Chapter 469 Domain: Boundless Space and Time [4000 words]

The silver-white vector blade shadows poured down like a torrential downpour, each blade surrounded by tiny spatial rifts, accompanied by a terrifying sharp whistling that tore through the void, forcibly cutting the air into chaotic airflow wherever it passed.

The leader of Tianyuan was firmly imprisoned in place by the massive amount of vector information within the boundless spacetime domain. His limbs and bones felt as heavy as lead, and even his eyelids could hardly tremble.

He could only watch helplessly as those deadly blades pierced through his body, unable to even muster a thought of resistance.

His senses, including sight, hearing, and touch, had long been completely blocked by the domain. He could neither feel the pain of being pierced by a sharp blade nor mobilize any abyssal energy.

Consciousness struggles frantically in the endless ocean of information, like a lone boat in a raging storm.

'No...impossible!'

'I carry the glory of my elders, how could I possibly be defeated by some nobody!'

The consciousness of the leader of Tianyuan was screaming and howling madly.

In reality, his body is disintegrating and dissolving at a visible rate.

The azure blood mixed with viscous black abyssal energy splashed out. As soon as the energy left the body and came into contact with the vector force field of the domain, it was instantly disintegrated into the most basic energy particles, and even the trajectory of the splash was forcibly distorted.

Ultimately, all of these things were absorbed and devoured by the vector vortex at the core of the domain, turning into nourishment for the Heavenly Dao Domain.

The leader of Tianyuan could clearly sense his own existence rapidly dissipating; this sense of powerless annihilation was more despairing than death itself.

At the same time, the two light fish that had been wrapped around him and emitted a ghostly blue glow broke free from his body's restraints at the moment when the host was on the verge of collapse, and let out a sharp and mournful cry.

They swayed their streamlined bodies, trying to break through the pale gold barrier to escape.

However, this seemingly agile escape is nothing short of a joke within the realm of the Heavenly Dao.

They had barely swum half a meter when several precise vector blade shadows shot towards them like arrows locking onto their prey.

The blade pierced through the illusory body of the light fish without any hindrance, shattering it into a swirling cloud of dark blue energy mist.

With a flick of his finger, the Heavenly Dao sent out a condensed, silk-like vector force line that precisely wrapped around the tiny blue crystal, no bigger than a grain of rice, at the center of the energy mist.

That is the core of the Pisces clone, containing a trace of the original power originating from the Zodiac's main body, which is the foundation of the clone's existence.

"The twelve signs of the zodiac..."

The Heavenly Dao's eyes were indifferent as ice, showing no reverence whatsoever for this legendary 'being'.

With a slight exertion of force from the Heavenly Dao's fingers, the invisible vector force field tightened instantly.

It was as if an invisible giant hand had grasped the blue crystal.

The crystal silently shattered and crumbled into dust, eventually dissipating into a wisp of pale blue smoke within the area.

With the destruction of its core, the Heavenly Abyss leader's body completely lost its last source of energy, collapsing to the ground with a crash, and then rapidly disintegrating into countless pale blue specks of light.

Those points of light floated in the air for less than a breath before being completely engulfed and swallowed by the domain's vector vortex.

Only then did the Heavenly Dao slowly retract the cascading vector blade shadows, casting its calm gaze upon the Abyss Lord projection, which had long since frozen in fear and forgotten even to roar.

Without the energy boost from the Pisces clone, the Abyss Lord projection, which already relied on external forces to maintain its form, instantly weakened by more than half.

The originally solid black phantom became somewhat transparent, and even began to show unstable fluctuations at its edges.

It felt a fear that came from the depths of its soul, and let out a deafening yet cowardly roar. It no longer dared to have the slightest thought of attacking, and turned to flee madly toward the abyss passage in the void that was not yet fully closed.

Within the boundless spacetime domain covered by the Heavenly Dao for hundreds of meters, space had already been completely locked, forming an airtight energy cage. Its attempt to escape was undoubtedly a futile struggle.

The Heavenly Dao didn't bother with any more words. With a thought, the vector vortex at the core of the domain suddenly accelerated, its rotation speed increasing several times over, causing a noticeable distortion in the surrounding space.

Countless silver-white vector lines shot out wildly from the vortex, like a huge fishing net covering a wide area, instantly binding the Abyss Lord projection that was trying to escape.

Sensing danger, the projection struggled frantically, its black abyssal energy surging and forming sharp energy spikes as it tried to break free from the constraints of the force lines.

But these vector force lines clung to it like maggots clinging to a bone.

Not only did it render it immobile, but it also continuously extracted abyssal energy from its body. The extracted energy flowed back along the force lines and eventually merged into the vector vortex, becoming the 'nourishment' of the Heavenly Dao.

"Disappear."

The Heavenly Dao spoke softly, its tone as calm as if it were stating a trivial matter.

The next second, the vector force lines wrapped around the projection tightened instantly and began to rotate at an extremely high speed.

A piercing sound of energy annihilation suddenly rang out, so sharp it was like metal scraping against metal, making one's eardrums ache.

The Abyss Lord's projected body was forcibly torn and crushed by the rotating force lines, and countless black energy fragments scattered everywhere.

However, these fragments were intercepted by the domain's vector force field as soon as they flew out, and none of them could escape the domain's range. In the end, they were all absorbed by the vector vortex and completely destroyed.

In the blink of an eye, the projection of the Abyss Lord, which terrified Anqin and the other elite team members and was capable of easily destroying a city, completely disappeared from the world, leaving not even a trace of energy behind.

Having dealt with all the powerful enemies, the Heavenly Dao moved its mind, and the boundless spacetime domain covering a hundred-meter radius began to slowly shrink.

The starry sky-like domain began to shrink continuously, and the vector blade shadows and force lines within the domain also dissipated.

Finally, the entire domain transformed into a condensed, pale silver-white stream of light, merging into his body like a bird returning to its nest.

The moment the domain dissipated, the distorted space around them quickly returned to normal. The rock fragments that had been suspended in the air lost the support of the force field and fell to the ground with a dull thud, kicking up clouds of dust.

The black pillar of light that shot straight into the sky above the palace, having lost its energy support, collapsed and dissipated rapidly, like a kite with a broken string.

The abyss passage in the void slowly closed amidst twists and turns.

Before long, the abyssal energy that was originally so dense it was suffocating began to recede rapidly like the tide and disappeared completely.

After an unknown amount of time, Lei Xiao and Shi Jian finally arrived at Tian Dao's side.

Their expressions were somewhat complicated; they were clearly still recovering from the shocking battle they had just witnessed.

Following their gaze, what came into view was a chaotic square.

The ground was covered with gullies of varying depths and pebbles.

A faint energy fluctuation still lingered in the air.

In the distance, the once magnificent black palace is now teetering on the brink of collapse, ready to crumble at any moment.

But what truly shocked them, compared to all that, was the figure hovering in mid-air not far away.

They had just witnessed the entire battle between the Heavenly Dao and the Pisces clone, as well as the projection of the Abyss Lord.

That absolute dominance completely overturned their understanding.

Especially the Heavenly Dao's domain, the Boundless Spacetime Domain. It not only possesses unparalleled defensive capabilities, but can also convert enemy attacks into its own energy, combining terrifying offensive, defensive, and devouring abilities, making even veteran Calamity-level powerhouses pale in comparison.

After a moment of silence, Shi Jian sighed, "So, we really have gotten old."

Lei Xiao, who was standing next to him, nodded, clearly sharing a similar idea with Shi Jian.

Although he had overheard their conversation, Tiandao said nothing.

He slowly raised his hand and gently pressed it against the crumbling black palace.

The next second, the invisible vector force field transformed into a giant, invisible hand, instantly covering the entire palace.

In an instant, the abyss patterns on the palace surface that shimmered with eerie light rapidly collapsed and went out under the crushing force of the vector force field. Without the support of the patterns, the entire palace began to tremble violently, fine cracks appeared on the walls, and rubble kept falling from above.

Moments later, with a deafening roar, the seemingly indestructible palace, built of special black rock, collapsed and turned into a huge pile of rubble.

With a gentle flick of his finger, a silver-white vector force line precisely lifted a black fragment engraved with a double fish pattern from the pile of rubble.

The black fragment felt cool to the touch, and the double fish pattern carved on its surface was lifelike, faintly emitting a faint blue light.

Within this light, there was also a faint trace of abyssal energy.

The Heavenly Eye of the Star Eclipse slightly opened, its azure light piercing through the surface of the fragment, instantly revealing its complex internal structure.

Within this fragment, a faint spiritual imprint remained, clearly a contingency plan left by the Pisces entity itself.

"A miracle stone that can continuously differentiate? That's rather unexpected."

A cold smile curled at the corner of Tiandao's mouth. He condensed an extremely refined vector force field at his fingertips and gently touched the black fragment.

The spiritual imprint hidden deep within the token couldn't wait to transmit information as soon as it sensed the touch of the outside world.

But before it could send any signal, it was instantly crushed and annihilated by that vector force field, leaving not even a trace.

Then, Tiandao casually tossed the black thing to Caroline, who was walking over, and said, "Study this thing carefully. It might bring us a pleasant surprise."

Caroline nodded and carefully placed the fragment into a specially made box for safekeeping.

A moment later, Tiandao looked around, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the rubble, residual energy, and scattered corpses of Tianyuan members on the ground, before speaking again.

"Caroline, you lead your team to thoroughly clean up the battlefield, focusing on collecting all experimental data, energy crystals, and various star energy weapons from the Tianyuan Organization. Don't miss any details."

"Senior Lei, Senior Shi, I would like to ask you two to split up and patrol the surrounding ten-mile radius to thoroughly investigate and prevent any remaining fugitives from hiding in the shadows."

"it is good."

The crowd responded in unison, their voices filled with respect and conviction.

After that exhilarating and overwhelming battle, their reverence for the Dao had penetrated to the bone, and no one dared to question any of his orders anymore.

Even veteran Calamity-level powerhouses like Lei Xiao and Shi Jian were completely convinced of this young leader's abilities.

Just as everyone was preparing to take action, a very faint spatial fluctuation suddenly came from the distant void. The fluctuation was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible to ordinary people.

However, as an experienced veteran of the Calamity-level powerhouse, Lei Xiao was extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations. His expression changed instantly, and he immediately activated the lightning-attribute star energy within his body.

Crackling purple arcs of electricity crackled around Lei Xiao as he warily looked in the direction from which the fluctuations came and shouted in a deep voice, "Who?!"

Before Lei Xiao could speak, the Heavenly Dao had already taken the first step, slowly raising its head to glance at the void.

As the Star Eclipse Eye operated at full power, its azure gaze instantly pierced through layers of spatial barriers, revealing the faint blue spiritual imprint in the void that was rapidly dissipating.

The energy fluctuations of this mark are completely of the same origin as the spiritual mark remaining in the fragment. It is clear that the Pisces main body sensed the fall of its clone and released a probing mark through the fragment to try to glean the outcome of the battle here.

"Want to go?"

The Heavenly Dao snorted coldly and raised its hand to lightly tap the void.

A vector force line, condensed to its extreme and almost disappearing into the void, shot out instantly, like a sharp arrow piercing through time and space, directly penetrating the spatial barrier and chasing after the rapidly dissipating spiritual imprint.

A short while later, a very faint groan came from the void, a groan tinged with pain and disbelief. Then the spiritual imprint was completely annihilated, and there was no more movement.

Clearly, the Pisces entity, far away in an unknown place, was slightly affected by this vector force line that crossed space, suffering a minor injury.

This scene deeply shocked everyone present, and their eyes were filled with awe and fear as they looked at the Heavenly Dao.

Across vast spatial distances, with just a fleeting mental imprint, they could pinpoint the source of the imprint precisely and launch a counterattack that transcended space. This terrifying power far exceeded their comprehension.

Lei Xiao secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, they were companions of the Heavenly Dao and stood on the same side. Otherwise, facing such a terrifying being who was like a god, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The Heavenly Dao withdrew its gaze, completely unconcerned about the shocked expressions on everyone's faces.

He turned and walked to the pile of rubble formed by the collapse of the palace. The vector force field under his feet spread slightly, like an invisible bulldozer, pushing aside the mountain of rubble and revealing a dark door hidden beneath it.

The surface of the hidden door was covered with abyssal patterns that were more complex and bizarre than those of the palace. These patterns were still shimmering slightly and emitting faint energy fluctuations, clearly indicating that it was a secret warehouse used by the Tianyuan Organization to store important supplies.

With a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Dao unleashed an invisible vector force field that swept across the hidden door, completely crushing and erasing the shimmering abyss patterns on its surface.

He then gave a gentle push, and the seemingly heavy hidden door, which required several people to move, was easily opened, revealing a pitch-black passage.

The passageway was filled with a rich abyssal energy aura, and behind the hidden door, a spacious warehouse was filled with a large number of abyssal energy crystals.

These crystals emitted a black light and had extremely high energy purity.

Meanwhile, rows of neatly arranged star-energy weapons, though strangely designed, can be put to use again with a little modification.

In addition, rows of crystal balls containing experimental data from the Tianyuan Organization floated on a specially designed energy rack in the distance, emitting a faint light.

"These things should be useful for headquarters to study the strength of the Tianyuan Organization and the characteristics of abyssal energy."

The Heavenly Dao spoke calmly, its tone devoid of any emotion.

Caroline immediately led several team members forward, took out specially made storage equipment, and began to systematically count and collect various supplies behind the secret door. They handled each item with great care, for fear of any damage, which made them appear very professional.

Just as everyone was frantically collecting supplies, An Qin's voice came through the communicator, her tone filled with barely concealed excitement: "Tiandao, we've discovered a hidden teleportation array in a secluded cave on the outskirts of the valley. It should be a secret passage used by the Tianyuan Organization for emergency evacuation!"

Upon hearing this, Tiandao flashed and instantly appeared in a hidden cave on the outskirts of the valley, as if by teleportation.

The cave was dimly lit, and the ground in the center was covered with strange teleportation array patterns, with faint traces of abyssal and spatial energy fluctuations remaining in the patterns.

Tiandao crouched down, his fingers gently touching the patterns of the teleportation array. An invisible vector force field spread out, quickly moving along the patterns, analyzing the spatial coordinates and energy structure of the teleportation array.

The Heavenly Dao's analytical speed was extremely fast; in just a few breaths, it had grasped all the information about the teleportation array.

A moment later, Tiandao stood up and said calmly, "The spatial coordinates of the teleportation array have been analyzed. However, its energy core and spatial nodes have been completely destroyed, and it cannot be activated or used in the short term."
