"Spatial compression, activated!"
A member of the Divine Retribution Squad slammed the red button on their terminal.
The surrounding space instantly began to violently distort!
The originally spacious market square seemed to be twisted by an invisible force. The air was compressed into a solid state, emitting the sound of shattering glass.
The space within a hundred-meter radius of Ye Chuan folded layer upon layer, ultimately locking his movement within a transparent cage less than ten meters in diameter!
"Quantum lock system activated! Target coordinates locked! Ignoring spatial displacement! Ignoring time flow! Absolute hit!" The squad member's voice carried a trace of excitement.
This was the Divine Retribution Squad's latest rule-level weapon, and it had never missed.
"Good job!" Iceglass's eyes turned cold, her finger pulling the trigger without the slightest hesitation.
"Swish—!!!"
This antimatter bullet was even more dazzling than the last. Purple lightning wrapped around its surface, and the piercing shriek of tearing space made one's eardrums ache!
It ignored all physical rules, ignored any evasive maneuvers Ye Chuan might attempt, and shot toward his heart with the precision of a maggot latching onto bone.
"Mr. Ye!" Lin Xi let out a desperate scream from within the chaos barrier, squeezing her eyes shut.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound echoed across the square.
The bullet accurately struck Ye Chuan's heart.
However, the expected splatter of blood and flesh did not occur.
The antimatter bullet was like an ordinary pebble striking a diamond. It let out a crisp clink, then deformed, shattered, and turned into fine silver powder that scattered across the ground.
Ye Chuan did not even blink.
He reached up to touch his chest, dusting off the residual powder, his dark gold eyes revealing pure arrogance.
"Hah, that tickled a bit, friend."
The entire square instantly fell into a dead silence.
The expressions on the faces of the five Divine Retribution Squad members froze.
Iceglass widened her ice-blue eyes, murmuring to herself, "Impossible... This is absolutely impossible... The absolute hit of a quantum lock... An antimatter bullet that can annihilate any matter... How could it be useless?"
Bull rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking he was hallucinating. "Am I seeing things? That kid... he actually took an antimatter bullet with his bare body?"
Thunderblade's face looked as ugly as it could get.
He finally understood that Minister Augusta's talk about the indescribable was not alarmist at all.
Causality erasure was ineffective.
Annihilation particles were ineffective.
Now, even the rule-level quantum lock and the antimatter bullet capable of annihilating everything were useless against him.
This person was simply not a creature within the scope of human comprehension.
He is an Outer God!
An Outer God!
Definitely an Outer God!
"Bring out whatever trump cards you have left," Ye Chuan said, standing in the compressed spatial cage with his hands in his pockets, a trace of utter boredom in his tone.
"Your big brother here just wants to see if you have anything worth piquing my interest."
"Don't get cocky!" Thunderblade suddenly snapped back to his senses, his eyes turning incredibly ruthless. "Hacker, activate Spatial Slash! Completely sever the space he is in from the universe!"
"Understood!" Hacker gritted his teeth, his fingers typing furiously on the terminal.
A spatial rift as black as ink appeared out of thin air around Ye Chuan, slowly closing like the maw of a giant beast.
Wherever the rift passed, everything was devoured. Not even light and sound could escape.
As long as the rift completely closed, the space Ye Chuan occupied would be thoroughly severed, drifting forever in the endless turbulent void, never to return.
"Hahaha!" Thunderblade let out a manic laugh. "Ye Chuan! Let's see how you survive this! If you have the guts, don't run! Stay in the turbulent void forever!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
Hearing Thunderblade's words, Ye Chuan instead burst into loud laughter.
He laughed so hard he bent over backward, tears nearly coming to his eyes, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
"What are you laughing at?!" Thunderblade's face darkened as he shouted sternly.
"I'm laughing at you all." Ye Chuan finally managed to stop laughing, his eyes full of mockery.
"Five against one, using sneak attacks, spatial compression, quantum locks, and now you want to sever space to exile me. And the result?"
He paused, a cold curve forming at the corner of his mouth. "Run? Who says I'm running?"
"Who says I'm running?!!"
Along with Ye Chuan's voice, black and gold chaotic power erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption, instantly sweeping across the entire square.
Under the wash of the chaotic power, the closing spatial rift instantly melted away like snow meeting the scorching sun. The compressed spatial cage shattered in response, and the surrounding distorted space returned to normal.
"Domain Expansion."
As the cold voice fell, a boundless black and gold mist instantly spread out, enveloping all five members of the Divine Retribution Squad within it.
Thunderblade only felt his vision blur as the world spun around him.
By the time he steadied himself again, he was already in a boundless expanse of chaos.
There was no sky here, no earth, no up or down, left or right, and no passage of time.
There was only the constantly churning black and gold mist. Occasionally, a few streaks of purple lightning would tear through the void, emitting deafening claps of thunder.
The surrounding space continuously twisted, shattered, and reassembled. All physical and energy rules completely failed here.
"Captain! Captain, where are you?!" Bull's voice came from within the mist.
"Iceglass! Hacker! Holy Light! Answer if you can hear me!" Thunderblade shouted loudly, but received no response.
His communicator had completely failed, and his energy battle blade could not mobilize a single trace of energy.
He was like a blind man thrown into the deep sea, losing all his senses, only able to grope aimlessly in the boundless chaos.
This domain was truly too bizarre; it was impossible to directly feel this through the video recordings back then.
"Stop looking."
Ye Chuan's voice came from all directions. "I have quite a few people on my side too."
Before his voice had even faded, countless black figures slowly emerged from the mist.
Those were Ye Chuan's avatars, exuding the same terrifying aura.
They were densely packed, surging toward Thunderblade from all directions like a tidal wave, stretching as far as the eye could see.
"What... what is this?!" Thunderblade's face turned deathly pale. He backed up repeatedly, gripping his battle blade tightly, yet unable to muster a single ounce of strength.
What made him even more desperate was that in the distant mist, a pair of giant eyes slowly opened.
A starry sky behemoth, tens of thousands of meters tall, emerged from the chaos. Its body was covered in scales, its eyes staring fixedly at Thunderblade as it let out a low roar.
It was the starry sky behemoth that Ye Chuan had turned into one of his chaos avatars.
Such a massive creature; Ye Chuan, who loved collecting, naturally wouldn't let it go.
"Now, it's your turn to run," Ye Chuan said faintly, standing in the middle.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
