Lin Yi's clone confronts the dangerous Dust Elemental Bodies and probes their thoughts. He then proposes a bet regarding whether he will destroy the Elemental King's Chaos and the Ancient Ape Star's BOSS Set first, or eradicate all other non-Blue Star entities. Meanwhile, Lin Yi's main body enters a constructed space to confront Chaos and Set, while a clone begins chanting a forbidden curse, gathering fire elementals to form a devastating World-Purifying Flame Prison.

The relatively weaker mid and low-level elemental creatures were, however, doomed.

The mutated Ancient Forbidden Curse, its might exceeding the original, boasted such fearsome power that its locking and marking effects presented insurmountable barriers to these frail beings.

The instant the flames enveloped them, the mid and low-level creatures of the Elemental Star were reduced to mere ashes, vanishing from existence.

Elemental Spirit Crystals of various hues began to materialize continuously, floating serenely within the Elemental Star's atmosphere.

Observing this devastating scene, even the formidable elemental beings comprised of three elements could only turn their gazes away in helplessness.

They keenly understood that without the guiding influence of chaos, the Elemental Star was incapable of unleashing its ultimate combat prowess.

Mid and low-level creatures, typically holding insignificant status, nevertheless constituted the primary populace of the Elemental Star.

Those mighty beings composed of myriad elements were, at their inception, nothing more than weak, low-ranking elemental creatures.

Even the incredibly potent five-element composite being of chaos achieved its current state much later, by integrating five mutually synergistic elements for its own benefit.

Now, with these most fundamental elements being annihilated the instant Lin Yi’s grand formation was enacted, it signaled the complete erasure of the Elemental Star’s civilization.

Lin Yi’s objective was nothing less than the total eradication of their very existence from the world!

Yet, what recourse did anyone possess?

The flames emanating from the World-Purifying Flame Prison were so overwhelmingly dominant that even the marking ability was impossible to overcome.

Could a portion of their power be spared to assault Lin Yi’s clone, thereby disrupting his spellcasting?

It was feared that before they could even approach Lin Yi, they would be incinerated into dust by the Purifying Flame itself.

An almost boundless volume of Source Power, coupled with the formidable Power of Law, sustained the relentlessly escalating temperature within the World-Purifying Flame Prison.

The souls and physical forms of the Elemental Star’s creatures served as fuel, intensifying the inferno with every passing moment.

Agonized cries of torment echoed incessantly.

Despair and utter helplessness rendered this scorched domain ever more desolate.

The sky within the Flame Prison, resembling festering blood scabs, cast a grotesque crimson glow upon the visages of the Blue Star warriors.

However, the Blue Star warriors ensnared within this grand formation experienced no sensation of scorching heat; indeed, they found the temperature within the World-Purifying Flame Prison to be quite comfortable.

Still, witnessing this spectacle evoked a profound sense of melancholy within their hearts.

They were becoming witnesses to the obliteration of an entire planetary civilization.

The brutal law of the jungle was being exemplified in its purest form at this very instant.

If the defenseless party were Blue Star, would not the warriors of Blue Star now be in such utter despair?

"You lot are pathetic, why are you all so useless? Your planet teeters on the brink of annihilation, and you still refuse to act?!"

"Doesn't your planet harbor countless elemental creatures skilled in flames? Have them intervene swiftly and put an end to this technique! What are you waiting for?!"

The powerful combatants from the Ancient Ape Star continually channeled their own Source Power to counteract the searing heat of the Purifying Flame. Concurrently, they endeavored to break free from the Purifying Flame’s binding effects by employing their skills and the Power of Law.

But they had gravely underestimated Lin Yi’s accumulated might.

Even as a mere clone, it still wielded the Supreme Law of the Harmonization Layer.

The techniques unleashed were of a supreme caliber, previously unheard of across all of Blue Star, save by Lin Yi himself.

How could such terrifying techniques possibly be withstood by a mere assembly of apes?

In their mounting frustration, these apes could only resort to placing blame upon the inhabitants of the Elemental Star.

Such an unreasonable accusation was truly a desperate ploy.

Certain actions cannot be forced through the sheer imperative of planetary survival, compelling others to muster the strength to confront Lin Yi.

"Ha, why don't you make a move then? If our Elemental Star is annihilated, won't your Ancient Ape Star face destruction alone? When Blue Star finishes dealing with us on the Elemental Star and then turns its attention to you, what will you do."

At this juncture, reveling in another's misfortune held no practical value.

As Lin Yi's incantations reverberated and his hand seals shifted with practiced grace, the black ashes consumed by the Purifying Flame ceased their descent into the bottomless Chaos Abyss.

Defying even the force of gravity, they congregated beneath Lin Yi’s clone, slowly beginning to coalesce.

Ultimately, under the collective gaze of all observing Blue Star warriors, a black obelisk was successfully formed.

The instant it materialized, the black obelisk emitted a potent suction force, drawing in all entities that had been ensnared by the Purifying Flame's mark.

Upon the black obelisk's appearance, the elite members of both the Ancient Ape Star and the Elemental Star sensed its profoundly ominous nature.

The deathly aura that radiated from it was incredibly overpowering.

Although the black obelisk had no inscriptions or death-related Law power, it still gave creatures from these two systems an experience akin to a close encounter with the grim reaper.

Thus, upon sensing the irresistible pull, they immediately mustered all their strength in a desperate attempt to escape its grasp.

Ancient Forbidden Curse.

This term is exceptionally obscure.

Even with the might of a War God, acquiring a skill like the Ancient Forbidden Curse would be an insurmountable endeavor.

For typical warriors, even accumulating millions of skill points over a lifetime would prove insufficient.

It's conceivable that a million skill points could be used to refine a Forbidden Curse, potentially unlocking an additional Power of Law.

Across Blue Star, who else but Lin Yi would even contemplate pursuing an Ancient Forbidden Curse?

This holds true even for the Elemental Star and the Ancient Ape Star.

The acquisition of the Ancient Forbidden Curse comes with an exceedingly high cost.

Therefore, such a formidable skill brooks no imperfection.

Provided the caster's power surpasses that of the one being cursed, the victim faces inevitable demise.

No matter how intensely the lifeforms from these two planets yearned for survival, they were powerless against the obelisk's pull, watching helplessly as they were drawn into its dark depths.

Within the fathomless darkness, the air hung heavy with a burnt scent, and the searing pain intensified, accompanied by terrified screams that brought forth an unending sense of oppression and agony.

The formidable individuals from the Elemental Star and Ancient Ape Star were convinced that expending their complete Source Power and Law power would guarantee their survival. Yet, who could have foreseen that their fates were sealed the very instant Lin Yi unleashed his skill?

Suddenly, faint glimmers began to materialize before their eyes.

Initially, it was but a minuscule spark.

However, as the distance diminished consistently, the light gradually revealed its true form, alleviating some of the dread that gripped the hearts of the elites from the Elemental Star and Ancient Ape Star.

For those ensnared in despair and perpetual darkness, what is light if not a beacon of salvation?

The magnificent three-tailed golden phoenix, its wings gracefully unfurling, shimmered within the Purifying Flame, its gaze locking with theirs in that critical moment.
