Chapter 560: Coordinates Leaked! Hunters Descend, Full-Speed Breakthrough

Qin Si's voice showed fear amidst the anxiety.

At the center of the hall, Qin Hao's body began to glow.

It was not ordinary energy light, but an absolute gray-white color.

The system panel exploded, no longer a flat two-dimensional interface.

Countless lines shot from within Qin Hao's body, intertwining in midair to construct a solid three-dimensional model.

It was a sphere.

It was not a map of this cosmic sea.

But a coordinate system composed of countless points of light.

Each point of light was pulsing.

【Navigation module activated.】

【All locations of the same-origin fragments have been marked.】

Qin Hao widened his eyes.

He stared at that light sphere.

In this vast, boundless darkness, countless points of light were scattered.

Some points were faint, like that fragment just now.

Some points blazed blindingly, like a supernova explosion.

And at the center of all the points of light was a huge black void.

That void was devouring the surrounding light.

All the coordinate axes pointed toward it.

【Ultimate authority node: updating coordinates X-999, Y-000, Z-ERROR】

【Distance from current position: crossing three high-dimensional sectors.】

【Prompt: approaching that coordinate will unlock the core database.】

"Is this... the puzzle Xuan Du spoke of?"

Qin Hao murmured to himself.

He gazed at those points of light scattered everywhere.

Each point of light could be a system holder like him, or a relic guarded by some power.

This is a treasure map.

It is also a death talisman.

Just then, the solid light-sphere model suddenly turned red.

A piercing alarm shattered the silence of the core hall.

【Warning! Passive beacon triggered!】

【Due to the host merging fragments, location information has been leaked.】

【Trackers are locking on……】

Qin Hao sprang to his feet.

"Who?"

Qin Si's fingers flew through the air in rapid motions.

"There is an extremely faint thought scanning this region; its source…… is inside Ghost Market Entrance!"

On the big screen, the massive skeletal structure diagram of Ghost Market Entrance lit up.

In the direction of the auction house they had just left, a black skull mark rose.

That was not the insignia of the Chaos Enforcement Bureau.

It was an older, bloodier totem.

A shattered mirror was crushed by a hand.

"It is the hunter."

Qin Hao recalled Xuan Du's words.

That thing that specializes in hunting fragment holders.

Never imagined that merging the fragments would expose oneself like lighting a lamp in the night.

"Qin Zheng, activate the engine immediately!"

"No matter what disguise, full power output—we must get out of here!"

Boom—

Beneath the bloated hull of the Yanhuang Universe, the previously inefficient rules engine suddenly roared.

The yellow working fluid used for disguise was replaced by violent black rules flames.

The immense thrust turned the whole ship into a cannonball, smashing through a skeletal rib above.

Bone fragments flew.

Ghost Market Entrance's alarm blared.

"Seize that fleeing universe!"

Countless defense turrets swiveled, locking onto the accelerating Yanhuang Universe as it fled.

"Old Three, clear the way!"

Qin Hao's voice turned icy to the extreme.

Since we can't hide, let's fight our way out.

Qin Wu let out a wild laugh; he, long stifled and frustrated, directly took over the weapons system.

The armor on the side of the Yanhuang Universe flipped open.

Tens of thousands of dark‑red rule spears protruded.

"Get lost, old man!"

Ten thousand spears fired in unison.

At this moment, the garbage‑picking cleaner revealed his ferocious fangs.

A huge gap was torn in the blockade line ahead.

The Yanhuang Universe, dragging countless rule fragments across the sky, plunged headfirst into the boundless chaotic void.

Behind it, the massive skeleton at the Ghost Market Entrance gradually receded.

But that locked‑on chill did not disappear.

That black skull mark still clung tightly to the edge of the radar.

"Can't shake it off."

Qin Si's face turned pale.

"Their speed is 30% faster than ours, and their movement trajectory is unpredictable."

On the screen.

A black dot was approaching at an astonishing speed.

Each flash spanned tens of thousands of light‑years.

As if the void did not exist for it.

"Is this the power of the hunter?"

Qin Hao stared at that black dot.

On the system panel, the navigation module fused with fragments was still spinning.

One of those light points was right behind him.

This indicates that the thing pursuing also has a fragment inside it.

And it is much larger than Qin Hao's fragment.

This is raising gu.

Only by devouring others can one become stronger.

"Since we can't shake it off, we have no choice but to find a place to deal with it."

Qin Hao's gaze swept over the star map.

"This is all open terrain; fighting here would put us at a disadvantage."

His finger slid across the map and finally stopped at a patch of chaotic void.

That is a deadly spot marked in the dark map given by Xuan Du.

【Despair Corridor】

There, strong rule turbulence prevails, and any conventional navigation will fail there.

"Go there."

Qin Hao pointed at that expanse of deadly void.

"Only by muddying the waters do we have a chance to strike back."

"Qin Zheng, target Despair Corridor!"

"Understood!"

The Yanhuang Universe accelerated again.

The Rule Engine overloaded, and its hull began to glow red.

The massive hull twisted slightly and vanished into thin air in place.

One second later.

That black dot appeared at the spot where the Yanhuang Universe had just disappeared.

That was a strangely shaped spaceship.

Its entire body was assembled from countless shards of broken mirrors.

Inside the ship, there were no physical beings.

Only a light cluster floated in midair.

At the center of the light cluster hovered a palm‑sized mirror fragment.

A thought wave devoid of any emotional fluctuation spread outward.

"Detected reaction from Fragment No. 998."

"Target escaping."

"Calculating trajectory…… entering high‑danger zone."

"Executing cleanup procedure."

The mirror ship hesitated not at all.

It rotated once in place, and the surrounding space shattered.

It also plunged into the void, following the faint trace of rule remnants left by the Yanhuang Universe, and pursued it inside.

As the Yanhuang Universe had just entered, its hull emitted a piercing screech.

Countless twisted rule fragments scraped the camouflage layer like knives.

Time and space lost their meaning here.

One second it was still surging forward, the next the entire universe‑ship was yanked back to its original spot by an invisible force.

Light was folded, energy devoured.

Any conventional detection method here turns blind-eyed.

"Shut down all external detectors."

Qin Hao's voice echoed in the Core Main Hall, calm without a ripple.

"Old Four, switch to Origin Perception Mode and feel the way."

"Yes."

Qin Si closed her eyes; her vast computational power no longer extended outward but turned inward.

She synchronized the origin will of the entire Yanhuang Universe with the surrounding chaotic rules.

In her perception, the outside world was no longer a bizarre, distorted spectacle.

But rather an ocean composed of countless threads.

Most threads were gray and broken, representing the collapsed rules of this place.

But some threads were intact,

they were like warm currents in the ocean, forming navigable channels safe to pass through.

"Turn left thirty-seven degrees, reduce engine power by twelve percent; we need to glide into the shadow of that rule fault."

Qin Si's will guided this massive cosmic warship.
