Chapter 1114

Because the secret technique recorded in the mark left in the Morning Star Zunzhu's divine realm came at a terrible cost.

That cost… was herself…

Hmm, it was her…

As a goddess, the Eternal Night Zunzhu had never once entertained thoughts of that sort.

Heaven pity her, back on the Continent of Gods, she had barely even spoken to a man.

After becoming a goddess, she had never exchanged a single word with any male deity.

She had never even considered such things.

Yet after meeting Lin Yan, she occasionally found herself with thoughts that made her cheeks flush.

How could a fourth-tier god blush so easily?

If she wished, she could easily seal off such thoughts and stop her mind from wandering.

But the Eternal Night Zunzhu did not seal those scattered, chaotic thoughts.

"Should I really do this?"

The Eternal Night Zunzhu wondered.

Watching the flame grow colder, the Eternal Night Zunzhu's gaze slowly hardened.

Beside her, Lin Yan did not notice the Eternal Night Zunzhu's expression or demeanor.

He had no idea how badly she had misunderstood, nor what decision she had made.

He was sensing the location of that special flame.

In the Void Land, a god's perception ranged far wider than within the sun.

So though the special flame was said to be near Lin Yan, it was still quite distant.

"Here it comes!"

Finally, Lin Yan sensed the position of that flame.

Then, in his perception, the flame surged violently, racing straight toward Lin Yan!

This flame had launched a direct attack!

And Lin Yan finally saw its form!

This flame blended perfectly with the Void Land—its fire was void itself, as if it did not exist!

More astonishingly, the Eternal Night Zunzhu had not sensed it at all.

Only when it drew within a kilometer of Lin Yan did she finally notice it!

"This is…"

Before the Eternal Night Zunzhu could react, the flame rushed forward and completely engulfed Lin Yan's flame.

Its fire, like the Void Land, was pure gray-white.

This gray-white seemed to contain no energy or rules whatsoever!

Pure void!

In the Eternal Night Zunzhu's perception, Lin Yan's flame vanished entirely.

"Zunzhu…"

The Eternal Night Zunzhu turned pale, her divine power surging as she prepared to act—when a loud "Boom—" echoed.

Immediately after, crimson flame erupted violently from within the gray-white fire.

All the gray-white flame vanished without a trace.

"Zunzhu is unharmed."

The Eternal Night Zunzhu finally relaxed.

"Got it!"

Lin Yan's heart swelled with joy.

This special flame was no match for him.

The real challenge had always been how to lure the flame—so perfectly fused with the Void Land, ready to flee at any moment—into range.

Its sudden attack played right into Lin Yan's hands.

But the moment it arrived, he swallowed it whole.

After swallowing it, Lin Yan used his system to transform one layer of his flame into this flame's unique property.

Now, Lin Yan's flame still had forty-eight layers!

It seemed this was the maximum number of layers his flame could hold.

Lin Yan now possessed eighteen special flames.

Add this one, and that makes nineteen!

He named this flame Void Flame.

He chose this name because, after acquiring it, his system panel had gained a new rule: Void Rule.

"Void Rule… so the Void Land isn't without rules—it only has Void Rule."

Lin Yan thought.

"Void Rule seems capable of erasing all other rules, but it's not the same as Destruction Rule."

Lin Yan thought again.

Recalling the Void Beast's attacks, which could erase everything—energy, rules—turning all into blank nothingness.

This rule was fiercely exclusive.

Destruction Rule was different—it was merely violently destructive; energy remained, and other rules were crushed into fragments, not erased.

Lin Yan willed it, and the outermost layer of his flame was covered in Void Flame.

Immediately, all of his flames turned a gray-white color!

If Lin Yan now used this flame to burn in the Heavenly Realm, its effect would be identical to that of the Void Beast, directly creating vast expanses of void within the Heavenly Realm.

In other words, by devouring the Void Flame, Lin Yan had acquired the Void Beast's ability—and this ability was certainly stronger than the Void Beast's.

Lin Yan saw the progress of his Void Rule.

15%.

The progress wasn't high, but after a few more levels, reaching 100% shouldn't be difficult.

This was an unexpected gain, making Lin Yan's abilities more diverse, more bizarre, and far harder to counter!

In high spirits, Lin Yan retracted all his flames and assumed his Divine Body form.

Then, he deliberately tested whether he could use the Void Rule while in his Divine Body form.

However, when he used the Void Rule in his Divine Body form, his eyes turned gray-white.

Immediately after, Lin Yan noticed that the Eternal Night Goddess's condition seemed off?
