The Azure Moon Secret Realm was collapsing.
The sky cracked like shattered glass.
Mountains crumbled.
The giant formation that once covered the entire realm flickered violently as ancient runes shattered one by one.
But at the center of the chaos—
Two figures clashed like gods.
Lin Ye.
And Mo Wuying.
Heaven-Slaughter Form
Dark wings of energy spread behind Lin Ye.
The Heaven-Slaughter Form made his entire body glow with violent power.
The Shadow Dragon Spear trembled with excitement as if it had found its true master.
Lin Ye grinned.
"So…"
"You wanted my destiny."
He pointed the spear forward.
"Come take it."
Mo Wuying's purple eyes glowed coldly.
"You misunderstand."
"I am not taking it."
His aura exploded outward.
"I am devouring it."
BOOM!
Mo Wuying rushed forward.
His palm struck like lightning.
Lin Ye met the attack head-on.
CLANG!
The spear collided with Mo Wuying's palm.
The impact shattered the ground beneath them.
A massive shockwave blasted across the battlefield.
Even dozens of meters away—
Su Qingyue and Mu Ling'er struggled to stay standing.
Realm Destruction
The secret realm could no longer handle the pressure of their battle.
CRACK.
A giant tear appeared in the sky.
Outside world light began leaking through.
Disciples across the battlefield panicked.
"The realm is breaking!"
"We must escape!"
Sect elders waiting outside had already begun opening emergency portals.
One by one—
Disciples started fleeing toward the collapsing sky rift.
The Full Battle
Meanwhile—
Lin Ye attacked again.
"Shadow Dragon Strike!"
The spear thrust forward like a raging dragon.
Mo Wuying raised his hand calmly.
Dark energy gathered in his palm.
BOOM!
The attacks collided.
Energy storms spread across the mountain.
Mo Wuying stepped back slightly.
His eyes narrowed.
"Your power grows quickly."
Lin Ye spun the spear confidently.
"Thanks."
"I steal well."
Mo Wuying's voice turned colder.
"But power borrowed from fate…"
"…will eventually collapse."
He raised both hands.
The remaining formation energy gathered into a giant crimson sphere.
"Blood Sacrifice Art."
The sphere shot toward Lin Ye.
Lin Ye didn't dodge.
Instead—
He activated his new ability.
"Destiny Devour."
The Shadow Dragon Spear glowed intensely.
The crimson energy was swallowed by the spear like water into a black hole.
Mo Wuying's calm expression finally cracked.
"You…"
Lin Ye smiled.
"Yeah."
"I eat energy now."
Su Qingyue's Confession
Behind them—
Su Qingyue watched the battle anxiously.
The collapsing realm made escape urgent.
But Lin Ye was still fighting.
Mu Ling'er crossed her arms.
"You should go."
Su Qingyue shook her head.
"I won't leave him."
Mu Ling'er raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?"
Su Qingyue looked toward the battlefield.
Her voice became quiet.
"Because…"
"…I care about him."
Mu Ling'er blinked.
Then laughed softly.
"Well well."
"The ice princess finally melts."
Su Qingyue's face turned slightly red.
But she didn't deny it.
The Final Clash
Lin Ye and Mo Wuying rushed toward each other again.
BOOM!
Their final collision shattered the entire mountain peak.
Mo Wuying's chest was pierced by the Shadow Dragon Spear.
Blood spilled across the air.
For the first time—
Mo Wuying coughed violently.
"You…"
Lin Ye leaned closer.
"Bad plan."
The spear absorbed more of Mo Wuying's energy.
The villain's aura weakened.
The collapsing sky rift grew larger.
The secret realm was seconds away from total destruction.
The Escape
Mu Ling'er grabbed Su Qingyue's arm.
"Time to leave!"
But Su Qingyue shouted.
"Lin Ye!"
Lin Ye looked back briefly.
"Go!"
"I'll catch up!"
Reluctantly—
Both women ran toward the escape portal.
The remaining disciples had already disappeared.
The realm was nearly empty.
The Unexpected Kiss
Just before jumping into the portal—
Mu Ling'er suddenly stopped.
She ran back toward Lin Ye.
"Wait!"
Lin Ye turned.
"What?"
Without warning—
Mu Ling'er grabbed his collar and kissed him quickly.
Lin Ye froze.
"…What just happened?"
Mu Ling'er smiled mischievously.
"That's your reward."
She winked.
"Try not to die."
Then she jumped into the portal beside Su Qingyue.
Lin Ye stood there stunned.
"…Wow."
Even Mo Wuying looked confused.
Realm Collapse
The sky finally shattered completely.
The entire secret realm began imploding.
Lin Ye pulled his spear free.
"Alright villain."
"Time to go."
Mo Wuying slowly stood up.
Blood covered his robes.
But strangely—
He began laughing.
Lin Ye frowned.
"…Why are you laughing?"
Mo Wuying's eyes glowed again.
"You think you won?"
His body slowly turned into black mist.
"This was only…"
"…a fragment of my soul."
Lin Ye's eyes widened.
Mo Wuying's voice echoed across the collapsing realm.
"The real me…"
"…waits in the Upper Martial World."
The mist vanished completely.
Only his laughter remained.
The true villain had survived.
Final Escape
The realm began collapsing inward like a dying star.
Lin Ye sighed.
"Of course."
"Villains never die easily."
He activated Shadow Step.
WHOOSH!
Just before the realm completely imploded—
Lin Ye jumped through the final portal.
BOOM.
The Azure Moon Secret Realm vanished from existence.
Outside—
The surviving disciples gathered around the exit formation.
Everyone looked exhausted.
When Lin Ye stepped out—
Su Qingyue's eyes lit up.
"You're alive."
Lin Ye grinned.
"Of course."
Mu Ling'er laughed.
"I told you he wouldn't die."
But far away—
In a dark unknown dimension—
A figure slowly opened his eyes.
Mo Wuying's real body sat inside a massive black palace.
He whispered quietly.
"Lin Ye…"
"Our real game…"
"…has just begun."
