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

Beyond the void, the collisions at the level of rules have already surpassed the limits of what mortals can comprehend.

The skeletal figure of Kel'Thuzad floated in the chaos, his tattered black royal robes fluttering in the invisible energy flow.

Within his eye sockets, a ghostly green flame flickered, each breath drawing upon the surrounding rules of annihilation.

He did not rush to launch another fierce attack, but slowly raised his skeletal right hand. In the void, countless gray-black threads gathered, which were formed by the pure rules of annihilation.

Wherever it passed, even space itself lost its vitality, turning into a lifeless void.

"The rules of life, in this misty world, ultimately go against the tide."

Kelsu's dry voice pierced the soul: "The life of the Wood Soul Domain will be ended by my own hands today."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly clenched his right hand, and the gray-black threads of annihilation instantly intertwined into a bone blade ten thousand feet long.

The bone blade had no superfluous patterns, only a pure sense of annihilation, as if it could sever the very foundation of everything that existed in the world.

This strike is no longer a single-point Annihilation Finger, but a comprehensive rule-based slash—"Annihilation·Boundary Severance".

The bone blade slowly slashed down, its descent seemingly slow, but in reality, it blocked all paths of evasion.

The void along the way was no longer shattered, but directly returned to nothingness, and even the flow of time seemed to become stagnant.

The emerald green light wall that the Celestial Venerable had transformed into was instantly stained with a layer of grayish color, and the phantoms of living beings on the light wall let out silent wails as they dissipated in large swaths.

The Heavenly Venerable of the Wood Soul Domain's expression became extremely solemn. His body radiated a burst of light, and the ancient tree phantom behind him swayed wildly. Countless emerald light spots rose from every inch of the Wood Soul Domain and flowed into his body.

That was the life essence accumulated by the Wood Soul Domain over hundreds of millions of years, and it was also the foundation of his status as a seventh-order being.

"All Spirits Coexist, Boundary Guardians!"

The Celestial Venerable formed hand seals, and the emerald green light wall instantly expanded, transforming into a boundless forest of phantoms. Each tree contained tenacious life rules, attempting to resist the erosion of the Annihilation Bone Blade.

However, the rule of annihilation is the nemesis of life. Where the bone blade cut, the illusory forest withered rapidly as if burned by wildfire. The gray-black power of annihilation spread rapidly along the roots of the trees, eroding towards the Celestial Venerable's true form.

"snort--"

The Celestial Venerable groaned, a trickle of golden blood spilling from the corner of his mouth—a sign of damage to his life essence.

His figure staggered back two steps, the ancient tree shadow behind him dimmed considerably, and the glow around him flickered.

Kel'Thuzad's rules of annihilation were too domineering. Every collision consumed his essence, while the power of annihilation from the ruins seemed inexhaustible, constantly surging from the depths of chaos to replenish Kel'Thuzad's consumption.

"It seems he has refined this entire ruin into his domain! What an amazing feat!"

"Your Excellency, Heavenly Venerable!"

The city lord of Wood Soul City cried out in alarm below, wanting to rush forward to provide support, but he was suppressed by the aftershocks of the seventh-tier battle and could not even get close.

All the creatures on the city wall wore expressions of despair. The gap between the two seventh-tier beings was so vast that the Celestial Venerable was clearly at a disadvantage. If this continued, not only would the Celestial Venerable perish, but the entire Wood Soul Domain would probably cease to exist.

In the void, Kel'Thuzad's ghostly green soulfire flickered with an indifferent light as he pressed forward step by step, his skeletal right hand once again gathering the power of annihilation.

This time, his target was the Celestial Venerable's true form, clearly intending to settle the score with a single blow.

Above Wood Soul City, Lin Xiao, protected by the city lord, hovered within the city's protective array.

The sixth-order healing crystal was hovering in front of his chest, radiating a gentle yet powerful life energy that nourished his damaged body and trembling soul like sweet rain.

The spontaneous operation of the "All Things Return to the Flow" rule accelerates the absorption and transformation of this external healing energy.

"No, it's still too slow!"

The healing speed of a single healing crystal is not particularly fast.

Without much hesitation, Lin Xiao quickly projected thirty more healing crystals.

A total of thirty-one healing crystals were frantically healing Lin Xiao's injuries.

In just a few minutes, Lin Xiao's injuries had almost completely healed.

While treating the patients, Lin Xiao's gaze pierced through the great formation, fixed on the decisive seventh-tier battle outside the void.

Even from such a vast distance, the omniscient rules can still vaguely capture the trajectory of the collision between the two rules and the grand spectacle of energy flow.

"The Celestial Venerable... is at a disadvantage."

Lin Xiao felt extremely heavy-hearted. He could clearly see that although the Heavenly Venerable's life rule was vast and mighty, it appeared somewhat passive and cumbersome in the face of the Netherworld's highly targeted annihilation rule.

Each of Minghai's attacks was like a precise scalpel, cutting through the Celestial Venerable's power system.

"This can't go on."

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, feeling his injuries rapidly healing under the influence of the healing crystal and his own internal rules.

His physical injuries were quickly healed to about 70-80%. More importantly, the experience of withstanding the aftershock of that seventh-order rule, though dangerous, had given his Myriad Phenomena Returning to Flow rule a subtle sense of and adaptation to higher-level power.

For example, Lin Xiao can now make preliminary use of the power of the rules of annihilation, although it is very weak, as weak as a tap that is not turned off completely.

Just as the Celestial Venerable was once again forced to retreat by the Annihilation Rule of the Netherworld, and the radiance around him dimmed slightly, a glint flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes.

"City Lord, maintain the great formation. I'm going to lend the Heavenly Venerable a hand!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao's figure transformed into a streak of seven-colored light, instantly rushing out of the protective formation of Wood Soul City and heading straight for the seventh-tier battlefield.

"Brother Lin Xiao!"

The city lord of Wood Soul City cried out in alarm, but it was too late to stop it. He could only activate the great formation with all his might to protect the lives of Wood Soul City as much as possible.

At the same time, he also knew Lin Xiao well; he was definitely not a reckless person.

In the chaos of the void, a seven-colored stream of light rushed from the direction of Wood Soul City, instantly passing through the blockade of the seventh-order aftershocks, and stopped beside the Celestial Venerable.

It was Lin Xiao, who had already recovered most of his injuries.

Lin Xiao was surrounded by a faint seven-colored aura of rules, and the Myriad Phenomena Return to Flow rule was operating at full capacity. The injuries he had just suffered from the aftershocks of Annihilation had been restored by 70% thanks to the nourishment of the healing crystal and the self-repair of the Myriad Phenomena Return to Flow rule.

Although his face was still somewhat pale, his eyes were unusually bright, as the omniscient rules had already analyzed every detail of the battle.

"My Lord, I'm here to help you!"

Lin Xiao's voice clearly reached the Heavenly Venerable's ears, and at the same time, a mental fluctuation containing the results of omniscient analysis was also transmitted to him:

"Kelthus's rule of annihilation is based on nothingness. Every attack he makes leaves an annihilation mark on the target, which continuously erodes the source of life."

"His weakness lies in the 0.001-second rule vacuum period after his attack, and the operation of the power of annihilation relies on energy nodes deep within chaos, which can be temporarily sealed by spatial rules!"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Celestial Venerable.

As a seventh-tier expert, he could naturally discern the accuracy of Lin Xiao's information, but he had been suppressed by Kelsu's offensive and failed to notice these subtle flaws.

Reminded by Lin Xiao, he immediately adjusted his strategy. The life rules around him no longer focused solely on defense, but instead began to contract and concentrate on the vital points.

When Kelsu saw Lin Xiao appear, his ghostly green soul fire fluctuated slightly. He was clearly surprised that this sixth-tier junior could recover in such a short time and dare to participate in the seventh-tier battle, but it was just a surprise.

In his eyes, there was an insurmountable gap between the sixth and seventh tiers, and even if Lin Xiao's rules were bizarre, he was nothing more than an ant.

"What a reckless fool! May he perish along with us!"

Kelsu snorted coldly, and the condensing power of annihilation suddenly accelerated, shooting a more refined gray-black beam of light towards Lin Xiao and the Heavenly Venerable.

This attack locked onto both of them simultaneously, and the power of annihilation was also mixed with the rules of spatial confinement, preventing them from dodging.

"Now!"

Lin Xiao let out a low shout, and the rule of all things returning to their source erupted with full force. The rule of omniscience locked onto the energy trajectory and annihilation node of the beam of light, and the rule of manifesting all things instantly began to operate. Countless silver spatial runes condensed in front of him, forming a dense spatial network.

"Spatial Anchoring & Node Blockade!"

At the same time, a large number of wishing coins were projected by Lin Xiao, and the rules of cause and effect continuously wrapped around the spatial anchor point and the rules of annihilation.

Under the blessing of the causal rules, these spatial runes accurately landed on the annihilation energy nodes along the path of the beam, causing a brief stagnation in the operation of the annihilation power, but this stagnation lasted for less than a frame.

But even with this change of less than a frame, the seventh-rank Celestial Venerable seized the opportunity.

The Celestial Venerable seized this hard-won opportunity and frantically activated his life rules. The radiant light around him surged to its peak, and the illusory image of the ancient tree behind him solidified once again.

Countless life energies flowed into his body through the channels created by Lin Xiao, and his previously damaged essence was rapidly recovering.

"All Spirits Strikes Back: Dawn Breaks!"

The Celestial Venerable thrust both hands forward, and a beam of emerald green light, imbued with the life force of the Wood Soul Domain, shot toward Kelsu. Within the beam, countless phantoms of living beings cried out, embodying an indomitable will.

Unlike the previous defense, this was an attack full of counterattack intent, and the rules of life showed unprecedented resilience at this moment.

Kelsu's expression changed slightly, clearly not expecting Lin Xiao's assistance to enable the Celestial Venerable to launch a counterattack in an instant.

He hurriedly mobilized the power of annihilation to condense a defense, but the previous attack was interfered with by Lin Xiao, and the operation of the rules was briefly interrupted, so the defense could not be fully formed.

"Pfft—"

The emerald green beam of light slammed into Kelsu's Annihilation Defense, instantly cracking the barrier. Life force surged into the cracks, causing Kelsu's skeletal body to tremble slightly, and the ghostly green soul fire in his eye sockets dimmed for a moment.

Although no fatal damage was caused, this was the first time since the start of the battle that the Celestial Venerable had gained the upper hand, and the balance of the battle began to tilt subtly.

Lin Xiao stared blankly at his hands. He hadn't expected that he could interfere with the actions of a seventh-level cultivator with his sixth-level strength, even if only for a moment.

It's important to know that the difference between the sixth and seventh tiers is even greater than the difference between the first and sixth tiers.

"Damn ants!"

Kelsu roared, and his skeletal right hand once again gathered even stronger power of annihilation. This time, he focused some of his attention on Lin Xiao, clearly wanting to deal with this troublesome guy first.

Lin Xiao had anticipated this, and the Omniscient Rule had already analyzed Kelsu's attack target.

He flashed forward, unleashing his Instant Step to its fullest extent, simultaneously manifesting countless shadow clones. These clones were identical to him, even mimicking the fluctuations of the rules perfectly, instantly diverting Kelsu's attention.

"A trivial skill!"

Kel'Thuzad snorted coldly, and the power of annihilation swept across instantly, annihilating countless shadow clones in an instant, but this brief delay was enough.

Seizing the opportunity, the Celestial Venerable launched another attack, transforming the rules of life into countless vines that coiled around Kelsu, attempting to restrict his movements.

These vines contain purification rules, which are the power of the rules bestowed upon the Rainbow Cloud Clan chief by Lin Xiao through the fusion of the rules of all things. They have a significant impact on Kelsu's power of annihilation.

"Let go of me!"

Kel'Thuzad roared, his annihilating power surging as he tried to break free from the vines' restraints.

However, these vines were formed by the fusion of the Celestial Venerable's life rules and Lin Xiao's purification rules, making them extremely resilient, and for a time they were unable to break free.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Celestial Venerable stepped forward and placed his hands on Kelsu's skeletal body, continuously channeling life rules into him in an attempt to completely purify the annihilation source within him.

The emerald green life force and the gray-black annihilation force collided wildly within Kelsu's body. His skeletal body trembled incessantly, and the eerie green soul fire in his eye sockets flickered, clearly indicating that he was enduring immense pain.

Lin Xiao did not stop either. The Omniscient Rule continued to lock onto the Annihilation Node within Kelsu's body, constantly manifesting various targeted rule items.

Some are used to block the flow of energy, some to erode and destroy the source, and some to strengthen the life force of the Celestial Venerable, forming a complete auxiliary closed loop.

Although Lin Xiao's various attacks could only cause a slight disturbance, it was enough for the Celestial Venerable.

The tide of battle turned dramatically at that moment.

The Celestial Venerable, who was initially at a disadvantage, finally stabilized his position and began to launch a counterattack with Lin Xiao's extremely precise assistance.

Lin Xiao's Myriad Phenomena Returning to Flow rule is like a precise scalpel, constantly cutting away Kelsu's advantages and compensating for the Celestial Venerable's disadvantages, allowing the Celestial Venerable's life rule to exert its greatest power.

At this moment, Lin Xiao has achieved the most perfect support.

Kelsu's expression grew increasingly grim (though he was just a skeleton, his fury was palpable). He hadn't expected that a sixth-tier junior's support could play such a crucial role.

Although Lin Xiao's attacks could not cause fatal damage to him, each one precisely targeted his weaknesses and the vacuum of rules, preventing him from launching attacks smoothly. Instead, the Celestial Venerable seized the opportunity to press him step by step.

"Stop playing dead, swallow that thing right now!"

Kelsul suddenly roared angrily downwards.

Meanwhile, the shadowy giant and the dragon-devouring serpent, who had been overlooked by everyone, pulled out something under the Heavenly Venerable's roar.
