I started by slashing through the enemy's territory, and I drew so many affixes that my hands w

"Huh? Who's there!"

Faced with this sudden attack, Tuwen quickly gathered a spiritual energy shield in front of him and easily blocked the flying knife.

Then hundreds of small balls fell from the sky.

Then, it suddenly exploded!

Thick smoke instantly enveloped an area of ​​several hundred meters in radius, obscuring the view of the pictures and text.

After he waved his hand to disperse the smoke, he found that Jiang Qin, who was lying in the deep pit, had disappeared, leaving only a pit full of scarlet blood.

Sensing his surroundings, he quickly spotted two figures moving away. Tuwen's lips curled into a slight smile: "I didn't expect a little mouse to sneak in. It's been hiding for so long and only just shows itself now."

Distance from here.

Hundreds of meters away.

Su Lingwei was running quickly toward the edge of this area. She glanced at Jiang Qin behind her, whose gaze was unfocused. Having watched him closely from beginning to end, she knew very well what had happened.

She also guessed Jiang Qin's plan to temper his will through death.

So she only revealed herself when Jiang Qin could no longer hold on.

At this moment, Jiang Qin's eyes reflected the near-collapse of his spirit brought on by countless brushes with death.

During her time on the frontier, she saw far too many eyes like that.

"Jiang Qin! Why aren't you pulling yourself together?!"

"I only exposed myself to save you. If I die here, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

Jiang Qin showed no reaction whatsoever, as if he were now just a body, his soul long gone.

Upon reaching the border of the territory, Su Lingwei was stopped by a barrier.

She took out a throwing knife and stabbed it at the barrier with all her might, but apart from creating a ripple, the barrier was not damaged at all.

A burst of laughter came from the horizon.

"Although I don't know how you managed to hide your presence from me, if you hadn't come out, you might have actually survived. But now you've exposed yourself, with a burden in tow, and you still want to run away? You really don't take me seriously at all."

The image and text stand suspended in mid-air, having already concealed their illusory form.

He couldn't stand using the Dharma Form for too long, and besides, this little mouse was only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, far inferior to that young man, whom he could easily crush.

Ignoring everything else, Su Lingwei continued attacking the barrier.

Tuwen shook his head in disappointment. This was a domain generated by a domain-type spiritual artifact. There were only two ways to get out: first, to forcefully break through with the power of the Divine Image; second, for the user to die and the artifact to automatically dispel the domain.

"Since you care about him so much, then go to the underworld with him. Consider it a small act of mercy on my part."

As if bestowing these words upon someone, Tu Wen raised his hand and conjured a golden blade of light, which slashed down at Su Lingwei and the other person below with unstoppable force.

Su Lingwei suddenly had a shield in her hand and quickly channeled her spiritual energy to activate it.

The light blade collided with the shield, and in just a moment Su Lingwei was sent flying, collapsing to the ground and spitting blood.

The light blade dissipated, and the shield artifact was destroyed by this attack.

The text was initially surprised, but then it became clear that such a genius couldn't possibly be without a magical artifact by his side.

"I'd like to see how many defensive magical artifacts you can produce."

With a casual wave of his hand, hundreds of golden light blades condensed behind him, densely packed and dazzling, any one of which could easily kill a Spirit Sea Realm martial artist.

"go."

As countless golden light blades slashed down, a black umbrella appeared and enveloped Su Lingwei and Jiang Qin, blocking the golden light blades.

The earth was cleaved into countless holes, and its original terrain was no longer visible.

Tu Wen looked at the black umbrella with surprise, "It's actually a defensive magical artifact comparable to a Earth Martial Realm expert!"

This is a huge profit!

In comparison, the domain-type spiritual artifacts used up are nothing at all.

He reached out and forcefully snatched the black umbrella from Su Lingwei's hand. At this moment, she had exhausted her spiritual power to resist the attack and was unable to fight back.

Am I really going to die here?

Even at this point, she did not back down an inch, because behind her were her trusted comrades and captain. If she retreated, she would no longer be herself.

At this moment, deep in Jiang Qin's mind...

His soul felt as if it were falling into a bottomless abyss. With each inch it fell, his soul grew thinner, and that figure kept lingering in his ears.

But suddenly, that annoying voice disappeared.

Jiang Qin opened his eyes and found a hand holding him.

When he saw that face, his eyes quickly reddened and tears streamed down his face.

Even knowing it was his imagination, his soul still felt an uncontrollable sadness.

"Aunt Jiang..."

Jiang Mingrou seemed to be enveloped in a soft light, even the wrinkles between her brows looked so real as she calmly looked at him.

The sound echoed in the abyss.

"Xiaoqin, are you going to continue resting... Your friends are risking their lives to protect you outside, but now you're hiding here like a coward. I don't remember ever teaching you that."

"Is this the path of a martial artist you've chosen?"

"Weren't you supposed to finish the things I didn't complete?"

Whether the world is real or fake to you, whether their love for you is genuine or not, even if everyone around you is only close to you because they value your talent, none of that matters... Mom's love for you will always be real, and even if everyone abandons you, I will always be by your side.

"Because...we're family!"

Jiang Qin's eyes widened suddenly, and his soul, which had fallen into the abyss of his mind, quickly solidified again, radiating a light even stronger than before, as if to illuminate the entire abyss.

...

The man in the picture folded up his black umbrella and looked down with satisfaction at the weak woman below, who seemed to be losing her breath.

"I originally intended to torture you all properly, but considering you contributed this black umbrella, I'll grant you a quick death!"

A gigantic Dharma-image arm appeared.

Before he could launch an attack, several fine cracks suddenly appeared above his head and expanded rapidly at a visible speed, and the blood-red sky... cracked open.

The area was breached, and horror appeared in Tuwen's eyes as he looked up sharply.

"Someone came to help them?...No, that's not right."

"This is... a cataclysmic change in the heavens and earth!"

To break through from the Spirit Sea Realm to the Divine Manifestation Realm, one must communicate with Heaven and Earth.

A breakthrough to the Divine Aspect Realm can usually cause changes in the world within a small area of ​​a hundred meters. However, a supreme expert from China once caused changes in the world that covered an area of ​​several kilometers.

In short, the deeper the obsession, the larger the area of ​​mutation it triggers.

This represents the approval of Heaven.

As the domain shattered, Tuwen discovered that the clear sky outside the domain was now shrouded in endless dark clouds, covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers.

Lightning flashed in the boundless dark clouds, and every now and then a bolt of lightning would strike down.

It was this lightning that shattered the domain formed by the magical artifact.

"Boom—!"

"Boom—!"

Such a change in the heavens and earth is unprecedented.

Under the horrified gaze of the characters, Jiang Qin's body, which was originally half-dead, floated towards the thunderclouds above his head. The thunder, as if celebrating, became even more deafening, as if heaven and earth were celebrating and approving.

Approval... A new king is born!
