Chapter 355: Void Descends! Karl's Mysterious Ancient Tome! Live Broadcast!

Shadow World.

It has now become a void zone, or more precisely, the entire Shadow World has collapsed!

All the Void Warriors, including Nusa's puppet duplicate and Karl's trusted aide Sinuo, have become sacrificial offerings of the Void's descent.

A massive fissure, comparable to a star, stretches across the crumbling center of the Shadow World.

Within the fissure lies a violet‑black realm, shrouded in mystery and exuding an unknown terror.

Far away, an angelic army led by Yan stands in strict formation, each face solemn beyond measure.

"Queen, what shall we do?"

Zhui the angel hurried to Yan's side, his voice trembling slightly.

Although angels never fear a powerful foe, the scene before them now makes every cell in her tremble.

Yan inhaled deeply, gritted his teeth and said, "Chu Yang? What is he still waiting for?"

Zhui pursed his lips and said, "Pan Gu has already received the message we sent; Chu Yang may be on his way…"

"Nonsense!" Yan's face darkened, "He is the strongest deity in the universe! He could get here from Earth in less than ten minutes!"

"But it's already been half an hour since the Void's descent!"

"That bastard wants to use all the angels as cannon fodder!"

Watching the Shadow World on the brink of total annihilation, even Yan couldn't keep his composure at this moment.

They had just witnessed, with their own eyes, the Void Warriors and Karl's researchers being swept by a beam of light from the void fissure, instantly turning into "sculptures" and losing all signs of life!

Immediately afterward, their bodies dissolved rapidly, devoured by the void!

It was an unimaginable force; even Yan felt a deep sense of helplessness.

She even thought that Chu Yang had been too arrogant before! Even if he is the strongest deity in the universe, facing the void's unknown terrifying power, he would likely be powerless to resist.

"The illustrious angel queen, and she still speaks ill of others behind their backs?"

A teasing voice rang out, and Yan was slightly taken aback.

Looking at the back, indistinguishable from an ordinary person, and the oddly mismatched casual attire, Yan inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.

Not only her, but the angels behind also felt the pressure on them lighten.

Chu Yang alone managed to block the entire impact brought by the void!

This effect is the void's absolute negative influence on primary‑universe beings; even the strongest deity, if not transcended beyond the concept of primary‑universe beings, will have every cell tremble, just like Zhui the angel just now.

Yet Chu Yang not only ignored this threat, he even managed to fully intercept it! Could it be that…

He has already transcended the three‑dimensional cosmic biological level to become a higher‑dimensional being? The thought just rose, and Yan couldn't help shaking his head.

That is absolutely impossible, because if Chu Yang became a higher‑dimensional being, he could no longer operate in the three‑dimensional world; Jilan is an example.

"Some matters on the road arrived in time…"

Chu Yang stared at the massive void fissure, did not look back, and whispered, "Yan, lead the troops back to the 19th defensive line!"

"Leave the rest to me!"

At this point, Chu Yang paused, then added, "I've already greeted Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao and granted He Xi partial Pan Gu permissions."

"If the 19th defensive line is breached, angels can at any time use Pan Gu to perform large‑scale long‑distance wormhole jumps, relocating to the Red Crow star system!"

With the Shadow World collapsed, this place became a node linking the void and the primary universe; even if Chu Yang can block the powerful entities within the void, the angels, being at the forefront, will still face immense pressure.

Chu Yang has essentially paved a fallback for the angels.

After all, as long as the life force hasn't been severely damaged, even if the Angel Nebula is temporarily abandoned, rebuilding it later won't be difficult.

Yan glanced at the void fissure, inhaled deeply and said, "I guess you still have a conscience!"

Chu Yang twitched his mouth, "Don't act like a resentful concubine; I don't want Xiao Lun to misunderstand!"

Yan let out a cold snort, ignored him, waved his hand and ordered the angels to retreat.

After the angelic legion withdrew in order, Zhui began to open a spatial wormhole, awaiting Yan's next command.

Yan glanced at Chu Yang, his tone grave, and said, "You bear the weight of the entire known universe; you should know the stakes!"

"Besides…"

She hesitated, and in her icy tone added a teasing edge, "Don't die; the Celestial Base King's soul is almost being drawn away by you…"

"If you die, she might do something crazy!"

It sounded like teasing, but Chu Yang understood that Yan was still bitter about He Xi's quiet departure from the Angel King's city to follow him to the Tianyang star system.

Tilting his head slightly, watching Yan and Zhui enter the wormhole, Chu Yang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Sure enough, any woman, regardless of status or power, shares one common trait…

It's holding grudges! Retracting his gaze, Chu Yang looked again at the void fissure, squinting slightly.

On the way here earlier, he indeed had some matters—not a trouble, but the resurrection of a leopard.

During this process, Chu Yang discovered a crucial issue.

That is, primary‑universe beings that fall under the void's power leave no trace; even their life data and genetic code vanish.

The feeling is like…

Everything is devoured by the void! Chu Yang could only, using Pan Gu's data backup, reconstruct a body for the leopard, enabling its revival.

Of course, a body without a soul is merely a walking corpse.

Fortunately, Chu Yang always acts cautiously, having already extracted a strand of each person's soul nearby and sealed them away.

Although these souls cannot be taken into the Soul Palace, they are stored on Earth, strictly guarded by Earth's higher authorities.

In the known universe, there is absolutely no place safer than Earth.

"Karl, shouldn't we meet as well?"

Chu Yang's voice was soft, yet it resonated throughout this stretch of cosmic space.

Come to think of it, the only time he ever met Karl was back on Emerald Star.

At that time, Karl focused all his attention on Kaisa, while Chu Yang was researching Void power and the explosion of a supernova, and the two did not communicate much.

As Chu Yang's words fell, an illusory figure slowly appeared before the Void rift, and an ancient book hovered before him.

The book's cover was filled with the aura of age, even giving a sense of decay and ruin.

Chu Yang's pupils contracted slightly, his intuition telling him that the ancient book was likely related to prehistoric civilization! "Chu Yang, you're too arrogant."

Karl's voice was calm, as if he had never held past grudges against Chu Yang in his heart. "Oh?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow, shook his head and smiled: "You seem to have never understood the situation from beginning to end..."

Karl was stunned.

He had always thought that Chu Yang, out of arrogance, wanted to solve the Void threat at its root, which was why he allowed himself to connect to the Void.

Even Chu Yang spared no effort to help with this, restraining the angels.

"Actually, you're not wrong; I indeed want to eliminate the hidden danger of the Void..."

Chu Yang said softly: "But that's only one of the purposes."

"Perhaps the Void, to the known universe, represents ultimate fear..."

"But as long as I'm here, do you think the Void can threaten the known universe?"

Karl shook his head and laughed: "So I say, you're too arrogant!"

"I'm stating a fact…… no need to argue with you……"

Chu Yang waved his hand: "I allowed you to conduct research not only for the known universe, but also for the Void!"

Karl's expression changed abruptly, and once again he experienced intense emotional fluctuations because of Chu Yang.

"You... you want to explore the Void?" Karl looked utterly incredulous.

Even though his research on the Void had reached such a height, he dared not explore the Void; he could only pursue his 'truth' by invoking the descent of ultimate fear.

"The Void certainly has great value for me, but I am more curious about history..." Chu Yang wore a smiling, squinting expression.

Karl fell silent, only now realizing how great Chu Yang's ambition was! Studying the Void, he merely sought to prove that prehistoric civilization once existed, to verify ultimate fear, and at the same time pursue true 'freedom'.

In Karl's view, the known universe is merely a prison of the gods, with everyone shackled by the gods.

He wanted to break the shackles, burst out of the prison, and let the entire universe achieve absolute freedom through death.

To Chu Yang, Karl's theories are all nonsense!

Damn it……

They're already dead, and even more completely annihilated by the Void's power—what's there to talk about regarding 'freedom'?

Karl felt that his pursuit of truth was already crazy enough, but compared to Chu Yang, it was nothing short of a petty witch seeing a great witch.

Historical truth?

Even if only some clues about prehistoric civilization were discovered, it would already fill Karl with awe; how terrifying would the historical truth be? Gathering his somewhat chaotic thoughts, Karlsen took a breath, his eyes cold and sharp as he said: "Saying more is useless; I want to see whether the strongest god in the universe can block the descent of the Void!"

Chu Yang gave a heh heh laugh, said no more, and watched the purple-black energy surging in the Void rift as the Primordial Qi within his body began to circulate rapidly.

Before, he had used Soul Force to probe, but found that Soul Force struggled to move within the Void rift and could not detect any signs of life.

But now he truly felt several strong auras coming from the depths of the Void, rapidly approaching the rift.

Indeed, there were living beings in the Void! "Chu Yang, let us together witness the descent of ultimate fear!"

Karl suddenly burst into manic laughter, arms spread, his phantom body violently fluctuating unstably.

At the same time, the pages of the ancient book before him fluttered, bursting forth with a azure light, faintly transmitting the anguished howls of countless wicked ghosts and specters.

Runes surged on the cover of the ancient book, a vast Soul Force sweeping out and instantly wrapping Karl's phantom body.

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes, and through his powerful Soul Force he discovered that the Void creatures rushing toward the rift's entrance now had a slight connection with Karl.

It was as if……

Karl, through that ancient book, controlled those Void creatures!

"No wonder you dare to connect to the Void without fear……"

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes, even he was somewhat surprised that Karl actually possessed such a treasure.

He became even more convinced that the ancient book came from prehistoric civilization and was undoubtedly a supreme treasure no weaker than the Ascension Talisman! Runes!

As Chu Yang's understanding of prehistoric civilization grew, he discovered a crucial problem……

That is, in the supergod universe where technology reigns supreme, the power that surpasses technology seems to be the runes!

But almost no civilization can peek into and master the runes.

So far, the only things Chu Yang has seen that can perfectly unleash rune power are the Ascension Talisman and the ancient book in Karl's hand.

Either one is inseparably linked to prehistoric civilization! So……

It seems that after the runes were buried by history and the universe entered the Age of Dharma Decline, higher intelligent beings, in order to control the universe, gave rise to technology? This speculation let Chu Yang faintly understand Karl's mad behavior.

If only the known universe developed technology due to the Age of Dharma Decline, then where does the power of the Void creatures come from?

Eighty percent likely related to the runes! In this light, Karl's claim that the known universe is a prison under the gods' control seems not without reason.

After all, without the restraints of gods and technology, when the Void connects with the main universe, perhaps the rune power could truly rise again.

But this price…… is simply too great!

To let all living beings in the known universe be buried as sacrifices—even if rune power rises again, what meaning would it have? By then, the rulers of the universe would likely be only the Void creatures and entities like Karl's phantom body.

While his thoughts raced, Chu Yang quietly awaited the descent of the Void creatures.

The Shadow World was about to be completely annihilated; after the Void devoured everything in the Shadow World, it would inevitably be insatiable.

That is when the Void will launch a full-scale invasion of the main universe! "Chu Yang, let us see who will truly be the other's stepping stone!"

Karl laughed maniacally, wanting to step on Chu Yang to pursue the truth he sought.

Chu Yang, meanwhile, wanted to step on him to glimpse the secrets of the Void's depths!

But Karl didn't know that Chu Yang had already connected via Pan Gu to the Bottom-End Information Interconnection System at this time.

The scene here was also being broadcast live to every corner of the universe! Wherever technology covered, all beings of the known universe could watch the live stream!

However, people could not hear the sound, only see the image.

But even so, the fear brought by the Void still lingered in everyone's hearts.

In just over half an hour, the entire Shadow World was actually completely obliterated by the power seeping out from the Void Rift! Countless gazes were focused on the virtual projection, on that somewhat tiny figure.

Only this Supreme God of the Universe could possibly block the Void's descent.

No matter the final outcome, when Chu Yang stepped forward and faced danger alone, he already deserved the worship of all beings in the universe.

Thus, in just a brief moment, the majestic power of faith filled the entire Ascension Talisman!
