Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Yonghuo Guanyi? The place where Da Lihua is...."

Fen Feng stood in mid-air, brows tightly furrowed, gaze sweeping toward the Yonghuo Guanyi below.

He was searching the entire Huan Yu for the Void Emissary, yet kept losing her trail again and again.

Many times he was clearly about to catch up, but that woman would take a turn and vanish without a trace.

In the end, even he himself began to get lost following her, his heart filled with irritability.

Da Lihua — Fen Feng naturally knew of her. She was originally of the Antimatter Legion, later betrayed Destruction and joined the Yiting.

She is also the Undetermined Extinction Monarch, a person of the Extinction Memory Fate Path.

But what Da Lihua is truly famous for is not her Extinction Monarch potential.

Rather, she actually acknowledged the Minghuo Grand Duke as her father, forcibly giving Xuan Ge a dad.

This absurd yet badass move is what made her renowned throughout the Huan Yu.

The Interstellar Peace Corporation, Antimatter Legion, Harmony Family, Xian Zhou, Genius Society — all gave Da Lihua a thumbs-up, high and low alike; this maneuver was no less outrageous than a matchmaker arranging a marriage between Abundance and the Hunt.

Ever since the Minmie Bang learned that the Minghuo Grand Duke's adopted daughter at Yonghuo Guanyi is Xuan Ge's consort.

From that moment on, everyone settled down; even the Minghuo Grand Duke dared not step out lightly.

Fen Feng himself has racked his brains to this day and still cannot fathom the meaning of Da Lihua's doing so.

"It seems the Minghuo Grand Duke cannot escape death." Fen Feng gazed at the blazing flames erupting from the direction of Yonghuo Guanyi, tone flat.

One would think the Minghuo Grand Duke is exchanging blows with that woman who is likewise a Void Emissary.

That woman's blade remains sheathed, yet Fen Feng can sense the boundless power contained within it.

Fen Feng descended slowly, both feet landing steadily on the mansion's streets.

He strolled along; countless panicked figures fled past him in haste, brushing shoulders as they passed.

"Fen Feng?" Da Lihua walked out from a dark alley to the side, tone carrying a hint of wariness.

She looked at the white-clad, hooded man before her, eyes narrowing slightly.

"When is Meng Er coming back?" Fen Feng couldn't be bothered to waste words on this traitor, tone icy.

In his eyes, only a child as pure as Meng Er is worth his concern.

Although she's usually a bit more mischievous....

"Who knows?" Da Lihua gave a light laugh, deliberately keeping a sufficient distance from Fen Feng.

She knew clearly that Fen Feng remains a Huan Yu-class calamity; his destructive power is even more terrifying than Xuan Ge's.

Xuan Ge's strength lies in precise targeting, adept at controlling the battle situation.

Whereas once Fen Feng's power erupts, it is enough to incinerate the Huan Yu.

Xuan Ge himself admits this, yet Fen Feng has never been able to beat Xuan Ge.

Because no matter how strong the power, it cannot overcome the causal force of a Star God's level.

Fen Feng ignored Da Lihua further and walked straight toward the depths of Yonghuo Guanyi.

Da Lihua watched his departing direction, brows furrowing slightly.

She suddenly recalled what Xing Xiao had said — Fen Feng has been searching for a Void Emissary.

Could it be that that Void Emissary has already come to Yonghuo Guanyi?

Thinking of this, Da Lihua's right hand coalesced a dark-blue flame.

A Shenwu Token engraved with the two characters "Li Fei" slowly emerged in her hand.

She clutched the token tightly, ready for any contingency, prepared to summon her husband at any moment.

Fen Feng may be Xuan Meng Er's teacher, but whether he would save her is still an unknown.

Only the power given by Xuan Ge makes her feel secure.

The two, one after another, stepped into Yonghuo Guanyi.

The mansion interior was severely damaged; broken walls and ruins everywhere, completely devoured by flames.

The air was thick with a scorched smell, and a faint bloody odor.

"You seem to have been looking for me all along?" Huang Quan perceived the two auras coming from behind and slowly turned around.

Her blade, originally aimed at the Minghuo Grand Duke, was slowly withdrawn and resheathed at her waist.

The Minghuo Grand Duke looked up; upon seeing the arrivals clearly, his heart instantly sank — it was Destruction's Emissary, the Extinction Monarch Fen Feng.

And when he saw Da Lihua behind Fen Feng, he immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Da Lihua, leave this place."

"Sorry~ Father." Da Lihua raised her right hand, displaying the Shenwu Token in her grasp.

The black characters "Li Fei" on the token stood especially conspicuous in the firelight.

The Minghuo Grand Duke sat on the ground, silent, not speaking.

He suddenly understood that his worry had been superfluous from start to finish.

Huang Quan's gaze fell on the token in Da Lihua's hand, and she asked softly: "Which Xuan Ge?"

"What 'which Xuan Ge'? Of course it's Xuan Huang." Da Lihua looked at Huang Quan with a strange expression, not understanding why she would ask this.

"He ultimately still became Emperor, then...." Huang Quan murmured to herself, eyes somewhat dazed.

Her left thumb unconsciously pressed against the sword guard; purple hair gradually turned white.

The aura surrounding her also began to grow increasingly dangerous, carrying a bone-piercing chill.

Fen Feng stepped forward, standing firmly before Da Li Hua; he drew a long sword, its tip pointed straight at Huang Quan, his tone icy: "It seems you have experienced it."

Although he hated this traitor Da Li Hua, she was ultimately Meng Er's mother.

"I have experienced it countless times in the dream, and I could not stop it." Huang Quan's voice carried a trace of weariness, yet her indifferent gaze was incomparably resolute.

"Xuan Ge is a madman; I must stop him." Her originally purple pupils gradually turned blood red.

The power around her body climbed steadily; the aura of Nihility grew ever thicker.

"Xuan Ge has not stepped into Nihility, merely been contaminated." Fen Feng gripped the long sword tight, its tip aimed at Huang Quan.

Da Li Hua also saw that matters were not ordinary, and hurriedly spoke to explain.

She clutched the token in her hand, ready to summon Xuan Ge at any moment: "It was Harmony's descent, tearing away the force that tried to drag Xuan Ge into Nihility."

"Is that so..." The white hair atop Huang Quan's head gradually turned back to purple.

But she did not withdraw her power; instead she stated plainly: "Once Nihility contaminates, there is no escape; I will go help him."

Finished speaking, Huang Quan turned her head to look at the Grand Duke of Netherfire, tone flat: "You still have room to choose."

"Leave that music box behind, then go."

The Grand Duke of Netherfire sneered, his tone full of finality: "Choice? The blood path of Destruction has never tolerated hesitation."

"Tuo Fei Te's fire demon... even if you offer your life to that Aeon, you will not gain His favor."

Huang Quan once again leveled her blade at the Grand Duke of Netherfire, attempting to move him, her tone carrying a hint of admonition.

"It appears you are not a Ranger." From Huang Quan's fragmentary words, the Grand Duke of Netherfire had already confirmed her identity.

She is not a Patrol Ranger, but one who walks far on the Path of Nihility, having already reached the rank of Emissary.

"We come from fire, born of fire." The Grand Duke of Netherfire's voice carried a touch of desolation, yet was incomparably firm.

"Spread, burn, destroy, until the fuel is exhausted, leaving a ground of dead ash."

"Burning is a fire demon's lifetime, beginning and end."

He raised his eyes to the distance, his tone carrying a trace of release: "We are born toward death, only to enact a facet of the universe's truth: all things are born for destruction."

Finished speaking, the Grand Duke of Netherfire looked at Da Li Hua, revealing a gentle smile: "Child, I will not blame you."

"But my flames have grown hoarse; time is not plentiful."

"Do you see the Festivity Star in the distance? You must take Lian Yu there."

Da Li Hua smiled faintly, a flash of understanding in her eyes.

The Festivity Star Father spoke of is Pinocchio; naturally she would go.

Huang Quan watched the Grand Duke of Netherfire's resolute bearing, knowing his mind was made up.

She asked softly: "Do you still have words to say?"

"No more words; act quickly." The Grand Duke of Netherfire looked at Da Li Hua, his eyes full of relief.

As long as she is willing to accept his dying wish, even if she once betrayed him, he has no regrets.

Huang Quan took a deep breath, slowly pressed her hand to the hilt, her gaze becoming incomparably solemn.

"May death end your long dream... and guide you back to the waking world."
