The opalescent void expanse shimmered beneath a sky that wasn't there, its featureless plane swallowing light in a sheen of pearlescent absence, each ripple a silent pull of erasure that gnawed at the soul. Shadows flickered without source, their chill leaching warmth from the bones, a voiceless vow to dissolve the heart into nothingness. The ground was neither solid nor void, a shifting haze that resisted footing, each step a defiance against the expanse's will to unmake. Beyond a rift where the void's core pulsed with a lightless abyss, a chasm yawned—an empty vortex that radiated a force so vast it could consume the cosmos itself. The Void Sovereign, the ninety-seventh force, had awakened, its boundless nothingness of infinite power a silent vow to swallow Lin Feng's spirit into oblivion.
