Countless experts fell into dead silence.
It was as if darkness had swallowed the hearts of all living beings.
Fear, despair, helplessness.
In the depths of the Primordial Starry Sky, the chaos-tier experts seated in the array formation, along with the Quasi-Saints behind them, all found breathing incredibly difficult.
"What... just happened?!"
Only when someone slowly spoke did the deathly silence break.
The Black-and-White Queen slowly emerged from the shattered spatial currents. Her appearance was utterly wretched, but she hadn't died—this was the best outcome.
Compared to the Eternal Saint and the Myriad Treasures Saint, those two pinnacle human Saints had been instantly reduced to ashes.
Two supreme human Saints fallen in an instant—this was something no one had ever imagined.
Previously, everyone had heard from the Black-and-White Queen about the terror of the gate—the entity beyond could cover heaven and earth with one hand.
Everyone had been tense, but since they hadn't experienced it personally, they hadn't taken it too seriously.
Now, when the calamity truly descended and two Saints perished in a flash, they finally understood... this was the greatest terror of an era's end.
The Black-and-White Queen's figure seemed somewhat frail as she gazed at the massive, resealed gate.
She gasped—the release after suppression.
She was actually somewhat bewildered.
Though her strength had returned to its peak and she had struck with full force, before the terrifying aura beyond the gate, she was far too weak.
Weak like a speck of dust, easily erased.
"Because... of Lu's favor?"
The Black-and-White Queen was dazed.
She had no confidence she could survive the entity beyond.
The only explanation—she had once done something that changed the entity's mind.
For when the gate opened, she had felt killing intent—endless despair, utterly unresistable.
Thinking of the Eternal and Myriad Treasures Saints, the Black-and-White Queen's expression remained unchanged.
This was normal.
Back when the five beast ancestors were palm-annihilated, the scene was far more shocking.
Two Saints' fall—merely the beginning of era annihilation.
"But..."
The Black-and-White Queen's exquisite form suddenly trembled as she stared at the gate.
She thought of Lu—sucked into it. What would become of him?
The Black-and-White Queen pondered, myriad guesses surging.
What lay beyond?
She truly didn't know—no one did.
From the first era to now, aside from Lu, no being had entered normally.
The Black-and-White Queen didn't know Lu was pulled in.
For key insertion, knocking, twisting—all Lu's actions.
Thus in her view—Lu entered voluntarily.
Hence some expectation remained.
...
Nie Changqing, Sima Qingshan, Overlord, Bai Qingniao—beast inheritance claimants—all foreheads cold sweat.
"Young Master..."
Nie Changqing murmured—eyes suddenly sharp.
"Prepare for battle... life-and-death struggle!"
Nie Changqing seated array position—body erupted brilliant gold light—dazzling; Metal Origin mystery.
Bai Qingniao, Sima Qingshan, Kong Nanfei, Overlord—all unleashed mysteries.
Boom!
Array activated—five beast ancestor shadows emerged behind.
Zhu Long, Lu Jiulian, Dantai Xuan, Tonggu Saint—no time grieve; auras like rainbow pillars pierced heavens.
"Dad... pulled beyond gate."
Zhu Long black-white eyes intensely fluctuated—heart trembled.
Looked Black-White Queen—deep breath: "Dad... die?"
Black-White Queen shook head.
"Unknown."
"His fate now—unknown; beyond too strong—Lu likely doomed."
Black-White Queen sighed.
World dead silent.
Quasi-Saints, human experts—eyes grave sorrow.
Ning Zhao, Yi Yue, Ni Yu—dazed; bodies cold—Young Master... gone?
Lu Changkong blank—pinched three chrysanthemum immortal herbs; lips white, face ashen.
Bu Nanxing beside—wanted comfort; speechless.
Rustling panicked desperate words swept Primordial Starry Sky.
Myriad races experts gasped—no great schadenfreude; more sorrow.
Human fall—their fate no better.
Now myriad races one vine grasshoppers.
Suddenly.
Faint voice echoed heavens.
"Lu not dead."
Lu Jiulian Green Lotus Sword at waist—peaceful stance; faint.
Now Saint-level—powerful.
Human Saint speaking—drew attention.
"You never entered—how know?"
Experts questioned.
Thought Lu Jiulian forcibly stabilizing morale.
Lu Jiulian smiled.
Hands behind—floated before gate.
Tiny as ant—compared heaven-earth chaos gate.
"Unknown beyond events."
"But Lu dead or not—I know."
Lu Jiulian said.
Light laugh: "Because... I his avatar."
Words suppressed countless ages.
Now revealed.
Actually long suspected—recently confirmed.
All stunned.
Black-White Queen surprised—yet expected.
Nie Changqing, Sima Qingshan, Bai Qingniao, Overlord, Tang Yimo etc. stunned...
What?!
Lu Jiulian Young Master Lu's avatar?
No wonder cultivation rapid—suppressed Five Phoenixes; forefront!
Original... cheat!
Exchanged glances shocked—then exhaled.
Mindset improved—Lu Jiulian avatar; unexpected.
"I Lu's avatar—I live no anomaly; Lu fine—not dead."
Lu Jiulian said.
Words brightened all eyes.
Black-White Queen instant beside—yes; monitor Lu Jiulian anomalies deduce Lu fate.
Though words so—no relaxation; battle posture ready confront beyond entity.
...
Lu felt dazed—like stuffed washing machine; constant spin tumble.
Dizzy—countless little stars whirling.
Unknown duration—year or billion years?
Finally steady.
Slowly opened eyes—surroundings thick black mist.
Mist extraordinary—black; each strand extreme annihilation aura.
Each strand power rivaled Lu's Five Phoenixes Bow chaos arrow.
"Gate world? Utter chaos..."
Lu held breath—fear mist explode body.
Seated Thousand-Bladed Chair—slow advance; primordial spirit spread probe—nothing.
Mist not block spirit—but power too strong; limited range.
"Previous knocker who?"
"That one... where?"
Lu narrowed eyes—countless gleams.
Lost when.
Black mist light brightened—Lu looked; stunned.
Key inserted gate.
Now like guiding lamp—floating endless darkness; directed advance.
Lu hurried follow—sole choice.
Or lost darkness.
Followed key—unknown distance; at least full speed flight—cross Primordial no time.
Finally.
Front faint light key halted.
Lu eyes bright—end.
But body stiffened.
Key... held by pale hand.
Like thunder ear.
Lu tensed—Indestructible Demon Body erupted; Spiritual Pressure Chessboard awakened.
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Fuzzy figure—annihilation aura dark mist outlined.
Lu stared fuzzy figure.
Clear—if no second being beyond—this key-holder likely annihilated countless eras; Black-White Queen's shadow; Primordial calamity supreme entity!
"Human race?"
Lu narrowed—figure human-like.
Figure toyed key—step by step from black mist.
Finally vaguely clear.
Lu stunned.
Pupils contracted—breath stalled.
Consciousness heavy blow.
"Fuck!"
"How possible?!"
Lu incredulous—cold water head to toe.
Fate's jest?
Or beyond entity toying?
Fuzzy figure clear—not other; Lu himself.
Opponent gentle smile—identical Lu.
Sole difference—no Thousand-Bladed Chair; like Demon Lord state Lu.
"Who you?!"
Lu calmed.
This guy... who?
Identical?!
"You may call me Lord of Destruction."
Faint voice from identical figure.
Lord of Destruction?
Lu stunned.
Relieved—perhaps simulated appearance.
Lord of Destruction saw Lu relax—smiled; beckoned—Thousand-Bladed Chair carried Lu before him.
Close—clearer.
Truly identical.
Aura differed—Lu light hope vitality.
Lord of Destruction annihilation destruction.
"You are me—I am you..."
Lord of Destruction said.
Endless darkness condensed—hideous chair.
Sat upon—opposite Lu.
Unhurried—calm.
Utterly mismatched "Lord of Destruction" title.
Lord of Destruction beckoned—Spiritual Pressure Chessboard floated suspended between.
Lu brow raised—chess game?
Lu full doubts—only Lord of Destruction answer.
To Lu attitude—Lord of Destruction smiled; condensed black piece; placed board.
"You must have many doubts?"
Lord of Destruction said.
"No need tense—you mere fourteenth Qi Refining; tense why?"
Lu: "..."
Fourteenth Qi Refining and tense related?
"Because I ninety-ninth Qi Refining..."
Lord of Destruction tilted head—half-smile.
"System I created—purpose you forge hyper-fantasy world."
Lu pupils contracted.
"System... indeed he created!"
Lord of Destruction: "Strictly—you are me... but my other side."
"Creation and destruction—I destruction; you... creation."
"Destruction far easier creation—you forge peak immortal-martial tens millennia; I destroy... snap."
Lord of Destruction half-smile.
Lu on Thousand-Bladed Chair—absurd.
"Why? Fun?"
"Boredom adjustment?"
Lu asked—tone worsening.
He Lu Ping'an broad-minded—forged vast colorful Five Phoenixes...
How dark backstage BOSS?!
Disagree destroy all?!
He heart light!
"Hahaha..."
"Of course not fun."
Lord of Destruction laughed.
Condensed black piece placed—pointed surrounding endless dark mist.
"This mist—my qi; I refined—you me Qi Refiners..."
"But this qi destruction—unlike your creation spiritual qi."
"You know this place called?"
Lord of Destruction said.
"World-Annihilation Gate?"
Lu said.
"Outsiders' name—this gate Vast Gate; this boundless dark—Vast Mong Realm."
Lord of Destruction said.
Lu brow raised.
"In fact—to me huge cage; unknown ages here."
Lord of Destruction leisurely leaned chair—casual chat.
Many words; chatterbox.
Interacting—Lu felt Lord of Destruction absolutely not him.
He Lu Ping'an aloof—how chatterbox?
"Vast Mong Realm—huge eggshell; sealed me; ages—if not self-talk—long mad."
"Eggshell? Beyond what?"
Lu curious.
"Beyond should vast world—at least hyper-fantasy start."
Pondered—Lord of Destruction said.
"Because once encountered beyond eggshell beings."
"Not really encountered—passed knocked; idle chatted."
"If help break shell best—pity unbreakable."
Lord of Destruction disappointed—sighed.
"Beyond eggshell beings?"
Lu uncertain.
"Yes! Beyond beings!"
"Chatted long—strong; penetrated shell—let me dream! Lived ages unknown sleep; dreamed!"
Lord of Destruction excited—reminisced dream.
"That dream... still clear; ordinary person—ordinary star; blue sky white clouds peaceful ages fresh air; from birth grew—ordinary life; pity accidental sudden death."
Lord of Destruction pursed—deep grudge dream creator.
Described Lu.
Seemed recall—looked Lu laughed: "You remember transmigration? Actually not—you pre-transmigration memory... my dream..."
"Pity he soon left—find cook help open egg..."
"Initially expectant—endless ages nothing."
Lord of Destruction sighed.
Lu foggy—bigshot world joyful.
"System you created?"
Lu asked.
"Created? No—don't slander... I Lord of Destruction—create nothing!"
Lord of Destruction denied.
"Actually system Primordial eras essence—cute five beast ancestors' mysteries, little black-white essence blood etc. blended."
Lord of Destruction said.
"Purpose?!"
Lu deep breath.
"Purpose unknown? System clear—forge hyper-fantasy world."
Lord of Destruction excited.
System long—ask purpose?
"You sense destruction qi—into Primordial—instant collapse."
"I Lord of Destruction—destroy all."
Lord of Destruction said.
"Perhaps dream—want see outside—shell unbreakable; only Vast Gate out."
"But Vast Gate beyond Primordial—bear not my power."
"Need hyper-fantasy world! Then out play."
Lord of Destruction excited.
Lu lips twitched—placed piece.
Wanted retort—unsure start.
"Then why annihilate eras? Era after era destruction..."
Lu condensed gaze asked.
"Because failed—hyper-fantasy impact failed... not annihilate keep what?"
"Simply—not allow occupy latrine no shit."
Lord of Destruction natural.
Looked Lu.
"If you too unable—I push gate out; destroy Primordial all; return chaos initial—slowly... one day bear me world—leave Vast Mong Realm—walk; experience dream life."
Lord of Destruction eyes hope.
"Because prior failed—disappointed; taught Qi Refiner method—understand cultivation; not think create higher world—think mess me..."
"Five beast ancestors discovered Vast Gate—push mess me; good temper—but hate iron no steel—had kill."
"Deprived power."
"Era after era—more disappointed—created you; personally forge hyper-fantasy—out walk."
"I just want air."
"Regarding you—my soul split; pained long..."
Lord of Destruction reminisced.
"Now considerable success—eras essence gathered this era; you here—near hyper-fantasy—gratified."
"But short... give stimulation."
Lord of Destruction calm looked Lu.
"Hm—century."
"Century—if unable hyper-fantasy—I push gate out; destroy Primordial all; return chaos initial."
"I created you—not you; no your emotions—sense not your all... but know—you not wish hard-created all destroyed."
"Not wish destroyed—strive hyper-fantasy impact!"
Lord of Destruction calm looked Lu.
Raised hand—dark mist condensed piece light placed board.
Boom!
Lu felt vast push erupt.
Figure rapid retreat...
Endless darkness engulfed.
Lord of Destruction calm watched Lu vanish figure.
Gaze swept endless darkness—slow exhale; dull boring tasteless lonely... surged heart.
Unknown Lu success—only this.
Though Lu soul split—two people.
Dull silent darkness.
Lord of Destruction gradually mist enveloped.
...
Lu opened eyes—Preaching Platform.
System's.
Wanted exit—impossible; Lu realized.
"World-Annihilation Gate—no Vast Gate beyond all... true?"
"Lord of Destruction me? Primordial annihilation calamity... me?"
Lu face peculiar.
But recalled Lord of Destruction final promise.
"Century?"
"Century short... current Five Phoenixes hyper-fantasy step away."
"Needs qualitative change trigger—hardest."
Lu seated Eight Trigrams Platform—gaze flickered.
Mind stirred—Preaching Platform showed real scenes.
Scenes Five Phoenixes low-martial start—mid high immortal-martial moments...
From nothing to existence—abyss to zenith...
Lu gaze bright—white fluttering stared scenes; reviewed creation bits.
...
Outside.
Primordial Starry Sky.
Century passed unnoticed.
Century to experts flick.
Nothing—but century tormented long.
Like pre-execution agony.
Black-White Queen cross-legged array center—injury healed; state better.
But face sorrow.
Surrounding Nie Changqing Overlord Sima Qingshan Bai Qingniao maintained array.
No slack.
Lu Jiulian Green Lotus—head up vast gate; gaze calm.
Century no anomaly no death.
Means Lu beyond fine.
But beyond specifics—unknown.
Suddenly.
Silent starry sky—knocking echoed.
Knock knock knock...
Clear like thunder ears—all closed eyes opened.
Hairs stood!
Black-White Queen Dantai Xuan Nie Changqing chaos-tiers stared world-annihilation gate.
Creak...
Myriad gazes.
Gate slowly pushed open.
"Battle!!!"
Starry sky.
Jiang Li silver armor roared.
Human experts auras rainbow converged—starry giant shadow.
Black-White Queen re-released terror aura—knew life-death time; last no death; this no favor.
Nie Changqing Sima Qingshan Bai Qingniao Kong Nanfei Overlord erupted beast ancestor shadows.

Final death war!
Gate slowly opened.
Terrifying dark mist beyond surged—tidal waves.
Hiss hiss!
Void overburdened collapsed—under mist crumbled annihilated.
World paled—mere aura void unbearable—what supreme!
Black-White Queen knew battle inescapable.
Re-shrieked soared.
Beyond clear footsteps.
Step by step—fuzzy figure stood doorway.

Black-White Queen gaze bright stared doorway figure—familiar nightmare aura; utterly familiar; wanted see doorway person's face!
Boom!
Plunged mist.
Terror aura wild—black-white mysteries twin dragons spanned.
Puff!
Yet.
Doorway figure slowly raised hand.
Pinched exploded twin dragons—light pat.
Black-White Queen shuddered—like summer flower withered...
Black-white eyes dead stared gate—body uncontrolled annihilated—bit by bit destroyed...
Finally smoke dust scattered starry sky.
...
Preaching Platform.
Lu heart shook—expression complex.
"Century arrived—destruction began?"
Lu gritted—no hyper-fantasy clue yet.
Gaze flickered—Preaching Platform showed Black-White Queen summer flower wither ash scene—like prior Yun Qiangu Wanbao.
Lu clenched fists.
...
World-annihilation gate before.
Destruction began.
Lord of Destruction slowly raised head—gazed vast starry sky exhaled.
"Ultimately unsuccessful?"
Lord of Destruction somewhat lost.
Merely wanted bearing world.
Such small wish—why hard?
Leaned Vast Gate.
Gazed beyond—countless beings charged him.
Shook head.
Every era thus—these people... mess him.
Hum...
Starry depths array brilliant erupted.
Terror aura soared—vast beast claw patted doorway figure.
Yet Lord of Destruction extended finger—poked broken.
Array shattered!
Nie Changqing Sima Qingshan etc. beast inheritors paled.
"Too strong! Retreat! Back Five Phoenixes!"
Nie Changqing roared!
Next moment five brilliant lights erupted.
"Come! Hit me!"
Overlord roared!
Body heaven-earth propping!
Withstood Lord of Destruction pointed finger.
Masked countless beings retreat escape.
Hm?
Lord of Destruction smiled—finger retracted—light fist smashed.
Puff!

Ash annihilated.
Nie Changqing Metal Origin erupted—Dragon Slayer slashed dense mist—mist soon lost power.
Annihilation mist swallowed Nie Changqing—utter ash.
Kong Nanfei vast righteous qi soared—eloquent resisted mist briefly—ultimately swallowed.
Bai Qingniao cross-legged—phoenixes soared sky.

This beyond terror?
Unresistable...
Lord of Destruction stepped out.
Boom!!!!
Annihilation descended.
Primordial Starry Sky here inch collapsed disintegrated.
He gazed surrounding dead silent starry sky—lost.
Invincible too lonely.
Continued advance—all passed returned chaos.
Primordial collapsed majority—finally Ninth Heaven passage before.
...
Preaching Platform.
Lu watched Lord of Destruction erase old acquaintances one by one.
Heart gradually numb.
But vaguely enlightened.
"Clearly person creating all—why destroy all?"
Dantai Xuan words lingered ears.
Lu eyes gradually brightened.
Heart calmer.
"Creation born in destruction!"
Lu raised hand Preaching Platform manipulated.
Hyper-fantasy breakthrough method...
Perhaps found!
...
Lord of Destruction advanced—all passed returned chaos.
Ninth Heaven passage.
Dantai Xuan hands behind—Lu Jiulian sword waist—Tonggu Saint Zhu Long etc. stood.
Inevitable... comes.
"Young... Master where?"
Ning Zhao Ni Yu Yi Yue pursed lips eyes fluctuated.
Gate opened—Young Master why not out?
Likely doomed.
Jiang Li led human experts—gaze anger killing intent.
Qingniao dead.
Angry!
Powerless!
Jiang Li wrapped army force assaulted Lord of Destruction—wave hand army experts scattered annihilated.
Dantai Xuan sighed.
"Unblockable—he enters Five Phoenixes—world silent extinction."
Dantai Xuan sighed.
But stepped forward—cannot evade; Underworld Emperor duty.
Boom!
Underworld behind manifested—Six Paths reincarnation endless Sea of Suffering.
Dantai Xuan stared Lord of Destruction—battle intent rainbow.

Faint voice echoed.

Hyper-fantasy Five Phoenixes continue strong—eggshell eventually shatter.
Forge path—never stopped.
Lu smiled.

"Eggshell" slightly shattered dropped.
Light from crack illuminated—sprinkled Lu's face.
(The End)
