Chapter 1960: The Reappearance of the Void
The "Void" was about to be drawn over by himself?
Lin Qiye had long known that the 【Void Low Whisper】 would not affect the caster, only the world… but at this point, it didn't matter what impact it had.
Lin Qiye would even welcome the so-called "Void" to descend upon the world. What's the worst that could happen? He'd drag all the monsters and demons into this universe for a grand free-for-all… That way, at least the situation for Great Xia would ease somewhat.
"The Second End, 【Law Eraser】."
As that palm opened slowly, mysterious patterns automatically traced themselves in the void, shaped like an eraser. With a gentle flick of fingertips, it shot toward the approaching Cthulhu Faction army at lightning speed!
Lin Qiye remembered this eraser. The last time he used the 【Void Low Whisper】, it was this eraser that instantly erased two gods and slaughtered nearly a hundred Divine Beasts.
However, seeing this eraser up close now, he suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity…
The texture of this thing… why did it feel similar to the one in Jinian's hands?
The eraser streaked across the earth, brushed slightly against the void, and the thousands of Black Goat spawn that had charged to within a hundred meters of Lin Qiye vanished in an instant… as if chalk drawings had been erased, wiped clean without a trace.
A massive gap appeared in the black tide!
The sudden disappearance of thousands of Black Goat spawn left the others stunned. They seemed utterly unable to comprehend what had happened. Then, the eraser wiped gently across their domain once more…
Their consciousness severed instantly. Their colossal bodies that had been trampling the earth seemed to have never existed, leaving only wisps of dust dancing in the air.
Within mere seconds, nearly ten thousand Black Goat spawn were forcibly erased. The surging black tide was as if someone had ripped its head clean off, but the waves behind still rushed forward. Compared to the several million-strong force, the Black Goat spawn erased was merely the tip of the iceberg.
"Too slow…" Lin Qiye stood in a pool of blood, his life force rapidly draining, his face pallid as he spoke, "At this rate, they'll still make it past the black curtain… Can you kill faster?"
"Slow?" A voice emerged from behind the gate, "Are you trying to die? Every move I make now consumes your life… I can kill faster, of course, but you won't be far from death."
Lin Qiye stared at the surging black tide, his voice hoarse:
"Kill!"
"…"
The voice fell silent for a moment. The palm raised again,
"The Seventh End, 【Annihilation】."
A second pattern drifted from his palm. A strand of gray silk floated forward like satin, emanating an极致 extreme destructive force!
Lin Qiye had never witnessed such overwhelming destructive energy. As this strand of patterns passed through a hundred meters, even space itself was torn apart by a gouging crack. The earth beneath rumbled and collapsed. The destructive force churning within was like a cup overflowing with water—shake it slightly, and everything would be crushed to ash…
Lin Qiye could guess that if the entire cup's worth of power were unleashed, it could easily destroy a planet.
As this strand of gray silk reached the Cthulhu Faction army, another thousand Black Goat spawn were shattered into mist. Not only that—随着 as the palm wiped gently, the silk stretched through space end to end, forming a black hole shrunk countless times!
A terrifying gravitational pull released from the black hole. Tens of thousands of Black Goat spawn were forcibly drawn in. Combined with the constantly darting mysterious eraser, the multi-million Black Goat army began visibly shrinking!
Under the power of the two patterns, tens of thousands of Black Goat spawn vanished every second. An uncrossable thunderbolt seemed to stand guard just a hundred meters before Lin Qiye. No matter how fiercely the Cthulhu Faction army charged, they couldn't cross it by a single step!
Meanwhile, Lin Qiye, standing beyond that thunderbolt, began aging rapidly…
His life force continuously poured into the forbidden curse beneath his feet to sustain the massive consumption of the 【Void Low Whisper】. His skin gradually withered and lost its luster. His frame began to hunch. His black hair turned silver-white. Every second, he aged by "years."
Even so, he showed no sign of stopping. Tens of thousands of Black Goat spawn shattered before him. Fetid blood stained the earth.
He stood like a crimson sculpture, silently erect before the dancing black curtain, watching the sky collapse and the earth rift.
In the churning cloud of flesh and blood, that scarlet giant eye manifested with fury. It stared fixedly at the arm extending from behind the gate. Countless tentacles writhed in the air!
With such an enormous number of spawn killed, the 【Black Goat】 would naturally not let this go. As a凄厉 piercing shriek echoed from the clouds, two mountainous, thick goat hooves shattered the clouds and kicked violently toward Lin Qiye's position!
"Hmph, seeking death." The voice spoke again, "The Fifth End, 【Space】."
A flash of silver light swept across his palm. The next moment, the space above Lin Qiye was directly folded. The two rapidly falling goat hooves were instantly sliced into hundreds of segments, curving bizarrely in mid-air and crashing down onto the surging Black Goat spawn!
In an instant, nearly a thousand more Black Goat spawn died beneath its trampling.
The 【Black Goat】's furious shriek echoed across the heavens!!
Lin Qiye, seeing this, had a sharp gleam flash in his eyes. His hoarse voice rang out:
"Can you kill that one? Or the black figure beside it would also work."
"Killing them is certainly possible." The voice paused for a moment, "But the consumption of killing them isn't small. Your life force simply isn't enough."
"Then forget it. Keep killing the spawn as best as possible… My time is running out."
Lin Qiye's voice grew increasingly weak. In mere tens of seconds, he had transformed from a young man in his twenties to an elderly person in his twilight years… Silver-white hair fluttered in the wind. Above the blood-stained blade handle, that palm was now covered in wrinkles.
"The gate is closing… From here on, you'll be on your own. What I could do has reached its limit." The two patterns flew back from mid-air into the palm of the person behind the gate. His voice echoed again,
"Your hardships may have only just begun. Don't despair, and don't forget yourself… Lin Qiye, one day, we shall meet again…"
As the words fell, the crimson gate standing behind Lin Qiye also gradually faded. The barrier connecting two worlds was restored.
All the scarlet patterns on the ground shattered simultaneously. Lin Qiye's figure swayed, nearly toppling to the ground.
Gasping, he looked up ahead. Upon the ground littered with remains, the tide-like millions of Black Goat spawn had already been slaughtered by nearly half…
