The shadow of destruction completely covered the battlefield; light was distorted, and sound was silently annihilated.
That Black Star, which had devoured countless Wanderers and Night Demon soldiers, had already expanded to a diameter of a hundred meters, lifted high by the remains of a Gilded Dharma's colossal hand.
The terrifying power backlash even began to erode the Dharma Image itself, stripping and dissolving the gold-plated armor with invisible force, the divine light being greedily consumed, ultimately revealing an internal pale-golden, skeletal-like energy framework.
Beneath it, Li Ye's right arm was even more bloodied and blurry, his armor and cloak were soaked in blood, flowing down along his arm.
Upon activating the Divine General Dharma Image, forcefully pushing Ye Yun's power beyond control limits, even Li Ye as the caster couldn't fully harness this torrent of destruction.
His divinity, his everything, became the fuel to sustain the existence of this ultimate star!
At this moment, he was the most terrifying humanoid catastrophe on this battlefield!
When this star containing infinite destruction crashed down, it would mark the arrival of the end!
"Stop him! At all costs, hold out until the King General arrives!"
The Night Demon King issued a sharp, near-breaking shout; even from a distance, the extreme threat from the star seemed to annihilate all, causing his soul to tremble. This was not a power that should exist in this world!
This was pure destruction!
He frantically swung the Scepter, symbolizing the highest authority of the Night Demon Civilization, squeezing out the last strength of their city-state's miracle!
An ancient Array deployed around the army burst into full activation, countless Black Shadows surged from the ground and the void like boiling tides, converging together.
With the Scepter pointing at the falling star, these black shadows instantly transformed into massive black barriers, rapidly stacking and spreading! As the barrier passed, the ground was forcibly cleared, any Wanderer touching its edge instantly ignited, turning into black flames, and ultimately burned to ash!
The flames wildly spread with the barrier's extension, as if turning the entire battlefield into an eternally burning black fire hell!
This was the technology the Night Demon Civilization relied on for survival, integrating miracles with Array, the weapon of civilization's foundation for attack and defense! It's also their capital for surviving through the human's dominant period!
However, as that Black Star truly began its descent, that seemingly all-consuming black barrier, even before fully closing on the star, was already webbed with cracks, followed by a silent wail and then mightily shattered!
The burning black fire upon it turned into twisted Fire Snakes, uncontrollably caught by gravity, rushing back to the star itself, being devoured!
"Reverse!"
Zel's eyes almost burst, uttering a sharp explosion, but the sound was instantly swallowed by surging air currents.
He couldn't believe that an ancient civilization's foundation couldn't withstand a single killing move from a pseudo-overlord?
Has your civilization struggled at the Overlord Level for so many years only to be wasted?
He clutched a golden Hourglass tightly, the Holy Relic of the Sea of Time, the Hourglass of Time.
The intricate patterns on it were flashing with unparalleled brightness.
This hourglass can manipulate time in a small area, even reverting a creature's state to a previous moment. But now, what he must do is reverse the time of the destruction star!
Much like a person already decapitated, as long as there's a trace of remaining consciousness, time can be manipulated to restore them to before the decapitation. Of course, there's a time limit; if the time reverted is when their head was already severed, then it's useless.
This weapon also counters the Champion, because this weapon has a second use, which is destroying this Holy Relic.
Spreading the Time Sand sealed within, allowing all nearby life forms to undergo minutes or hours of time reversal, reverting their physical state to before.
However, playing with time comes with a cost!
It will attract immortal monsters, marking, chasing, and devouring every fiend who toys with time!
Even Forbidden Zone Creatures, if marked by these monsters, can only wait for death, await return.
Even Zel is the same, at most due to bloodline, as long as he doesn't break the hourglass, he won't be marked.
Of course, breaking the Hourglass of Time now won't solve the problem. The sand won't disperse in time and would be devoured by the Black Star. So, what he must do is reverse the star's time!
Zel violently twisted his wrist, turning the hourglass. Reverse, time!
An esoteric ripple spread out, and the crashing Black Star indeed showed a momentary halt, then, its downward trajectory seemed to subtly violate the laws of physics, retreating slightly.
'Yes, just like that, as long as the King General breaks the cocoon... as long as the King General launches an attack, everything will be alright!'
Joy just arose in Zel's heart, yet he felt an irresistible force, seemingly pushing the entire world's monstrous force on his wrist!
"Crack!"
His entire body burned divinity madly, muscles swelled to the limit, yet still couldn't resist that force, even causing a crisp sound of being overburdened from his wrist bone!
It was a weight he couldn't reverse! It was the weight of death!
That briefly retreating star crashed down once again with more resolute demeanor!
Yet, it was precisely those few seconds won.
A violent roar like from prehistoric times shattered the remaining Blood Cocoon!
