The aura of the Chaos Demon God… had suddenly vanished.
The speed at which it disappeared was completely abnormal. Clearly, Aina had not purged it. Instead, it had vanished in some even more bizarre manner. The crimson spots that had been rampaging across the sand table just moments before had disappeared without a trace the next, as though they had been swallowed whole by an invisible maw.
Where had those monsters gone?
Xia Lun stared at the sand table, which had suddenly dimmed, and felt a vague sense of foreboding.
But he soon learned the answer.
A dazzling mass of scarlet suddenly appeared in Xia Lun’s field of vision without warning.
Compared with the other faint red dots on the sand table, this dense red sphere, roughly the size of a fist, far exceeded the combined scale of all the previous red dots. It radiated an oppressive force that seemed almost tangible.
It was a truly terrifying behemoth… and very likely the Chaos Demon God’s true body!
It had finally discarded its disguise and personally descended into this star domain.
Yet Xia Lun felt no relief. Instead, an intense sense of danger seized him.
Even through the sand table projection, he could sense the other party’s despair-inducing aura.
The red sphere began to move slowly, at a speed visible to the naked eye. On a sand table spanning entire galaxies, it was difficult to imagine just how fast it was actually traveling.
Yet only a moment later, that dazzling red light vanished from the projection without a trace, as if it had never appeared at all.
What was going on? Had it disappeared? Or had it concealed itself?
A strange sense of incongruity surfaced in Xia Lun’s heart.
The place where it had disappeared…
Suddenly, Xia Lun saw a red dot nearby flash rapidly once before vanishing.
That should be Aina. Only she could have dealt with all the monsters on a planet so efficiently…
Xia Lun’s pupils abruptly contracted.
The place where the Chaos Demon God had disappeared was directly along Aina’s route!
The Chaos Demon God had determined, based on the monsters it had split off, that Aina posed the greatest threat to it. So it planned to go straight to her location and ambush her!
Could it be that the reason it had suddenly released so many incarnations to invade multiple worlds at once was to use the destruction of those incarnations to pinpoint Aina’s movements, then personally lay a trap for her?
Xia Lun stared fixedly at the place where the red light had vanished, but there was nothing there except empty space. He could not sense even the slightest aura.
Although Xia Lun had complete faith in Aina’s strength… her opponent this time was the Chaos Demon God, an existence that had survived from the Age of Nothingness until the present.
Perhaps it had not yet recovered the terrifying power it possessed at its peak, but it remained an extremely formidable threat. Its cunning and cruelty far exceeded anything ordinary people could imagine.
Xia Lun could not simply stand by.
He had to warn Aina…
A means of contacting her… He did not seem to have any way to communicate with Aina. The distances between the universes were simply too vast, and any magical device would fail.
In the end, the essence of magical communication was still dependent on the magical field of their world. But this place was beyond the world itself. Such methods certainly would not work here.
It seemed there was only one thing he could do.
Xia Lun drew a deep breath and suddenly drove his right fist forward. Space shattered before him like glass, revealing the violent spatial turbulence beyond. Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped into it.
He had already memorized the location where the Chaos Demon God was lying in ambush… He had to reach it before Aina did.
It might be dangerous… but Xia Lun had never forgotten his identity.
He was an adventurer, after all.
His heart pounded like a war drum, and long-dormant passion surged through his veins.
It had been so long since he had felt this way… Since his resurrection, this was the first time he had possessed such a strong and certain goal.
He could not let Aina suffer any harm.
His wife was someone he should protect himself.
A massive wave of spatial turbulence swept toward Xia Lun. He neither dodged nor retreated. The veins on both his arms bulged as he reached forward and seized it with both hands. Like an icebreaker crashing into frozen waters, he forcibly tore the chaotic spatial current apart.
The scattered turbulence still carved bloody marks across Xia Lun’s body, leaving him looking as though he had been hacked apart by a thousand blades.
But such injuries meant nothing to him. The tiny wounds healed completely in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, only one thought occupied Xia Lun’s mind.
Faster… He had to go faster… Faster than Aina…
This was the place!
When the coordinate anchor representing his destination finally lit up, Xia Lun let out a furious roar. His body shot forward like a cannonball, smashing through the fragile spatial barrier and returning to the cold, silent material universe.
The area around him was completely empty, filled with nothing but the void and darkness found everywhere in the cosmos. Black was the eternal theme here, like a heavy velvet curtain enveloping this desolate star domain. Light from who knew how many tens of thousands of years ago glimmered in the distant reaches, dotting the darkness and making it seem a little less monotonous.
It seemed… nothing had happened here at all.
Relief washed over Xia Lun. He had made it in time. Aina should not have arrived yet.
Xia Lun checked the coordinates once more. This was indeed the place where the Chaos Demon God had disappeared.
Was that thing hiding here?
His heart immediately tensed again.
Yet he could not detect the slightest trace of its presence. Within the range of his senses, there was not even a hint of life—not a meteorite, not so much as a speck of cosmic dust.
Xia Lun did not believe that what he had seen on the sand table had been an illusion or hallucination.
Could it have concealed its aura and already left?
Had he merely been worrying over nothing?
It was not impossible, but…
“Xia Lun? What are you doing here?”
Space shattered, and Aina stepped through the rift, her silver hair whipping wildly around her.
“What happened to you? How did you end up like this?” Seeing Xia Lun covered in blood, Aina could not help feeling distressed.
“I’m fine.” Xia Lun glanced down at himself. His clothes had been torn into countless holes, with only a few strips of fabric hanging from his body. He had been in too much of a hurry to care about his appearance on the way there.
Xia Lun gathered the scraps of cloth into a ball and wiped away the blood, revealing skin that was flawless, pale, and completely healed.
Aina tilted her head, then revealed a slightly suggestive smile. “Couldn’t bear to be apart from me, so you came chasing after me?”
“Listen to me first, Aina…”
But Xia Lun’s expression suddenly turned fearful.
At the instant the spatial rift behind Aina was about to close, another red figure stepped out of it and drove a fist toward her back.
That thing really had been hiding here! The Chaos Demon God had actually concealed itself beneath space itself!
Even Aina had failed to detect it when she arrived!
“Aina!”
Xia Lun charged forward without regard for his own safety.
However, the moment Aina saw the change in Xia Lun’s expression, she had already reacted.
The crimson staff in her hand swept backward in an instant, tearing through space. A massive scarlet fissure spread behind her, separating her from the attacker.
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
