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

But in the next moment, Lin Xiao's omniscient rules detected an anomaly once again.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, suppressing his surging blood and qi, and activated the Omniscient Rule at full power, seizing that fleeting gap.

Shen Kong looked at him, his brows furrowing slightly.

He sensed that Lin Xiao's gaze had changed.

All the previous weariness and despair vanished at that moment.

Instead, there was an indescribable calm.

That calmness made him feel uneasy.

"Playing tricks." Deep Space snorted coldly and pointed forward with his right hand.

Countless blades of void condensed once more, slashing towards Lin Xiao.

The Fiery Demon's incinerating flames and the Wind Fiend's void storm followed closely behind.

Three attacks slammed into Lin Xiao once again.

Lin Xiao watched the three attacks getting closer and closer, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This is the opportunity he's been waiting for.

He swayed and rushed towards the gap between the three attacks.

That place was the intersection of three attacks, and also the most dangerous spot.

But it is also the only chance of survival.

Lin Xiao's figure twisted strangely in the void and passed through the gap.

The three attacks collided behind him, exploding into a massive storm of rules.

Lin Xiao had already rushed to the front of the Flame Demon.

The Flame Demon's pupils suddenly contracted.

He hadn't expected that Lin Xiao would be able to get through such an attack.

He wanted to back away, but it was too late.

Lin Xiao raised his right hand, and seven-colored light condensed into a short sword in his palm.

The short sword thrust out, aiming straight for the heart of the Flame Demon.

That place was the core of his consuming fire, and also the weakest point in his defenses.

The Flame Demon frantically manipulated the rules of fire, condensing them into a fire shield in front of him.

But it was too late.

The short sword pierced through the fire shield and into his heart.

The Flame Demon's body froze.

He looked down at the short sword in his chest, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

"you……"

Before he could finish speaking, the core of the rules within his body suddenly shattered.

The flames of incineration erupted from his body, burning him to ashes.

The Flame Demon has fallen.

Deep Space's expression changed.

"Flame Demon!"

He roared, and the Void Divine Kingdom unleashed its full power, sending countless Void Blades slashing towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao retreated, but the void blades were too fast, too fast for him to completely dodge.

Three blades of void slashed at his body, leaving three deep, bone-revealing wounds on his chest.

Lin Xiao let out a muffled groan and flew backward.

But he is still alive.

Still standing.

Feng Sha stared at the corpse of the Flame Demon, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and witnessed the fall of countless powerful figures, but he had never seen such a bizarre battle.

How could a seventh-tier fighter, surrounded by an eighth-tier fighter and two seventh-tier fighters, actually manage to kill one of the seventh-tier fighters?

How is that possible?

Deep Space's face turned ashen.

The death of the Balrog was a great loss to him.

Not only because the Flame Demon was his capable assistant, but also because it meant that Lin Xiao was in far greater danger than he had imagined.

"Lin Xiao!" Shen Kong said through gritted teeth, "You're asking for death!"

He raised his right hand, and the power of the Void God Kingdom frantically condensed.

This time, he's going to go all out.

No survivors.

Lin Xiao looked at him and took a deep breath.

He could sense that Deep Space was truly enraged this time.

His next strike will be a full-force attack.

Given his current broken state, he wasn't sure if he could handle it.

But he had no way out.

He gritted his teeth, seven-colored light flowing around his body, preparing to receive this final blow.

Deep Space's right hand suddenly pushed forward.

A massive spear of void materialized in the void and shot towards Lin Xiao.

The spear of the void was ten thousand feet long, pitch black, and exuded a suffocating pressure.

Wherever the spear tip passed, the void collapsed and was swallowed up.

As Lin Xiao watched the approaching Void Spear, the Omniscient Rule activated at full power.

He was calculating.

Calculate the trajectory, calculate the power, calculate all possible responses.

But soon, he discovered—

In his current state, he simply cannot withstand this attack.

If he takes the hit head-on, he will surely die.

But he did not dodge.

Because hiding won't help.

The Void Spear was too fast for him to dodge.

Moreover, he has already been locked onto by the consciousness of deep space.

We have no choice but to take it!

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, and seven-colored light frantically gathered in front of him.

One hundred layers of barriers, two hundred layers of barriers, three hundred layers of barriers—

He exerted all his strength, gathering every defense he could muster.

The Void Spear collided with the first barrier.

boom--!

The barrier shattered instantly.

The second layer is broken.

The third layer, shattered.

Fourth floor, fifth floor, sixth floor—

Layer upon layer of barriers shattered before the Void Spear, but each shattering layer drained the Void Spear's power.

The hundredth floor shattered.

The 200th floor, shattered.

The 300th floor shattered.

When the final barrier shattered, the power of the Void Spear hardly dissipated.

Lin Xiao raised his hands, preparing to take the blow head-on with his bare body.

At that very moment—

A sigh echoed from the void.

The sigh was deep and steady, like the echo of the earth.

A beam of earthy yellow light shot out from afar, blocking Lin Xiao just before the Void Spear struck him.

boom--!

The Void Spear collided with the earthen-yellow light, exploding into a massive storm of rules.

The light dissipated.

A figure appeared in front of Lin Xiao.

It was a middle-aged man, with a burly physique, a resolute face, and an earthy yellow aura of power surrounding him.

Rock Mountain.

Lin Xiao's pupils contracted slightly.

"Senior Iwayama?"

Yanshan turned around, looked at him, and smiled slightly.

"Good job, kid."

His voice remained deep and resonant, yet carried a hint of relief.

"To be able to turn the tables and kill a seventh-tier opponent while being surrounded by three people, you have truly impressed me even more."

Lin Xiao took a deep breath to suppress the shock in her heart.

"Senior, what brings you here?"

Yanshan turned around and looked at the distant deep sky and the wind.

"I've been following you all along," he said softly. "I've been following you ever since the moment you left the ruins of the Earth Soul Domain."

"When that eighth-tier behemoth appeared, I intended to make a move."

"But since you escaped, I haven't shown myself."

"When those bastards from the Dark Eclipse Cult showed up, I was thinking of taking action myself."

"But I'm more interested in seeing just how far you can go."

He paused, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"You did a great job."

"It's much better than I expected."

Shen Kong looked at Yan Shan, his expression turning extremely grim.

He could sense that this person who suddenly appeared was also at the eighth level.

Moreover, his aura was deep and steady, clearly not that of an ordinary eighth-rank cultivator.

"Who are you?" Deep Space asked in a deep voice, "How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Dark Corruption Order?"

Yanshan looked at him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"The Dark Erosion Cult?"

He said softly, with a hint of mockery in his voice.

"More than a million years ago, it was you dogs who destroyed my homeland, killed my father, and slaughtered my people."

"Tell me, do you think I dare to interfere?"

Deep Space's pupils contracted slightly.

More than a million years ago?

Did they destroy his home?

He killed his father?

Did they slaughter his entire clan?

A thought immediately flashed through his mind.

"You are... a remnant of the Earth Soul Domain?"

Iwayama nodded: "That's right."

"Eighth-tier creature of the Earth Soul Domain, Rock Mountain."

"The only survivor of that war of resistance."

Deep Space's expression grew even uglier.

Earth Soul Domain...

That was the core force that rebelled against His Majesty back then.

Although it has been completely destroyed, those remnants have always been a major threat to the Dark Erosion Cult.

Unexpectedly, there were still eighth-tier survivors.

Moreover, he showed up here today as well.

Yanshan looked at him, a cold glint in his eyes.

"Lin Xiao," he said softly, "you go first."

"Leave this to me."

Lin Xiao was slightly taken aback: "Senior..."

Iwayama waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense."

"You're too badly injured right now; staying here will only be a burden to me."

"Return to the Misty World, go back to your Eternal Alliance, gather the Five Elements, and let the Divine Kingdom evolve into a miniature universe."

"That's what you should be doing."

Lin Xiao fell silent.

He knew that Yanshan was right.

Given his current injured state, staying here wouldn't be of much help.

Instead, it would become a burden on the rocky mountain.

He took a deep breath, looked at Yanshan, and nodded solemnly.

"Thank you, senior."

Iwayama smiled slightly: "Go."

"I hope that when we meet again, you will have grown strong enough to stand up to the God of Mist."

Lin Xiao didn't say anything more.

He turned around and flew towards the misty world.

Shen Kong watched his departing figure, his face ashen.

"Trying to leave?" he sneered, raising his right hand and the Void Blade condensing once more.

But Yanshan's figure had already blocked his way.

"Your opponent is me," Yan Shan said softly, as the earthen-yellow power of rules surged around him.

Deep Space gritted its teeth and slashed at the rocky mountain with the Void Blade.

Yanshan raised his right hand and threw a punch.

Fist clashed with Void Blade.

boom--!

The entire void trembled violently.

Deep Space's figure trembled slightly, and it took three steps back.

The rocky mountain remained completely still.

Deep Space's expression changed.

This rocky mountain was much stronger than he had imagined.

In the distance, Lin Xiao's figure was getting farther and farther away, becoming increasingly blurry.

Soon, it disappeared into the mist barrier.
