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

The high priest gritted his teeth, and gray, decaying power surged wildly around him, attempting to repair the damage within his body.

However, the scars left by Shi Yan's power of time are not so easy to repair.

Those accelerated moments have completely altered his body's timeline.

Unless he can reverse time, those damages can never be repaired.

Reversing time is almost impossible, even for beings at the ninth rank.

"Retreat!" The high priest made a decisive decision, his figure transforming into a gray streak of light as he flew into the depths of the void.

He knew that in his current state, he was no longer capable of capturing Nelly.

If the fighting continues, he might really perish here.

The high priest's figure vanished into the void.

The warriors of the Eternal Alliance watched the receding gray streak of light and erupted in thunderous cheers.

They did it.

They severely injured a ninth-tier player.

But Zhuge Duo's expression remained solemn.

Because she knew the battle was not over yet.

There is also a ninth-tier being fighting Lin Xiao in a miniature universe.

In the miniature universe, the battle between Lin Xiao and Wu Yin had lasted for a full half day.

This independent space created by Lin Xiao has now become a huge battlefield.

Stars are collapsing, nebulae are shattering, the power of the five elements is running wildly, and seven-colored light is flowing everywhere.

Lin Xiao hovered in the center of the miniature universe, the omniscient rules operating at full power, capturing every move of Wu Yin.

Several wounds appeared on his body, and blood gushed from them, floating in the air.

But his gaze remained resolute, and the power of the miniature universe flowed continuously into his body, repairing his injuries and replenishing his energy.

Wuyin stood opposite him, gray mist swirling around him, completely enveloping his figure.

His aura was still powerful, but it was no longer as terrifying as it had been at the beginning.

In this miniature universe, his power was suppressed by 30%.

Lin Xiao's power was increased by at least 50%.

With this shift in power, the two are now evenly matched.

"You really surprise me." The voice of the Hidden Mist came from the mist, hoarse and cold.

"An eighth-tier being able to fight a ninth-tier to a draw in their own territory. This has never happened before in the history of the Misty World."

Lin Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a cold smile playing on her lips.

"That's because you ninth-tier players are too arrogant."

"You think that the ninth rank is invincible, and that the eighth rank can never challenge the ninth rank."

"But the truth is, as long as you have enough power, rank is just a number."

As soon as he finished speaking, the miniature universe suddenly contracted.

Countless stars converged on Lin Xiao, and the power of the five elements circulated wildly around him, transforming into a seven-colored halo.

The halo rotated slowly, and each rotation resonated throughout the universe.

Lin Xiao's aura reached its peak at this moment.

Wuyin's pupils contracted slightly.

He could sense that the power of Lin Xiao's attack was enough to threaten his life.

"Interesting," he murmured, as gray mist churned wildly around him.

"Then let me see just how strong you really are."

The two figures moved at the same time.

Lin Xiao's figure transformed into a streak of seven-colored light, crashing headlong into Wu Yin.

His fist contained the full power of a miniature universe, with the power of the five elements flowing wildly around it, forming a seven-colored halo.

Wu Yin's figure also transformed into a gray streak of light, colliding head-on with Lin Xiao.

boom--!

The moment the two forces collided, the entire miniature universe trembled violently.

Countless stars shattered in this strike, and countless nebulae vanished.

Lin Xiao's body was blasted back hundreds of feet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wuyin was also knocked back several hundred feet, and the gray mist surrounding him thinned considerably, revealing his pale face.

The two exchanged a glance, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in their eyes simultaneously.

"Again!"

Lin Xiao shouted and charged forward again.

The seven-colored light and the gray light collided continuously in the miniature universe, and each collision caused the entire universe to tremble.

The battle has reached a fever pitch.

Time passed, second by second.

Lin Xiao's injuries worsened, and the cracks in his miniature universe multiplied.

But the situation in the Hidden Mist Village wasn't much better.

His gray mist had thinned to almost transparent, his face was as pale as paper, and his aura had dropped to the critical point of the ninth rank.

Both of them were exhausted and fighting desperately.

Whoever can hold out until the end will win.

Just then, Lin Xiao's omniscient rule seized an opportunity.

The attack from the Hidden Mist paused for an extremely slight moment.

That pause lasted only 0.01 seconds, fleeting in an instant.

But for Lin Xiao, that was enough.

All the power in the miniature universe was mobilized at this moment.

The power of the five elements was running wildly in the depths of the universe. The five rules of metal, wood, water, fire and earth intertwined to form a huge seven-colored pillar of light.

A beam of light surged from the miniature universe and crashed down upon the Hidden Mist.

Wuyin's pupils suddenly contracted.

He tried to dodge, but it was too late.

A beam of seven-colored light slammed into him.

boom--!

Wuyin's body was blasted away, and gray blood spurted from his mouth, drawing a tragic arc in the void.

A huge hole appeared in his chest.

It was a wound pierced by a seven-colored beam of light, and the residual energy of the five elements still lingered at the edges, preventing the wound from healing.

His aura suddenly plummeted at that moment.

He fell from the ninth rank to the peak of the eighth rank.

"You..." He looked at Lin Xiao, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

Lin Xiao remained suspended in place, with a miniature universe slowly rotating behind him.

His body was covered in wounds, and blood was gushing from them, but his eyes remained resolute.

"You lost," he said softly.

Wuyin was silent for a moment, then smiled.

That smile carried a hint of bitterness and resentment.

"Yes, I lost."

He turned around and flew out of the miniature universe.

"But Lin Xiao, don't be so smug. The power of the God of Mist far exceeds your imagination."

"You won today, but you won't be so lucky next time."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the void.

Lin Xiao watched the gray streak of light disappear into the distance, and with the Omniscient Rule operating at full power, he confirmed that Wu Yin had indeed left.

Then, his body suddenly went limp, and he almost fell from the void.

He hadn't wanted to leave Kirigakure here permanently, but his current state and the possibility of Kirigakure's desperate counterattack made him abandon that idea.

Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief as the miniature universe shrank and merged into his body.

His breath was extremely weak at this moment.

But he is still alive.

He won.
