There Are More Strange Things in the Underworld

A trace of blue blood spilled from the corner of Kalen's mouth, but his eyes burned with an almost maddened flame.

Staring fixedly at Ye Chuan like a beast driven to a dead end, he pulled out a solid silver-white triangular prism device from the deepest part of his spatial belt.

"Hahahahahahahaha!"

"Lowly creature!!!!!!!!!"

"The magical treasures of your cultivation civilization are nowhere near as powerful as what I hold in my hand!!!!!"

The device was only the size of a palm, its surface engraved with flowing blue patterns. These patterns weren't quantum runes, but rather throbbed continuously like blood vessels, exuding an eerie power.

"This is... the Causality Particle Eraser." Kalen's voice was twisted, carrying a sickly excitement.

"It can directly erase all of the target's causality across the timeline. Once locked onto by it, you will have never existed. No one will remember you, and there will be no trace to prove you ever lived."

"It was originally meant to be used against Outer God clones, but today, I'll use it on you!"

He abruptly aimed the triangular prism at Ye Chuan and pressed the red button on top.

"Hum—!!!"

A pale blue light instantly enveloped Ye Chuan.

This time, the power of chaos didn't swallow the attack like it usually did. Instead, it fluctuated violently, as if it had met its nemesis.

Ye Chuan noticed his fingertips beginning to turn transparent, dissolving into fine silver particles that slowly crept upward.

"Hmm?"

Ye Chuan finally frowned.

He could clearly feel a power transcending the planes of matter and energy tearing at his very existence, attempting to completely erase him from this timeline.

Seriously?

But it made sense. After all, Lilith had mentioned this before; his power of chaos wasn't omnipotent.

"Hahaha! Do you see?!" Kalen laughed maniacally, tears almost streaming from his eyes.

"This is the power of the Core Star Realm! Your pitiful cultivation techniques are nothing in the face of true, absolute power!"

"Natives of a low-tier civilization will never understand how far we've come!"

Just as half of Ye Chuan's body had turned into particles and was on the verge of completely dissipating—

"Crack."

A crisp sound, like glass shattering, echoed within the chaos domain.

Ye Chuan, who was dissipating, instantly had his body reform, becoming even more solid than before.

And that terrifying causality erasure power rolled back like a reverse tide, landing precisely on Kalen.

"What?!"

The smile on Kalen's face instantly froze.

He looked down in horror, watching his own right hand slowly turn into transparent particles, exactly like how Ye Chuan was dissipating just moments ago.

"No! Impossible! This is impossible!!" He frantically waved his left hand, trying to stop his body from fading, only to find it was all in vain.

Once the power of causality took effect, unless the eraser stopped running, it was completely irreversible.

"Emergency stop! Hurry! Emergency stop!!"

Using all his might, Kalen smashed his un-dissolved left hand hard against the side of the Causality Particle Eraser.

"Zzzzt—!!!"

A burst of black smoke poured out of the Causality Particle Eraser as it completely broke down.

The erasing power finally stopped. Kalen's body ceased dissolving, but his entire right arm was gone forever. The wound was as smooth as a mirror, without a single drop of blood spilling out.

He slumped into the chaotic void, gasping heavily for air. Cold sweat soaked his silver-white uniform, and his ice-blue eyes were filled with the terror of narrowly escaping death.

"What... what kind of monster are you?!" He stared at Ye Chuan, his voice trembling. "Not even causality erasure can kill you?!"

Ye Chuan rolled his wrists, feeling the power swelling back up inside him. "To think you actually triggered my Destiny Blade. You do have some skill."

Actually, even if Ye Chuan didn't have his power of chaos, he still had the Destiny Blade. After it was triggered, he would recover to his peak state. If he was killed again, it would trigger the Phoenix, immediately restoring him to his peak state and refreshing the Destiny Blade.

Near death—full health restoration and cooldown refresh—Resurrection Armor—full health restoration, cooldown refresh, Destiny Blade refresh, Resurrection Armor refresh—

"I originally just wanted to play around with you," he said calmly. "Too bad you don't know what's good for you."

"Don't know what's good for me?!" Kalen jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. With his remaining left hand, he pulled a black, gun-shaped device from his spatial belt.

"I still have a trump card! I still do!"

"This is the Annihilation Particle Gun!" He aimed the muzzle at Ye Chuan, a ferocious smile appearing on his face.

"It can destroy all your neurons in 0.01 seconds, causing instant brain death!"

"This time, let's see who can save you!"

He pulled the trigger without hesitation.

There was no gunshot, no light, not even the slightest fluctuation of energy.

Ye Chuan's eyes lost focus for a fraction of a second. In that instant, his soul felt as if it had died.

0.01 seconds was too fast for an ordinary person to even blink.

But for Ye Chuan, it was enough time for many things to happen.

Another burst of golden light erupted from Ye Chuan's body, and Ye Chuan was resurrected once again.

Ye Chuan stood there expressionlessly once more, all his cooldowns refreshed. However, he was quite surprised, as there seemed to be quite a few weapons in this world capable of killing him.

He would have to see if his power of chaos could be upgraded. As the map expanded, the number of annoying, hellish monsters was also increasing.

That invisible wave of neural annihilation particles, the moment it touched the golden light, was reflected right back exactly as it came.

Before the ferocious smile on Kalen's face could fade, his eyes instantly went hollow.

The Annihilation Particle Gun fell from his hand to the ground, and his body toppled stiffly backward.

"Thud."

A dull thud echoed through the chaos domain.

Kalen lay on the ground, his eyes wide open and his mouth slightly parted, the remnants of his final madness still lingering on his face.

His breathing and heartbeat had stopped. All his neurons had been completely destroyed in 0.01 seconds, leaving him without even a sliver of pain.

Brain death.

True, irreversible death.

Ye Chuan looked at Kalen's corpse on the ground without the slightest ripple of emotion.

To be honest, killing Ye Chuan was truly difficult. Every force capable of killing him would be reflected back, while Ye Chuan himself could resurrect on the spot.

After obtaining Reinhardt's power, Ye Chuan didn't even know how to kill himself anymore.

Unless he encountered someone who could completely suppress his rules.

But that would require a god-level existence.

With a casual wave of his hand, Kalen's corpse was completely annihilated by the power of chaos, leaving not a single trace behind.

Only the scrapped Causality Particle Eraser was put away into Ye Chuan's spatial ring.

"An interesting little toy. I wonder if Ke Ning can fix it? Although... doesn't Ke Ning have even more powerful weapons?"

He snapped his fingers lightly.

The chaos domain enveloping the surroundings instantly dissipated.

In the next second, Ye Chuan reappeared in the central plaza of District Seven.

The sun was still bright, and the breeze was still gentle.

Yet the entire plaza was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared blankly at Ye Chuan.

When the Chaos Domain had unfolded just moments ago, the people outside could only see a distorted expanse of black space. They could not hear a single sound from within, nor could they see anything that was happening.

All they knew was that Kalen and Ye Chuan had disappeared together into that black void.

Everyone had waited with bated breath, having no idea what was actually going on inside.

But there was definitely a fight, a life-and-death struggle.

Some thought Ye Chuan would be killed by Kalen, while others believed both would end up severely injured. However, no one expected Ye Chuan to walk out completely unscathed, while there was no trace at all of that arrogant special envoy from the Core Star Domain.

"Where... where is Envoy Kalen?" Lei Zhan swallowed hard and asked cautiously.

"Dead," Ye Chuan replied flatly, as if he had merely crushed an ant.
