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

In the void, two figures were constantly colliding.

Each collision triggers violent fluctuations in the rules.

The ripples spread in all directions, and wherever they passed, countless stars trembled and shattered.

Lin Xiao's miniature universe was operating at full capacity, continuously providing power.

Those powers surged into his body, replenishing the energy lost from each of his attacks.

Although the attack from the Hidden Mist was powerful, its power was reduced by at least 30% under the suppression of the miniature universe.

With the support of the miniature universe, Lin Xiao's attack was at least twice as powerful.

With the balance of power shifting, the two ended up fighting to a standstill.

boom--!

Another collision.

Lin Xiao's body flew backward, tumbling dozens of times in the void before he could barely regain his footing.

He had several wounds on his body, which were healing quickly, but the residual rules of the Mist Concealment slowed down the healing process considerably.

The mist remained suspended in place, also making no pursuit.

For the first time, his expression turned serious.

Because he discovered that Lin Xiao was much more troublesome than he had imagined.

It's not about how strong they are, but about their resilience.

That kind of resilience that refuses to give up no matter what.

"Interesting," he said softly. "Really interesting."

Lin Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked at him, and smiled slightly.

"Don't you have anything else to say?" he said softly. "A ninth-tier envoy, and this is all the strength you have?"

Wuyin's brows furrowed slightly.

He knew Lin Xiao was trying to provoke him.

But he didn't fall for it.

He took a deep breath, and the gray power of rules slowly circulated around his body.

"Lin Xiao," he said slowly, "I admit, you are stronger than I imagined."

"But do you think this is all the power I have?"

Lin Xiao didn't speak, she just looked at him quietly.

"Isn't that right?"

Kirigakure didn't reply, but continued, "What I used just now was only thirty percent of my power."

"If I use my full strength, your miniature universe will definitely not last three breaths."

Lin Xiao's pupils contracted slightly.

Thirty percent?

Those earth-shattering attacks just now were only 30% of what they were?

Wuyin looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Scared?"

Lin Xiao shook her head, then smiled and said, "I don't believe it!"

Wuyin smiled as well.

The smile was radiant, yet it instilled a sense of dread in those who smiled.

"Don't believe me?" he said softly. "In that case, I'll show you."

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly surged.

The gray power of rules surged wildly around him, transforming into a massive pillar of light that shot into the sky.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the void collapsed and was assimilated.

The scope of assimilation instantly expanded to the entire battlefield.

Lin Xiao's miniature universe began to tremble violently.

He could feel his universe being suppressed in the opposite direction.

Those rules that were originally stable are now beginning to become disordered.

The previously smooth flow of energy began to stagnate.

Is this the true power of a ninth-tier being?

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, and the rules of the true self of all phenomena were operating at full power.

The miniature universes were also resisting with all their might, trying to break free from the oppressive force.

But it's too strong.

The suppressive force was so strong that he could barely move.

Wuyin looked at him, her mockery growing stronger.

"Do you see that?" he said softly. "That's the difference between the ninth rank and the eighth rank."

"Even if you have a miniature universe, in front of me you're nothing more than a slightly larger ant."

He raised his right hand, and gray power of rules condensed in his palm.

This time, he really used all his strength.

That gray light was more intense and terrifying than ever before.

Wherever the light passed, the void melted and was swallowed up.

Lin Xiao looked at the increasingly bright light, a resolute glint in her eyes.

He knew he couldn't withstand this attack.

But he had no way out.

He took a deep breath, preparing to ignite the core of the rules for a final, desperate gamble.

But at this very moment—

He suddenly sensed that his miniature universe had changed once again.

Those previously chaotic rules began to regain order.

The previously stagnant energy began to flow smoothly again.

Moreover, it is more active and more energetic than before.

A glint flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes.

He got it.

The miniature universe is adapting.

Adapt to the suppression of the mist, adapt to the power of the ninth rank.

It's as if it has awakened some kind of consciousness; it is learning, evolving, and becoming stronger.

Lin Xiao's lips curled up slightly.

He raised his right hand, and the seven-colored light condensed once more.

This time, the light was even more dazzling and intense than before.

Wuyin's brows furrowed slightly.

He sensed that Lin Xiao's aura was changing.

The previously weakened power of the rules is now rapidly recovering.

"How...how is this possible?"

Lin Xiao looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Your full strength is nothing more than this."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed forward with his right hand.

A beam of seven-colored light surged from his palm, colliding with the gray light of the mist.

boom--!

The entire void was collapsing.

This time, it's no longer a close contest.

Instead, they were evenly matched.

The two attacks shattered simultaneously, turning into countless points of light that dissipated.

Wuyin's expression changed.

He sensed that Lin Xiao was getting stronger in the battle.

Moreover, the speed at which it becomes stronger is astonishing.

If the fight continues, he may not be able to win, but it will also be difficult for me to capture him again.

More importantly, he sensed that the God of Mist was calling him.

His awakening has reached its most crucial moment.

He needs to go back and protect them.

Although the God of Mist has seven ninth-tier warriors by his side, they are not very reliable.

Wuyin took a deep breath, suppressing the resentment in her heart.

He looked at Lin Xiao, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

"Lin Xiao," he said slowly, "that's enough for today."

"Next time we meet, I'll win you over myself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure began to fade and disappear.

Lin Xiao looked at him but did not pursue him.

Because he knew that pursuing them would be pointless.

He couldn't stop the Ninth Rank from escaping.

The figure of the mist-hidden figure grew fainter and fainter until it finally disappeared completely into the void.

Only one sentence remains, echoing in the void.

"Lin Xiao, cherish this time."

"The day Your Majesty awakens will be the day of your death."

Lin Xiao hovered in place, watching the disappearing figure, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

A ninth-tier envoy is indeed very strong.

If it weren't for the miniature universe evolving during the battle, he would surely be dead today.

But now, he has survived.

He gazed into the distant void, where the barrier of the misty world still slowly shifted.

He knew that the real battle was not yet over.

Or rather, it's only just begun.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, turned around, and flew towards the Eternal Alliance.

Behind them, the void affected by the battle was slowly healing.
