Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

"Ok?"

Huang Quan's expression shifted slightly. The figure in her memory became clearer and clearer, then appeared in her eyes.

As the white light gathered, a human figure appeared before him.

As the light dimmed, the figure gradually revealed the details of its features. By the time Huang Quan could discern its identity, Lin Yuan was already standing there.

"It's you?"

Huang Quan's tone held a rare hint of surprise. She looked the other person up and down, seemingly lost in thought.

Lin Yuan ignored the other person's question. After arriving here, he first looked around.

The endless twilight rain falls softly, and the enormous black hole in front seems to be the final destination of everything.

Raindrops fell on Lin Yuan, but were evaporated into water vapor by the powerful outflowing energy. The water vapor surrounded him, casting a luminous outline around him.

As Lin Yuan's power expanded outwards, his expression began to turn serious.

For the first time, this was the first time that the power of the foundation had encountered significant obstacles and could not cover the entire area.

In fact, if it weren't for his extremely high level of power, he would have already been corrupted by the void and fallen into the River of Oblivion.

"You should have sensed it by now. This is a fleeting dream, one of the myriad manifestations of the Sleeping Aspect IX... the horizon of existence."

Huang Quan's voice caught Lin Yuan's attention.

"Your presence is the strongest and most unique I have ever seen. However, this is ultimately not a world for the living. Your ability to come here already proves your power, but I still have a piece of advice for you: leave as soon as possible."

The woman's voice was distant and indifferent, yet her words were entirely considerate of the other person.

"nothingness....."

Finally, Lin Yuan spoke. He looked at the other party and asked calmly, "You are... the envoy of the Void?"

"........"

Huang Quan lowered his eyes:

"The One who sleeps in the formless never glances at anyone. He is formless and shapeless, and has no will... Nothingness envelops everyone equally. It's just that some people go further in His shadow and become tainted with more 'nothingness'... That's all."

"So, having been tainted with so much 'nothingness,' what brings you to Pinocchio?"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, flashing with a sharp light.

"Are you trying to drag this dream into the abyss of nothingness?"

"..." Huang Quan was silent for a moment, but gave his answer in the blink of an eye.

"On the contrary, I am trying to prevent this dream from becoming a tragedy. Nothingness is the final destination of all those in the universe who cannot find meaning in their existence, and we are all fighting against its arrival."

"Is this your reason? Ha, Miss Huangquan, tainted with so much 'nothingness,' the path you have followed has become a myriad manifestations of nothingness."

Perhaps you can still maintain your individuality along this path. But you will have an immeasurable impact on everything around you.

Lin Yuan's eyes grew even brighter, and his voice became indifferent.

“I’m sorry, madam. I’ve said before that you and I are not enemies. But now, as the Protector of the Universe, I have to eliminate you here and now, for a being that could threaten all living beings in the universe.”

"You...you want to fight me here?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan suddenly let out a barely audible sigh.

She gazed at him, wanting to dissuade him. But when she looked into Lin Yuan's eyes, she knew. There are some people whose beliefs cannot be swayed by anyone.

With a slight lift of his right hand, Huang Quan gently grasped the hilt of the knife.

Red reappeared amidst the black and white, Lin Yuan's figure reflected in her blood-red eyes, and she spoke softly:

"As you wish, Your Excellency."

Chapter 311 Huang Quan vs. Lin Yuan

In the drizzling rain, a sudden burst of red lightning illuminated the black and white world, adding color to the otherwise dark and white landscape.

Huang Quan didn't say much. She gripped the scabbard tightly, and the blade emitted a low, resonant sound.

The next moment, the swordsman took a step forward, and the black waves beneath his feet silently split open, as if cut off by an invisible sharpness.

A flash of lightning caught Lin Yuan's eye, but Huang Quan's figure was even faster, already turning into a blur as he crossed in front of him.

"Aren't you going to draw your sword? You might not have another chance later," Lin Yuan said calmly.

In an instant, a second color appeared in the black and white world—a brilliant and dazzling purple-gold.

Under the bright light, a surging power swept outwards from Lin Yuan's center, causing huge waves to surge and crash against the black water beneath his feet.

"Ding--"

With a crisp clang, Huang Quan's hilt struck the light surrounding Lin Yuan.

The light rippled slightly, completely unharmed. Huang Quan's eyes flashed, and he drew his sword without hesitation.

"I mourn for the deceased..."

This sword strike was executed without the sound of it being drawn from its sheath; only a soft hum accompanied by a low, muffled thunderclap echoed from it.

A crimson light shone from the blade, and wherever the blade pointed, the black raindrops in front of it were cut in half, each half being sliced ​​open a second time, and so on, until they were cut but still existed.

Lin Yuan did not back down. Even after his body sent a fatal warning signal, his gaze remained intense.

Faced with the blade flashing so close at hand, he clenched his right fist, and the power contained within the Calamity Sun instantly gathered, unleashing the [Twilight] strike.

Out of respect for his formidable opponent, he chose to use a basic attack as a way to unleash his ultimate skill.

The two forces clashed instantly, without a loud sound, only a low hum.

In a flash of light, a massive ripple spread outwards from the point of impact. Wherever it reached, the black seawater evaporated instantly, revealing the dark seabed beneath.

After the impact, the two figures separated immediately upon contact, then switched positions and stood facing each other.

Looking at the dimming light on his fist, Lin Yuan frowned slightly.

This time, the power of the twilight attack was significantly less than the previous ones. In fact, not only the twilight, but his overall condition was also being weakened by the void in the environment.

After all, as one of the myriad manifestations of the Void Star God, this place is filled with far too much void power. Or rather, apart from nothingness, this place rejects all external existence.

"It seems we need to finish this quickly."

A sharp gaze flashed, and Lin Yuan's body erupted with even greater light.

The bright purple-gold light rushed straight towards the Yellow Springs. In an instant, the two beams of light changed positions and clashed fiercely.

With each collision, a patch of black seawater evaporated and vanished. Two figures moved nimbly across the black ocean, lightning and fire constantly intertwining and annihilating each other.

They attacked from the sea surface into the air, and then pushed back down from the air surface.

"You are very strong, extremely strong. I am no match for you outside." Huang Quan's figure flickered uncertainly amidst the flashing blades.

"But here, your presence is too strong."

Lin Yuan remained silent, only focusing on his attacks.

"In this realm of nothingness, the stronger the existence, the easier it is to be eroded by the void itself. It is constantly dissolved in this ceaseless rain. So, let's stop here."

Lin Yuan's gaze remained unchanged upon hearing Huang Quan's explanation.

He had already noticed that his strength was being constantly weakened by the pouring rain, and he needed to expend much more energy than the outside world to maintain himself.

Moreover, although the power of nothingness can also be refined by the calamity of the sun, the energy it consumes is different from other destinies, and the burden is much greater.

In this way, the increase in power cannot keep up with the decrease in power.

As long as he continues to fight here, his power will inevitably decline in order to maintain his existence.

The stronger the power, the stronger the erosion from nothingness, and the faster it declines. This is the home-field advantage of nothingness.

"Should we stop here?"

A thought arose in his mind, but he immediately dismissed it.

The Void Commander, residing in the Void's home turf, was the most formidable enemy Lin Yuan had ever encountered. But the more formidable and powerful the enemy, the more Lin Yuan desired him.

He was already on a path of no return, and the enemies he faced would only grow stronger.

Every formidable opponent serves as a whetstone on his path forward, allowing him to discover his shortcomings and make up for his deficiencies.

"If you want to plot against the gods in this Pyrrhic Khanna, I must overcome you!"

Lin Yuan smiled and, observing Huang Quan's slightly changing expression, unleashed an even greater level of power.

In an instant, he unleashed countless ferocious and terrifying attacks. Faced with such overwhelming power, Huang Quan's expression finally changed.

Although the blade flashed quickly, it became increasingly difficult for Lin Yuan to block each of his attacks.

But Lin Yuan was also not feeling well. Although the burst of power was exhilarating, the immersion in the void had deepened considerably, and the light surrounding his body was no longer as bright as before.

Moreover, Huang Quan's every strike is not so easy to catch.

Everything in the world eventually returns to nothingness, but the process of change reveals existence.

Each of Huang Quan's strikes transformed his power from "existence" to "non-existence." Although Lin Yuan was able to resist this by refining it, the consumption was increasing.

"My strength is still not fully integrated; it's too crude."

A thought flashed through Lin Yuan's mind.

In every battle in the past, he used the power of the Sun to refine all things and suppress other destinies, allowing him to gain power and suppress others.

However, when facing equally matched or formidable opponents, it depends on the depth of each side's strength and experience.

Lin Yuan's foundation can now be described as "having the principles but lacking the skills." He possesses a vast amount of destiny power and authority, yet he is unable to fully utilize it.

The simple incantations of the past, combined with that crude fusion of twilight, can only be considered the most rudimentary application.

"This is a good opportunity to integrate and apply our knowledge in battle."

Lin Yuan's gaze was firm; he was determined to transform himself through this battle.

Therefore, even as the radiance around him dimmed, he remained determined to attack his opponent.

One punch, ten punches, a hundred punches, a thousand punches!

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yuan abandoned all fancy moves and simply threw punches.
