Chapter 40

The roar within the Abyss of Return to Ruins abruptly froze. Chu Xiyan's massive Mechanical Divine Body was struck by a belt of Law Fragments that had burst from within herself. Countless torrents of crimson and pale energy, resembling millions of frenzied, vicious snakes, tore at her body, which was covered in bronze-etched divine armor. The impact of every beam of light sparked blinding energy splashes, leaving behind charred, deep pits and ice-cold cracks spreading like spiderwebs. Her massive divine body trembled violently, tumbling downward toward the depths of the abyss. The posture that had once suppressed eternity was thoroughly subverted by the power of betrayal originating from within. "Logic... confusion... Zeroing..." Inside her cranial cavity, the conscious core of the chaotic Divinity let out a chaotic and sharp scream. The Dao Seed that formed the foundation of her power—that core spinning wildly in the deep vortex of her chest, radiating an ice-cold, pale light—was undergoing an unprecedented aberration. On the surface of the Dao Seed, countless Dao Law circuits that should have been perfectly meshed and cycling began to twist and tear, like a magnetic tape losing its magnetism, exposing fissures rolling with turbid shadows inside. Every twist and tear felt like invisible, massive fingers stirring and tugging savagely at the deepest depths of her soul! Boom—! Boom—! Boom—!
