This was precisely what made the Void Clan so terrifying.

 

It should be noted that for ordinary Tier-5 True Gods, even if their heart was pierced or their body was shattered entirely, as long as they had sufficient Spiritual Energy, there would still be a slim chance of recovery.

 

Take Yu Zi Yu, for instance. As an Immortal Tree, he could regenerate even from a single remaining root.

 

However, this rule did not apply against the Void Clan.

 

The Void Energy was an entirely unprecedented form of energy, far more corrosive than the forces of darkness. Those tainted by it would find it nearly impossible to counteract unless they possessed power of equal magnitude.

 

For instance, if the heart of this Tier-5 Crystal Clan Expert had been pierced by any other force, he could have reconstituted himself.

 

However, the moment the purple spear, imbued with Void Energy, pierced his heart, countless tendrils of Void Energy spread through his body like a lethal poison, corroding not only his physical form but even his Spiritual Energy.

 

In such a situation, not only was resistance futile, but even the chance to struggle was stripped away.

 

This was why the Myriad Races regarded Void Creatures with such fear. This race had simply transcended conventional understanding.

 

Moreover, they possessed a natural dominance over all other races.

 

When the Myriad Races encountered the Void Clan, they were like mice before a cat. Unless they held overwhelming power, they wouldn’t even qualify to engage in battle.

 

*Heh, heh…* The corners of Avril’s lips curled into a cold smile, paying no heed to the crystalline shards scattering across the sky.

 

However, delivering the fatal blow was not entirely her own doing.

 

The Crystal Clan was a peculiar race. Although they had hearts resembling those of Humans, these hearts were, in fact, the core of their power—a source of energy condensed into a fist-sized orb.

 

More importantly, this core could move freely within their massive bodies.

 

As such, striking directly at their ‘heart’ was exceedingly difficult. With their towering bodies often exceeding a hundred meters in height, the fist-sized core was buried deep within them.

 

It was exceedingly difficult to pinpoint its exact location.

 

And that was not even considering the monumental task of breaking through the Crystal Clan’s formidable defenses. Simply locating the core was already an enormous challenge.

 

Unfortunately for them, when Avril brought the fallen Crystal Clan members to Yu Zi Yu, all of the race’s secrets were laid bare.

 

Recognizing that Avril would have to face the experts of various races, Yu Zi Yu shared their critical weaknesses with her.

 

For example, regarding the Crystal Clan: ‘When they channel their Spiritual Energy, their heart—the core of their power—emits a prismatic glow. At that moment, all you need to do is strike the spot where the glow converges, and the Crystal Clan members will become vulnerable, making them easy to kill.’

 

Recalling the detailed guidance of her Master—the Lord of Corruption, Avril’s lips curled into a faint smile.

 

Fortunately for Avril, her power was derived from the Void Space, enabling her to bypass most of the Crystal Clan’s defenses.

 

Otherwise, her spear might not have been able to pierce the body of a Tier-5 Crystal Clan True God.

 

However, she did not have the leeway to dwell on such thoughts.

 

Even though she had delivered a fatal strike and slain the Crystal Clan’s Tier-5 True God, the overall situation had not improved.

 

Instead, the gazes of the surrounding Tier-5 Experts became far more wary. They grew visibly more cautious in their actions, holding back even as they prepared to strike.

 

“It’s going to be difficult to deliver another fatal strike like that,” Avril murmured with a bitter smile. Calmly, she unfurled her wings.

 

*Boooooom…* A deafening explosion echoed as her wings flapped, sending countless black feathers hurtling through the sky.

 

In the next moment—

 

*Booooom…* With another thunderous roar, Avril transformed into a streak of purple light, darting toward a corner of the starry sky.

 

However, before she could get far—

 

“Judgment Cross!” A deep, thunderous roar erupted, and an unimaginably grand beam of light zoomed toward Avril.

 

Instinctively, she raised her spear to block in haste.

 

*Boooooom…* With a deafening crash, Avril’s entire figure was blasted backward.

 

At this point, anyone observing the battlefield would notice that a group of Tier-5 True Gods had formed a massive encirclement, completely trapping Avril within.

 

But this was not the most terrifying aspect.

 

The truly frightening part was the strange mirror in the hand of the grotesque figure of the High Goblin Clan.

 

That was the Space-Sealing Mirror—a Tier-5 Artifact, it was specifically designed to counter the Void Clan, simply because this Artifact could freeze an entire region of space, preventing Void Creatures from tearing open a rift in the fabric of space and escape into the Void Space.

 

Moreover, it could also stop them from breaching space to invade the starry skies.

 

Currently, many strongholds of top-tier Forces were equipped with Space-Sealing Mirrors, which significantly enhanced the stability of space—often by at least tenfold.

 

This was precisely why the armies of the Void Clan rarely descended upon major cities.

 

Unless a Tier-6 Void Emperor—or an even more terrifying existence—took action, Tier-5 Void Creatures alone would find it nearly impossible to tear open space.

 

“You cannot escape,” a resonant, grim voice echoed as Arto, raised his blade-like right arm.

 

Intense Spiritual Energy surged through his arm, as a magnificent holy light erupted from his arm, forming a sword of light nearly 100 meters long in an instant.

 

This was the Sword of Judgement, a powerful technique rarely used by the Holy Sword Angel.

 

Since he had drawn this sword, one could imagine the gravity of the situation.

 

However, it was not just him.

 

On the other side, the one from the Beastmen Clan began to transform.

 

Moments later, he had fully morphed into a towering Golden Lion, standing over 100 meters tall. His shimmering golden mane illuminated the starry sky, while his tail, resembling a steel whip, lashed back and forth, tearing through the fabric of space.

 

This was Bloodline Awakening, which allowed one to return to the most ancient Beast Form, providing them massive enhancements in strength and speed.

 

Even the power of Sonic Technique would be increased by one or two levels.

 

His roar might not shatter moons or planets, but it could easily reduce an ordinary continent to dust.

 

Clearly, Avril’s ruthless execution of the Crystal Clan expert had deeply shaken them.

 

Now, every move they made was executed with utmost seriousness. Some had even resorted to revealing their trump cards without hesitation.
