Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

A black beam of light pierced through the heavens and earth, annihilating the void wherever it passed. The terrifying pressure of the Dark Corrosion Rules caused the defensive system of the Eternal Alliance below to tremble violently.

The defensive line formed by the Demon-Devouring Shield rippled, and the surface of the fifth-tier shield summoned by the leader of the Green Bamboo Demon was also covered with fine cracks.

Yun Yin and Feng Yan were deathly pale. They could only watch helplessly as the dark energy, powerful enough to devour a sixth-order being, was about to descend. Most of their energy had already been consumed in the previous fierce battle, and they had little strength left to even gather a defense again.

At this critical moment, a golden rift suddenly opened in the void, with dazzling golden light flowing through it, as if connecting to another sacred world forged from gold.

A hand covered in magnificent golden armor slowly emerged, the armor engraved with intricate runes, each rune radiating a powerful force of rules. The mere presence of the hand caused the raging dark erosion energy around it to freeze instantly.

"Who is it?"

Upon seeing this, a flicker of surprise finally crossed the otherwise perfectly calm darkness behind Astros's mask.

He could feel that the power contained in this palm far exceeded that of the sixth rank, and even the Dark Erosion Rules within his body felt a strange fear.

The black beam of light still fell fiercely, attempting to devour the suddenly appearing hand along with it.

But with a gentle clench of its golden hand, it firmly grasped the black beam of light, which was ten thousand meters in diameter, in its palm.

"Click—"

A crisp cracking sound echoed through the void. The black pillar of light, containing the power of abyssal annihilation, shattered inch by inch under the grip of the golden hand, like fragile glass. The dark erosion energy was instantly compressed into annihilation, turning into countless black light spots that dissipated into the void.

Immediately afterwards, a figure clad in golden armor slowly emerged from the golden gap.

He was tall and imposing, covered in golden armor with griffins carved on his shoulder armor, a gem that emitted seven-colored light embedded in his chest, and countless golden weapons of various shapes floating behind him, like stars surrounding him.

"Eighth rank... How is that possible!"

For the first time, Astros's voice wavered, filled with disbelief and horror.

He hadn't expected that the insignificant Eternal Alliance could find an eighth-rank expert to oversee things.

"I am the King of Gold, Jiga," the golden figure declared, his voice booming like a great bell, resounding throughout the universe.

"I've finally escaped from there! Hahahaha!"

Lin Xiao hovered above the Eternal Alliance, looking at that familiar golden figure, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This teleportation talisman was originally a reward given to him by the Golden King. He originally thought he would never have the chance to use it, but he did not expect that the leader of the Dark Eclipse Cult would be so powerful that even Yun Yin and Feng Yan could not withstand him when they joined forces.

Moreover, for the Golden King, the leader of a sixth-tier Dark Erosion Order was like using a dragon-slaying sword to kill a chicken.

But that's fine too, it lets the King of Gold catch his breath, since he can be outside for an hour anyway.

Astros quickly recovered from his shock, a ruthless glint flashing in the darkness behind the visor.

He knew that conventional methods were meaningless against an eighth-tier expert, and he could only resort to the deepest secrets of their order.

It was also something given to him by the bishop of the Dark Erosion Order.

He raised his hands high, and all the twisted runes on his black armor lit up. The Dark Corrosion Domain expanded wildly, and countless streams of Dark Corrosion energy converged from the void, forming a huge black altar above his head.

"God of the Mist above, believer Astros, I offer my faith in welcome of your arrival!"

Astros's voice was filled with fervent prayer as the dark erosion energy within him surged continuously into the black altar. The runes on the altar began to rotate, emanating an aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

As the sacrifice proceeded, the void above the black altar began to distort violently.

A massive rift slowly opened, filled with thick, dark purple mist. Countless eerie roars echoed from within, as if countless demons were about to descend.

Immediately afterwards, a massive phantom slowly emerged from the crack. This phantom had no specific form, as if it were formed from endless mist, surrounded by countless twisted dark erosion rules. The mere aura of the phantom caused the entire void to groan.

"Could that be... the phantom of the God of Mist?"

Yun Yin's mental fluctuations were filled with shock. He finally understood that the faith of the Dark Eclipse Cult was not unfounded. The power contained in this phantom was even more terrifying than that of the Golden King. It was just that it lacked a real entity, so its power could not be fully exerted.

However, the Golden King, Feng Yan, and Yan Ling sensed a familiar aura in the phantom of the God of Mist.

In an instant, the aura of the three of them suddenly became violent.

"Those eyes! That's right! It's him!" Feng Yan's voice was extremely sharp.

As the Golden King Jiga gazed at the phantom of the God of Mist, the runes on his golden armor shone even brighter.

"I never expected that my first appearance in the outside world would reveal such a scene!"

The Golden King, Jiga, stared intently at the phantom of the God of Mist, especially his eyes.

"That's right! It's that look! It was that look that trapped me in the Golden Soul Domain for millions of years!"

"But right now, you're nothing but a phantom. Revenge... begins now!"

"roar!"

Before the King of Gold could finish speaking, the phantom of the God of Mist launched an attack.

With a mere wave of its hand, countless dark purple mist tentacles surged forth from the void, each tentacle incredibly thick, containing a dark corrosive power powerful enough to corrode planets, sweeping towards the Golden King.

Wherever the tentacles passed, the spatial barriers crumbled inch by inch, the surrounding asteroid belt was instantly corroded into dust, and countless tiny planetary fragments were reduced to nothingness under the influence of the dark erosion energy.

"We can't stretch out here, let's... go to higher ground to fight!"

The King of Gold snorted coldly, then took a step, his figure piercing through the void and arriving at a higher place.

The illusory image of the god of mist, devoid of consciousness, also closely followed the king of gold.

"snort!"

The golden weapons floating behind the King of Gold were instantly unsheathed and shot towards the mist tentacles like a meteor shower.

These golden weapons are all different, including longswords, spears, warhammers, and bows and arrows, each containing the pure power of the golden rules.

Longswords cleaved through the void, spears pierced the mist, warhammers shattered the dark energy, and bows shot out golden arrows of light. Countless golden attacks collided with the dark purple tentacles, unleashing a deafening roar.

"Golden Realm, open!"

With a furious roar, the King of Gold unleashed a dazzling golden light, and a massive golden domain instantly expanded, covering an area of ​​tens of millions of kilometers.

He deliberately narrowed the scope of the Golden Domain, fearing it would affect the Eternal Alliance below.

Within the domain, all the dark erosion energy was instantly repelled, and countless golden lines flowed in the void, forming a huge golden network.

An asteroid happened to enter the golden zone. Instantly, the asteroid was covered with golden patterns, and the entire surface of the planet began to rapidly turn gold. From rocks to soil, from mountains to canyons, in just a moment, it transformed into a dazzling golden planet.

With a thought, the Golden King sent the golden planet hurtling toward the phantom of the God of Mist with the force to destroy everything.

"Within my domain, everything will turn to gold and come under my control!"

The King of Gold's voice was full of majesty. With a wave of his hand, countless fragments of planets and meteorites within his domain were rapidly turned to gold, condensing into countless golden weapons, which launched an overwhelming attack on the phantom of the God of Mist.

The phantom of the God of Mist let out a silent roar, and the dark erosion mist around it surged wildly, condensing into a huge dark erosion shield to resist the attack of the golden weapon.

The golden weapon struck the shield, bursting into dazzling sparks. The Dark Erosion Shield trembled violently, and countless cracks spread rapidly, but it never broke.

Immediately afterwards, the phantom of the God of Mist opened its mouth and spat out a huge dark purple beam of light.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the golden patterns in the golden realm rapidly melted away, shooting fiercely towards the Golden King.

The King of Gold's eyes narrowed, and the golden weapons on his back instantly coalesced into a massive golden shield, engraved with intricate defensive runes.

The dark purple beam of light struck the surface of the golden shield, unleashing a terrifying energy shockwave. Ripples spread across the surface of the golden shield, but it firmly blocked the attack.

At the same time, the King of Gold waved his right hand, and countless golden chains surged out from the void, coiling around the phantom of the God of Mist like swimming dragons, attempting to bind it.

[Golden Scythe Lock, seventh rank. It possesses the power of the golden lock's rules. As long as the golden lock touches the target even slightly, the chains behind it will tightly lock the target, and even the power of the rules will be suppressed.]

The battle between the two top-tier beings escalated instantly, and the battlefield shifted from outside the void to the more outer interstellar space.

The golden realm collided and eroded with the dark erosion mist, and countless planets shattered in the aftermath of the battle.

The enormous planet was turned into gold and hurled as a weapon. The star was corroded by the dark erosion energy into a lifeless black sphere. Space trembled constantly, and countless spatial rifts crisscrossed, forming a destructive forbidden zone.

The King of Gold, wielding a golden longsword, transformed into a golden streak of light and charged straight at the phantom of the God of Mist.

On the longsword, the power of the golden rules was condensed to the extreme, carrying the power to tear everything apart, and stabbed towards the core of the phantom.

The phantom of the God of Mist was not to be outdone. He conjured a huge Dark Erosion Battle Blade in his hand and clashed heavily with the golden longsword.

"clang--"

The sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the stars. The moment the golden longsword collided with the dark erosion battle blade, countless golden and dark purple energy shockwaves spread out, instantly shattering several surrounding planets into countless fragments that drifted in the void.

The golden rule and the dark erosion rule eroded each other, and the golden light on the golden longsword and the purple light on the dark erosion battle blade constantly intertwined, emitting a piercing friction sound.

As the battle reached a stalemate, the Golden King suddenly sent a wisp of his divine sense down to look at Lin Xiao.

He knew that he couldn't completely eliminate the threat of the Dark Erosion Order by simply entangled with the phantom of the God of Mist. He had to improve Lin Xiao's strength so that he could defeat Astros.

With a flick of his left hand, the King of Gold revealed a golden coin in his palm—the very same wishing coin that Lin Xiao often used.

"The power of cause and effect!"

With a soft shout, the Golden King caused the wishing coin in his palm to burst forth with dazzling golden light, and countless threads of cause and effect gathered from the void and wrapped around the coin.

Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, the gold coin transformed into a golden streak of light, rushing straight towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao felt the immense power within the golden light. He was initially taken aback, but then, without hesitation, he proactively opened his Eternal Domain to welcome the influx of causal power.

Golden light flowed into his body, countless threads of cause and effect wrapped around him, his Eternal Domain surged instantly, and the seven-colored halo became even more dazzling.

He could clearly feel that the energy in his body was surging at an alarming rate, and his control over the power of rules had reached a new level. The original fifth-order bottleneck shattered like paper, and his strength instantly soared to the sixth order!

"This is... the power of a sixth-tier being!"

Lin Xiao clenched his fists, feeling the surging energy within him and his profound understanding of the rules, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

The phantom images of items in the Eternal Realm became clearer, and the enhancement effect of the Universal Divine Art was increased several times. Items that could only be temporarily promoted to the fifth rank could now be directly promoted to the sixth rank.

Astros sensed the sudden surge of aura emanating from Lin Xiao, and a flash of surprise and anger appeared in the darkness behind the mask.

He hadn't expected that the King of Gold would be able to focus on improving the strength of others. Now, with three sixth-tier powerhouses on the field, the situation was extremely unfavorable for him.

But as the leader of the Dark Eclipse Cult, he had experienced countless battles and quickly regained his composure. The Dark Eclipse Domain contracted again, protecting him firmly.

"Next, it's time to deal with you!"

Lin Xiao's voice carried a chilling killing intent as he transformed into a streak of light, rushing straight towards Astros.

The Eternal Domain unfolded in full force, with countless ever-changing rings floating within it, radiating dazzling light. The light of the seven elements—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder—intertwined, forming a torrent of seven-colored energy.

Upon seeing this, Feng Yan and Yun Yin also sprang into action simultaneously once again.

With a flap of its wings, Feng Yan's golden divine fire surged once more. Under the pressure of its sixth-tier strength, its injuries healed rapidly, and its figure transformed into a golden streak of light, rushing towards Astros from the side.

The pure sea of ​​clouds that Yun Yin transformed into also expanded to its limit, with countless rays of purifying light pouring down, washing over Astros's Dark Erosion Domain like a waterfall, suppressing his Dark Erosion Rules.

Three sixth-tier powerhouses joined forces to form an attack network that covered the entire sky.

The large net then enveloped Astros.
