You want me to take out a loan to practice cultivation? I'll just pay off the debt physically.

[Boom!]

This was not a real sound, but the ultimate roar that erupted deep within the souls of all beings at every level of perception when two supreme wills of rules clashed most violently at the most intense point of the vast void.

The terrifying power of the Abyss's Will, carrying the boundless resentment and rage of the entire world, transformed into a beam of annihilation, colliding squarely with the pure and dazzling silver radiance of the Heart Demon God's mental rules in the center of this chosen void battlefield.

Two completely different and immense forces bloomed in the void.

On one side is the primordial essence of a vast world, a collection of countless worlds and billions of demons, its chaotic rules accumulated over billions of years; on the other side is the raging flames of rules ignited by newly born transcendent beings, fueled by their own existence.

The annihilation effect of their collision seemed to tear apart the surrounding void.

At the center of the collision, a tiny yet extremely dangerous void singularity flashed by, swallowing all light and matter in the vicinity.

The shockwave spread outwards in a spherical shape, cracking the stable void structure like glass wherever it passed. Free energy was completely ionized, the light of distant stars was distorted and dimmed, and the regular patterns emitted mournful cries of unbearable strain.

[The aftershocks alone were enough to make top-tier True Gods retreat and to instantly vaporize ordinary True Gods.]

This is the most direct and brutal clash of forces between the individual transcendent and the collective will of the world!

[After successfully striking and assessing the difference in strength between the two sides, the Heart Demon God quickly changed his strategy.]

Without the slightest hesitation, without even looking at the outcome of the collision, He brought His newly solidified power of the transcendent mental rules to its fullest extent.

All divine thoughts, all insights, all power, including that profound memory from a previous timeline—a memory of tens of thousands of years of struggle with the abyss—were compressed and purified at this moment.

This time, the strength wasn't used for another offensive, but for breaking through!

Then, He launched an all-out assault on a seemingly insignificant weak point within the endless cage formed from the boundless malice of the abyss's will.

This is not a detour, not a test, but a desperate, all-or-nothing charge!

Using his newly reconstructed transcendent divine body and the condensed transcendent divine spark as his sharpest point of attack, and guided by a belief derived from experience and calculation, he transformed into a silver comet of the mind, tearing everything apart, and directly blasted towards them!

Its speed was so great that it even surpassed the transmission of thought, leaving a scorching trail in the void composed of shattered rules.

Normally, this approach would be extremely risky.

[Faced with a cage meticulously constructed by the will of a great world, designed to imprison beings of the same level, any seemingly weak point could be a trap to lure the enemy in, or a connection to an even more terrifying annihilation mechanism.]

Especially in a global competition, every step could be a plunge into an abyss.

Because no one knows how many insidious and deadly contingency plans are hidden behind the opponent's killing move.

Blindly attacking weaknesses could easily lead to being caught in a trap, instantly countered and sealed off, plunging you into utter ruin.

[But while others may not know, the Demon God does!]

This is His greatest and most unique advantage when facing attacks from the will of the abyss!

In the previous timeline, He fought the will of the abyss for tens of thousands of years.

[It was a long war that spanned the rise and fall of civilizations and witnessed the collapse of the great world.] [In countless life-or-death battles, during the fighting, the will of the abyss would occasionally throw out a cage with a similar principle but varying in power, attempting to trap, weaken, and ultimately devour the inner demon god.]

Although at that point in time, due to the severe injury to the creator of the Heart Demon God and other factors, the power of the Abyss Will had weakened to the point of being difficult to attach to, and the strength and changes of its cage were perhaps not as great as they are now.

However, all laws ultimately lead to the same source. The core ideas behind the Abyss's construction of these rule-based cages, its preferred patterns of energy flow, and its structural habits most easily breached from within, along with the deadly moves and methods it employs, are all largely the same.

The experience gained in the previous timeline, bought with blood and fire, has now become the most incisive eye for breaking through the impasse in this timeline's inner demon god.

The weak point He chose was not random, but based on a deep understanding and prediction that, when the will of the abyss constructed such a cage, the point where the power conversion was most likely to stagnate at one of the key rule interfaces.

That was the crushing victory of experience over the unknown, a battle of wisdom that transcended time and space.

As expected!

[When the terrifying power of the Demon God, imbued with all its conviction, struck and pierced the predicted weak point, an astonishing scene unfolded.]

The seemingly flawless abyssal cage, exuding an aura that could instill despair even in true gods, saw its layered, nested structure of rules crack and break as if struck at its most critical load-bearing node.

[A silvery, radiant light erupted from within, instantly creating a large hole!]

[This opening was not static, but rapidly expanding. The abyssal rules at its edge twisted and evaporated like molten asphalt, instantly collapsing the overall stability of the cage and creating a massive gap in the force field that sealed off spacetime.]

[Just like that, the instant the cave entrance expanded enough for passage, the silver comet, transformed from the Heart Demon God, flashed past without the slightest hesitation.]

He passed through the shattered cage, his transcendent aura like ink dissolving in water, vanishing completely from this void after a few elusive leaps through the air.

[Leaving no traceable ripples of rules, revealing no spatial coordinates of its destination, as if it had never existed here.]

Only the slowly collapsing remains of the cage, and the still-unsettled turbulent currents of rules at the center of the void battlefield, proved that what had just happened was not an illusion.

【quiet!】

【silence!】

The surrounding area was completely silent!

This stillness is not silence in a physical sense, but rather a brief pause at the level of rules.

The abyss's overwhelming rage and killing intent seemed to be choked by this sudden, clean escape, leaving a brief, almost blank, void in its mind.

The gazes of the will of hell and the will of the spirit world, which had been constantly watching this place, seemed to freeze at this moment.

The anticipated fierce tug-of-war between imprisonment and resistance did not materialize. Instead, a swift, precise, and inexplicable breach and disappearance occurred.

[In this conflict, it seems the inner demons have escaped.]

[But everyone present understood that the will of the abyss had lost this charge!] (End of Chapter)
