Buzz——!
A space vortex that was only wide enough for one person to pass through, with chaotic three-color light flowing on its edge, took shape and stabilized with great difficulty in the core of the Throne of Thorns, in front of Xu Shuangyao!
The channel is complete!
However, the Throne of Thorns' burden had reached its limit! Under the continuous annihilation attack of the Zero Thorns, the cracks on the throne's surface had become as dense as a spider web, countless vines were reduced to ash, and the chaotic light that formed its core was swaying violently, as if it would completely collapse at any moment!
"Go!" Pei Du shouted loudly, and his arm covered with dark gold patterns exerted force suddenly, pushing Xu Shuangyao, whose breath became weaker due to his full strength in maintaining the throne, towards the chaotic space vortex that had just formed!
Xu Shuangyao's body was like an arrow shot from a bow, instantly sinking into the chaotic vortex and disappearing!
Just at the moment Xu Shuangyao’s figure disappeared!
Snap——!!!
A heart-shattering bang!
The Throne of Thorns, having endured the onslaught of extinction for too long, finally reached its limit! The chaotic energy maintaining the channel at its core was drained away, and its resistance plummeted! Several zero-returning thorns, like red-hot knives cutting through solidified grease, instantly pierced through the cracked core of the throne!
boom--!!!
The massive Throne of Thorns exploded like a massive bomb, disintegrating and shattering! Countless vine fragments, burning with chaotic flames, scatter like a meteor shower of destruction in all directions! A terrifying energy shockwave, mixed with the embers of annihilation and chaos, completely transformed the area into a raging energy-ravaged death zone!
The violent energy turbulence from the shattering throne slammed into Pei Du's back! His battle armor, covered in dark gold patterns, shattered instantly! His tough skin was torn apart, and dark golden blood gushed out like a fountain! He felt like he had been struck by a giant hammer, his body stumbling forward uncontrollably, right into the chaotic space vortex that was rapidly shrinking and becoming extremely unstable due to the shattering throne!
It seems that the vortex is about to close completely!
Pei Du's eyes flashed with molten gold! The five fingers of his left hand, covered with dark golden lines, were like hooks. With the last bit of strength, he fiercely grasped the edge of the vortex!
Buzz——!
Just at the moment when his fingertips touched the chaotic light at the edge of the vortex!
Something strange happened suddenly!
A throbbing sensation that came from the depths of his soul, extremely cold but with a strange sense of calling, suddenly erupted from the depths of the End Star Core in his chest like a dormant volcano!
This throbbing sensation didn't originate from the Zeroer! Instead... it originated from the core source of "erasure" emitted by the several "Zeroing Thorns" that pierced through the Zeroer's massive body!
This feeling... is so familiar! Yet so strange!
Cold! Order! Purity! A resonance... as if of a shared bloodline!
Pei Du's golden pupils were instantly filled with horror and disbelief! A cold fragment of memory from the very beginning of his birth, buried deep within the core of the Eternal Star, seemed to be forcibly awakened by this same throbbing and suddenly exploded!
The icy cold forging furnace... the twisted light... the embryo suspended in the huge metal container... the inhuman pain... and... the drop of dark golden blood injected into the embryo's core... emitting an aura of absolute "nothingness", like the abyss of the solidified universe!
The blood of the star core! The blood that forged his mortal body... the very blood of origin! Its... its aura... was actually the same as the very essence of erasure at the very core of the Zero Thorn...?!
This sudden soul shock inevitably caused Pei Du's movement to grab the space vortex to have a fatal delay!
Just in this billionth of a second!
Sizzle——!!!
A "Zero Thorn," far more concentrated and deadly than any previous attack, shot out silently from the shadow of the Zeroer's massive body like a venomous snake lurking nearby! It wasn't aimed at Pei Du's body, but... with incredible precision, it struck the left side of his chest, exposed by the delay and covered with dark gold lines, at the heart area—the location of the End Star Core!
This thrust was swift! ruthless! Vicious! It carried the coldest rage accumulated by the Zero after being blocked by the Throne of Thorns and consumed by the backlash of resentment! It also carried a kind of... a will to kill, as if it had penetrated the essence of Pei Du's power and targeted its very core!
The coldness of death instantly froze Pei Du's soul!
Unable to dodge! Unable to stop! The space vortex is so close, yet so far away!
The deadly spike emitting the aura of absolute "nothingness" was about to pierce through his chest, ending the Doom Star Core that was born in the cold furnace!
At this last, most desperate moment!
Deep within Pei Dun's molten golden pupils, which had shrunk in fear, there was a hint of extreme cold brutality that came from the instinctive nature of the star core blood, mixed with boundless hatred for the "Cradle", the obsession with protecting Xu Shuangyao, and the will to resist the manipulation of his own fate. It was like nuclear fuel thrown into a furnace, exploding with a bang!
"roar--!!!"
A roar, not human, but as if from the end of the universe, erupted from Pei Du's throat! His left hand, covered in dark gold lines, no longer grasped at the spatial vortex. Instead, it suddenly withdrew, his five fingers pressed together. With a near-self-destructive determination, his palm, covered in dark gold lines, fiercely met the incoming zero-returning thorn!
He would use the most fundamental power of the End Star Core to confront this same extinction thorn! Even if the core shattered, he would buy the last bit of time for the spatial vortex behind him! To win a glimmer of hope for Xu Shuangyao's life!
However, just as he burned the star core and condensed the dark origin of the end that was enough to destroy the stars in his palm, it was about to collide with the thorn of zero!
The change happened again!
The drop of "Star Core Blood" that was awakened to memory and hidden deep in the core of the End Star seemed to sense the fatal threat of the same source power, and even sensed Pei Du's will to protect him and perish together... It... woke up!
