High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

The ground of the entire battlefield began to undulate violently, and the fleshy fungal carpet spread wildly at a visible speed, covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye!

The sky darkened.

It wasn't clouds obscuring the view, but countless dark, swarming insectoids pouring out of the void rifts! Blade Insects, exploding Insects, bloodsucking Insects, corrosive Insects… each possessed a combat strength of over a thousand units, and their sheer numbers were astounding.

Endless!

"Form ranks! Form ranks now!"

Xuanyuan Yu was the first to react and shouted sternly.

His body shone with a burst of pure light, and four pseudo-super-god level divine treasures manifested simultaneously, transforming into a pure sword array that covered an area of ​​a hundred feet in radius. Within the sword array, any insectoid creature that rushed in would be instantly shredded by the invisible sword energy.

Jin Xuan roared, unleashing his Undying Golden Body to its fullest potential, transforming into a ten-zhang-tall golden figure. His fists pounded out like drums, each punch shattering dozens of Blade Insects.

Moonlight swirled around Yue Liuli, and the chilling aura of Yin froze an area. The insectoids that rushed in were slowed down and were killed by her sword strikes.

Xuan Yao was the most stable one—he sat down cross-legged, and the ground beneath him rose up, transforming into an indestructible rock fortress. The insect swarm that crashed into it could only be smashed to pieces.

Ao Huanglong roared, his true dragon form manifested, and his dragon breath swept across, clearing out a large swathe of the insectoid race.

The hundred prodigies, each displaying their unique abilities, managed to regain their composure after the initial chaos.

But everyone's heart sank to the bottom.

Because the insect swarms are truly endless.

"This won't do!" roared a prodigy from the Frosty Heaven Realm. "We can't possibly kill all these insects! Our strength is limited!"

"Kill!" Jin Xuan's eyes were bloodshot as he smashed a swarm of insectoids with another punch. "Kill! The more you kill, the higher your score!"

On the leaderboard, everyone's points began to slowly increase.

Killing a regular Blade Bug earns approximately 10 points.

Self-destructing bug: 15 points.

Bloodsucking worms: 20 points.

At this moment, dozens or even hundreds of Zerglings are swarming around each person every second. If they can keep killing them, their points will actually increase quite quickly—if they can keep going.

The problem is that the divine power is being consumed rapidly.

"Senior Brother Xuanyuan! At this rate, we won't last half an hour!" Xuanyuan Qingge slew three corrosive insects with a single sword strike, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his usually cold face.

Xuanyuan Yu frowned as he looked at the center of the battlefield—the Zerg lord Kahn, who hadn't moved an inch from beginning to end.

He stood there, the nine divine rings slowly rotating, as if watching a drama that had nothing to do with him.

"We must... attack the main body." Xuan Yuan Yu took a deep breath. "Only by damaging the main body can we obtain a huge number of points, and only then... might we be able to influence the insect swarm."

"I'll go!" Jin Xuan roared, his indestructible golden body bursting with unprecedented light. He transformed into a golden meteor, tearing through the insect swarm and rushing straight at Kahn!

He used all his strength in this attack. The gilded immortal divine treasure and the incinerating divine treasure ignited simultaneously, and his fist struck out like a blazing sun falling to earth!

All the prodigies looked over.

Then--

They witnessed a scene of utter despair.

Kahn didn't even raise his hand.

However, the "Undying" divine ring among the nine divine rings surrounding him glowed slightly.

hum.

Jin Xuan's punch, powerful enough to shatter mountains, seemed to have struck an invisible and insurmountable wall three zhang in front of Kahn.

The golden light, flames, and divine power on the fist melted and dissipated silently the moment they touched that "wall," like ice and snow meeting the sun.

There was no explosion, no impact, not even a sound.

Just like that... it disappeared.

Jin Xuan's face turned deathly pale instantly. He abruptly withdrew his fist and stepped back, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

"It's useless." Yue Liuli's cold voice rang out, tinged with bitterness. "The Nine High-Level Law Saint Rings... are the initial manifestation of law authority. Our attack was completely suppressed at the law level."

Xuan Yao attempted to draw upon the power of the earth, and countless rock spikes burst forth from beneath Kahn's feet.

With a turn of the "Devour" divine ring, the rock spikes turned to ashes and were completely absorbed.

Ao Huang's dragon breath.

The "Regeneration" halo shone down, and the smoked carapace was instantly restored.

Any attack, whether physical, energetic, or based on the power of divine essence, is perfectly neutralized by various divine rings before it even touches the Dharma body.

Absolute defense, absolute suppression.

A sense of despair began to spread in the hearts of all the prodigies.

"So... we just keep killing bugs until we run out of power and are eliminated?" someone murmured.

On the leaderboard, although everyone's points were increasing, the gap wasn't widening significantly. This was because everyone was doing the same thing—killing bugs.

Except for one person.

Su Jie.

He hasn't moved since the start of the battle.

Su Jie simply stood there, and within three feet of him, not a single insectoid dared to approach—those ferocious blade insects and self-destructing insects, when they rushed near him, would bounce away as if they had hit an invisible wall, or inexplicably turn around, as if they were afraid of something and instinctively avoided this area.

Su Jie's holy soul locked onto the figure thousands of miles away, who had not moved an inch since appearing, and the nine slowly rotating, two-colored intertwined holy rings behind him.

"System," Su Jie calmly said in his mind, "Scan that insect on the other side and calculate its combat strength."

[Normal Overall Combat Strength in this Domain: 76500 Sources]

[Special Note: This data does not include talents, secret techniques, or unknown trump cards]

"7.65 Yuan Yao..." Su Jie murmured to himself, followed by an even more intense light.

This data only ranks around ten thousandth on the All-Heavens Ranking. What kind of beings are those ranked in the top hundred? Are their Dharma forms super-god level?

Su Jie glanced at his data panel:

[Base combat power bonus: 2.9 Source]

[Additional combat power bonus: 10.9 Source]

[Trump Cards: Level Two Battle Intent, Reflection of All Heavens (Fragment), True Meaning of All Things, Nine Tribulations Return to Ruins]

[Late Stage of Tenth-Tier Saint Soul]...

Even without considering the Great Luo Sword Embryo, which had already reached the tenth-star level, Su Jie's combat power, when all his trump cards were unleashed, reached 14 Yuan, which alone surpassed his opponent's.

The opponent may have secret techniques and talents that you don't know about, but so what? No matter how much they enhance it, it can't compare to his Great Luo Sword Embryo with a combat power of 10 Yuan!
