal than the power of the Lord of Nothingness, seemingly capable of directly obliterating the very origin of the universe.

However, there was no sign of retreat in her eyes. The eternal fire within her reached an unprecedented brilliance at this moment. She could feel that the light of the network of torches had become brighter than ever before. It was no longer a faint starlight, but a dazzling sea of ​​stars. It was no longer fragile, but full of resilience and vitality, and contained a sense of "eternity" that transcended everything.

"The flame burns eternally, hope never dies!" Xu Qinghan roared, and she suddenly activated the golden-black Tai Chi vortex, enveloping the void torrent.

The golden-black Tai Chi vortex spun wildly, constantly decomposing, purifying, and reconstructing the torrent of nothingness. The will of the origin of nothingness trembled violently within it, sensing that its power was being forcibly "reversed" by the vortex of the Tai Chi cauldron, transforming from "nothingness" into "somethingness."

"You...you actually managed to touch the origin and reverse my 'path'?" For the first time, a ripple of disbelief flickered in that indifferent voice. It could sense that Xu Qinghan's flame was not merely vitality, but encompassed annihilation, chaos, existence and non-existence—it was a true "eternity."

"The flame is eternal, encompassing all things, turning decay into wonder, chaos into order, and nothingness into life. It is the true core of the universe's great cycle!" Xu Qinghan murmured to herself. At this moment, her understanding of the flame reached a whole new level.

She abruptly activated the golden-black Tai Chi vortex, completely decomposing and purifying the primordial torrent, ultimately transforming it into the purest energy to nourish her flame.

The golden-black tai chi vortex spun wildly, completely decomposing and purifying the primordial torrent that was powerful enough to obliterate the universe, ultimately transforming it into the purest energy to nourish Xu Qinghan's inner flame. At this moment, the inner flame within her seemed to devour an entire desolate universe, each ray of light containing the power to create the world, each pulse resonating with the deepest pulse of the universe.

Deep within her soul, the eternal mark solidified, no longer a simple rune, but transformed into a magnificent arena spanning between nothingness and life. Within this arena, golden and black flames roared, reflecting the rise and fall of countless eras, the existence and non-existence of all things. Her understanding of "eternity" transcended the realm achievable by any living being; it was a profound comprehension of the great cycle of the universe, a deep insight into the supreme law that "birth" and "death" are not opposites, but rather interdependent and mutually transformative.

However, she was not complacent. For in that instant of the flame being fed back, she sensed an even more vast, ancient, and indescribable will of annihilation. That will did not come from the Lord of Nothingness, but from that vague outline of nothingness, the being whom the Lord of Nothingness revered as "my lord."

"You who ignited the flame... do you think that by obliterating my avatar, you can end everything?"

The voice rang out again, and this time, it was no longer merely indifferent, but carried a profound, transcendent sound that resonated deep within Xu Qinghan's soul. It contained no anger, no fear, only an ultimate interpretation of "nothingness," a fundamental negation of "existence."

In the ultimate void, the blurred outline begins to solidify, or rather, it doesn't solidify, but rather elevates its own presence infinitely in a way that transcends matter and energy. It is no longer simply "nothingness," but the ultimate manifestation of "nothingness," the primordial stillness before the birth of the universe, before all concepts were formed, the ultimate form in which all things finally return to nothingness.

It has no facial features, no limbs, and not even a fixed shape. It is a deep, dark expanse that swallows all light, yet it seems to contain all the colors of the universe, only these colors have been erased and returned to silence. It is like a boundless black hole, or the ultimate eye of the universe, indifferently overlooking everything.

"I am the entropy of the universe, the end of all things. All life is but a fleeting illusion; all glory will eventually return to dust. Only 'nothingness' can be eternal, and can escape the cycle of decay and corruption!" The ancient being emitted a grand wave of will, each word like a manifestation of the laws of the universe, attempting to directly erase the concept of "existence" from Xu Qinghan's soul.

The golden-black flame barrier surrounding Xu Qinghan trembled violently. She could feel that the power of this will had surpassed the dimensions she could comprehend. It was not attacking her physical body, but directly attacking her "existence," attacking the concepts of "vitality" and "hope" that she represented.

“True eternity is not death! Entropy increase and decay are part of the universe’s cycle, not the end! Existence and non-existence, birth and death, are the two poles of the universe. Only by transforming into each other can life continue!” Xu Qinghan let out a low roar. Although her voice was weak in the endless void, it carried a firmness that shook the very source.
