Chapter 275: No One Can Escape My Pursuit

Lei Dong's legendary feat of "one against thirty" acted like an efficient internal disinfection, swiftly purging the restlessness and arrogance that had festered in certain corners, making the operation of the New Era more rigorous. Meanwhile, far away in the Belly of Kunlun Mountain, in that core region shrouded by chaos and distorted rules, a final contest over life, death, and the secrets of civilization was entering a fever pitch as Qin Feng personally intervened.

The temporary rule channel Qin Feng forcibly opened via the Crossing Key was highly unstable. The instant he stepped out and his form solidified at the edge of the Void Hollow within Kunlun Mountain's core, violent spatial turbulence and the cold, indifferent spiritual pollution emitted by the Kunlun Star Core struck him like ten million invisible steel needles piercing from all directions!

This was not physical attack—it was a rule-level erosion directly targeting the essence of existence! It could crush beings like Silver Wing into fundamental particles in an instant!

Yet around Qin Feng, a barrier invisible to the naked eye—apparently composed of countless minute rule-inscriptions—appeared silently. The preliminary understanding and application of underlying rules granted by his System upgrade now revealed its transcendent power. The chaotic forces capable of annihilating matter and soul crashed against this rule barrier like waves against a reef—though they churned violent ripples, they could not shake its foundation.

His gaze locked instantly onto the black Kunlun Star Core floating at the center of the Hollow.

It "noticed" Qin Feng's arrival.

Hum—!

A Spiritual Impact a hundredfold stronger than the one directed at Xia Wan, mixed with a bizarre force as if attempting to rewrite reality's rules, surged toward Qin Feng like an invisible cosmic storm. This time, it no longer carried chaotic fragments of information—but a clear, cold, program-like will to erase!

Simultaneously, from the twisted void around him, the indescribable shadow derivatives that had killed Silver Wing reformed once more—more numerous, more grotesque in form—silent in their howls, attacking Qin Feng from angles violating all physical logic!

Facing this siege capable of driving any known civilization to despair, Qin Feng's face remained expressionless.

He did not even look at the approaching shadow derivatives.

His entire focus was immersed in deep connection with the System, engaging in the most direct, most perilous rule-level confrontation with the Kunlun Star Core!

【Analyzing target rule structure… encountering high-intensity encryption and anti-analysis mechanisms…】【Detected homologous residual information (Xia Wan's Bloodline Imprint)… attempting to use it as a breakthrough for connection…】【Met with fierce rejection from target's core will… Rule conflict level escalated to 'High Risk'…】

System alerts flashed in Qin Feng's consciousness at an unprecedented speed. He was forcibly cracking the underlying logic of this Star Core, seeking to understand its mechanism and find a way to control or shut it down.

And the shadow derivatives' attacks had reached him!

Just as their twisted, reality-eroding tentacles were about to touch Qin Feng—

Qin Feng did not even turn his head.

He merely shifted his intent slightly.

An invisible, intangible force, seemingly embodying the very concept of "Order," rippled outward from him like gentle water waves.

In an instant!

The shadow derivatives rushing toward him froze mid-motion. Their constantly shifting, twisted forms were forcibly locked and constrained by some invisible framework. Their silent howls ceased abruptly; their reality-eroding abilities were instantly locked, rendered inert!

Then, under a higher-layer rule mechanism, these derivatives—composed of chaotic energy and negative information—melted like snow thrown into the sun, disintegrating from the most fundamental particle level, leaving not a trace behind.

Instant kill!

Not through energy clashes. Not through skillful combat.

But by directly overlaying and erasing these "Chaos" creations with a superior "Order" rule!

This was the cruelty and directness of rule-level confrontation!

Yet the Kunlun Star Core seemed utterly enraged—assuming it possessed emotion—by Qin Feng's casual counterattack. Its silver patterns flared with unprecedented brightness; all energy within the Hollow boiled and ran wild! It no longer merely released Spiritual Impact and derivatives—it began violently disrupting and distorting the space-time structure of this region in a way Qin Feng could not yet fully comprehend!

It seemed to want… to exile Qin Feng into unknown temporal currents! Or to delete this entire region—and Qin Feng along with it—from the fabric of reality!

Space fractured like spiderwebs; time flowed chaotically; fragments of past and future light flickered like shattered mirrors, scattering everywhere!

Qin Feng's rule barrier emitted a strained hum; the System interface flashed crimson warning lights!

【WARNING! High-dimensional spacetime disturbance detected! Rule barrier overloaded! Stability dropping to 67%… 53%…】【Target attempting regional spacetime reset/deletion! Risk level: Catastrophic!】

Situation critical!

But in Qin Feng's eyes, there was no panic—only a cold, sharp gleam.

He abandoned his gentle analytical approach.

His consciousness sank to the deepest core of the System Star Swirl, directly touching the Singularity representing origin and endpoint.

A force far vaster, far more primordial than before, was forcibly summoned!

This was not mere rule application—it was tapping into the System's core permissions!

Qin Feng raised his hand, fingers spread, aiming directly at the wildly flashing Kunlun Star Core.

His voice rang out in this region of chaotic rules and collapsing spacetime—calm, yet bearing an absolute authority that judged the fate of all things, as if etched directly into the universe's underlying code:

"Within my domain…"

"No one can escape my pursuit."

"You are no exception."

The instant his words ended!

The Kunlun Star Core, previously raging and twisting spacetime, was suddenly gripped by an invisible hand—all light and energy fluctuations froze utterly in that instant!

The boiling chaotic energy around it, the shattered spacetime cracks, the flying fragments of light and shadow… everything froze, as if the pause button had been pressed.

The entire Hollow sank into an absolute, heart-stopping silence.

Only Qin Feng's calm figure stood within it.

As if he, alone, were the sole sovereign of this spacetime.

Pursuit?

No.

This… was judgment.
