The "elimination" of Xu Ran elicited a strange laugh of relief from the Nightmare Vengeful Mother.

However, releasing the light wave consumed a great deal of energy, turning the zombie woman's face into a shattered mask, transforming into a cloud of powder that drifted and scattered everywhere.

It had little energy left — the body like a shriveled sack, the face turned to powder, and more dire was the Divine Core, initially a half-finished product, now crawling with alarming cracks as if it could shatter at any moment.

The nightmare's body trembled violently.

"Damn it! Damn it! After all the effort to prepare the Godhood Ceremony, it's been destroyed just like that..."

"I am now weak to the point of exhaustion, must retreat to another space, gather strength, and make a comeback..."

"As for the task of the Supreme God, I guess it's completed..."

With gritted teeth, the Nightmare Vengeful Mother transformed back into a mass of purple-green light.

But compared to before, the purple-green light had greatly improved, as it now contained a Divine Core, though full of cracks.

But its life level had been elevated.

"I will definitely make a comeback!"

The purple-green light gritted its teeth in a curse, immediately injecting energy into the Divine Core, ripples penetrating the Space-Time Barrier, attempting to tear open a narrow path to escape this world.

However, the next moment.

The Nightmare Vengeful Mother's voice filled with horror: "Huh? How could this be, this place's space-time is composed of countless fragments?"

"This is a shattered space-time, this isn't..."

It felt its hair stand on end, struggling to retreat backward.

But piece after piece of space-time fragments struck its body, dimming the purple-green light several times, with more cracks appearing on the Divine Core.

Seeing this scene.

Xu Ran's laughter echoed through the fleshly nest.

The Nightmare Vengeful Mother suddenly turned its head, looking at Xu Ran.

How is he still alive?

How is this possible?

Withstood my deadly attack?

"Shut up!"

The purple-green light angrily interrupted Xu Ran's ridicule.

Xu Ran laughed heartily: "Anxious!"

The word "anxious" hit a nerve in the purple-green light, causing its light to tremble.

Xu Ran sneered: "Do you have any more killing moves?"

As they spoke.

The young boy's eyes focused, an Origami Flying Knife materialized in his hand.

Radiant golden light gathered on the flying knife, becoming increasingly dazzling, shining bright as the sun, illuminating the entire underground space.

Aware that Xu Ran was gathering a killer move, hundreds of small green turtle-like heads stretched out from the purple-green light, their necks long as noodles, limply supporting the small heads, each one staring fixedly at Xu Ran, the anger in their eyes nearly tangible!

It hated Xu Ran so much!

Not only had he interrupted its Godhood Ceremony, but he stood above, trampling its dignity with a victor's posture.

He even intended to gather a finishing move to completely eliminate it? Is this something a human would do?

Do you not understand who the true god is?

Detestable!

To be repeatedly provoked by a kid, what a humiliation?!

In an instant, hundreds of green turtle heads opened mouths filled with sharp teeth, ejecting invisible Spiritual Shock bombs.

Egg-sized impact waves crashed into Xu Ran.

The flying knife shattered, the golden light extinguished, Xu Ran's body riddled with wounds.

Nightmare Vengeful Mother: "Surely dead this time?"

Yet behind it, Xu Ran's laughter resounded through the fleshly nest: "Enjoy!"

He's still alive?!

Nightmare Vengeful Mother was emotionally shaken.

This little brat is tougher to kill than a deity?!

A faint chuckle, quiet but tremendously insulting!!

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

The Nightmare Vengeful Mother turned sharply, seeing Xu Ran holding a flying knife. It was rather ordinary, except the knife's blade bore a simple red flower drawing.

"Whoosh—"

The flying knife was instantly thrown.

The Third Sequence's Divine Weapon Toss and Little Xu's Flying Knife were worlds apart, a mass of blazing golden shuttle, in an instant traversed to the front of the purple-green light, exploding violently.

Golden rays scattered, the purple-green light trembled violently, like a candle in the wind.

It already had little energy left.

Now three more layers had been blown away...

"Crack."

"Crack."

"Crack."

The Divine Core was already overwhelmed, and at this moment, it finally reached the breaking point. That eerie eye shattered in an instant!

The purple-green light cluster also extinguished and dimmed simultaneously.

"No! I am the God of Nightmares! No!"

The Nightmare Vengeful Mother roared unwillingly.

But it had no way to struggle anymore; everything in the flesh nest melted like candles, turning into puddles of viscous oil.

Without a doubt, the matter had come to an end.

Xu Ran let out a long sigh of relief.

So what if it's the God of Nightmares? Crush it directly!

Of course, it could only be blamed on the Nightmare Vengeful Mother for her bad luck.

Against another opponent, even one just at the Yue Realm, Xu Ran could only stare helplessly.

But the Nightmare Vengeful Mother was different, preferring young children, adept at abducting kids?

This was simply a natural counter...

Xu Ran could deceive Heaven, using false offerings to approach it...

Coupled with its ghostly nature, being inherently countered by Origami Divine Skill...

Death had all buffs stacked; if it didn't fall, who would?

Xu Ran's eyes glowed with gold.

His consciousness sank into his mind.

[Congratulations, you have destroyed the Divine Core of the God of Nightmares. Acquired Red Gold Achievement—Twilight of the Gods...]

[Twilight of the Gods (Red Gold Achievement)]: Blessed Fortune +100 points; Spiritual Power +5 points/daily;

1 drop of Divine Origin; (Your Root Bone is domineering and unique, requiring Divine Origin for nourishment! Henceforth, every time you slay a deity, you will crush its entirety, converting all its pollution, energy, and negative emotions into Divine Origin. The stronger the deity, the more Divine Origin ...)

"My first Red Gold Achievement in life, acquired!"

Xu Ran smiled contentedly, his gaze shifting, using Bat One to survey the city.

At this moment.

The city's turmoil was being quelled, the key being the disappearance of purple-green threads at the backs of children's heads, completely clean.

Uncle Ye's flute transformed into flower petals, soothing the spirits of the children.

"As long as the pollution caused by the Gu Huo Niang is completely cleared, the chaos of the past five years will officially come to an end."

His gaze returned.

He glanced at the empty flesh nest.

Xu Ran was about to leave.

Suddenly, a crimson golden glow flashed at a certain spot and vanished.

"Hmm? What is that?"

Xu Ran, curious, floated over.

"Earlier, when the Nightmare Vengeful Mother was horribly persecuted by me, leaving only a purple-green light cluster, it attempted to activate the Divine Core to destroy the Space-Time Barrier and escape into the sky."

"It seems this is the position it tried to destroy."

"However, it seemed to fail in its escape, and appears to have discovered something terrifying?"

The scene at that time emerged in Xu Ran's mind—the Nightmare Vengeful Mother's voice was horrified and trembling: 'How could this be, this space-time is comprised of countless fragments? This is a shattered space-time, this is not...'

The Nightmare Vengeful Mother screamed in terror, seemingly having seen something greatly frightening.

"What did it see? A space-time comprised of countless fragments? The information density isn't enough… This shouldn't have anything to do with the crimson golden glow; the Nightmare Vengeful Mother surely didn't discover the crimson golden glow."

Xu Ran frowned deeply.

He pondered for a moment.

Then carefully examined the location where the golden glow had flashed.

"I'm sure it wasn't a mistake on my part, nor could it have been my imagination. My eyesight is in perfect condition."

"There's definitely a unique treasure hidden within the Space-Time Barrier."

"The Space-Time Barrier needs to be broken to pry it out. But how do I break open the Space-Time Barrier? I don't currently have the capability to break the Space-Time Barrier…"

"Even slaying the Nightmare Vengeful Mother was due to the Origami Ability naturally countering the Nightmare Vengeful Mother. Should I try Knife Mantis One first?"

Analyzing for ten thousand years isn't as good as practicing it once. With just a thought, Knife Mantis One slashed towards the location where the crimson golden glow flashed.

Was the attack ineffective?

Xu Ran wasn't content, unleashing the Divine Weapon Toss.

The Space-Time Barrier still wasn't broken.

"It seems only by reaching the level of a god can the Space-Time Barrier be destroyed. I need to train the Magical Skills of the Fourth Sequence to pry this treasure out."

Xu Ran shook his head.

He originally planned to leave, when suddenly a pretty little face with white hair and brows floated into view.

"Zhu Yuheng! That's right, Zhu Yuheng with the Time Root Bone, could the light she gave me break the Space-Time Barrier?"

Xu Ran's eyes lit up and he immediately attempted.

"Still ineffective ... I overthought it, the Root Bone of a seven-year-old child, at most a passive trait, how could it break the Space-Time Barrier?"

"Should I return later to pry it?"

"In a few years, it won't leave, right?"

Xu Ran frowned, pondering deeply, and suddenly, his eyes brightened, as a flash of inspiration appeared.
