Chapter 1555: Fleeing with Limbs Severed: The Void Land of 4.0

"It can't be you, it can't possibly be you—what I've feared for countless years cannot be you..."

The shadow still roared, as if the eyes that had watched it since its birth were an intrusion by Lin Yan, something it could not accept!

Lin Yan understood why it felt this way.

Those eyes had become its nightmare for countless eons, the ultimate enemy it had deemed its lifelong foe; it had spent countless years, harvested countless ages, even corrupted itself, all just to wield this black spear—its sole purpose: to find the eyes behind it.

But now the shadow knew: those eyes were Lin Yan's gaze, peering through the River of Time!

How could it accept that!

Remember, when Lin Yan first appeared, he wasn't even at the highest level.

A being not of the highest level, born in a world crushed under its terror, too afraid to even flourish—yet he had become its lifelong nightmare!

How could it, the first sentient being of this world, accept that!

How could it possibly accept!

Lin Yan even felt that, at this moment, the shadow might actually prefer those eyes belonged to some "great terror" far stronger than itself.

But the shadow knew: Lin Yan's words were likely true.

The ant it had scorned had, after countless years, laid a trap against it, become its ultimate fear—and worse, had threatened it, had even rendered its black spear useless to kill it, had...

Countless years had piled up, and the shadow's emotions surged wildly!

Lin Yan seized this moment and flared his flames violently onto the shadow's body.

"You insect, I am the lord of this world—I will kill you..."

The shadow roared, swinging its spear to drive Lin Yan back.

But it was already too late!

Moreover, Xi Hua's hand unleashed the Dark Sword once more.

Yet this time, the shadow ignored Xi Hua entirely; its spear, brimming with terrifying power, stabbed straight into Lin Yan's flames.

A thread of Lin Yan's flame had already surged into the shadow's wound!

The shadow sensed the danger; its inner power surged wildly: "Get out!"

The shadow roared—within it still pulsed a force granted by heaven and earth at the world's dawn, a force equivalent to the entire world's primal energy, rushing forth to engulf Lin Yan's flames and expel them.

At the same time, the black spear pierced deep into Lin Yan's flames.

If Lin Yan now chose to contract his flames into the Everlasting Fire state, he would be blasted out through the shadow's wound by its inner power.

The opportunity he had fought so hard to seize would vanish.

And tomorrow, even if he activated the power of time, he would likely relive this very scene.

This war would likely drag on endlessly again.

And the variables would grow greater, for Xi Hua's power was continuously declining!

"No more waiting."

Lin Yan's gaze hardened—he decided to take the shadow's spear head-on.

He ignored everything, his flames surging wildly into the shadow's body.

The terrifying primal force rushed toward him; Lin Yan's flames flared fiercely and met it head-on.

"Sssss~"

As if something was being burned.

At the same moment, the black spear arrived, shattering all.

Instantly, Lin Yan's several panels showed his values plummeting wildly.

The energy points, which had once borne an infinity symbol, now...

Dropped from infinity straight to trillions, hundreds of billions, tens of billions...

The infinite energy points, due to this spear thrust and the primal force's impact, had simply... plummeted to only ten billion left!

Though Lin Yan's Everlasting Fire form would not extinguish even if his energy points ran out, once they fell to ten billion, his divine power surged violently.

"Both divine powers—ignite to maximum fury!"

Simultaneously, tens of thousands of drops of divine power poured in.
