241: The catastrophe of world destruction, all living beings are shocked

That black sun hung high in the sky.

An indescribable pressure of annihilation enveloped every corner of this shattered world.

It had no light, and no heat.

Its mere existence plunged the last remnants of the entire world into a deathly silence.

All violent Law turbulence stilled at this moment.

All rampant spatial storms solidified at this moment.

Time seemed to have been paused.

The surviving creatures, whether human or demonic, were suppressed beneath this mighty Heavenly might, unable to move, their thoughts nearly stagnant.

Their Souls trembled uncontrollably.

Above the mountain wreckage, Yue Xi looked up at the black sun. The blood drained completely from her beautiful face, which was stained with blood and dust, leaving behind only endless pallor and horror.

For the first time, an emotion named "despair" appeared in her clear, cold eyes.

This was not a power that human strength could resist.

That was the end of the world, the return of all things to the void.

In a corner of the ruins further away, several figures struggled out of a fissure in the ground. It was the group of Prodigies led by Yao Tianqi.

They no longer possessed any of the demeanor of Heaven's Chosen at this moment, their clothes ragged and their bodies drenched in blood, like stray dogs.

When they saw the black sun in the sky, the relief that had just surfaced on their faces was instantly replaced by tenfold, hundredfold terror.

Lu Xinghe's lips trembled, his teeth chattering uncontrollably, yet he couldn't utter a single word.

Yao Tianqi's knees went weak, and he collapsed onto the ground, his eyes unfocused, muttering incessantly to himself.

“Impossible...”

“This is absolutely impossible...”

He cried out in alarm, his voice sharp and distorted. A clear crack appeared in his Dao Heart at this moment.

“Whose Void Refining Heavenly Tribulation looks like this!”

“This isn't a Heavenly Tribulation at all!”

“This is the Calamity of World Destruction!”

No one responded to him.

Because everyone's mind and spirit were completely seized by that pure will of destruction, plunging them into the abyss of endless terror.

They couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

Before this Heavenly might, they were as insignificant as dust.

However.

In this world shrouded in despair and deathly silence, only one person was the exception.

Lin Fan stood at the center of the storm, directly beneath the World Destroying Black Sun.

He looked up, his black hair whipping wildly, blown by an invisible Qi mechanism.

On his face, there was no fear, no solemnity, not even the slightest hint of tension.

Instead, there was an almost pathological excitement.

His blood was heating up.

His Soul was trembling.

This was not due to fear, but due to an extreme craving.

This was the stage he desired.

This was the grandest and most magnificent banquet of death he had ever dreamed of.

He could feel that the black sun in the sky had completely locked onto his Qi mechanism.

This Heavenly Tribulation was born because of him.

And it would only descend for him.

Yue Xi watched Lin Fan's back with a face full of worry. She opened her mouth, wanting to warn him, but found that she couldn't make a sound.

Suppressed by that Heavenly might, she couldn't even move a finger.

She could only watch helplessly.

There was no warning.

There was no gathering of tribulation clouds.

Nor was there the roar of thunder.

A fissure suddenly split open in the center of the black sun hanging in the sky.

A pure Black Divine Thunder, containing no Impurities, silently descended from that fissure.

It had no earth-shattering momentum.

It didn't even cause any energy fluctuations.

It simply fell.

But wherever it passed, space was erased, Law was reset to zero, and the concept of all existence turned into nothingness.

Lin Fan's pupils abruptly contracted.

The magic power within his body was instantly pushed to its absolute limit without reservation.

His cultivation at Soul Transformation Perfection gave him an almost instinctive control over the surrounding space.

With a thought, the space a hundred zhang in front of him layered upon itself, transforming into thousands of indestructible spatial barriers.

This was the strongest defense he could currently muster.

However.

That black Oblivion Divine Lightning completely ignored all of it.

It seemed not to exist in this dimension.

It passed through all the spatial barriers, as if passing through a layer of illusory phantom.

Then, under the horrified gazes of everyone present, it instantly struck Lin Fan.

There was no explosion.

There was no sound.

The moment the Black Divine Thunder touched Lin Fan's body, he simply vanished into thin air.

He didn't turn into ashes.

He didn't vaporize.

Instead, he was completely "reset to zero."

Along with his Divine Soul, his aura, and every trace that he had ever existed, he was cleanly wiped away from this world in that instant.

[Ding!]

[The Host died from the 'Calamity of the World Destroying Black Sun'. The Divine Soul was contaminated and erased by the Era Calamity Aura!]

[Method of Death: Conceptual Reset to Zero. Traces of existence completely erased, possessing extreme finality and uniqueness!]

[Overall Evaluation: SS+!]

Within the preset hidden anchor point, Lin Fan's figure slowly materialized from illusory to real.

The feeling of being perfectly whole and having abundant Divine power and Qi, which usually accompanied a conventional resurrection, did not appear this time.

Instead, there was a sense of emptiness originating from the Soul Origin.

It was as if something extremely important had been permanently stripped away.

For the first time, Lin Fan's expression changed.

It was a mixture of shock, doubt, and solemnity that came from the depths of his heart.

His consciousness sank into his Sea of Consciousness. A line of small red text on the System's prompt panel sent a chill through him.

[WARNING: High concentration of Era Calamity Aura detected contaminating the Host's Divine Soul. The System has consumed a portion of the Indestructible True Soul Origin for mandatory purification!]

[Current Indestructible True Soul Origin remaining: 99.9%!]

[WARNING: If the Origin is depleted, the Host will die completely and cannot be resurrected!]

Lin Fan's breathing abruptly hitched at this moment.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze seeming to pierce through the spatial barrier, looking once again at the World Destroying Black Sun still hanging high in the outer sky.

This time, most of the excitement and fanaticism in his eyes had faded.

Replacing it was an unprecedented solemnity.

This Heavenly Tribulation was different.

This time, the death was truly "death."
