Chapter 1347: Boundary Broken

On the ground in the Dragon Head War Zone.

The massive defensive barrier was covered with layers of viscous, blood-red light. This crimson light evidently possessed a unique power of erosion and defilement, causing the barrier, which gathered the might of the armies of the Heavens, to gradually thin and dim over time.

In the distant void, the Blood Mirror stood, continuously reflecting torrents of crimson light.

The Sacred Race army watched from afar. As they observed the panicked armies of the Heavens behind the barrier, their faces were etched with mockery and cruel smiles. Once this defensive barrier was broken, the armies of the Heavens would be nothing more than pigs and dogs waiting to be slaughtered in their eyes.

Tai Xuan stood suspended in the air, observing the scene with indifferent eyes. His gaze swept over Xu Beiyan, Xi Jing, and others among the armies of the Heavens. He secretly shook his head, finding the situation somewhat uninteresting. “The Heavens are still so pathetic… How can such pathetic beings compare to the noble Sacred Race? Indeed, in this world, only my Sacred God of the Sacred Race is the sole entity. These beings created by the Ancestral Dragon of Genesis have no potential at all.” “Nevertheless, they are destined for extinction. All power in this world will return to our God.”

Tai Xuan shook his head and calmly addressed those within the barrier: “When the barrier breaks, if anyone kneels and surrenders to become a slave of my Sacred Race, their lives may be spared.”

Hearing his words, the armies of the Heavens immediately showed anger. This person clearly had sinister intentions, attempting to demoralize them at such a moment. “A crocodile’s pity is simply ridiculous. We of the Heavens would rather die than surrender!” Xi Jing’s eyes were cold as she spoke icily. “We of the Heavens would rather die than surrender!” Among many powerful figures from the Heavens, battle intent surged in their eyes. The next moment, countless rousing roars echoed through the air.

Seeing this, Tai Xuan smiled and said indifferently, “How touching. In that case… then all of you may die.” “This barrier has about half an incense stick’s time left… This is your final time. Enjoy it.” With his hands clasped behind his back and eyes slightly closed, he stood alone in the void. The oppressive aura he exuded made many powerful Law Domain experts from the Heavens struggle to breathe, and the terror in their eyes was impossible to hide. The opponent’s strength was utterly despair-inducing! They had never imagined that someone could reach such a terrifying level in the Law Domain stage. Tai Xuan, as he was now, was likely the true foremost expert below the Saints in the current era.

The atmosphere within the entire barrier was so oppressive it felt almost solidified. And half an incense stick’s time slowly passed. Many powerful figures watched Tai Xuan, who stood in the void, still emanating a vast and formidable aura. A sense of despair inevitably surfaced in their eyes. They had retreated behind the barrier, originally hoping to last until Tai Xuan’s peak period subsided, but now it was clear the barrier would not hold out that long.

Xu Beiyan’s expression was also somewhat grim at this moment. His hands were tightly clenched, but deep within his gaze towards Tai Xuan, there was a hint of fear. “Everyone, the barrier is about to break. We have no way to retreat. Prepare to risk everything and fight him to the death.” Xi Jing’s cold voice rang out, imbued with resolute determination. The nearby Law Domain third-stage experts all looked at her. They felt admiration for Xi Jing’s fearless and resolute demeanor in that moment, as maintaining courage and battle intent against such a powerful enemy was not something everyone could do.

“This Tai Xuan is a product created by the Sacred Race concentrating all their power this time. If we can drag him down here, even if all of us self-destruct our Law Domains, it would be worth it!” Xi Jing’s gaze swept over the others as she slowly said, “It just depends… on whether we dare to or not.” Self-destruct their Law Domains? The hearts of many Law Domain experts trembled, their expressions complex. This was the final resort for those in the Law Domain stage, and once employed, there would be no chance of recovery, only certain death.

Xu Beiyan looked at the fierce and determined Xi Jing at that moment, his throat bobbing as he said somewhat dryly, “Elder Xi Jing, is there really a need for this? This entire force is the elite of the Heavens. If things are impossible, why not take a temporary step back? Preserving our strength is the most important thing.” Xi Jing gave him a cold look. “Retreating now would mean surrendering the Stone Dragon Secret Realm. The Sacred Race could then use it to produce many more powerful individuals. And after that, when the Sacred Race invades the Heavens, where will you retreat to then?!” “Or are you, Xu Beiyan… afraid?!” Faced with Xi Jing’s aggressive questioning, Xu Beiyan’s scalp grew cold with sweat, and he cursed her silently as a madwoman. But at that moment, others were also looking at him, and if he admitted to being a coward, his reputation would likely be completely ruined. So, he forced a smile and said, “How could I be?”

Crack! Just as they were speaking, a faint cracking sound suddenly rang out. Though not loud, it struck the ears of the armies of the Heavens like a peal of thunder, causing their hair to stand on end. Horrified gazes followed the sound, revealing a crack slowly extending across the barrier’s light shield. “The barrier is about to break…” someone said with a dry voice. Crack! Crack! The sounds of shattering echoed one after another within mere breaths. The cracks spread rapidly under the terrified gazes of the armies of the Heavens, eventually covering the entire barrier light shield. From a distance, it looked like a shattered eggshell. When the cracks reached their limit, the defensive light shield finally gave way with a thunderous roar. The barrier exploded into countless points of light.

In that instant, it was as if time itself had frozen. In the void, Tai Xuan, standing with his hands behind his back, slowly opened his eyes, which held an expression of cold indifference. He gazed at the now unprotected armies of the Heavens and spoke in a flat voice, “Your shield is broken. Now, will you choose death, or will you kneel and become slaves?”

His answer came in the form of a sky-shattering surge of Origin Qi. Xi Jing’s beautiful face was stern; without a word, she unleashed her Origin Qi and charged forward. Her actions declared her answer. Behind her, the Law Domain experts of the Heavens, who had been a beat too slow, felt a pang of shame. Their battle intent was not even as strong as that of a single woman… “Let’s go! We may be defeated, but we will not be humiliated!” a Law Domain third-stage expert said in a low voice. The next instant, powerful surges of Origin Qi erupted, and their figures shot forth like streaks of light.

Xi Jing charged at the very front, her gaze fixed on Tai Xuan’s figure, her eyes filled with determination. She knew her strength could not possibly shake Tai Xuan, so she had made this move with the certainty of death. She intended to use her actions to galvanize the Heavens’ morale and ignite their resolve to fight to the death!

“Wind God Law Domain!” Her azure Law Domain suddenly expanded, and the power within it became incredibly violent. “Oh? Is this… a Law Domain self-detonation?” A hint of interest appeared on Tai Xuan’s face. This Law Domain third-stage woman from the Heavens certainly had some spirit; she was worth appreciating. “However…”

A peculiar smile played on his lips. “It seems you haven’t yet experienced what true despair feels like…” “Before me, you don’t even have the right to self-destruct your Law Domain.”

Tai Xuan instantly saw through Xi Jing’s intention: she wanted to use self-detonation to ignite the Heavens’ resolve to fight to the death, but he had no intention of letting her succeed. From between his brows, within his Sacred Eye, sacred light flowed. The next instant, a beam of light shot out. The light of that beam was imperceptible to the naked eye; even Xi Jing was enveloped by it in that instant. Then, to her horror, she realized that her Law Domain, along with her very being, had lost all control in that moment… Her body became frozen in the void, like an insect trapped in a frozen river of time and space.

A playful smirk appeared on Tai Xuan’s lips. He raised a finger, and terrifying Origin Qi gathered at its tip. The next moment, it directly formed a lightning spear. Upon the spear, lightning was compressed, forming ancient patterns filled with destructive intent. “This is… the Thunder Devil Spear.” “Since you intend to sacrifice yourself, I shall grant you that wish.”

He flicked his finger, and the void before him exploded. A dark light seemed to tear through space, appearing directly in front of Xi Jing in just a single breath. The lightning spear was reflected in her pupils. The destructive power pulsating on it made her realize that if she were hit, she would vanish into thin air today. But she felt no fear, only immense unwillingness. She wasn't afraid to die, but she didn’t want to perish without achieving anything… And clearly, her opponent was doing this intentionally. This condescending, mocking demeanor filled Xi Jing with intense rage.

Behind her, the many Law Domain third-stage experts who had charged forward also froze for an instant. Their courage to fight to the death was gradually being eroded as the lightning spear hurtled towards Xi Jing. “Is it truly… ending like this?” they muttered in pain.

Xi Jing stared at the roaring lightning spear, finally letting her eyelids drop in helplessness. “Master, Senior Brother… Xi Jing is incompetent. I can only go ahead first.” “Perhaps it’s for the best. I can go be with Junior Brother, so he won’t be lonely,” she whispered, mocking herself.

The destructive lightning spear tore through the void and shot forth, and Xi Jing could already feel the terrifying power rushing towards her… Countless gazes were fixed on this scene; time seemed to freeze at that moment.

However, just as the lightning spear was about to strike Xi Jing’s chest, a slender hand suddenly extended from the void. With a gentle clasp, it firmly gripped the roaring lightning spear, which was like a savage dragon. It could not advance an inch further.

The slender hand tightened its grip, then suddenly squeezed. The lightning spear shattered.

The sudden turn of events caused countless onlookers to instantly gape in astonishment.

Xi Jing, who had not felt the destructive force engulf her, felt a surge of confusion. Just as she was about to open her eyes, she heard a laugh. The familiar voice made a strong pang of emotion rise in her nose. “Senior Sister Xi Jing, I, your Junior Brother, am still perfectly well. Don’t curse me yet.”
