With his Chaos Tribulation Dao Dharma Body as the anchor, with this \"tribulation\" environment twisted by extreme filth as the foundation, and with the magnificent Imperial Dragon Qi as the contract, he forcibly \"defined\" and \"triggered\" a Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth—aimed at a specific target and region!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above Star Fall Isle, the gap in the blood clouds torn open by the Imperial fleet suddenly expanded, yet it did not pour forth more sunlight, but rather an endless, gray, misty current containing the dual Dao rhymes of the beginning of chaos and the end of all laws, gathering frantically from above the nine heavens and below the nine earths!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These chaotic currents were formless and intangible, yet they carried the absolute will to make all things \"return to the void.\" They ignored the pollution of the blood light, penetrated the barriers of filth, and rapidly condensed and compressed above Lin Xuan's head, forming a slowly rotating \"Chaos Return-to-Void Tribulation Eye\" that was no more than a hundred feet in diameter, yet seemed capable of sucking the entire world into it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Tribulation Eye, everything was gray and misty, save for a single point at the center, black as ink, as if connected to the abyss of the end of all things. There was no thunder, no fire, no brilliance of light or color, only a pure, soul-freezing \"End\" and \"Nothingness\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, whether it was Beichen, Lingshuang, Yangan, and the others on Star Fall Isle, or Wei Gong and Huangfu Hao (projection) on the Imperial fleet, or even the \"Gluttonous\" and \"Filth Soul\" above the sea eye in the distance, and the massive, chaotic remains of the Blood Skeleton Star God, all felt the deepest palpitation and fear originating from the instinct of life and existence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if a pair of eyes, indifferent to the extreme yet all-seeing, were looking down through that \"Tribulation Eye\" at this filthy sea area, about to deliver the final verdict!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Xuan was the scribe of this \"verdict\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face turned pale as paper in an instant, and pale golden blood (a mixture of essence blood and soul origin) seeped from his seven orifices simultaneously. His body was like porcelain about to shatter, covered in spiderweb-like cracks, from which gray-purple chaotic currents were frantically escaping. Forcibly triggering and controlling a \"Heaven and Earth Return-to-Void Tribulation\" of this level had already exceeded the current bearing limit of his Chaos Tribulation Dao Dharma Body! This was burning his Dao foundation, soul, and life origin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the light in his eyes was like two burning fires of chaos, firm and unyielding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan pointed his fingers like a sword toward the direction of the Return-to-Void Sea Eye, aiming fiercely at the dark red blood-evil light pillar of world-destruction that was slowly rising, spat out by the Blood Skeleton Star God, as well as the \"Gluttonous\" and \"Filth Soul\" on either side of the pillar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Chaos Return-to-Void Tribulation Eye\" trembled suddenly, and then, a gray-black beam of light, also only the thickness of an arm but seemingly composed of the purest \"Nothingness\" and \"End,\" shot out from the center of the Tribulation Eye without a sound!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This \"Return-to-Void Tribulation Light\" had no earth-shattering momentum, no world-destroying energy fluctuations, and even its flight trajectory appeared unremarkable. But wherever it passed, space seemed to be directly \"erased,\" leaving behind an eternal, unhealable \"scar of nothingness\"! Even the blood-evil resentment, decaying star-evil, and Abyss Demon Qi permeating the air \"disappeared\" silently the moment the beam passed; they were not purified, nor were they annihilated, but most thoroughly—ceased to exist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gluttonous and Filth Soul let out shrill, distorted shrieks of terror simultaneously! From that gray-black beam, they felt a sense of \"End\" and \"Nothingness\" more pure and essential than the ancient demons sleeping in the deepest parts of the Abyss Demon Sea! This was the natural enemy of all their origins—devouring, pollution, and chaos! It was a power that could truly cause their very \"existence\" to perish completely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instinctively, the two Demon Marshals abandoned their guidance of the Blood Skeleton Star God's attack, their Demon Qi surging as they spared no cost to their origins, attempting to tear space and flee!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of the \"Return-to-Void Tribulation Light,\" while appearing slow, actually surpassed their perception of time and space. The beam arrived first despite being launched later, and with pinpoint accuracy... \"tapped\" the very front of that dark red blood-evil light pillar of world-destruction that had just been spat out and was not yet fully formed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no collision, no explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a red-hot branding iron pressed gently against a thin sheet of rice paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying dark red pillar, which had condensed the remains of the Blood Skeleton Star God, blood-evil resentment, decaying star-evil, and a portion of Abyss Demon Qi, had its front end \"disappear\" as if wiped away by an eraser the moment it was touched by the \"Return-to-Void Tribulation Light\"! Moreover, this \"disappearance\" was spreading along the pillar at an astonishing speed, backward toward the center of the sea eye and the main body of the Blood Skeleton Star God!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the \"Return-to-Void Tribulation Light\" carried an infectious \"Return-to-Void\" attribute; any \"existence\" it touched would rapidly enter the final \"Nothingness\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar—!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Skeleton Star God's remains let out an unprecedented roar, mixed with extreme pain, anger, and a trace of... fear! It felt that its destructive attack, into which it had poured a massive amount of origin and was about to release, was being \"deleted\" from the root by an incomprehensible, irresistible power! Even more terrifyingly, that power of \"deletion\" was eroding toward its main body along the connection of energy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, the instinct of \"retreat\" and \"self-preservation\" appeared in its vast and chaotic will. It attempted to forcibly sever the energy connection with that light pillar, even going so far as to detonate parts of its peripheral filthy flesh and star bones in an attempt to block the spread of the gray-black beam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the nature of the \"Return-to-Void Tribulation Light\" dictated that once its erosion began, it was extremely difficult to interrupt. Unless a higher-tier power, or one equal to or exceeding its essence of \"End,\" intervened forcibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gluttonous and Filth Soul were even more terrified out of their wits, as they were closer to the \"path of infection\" of the beam! Seeing that gray-black color representing \"Return-to-Void\" spreading rapidly along the blood-evil light pillar like gangrene, they realized it was about to touch their location!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flee! Quickly flee back to the Demon Sea!\" Gluttonous roared frantically, its tumorous body suddenly exploding by half, transforming into a stream of pure origin Demon Qi to wrap around itself, sparing no cost to tear open a tiny spatial rift and attempting to dive inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filth Soul also shrieked, its smoky body instantly dispersing into billions of tiny threads of negative emotion, fleeing in all directions in an attempt to disperse the risk through sheer numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at the very moment they were about to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan, who had been sitting cross-legged at the core array eye of Star Fall Isle and appeared to be at the end of his strength, suddenly raised his head. The chaos fire in his eyes burned to the extreme, and using his last ounce of strength, he spat out a single word toward the direction of their escape:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suppress!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not aimed at their bodies, but at... this space, which had been temporarily covered by the laws of the \"Heaven and Earth Return-to-Void Tribulation\" and had become incomparably heavy and \"repulsive\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spatial rift that Gluttonous had just torn open shattered instantly like fragile glass under the suppression of the \"Return-to-Void Tribulation\" laws! The violent spatial turbulence instead swallowed a large portion of its exploded Demon Qi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The billions of emotional threads of Filth Soul, as they fled, collided with an invisible, cold \"Wall of Return-to-Void,\" and the vast majority were directly erased and purified by the omnipresent Dao rhyme of \"End,\" with only a tiny core strand remaining, letting out a shrill wail as it barely broke free from the law suppression of this area, fleeing into the deep sea and disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gluttonous's situation was even worse. It excelled in devouring and having a physical Demon Body, and its reliance on spatial tearing was greater. Now that space was suppressed and its Demon Body damaged, and being on the edge of the center of the \"Return-to-Void Tribulation\" laws, it felt its own existence beginning to become unstable, as if it would be \"erased\" by that omnipresent gray-black light at any moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! Master, save me!!\" It let out a desperate roar, no longer caring about anything else, and frantically burned its remaining Demon Body, transforming into a pure black light of devouring. No longer attempting to tear space, it fled in a panic in the opposite direction of Filth Soul—toward the depths of the endless vast sea, disappearing instantly at the end of the blood-colored sea and sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for that dark red pillar of world-destruction, and the Blood Skeleton Star God's remains behind it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the erosion of the \"Return-to-Void Tribulation Light,\" more than half of the dark red light pillar had already disappeared, and the remaining part had its energy dissipated, unable to form a threat. And the \"infection\" of the Tribulation Light had already spread along the energy connection to the massive body of the Blood Skeleton Star God's remains!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-black \"Return-to-Void\" patterns, like the deadliest plague, spread rapidly across its entire body, starting from its \"head\" and \"heart.\" Wherever they passed, the filthy flesh turned into nothingness, and the huge star bones lost all luster and properties, becoming more fragile than the sand of the mortal world, then silently disintegrating and dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Skeleton Star God's remains struggled, twisted, and roared frantically, attempting to use its own vast blood-evil resentment and decaying star-evil to resist and wash away those \"Return-to-Void\" patterns. But all of this was in vain. Its power level might have far exceeded the \"Return-to-Void Tribulation Light\" triggered by Lin Xuan in terms of \"quantity,\" but in terms of \"quality,\" its essence of chaos, filth, and decay was precisely countered and \"defined\" by that \"End\" and \"Nothingness\" which were pure to the extreme!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like no amount of sewage or mud could fill a hole leading to absolute nothingness; instead, it would be ruthlessly swallowed by that hole and return to nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar... un... willing... stars... return... to... silence...\" The final thought wave, filled with endless resentment and sorrow, emanated from the depths of the massive remains that were gradually being covered and disintegrated by the gray-black color, and then, it stopped abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Skeleton Star God, the terrifying evil remains that had once stirred up blood and slaughter in ancient times and finally sunk into the Return-to-Void Sea Eye for endless years, finally met its true, thorough \"End\" of existence under the power of the \"Heaven and Earth Return-to-Void Tribulation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the direction of the Return-to-Void Sea Eye, the terrifying vortex was still rotating slowly, spewing out filthy energy, but having lost the Blood Skeleton Star God as its core \"amplifier\" and \"agitator,\" the intensity and chaos of its spewing had clearly dropped by a level. Although the threat remained, it no longer had the world-destroying sense of oppression as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above Star Fall Isle, the \"Chaos Return-to-Void Tribulation Eye\" began to slowly dissipate after completing this strike that was akin to a \"miracle,\" returning to formless chaotic currents and going back to heaven and earth. The laws of the area it had temporarily \"defined\" also gradually returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Lin Xuan, after spitting out that word \"Suppress,\" the chaos fire in his eyes extinguished completely, his body went limp, and he fell backward. His entire body was covered in cracks, his aura was weak to the extreme, and the gray-purple chaotic currents had almost dissipated. Only at the position of his heart, the Chaos Tribulation Crystal was still rotating weakly at an extremely slow, almost stagnant speed, maintaining the last trace of his life and Dao foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Lin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick! Save him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Gong, Beichen, and the others only then recovered from the scene that had just shocked heaven and earth and reversed the situation. Beyond their shock, they were extremely anxious, and several figures rushed toward the core array eye regardless of everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Gong arrived first, catching Lin Xuan's falling body. A vast and gentle Soul Transformation spiritual power immediately poured in, protecting his heart pulse and soul, while he took out several royal secret medicines radiating rich vitality and stuffed them into Lin Xuan's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick! Send Protector Lin to the quiet room! Activate the highest-level 'Spirit-Nurturing and Origin-Cultivating Array'! Invite all alchemists and medical cultivators on the island who are skilled in healing to come immediately! At all costs, we must preserve Protector Lin's life and Dao foundation!\" Wei Gong's voice carried an unprecedented urgency and hoarseness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beichen and Lingshuang also immediately gave orders, and the entire Star Fall Isle, including the newly arrived Imperial fleet, had all medical resources mobilized rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yangan directed the Giant Spirit Sect cultivators and the Demon-Slaying Army to quickly take over the island's outer defenses, clearing out the remaining demonized sea beasts and consolidating the defensive line. Although the Blood Skeleton Star God had been destroyed and the threat of the sea eye slightly reduced, \"Gluttonous\" had fled heavily injured, \"Filth Soul\" had escaped with a remnant soul, and the Return-to-Void Sea Eye itself remained a huge hidden danger. No one knew if the Demon Abyss had other backup plans, so they dared not relax in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thrilling counterattack that had almost exhausted the alliance's top strength and gambled on the future destiny of this realm finally came to a temporary end with the tragic price of the Blood Skeleton Star God being beheaded, one of the two Demon Marshals fleeing and the other injured, and Lin Xuan being exhausted and on the verge of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the aftermath and influence of this great battle had only just begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days later, in the core quiet room of Star Fall Isle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan remained unconscious, lying in a jade pool of spiritual liquid constructed from countless nourishing arrays and heavenly treasures. The cracks on his body were slowly healing, but the speed was extremely slow, and his aura remained weak. Wei Gong, Beichen, Lingshuang, and others took turns keeping watch, their brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Lin's Dao foundation injury is unprecedented,\" an old alchemist with white hair and beard who had come with the Imperial fleet shook his head and sighed. \"It is beyond the reach of medicine. The chaotic power within his body... seems to have fallen into the deepest level of 'silence' and the edge of 'disintegration' due to over-expenditure and triggering the heavenly tribulation. Now, we can only nourish his body and soul in the gentlest way to prevent complete collapse. Whether he can wake up, and when he will wake up, depends only on his own fortune and... the will of heaven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone's hearts felt heavy. Lin Xuan was already an irreplaceable pillar of the alliance, and his safety was directly related to the success or failure of the future plan to resist the \"World-Erosion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as everyone was filled with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the distant, endless vast sea, in one of the marked abnormal areas with energy fluctuations similar to the Return-to-Void Sea Eye—the ancient altar half-buried under seabed sediments and covered in verdigris and strange reliefs—the dark red stains in the central groove, at the very moment the Blood Skeleton Star God completely \"returned to the void,\" seemed to have lost their final \"sustenance\" and \"resonance,\" suddenly stopping their palpitation, drying up completely, cracking, and turning into spiritless dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the same time, deeper within the altar, beneath the thick sediments, a huge stone tablet engraved with runes of the same origin as those on the \"Star Fall Original Tablet\" and the \"Heishuicheng Altar,\" yet more complete and ancient, seemed to be touched by a grand fluctuation intertwined with \"End\" and \"New Birth.\" The dust and rust covering its surface fell off with a rustle, revealing the complete \"Contract\" inscription beneath, cast from some strange metal, flickering with dim starlight, depicting three stars and an Ouroboros totem, as well as reliefs of countless kneeling beings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very bottom of the inscription, a line of small characters engraved in the ancient common language of the vast sea (now lost) flickered in the starlight, as if transcending endless years, issuing a silent message to those who would come later:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the stars as witness, with blood as contract. Serve my god, and enjoy eternity. Those who betray... stars fall and blood withers, forever falling into the Return-to-Void.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And directly above this ancient contract stone tablet, deep in the dark seawater, a shadow so vast it was impossible to imagine, composed of countless architectural remains and twisted metal, was slowly revealing a corner of its ferocious outline from ten thousand years of sedimentation. It seemed to be... a sunken ancient city, or, the remains of... a star giant ship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the quiet room on Star Fall Isle, Lin Xuan, who was in a coma, had his brow twitch extremely weakly, as if in the depths of his dream, he had sensed that \"call\" and \"tribulation\" from the abyss of the vast sea, which were even more ancient and heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Volume Five [The Beginning of World-Erosion])\u003C\u002Fp>",3001,"2026-06-20T01:44:26.720Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b214041fed50ada934def5403c554bdfc959b7b137b1cfc0d0e374ddb1e7da4f","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-148","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-146",182,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-villain-is-too-self-destructive-cover.jpg"]
