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

In the void, Lin Xiao's lightsaber slashed down.

A thousand-foot sword light pierced the darkness and crashed down towards the barrier of the Dark Corruption Order's headquarters.

With the support of three eighth-tier divine kingdoms and fourteen seventh-tier divine kingdoms, the barrier was so thick that it seemed capable of withstanding any attack. The surface was covered with densely packed runes, each containing earth-shattering power.

But Lin Xiao's sword is even stronger.

The moment the sword clashed with the barrier, the entire void trembled violently.

The runes flickered wildly, trying to resist the sword light, but under the crushing force of the five elements, they shattered one after another, like broken glass, turning into countless tiny specks of light and dissipating.

A crack appeared in the barrier.

The crack spread outwards from the point where the sword struck, covering the entire surface of the barrier in the blink of an eye.

Enma's expression changed.

"This... how is this possible?" His voice was filled with disbelief.

This barrier, formed by the combined power of all of them, would have been strong enough to hold for several days even against an eighth-tier opponent of the same level. Yet, it couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from Lin Xiao?

Both the Void and the Other Shore had equally grim expressions.

They desperately activated their respective divine kingdoms, attempting to repair the crack, but the speed of repair was far slower than the speed of shattering.

Lin Xiao hovered outside the barrier, his expression calm as still water.

He looked at the cracked barrier, his eyes showing no smugness, no mockery, only a faint indifference.

"Is that all?"

He raised his right hand and gently pushed forward.

The miniature universe suddenly expanded, and the force of that expansion was like an invisible giant hand, slamming hard against the already crumbling barrier.

boom--!

The barrier shattered completely.

Countless fragments flew through the void, like a grand fireworks display.

The fragments gradually dimmed as they scattered, eventually turning into nothingness.

The three eighth-tier divine kingdoms trembled violently at the same time. Yama, Void, and the Other Shore all shuddered, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of their mouths.

The fourteen vice leaders fared even worse. Their seventh-order divine kingdoms developed countless cracks under the pressure of the miniature universe, and several of their divine kingdoms shattered on the spot, their auras instantly weakening to the extreme.

Lin Xiao did not press her advantage.

He simply hovered in place, quietly watching them.

The miniature universe behind him slowly rotated, the power of the five elements was constantly generated, and it exuded a suffocating pressure.

Enma wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, raised her head, and looked at Lin Xiao.

A complex light flashed in his eyes—there was anger, there was resentment, but more than anything, there was a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Why...why don't you attack?" His voice was hoarse and low.

Lin Xiao did not answer.

He merely tilted his head slightly, his gaze passing over Yama and venturing deeper into the headquarters of the Dark Eclipse Order.

Something was awakening there—he could feel a power far exceeding the eighth rank slowly rising.

That was the aura of a ninth-tier expert.

It wasn't the aura of the previous messenger, Mist Shadow, but something else—an older, deeper aura, as if it were one with the Dark Eclipse Order itself.

Lin Xiao's lips curled up slightly.

"I'm waiting."

Enma's pupils contracted slightly: "What are you waiting for?"

Lin Xiao did not answer.

His omniscient rules were operating at full power, and his consciousness spread in all directions like a tide, capturing every subtle change in that aura.

That aura was still on the verge of slumber, but it was being awakened by the fluctuations of this battle.

almost.

That guy arrived quickly.

Void seemed to realize something, and his face turned deathly pale.

He turned his head sharply and looked into the deepest part of the Dark Corruption Order's headquarters, where there was a palace sealed off by numerous restrictions—the High Priest's bedroom.

"You...you're waiting for the High Priest?" His voice trembled. "Are you insane? That's a ninth-rank cultivator! You're actually waiting for a ninth-rank cultivator to make a move?"

Lin Xiao looked at him, her expression remaining calm.

"Ninth rank? It's not like we haven't fought them before."

His tone was so calm, as if he were talking about something trivial, but it was precisely this calmness that made the hearts of Enma and the other two sink to the bottom.

Lin Xiao never took them seriously from the very beginning.

They were just bait.

It was used as bait to lure out the high priest.

The other side's body was trembling violently, his causal rules were running wildly, trying to find a way out from those countless threads of fate.

But no matter how he deduced it, there was only one outcome—a dead end.

"No..." he murmured, "I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."

Enma took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in her heart.

He stood up, his gaze hardening.

"Since he wants to wait, then let him wait." His voice was as cold as frost. "But before the High Priest arrives, we will make him pay the price."

As soon as he finished speaking, his Dark Kingdom suddenly erupted.

That pure darkness, as if it were alive, swept towards Lin Xiao.

Where darkness passes, the void melts away, and rules are devoured.

Void and the Other Shore exchanged a glance and then attacked simultaneously.

Within the Void God Kingdom in the void, countless cracks simultaneously shattered, transforming into countless Void Blades that slashed towards Lin Xiao from all directions.

Each blade of the void is enough to tear apart stars, and when they converge into a torrent, even space itself groans in agony.

In the Godly Kingdom of Cause and Effect on the other side, the gray threads of cause and effect intertwined wildly, transforming into a huge gray pillar of light that crashed down towards Lin Xiao.

The pillar of light contained the power of the God of Mist; though weak, it carried an irresistible pressure.

Three attacks, three deadly moves, simultaneously bombarded Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao remained calm as he watched the three attacks getting closer and closer.

He didn't even use his full strength; he simply raised his right hand and gently pressed it forward.

The edge of the miniature universe suddenly lit up, and a seven-colored barrier appeared out of thin air.

The three attacks slammed into the barrier, blasting it into countless points of light.

The barrier remained completely still, without even a single crack appearing.

Enma's expression changed completely.

He knew Lin Xiao was strong, but he didn't expect Lin Xiao to be this strong.

Their all-out attack couldn't even break through the opponent's defenses?

Lin Xiao looked at them, a hint of pity flashing in her eyes.

"You are not enough."

With a gentle wave of his right hand, three beams of seven-colored light surged from the miniature universe, transforming into three chains that coiled around Yama and the other two.

Yama desperately activated the Dark God Kingdom in an attempt to resist the chains.

But the chains ignored his defenses, pierced through the Dark God Kingdom, and wrapped around his body.

The figure in the void flickered in the void, attempting to evade using the rules of the void.

But the chains seemed to lock down all his possibilities; no matter where he fled, the chains followed him like a shadow.

The causal rules on the other side were operating wildly, trying to sever the connection between the chains and Lin Xiao.

But his power of cause and effect was as fragile as a spider's web before those chains.

The three struggled desperately, bound by the chains, but could not break free no matter what they did.

Lin Xiao looked at them but did not make any further moves.

He merely turned his head slightly, his gaze once again fixed on the deepest part of the Dark Corruption Order.

There, the aura of the ninth rank was becoming increasingly clear.
