Within the domain, light was twisted and dim, as if covered by a layer of the dust of time. Space became viscous and sluggish; ordinary escape techniques were nearly ineffective here. Most heart-wrenching was the pervasive Dao rhyme of \"End\"—the spiritual light of magic treasures would spontaneously dim, protective spiritual power would quietly drain away, and vitality would accelerate its decay, as if all things were being forcibly pushed by an invisible hand toward their destined \"finish line.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those leaping, flickering gray-purple annihilation thunderbolts were like the sharpest executioners on this \"stage of the end,\" precisely seeking, entangling, and purifying all \"anomalies\" and \"evil spirits\"—to demonic creatures, this thunder was divine punishment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screams rose one after another. The several early-stage Nascent Soul demon generals who first broke into the Tribulation Domain bore the weight of dual terrifying pressures. The demonic energy on their surfaces melted away like ice and snow under a scorching sun, and their tough demonic bodies became withered and fragile at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they had endured thousands of years of wind erosion. Even more fatal were those gray-purple arcs; once they touched the body, they were like maggots on rotting bones, crazily burrowing into the body, scorching demonic essence, tearing apart demonic souls, and bringing extreme pain and annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two demon generals with weaker cultivation bases lasted less than ten breaths before, amidst desperate wails, their demonic bodies disintegrated inch by inch, turning into fly ash; they could not even leave behind their purest demonic cores, being completely swallowed and returned to the void by the Tribulation Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining demon generals were horrified, crazily driving their demonic essence to resist, attempting to break free from this terrifying domain. But under the suppression of that viscous space-time and the pervasive Dao rhyme of \"End,\" their movements were as slow as if trapped in a quagmire, and escaping became exceptionally difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar! A mere domain, break for this commander!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bone Scythe Demon Commander was both shocked and furious. After all, it possessed mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivation and vast demonic essence. Although it felt extremely uncomfortable within the Tribulation Domain and its demonic essence circulation was sluggish, it was not as pathetic as the low-level demon generals. It let out a wild roar, and the pale bone scythe in its hand erupted with monstrous demonic flames, forcibly splitting the viscous space. A pitch-black scythe shadow, more condensed and containing the law of tearing, slashed directly at Lin Xuan in the center of the domain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this strike, it utilized a portion of the laws of the Soul Transformation realm. The momentum was even greater than before, and wherever it passed, even the gray, hazy airflow within the Tribulation Domain was briefly torn open!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Xuan, situated at the core of the Tribulation Domain, seemed to have merged with the entire domain. His expression was calm; facing the scythe shadow of tearing laws, he merely raised his hand and gestured vaguely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tribulation power like a tide, ten thousand laws return to the void.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Tribulation Domain, the pervasive Dao rhyme of \"End\" suddenly converged, like an invisible tide, surging layer upon layer toward that pitch-black scythe shadow. The law of tearing contained within the scythe shadow rapidly blurred and faded under the scouring of this power of \"End\" that targeted existence itself. At the same time, countless gray-purple thunderbolts within the domain were drawn in, like a school of piranhas smelling blood, swarming over to entangle the scythe shadow and erupting with blinding light of purification!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sizzle—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A teeth-grinding sound of dissolution echoed through the domain. That aggressive scythe shadow of laws, under the dual strangulation of the tribulation power tide and the annihilation thunderbolts, saw its forward momentum rapidly decay and its volume shrink continuously. Finally, when it was still three zhang away from Lin Xuan, it completely collapsed, reverting to chaotic demonic energy, and was immediately swallowed and digested by the Tribulation Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is this possible?!\" The Bone Scythe Demon Commander’s scarlet eyes widened, and stormy seas surged in its heart. This strike of its contained a rudimentary application of the laws of heaven and earth from the Soul Transformation realm, yet it was forcibly worn down and disintegrated by the opponent using domain power in a way it could not understand at all (the concepts of returning to the void and the end)! This already exceeded the confrontation of power levels and involved the deeper essence of the Great Dao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This domain is strange! Cannot be fought head-on! Scatter! Bombard the boundary of the domain from a distance!\" a calmer late-stage Nascent Soul demon general shouted sternly. It saw that the core of this domain was Lin Xuan in the center and that its range was limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining demon generals, upon hearing this, immediately endured their discomfort and one after another unleashed long-range demonic arts, either spitting demonic flames, throwing demonic artifacts, or condensing demonic light, bombarding the edge of the Tribulation Domain from all directions, attempting to break the situation with quantity and forcibly exhaust or shatter this bizarre domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bone Scythe Demon Commander also reacted, no longer attempting a close-quarters assault, but instead brandishing its bone scythe, slashing out torrents of demonic energy containing various negative laws such as death, corrosion, and chaos, pouring down like a rainstorm toward the Tribulation Domain, especially toward where Lin Xuan himself was located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this saturated long-range bombardment, Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. Maintaining such a large-scale Chaos Tribulation Domain was no small consumption for him. Moreover, although the Tribulation Domain could weaken and transform attacks, it could not completely digest them without damage when facing such dense bombardment containing different law characteristics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts turned rapidly. Behind him, the Chaos Star Dharma Idol held its hands in a void embrace, forming a seal of \"containment\" and \"transformation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tribulation Sea Vortex, absorb!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of the Tribulation Domain, the gray, hazy airflow suddenly accelerated its rotation, forming a huge vortex. Within the vortex, faint phantoms of the beginning of chaos and the birth and death of stars emerged, emitting a vast artistic conception of swallowing all things and containing all laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the incoming demonic energy, demonic flames, and demonic light, after being weakened upon touching the outer perimeter of the Tribulation Domain, were attracted and pulled by this huge vortex of tribulation power, falling into it. The vortex rotated slowly, like an efficient digestive organ, forcibly decomposing and shattering these mixed and violent demonic energies. The pure destructive energy within was absorbed by the Tribulation Domain to maintain its operation or even feed back into itself, while the chaotic, corrosive, and other negative laws and impurities were repelled and ground away, turning into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was exactly another characteristic of Chaos Tribulation power—using chaos as a base, it can contain all power; using tribulation fate as a guide, it can transform all laws!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a portion of the attacks still penetrated the vortex's pull and struck the boundary of the domain, causing ripples and making Lin Xuan’s face turn slightly pale, overall, the Tribulation Domain was as stable as a rock, receiving and digesting all attacks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene once again made all onlookers inside and outside the battlefield sway in spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... what kind of divine ability is this? It can actually turn the enemy's attacks into its own use?\" Star Palace’s Beichen tightened his grip on his sword, his eyes filled with disbelief. Star Palace techniques also emphasized borrowing the power of stars, but such a domineering method of directly decomposing, absorbing, and transforming the enemy's power was unheard of!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good lad! That’s the spirit!\" Giant Spirit Sect’s Yan Gang laughed heartily while swinging his twin hammers to smash a demonized giant whale, his eyes full of appreciation. \"This domain is tough! And wicked! I like it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Profound Ice Pavilion’s Ling Shuang gazed at the blue-gray Tribulation Domain, a strange light appearing in her cold eyes: \"Chaos... Tribulation... Annihilation and rebirth... This person’s Dao actually has a few points of the same destination as the 'Profound Ice Annihilation Dao' I cultivate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eunuch Wei let out a long sigh of relief, his heart settled, and he became more focused on commanding the Sea-Suppressing Guards to clear out the outer beast tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Shattered Star Island, the Sect Master of Green Wave Sect and other defenders were even more stirred, their morale greatly boosted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the demon generals trapped in the Tribulation Domain, their moods plummeted to the bottom. Their strongest long-range bombardment methods were like clay oxen entering the sea; not only did they fail to break the domain, but they seemed to... strengthen the opponent? This feeling of frustration and powerlessness made them nearly go mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bone Scythe Demon Commander’s face was so gloomy it could drip water. It knew it could not go on like this. This human lad bearing the bizarre Chaos Tribulation power was far more difficult to deal with than expected. If it did not take him down today, not only would the mission fail, but it might even perish here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of ruthlessness and determination crossed its eyes. It bit the tip of its tongue, spitting out a mouthful of dark purple demonic blood exuding a rich aura of origin, which landed on the pale bone scythe in its hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With my demonic blood, I sacrifice my soul! Respectfully invite... the projection of my Lord’s will!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bone scythe suddenly erupted with blinding dark purple light. A terrifying will, far more ancient, vast, and evil than the Bone Scythe Demon Commander itself, seemed to be summoned from the endless, distant void and descended here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bone Scythe Demon Commander’s aura withered instantly, but the bone scythe in its hand seemed to come alive, emitting an excited hum. On the scythe, a blurry phantom, carrying an indifference that looked down upon all living beings and endless greed, slowly emerged. Although it was only a tiny wisp of a will projection, its level already surpassed Soul Transformation, reaching Void Refinement or even higher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The will of the Abyss Demon Consciousness itself! Although far less powerful than the one that descended during the Battle of the Imperial Capital, it was still heart-shaking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phantom’s gaze locked onto Lin Xuan in the center of the Tribulation Domain for the first time, emitting a vague but blasphemous and longing mental fluctuation: \"Chaos... Tribulation... Delicious... Swallow...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Locked by this gaze, Lin Xuan’s hair stood on end, and a huge sense of crisis stemming from life’s instinct instantly enveloped his whole body! The Chaos Tribulation Crystal trembled violently, and the Tribulation Domain fluctuated along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally... couldn't help but use your trump card?\" Lin Xuan took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his heart, his eyes becoming incomparably sharp. He knew the real test had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the bone scythe phantom was about to swing, releasing an irresistible demonic might—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hum!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slight but exceptionally clear sword hum sounded from the smaller warship behind the joint fleet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sword hum was not high-pitched, but it carried a strange power that pierced the heart, as if it could cut through confusion and pierce through falsehood. The moment the sound rang out, the pervasive roars of demonic thoughts and the beast tide on the battlefield seemed to dim for an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan, who was preparing to deal with the demon consciousness projection with all his might, felt a slight stir in his heart and swept his spiritual sense over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that on the deck of that warship, Zhao Yuan had stood up at some point. He gripped the pitch-black broken sword \"Shadow of Silence\" with both hands. His originally calm face was now covered in fine beads of sweat, but his eyes were as sharp as a drawn blade, staring fixedly at the bone scythe in the distant Tribulation Domain that was emitting terrifying demonic might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the broken sword \"Shadow of Silence,\" that dark golden fine line, which had originally only spread for an inch, was now spreading upward by a full three inches as if it were a living thing! Although the dark golden light was not dazzling, it was exceptionally solid and tough, as if an unyielding law brand had been carved onto the pitch-black sword body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more strangely, the broken sword itself began to emit a weak but incomparably pure intent of \"severing\"! This was not aimed at a physical entity, but seemed as if it could sever energy, sever connections, and even... sever some kind of \"summoning\" and \"descent\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yuan himself seemed to be in a strange state. He felt an unprecedentedly close connection with the broken sword in his hand, as if he could hear the weak but tenacious \"heartbeat\" coming from deep within the sword body. A cold, sharp power full of protection and determination was feeding back from the sword body into his body, blending like milk and water with his own dark and gold dual-attribute spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power did not cause his cultivation base to skyrocket, but it gave him a unique ability of \"insight\" and \"locking.\" In his perception, there existed an extremely fine but incomparably important \"causal line\" or \"summoning channel\" between the bone scythe in the distance and the phantom. It was through this \"line\" that the terrifying demonic consciousness will was able to project and descend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instinctively, Zhao Yuan was struck by a flash of inspiration. He poured all of his newly fused spiritual power, which carried the \"severing\" characteristic, into the \"Shadow of Silence\" broken sword without reservation, and with all his might, he slashed remotely at that invisible \"line\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no earth-shattering sword energy, not even a noticeable fluctuation of spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a barely perceptible dark golden fine line, existing between the virtual and the real, shot out quietly from the tip of the broken sword, ignoring spatial distance, instantly crossing the battlefield, and sinking into the Chaos Tribulation Domain, precisely \"cutting\" between the bone scythe and that terrifying phantom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ssh—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if a hot knife had cut through butter, or as if a lute string had snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invisible channel that maintained the descent of the demon consciousness projection was actually forcibly severed by this sudden sword strike, which contained the strange law of \"severing\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the bone scythe, the demonic consciousness phantom that had just condensed and had not yet fully exerted its power trembled violently, emitting a vague, angry, and shocked hiss, and then, like a kite with a broken string, it instantly became extremely unstable, its light flickering and rapidly dimming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No—!\" The Bone Scythe Demon Commander let out a desperate roar. The projection of its master’s will, which it had only managed to summon by sacrificing its origin, was actually... severed by a human Golden Core lad it hadn't even taken seriously, using a broken sword?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden turn of events not only caught the Bone Scythe Demon Commander off guard but also made Lin Xuan’s eyes flash with brilliance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A good opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not hesitate at all; strike while the iron is hot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the Chaos Tribulation Domain was driven to the extreme by him. The tribulation power vortex rotated crazily, firmly sucking and suppressing the Bone Scythe Demon Commander, whose aura had plummeted due to the interruption of the projection! At the same time, he pointed his fingers like a sword, and the gray-purple annihilation thunder tribulation power at his fingertips condensed to the extreme, turning into a slender thunder tribulation sword beam that seemed capable of piercing everything and ending everything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Annihilation Thunder Tribulation Sword—Break the Void!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thunder tribulation sword beam was faster than spiritual sense could capture. It arrived first despite being launched later. In the Bone Scythe Demon Commander’s terrified eyes, it ignored the layers of demonic energy defenses it had hastily set up (which had already been greatly weakened in the Tribulation Domain) and precisely pierced into the demonic core at the center of its brow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah—!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scream so shrill it was indescribable echoed across the sea. Gray-purple thunder light erupted from within the Bone Scythe Demon Commander’s body. The tribulation power, containing the dual forces of annihilation and returning to the void, crazily destroyed its demonic body, demonic essence, and demonic soul! The bone scythe in its hand let out a mournful cry, lost all its spiritual light, and fell from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mid-stage Soul Transformation Bone Scythe Demon Commander was actually caught by Lin Xuan in this fleeting window of opportunity and severely wounded to the point of death in one strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lost their supreme commander and witnessing the demon commander’s miserable state, the remaining Nascent Soul demon generals completely collapsed, having no more will to fight, and one after another attempted to flee in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave none alive!\" Lin Xuan’s cold voice echoed in the Tribulation Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tribulation Domain contracted, thunder light erupted, and in coordination with Eunuch Wei, Beichen, Yan Gang, Ling Shuang, and others who had reacted, as well as the high-spirited Shattered Star Island defenders and Sea-Suppressing Guards, they launched the final clearing of the remaining demon generals and the beast tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overall situation was settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Zhao Yuan slashed that sword, he knelt on one knee on the deck as if exhausted, his face as pale as paper, gasping for breath. The light of the \"Shadow of Silence\" broken sword in his hand also dimmed, but in his eyes, an unprecedentedly bright flame burned. That sword not only severed the descent of the demon consciousness projection but also seemed to sever the last trace of confusion and shackles in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sea area of the Shattered Star Archipelago, the bloody waves gradually calmed, and the demonic energy slowly dissipated. Sunlight pierced through the clouds again, spilling onto the islands that were full of scars but finally stood tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan put away the Chaos Tribulation Domain, his figure landing back on the bow of the main warship. His aura was slightly fluctuating, but his eyes remained clear and deep. He glanced at the falling remains of the Bone Scythe Demon Commander in the distance, then looked at the young figure standing with a sword on the warship behind him, the corners of his mouth slightly curling into an imperceptible arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadow gold, sunken iron sword... Shadow of Silence... Interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",3114,"2026-06-20T01:44:26.720Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","102aca33e7d0a5ae96ef15a8a35c2438422835589ed75831d35ad2c6cb4aa0fa","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-133","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-131",182,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-villain-is-too-self-destructive-cover.jpg"]
