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

Lin Xiao closed his eyes, and the omniscient rules began to be deduced with all their might.

The first step is to lure away the scattered skeletons within a three-kilometer radius of the formation, clearing obstacles for subsequent actions.

Although these skeletons will not attack the formation on their own, their presence will interfere with his route planning.

They must be driven away without alerting anyone.

The second step is to activate the perception of those two incomplete seventh-tier beings.

We can't attack directly, as that would reveal our position.

There must be a way to make them sense the presence of the four lurking beings from the misty world, five kilometers away.

The third step was to sneak into the formation and take the crystal while the two incomplete seventh-tier and seventeen sixth-tier skeletons were attracted by the aura of the living and engaged in a fierce battle with the four lurkers.

But this step has a fatal problem—

The formation is still in operation.

He must break through the three layers of the death array, retrieve the crystal, and escape unscathed in the short time it takes for the skeletons and lurkers to fight.

The time window may be only a few dozen breaths, or even shorter.

Even when surrounded by skeletons, the four infiltrators could still spare a bit of attention to the formation at any time.

If they discover someone taking advantage of the chaos to steal the crystal, they will stop them even at the risk of serious injury.

Lin Xiao input all the variables into the simulation model: the energy consumption rate of the formation, the movement speed of the two incomplete seventh-tier skeletons, the distribution of the seventeen sixth-tier skeletons, the extent of injury and possible reaction time of the four infiltrators, and the shortest time limit he himself needed to infiltrate the formation and break through the three layers of restrictions...

Thirteen thousand solutions were generated, filtered, and eliminated.

Finally, only one path remained.

Success rate: 31%.

Lin Xiao opened her eyes.

A success rate of 31% sounds low.

But this is Fallen God Island, a forbidden land of death that even seventh-rank cultivators dare not easily venture into.

Having a 30% certainty is already the result of the combined effect of omniscience, the convergence of all phenomena, and all the observations accumulated over the past ten days.

enough.

He has come this far from zero, and every time he did it, he was on the verge of death.

Lin Xiao stood up, a flash of seven-colored light disappearing from his eyes.

He moved.

Lin Xiao moved through the fog of death like a ghost.

The first target was the scattered skeletons wandering around the formation.

The omniscient rules have already determined their locations and patrol routes.

Lin Xiao didn't kill them, as doing so would alert them.

He simply used the Myriad Flows rule to simulate the aura of high-level undead, slowly driving and guiding these skeletons away from the array area.

An hour later, all six sixth-tier skeletons within a three-kilometer radius of the formation were lured away.

The second step is to activate the incomplete seventh-order.

Lin Xiao chose the one facing southeast.

It was a humanoid skeleton, over six meters tall, wielding a broken halberd.

Its spine was also injured, its left arm bones were covered with fine cracks, and the soul fire in its eye sockets was much dimmer than that of a normal seventh-tier.

But it is still a seventh-order item.

Lin Xiao stopped two kilometers away from the skull.

He took out an aura sample collected from near the Lurkers in the Misty World.

That was a trace of living energy that the seventh-level expert had inadvertently leaked while healing. It was extremely weak, but enough to attract the other party's attention.

The rules of the myriad phenomena returning to their source operate, enveloping, compressing, and amplifying this wisp of energy.

Then, Lin Xiao shot it into the perception range of the incomplete seventh-tier skeleton.

In that instant, the skeleton's soul fire suddenly blazed.

The presence of living people.

In this forbidden land of death, the presence of the living is like a flame in the darkness, the object most desired and hated by the dead.

The skeleton stood up, its broken halberd dragging a deep trench in the ground, and strode towards the direction from which the aura originated.

That's the direction the lurkers of the misty world are heading.

Lin Xiao did not linger.

He turned northwest and did the same thing.

The second incomplete seventh-order was activated.

Then there are the sixth-tier skeletons.

Lin Xiao no longer chased them away, but instead used the same method to cast faint traces of human presence towards them.

These auras were too weak for the skeletons to pinpoint precisely, but enough to agitate them and cause them to gather in that direction.

Thirty kilometers is not a long distance for beings of the sixth or seventh rank.

Fifteen minutes later, anomalies began to appear at the location of the lurking in the misty world.

The seventh-tier expert was the first to notice.

"No!" He jumped to his feet, his grey robe stained with blood. "Skeletons are approaching, lots of skeletons!"

Three sixth-rank officers were on alert simultaneously.

But it was too late for them.

In the southeast direction, the first incomplete seventh-tier skeleton appeared.

Its broken halberd was raised high, and the soul fire in its eye sockets burned with a frenzied light, locking onto the four living people.

Next, to the northwest, is a second incomplete seventh-tier creature.

Then, seventeen sixth-tier skeletons surrounded them from all directions.

"Damn it! How did they find us?!" the sixth-ranked man with the missing arm roared, his only remaining left hand holding a sword, ready for battle.

"No time to dwell on this, prepare for battle!"

The seventh-tier expert gritted his teeth, his body surging with the power of rules. His injuries had not yet healed, but he couldn't care less about that now.

Four living people, two incomplete seventh-tier monsters, and seventeen sixth-tier skeletons.

A great war broke out.

Lin Xiao lay in ambush behind a boulder three kilometers away, using the Omniscient Rule to monitor the entire battlefield.

The strength of a seventh-tier expert is indeed formidable. Even with injuries, he can still directly confront a crippled seventh-tier skeleton. His rule is the corrosive power characteristic of the Dark Eclipse Order, and each attack carries the dual characteristics of decay and devouring, clashing fiercely with the skeleton's death rule.

Three sixth-tier skeletons formed a battle formation, coordinating perfectly, and forced the sixth-tier skeleton with the missing arm to retreat repeatedly.

The other two sixth-tier opponents stood back-to-back, struggling to withstand the attacks from all sides.

But what caught Lin Xiao's attention the most were the two incomplete seventh-tier skeletons.

Although they are not as strong as a normal seventh-tier fighter, their fighting instincts are still terrifying. In particular, their fanatical obsession with living people makes them completely disregard injuries, and every attack is a suicidal tactic.

The seventh-tier expert was quickly caught in a pincer attack by the two skeletons and was struggling to defend himself.

"Hold on!" he roared, his body surging with gray light as he forcefully repelled a skeleton. "The formation over there..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Because at that very moment, Lin Xiao made a move.

The rule of "All Things Return to Flow" was operating at full capacity, and the seven-colored shield was adjusted to a frequency that was completely consistent with the fluctuations of the outer layer of the formation.

Lin Xiao drifted towards the edge of the formation like a ghost.

The weak point of the formation detected by the omniscient rules is right here and now.

The outer layer is corroded by death energy.

The moment Lin Xiao stepped in, countless deathly auras surged forth like sharks smelling blood. However, the seven-colored shield had already simulated the exact same frequency as the outer layer of deathly auras, and those auras swirled on the shield's surface for a moment before slowly dissipating.

Three breaths, through the outer layer.

Middle layer, rule stripping.

This is the most dangerous floor.

Lin Xiao sensed that his own rules and structure were being analyzed and stripped away by some invisible force.

The rule of "All Things Return to the Flow" operates frantically, adjusting the frequency of every rule fragment within its body, attempting to synchronize with the analytical rules of the middle layer.

But this time, it wasn't so easy.

The rules of the middle layer are not about death, but about pure analysis itself.

Any rule that enters this layer will be forcibly parsed, stripped, and absorbed.

Lin Xiao's seven-colored shield began to tremble, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.

The Omniscient Rule issued a warning: at this rate, he could only sustain this for a maximum of ten breaths.

Ten breaths.

enough.

Lin Xiao gritted her teeth and kept walking.

In five breaths, he had traversed two-thirds of the middle level.

The cracks in the shield widened, and some fragments of the rules began to peel away from its body.

Seven breaths later, there are still thirty meters to go to the inner layer.

The shield was on the verge of collapse, and fine cracks began to appear on the skin of his right arm, a sign that his physical body was about to disintegrate due to the stripping away of the rules.

Nine breaths.

Lin Xiao stepped into the inner layer.

The shield shattered completely behind him.

But the inner layer is the real dead end.

Soulfire detonates.

Lin Xiao's soul resonated instantly with that crystal.

It was an indescribable feeling, as if his consciousness had been forcibly dragged into a huge vortex, with the deep purple crystal at its center.

With each resonance, a part of his soul would be torn apart and then swallowed by the vortex.

Three breaths.

In a maximum of three breaths, his soul will completely explode.

But this was the moment Lin Xiao had been waiting for.

He raised his right hand.

A fist-sized, seven-colored crystal appeared in his palm.

That was the source crystal of rules he condensed through the evolution of rules in the Valley of Oblivion. It was the manifestation of his own rules and the core of his existence.

The most powerful application of the "All Things Return to Flow" rule is rule replacement.

Lin Xiao pushed the rule source crystal forward.

At the moment the source crystal collides with the crystal, the target of the resonance shifts.

The crystal that originally resonated with Lin Xiao's soul began to resonate with the source crystal of rules.

The rule source crystal contains Lin Xiao's rule structure, fragments of the convergence of all things, and a part of his will.

But the Source Crystal is not a soul, so it cannot be detonated.

It will shatter.

The moment it shatters, it will release all the rule energy that Lin Xiao had stored in advance.

That energy is exactly opposite to the frequency of the crystal.

It's like the collision of positive and negative poles.

The crystal's rotation suddenly stopped, and the entire array's operation also paused for a mere 0.1 seconds.

enough.

Lin Xiao reached out and grasped the crystal.

In that instant, he felt it.

An endless stream of power of rules surged into his body as if the heavens and earth had been created.

That was the opportunity to advance from the sixth rank to the seventh rank, a breakthrough that countless powerful individuals dreamed of.

But Lin Xiao didn't have time to reflect on it.

He put away the crystal, turned around, and rushed out of the formation.

Behind them, the battle on the battlefield continued.

The four people from the Misty World were completely surrounded by skeletons, and the two crippled seventh-tier beings were frantically tearing at their defenses.

The remains of seventeen Tier 6 skeletons were scattered on the ground, but at least ten were still fighting.

No one noticed the formation.

No one noticed that the crystal had disappeared.

Lin Xiao vanished into the fog of death like a ghost.

Three breaths later, the formation returned to normal operation.

But the crystal is no longer there.

The formation lost its energy core and began to slowly disintegrate.

The shockwaves from the collapse finally caught the attention of the seventh-tier powerhouses on the battlefield.

He turned around and looked in the direction of the formation.

The pupils suddenly contracted.

The crystal... has disappeared?

How is that possible?!

who is it? !

Before he could think further, a broken halberd of the seventh rank was already cleaving towards him.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight back.

At this moment, Lin Xiao had already appeared two hundred kilometers away.

He found a secluded crevice in the rock, concealed his breathing, and sat down cross-legged.

In the palm of his hand, the deep purple crystal was radiating a warm, regular energy.

The opportunity to advance to the seventh rank has finally arrived.

Lin Xiao closed his eyes and began preparing to break through.
