Revona raised her other hand as the Void Origin Eyes shone through the black fire.
"Then I will nullify the devouring power as well."
A pale hollow ripple spread from her gaze, and the black flames nearest to Return To Nothing began fading. Max’s Devouring Flames Domain roared as the flames surged again, trying to feed on the nullifying ripple.
But Revona’s Void Origin Eyes locked onto the structure of the devouring authority and erased several layers of it before it could bite back. For a moment, the battlefield inside the domain settled into a horrifying balance.
Max’s black flames devoured the outer power of Return To Nothing, while Revona’s eyes nullified the devouring process itself.
Neither side could pletely overwhelm the other, but the clash was forcing both of them toward their limits. Max’s four Divine Veins roared inside him, Divine King Punishment continued rumbling above, and Dragonheart trembled in his hand.
The Devouring Flames Domain kept burning, yet Revona’s Return To Nothing still advanced inch by inch.
Max’s eyes turned colder.
’Not enough.’
The four Divine Veins had pushed his body beyond what most geniuses could imagine, and the Devouring Flames Domain had created the hidden battlefield he needed.
Divine King Punishment forced pressure from above while Dragonheart and the Emotion Severing Path still waited for the decisive moment. But against Revona’s fully awakened Void Origin Eyes and Return To Nothing, even that was not enough to guarantee victory.
He needed a gap. A real gap. Something Revona could not see in time, something that would arrive outside the rhythm of what her eyes were reading.
Max inhaled slowly. Then the 5000 Draconic Essences within him awakened, all of them at once.
Boom!
His body erupted with a roar that sounded like thousands of dragons awakening inside a single human frame.
The black flames bent around him, the Divine King Punishment trembled above him, and his veins, bones, flesh, and blood all released an ancient draconic pressure that caused even the Devouring Flames Domain to expand violently.
The first hundred essences ignited. Then five hundred. Then a thousand. Then two thousand. Then all five thousand Draconic Essences blazed at once, and Max’s physical aura changed pletely. It became savage, ancient, oppressive, and impossibly heavy.
Then black dragon scales spread across his body.
"Dragon Scales Transformation."
The transformation did not appear as a simple armor this time.
The scales emerged with the full support of the 5000 Draconic Essences, each one looking like a fragment of a chaotic black dragon’s hide, hard enough to resist divine weapons and dense enough to carry the weight of ancient bloodline pressure.
His hands became claw-like beneath the scale armor, his shoulders widened slightly, and his pupils sharpened as the aura around him rose beyond the level created by the four Divine Veins alone.
The Vein of Opening stabilized his foundation. The Vein of Vitality fed the transformation. The Vein of Speed sharpened his movement, and the Vein of Strength fused with the draconic essences.
But the full Dragon Scales Transformation pushed everything further, far further, and Max’s physical strength broke past its previous limit.
Revona’s expression finally became truly solemn. The Return To Nothing continued moving, but Max stepped forward through its pressure.
One step, and the black flames around his scales were erased. The lightning near his shoulder vanished, but his body did not stop.
Second step, and the Devouring Flames Domain roared, swallowing more of the outer void power.
Third step, and the 5000 Draconic Essences pushed his body forward against the hollowing force.
Revona’s eyes flashed as she raised her hand and focused Return To Nothing directly toward his chest.
Max disappeared. Not with space, and not with ordinary speed. The Vein of Speed, Dragon Scales Transformation, and 5000 Draconic Essences erupted together, and his body moved so violently that the black flames behind him exploded into a tidal wave.
Revona’s eyes followed Max, and they still found him.
Even inside the Devouring Flames Domain, even with black flames devouring perception from every direction, even with Divine King Punishment raining seven-colored thunder from above, and even with four Divine Veins roaring inside Max’s body alongside 5000 Draconic Essences pushing his Dragon Scales Transformation beyond its previous limit, those terrifying Void Origin Eyes still locked onto his movement.
But at that exact moment, the clone moved out of his dimensional space.
Hidden deep within the black flames, where the outside world could not see and where even Revona’s sight was being forced to divide itself among too many dangers at once, the clone released the Time Concept.
It did not attack Revona directly, and it did not create killing intent. It did not aim to pierce, burn, crush, or bind her. It only touched the rhythm of time inside the Devouring Flames Domain with delicate precision.
For a fraction of a breath, the black flames near Revona slowed. For another fraction, the flow around Max’s body accelerated. The difference was tiny, too tiny for ordinary geniuses to notice. But against someone like Revona, even that small delay should have been enough.
Max’s figure vanished from the path her Void Origin Eyes were reading and reappeared at her side, his scaled body moving with the bined force of the Vein of Speed, Vein of Strength, Dragon Scales Transformation, and 5000 Draconic Essences. Dragonheart rose in his hand, and the Emotion Severing Path condensed along the edge of the blade with cold and silent killing precision.
Revona’s eyes shifted. The clone tightened the Time Concept, and a brief temporal heaviness descended around her body. It was not a full stop, and it was not enough to freeze the world, but it was enough to delay her action for the smallest moment.
Max’s sword began to fall. For the first time, the strike seemed as though it would truly arrive before Revona’s Void Origin Eyes could perfectly align with the present.
Then Revona’s expression changed. Not into panic, and not into fear, but into absolute calm.
Her eyes stopped chasing Max’s sword. They stopped chasing the clone. They stopped chasing the lightning, the black flames, the draconic aura, and the divine-vein force. Instead, the Void Origin Realm inside her pupils suddenly expanded outward.
"Void Origin Realm."
Her voice was quiet, but it spread through the black flames like a verdict from emptiness itself.
"Null Origin Tide."
