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

Three days.

The battle between Lin Xiao and the High Priest has lasted for three whole days.

For three days, the clashes between the two never stopped.

Gray and rainbow lights intertwined in the void, each collision triggering violent fluctuations in the rules, crushing everything around them into dust.

Over the past three days, both of them have paid a heavy price.

Lin Xiao's miniature universe has shrunk to one-fifth of its original size, and its surface is covered with cracks.

Those cracks were constantly healed by the rules of the true self of all things, but they also broke open again under the erosion of the power of decay.

Some planets at the edge of the universe have been obliterated.

His body was covered in wounds, some so deep that the bone was visible, and the gray power of the rules was frantically eroding them.

His face was as pale as paper, and his breath was much weaker.

But he remained standing.

It still hasn't fallen.

The high priest was no better off.

His divine kingdom shrank to one-third of its original size, and the statue of the god of mist was covered with even larger cracks.

Blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his gray robe was tattered and torn.

Although his aura was still powerful, it no longer possessed the overwhelming advantage it had three days ago.

The two faced off in the void, neither making a move.

Because they all knew that if they continued fighting, they wouldn't be able to determine a winner.

-

Meanwhile, the battle at the Dark Eclipse Order headquarters below had already ended two days prior.

The Eternal Alliance's army of five billion, with overwhelming force, utterly crushed the last remaining strength of the Dark Erosion Order.

All fourteen vice-leaders were killed. Their seventh-tier divine kingdoms couldn't even make a ripple in the face of billions of attacks.

Those followers, those fanatical believers, those executioners with blood on their hands, were all reduced to ashes in the overwhelming attack.

No one escaped, and no one was pardoned.

Lin Xiao's order to exterminate them all was carried out without fail.

Meanwhile, Yama, Void, and the Other Shore were bound by Lin Xiao's seven-colored chains at the beginning of the battle.

The chains were an eighth-tier item projected by Lin Xiao using his projection talent—the Mist Chains.

The chains were entirely gray, with strange runes flowing across their surface, specifically designed to bind the power of the strong.

The three were tightly bound by chains and unable to move.

Their divine kingdom has been shattered, and the core of their rules has been sealed. They can only watch helplessly as the headquarters of the Dark Eclipse Cult collapses in flames and their followers die in agony.

Enma closed her eyes and stopped looking.

Void's face was ashen, and he remained silent.

The body on the other side was trembling incessantly, and he was muttering to himself, saying something incomprehensible.

Zhuge Duo stood before them, the rules of fate operating at full power, deducing every detail of the battlefield above.

Her expression was grave, and her brows were furrowed.

It's been three days.

The battle between Lin Xiao and the High Priest has been going on for three days.

She could sense that Lin Xiao's aura was gradually weakening, though slowly.

The high priest's aura was also weakening.

Both of them were expending their strength and were approaching their limits.

"Who...who will win?" Yunxi stood beside her, her voice trembling slightly.

Zhuge Duo shook her head: "I don't know."

She paused, then added, "But I don't think Lin Xiao will lose."

Her voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

Yunxi looked at her, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

She nodded without saying anything.

-

In the void.

The high priest took a deep breath and looked at Lin Xiao opposite him.

A hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.

He knew he couldn't win over Lin Xiao in front of him.

It wasn't because we weren't strong enough, but because our opponents were too tenacious.

That resilience, that willpower, shocked even this ancient monster who had lived for hundreds of millions of years.

Moreover, he had more important things to do.

The God of Mist is about to awaken, and he must return to protect him.

If he continues to waste his time here, he can't bear the responsibility if something unexpected happens.

He took a deep breath and reclaimed his divine kingdom.

Lin Xiao's brow twitched slightly, and the Omniscient Rule was in full operation, alert to any move the High Priest made.

The high priest looked at him and spoke slowly.

"Lin Xiao, let's end today's battle here."

His voice was calm, devoid of anger or resentment, only a faint weariness remained.

It was as if his anger just now was all an act.

They didn't even pay much attention to the fate of the Dark Eclipse Cult headquarters below.

"You have your mission, and I have my duty. Our battle is not over yet."

"But today is not the time."

He turned around and looked at the ruins of the Dark Corruption Order headquarters.

A flicker of regret crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

A million-year-old foundation was destroyed in an instant.

But it doesn't matter. As long as the God of Mist is still here, as long as he is still here, the Order of Dark Erosion can be rebuilt one day.

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

Then, he feinted and unleashed a gray beam of light towards Lin Xiao.

The beam of light wasn't very powerful, but Lin Xiao still instinctively formed a barrier to block it.

In that instant, the high priest's figure transformed into a streak of gray light and flew towards the depths of the misty world.

He was incredibly fast, disappearing into the void in the blink of an eye.

Only one sentence remained, echoing in Lin Xiao's ears.

"Lin Xiao, next time we meet, I won't give you any more chances."

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

Lin Xiao hovered in place, watching the disappearing figure, and remained silent for a long time.

Then, he exhaled a long breath and retracted the miniature universe.

"Ha, you're all so arrogant!"

Lin Xiao chuckled softly and said something in a low voice.

Then, his body swayed, and he almost fell from the void.

Three days of intense fighting had almost exhausted all his strength.

However, this war against the Misty World, which he initiated, ended in Lin Xiao's victory.

This result was deeply etched in the hearts of Feng Yan, Yan Ling, the Golden King, and others.

This can be considered the first victory in the operation against the Mist World in millions of years.

Moreover, it forced back a ninth-tier being, which is already a miracle for an eighth-tier being.

Lin Xiao turned around and flew towards the Eternal Alliance.

He was moving slowly because he didn't have much strength left.

But he is still flying.

Because he knew that there were many people waiting for him below.

-

When Lin Xiao's figure appeared above the ruins of the Dark Eclipse Cult headquarters, the Eternal Alliance's five billion-strong army simultaneously erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Alliance Leader!"

"The Alliance Leader is back!"

"The alliance leader has won!"

The cheers echoed in the void, lingering for a long time.

Zhuge Duo, Yun Xi, Xing Yan, Lü Qiao, Zhao Da, and others rushed to greet them immediately.

Lin Xiao shook her head and didn't say anything more.

Then, he looked at the three people, Yama and his companions, who were bound by chains of mist, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Take them back."

Zhuge Duo nodded: "Understood."

Lin Xiao turned around and looked at the ruins of the Dark Erosion Cult headquarters.

That place was once the most terrifying place in the Misty World, a nightmare for countless living beings.

But now, it has become a ruin.

The black spires collapsed, the grotesque reliefs shattered, and the eerie runes went out.

All that remained was endless emptiness and floating debris.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and turned around.

"go home."

As soon as the words were spoken, the five billion-strong army simultaneously set off, flying majestically towards the Eternal Alliance.

Behind them, the ruins of the Dark Corruption Order headquarters floated silently.

This dark lair, which had existed for countless years, had finally come to an end.

But Lin Xiao knew that the real battle was not over yet.

The God of Mist is still asleep, the High Priest is still secretly watching, and the messenger, Mist Shadow, is nowhere to be found.

Although the Dark Eclipse Cult has been destroyed, the true ruler of the Mist World is still alive.

There is not much time left for him.
