Chapter 1178

This is no different from drinking poison to quench thirst! If he cannot withstand the impact of this force, or if his own Dao Heart is contaminated by the chaotic will of the remnant corpse, he will instantly turn to ashes, even becoming a new vessel for that remnant corpse's will!

Roar!!!

The will of the remnant corpse of the stars deep in the abyss also didn't expect this tiny creature to dare to devour its power in return, letting out a roar mixed with shock and anger! The huge hand flailed wildly, trying to shake off Han Wuxian, but as if sucked by a magnet, it could not break free at all! Instead, because of the struggle, its power drained even faster!

"This… this is…" Heavenly Pivot Master stared, dumbfounded, then reacted, his eyes bursting with incredible light: "He's devouring the remnant corpse's power?! A madman! Truly a madman!"

But he immediately realized, this was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!

"Yun Chen! All you Elders! Help me set up the Zhou Tian Star Lock Grand Formation! Seal the abyss entrance, suppress the remnant corpse's will, buy time for Little Friend Han!" Heavenly Pivot Master roared, ignoring his injuries, he hung the Star Seal high at the abyss entrance, scattering endless starlight, which transformed into countless order divine chains, probing into the abyss, entwining toward that restless remnant corpse's main body!

Yun Chen and the three Elders also reacted immediately, suppressing their injuries, spreading out to the four directions, forming hand seals, they activated the remaining ice plain spirit veins and their own stellar power, cooperating with the Star Seal, they laid out a vast starlight net, firmly pressing down on the surging Silence Extinction Star Fiend!

"Ants! How dare you trap me?!" The remnant corpse's will flew into a rage, madly assaulting the formation; the star locks kept shattering, the pressure on Heavenly Pivot Master and the others doubled, they vomited blood repeatedly, yet they held firm!

At this moment, Han Wuxian was in an extremely delicate and dangerous state.

A vast amount of pure yet icy, dead-cold alien stellar power surged into his body, nearly bursting him and freezing him solid. The remnant corpse contained chaotic, frenzied, destruction-desire-filled will that incessantly struck his primordial spirit, attempting to assimilate him.

He clung to the last trace of lucidity in his mind, fully circulating the Myriad Tribulations Return to the Void Scripture! The cultivation method ran at an unprecedented speed, frenziedly refining and purifying the inflowing deathly still star calamity, transforming it into the most primordial Silence Extinction sword essence! The core of the source star in his dantian spun to the extreme, like a millstone grinding those chaotic wills, leaving only the purest essence of power!

His body continuously cycled through destruction and rebirth, meridians shattering again and again, then being reshaped by newly born, stronger sword essences! In his sea of consciousness, the imagined void image of the wordless star monument shone brightly, suppressing himself and consolidating his Dao Heart.

This is an extremely painful process, and also an astonishing transformation!

He could feel his cultivation rising at a visible speed! The barrier of mid-stage Void Shattering instantly broke, reaching late stage, and still advancing toward perfection of Void Shattering! The Return to the Void sword essence became purer and more terrifying, bearing the ultimate icy cold and deathly still traits from the star corpse! His physical strength leapt as well.

I don't know how long passed—perhaps just an instant, or perhaps ages.

When that enormous ice calamity hand became utterly illusory and was finally completely Devoured and absorbed by Han Wuxian

Han Wuxian suddenly opened his eyes!

In his pupils no longer was the birth and death of stars, but a deep, bottomless, icy void! His aura vast yet inwardly contracted, like a black hole that had devoured everything, he had indeed reached the perfection of Void Shattering! Only one opportunity away from peeking into the Gate of Void Refinement.

He lowered his head to look at his palm, a gentle grip, and the surrounding space silently collapsed and froze.

"Thank you…… for the hospitality." He looked down into the abyss, revealing a cold smile.

The will of the star corpse remnant seemed utterly enraged, also sensing a hint of fear! It let out an earth-shaking roar, the entire ice abyss bottom began to wildly bulge, as if some colossal thing were about to burst forth completely!

"Young friend!" Tian Shuzi shouted anxiously, they could barely hold on!

Han Wuxian took a deep breath, feeling the surging, brand-new power within his body. He slowly raised his hand; the power of the source star core, the patrol star torch, and the Return to the Void sword essence united and coalesced unprecedentedly.

He pointed with his fingers like a sword; at the tip, an ultimate darkness condensed, within that darkness a point of primordial star light glittered.

"Your power belongs to me now. Your will should also dissipate."

"This sword is named——Silence Extinction·Return to Origin."

He pointed a finger toward the bottom of the abyss.

There was no earth-shaking momentum, only a fine thread of darkness that seemed able to devour all light, silently sinking into the boiling depths of the ice abyss.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Next moment.

The entire ten-thousand-year profound ice abyss suddenly contracted inward a bit!

All the erupting Silence Extinction star calamity, the terrifying remnant will's roar, and the rising massive shadow, as if hit by a pause button, then surged back like a tide into the depths of the abyss.

Immediately after, a sound indescribable in words, a muffled annihilation to the extreme, came from underground!

The ice at the edge of the abyss instantly turned into the finest dust, then was wiped away by an invisible force.

That suffocating pressure, that frenzied will, vanished without a trace in an instant.

As if it had never existed.

Only remained a deeper, more deathly still ice abyss, at its bottom faintly visible a shattered, dim, massive star corpse remnant.

The arrangements of Eternal Darkness here, together with the partially awakened will of that star corpse, were completely…… Returned to the Void by Han Wuxian's supreme sword, which fused all of his own and Devoured the opponent's power!

Between heaven and earth, a deathly stillness.

Tian Shuzi, Yun Chen and others sat limp in midair, gazing at the bottomless ice abyss, then looking at Han Wuxian standing empty in the air, his aura unfathomable, their faces full of shock and disbelief.

One sword…… Silence Extinction remnant?

Han Wuxian slowly descended, his face slightly pale. That sword just now consumed greatly, yet was exhilarating.

He looked toward Tian Shuzi and said in a deep voice: "True Person, although the remnant will here is temporarily extinguished, its main body remains, ultimately a calamity. We must quickly unite all major sects, find a way to completely seal or purify this place."

Tian Shuzi came to his senses, looking at Han Wuxian with an extremely complex expression, finally letting out a long sigh, clasping his hands respectfully: "Han Xiao…… no, Han Dao friend! This grace and virtue, the beings of the Heavenly Yuan Realm dare not forget! I, representing the Star Pavilion, representing the beings of the Northern Territory, thank you, Dao friend!"

At this moment he already regarded Han Wuxian as a completely equal existence, even higher!

Han Wuxian helped him up: "It's my duty. The schemes of Eternal Darkness won't stop just like this; we must act quickly."

Just then, the source star core in his dantian suddenly gave a slight tremor, transmitting a fuzzy fragment of information from the last shard of the will of the annihilated corpse remnant.
