Lin Yi's Corpse Explosion skill ravaged Black Nightmare's Izak forces, eroding the traitor's resolve amid mounting losses. Sensing deception, Lin Yi activated Tombstone Inscription, unveiling an Upper-Rank God known as Calamity who froze time, mocked Black Nightmare's incompetence, and redirected the explosions toward Blue Star's professionals. Panic gripped the alliance as Xuanyuan Qingcang surged forward, unleashing his Saint Transformation Level law skill, Destruction—Bursting Sky Fragmentation, against the disdainful intruder.

The supreme law found itself utterly powerless against the divine power-infused assault.

As Xuanyuan Qingcang got smashed down, the freshly sparked resolve for retaliation in every Blue Star professional's heart exploded into pieces.

This time's calamity operated on an entirely superior plane than the one that clashed with Lin Yi back on Blue Star.

How could this entity permit defeat at the hands of the identical foes for a second time?

The upper god realm truly towers over every heaven and countless worlds.

Yet even in that mighty domain, the rules of survival outstrip anything from the lower realms?

Lin Yi possessed motives he absolutely could not afford to lose by, and the calamity shared the same unyielding drive—it too refused defeat.

His gaze sharpened fiercely as the mighty divine force erupted outward.

Xuanyuan Qingcang had no time to respond before the divine power torrent slammed into him.

At Saint Transformation level, the supreme law shielded Xuanyuan Qingcang, letting him dominate Blue Star and fellow co-dimensional worlds effortlessly.

Against an upper-rank god, however, it amounted to an egg assaulting stone!

Absolute might rendered that defensive barrier pathetically frail.

Xuanyuan Qingcang hadn't yet channeled destructive force into the plummeting colossal sphere when a sweet taste rose in his throat.

Instantly after, his blood surged to a boil throughout his frame, raging uncontrollably.

Xuanyuan Qingcang, much like typical Blue Star professionals, forfeited all bodily command.

Blood sprayed into the sky, and like an eagle with shattered wings, he hurtled downward with crushing force.

"Humans remain frail as anticipated—even wielding Saint Transformation level supreme law power means nothing before this divine envoy..."

Witnessing the calamity's aid, Black Mist's heart flooded with elation.

Betting on the upper-rank god proved the wisest path!

Unrivaled techniques, invincible dread force that Saint Transformation supreme law couldn't defy—all displayed the calamity's dominance.

In this fight, Black Mist's prime goal boiled down to endurance.

By outlasting as the calamity's servant, he'd eventually conquer Izak Planet!

Such thoughts curled the giant black turtle's lips into a faint, sinister grin.

Xuanyuan Qingcang's mortal challenge to deities resembled a moth darting into flames.

Yet humanity's hopes didn't hinge solely on Xuanyuan Qingcang.

Behind him gleamed innumerous eyes brimming with expectation.

Could Blue Star's defense war truly halt at this juncture?

Moreover, Xuanyuan War God wasn't Blue Star's mightiest!

Have you forgotten something?

A composed voice drifted from behind, piercing the divine envoy's smug reverie.

He whirled to spot a youth of modest stature, fingers interlocked over his chest.

Azure glow shimmered as inscriptions swirled across his torso.

Black Raven caught every nuance in its gaze.

Memory probed by the calamity birthed a chill dread from deep within.

Damn!

Lin Yi's prowess exceeded my estimates!

[Light and Shadow Intertwine]!

The Tier Seven space skill activated without delay.

[Light and Shadow Intertwine]

[Skill Type: Active Skill]

[Attribute: Space Attribute]

[Tier: Tier Seven]

[Chanting Time: None]

[Cooldown: 5 seconds]

[Skill Cost: 20,000 mana points]

[Effect: The user can freely drop a light and shadow mark on anything within a certain range, then freely manipulate objects with the light and shadow mark for instant transposition. The light and shadow mark never disappears and can be removed with skills above Tier Ten.]

Inscriptions gleamed on the tumbling giant orb ensnared by Lin Yi's space skill.

A subtle feather on the calamity's form bore the same mark.

"Smash for me!"

The enormous boulder hurtling at the Blue Star professionals' ranks vanished abruptly.

In its stead, a metallic-sheened black feather took position.

At once, the Earth-Bursting Celestial Star-extracted colossal sphere materialized soundlessly behind the calamity, crashing down ferociously!

Though merely Tier Seven, this space skill delivered stunning results in critical instants.

The corpse explosion orb, swollen with countless Izak corpses, packed devastating might—Lin Yi couldn't halt its explosive chain.

Should that horror descend amid human ranks, the losses to professionals would prove beyond measure.

Lin Yi's control dissolved the peril seamlessly while inflicting grievous harm on the calamity.

Ferocious energy erupted, birthing shockwaves that disrupted human formations.

The calamity, struck dead-center, suffered catastrophic injury.

Ice-and-Izak-composed and ultra-tough, the orb still fractured on upper-rank god flesh.

[Corpse Explosion Skill]'s relentless chain detonated like festive firecrackers, exploding wildly.

The blasts rang out sweetly, prolonged and mesmerizing.

Lin Yi promptly reactivated gravity control, flipping it to counter the shock on Blue Star forces effectively.

[Forbidden Curse — Space Stripping]

Lin Yi expended an instant forbidden curse chance on the Eye of All-Seeing-marked calamity.

[Forbidden Curse: Space Stripping]

[Skill Type: Active Skill]

[Attribute: Space Attribute]

[Tier: Tier Nine]

This skill is not affected by any protective skills below Tier Ten, nor can it be broken by any skill below Tier Ten.]

This spatial forbidden curse appeared somewhat superfluous.

Still, its utility demanded respect.

The forged alternate space stood utterly singular.

No mediums, no energy sources, no illumination existed within.

Entrapped beings lost sight, bearings, escape—soon depleted and perished.

The black-raven calamity, now confined, fared no better.

Stripped into Lin Yi's void realm, its menace on Blue Star professionals vanished, restoring all skill access.

Lin Yi then pressed palms together, source energy swirling fiercely around him.

"Shatter for me!"

Even as divine envoy, the calamity bore mortal flesh.

Total spatial rupture unleashed boundless havoc, mercilessly tearing all inside.

Lin Yi grasped the vast disparity clear-eyed.

He sought not total annihilation here, merely to pierce defenses via cosmic fury, paving the slaying path.
