The moment Shen Yan’s news came out, everyone was stunned.
[Shen Yan, what does this mean? “Humanity’s critical survival… endless long night…” Does this mean humanity is finished?]
[It’s probably saying that the true path of the Torch is just beginning.]
[So the trial just now was just a warm-up? Hinting that an even greater crisis awaits us?]
[Could it be… referring to the recent conflict between the Ministry of Education and the Seven Great Clans?]
[But that’s only an internal human conflict, hardly reaching the level of “critical survival, crossroads of fate,” right?]
[But Shen Yan wouldn’t speak without reason!]
[That means… a storm is coming?]
Everyone exchanged glances, their previous excitement and joy fading considerably, replaced by an undercurrent of unease.
[What you’re saying is giving me the creeps.]
[Who still remembers the prophecy from before? The Age of Withering—those Anomalies must be making a comeback!]
[What’s there to fear?! If they dare to come, we’ll beat them to a pulp again!]
[Exactly, we’ve already passed the Torch Dungeon—what’s there to be afraid of?]
[If that day truly comes, this sword of mine will not hesitate to cut through the darkness!]
The proud children of heaven, having just succeeded in clearing the Torch Dungeon, were at their most spirited, and soon the channel heated up again.
[Seriously though, friends from the Great Wall Vigil, your spiritual Great Wall at the end was way too OP!]
[Keep praising us and we’ll get arrogant. The Winter Is Coming crew are the real hard men! Surviving in that kind of environment—respect!]
[Anyway, everyone is strong! Hey, how about we gather together after we get out?]
[I’m down. We’ve gone through a life-and-death trial together as comrades. We deserve a grand farewell!]
[If the crisis is really coming as Shen Yan said, a gathering is indeed a good idea—who knows when we’ll meet again.]
[Great idea! I’m in! I’ll pick the venue!]
[Count me in!]
[@Su Fu! Boss! You have to come!]
[Yeah! I’ll introduce you to our Expeditionary Force’s Heiren Jiangjun!]
[Exactly! Without you, this gathering has no soul!]
Su Fu looked at the messages flooding the screen and couldn’t help but smile.
Seems like choosing the multiplayer dungeon hadn’t been a mistake after all.
Now, she wasn’t alone anymore.
Suddenly, she thought of something, and her brow furrowed.
“By the way, why didn’t Bai Shou, Cang Yue, Qing Ling, and the others enter the dungeon?”
“Not just this time—they didn’t appear last time either?”
‘Could Fuzi have sent them on some special mission?’
Just then, Shen Yan’s countdown finally reached its end.
[3… 2… 1…]
[Examination Space closing, now teleporting…]
A familiar dizzying sensation came over her, but the next second, the entire space violently shook.
Shen Yan’s urgent warning voice sounded:
[Warning! Warning! Unknown intrusion detected, severe interference with spatial stability!]
[Warning! Current teleportation coordinates have encountered an unknown error!]
[Attempting recalibration… Calibration failed!]
[Warning! Space… initiating emergency avoidance protocol…]
[Failed! Emergency disengagement interrupted!]
Su Fu’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s going on?!”
Before she could react, she felt an irresistible, enormous suction force coming from all directions.
The space around her, like a shattered mirror, fractured inch by inch.
Amidst this chaotic, spinning confusion, darkness surged like a tide and swallowed everything around her. Su Fu plummeted into a void.
“Dit, pit, pit.”
Suddenly, the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground clearly reached Su Fu’s ears.
She abruptly looked up and saw a familiar figure slowly walking toward her through the distortion.
Vivienne Dracula!
She wore a sweet smile, and her mocking voice rang out:
“Su Fu.”
“Long time no see.”
Su Fu: “!”
‘Damn it! This crazy woman!’
Her heart sank to the bottom. Almost instinctively, she assumed a defensive stance.
As soon as Vivienne appeared, the chaotic properties of the space intensified.
Gravity was thrown into chaos, light twisted bizarrely, and even the fundamental laws began to fail.
This was a trait of the domain of the Chaos God Orcas.
‘Great. Where had Vivienne brought her?’
Vivienne chuckled. “Like it?”
“This was prepared specially for you…”
She waved her hand, and chaos and disorder pressed down toward Su Fu.
[Touch of Disorder]!
Just as chaos was about to touch Su Fu, an anomaly occurred.
“Humm—!”
Above her head, a cloud of auspicious light and golden lamps suddenly emerged, hanging down strings of jeweled tassels, shielding her completely.
At the same time, purple qi came from the east, golden lotuses surged from the ground, and an immense Daoist aura instantly suppressed the surroundings.
This was the protective divine ability bestowed by Yuanshi Tianzun—immune to all spells!
The [Touch of Disorder] that tried to erode Su Fu, the moment it approached, seemed to meet its nemesis and dissipated into nothingness in an instant.
“Eh?!” Seeing her divine ability so easily neutralized, Vivienne’s expression changed drastically, and the murderous intent in her eyes deepened.
‘How?!’
‘She actually blocked it?’
But Su Fu raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “That sneak attack of yours isn’t very good, is it?”
“It seems the power Fuzi sealed within you… hasn’t been unlocked yet, huh?”
She deliberately put on an expression of sudden realization. “In other words…”
“Right now, you can only exert at most the strength of an S-Class God-envoy?”
These words directly enraged Vivienne.
Her chest heaved violently, and she ground her teeth. “Even as an S-Class, killing you is more than enough!”
[Primordial Egg · Chaotic Demon Womb]!
As soon as she spoke, behind her in the shattered void, countless enormous black eggs materialized.
Then, those eggs shattered one after another, and all kinds of chaotic demonic creatures crawled out.
A hundred-headed dragon, an abyss siren, a twisted titan…
All of them were demonic wombs forcibly manifested from the deepest nightmares and fears of humanity.
They howled and roared, charging straight at Su Fu!
Su Fu’s expression also turned serious. ‘Chaotic demonic creatures…’
[Yuxu Edict – Divine Mandate of Heavenly Constitution]!
“In this realm, all laws return to order! All chaos, forbidden to proliferate!”
Her words enacted the law—the power of rules brimming with supreme order and the majesty of the Heavenly Dao abruptly descended!
Those demonic wombs that had just hatched from the [Primordial Egg] instantly began to dissolve and disintegrate rapidly.
Before they could do anything, they vanished.
Vivienne: “?”
Her smile froze.
‘No way. She had never seen Su Fu possess this kind of ability?’
‘She could directly modify and define the Heavenly Dao rules of this chaotic space?’
‘How was that possible?!’
‘Chaos—how could order be established in it?’
What made it even more unbelievable to Vivienne was that her divine ability had been nullified by a single sentence from Su Fu?
She had specifically prepared for this ambush. She had guarded against Su Fu’s terrifying Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation and even prepared several countermeasures for formation-type abilities.
But she never imagined that Su Fu would use entirely new methods she’d never seen before.
Su Fu laughed. “You were my defeated opponent back then, and you think you can beat me now?”
Vivienne was thoroughly enraged by these words, the madness in her eyes intensifying:
“Do you really think this little trick can defeat me?”
[Divine Oracle— “
Before she could finish casting, Su Fu raised her hand and threw the Heaven-Turning Seal.
“Boom!”
The Heaven-Turning Seal grew instantly at the wind, turning into a mountain-sized mass, and with a terrifying momentum that could suppress the heavens, it smashed down directly on Vivienne’s head.
Golden light exploded, and Vivienne was directly smacked dizzy, seeing stars.
Her whole body staggered backward awkwardly and fell heavily into the constantly shattering void.
“Pfff—!”
Blood sprayed wildly from Vivienne’s mouth!
Rumble!
The entire space, due to the heavy blow Vivienne had taken, began to tremble violently.
“KRAA…!”
Vivienne went berserk, and the entire space came to life, surging toward Su Fu from all directions.
But no matter what attack, under the protection of the cloud of auspicious light and the golden lamps, it was all ineffective.
All chaotic attacks were completely repelled, incapable of harming her in the slightest.
On the other hand, Su Fu, after smashing the Heaven-Turning Seal without pause, immediately threw out the twenty-four Sea-Fixing Beads.
“Bam bam bam bam bam!”
The Sea-Fixing Beads, like a chain of cannonballs, battered Vivienne relentlessly.
They shattered the protective black mist around her, made stars flash before her eyes, and even her thoughts were interrupted by the impacts.
“ABOJAKO OBOJ!”
Five-colored light exploded, and Vivienne’s vision was a blur of chaos, unable to see anything.
Like a violent storm, terrifying impacts continuously struck her body, leaving her drenched in blood.
“Su Fu!” she roared in fury.
Su Fu sneered and raised her hand.
“Zhu Xian Sword, come!”
“Clang—!”
A flash of cold light tore through space, carrying a terrifying killing intent that could sever all karma and extinguish all vitality, stabbing straight toward Vivienne’s brow.
Vivienne’s pupils contracted, and her body went stiff.
‘She would die.’
‘If that sword hit her, she would truly die!’
“You… you can’t kill me!”
Under extreme fear, Vivienne let out a hysterical scream.
“This is my Disaster Dungeon. Once I die, the disaster will erupt instantly.”
“Then the entire space will explode, and everyone above disaster level will be buried with me!”
As the words fell, the sword hovered before her eyes, its blade reflecting her terrified face.
One more second, and she would have died.
Vivienne trembled violently from fear. She could even clearly feel the terrifying killing intent emanating from the sword’s edge.
Even her brow felt a sting—the sword aura was so sharp it had cut her skin.
The shadow of death had never loomed so clearly over her.
“Stop… Stop!!”
“You… look at yourself! Take a good look around!”
“This isn’t just a spatial rift—this is my Calamity Instance!”
“Only I, only I can barely suppress it.”
“You’re only S-rank now, no matter how many tricks you have, you absolutely can’t…”
Chi——!
The Zhu Xian Sword advanced a fraction.
Instantly, a line of blood appeared on Vivienne’s brow, bright red blood slowly seeping out.
Vivienne let out a piercing scream.
“Stop! Stop!” she begged incoherently.
“I… I’m telling the truth!”
“There’s at least a medium-sized planet up there! At least ten thousand people!”
Su Fu paused.
She asked Chesia, “Is she telling the truth?”
Chesia paused for a moment. “Indeed, the space has changed. This is already a new instance, and there are many humans on it.”
Su Fu’s eyes darkened.
Damn it.
So that’s why Vivienne was so reckless.
She had already planned an escape route.
But should she let Vivienne go because of this?
Absolutely impossible.
This woman had tried to kill her time and again. How could she let a tiger return to the mountain?
But if she really killed her, countless people would be buried with her…
Just then, Vivienne saw Su Fu’s hesitant expression and slowly smiled.
“You don’t dare,” she said softly, her eyes full of mockery. “You won’t make countless people die with me.”
She had guessed correctly.
Vivienne raised her chin confidently. Even though the Zhu Xian Sword was still pressed against her brow, she would not die.
But the next second—
“Kill her and be done, what’s wrong with that?”
A female voice suddenly rang out, with the confidence to look down on heaven and earth, overlooking all creation.
Su Fu was startled at first, then delighted. She abruptly looked up toward the direction of the voice.
In the dark void, a figure stepped through the void.
Wherever she passed, violent spatial rifts fled, twisted laws returned to order, and shattered dimensions healed anew.
All chaos and disorder automatically made way before her.
It was Tai Xuanzi.
She wore a dark robe, ink-black hair like a waterfall, a blue jade hairpin—powerful and composed.
“Master!”
Tai Xuanzi winked at Su Fu and showed a faint smile.
Then she turned to Vivienne and raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Kill you, then conveniently suppress the calamity—simple, right?”
“A piece of trash like you deserves to have all living beings buried with you?”
“Ah…?!”
Vivienne was more terrified than ever, even more than when she saw the Zhu Xian Sword.
“How could you… how could you come out of that place?!”
“Aren’t you supposed to…”
Tai Xuanzi walked toward Vivienne step by step, unhurried and composed.
“Supposed to what?”
She said flatly, “Supposed to be besieged by those false god remnants in Olympus Dusk’s Land of Gods’ Annihilation, and finally fall in hatred?”
When Vivienne heard “Land of Gods’ Annihilation,” all color drained from her face.
She stared at Tai Xuanzi as if seeing a ghost.
“You… you killed them all… all of them?!”
That was a death trap laid by the gods specifically for Tai Xuanzi, not only with false gods attacking together but also countless Fallen Divine Servants and Giant Beasts aiding them.
But now, Tai Xuanzi could actually walk out alive from that desperate situation?
Didn’t that mean all the false gods who participated in besieging her were dead?
Vivienne was truly scared now, her voice trembling.
“You… killed them all?!”
All massacred by Tai Xuanzi alone?
She trembled violently, and the fear from the depths of her soul instantly seized her heart.
But just as Tai Xuanzi approached, she suddenly realized—
No.
Tai Xuanzi’s aura was off.
She stared intently at Tai Xuanzi. “So, that’s how it is. You aren’t as calm and composed as you appear, are you? Although you escaped that deadly trap, your origin is now nearly gone.”
She laughed maliciously and gleefully. “You’ve also been severely injured! You now… are probably all bark and no bite, a spent force, right?!”
Tai Xuanzi paused slightly, her voice calm and unreadable.
“Is that so? At least, killing you is more than enough.”
Vivienne’s expression froze, despair flooding her heart.
What to do?!
No, I can’t die. I absolutely cannot die here.
She hadn’t completed the gods’ mission, hadn’t participated in the Great Purge.
She hadn’t repaid today’s humiliation a hundred or a thousand times over to Su Fu!
As these thoughts wildly spun in her mind, she didn’t notice Tai Xuanzi gently winking at Su Fu.
Wait!
Vivienne suddenly realized—Tai Xuanzi escaped, but she was heavily injured!
She sneered. “Tai Xuanzi! Stop pretending! Your severe injuries haven’t healed. Killing me is certainly no problem… but can you really suppress the calamity? What you said just now was clearly meant to scare me. How should I put it,” Vivienne sneered, pulling at the corner of her mouth. “You really are eager to save your disciple… Let me guess—when you discovered Su Fu was in danger, you probably forced your way out, didn’t even care about healing, and rushed over without stopping?”
Su Fu’s eyes turned cold, and the Zhu Xian Sword advanced an inch.
“You’re asking for death!”
But Vivienne laughed even more brazenly.
“Yes, I’m asking for death. Then kill me. Once I die, the calamity will erupt. Your master will have to suppress it to protect those useless humans. But that’s not over. The Five Gods Dawn will definitely come! Tell me, can your master defeat them? Oh, friendly reminder—that’s after suppressing the calamity, when she’s already heavily injured. Can she win?”
She almost laughed out tears, malicious. “What a great master-disciple bond.”
Tai Xuanzi suddenly sighed.
“Noisy.”
She became impatient, her divine power wrapping around Su Fu’s Zhu Xian Sword.
“Are you done? Then die.”
She pushed forward, and the Zhu Xian Sword ruthlessly stabbed down!
Vivienne’s pupils constricted, her eyes wide with disbelief.
“How dare you—?!”
The Zhu Xian Sword plunged in deeply.
Puchi!
The blade pierced through, and the terrifying sword intent instantly eroded her consciousness, her divine power, everything…
Even in her last moment, Vivienne couldn’t believe it.
“Are you out of your mind?! You madwoman… you actually dared to kill me… The calamity will erupt… everyone… will be buried with me… The Five Gods Dawn… will join forces… and kill you!”
Her consciousness gradually blurred, and she felt the entire chaotic space shaking violently.
