Chapter 736: The Appearance of Hun Dun, A Three-Way Standoff

At the center where the light of creation and the power of nothingness collided violently, space began to show strange distortions.

This distortion was different from ordinary spatial rifts; it was a deeper kind of chaos.

It was as if something were about to crawl out from the boundary between nothingness and existence.

Within the distorted space, a blurred outline could be vaguely seen.

It was a mass of constantly changing Hun Dun matter, without a fixed shape.

At times it looked like giant tentacles, at times like rolling black mist.

At times it looked like burning flames, at times like flowing liquid.

The only thing that remained constant was the malice and hunger radiating from within it.

"Finally, this moment has arrived."

An ancient and evil voice echoed in everyone's hearts.

This voice was more ancient than the Lord of Nothingness, and purer than any evil.

"The duel between creation and nothingness, what a wonderful conflict of energy."

"This seat has waited for countless epochs."

Lin Xuan felt this new threat, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.

The Lord of Nothingness also ceased its attack and turned to look at that mass of Hun Dun matter.

"Hun Dun Devourer... so it was you manipulating everything behind the scenes."

There was anger and sudden realization in the voice of the Lord of Nothingness.

"My opposition to the Creator, the awakening of Lin Xuan's bloodline."

"They were all conspiracies meticulously planned by you!"

The Hun Dun Devourer let out a joyful laugh.

"Clever Lord of Nothingness, but you discovered it too late."

"This seat has already obtained enough power from your conflict."

"Now, it is time to harvest the final Fruit."

Just at the critical moment when Lin Xuan's power of creation was about to overwhelm the Lord of Nothingness, a low and evil laugh came from the depths of time and space.

This laughter was like a curse from hell, every note carrying bone-chilling malice.

The space of the entire battlefield began to distort violently, and the boundary between reality and illusion became blurred.

A huge rift tore open in the Void, as if some terrifying existence were about to squeeze out from it.

What poured out from the rift was not light, not darkness, but pure Hun Dun.

It was a power beyond description, more primitive than nothingness, more fundamental than creation.

It had no fixed color, nor did it have a definite shape.

At times it presented multicolored light, at times it turned into bottomless darkness.

At times it was as soft as flowing water, at times as hard as steel.

The appearance of this power made everyone present feel an instinctive fear.

It was not a fear of death, not a fear of pain.

It was a fear of chaos itself, a fear of losing all order.

An indescribable existence slowly crawled out from the rift.

Its form was constantly changing, without any fixed appearance.

At times it looked like a giant tentacle monster, with countless tentacles dancing wildly in the air.

At times it looked like a distorted humanoid, with misplaced facial features and deformed limbs.

At times it completely lost its fixed shape, becoming a mass of writhing Hun Dun matter.

But regardless of the form it presented, the malice radiating from it was consistent.

It was pure malice, a destructive impulse without any purpose.

"Finally... finally I can appear."

A voice came from that mass of Hun Dun.

This voice was extremely strange, like the overlapping of countless voices.

It had both male and female tones, both the vicissitudes of an old man and the innocence of a child.

It had both the rationality of a wise man and the madness of a lunatic.

But every voice was filled with malice and insane pleasure.

"This seat has waited for this moment for too long."

The moment Lin Xuan felt this power, his blood seemed to freeze throughout his body.

This sense of threat was even more intense than when facing the Lord of Nothingness.

If the Lord of Nothingness was a destroyer of rules, then this existence was the enemy of the rules themselves.

"Who are you?" Lin Xuan gripped the Heart of Purification and asked vigilantly.

The Hun Dun Devourer's form changed again, this time turning into a huge vortex.

The center of the vortex was a bottomless abyss, within which flickered countless vicious eyes.

"This seat is the Hun Dun Devourer, the creator of opposition, the source of conflict."

Its voice carried a triumphant, wild laugh.

"Since the birth of the universe, this seat has been observing from the shadows."

"Creation and nothingness, existence and non-existence, these seemingly natural oppositions."

"In reality, they were all meticulously planned by this seat!"

This sentence shocked everyone like a thunderbolt.

The roar of the Lord of Void suddenly stopped, turning instead into an angry interrogation.

"What do you mean? What are you talking about?"

The Void Devourer let out a joyful laugh.

"Stupid Lord of Void, do you really think your opposition to the Creators is natural?"

"I have spent billions of years creating misunderstandings and hatred between you."

"Every war, every conflict, has made me even more powerful."

The Void Vortex began to shake violently, and the anger of the Lord of Void reached an unprecedented level.

"Impossible! My hatred for creation comes from the bottom of my heart!"

"Those painful existences, those meaningless struggles, they are all real!"

"That's right, they are all real," the Void Devourer said smugly.

"But your perception of this pain, your hatred for creation, are all the result of my guidance."

"I planted special seeds deep within your consciousness."

"Making you see only the painful side of existence, while ignoring its beautiful side."

"Likewise, I also planted a fear of the void in the consciousness of the Creators."

"Making them believe that the void is evil and must be destroyed."

This truth struck the heart of the Lord of Void like a bolt from the blue.

For billions of years, it had always believed it was doing the right thing for the universe.

Believing it was saving those painful lives, letting them return to the peace of the void.

But now it realized that this was all the result of being manipulated.

Its own good intentions were exploited, its own actions guided.

It had become a pawn in someone else's hands, serving true evil.

"You... you actually dared to manipulate me!"

The fury of the Lord of Void was enough to ignite the entire space.

But the Void Devourer did not care about this anger in the slightest.

"Manipulate? That word sounds too harsh."

"I merely went along with the inclinations already in your hearts."

"Lord of Void, deep down you truly loathe pain and crave peace."

"I simply amplified this emotion, letting it dominate your actions."

"Likewise, deep down the Creators truly love life and crave creation."

"I also simply amplified this impulse, making them unable to stop creating."

Its form changed once again, this time turning into a giant scale.

Hanging from the two ends of the scale were the symbols of creation and void respectively.

"Perfect balance, eternal opposition."

"Your war provides me with endless power."

"Every collision, every conflict, makes me stronger."

"While you gradually weaken through consumption."

Lin Xuan finally understood the truth of everything.
