"Die!"
A terrifying blade arced high and came crashing down in an instant.
Blindingly dazzling, overwhelmingly brilliant—Andrew Han looked up in a trance, unaware.
Quibeast...
It's actually a Quibeast!
Its six hooves merged into one, forming a deadly blade!
Oh no.
Andrew Han's expression didn't change at all—he couldn't move. Only his aching, melancholy heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the world.
Of course.
He was respected as a new-generation Eternal King, and also a Fate Rebel.
But no matter what, Andrew Han was still only Fifth-Stage Void Rift. Facing this unknown Quibeast's sudden ambush, his mind went blank—his thoughts rusted, frozen by the overwhelming killing intent. His body locked in place, survival instincts screamed silently.
It was as if endless despair, like sinking into a boundless hell, instantly drowned his soul.
Quibeast.
Never before had he felt so suffocated. In the flash before death, a spark of insight pierced his mind. Andrew Han finally understood why Archaic Hall always emphasized: when leaving Human Territory, you must treat other life races with cold caution.
The ambush erupted—tentacles swept, the blade descended toward his face.
It happened so suddenly, impossible to guard against—no one detected it.
Time flowed, space twisted, the light of sun, moon, and stars lost all meaning—absolute cold swept across the cosmic sky. Even Lu Yang, the path-protector, couldn't foresee this ambush.
No!
Lu Yang twisted around in terror.
No amount of careful planning could match the life-and-death rescue drilled millions of times. As path-protector, Lu Yang bore heavy responsibility—he had to pass Archaic Hall's corresponding assessments.
Your Highness, watch out!
Get out of the way, move quickly! At this moment, Lu Yang had no time to think—he unleashed the Starfire Law. Blazing, burning star-flames forced open the frozen space as he sped toward Andrew Han, his fingertip flicking at the terrifying blade.
The distance closed little by little.
The Quibeast's hoof-blade had already sliced Andrew Han's white hair at his brow.
With a hiss, strands of his flawless, timeworn white hair snapped apart. Even Andrew Han's brow showed fine cracks. Forget the incoming Quibeast blade—the surrounding killing aura alone could destroy an ordinary Cosmos Union lifeform.
Fortunately.
Now, Andrew Han's strength matched top Cosmos Union standards.
He barely managed to stay conscious.
His face was deathly pale, his body on the verge of collapse. Yet even under the terror of primal submission, Andrew Han's faith and will could not be hidden: 'If you kill me, your whole race will be exterminated!'
Come on!
May the Human Race endure forever!
Andrew Han couldn't move, but he showed no fear—his soul radiated a heroic, skyward laughter.
Time twisted to the extreme.
Everything changed hundreds of times in an instant.
Die.
The terrifying blade was utterly cold, devoid of emotion. It sliced Andrew Han's white hair at his brow, heading straight for the soul-space at his forehead.
A killing blow! Soul-shattering!
Especially for a new-generation Eternal King—if you want to truly kill him, you must first destroy his true form!
Your Highness!
Lu Yang drew closer, his pupils red, Starfire Law blazing around him. He strode as if treading burning stars, determined to flick the blade away with a single finger.
