494: Chapter 494 Soul Invasion

Chen Yi swung his sword! He slashed down with a single strike!

The blade cut through space; wherever it passed, all rules bowed in submission before its edge!

Gravity dissipated! Time stood still! Space solidified! Karma was severed!

ZERO watched helplessly as the sword descended, unable to move a single inch!

His eyes were filled with fear, unwillingness, rage, and despair—but it was all in vain.

"No—" His roar came to an abrupt end.

The golden Divine Soul sword slashed into his body. It didn't just destroy his Physical Body; it annihilated his very life Origin along with it!

The dark purple aura on his body evaporated instantly!

The twisted, evil life Origin within him, condensed from countless grievances, was completely annihilated under the radiance of that golden light!

One strike! Just a single strike! ZERO's body dissipated completely!

Only a remnant Soul, weak to the point of being almost invisible, let out one final roar.

"Chen Yi, you scoundrel! Aaaaah!"

"Even if I die, I'm taking someone down with me!"

The remnant Soul exhausted its last ounce of strength, erupting with an extremely eerie, evil aura!

That aura shot instantly into the Space-Time Rift at Point Nemo! It raced frantically along the energy trajectory!

It found the array eye core located in Sky Star-Fall Valley! Then, it dove straight into it!

And at that very instant, ZERO's remnant Soul completely disintegrated, turning into nothingness!

The mighty world malice, a being that had lived for tens of thousands of years—had just fallen like that!

In front of the global live broadcast, the number of online viewers had exceeded 3.5 billion.

3.5 billion people were simultaneously looking at the empty sky on their screens.

Silence! A long silence! Then, the chat barrage exploded instantly!

[D-dead?]

[Is ZERO dead?]

[Did I see that right? He just died like that?]

[One strike! Just one strike!]

[It's so unreal! I feel like I'm dreaming!]

[ZERO ruled the whole world for so long, and he just died like that?]

[Chen Yi won! Chen Yi won!]

[Long live the Dragon Kingdom! Long live Chen Yi!]

[I'm not from the Dragon Kingdom, but I still want to shout: Long live Chen Yi!]

[Mom! We won! We don't have to be afraid anymore!]

[Sob, sob, sob, I'm crying, I was actually scared to tears—]

Celebration! A global celebration!

No matter where they were, regardless of race, nationality, language, or culture—everyone at this moment erupted with emotions that had been suppressed for too long!

Some howled at the sky; some buried their heads and wept; some knelt in prayer; some embraced and sobbed—

3.5 billion people, at the same moment, shared the same joy!

That ZERO, who never looked like anything decent, was finally dead!

The world could finally return to peace!

Inside the Luo Family Manor, The girls cheered simultaneously.

Lin Mengxue threw herself into Luo Shiyin's arms, the two of them hugging and laughing through tears;

Su Taotao jumped up, spun in the air, and was then picked up by Shi Yuying;

Yan Jiuyue's nine fox tails swayed simultaneously; even though she had already gained full control over them, she couldn't help it right now;

Hua Yuetong and Hua Xingtong hugged each other, their two little faces filled with smiles;

Chu Feiyu clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and gave silent thanks;

Yun Zhiyao took a deep breath and finally revealed her first genuine smile in all these days;

Lilian's weak face bloomed with radiance; her prophecy had come true;

Rose flowers bloomed all over the vines on Black Rose, and the fragrance filled the entire courtyard;

Emilia's lips curled up slightly.

"That kid—he really did it."

"I didn't expect him to actually slay that ZERO!"

"Let's go, Liuli, let's go pick him up!"

"Okay!"

However, just as Hua Liuli and Emilia arrived at the Antarctic continent together, intending to bring Chen Yi back.

Hua Liuli's body shuddered violently, and her face turned deathly pale in an instant!

A mouthful of blood sprayed wildly from her mouth!

The blood splattered onto the mirror surface in front of her, dyeing the entire surface a blinding red!

All live broadcast feeds were cut off!

And in Chen Yi's mind, the System's notification sound rang out.

[Ding! Detected that the will of world malice is forcibly invading Hua Liuli's spiritual core!]

[This invasion is a suicide-style invasion; the opponent is fighting with their life, completely unafraid of any sacrifice!]

[The most serious outcome could lead to the collapse of Hua Liuli's Soul!]

What the f*ck? What the hell is this?

"Liuli!" Emilia appeared instantly beside Hua Liuli, supporting her swaying body!

What on earth was going on?

But Hua Liuli's hand was still gripping Emilia's sleeve tightly.

"Chen—Chen Yi—is—is he okay?"

Emilia thought to herself, and instantly tore through space, taking Hua Liuli with her!

The next second, they appeared above the Antarctic continent, in front of Chen Yi.

Chen Yi had just put away his golden Divine Soul sword when he saw the blood-covered Hua Liuli!

His pupils contracted sharply! "Liuli!"

He rushed over in an instant, supporting Hua Liuli!

Hua Liuli leaned into his arms, blood still oozing from the corner of her mouth.

She looked up at Chen Yi, a look of despair appearing on her face. That expression said—I'm done for!

"Chen Yi, you don't need to worry about me. Only by killing ZERO can this world be saved!"

Chen Yi's heart sank to the bottom. Okay? Does this look like "okay" to you?

He held Hua Liuli, the System's recent statement surfacing in his mind. Could this be ZERO's final curse before death?

Chen Yi's expression changed completely. No one had expected his dying counterattack to be aimed at Hua Liuli!

He couldn't harm Chen Yi, who had already become a god; he couldn't harm Chen Yi, who was protected by the System; but he could harm Hua Liuli!

Hua Liuli was the array eye Host, and had the closest connection to the world will!

Her spiritual core was the best dwelling place for ZERO's remnant Soul!

Chen Yi hugged Hua Liuli tightly. "So it didn't end so quickly after all..."

He murmured, cold sweat seeping from his forehead.

He suddenly remembered that when he had taken Lilian to fuse the Origin power, Lilian had seen some visions of the future.

Among them were visions related to Hua Liuli. At the time, he thought it was just an ordinary crisis.

Now he understood. This was that moment. This was the calamity foretold in the prophecy.

Chen Yi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. "System, is there any solution?"

[The Host and Hua Liuli are both array eyes; you can dive with your Divine Soul into the core world to purge ZERO's remnant Soul!]

Chen Yi's eyes lit up. "I understand!"

He looked at Hua Liuli in his arms, then at Emilia beside him, and said softly, "It was my negligence; I accidentally let ZERO's remnant Soul invade Liuli's spiritual core! I must dive in with my Divine Soul to purge his remnant Soul!"

Emilia's expression changed. "Divine Soul dive? That's too dangerous!"

"If something happens to your Divine Soul in there, you will never wake up!"

"The Divine Soul world is not like the real world; it is not a place you can perceive so easily!"
