Chapter 448: 418 Void Realm Destruction

After you finished singing, I took the stage. Who could have predicted, following the incident of the Master of Divine Seal killing the Divine Light, that Xuanming would actually snatch those five ownerless Divine Seal fragments right in front of the Master of Divine Seal.

I don’t know what method he used, but he was actually able to use mana within the Void Realm.

Not only that, he raised another hand, and a fireball as large as a house appeared in the sky, radiating waves of destruction in all directions. Mixed in was the familiar scent of the Power of Divine Seal Fragments. I sensed a clear intent emanating from his actions, and it seemed his target was not just those five Divine Seal fragments or the Master of Divine Seal, but all the present Void Envoys.

I don’t think his actions were the result of a hasty decision. Five Divine Seal fragments are quite a lot, but to say Xuanming suddenly became greedy upon seeing five Divine Seal fragments and couldn’t resist grabbing them makes him sound like a third-rate character. That’s not very convincing. Those five Divine Seal fragments were probably a bonus for him. He must have had this plan all along, only just now making his move.

I remembered what he said at the beginning. He mentioned he had something to announce to everyone and would only reveal it once everyone was present.

"Divine Light has saved me quite a bit of trouble," Xuanming remarked as he looked at the Void Realm devoid of gray mist.

"Number Four, what are you going to do?" the Master of Divine Seal asked coldly. "Do you want to be destroyed together with Number Six?"

As he spoke, gray mist appeared again in the cosmos-like dark void surrounding us. Yet, the fireball suspended above Xuanming contracted and expanded, unexpectedly releasing a shockwave mixed with the Power of the Divine Seal fragments, shattering the emerging gray mist into nothingness.

The Master of Divine Seal’s skills are not limited to this. A wave reminiscent of the divine seal power emanated from him, sweeping toward Xuanming and the fireball above him. I quickly deduced that it was likely this power that seized control of the Divine Light’s power just now.

Almost simultaneously, Xuanming’s body turned transparent, and the divine seal power actually passed through him, failing to affect the fireball suspended above him in the slightest.

For the first time, it seemed the Master of Divine Seal encountered an unforeseen situation, pausing in what appeared to be astonishment.

"I don’t know what’s specifically wrong with you, but it’s clear that now you can only exert part of your power within the Void Realm. And for us, you can only intervene through our connection with the Divine Seal fragments," Xuanming stated as if he had foreseen this. "And as long as one greatly weakens their connection with the Divine Seal fragments like Number Three, you’re powerless against us, right?"

"Number Four..." slowly, the Master of Divine Seal lowered his hand.

"Having a shallow connection with the Void Realm means the power cannot be brought in; a deep connection puts one at your mercy, even the control of power can be taken away." Xuanming’s body grew increasingly transparent. "So the solution is simple: summon the power here first, then suppress the connection with the Void Realm.

"Virtual Realm Conference? Fragment Struggle? Utterly pointless.

"Let’s end this meaningless game of pretend."

With that, the fireball above him exploded directly, transforming into seemingly innumerable fiery streams, sweeping in all directions.

Faced with this indiscriminate attack, I immediately summoned my own flames to protect myself and Little Bowl. All the Void Envoys and all the space I could see were covered by Xuanming Fire.

I had always been the one to summon the Fire Sea to envelop others, and this was the first time I was enveloped by someone else’s summoned Fire Sea. I could feel the boundless might contained within the Fire Sea, although deployed on a large scale, its density far exceeded mine. Even a random piece of flame extracted from it possessed a power not inferior to the "Eclipse."

The purpose of this Fire Sea was clearly not slaughter. Xuanming probably didn’t think his power could harm the Master of Divine Seal. I immediately realized what Xuanming was really destroying with the flames. The connection with the Divine Seal fragments, existing invisibly, twisted and altered under the burning of the Xuanming Fire, and my body too began to rapidly turn transparent, just like Xuanming.

It wasn’t just me; the bodies of other Void Envoys were also rapidly turning transparent, and the Void Realm began to tremble. The Void Realm certainly couldn’t experience an earthquake; this was a tremor of time and space, very similar to the destruction of independent real spaces I had experienced twice before.

The Void Realm was likely formed by linking together Divine Seal fragments bound to all Void Envoys, gathering our consciousness into one illusory space-time. We had called the Void Realm "Mist Dream Realm" before, and this wasn’t incorrect. This place indeed resembled a dream. Intervening in our connection with the Divine Seal fragments was equivalent to attacking the very existence of the Void Realm.

The Void Realm was on the brink of destruction by Xuanming!

Darkness gradually welled up in my consciousness, and I felt myself about to be logged out of the Void Realm. The Void Realm was also becoming fragmented in the Fire Sea. Little Bowl appeared bewildered, and her body was rapidly vanishing into transparency. At this last moment, for reasons unknown, Xuanming glanced at her from afar.

Then, part of the flames constituting the Fire Sea surged toward Little Bowl, targeting her!

Xuanming... intends to kill Little Bowl!?

Without hesitation, I manipulated all my flames to completely shield Little Bowl, while the Xuanming Fire engulfed her with overwhelming force.

In an instant, the Void Realm shattered completely, and darkness engulfed my consciousness...

I awoke in reality.

I was lying on a bed, in the bedroom of a residence at Luo Mountain Headquarters. I sat there in silence for about ten seconds, then got up from the bed and opened the window. It was still late at night, the moon hanging in the sky like a silver disc, and the cold moonlight spilled into the room through the window.

The scenes that had unfolded in the Void Realm flashed through my mind, emotions flooding my chest, impossible to resolve. From the assassination of the Divine Light to the destruction by Xuanming, everything happened so unexpectedly.

Although I don’t understand why Xuanming suddenly targeted Little Bowl at the last moment, judging by the feel, I should have barely managed to protect Little Bowl. Fortunately, Little Bowl had previously made it possible for me to use powers in the Void Realm, and luckily the Void Realm was destroyed just in time, otherwise, there was no way I could have succeeded in protecting her.

As a result, I’ve now lost the basic condition to continue contacting Little Bowl in the Doomsday Era.

I sat back on the bed, staring at the moonlight on the floor. Too much information whirled and roiled in my mind, unable to calm down for a long time.

Unknowingly, the moonlight vanished, and daylight appeared on the floor. The sun rose outside the window, seeming to herald the end of the dream’s time.
