Chapter 247: Guard of Emptiness!

Boom!

When the terrifying will descended, it suddenly turned into an incomparably huge, ghastly white human face!

This ghastly white face spanned the heavens and earth, obscuring all the void that Ye Wuque's will could perceive.

It possessed no emotions any living being should have, only absolute coldness and Dead Silence.

It seemed forged from countless cosmic wreckage and Destruction rules, colder than eons of primordial ice, more suffocating than the abyssal death prison.

The patterns upon it, like a dried Star River, twisted and bizarre, a mere glance enough to cause a Titan of the ages to have its mind shatter.

"Forbidden... shall be executed!"

The cold Dao tone sounded again, without a ripple.

Above that ghastly white face, two black-hole-like eye sockets suddenly converged indescribable Destruction energy!

It was neither divine power nor a law, but the erasing force stemming from the underlying rules of Zhutian Wanjie, the Dark Being's own repulsion and cleansing of anomalies!

A hazy gray beam shot out silently; wherever it passed, even the void itself vanished, returning to true nothingness!

This strike, beyond the realm of force, targeted the essence, capable of instantly erasing any existence that dared to defy the rules, obliterating it conceptually!

Ye Wuque's will core issued a frantic warning, sensing an unprecedented death threat!

He had no doubt; even though he had just stepped onto the eleventh Saint King, forging his own Dao and law, before this erasing force representing the Heavenly Rules, he remained as tiny as dust, death upon contact!

At the same time, the will that concretely manifested the Supreme Will also delivered its judgment!

A Lei Dian entwined with endless black electric light, as if condensing the ultimate secret of all worldly punishments, bearing the supreme authority of judgment, termination, and Destruction, arrived before it struck, and together with that hazy erasing beam, sealed off any possible life of Ye Wuque!

The two great wills, targeting simultaneously, a guaranteed kill!

Ye Wuque's will trembled, not from fear, but as an instinctive response of a life level facing absolute crushing.

He had just created the point of Tiandao and the point of the substitute Heaven law; could they be cut off now?

At this hair's breadth moment!

Buzz—!

The white jade orb, silently floating deep within Ye Wuque's Primordial Sun Ring, the one left by the Void, already riddled with Liewen, seemed to sense this ultimate crisis and suddenly erupted with an unprecedented brilliant white light!

The radiance was warm, pure, not dazzling, yet carried an indescribable serenity and resolve.

Like the Open Heaven light that set Chaos, it spread gently yet irresistibly, barely forming a White Light Curtain as thin as a cicada's wing before Ye Wuque's will core.

Hiss—!

The hazy erasing beam and the black punitive Lei Dian struck almost simultaneously upon this seemingly fragile light curtain!

That terrifying attack, capable of erasing a Titan of the ages, landed on the White Light Curtain and, like snow meeting warm sun, silently... melted!

No, not completely melted.

The White Light Curtain quivered violently, its already dense Liewen instantly expanding like a spiderweb, as if it would shatter completely in the next instant.

Yet it ultimately blocked this fatal blow!

"Hm?"

The ghastly white face seemed to ripple slightly, a flash of incomprehensible surprise flickering in its cold intent.

The black Lei Dian condensed by the Supreme Will also paused briefly.

Clearly, Ye Wuque possessed a power that could resist their erasure, exceeding their expectations.

The two great wills, without any pause, immediately prepared a second, even stronger wave of attack!

Will not cease until the Forbidden is erased!

However, at that moment, after the white jade orb emitted its final brilliance, it did not fall silent; instead, from its core, a mysterious, ethereal, oddly transcendent Causality-defying ripple spread!

This formless, insubstantial ripple instantly enveloped Ye Wuque's will core and the two points he had just forged.

In the next instant, the terrifying will and the Supreme Will that had been locked onto Ye Wuque like a festering bone sore suddenly... lost their target!

In their perception, the once crystal-clear Forbidden aura now became hazy and indistinct.

As if shrouded by an invisible mist, its location, state, even the very nature of its Forbiddenness became elusive, as if temporarily blocked out of this realm of rule surveillance!

The massive ghastly white face's black-hole-like eye sockets flickered violently, and for the first time, clear anger and incomprehension rose in its cold, merciless intent.

The Supreme Will, entwined with black electric light, also emitted a restless hum.

They frantically scanned this void, the power of the rules sweeping like towering waves, yet they could never again precisely lock onto the anomaly that should have been erased.

"Roar—!"

Finally, the ghastly white face let out a silent roar full of resentment and fury; its massive visage began to warp and fade, eventually dissipating like smoke in the void.

The black lightning formed from the Supreme Will, after a few reluctant flickers, reluctantly faded away.

The crisis finally lifted.

The white jade orb completed its final mission, and the mysterious Causality ripple enveloping Ye Wuque slowly dissipated.

Above the orb, the last strand of pure white light dimmed, and then—

"Crack... Boom!"

With a light sound, the white jade orb riddled with countless Liewen finally shattered completely, turning into sparkling white fragments like dust stripped of all spirit, drifting slowly.

Ye Wuque's will gathered, carefully drawing these white fragments together into his palm.

He gazed at these fragments that had saved him many times, containing the Void's power, his face showing a complex, hard-to-define emotion—gratitude, longing, and a faint wistfulness.

"Void..."

He whispered the name, his voice echoing through the void gradually returning to normal.

This orb was the only tangible thing the Void had left him; now its power was exhausted, and it vanished completely.

Regaining his composure, Ye Wuque's transformed, ever brighter and resolute will, bearing the newly forged points of Tiandao and the substitute Heaven law, stepped forward toward the breach in the shattered barrier!

The scene before him shifted, his mind returned.

Inside the Dongfu, Ye Wuque slowly opened his eyes.

In a flash, the whole Dongfu seemed suffused with an unseen force; the Void glowed, and Dao Rhythm resonated!

He emitted no strong Qi outward, yet an unfathomable, deep sense that seemed to contain the vast Zhutian Huanyu naturally flowed from him.

He rose slowly, feeling the ever‑racing, brand‑new power within his body that was many times stronger than before the breakthrough—a qualitative change, a leap in his life's tier.

The combat Saint Qi had already transformed, bearing the unique aura of his own Dao, more refined, more imposing, and containing a hint of pioneering Forbidden Great Power.

"Kong, you once said that the road of the Human King is long; never be impatient…"

Ye Wuque muttered softly, a faint yet confident smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Now, I have finally attained… the Eleventh Saint King."

He gently clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power between his fingers that seemed able to crush stars and overturn laws, a flash of expectation crossing his eyes.

"How strong am I now?"
