Chapter 729: The Manifestation of Nothingness, All Things Dissipate

~7 min read 1,312 words

Just at this moment, he thought of a dangerous but potentially effective method.

"Senior!" he said loudly to Tianjizi.

"What if I also perform a bloodline sacrifice?"

"The power of the Taiji Creation Bloodline might be able to stabilize the Seal!"

The roaring sound from beneath the ground suddenly stopped.

This sudden silence was even more terrifying than the previous roaring.

Everyone felt an unprecedented pressure, as if some terrifying existence were about to descend.

Lin Xuan sensed the changes beneath the ground through the Taiji Creation Bloodline.

"It is here," he said with a pale face.

"The true form of the Lord of Nothingness is about to manifest in the world."

No sooner had he spoken than the ground of Ten Thousand Demons Island began to shake violently.

But this tremor was completely different from before, filled with an aura of deathly silence and nothingness.

The ground in the center of the island suddenly collapsed, forming a massive deep pit.

The diameter of the deep pit was hundreds of zhang, and it was bottomless, as if leading to the center of the earth.

A huge black vortex slowly surged out from the deep pit.

This vortex presented an indescribable darkness.

It was not ordinary black, but a profound nothingness capable of devouring light itself.

Any light, once it touched it, immediately vanished without a trace.

The vortex slowly rotated and rose; with every rotation, a patch of the surrounding things disappeared.

"This is the true form of the Lord of Nothingness," Tianjizi said with difficulty.

"It is the embodiment of nothingness itself; where it goes, all things return to zero."

The vortex of nothingness continued to rise, gradually revealing itself above ground.

Ten Thousand Demons Island immediately underwent a terrifying change.

The first to be affected were the areas on the edge of the island.

Those ancient trees that had grown for a thousand years did not wither; they simply disappeared.

Just like an eraser wiping away a pattern on drawing paper, there was absolutely no trace left.

Flowers and grass vanished instantly, not even leaving their roots behind.

Next were the rocks and soil.

Hard granite had no resistance in the face of the power of nothingness.

It disappeared layer by layer, revealing the strata beneath.

But the strata beneath were also immediately wiped away, forming an ever-expanding void.

Even the seawater began to disappear.

A huge depression appeared in the sea area around Ten Thousand Demons Island.

The seawater was not evaporated, nor was it frozen; it was completely erased.

It was as if this seawater had never existed at all.

The cultivators and demon beasts who were evacuating saw this scene and were deeply shocked.

"My god... what kind of power is this?" a cultivator said, trembling.

"Even seawater can disappear?"

"This is not death; this is... non-existence," another cultivator said, his face ashen.

Many people only now truly understood what "nothingness" meant.

Death still leaves behind a corpse, and destruction still leaves behind ruins.

But nothingness is total erasure, as if it had never existed at all.

Some weaker cultivators collapsed to the ground out of fear.

"How... how could there be such a monster?" a demon beast said, trembling.

"Does it want to destroy the entire world?"

Jian Wentian was desperately trying to maintain order.

"Everyone continue to evacuate! Do not stop!" he shouted loudly.

"As long as you are still alive, there is hope!"

Yunyou Zhenren was also organizing the evacuation on the other side.

"Transformation Stage cultivators, take responsibility for protecting the low-level cultivators!"

"Everyone evacuate to the further sea areas!"

But faced with this threat that transcended understanding, traditional words of comfort seemed pale and powerless.

Many people fell into despair and began to question the meaning of resistance.

"Faced with such an enemy, is our resistance still of any use?" someone said in despair.

"It can erase everything; what do we have to fight it with?"

What was even more despairing was that the speed at which the power of nothingness spread was constantly accelerating.

The protective barrier, originally expected to hold for six hours, was now teetering on the brink of collapse.

The defenses constructed by the demon kings like the Vast Sea True Dragon were as fragile as paper in the face of the power of nothingness.

"Dragon Breath Barrier!" the Vast Sea True Dragon gritted its teeth and unleashed its ultimate technique.

But the golden dragon breath had barely surged out before it was devoured by the power of nothingness.

Not even a single trace was left behind.

The dragon-race origin power he took such pride in appeared so insignificant before the Void.

The Golden-Haired Roar let out an angry roar.

"Tiger King Roar!" The heaven-shaking roar formed a sonic attack.

But as soon as the roaring sound rang out, it was swallowed by the Void.

Not even an echo was left behind, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

The Golden-Haired Roar discovered with shock that its own voice could actually be erased.

Yinyi spread her wings, attempting to use wind-attribute spells to stabilize the space.

"Gale Barrier!" The wild winds gathered into a barrier.

But the barrier was torn apart as soon as it formed, its fragments dissipating into the Void.

Even more terrifying was that wounds began to appear on her wings.

Those wounds presented a strange, transparent state.

It was not bleeding, nor was it damage, but rather that part of the body was gradually disappearing.

"My wings... are disappearing?" Yinyi looked at her own body in fear.

The parts touched by the power of the Void began to turn transparent.

It was as if that part of existence was being questioned and erased.

Not only the body, but even consciousness was affected.

Some cultivators who were closer discovered their memories beginning to blur.

"I... what was I just thinking about?" A cultivator shook their head in confusion.

"Why am I here? Who am I?"

The power of the Void not only erases matter, but can even affect memories and the meaning of existence.

Those cultivators who were touched began to question their own existence.

It was as if even the concept of "I" was being weakened.

"Leave quickly! Stay far away from the power of the Void!" Jian Wentian commanded hurriedly.

"It will affect your sanity!"

But the Void vortex continued to expand.

It had completely revealed itself from the ground, reaching a height of several dozen zhang.

It rotated faster and faster, and the range of its swallowing grew larger and larger.

One-third of the entire Ten Thousand Demon Island had already disappeared.

It was not destroyed, but had ceased to exist entirely.

Even the outline of the island had undergone a fundamental change.

Traces of the Void also appeared in the sky.

Patches of transparent areas appeared in the originally azure sky.

Those places had no clouds, no color, and not even a concept.

It was pure "Nothingness."

"Even the sky can be erased?" Yunyou Zhenren said in shock.

"This has already exceeded the scope of our understanding."

The Lord of the Void seemed to sense the fear of the lives around it.

An evil laugh emanated from the vortex.

"Have you felt despair?" The voice was filled with malice.

"This is the power of this seat, the true Void."

"It is not death, not destruction, but the erasure of existence itself from the root."

"Everything you cherish is meaningless before this seat."

These words caused everyone's hearts to sink to the bottom.

Facing such an enemy, their cultivation seemed to lose its meaning.

No matter how strong the power, it would be erased before the Void.

"Can Lin Xuan and the others succeed?" someone asked in despair.

"Can the Seal really trap such a monster?"

At this moment, the battle inside the temple had also reached its most critical moment.
