Realizing that his time was running out, Elishen made a desperate decision.
He began burning his own Infinite Source Life Energy.
The moment the flames of his life force ignited, his aura exploded upward. His strength doubled almost instantly, reaching an absurd level equivalent to the combined power of one hundred ordinary Infinite Source Gods.
Elishen had completely lost his reason.
Only one thought remained in his mind.
He had to obtain the armor covering Solanky's body.
Even if it meant burning away his own Infinite Source Life Energy to peel the armor from Solanky's flesh, he was willing to pay that price.
For the first time since activating his Full-Body Armor, Solanky felt genuine danger.
Elishen's current strength had risen to a level that nearly matched his own.
Without the Source Severing Blade, the flaming broadsword alone would no longer be enough.
Solanky frowned.
"He's gone completely insane."
"Burning Infinite Source Life Energy in this plane of existence..."
"Doesn't he realize he won't recover even one percent of it after fifty thousand samsaras?"
His gaze settled upon Elishen's bloodshot eyes.
"So your target was my armor all along."
A faint smile appeared on Solanky's face.
"If you're willing to sacrifice that much for it..."
"Then I'll satisfy your curiosity."
Without warning, Solanky vanished.
His speed had become so great that it resembled instantaneous teleportation.
He slammed directly into Elishen before the latter could react.
The impact sent Elishen flying beyond the boundaries surrounding the Infinite Source Worlds and into the mysterious region that existed outside every known world.
Solanky smiled calmly.
Stretching out his hand, he summoned the Source Severing Blade.
Meanwhile, Elishen gradually stabilized himself.
Although his power remained unstable, he slowly adapted to the terrifying surge flowing through his body.
He attempted to teleport back to his own Infinite Source World.
Halfway through the teleportation, he suddenly stopped.
His gaze shifted into the endless distance.
Several nearby Infinite Source Worlds entered his vision.
A sinister grin spread across his face.
Without hesitation, he charged toward them.
His speed far exceeded what he had displayed even after absorbing the powers of the four Infinite Source Gods.
The moment Solanky realized Elishen's intentions, his expression changed dramatically.
"Not good."
"I have to completely sever his Source Life from its origin before he becomes a Calamitous Devil."
"If that happens..."
"...everything will become far worse."
Unfortunately, he was already too late.
Before Solanky could pursue him, Elishen had already arrived before another Infinite Source World.
The owner and creator of that world immediately confronted him.
The battle lasted only moments.
Empowered by the reckless burning of his Infinite Source Life Energy, Elishen overwhelmingly suppressed the defending Infinite Source God before destroying his physical body.
The world's owner immediately abandoned his shattered body.
Using only his soul, he merged completely with his world's Source Core in an attempt to reinforce the Source Wall protecting his world.
It was a desperate final gamble.
Yet before Elishen's terrifying power...
It accomplished nothing.
Like a crazed devil, Elishen drove his claw-like fingers into the reinforced Source Wall.
With brutal force, he tore it apart as though ripping through a piece of cloth.
He barged directly into the Infinite Source World.
What followed was nothing short of a massacre.
Every multiverse he encountered was reduced to nothing.
Countless Source Worlds were devoured one after another.
Within only five seconds...
Two-thirds of the entire Infinite Source World had been destroyed.
The Source Core shattered.
Every remaining lifeform perished alongside it.
Without pausing for even a moment, Elishen teleported again.
His next destination lay over eighty billion light-years away.
Watching everything unfold, Solanky's expression darkened.
His anger steadily rose.
As long as Elishen continued burning his Infinite Source Life Energy, his speed remained twice as fast as Solanky's.
There was simply no way to stop his rampage through brute pursuit alone.
Another Infinite Source World soon came under attack.
Once again, Elishen descended like a catastrophe.
Its owner fell almost immediately beneath his overwhelming strength.
Most Infinite Source Gods simply could not contend against his current power.
Knowing direct pursuit had become meaningless, Solanky activated his Eye Observation Technique.
Countless calculations and future trajectories unfolded within his mind.
After completing his deductions, he instantly teleported.
He appeared before a distant Infinite Source World unlike any he had ever encountered.
There was no owner.
No creator.
No Source Wall.
Even more astonishing...
There was no centralized Source Core.
Instead, the Source Core's energy had been evenly dispersed throughout the entire world.
Every living being naturally absorbed those energies as they cultivated toward higher realms.
The strongest existence within the world had only reached the Perfect Source God realm.
As Solanky examined the world more carefully, his heart trembled.
Not only had the Source Core been dispersed...
Every being possessing a soul carried the essence of its own soul entirely within itself.
No higher existence could manipulate their souls.
No creator controlled their destinies.
Every individual truly possessed freedom over their own fate.
A warm smile appeared on Solanky's face.
This...
This was exactly the kind of Infinite Source World he had always wished to see.
A world where every being possessed genuine freedom.
A world where destiny belonged only to oneself.
Unfortunately...
His happiness lasted only a moment.
In the distance...
Elishen was rapidly approaching.
His terrifying aura engulfed the surrounding space.
Solanky immediately tightened his grip around the Source Severing Blade.
He charged toward Elishen without hesitation.
He refused to allow their battle to reach that peaceful world.
Seeing Solanky rushing toward him, Elishen laughed maniacally.
Any fear he once held toward Solanky and the Source Severing Blade had completely vanished.
He now resembled a devil whose sole purpose was to spread calamity across every Infinite Source World in existence.
Solanky gripped the sword with both hands.
Without hesitation...
He swung.
The Source Severing Blade cut forward with every ounce of his strength.
At that very instant...
The mysterious space beyond all Infinite Source Worlds was sliced apart as effortlessly as silk meeting a burning laser.
The four divine flames intertwined perfectly.
They fused into an entirely unknown flame.
Its destructive power exceeded that of the original four flames by more than tenfold.
The unknown flame transcended ordinary concepts.
It swept across existence with omnipresent and omnipotent force.
Elishen roared as he slashed forward with his devilish claws in a final act of resistance.
It was meaningless.
The unknown flame instantly engulfed him.
His body...
His soul...
His Source Life...
Everything was annihilated without leaving behind the slightest trace.
Not a single remnant remained.
Solanky silently watched as the unknown flame dispersed into countless tiny fiery blades.
The countless blades disappeared into the layers between space and time.
They traveled across countless timelines.
Past...
Present...
Future...
Every existence, possibility, and connection related to Elishen was severed simultaneously.
As the wielder of the slash, Solanky could clearly perceive everything.
Every trace of Elishen's existence was being erased from reality itself.
Even after winning the battle...
Solanky felt no joy.
His victory had come too late.
Countless innocent lives had already been devoured during Elishen's rampage.
Although the great tear within space eventually healed...
It left behind an empty region of absolute nothingness.
A place where no laws, matter, or life could ever exist again.
Solanky slowly stretched out his hand.
He gently gathered the ownerless Infinite Source World together with the shattered remnants of the worlds destroyed during Elishen's rampage.
Holding them carefully, he began making his way back.
Far beyond that battlefield...
At an immeasurable distance from every Infinite Source World...
A colossal serpent lay coiled within the endless unknown.
It possessed seven enormous heads.
Its body stretched for hundreds of billions of light-years.
Throughout the entire battle, it had remained completely still, silently observing everything that had occurred.
It was a Calamitous Being.
One that survived by devouring Infinite Source Worlds and Infinite Source Gods alike.
One of its seven heads slowly opened its eyes.
A deep voice echoed through the endless darkness.
"It seems our era of feasting upon Infinite Source Worlds is drawing to an end."
Its enormous eyes narrowed thoughtfully.
"Those flames..."
"Even I cannot say with certainty that I would survive them."
The seven-headed serpent slowly rose.
"We must eliminate this threat."
The colossal Calamitous Being disappeared into the endless unknown, its body vanishing silently as it departed to prepare for the inevitable confrontation.
