Chapter 1177

"Return to the Void·Star Silence!"

He points his finger like a sword, a sword point thrust out! This time, the sword light is not a vast river, but extremely condensed, turning into a gray-white and Chaos intertwined, minute as dust needle! This needle condenses the utmost annihilation of the Return to the Void sword intent, the stellar origin of the source star core, and a wisp of the Silence Extinction true intent comprehended from the Eye of Star Fall!

Speed so fast it surpasses divine sense capture! Soundless and silent, ignoring spatial distance, it appears directly before the Eternal Dark Envoy's brow!

The Eternal Dark Envoy's arrogant gaze was instantly replaced by utter shock! He never expected Han Wuxian to strike so decisively and ruthlessly, nor did he expect this strike to be so bizarre and terrifying!

"Dark Extinction Shield!" he bellowed, a thick, substance-like gray shield erupted around his body, its surface covered with countless wailing faces like vengeful spirits!

Hiss!

The fine needle lightly touched the shield.

Without a loud bang, the seemingly solid Dark Extinction shield burst like a bubble pricked by a needle, instantly vanishing to form a hole! The needle's power slightly diminished, yet it still precisely shot toward his brow!

"Shift Stars and Change the Dipper!" the Eternal Dark Envoy, terrified out of his wits, burned his essence blood without hesitation, performed a life-saving secret art, forcibly twisting and shifting his body!

Pfft!

The fine needle failed to hit his brow, but instantly pierced his left shoulder! A horrible wound appeared; gray blood had not yet spilled, yet the flesh, meridians, and even soul fragments at the wound began to rapidly vanish!

"Ah!" the Eternal Dark Envoy let out a piercing scream, his body recoiling violently, he looked in horror at his left shoulder continually disappearing; no matter how he activated Silence Extinction power, he could not stop the spread of annihilation, and could only desperately amputate his arm to survive!

With one strike, he was severely wounded at mid Void Refinement!

This scene not only stunned the four Divine Transformation cultivators behind the Eternal Dark Envoy, but even Tian Shuzi sucked in a breath of cold air!

He knew Han Wuxian's strength had greatly increased after obtaining an opportunity, but he never imagined it could be this terrifying! This is mid Void Refinement after all!

The battle formation formed by those four Divine Transformation cultivators fell into slight disorder due to their leader's severe injury.

"Kill!" how could Tian Shuzi miss this opportunity? The Stellar Seal crashed down like a thunderbolt, starlight pouring like a waterfall!

Han Wuxian stepped forward, his Star Patrol Torch held high, the Purifying Light Pillar like a spear of judgment sweeping across! At the same time, his Return to the Void Sword Domain expanded, enveloping all four Divine Transformation cultivators!

Crushing! Utterly crushing!

Having lost their leader and their courage shattered by Han Wuxian's terrifying strike, the four late Divine Transformation Eternal Dark cultivators, under the combined assault of Tian Shuzi and Han Wuxian, barely lasted less than ten breaths before being successively crushed by the Stellar Seal, evaporated by the Purifying Light Pillar, and annihilated by the Return to the Void Sword Intent!

Seeing this, the severely wounded Eternal Dark Envoy's gallbladder burst, he lost all will to fight, turning into a gray light trying to flee into the depths of the abyss.

"Stay!" Han Wuxian snorted coldly, the source star core's light blazed forth, stirring the surrounding spatial laws!

"Void Seal!"

The space around the Eternal Dark Envoy instantly turned into a quagmire, his speed plummeting.

Tian Shuzi's Stellar Seal had already come down upon his head!

"No!! The Holy Star will——" the desperate roar cut off abruptly.

This mid Void Refinement Eternal Dark Envoy, together with his remnant soul, was completely subdued by the Stellar Seal, turning to flying ash.

At this moment, the seven outer formation eyes were also successively broken by Yun Chen and others, the gray-black domain shrouding the Ice Abyss surged violently, then suddenly weakened.

However, before anyone could catch their breath.

The entire Ten-thousand-year Profound Ice Abyss suddenly shook violently and wildly!

Compared to before, the Silence Extinction stellar killing intent, tenfold, a hundredfold stronger, surged up like an erupting volcano from the bottom of the abyss! Accompanied by an indescribable, ancient, icy, deathly still, terrifying will that seemed able to devour all light!

Humm!

A non-human, non-beast low growl, like from myriad ancient star skeletons, echoed from the deepest depths of the abyss, shaking everyone's souls and causing their qi and blood to surge!

Tian Shuzi's face changed drastically: "Not good! They……they actually really awakened a part of the……that extraterrestrial star's……remnant consciousness sleeping at the bottom of the Ice Abyss?!"

Han Wuxian's pupils also shrank sharply, the source star core transmitted a strong warning and……a hint of strange resonance?

He felt that the awakened terrifying existence, its core essential power, actually shared a certain common origin with his Return to the Void Sword Intent and the Silence Extinction origin derived from the source star core, yet it was far more primal, frenzied, and filled with a desire for destruction.

The icy plain beneath his feet began to collapse on a large scale, huge cracks spread like a spiderweb, the entire northern domain seemed to tremble!

An icy, chaotic, greed-filled thought swept over the whole field, finally locking tightly onto Han Wuxian……or rather, onto the source star core within his dantian!

"Source……Star……Devour……"

The fragmented thoughts directly struck everyone's sea of consciousness!

"It wants the source star core!" Tian Shuzi exclaimed in shock.

Boom—rumble!

A colossal hand condensed from ten-thousand-year profound ice and Silence Extinction stellar killing intent thrust out from the depths of the abyss, blotting out the sky and sun, it grabbed fiercely at Han Wuxian! Wherever it passed, space froze and all things withered!

The crisis instantly rose to an unprecedented level!

What they would face was no longer merely Eternal Dark cultivators, but the awakened will of a heavenly extraterrestrial star remnant that was dead yet not stiff, filled with malice!

The Ice Killing Giant Hand condensed from the will of the star remnant blotting out the sky and sun, carrying the terrifying power to freeze souls and annihilate all things, it ruthlessly grabbed at Han Wuxian! Its might far surpassed that of the previous Eternal Dark Envoy, almost reaching the level of late Void Refinement!

Tian Shuzi's face turned deathly pale, he frantically activated the Stellar Seal to block it, but the seal's light was continually frozen and eroded by the giant hand's extreme cold and Silence Extinction aura, making it hard to be fully effective!

"Be careful, little friend!" he could only shout anxiously.

Facing this terrifying strike, Han Wuxian fell into a strange state. The icy will of the star remnant struck his sea of consciousness, the source star core trembled violently; it was not purely fear, but also conveyed a strange sense of resonance—encountering a "kindred spirit" yet utterly different!

His Return to the Void Sword Intent inherently walks the path to Silence Extinction and end. The source star core is moreover the embodiment of the stellar birth-and-death origin. While this extraterrestrial remnant is a concrete manifestation of having reached the endpoint of Silence Extinction, another meaning of "Return to the Void"!

It is destruction, and……nourishment?

In the flash of lightning and sparks, an extremely bold, nearly crazy thought flashed through Han Wuxian's mind!

He chose neither to hard-resist nor to dodge, but instead performed an action that left Tian Shuzi stunned—he actively dispelled most of his bodily defenses, using only the source star core's pure radiance to protect his heart and spirit, while fully circulating his Return to the Void Sword Essence and adjusting its nature to be as similar as possible to that giant hand that had grabbed him!

Then he spread his arms, as if……welcoming that destructive hand!

"Little Han! No!" Tian Shuzi exclaimed in horror.

Boom!!

The Ice Killing Giant Hand ruthlessly grasped Han Wuxian in its palm! Extreme cold and Silence Extinction stellar killing intent instantly engulfed him!

"It's over……" Tian Shuzi felt his heart turn cold.

But the next moment, an abrupt change occurred!

The clenched giant hand did not crush or freeze Han Wuxian; instead it trembled violently! On its surface, the gray-black Ice Killing power surged into Han Wuxian's body like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!

No, it's not a surge, it's being Devoured! Being forcibly extracted!

Han Wuxian's body seemed to become an endless black hole, crazily Devouring the power of the giant hand! Their complexion instantly turned ashen, a thick gray‑black frost condensed on the surface, the body continuously cracked, yet under that frantic Devouring force and the restoration of the Source Star Core it kept reconstituting! The process was excruciatingly painful, but their eyes shone unusually bright, even with a hint of frenzy!

Han Wuxian is marching in peril! Han Wuxian is using the characteristics of the Source Star Core and the Return to Ruin Sword Dao to forcibly Assimilate and Devour the power of this alien wreckage!
