Initially, Zhang Xiaobo didn't dare to go. Although he was physically strong, he was only at Rank 2 at best. If the radiation there exceeded the limit and his body couldn't withstand it, wouldn't he be doomed?

Thankfully, the Blade Warrior assured everyone it was fine. After all, most Rank 3 warriors could resist normal radiation levels unless the pollution was truly overwhelming.

As for the fatty, though a Rank 2 warrior, he had surpassing prowess among Rank 2s. Wearing protective gear as well, how could radiation harm him? Blade Warrior cast a disdainful glance at the fatty's cowardly behavior.

The fatty's face flushed red, especially after seeing Feng Yi. Back in the old days, he had fought life-and-death battles on the battlefield. Now, being looked down upon by a woman in front of his old comrades—he found it utterly disgraceful.

So, gritting his teeth and stomping his foot, he muttered, "To hell with it! If I die, I die!" Without further hesitation, he followed the group onward.

A while later, everyone, carrying varied thoughts, arrived at the explosion zone—and their jaws dropped in astonishment...

What lay before them wasn't the aftermath of hand-made explosives; this was nothing short of hell...

At the epicenter of Sky Shadow's strike, currents still crawled intermittently, crackling audibly... Above was torrential rain pouring down, accompanied by thunder and lightning within a stormy sky. Below, the ground had turned into a sea of fire. Even from kilometers away, scorching waves radiating outward could still be felt brushing against their faces.

Looking down through the Blank Paper Realm, the breathtakingly spectacular yet horrifying scene resembled volcanic eruptions spewing lava. The endless rain from the sky quickly evaporated upon contact, forming hazardous volcanic-like substances hovering in the atmosphere, lingering stubbornly...

If one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who could have imagined the destruction wreaked by a single person to this extent?

Turning to Sky Shadow now—it was as if life had drained from him, leaving a desolate shell. His once sharp eyes were now dull and lifeless after the attack. He remained kneeling on the ground, gasping deeply for air.

"Did you do all this, Sky Shadow?"

Sky Shadow seemed entirely uninterested in Blade Warrior's question, merely repeating his mechanical panting without moving an inch.

With a muffled thud, Sky Shadow forced himself upright from a kneeling posture, transitioning to a crouch. Only then did he speak to the group: "What are you all standing around for? The first thing we need to confirm is whether that monster is dead."

"Feng Yi has already headed over. Are you okay?"

"Not dead yet."

Struggling to stand fully, Sky Shadow took a moment to stretch his limbs. His gaze drifted toward the distant epicenter of the explosion, momentarily lapsing into a daze...

Even Sky Shadow himself hadn't anticipated such terrifying destruction from his attack. Strictly speaking, he couldn't have even fathomed this outcome.

Previously, during his battle against the Cantelu warrior, his combat level hadn't yet reached this high. Back then, his attack was blocked effortlessly by the monster's single hand, and the resulting impact was nowhere near the current magnitude.

Moreover, at that time, Sky Shadow had no intent to engage in combat; his sole focus was on escaping, leaving him no opportunity to observe the effects of his strikes.

It could be said that this was his first time witnessing the true extent of damage he could inflict—so overwhelming that even he found it hard to believe.

"Was all this destruction caused by these hands...?"

Sky Shadow raised his hands, lingering his gaze on his palms in a momentary trance... Then, he let out a long exhale. Although his facial expression didn't change visibly, sharp eyes could discern that his mood was undoubtedly uplifted.

Snapping back to reality, Sky Shadow began to sense the rippling energies around him...

The sky reverted to its familiar blue hue, and even the storm clouds dispersed entirely after the tempestuous rainfall... In an instant, it was all over. The bizarre aura had vanished completely when Sky Shadow unleashed his ultra-powerful strike, the Fate Starburst.

It felt as if everything had been nothing but a dream.

Yes, it was over!

Even someone as sharp and perceptive as Sky Shadow couldn't detect any trace of the bizarre aura. This meant the indiscriminate attack had completely erased the bizarre presence from existence. When Roland confirmed this good news, the team initially fell silent for a moment before that silence gave way to cheers from Zhang Xiaobo and Blade Warrior.

Though the process was heart-stopping, the outcome was ultimately favorable. In fact, prior to executing the attack, Sky Shadow himself hadn't been certain of the results. He had hesitated to attempt it because it was his trump card. Yet, surprisingly, this extraordinary strike had actually succeeded in annihilating the bizarre entity—something beyond anyone's expectations. Could this mean, in some sense, that Sky Shadow had already surpassed every other member present?

However, Sky Shadow didn't seem to care much about this. Calmly, he reminded the group that Feng Yi hadn't returned yet, so they shouldn't celebrate prematurely. After all, the bizarre beings had developed intelligence, and their existence defied conventional reasoning. Waiting a bit longer might be smarter.

Feng Yi also possessed the same kind of energy. Put another way, his familiarity with such energy far surpassed the others. This was precisely why Feng Yi had gone to investigate the bizarre beings. Whether he could find anything remained up to fate—hopefully, he'd return with good news.

"I think there's no need to look anymore. That thing is definitely gone," Zhang Xiaobo speculated aloud.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Explaining to the group, Zhang Xiaobo described the bizarre entity: its magnetic field's intensity would undoubtedly surpass everyone's imagination. Forget this location—even if separated by several thousand kilometers, the team upon first arriving at the binary stars instantly detected the bizarre aura. Not only that, but they also sensed Feng Yi's comparatively weaker presence.

Of course, one couldn't exclude the importance of the star field in this. The star field no longer supported life, which meant Feng Yi, though distant, could still be sensed by those with strong mental power.

But when it came to the bizarre entity—the bizarre presence itself was a magnetic field apparition, far stronger than Feng Yi. If even such a powerful magnetic field couldn't be sensed, the truth was simple: it had been obliterated!

In other words, the bizarre entity had been entirely wiped from existence by Sky Shadow's Fate Starburst ultimate strike.

Blade Warrior rolled his eyes upon hearing this. "That's such an amateur assumption. What you're guessing, everyone has already considered. But I doubt it would vanish so easily."

Just as Blade Warrior finished speaking, Sky Shadow interjected: "Zhang Xiaobo's assumption isn't unwarranted. That monster's energy was indeed powerful and highly unique. If it were still alive, we wouldn't have failed to sense it."

"Huh? Sky Shadow, even you think this?" Blade Warrior was momentarily stunned before laughing to himself. It was undeniable: comparisons between people could be humiliating. Zhang Xiaobo's assumptions, though similar in thinking to Sky Shadow's, felt unreliable when spoken by him. Yet, when the same ideas came from Sky Shadow, they suddenly sounded perfectly reasonable.

"Roland, what's your take?"

"Heh, I don't know. Hopefully, things are as Sky Shadow says." Truth be told, Roland couldn't sense any bizarre aura either. Instead, his mental power—broadcast outward and extended—allowed him to detect Feng Yi positioned far away.

Tracking him with her mental power, Roland could easily sense Feng Yi at this moment. His eyes were half-closed as if listening to something. Occasionally, he would subtly turn in one direction to focus before ultimately retracting his mental power and sprinting back to the group with two swift strides.

Blade Warrior rushed forward to question Feng Yi, "So? Did you sense anything?"

Feng Yi let out a deep sigh, which was quickly replaced by a fleeting smile on his face. "Nothing at all. Perhaps, just maybe, we succeeded."

"Feng Yi, even you think so?"

Blade Warrior's heart filled with joy. While he respected Sky Shadow, the fatty, and Roland, he trusted Feng Yi most—his sharp-sensed old comrade-in-arms.
