Chapter 375: A Breakout Laden with Perilous Odds
At the edge of the Bronze Sea, the dark matter storm breathed like a great beast, and Ao Li's Dragon Claw sank into a reef formed from quantum foam. Jun's mycelial network emitted a harsh alarm: "Entropy Value drops sharply toward the nine‑o'clock direction; it's a reverse‑meme trap!"
Lín Jìn's vermilion phoenix scarf wrapped around everyone's waist, and his Star‑sand‑infused right hand traced a burning Star Rail in the void: "Lingxiao Pavilion, clear the way!" Seven sword lights sprang forth, but twisted oddly when they reached the eye of the storm— the Dark Abyss Society's Holy Skeleton Guardian sat upright on the Probability Cloud Throne, his black sword flowing with the Twin's primordial blood marrow.
"Does the Dragon Clan's ash even deserve to be called light?" the Guardian swung his sword, severing the Star Rail; within the Sword Qi leapt the phantom of a silver‑haired infant. Ao Li's Boundary‑cutting Blade blocked horizontally, its edge colliding with the black sword and erupting the Singularity light of the universe's birth. Chaotic Spirit Marrow suddenly wailed, and the Dragon Scale shield cracked into hexagonal fragments in the aftershock.
Xing Zhi's broken wing suddenly unfolded, and the Navigation Star forced a Star Rail through the Probability Cloud: "South‑west quadrant has a cognitive blind spot!" Her luminous feathers traced a blood‑colored channel in the void, each feather burning the primal Star Marrow.
The Dragon Clan masters' foreheads lit with ancestral Dragon sigils; the Dragon Flame was no longer crimson blaze, but bronze flowing fire infused with Chaotic Spirit Marrow. Where the flames passed, the dark matter storm was burned away into a wormhole passage. The elders of Lingxiao Pavilion felt their Sword Souls tremble in unison— the black sword's world‑ending frequency was contaminating the quantum sword core.
"Eliminate the source of contamination!" Purple Sky True Person bit his tongue and spurted life blood to draw a Taiyi Purification World Talisman. The moment the talisman touched the black sword, the Guardian's chest split open, revealing a withered universe beating within: "We've been waiting for this move!"
The phantom of the black‑haired infant rose from the core of the universe, and the Taiyi Talisman was transformed into an entropy bomb. Jun's mycelial network overloaded instantly, its red eyes exploding into a blood mist: "He is rewriting the laws!"
Ao Li's Dragon Horn suddenly pierced his own temple, pulling out a bundle of nerves tangled with sacred script: "Use the soul as a guide, summon the ancestral Dragon!" Chaotic Spirit Marrow erupted in response, and seventy‑two Dragon Souls burst from the remains of a Temporal Whale, their tails interlocking to encircle the withered universe.
The Guardian's black sword suddenly softened, its blade sprouting billions of mycelial tentacles. Lín Jìn's vermilion phoenix scarf, wrapped around his Star‑sand‑infused right hand, thrust into the tangle of tentacles, and a lingering Hēidòng silhouette of the ruin emerged in the raging fire: "If cognition is existence, then I shall grant you… void!"
The instant the Hēidòng devoured the tentacles, the Dark Abyss Society leader's cold laugh echoed from every dimension. The pursuing reverse‑meme guard suddenly self‑detonated, and Probability Cloud contamination seeped backward through the Dragon Flame wormhole. Xing Zhi's navigation wing burned to its base, and with its final feather lit the Gui Xu lighthouse: "Jump into the cognitive blind spot! Now!"
Ao Li cradled the unconscious Lín Jìn and leapt into the quantum foam, his Boundary‑cutting Blade carving a scar behind him that severed causality. Jun wove a cognitive filter net with his remaining mycelium, but at the moment of crossing it was pierced in the heart by the black sword: "Found… the nest's…"
Her Last Testament turned into entropy flow spores, planting a locator beacon inside the Guardian's body. Purple Sky True Person detonated the Benming Sword Soul, freezing the pursuing Holy Skeleton puppet within the Space‑Time Amber. As the group fell out of the dark matter storm, the Bronze Sea surface reflected a horrifying truth— in the intelligence crystal they retrieved, the black‑haired infant was smiling at the camera.
Ao Li's Dragon Scale was crystallizing into Holy Skeleton material, and the Star‑sand‑transmutation in Lín Jìn's embrace had spread to his collarbone. Xing Zhi's navigation wing was reduced to a charred skeleton, yet still pointed toward the new flickering candle deep within Gui Xu. Behind them, Jun's entropy flow spores blossomed in the Dark Abyss Society's nest, forming a blood‑colored Star Chart that spanned the Twelve Dimensions.
"This isn't a retreat…" Ao Li wiped the Golden Blood from his mouth corner, and from the crack in the Chaotic Spirit Marrow seeped the Twin's babble, "It's the beacon of a new campaign."
In the distance the Bronze Sea suddenly boiled, and three hundred sixty coffins opened simultaneously. Within the starlight projected by the coffins, the silver‑haired infant was teaching the black‑haired infant how to tie a bow on the withered universe.
