Chapter 1340

Above the battlefield, as Tai Xuan’s aura surged wildly once more, even Xi Jing, who was typically fearless, felt a momentary sense of powerlessness when confronted with this sight.

She could naturally see that Tai Xuan’s power was not only drawn from the life energy of countless individuals on the battlefield but also from the top-tier Law Domain experts of the Saint Race.

This convergence of power created a terrifying entity.

What Xi Jing and the others found unbelievable was how his body could withstand such immense power. By conventional standards, even a third-stage Law Domain expert shouldn't possess such strength.

Their gaze fell upon the Sacred Eye in Tai Xuan's brow, which was dark red, deep, and ominous, like a devil's eye, radiating boundless terror.

All of this must have originated from the power of his Sacred Eye.

Amidst the many startled gazes, Tai Xuan stretched, as if limbering up. He smiled as he looked at the third-stage Law Domain experts from the Heavens, asking, "Are you ready to face true fear now?"

No one responded, but their faces were grim, clearly understanding that the current situation was extremely disadvantageous for them.

Tai Xuan smiled as a light rose from the crown of his head, forming what looked like an auspicious cloud. Within the cloud, the light condensed, shaping into a six-sided luminous mirror that flickered, seemingly radiating boundless terror.

"This is the Holy Light of Returning to Emptiness..."

As Tai Xuan whispered casually, the six-sided luminous mirror trembled violently. The Genesis Qi in this world boiled and was instantly swallowed into the mirror. The next moment, the vast Genesis Qi was compressed and then erupted with a sudden blast!

A beam of light, imperceptible to the naked eye, shot forth. Those below the third-stage Law Domain could barely even see it, yet only Xi Jing and her comrades felt their hairs stand on end, sensing a deadly crisis approaching.

The destructive power of that beam sent shivers down their spines.

Tai Xuan's power at this moment was truly terrifying!

Therefore, Xi Jing, Xu Beiyan, and many other third-stage Law Domain experts almost instinctively activated their Law Domain treasures, meeting the attack with all their might.

Two torrents, powerful enough to pierce star rivers, collided. The Genesis Qi shockwave raged for tens of thousands of miles, sweeping across the sky.

However, at the moment of impact, several third-stage Law Domain experts from the Heavens spewed blood. Their Law Domain treasures had been shattered by the force of the collision, and they themselves suffered the repercussions.

When the shockwave dissipated, the third-stage Law Domain experts from the Heavens all looked grim. It was clear that in this confrontation, Tai Xuan had, by himself, completely overwhelmed all of them!

This was truly terrifying!

The retreating armies of the Heavens, observing this scene from afar, were collectively speechless, their panic unconcealable.

Xu Beiyan took a deep breath, turning to Xi Jing and gravely asking, "Do you still intend to fight head-on? That would just be a pointless sacrifice!"

Xi Jing clenched her fists, veins bulging on her pale hands, and her teeth gritted, revealing her inner unwillingness.

The other third-stage Law Domain experts who had previously charged alongside Xi Jing fell silent. While Tai Xuan had been strong before, he hadn't been insurmountable. Now, with his power surging again, even their combined forces no longer held an advantage.

If they continued fighting, their casualties would only increase.

"Tai Xuan is currently augmenting his power with the Sacred Eye," Xu Beiyan quickly stated. "Although his ability is strange, I assume this augmentation has a time limit. We must not be reckless. We should retreat to the defensive barrier now and use it to buy time. If we can delay until his augmentation ends, that will be our chance to counterattack!"

The other third-stage Law Domain experts nodded slightly upon hearing this. Xu Beiyan's reasoning indeed made sense. Their previous engagement with Tai Xuan should have bought the army some time for their retreat.

This time, Xi Jing did not object. She could only sigh lightly, her eyes filled with killing intent and reluctance as she gazed at Tai Xuan in the distant void.

Seeing this, Xu Beiyan's expression relaxed slightly. The next moment, all the third-stage Law Domain experts transformed into streaks of light and shot back through the air.

Seeing this, the armies of the Heavens also understood that even the third-stage Law Domain experts could no longer hold out, and so they frantically accelerated their retreat.

"A bunch of stray dogs."

Tai Xuan watched the scene, shaking his head with a smile.

However, there was no hint of warmth in his eyes; instead, they were filled with cold indifference and mercilessness.

He moved, and afterimages flickered in the void. His figure seemed to teleport, directly pursuing the retreating armies of the Heavens.

In the Dragon Head battlefield, a bizarre scene unfolded: the armies of the Heavens fled grandly ahead, while behind them, Tai Xuan pursued alone. From a distance, it looked as if a tiger or leopard was leisurely hunting a flock of sheep on the prairie.

Xi Jing and the other top experts were filled with indignation. Having reached their current positions, they were naturally considered prodigies among the Heavens, having endured countless battles over the years. Yet, never before had they, all of them, been chased like this by a single individual.

It was likely that the Saint experts of the Heavens, observing from outside the Stone Dragon Secret Realm, felt the exact same way.

This pursuit continued for a moment, until the defensive barrier in the rear came into view.

Those at the very front of the army were already drawing near.

Seeing this, Xu Beiyan activated the barrier control authority in his palm. Instantly, the barrier's light shield split open in the middle, creating an opening.

"Everyone, retreat quickly into the barrier!" Xi Jing's commanding shout followed.

The chaotic army swarmed continuously into the opening.

However, at that moment, a vast torrent suddenly descended from the sky at the rear of the army, instantly melting the people of the Heavens in that area, turning them into surging blood energy that rose into the air.

Clearly, Tai Xuan had caught up.

The army's retreat became even more chaotic.

From a distance behind, Tai Xuan strode through the air, continuously unleashing terrifying beams of light from his sleeves. A smile played on his lips as he relentlessly slaughtered waves of the Heavens' forces. His smile deepened, especially when he heard their despairing cries.

Xi Jing and the other third-stage Law Domain experts watched with bloodshot eyes. However, their defensive range was limited; they could only protect the portion of the army within their immediate vicinity. Expanding their range further would bring them into Tai Xuan's attack zone.

Xu Beiyan gravely stated, "Everyone, the most important thing right now is to protect as many people as possible as they retreat into the barrier. A moment's impatience can ruin a great plan!"

So, they could only force themselves to look away.

Meanwhile, at a certain point at the rear of the army.

Wu Yao, Su Youwei, Zhao Mushen, and others who were originally part of Zhou Yuan's team were quickly retreating. Their expressions were grim; after all, no one had expected the Heavens to collapse so rapidly.

"This time is even harder than the fight for the Ancient Origin Heaven back then," Wu Yao said, her delicate brows furrowed and her teeth clenched tightly. Her nature was strong, yet here she could only flee with the army.

Zhao Mushen and Su Youwei, standing nearby, remained silent. Tai Xuan's power was simply too terrifying. They suspected he had probably reached the very peak of the Law Domain realm, just a step away from becoming a Saint.

With that level of power, it was no wonder that the many third-stage Law Domain experts from the Heavens couldn't stop him.

"Let's speed up," Zhao Mushen muttered. "That madman is sweeping the rear of the army everywhere. He must be trying to kill people to absorb their life energy! It looks like it'll be our turn soon."

Just as his voice trailed off, a beam of light imbued with terrifying power descended from the sky, instantly annihilating everyone in a nearby area.

The group instantly fell silent, feeling their scalps tingle.

Zhao Mushen's mouth twitched. "Hurry! Next time, it might be us!"

Wu Yao, Su Youwei, and the others glared at him in unison: "Shut up!"

However, before their angry shouts had fully faded, their expressions dramatically changed as they saw the void above them suddenly shatter, and a destructive beam of light, like a heavenly waterfall, descended.

That beam was headed directly for them.

In that instant, fear appeared on everyone's faces.
