In an instant, the five enormous spatial tunnels that had been quietly flowing with endless black energy vanished.

Under the tearing force of the unreasonable spatial laws, its stable internal structure suddenly shattered.

"Shh!"

Under the shocked gaze of everyone.

In an instant, the five enormous white vortexes split into thousands upon thousands of tiny spatial wormholes emitting a faint silver light.

These tiny spatial wormholes are projected onto Kongkong's unlimited random coordinates.

It directly crossed the barriers of time and dimensions, piercing through countless light-years without warning.

It took root precisely at the very center of those more distant outer galaxy clusters that had already passed by or had not yet been affected.

"buzzing"

Just a second ago, these tiny wormholes in space had opened up in those distant, unfamiliar star systems.

The next second, the viscous black void energy that was being frantically transformed inside Xiao Xu's belly was instantly absorbed in large quantities and transported over through these space sub-channels that were blooming everywhere.

Originally, those countless advanced civilizations located on the edge of the star field were secretly rejoicing that they were far enough away from the battlefield of the Great Purge to have time to pack up their belongings and escape in their spaceships.

In that instant, they were plunged into the most desperate nightmare in the history of their civilization.

In a nameless, bustling star field dozens of light-years away from the core war zone.

A massive combined evacuation fleet, numbering in the hundreds of millions of warships, was now traveling at full speed through the starry sky.

"Hurry, move faster! According to intelligence from the Cangran Empire, the star system in the rear has been completely overrun. We must escape to the neighboring star cluster before the black mist spreads over."

The commander-in-chief of the combined fleet was seen in a holographic projection, his face contorted with rage as he directed all the ships.

However, before he could finish speaking...

"boom!"

Right at the very front of this massive retreat fleet, numbering in the hundreds of millions, was the very center of the enormous green galaxy cluster they were bound to pass through.

Suddenly, a strange, silvery-white rift tens of thousands of kilometers long appeared in the void.

Immediately following, countless viscous black wisps of energy, emanating an ethereal, undulating aura, appeared.

Suddenly, a massive, overwhelming surge erupted from within the newly opened spatial passage.

"What is this? Why is this thing appearing right in front of us? Radar warning: the galaxy ahead has been forcibly erased in an instant."

Inside the spaceship's cockpit, countless alien navigators watched as the radar screen instantly turned deathly silent, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets in terror.

"It's bad, sir. It's not just the front; our rear, our left flank, our right flank... In the last second, countless spatial rifts opened up, and the black energy surrounded us from all directions."

"No! What the hell is this thing? Let us go!"

In the most helpless and desperate screams that the Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet had ever heard in his life.

The black void energy, attacking from both sides, surged wildly across the sky and the wilderness.

That was a massive retreat fleet that numbered over a hundred million ships, embodying the last efforts and hopes of dozens of civilizations.

The moment they came into contact with the black energy, they couldn't even muster the most basic energy resistance.

Hundreds of millions of exquisite and sturdy steel warships, along with tens of billions of vibrant alien lives inside, crying out for survival.

Without a sound, it vanished into thin air, completely swallowed and assimilated by the black mist, and disappeared entirely into the dust of the universe.

Chapter 493 Escaping the Star Cluster

Such tragedies are amplified by the ubiquitous spatial channel network in Kongkong.

It is unfolding wildly and intensely in every corner of the vast star cluster, with an uncontrollable and terrifying force.

Meanwhile, not far from this devastating battlefield, on another major cosmic route.

A massive, densely packed fleet of hundreds of millions of ships fleeing across interstellar regions resembled a vast, endless galaxy stretching across space.

Under the personal escort of ten terrifying figures exuding a world-destroying aura, they were frantically retreating towards the interstellar rift on the outer edge of the star cluster, their expressions filled with terror.

This terrifying force of hundreds of billions of warships was the main force of the Cangran Empire's mass exodus, personally led by ten supreme guardian elders whose strength had reached the star cluster level, who had received a death order from the Imperial Academy.

At this very moment, in the void of the last line of defense as the black mist relentlessly closes in.

Ten terrifying figures, each tens of thousands of meters tall and radiating energy comparable to that of stars, stood silently side by side in the vacuum.

Each of them was a supreme being at the star cluster level, renowned in this star field for tens of thousands of years, capable of shattering an entire star system with a wave of their hand.

However, at this very moment, these ten native gods, who are usually high above and worshipped by hundreds of millions of races, are now...

Those aged and dignified faces were filled with unprecedented weariness and a deep sense of powerlessness hidden in the depths of their eyes.

"Ha! Get out of my way!"

One of the star cluster-level monsters, with nine enormous dragon heads and its body engulfed in brilliant golden divine fire, let out a law-based roar that shook the surrounding area for several light-years.

Its divine fire burned to its peak in that instant, and its two colossal claws, tens of thousands of kilometers long, shoved fiercely through the void.

A terrifying energy storm, containing the law of absolute annihilation and capable of easily blowing away large swathes of galaxies, suddenly surged out from its palm and slammed into the viscous black fog of the void that was pushing forward in front of it.

However, what happened next caused the eyes on all nine heads of the nine-headed dragon monster to simultaneously reveal an expression of extreme terror.

"boom!"

The golden storm, powerful enough to destroy the world, crashed violently into the thick, black mist.

Instead of forcibly tearing apart or dispersing the black mist as expected, it did not.

On the contrary, at the moment of contact, those golden annihilation laws, those violent stellar-level energies...

After coming into contact with the high-dimensional annihilation laws at the system's core, the black mist acted as the best fuel and nutrients, being frantically absorbed by the black energy in an instant.

Nourished by this cluster-level law energy, the black mist, which was already moving at its maximum speed, was now able to move at an even faster speed.

The darkness on its surface instantly became even deeper and thicker, and its spread accelerated again, launching a fierce counterattack.

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing?"

The Nine-Headed Dragon Monster was so frightened that its nine necks suddenly shrank back, and its massive body hurriedly retreated tens of thousands of kilometers.

It looked at its two giant claws, which were now festering from slight contact with the black energy, and even its own immortal divine cells could not stop the necrosis, and screamed in anger.

"No matter what goes in, no matter what supreme laws and cosmic constants I use to bombard it, it will eventually become part of their body within the first microsecond and be completely absorbed by these strange black mists. This is a power that is simply beyond the comprehension of beings in our dimension."

Beside it, another star cluster-level monster, resembling a giant crystal life form, also had its crystals dimmed.

As it desperately used its energy shield to resist the faint aftershocks emanating from the edge of the black mist that were constantly corroding its original physical body, it sighed in a dry voice.

"Don't waste your energy, Nine Heads. In the past half day, we have tried countless methods, and we all know the result."

"Although we are able to barely wander around this black mist a few times with our star cluster-level origin cultivation, and maintain our own laws so that they do not collapse in an instant."

"However, the indescribable destructive and corrosive force contained within this black mist is constantly and frantically eroding our bodies and souls."

"If we stay inside for too long, or are completely enveloped by this black mist, even beings like us who hold the sovereignty of the star cluster will not last long and will surely perish without leaving a trace."

Hearing the crystal monster's disheartening, definitive statement...

The remaining star cluster-level powerhouses around them also completely lost their composure.

One of the supreme beings, clad in tattered dark purple divine armor and resembling an elderly human, mocked himself with a mixture of speechlessness and sorrow.

"How absurd! It's utterly ridiculous! We've lived for countless years, as the true masters and gods of this vast star cluster, usually holding the power of life and death over billions of living beings."

"But I never imagined that there would come a day when I would be reduced to being like a stray dog, forced to completely abandon the home star cluster that I had protected for thousands of years, to wander and to savagely attack other unfamiliar star clusters."

Hearing the old man's somewhat sorrowful sigh, a powerful beast exuding a violent aura offered a deep, comforting voice.

"Alright, Elder Zi, since things have already happened, let's not worry about it for now. Let's quickly cover the evacuation of the border garrison fleets and the people of the Empire from these various star systems."

"Hasn't the most accurate core instructions already come from above?"

The blood-red behemoth patted its chest and glanced warily into the distance.

"Those old fogies speculate that this strange black mist is very likely a once-in-ten-thousand-years catastrophe of civilization's great era that is spreading throughout the entire known star cluster."

"Our current priority is to preserve the flame of our Cangran Empire. As long as we can follow the main force and forcefully conquer those unfamiliar star clusters that have not been affected, we can wipe out all the inferior civilizations there."

"When the time comes, after we seize their new territories, our Cangran Empire will still be the ruler. As for our old home, let's put it aside for now."

"At worst, we can wait tens of thousands of years until these strange black mists dissipate or subside on their own, and then we can lead our army back to reclaim our homeland."

Chapter 494 is gone.

Hearing the comforting words from the powerful giant beast.

The old man in dark purple armor, known as Elder Purple, simply shook his head with a mixture of despair and self-mockery.

Those deep eyes, which seemed to see through cause and effect, stared intently at the absolute darkness relentlessly advancing behind them, and sighed.

"Come back? Heh, behemoth, you're oversimplifying things. Haven't you seen through the true nature of this black mist yet? How can you possibly come back?"

The old man stretched out a finger and pointed to the vast, collapsed starry river below.

"This damned black mist is not an ordinary cosmic catastrophe at all. Wherever it goes, it devours all matter, assimilates all laws, and even destroys the most core gravitational rules of stars."

"Didn't you see? As it passed by, an entire galaxy was instantly reduced to nothingness, leaving not a single living thing, not even a single basic cell."

"This is simply a massive, absolute, formatted cleansing of the universe's structure, without any unnecessary actions. Even if this black mist truly recedes hundreds of thousands of years from now, all that will remain here is nothingness. What use will it be for us to return to face nothingness?"

These words are filled with the cruel reality of endless bloodshed.

In that instant, it slammed heavily into the chests of all the star cluster-level supreme experts present.

At this moment, all ten peerless gods, whose might shook the galaxy, fell into a deathly silence and speechlessness.

They turned their heads and looked down at the hundreds of billions of Imperial warships below, which were screaming in terror and leaving countless streaks of warp beams as they fled for their lives.

Then look behind them, where a tireless black demon god, exuding an aura of endless greed and destruction, follows closely.

In the end, these powerful figures who usually considered themselves gods could only sigh with utter helplessness and resentment.

They no longer had any foolish intention to confront the black mist head-on. With a heart full of humiliation and fear, they slowly turned around, their figures transforming into dazzling streams of light, continuing to lead the massive torrent of refugees that stretched for several light-years ahead.

They fled frantically towards the distant, unknown interstellar rift without looking back.

Time, once again, ticked by for two full days amidst the vast upheavals of the universe and the mournful cries of countless civilizations.
