Projection of the Heavens: I prove my immortality through slaughter.

The starlight barrier of the Zhou Tian Star Array, like a brilliant crystal suddenly solidified in the veins of the universe, stretches across the edge of the Xuan Tian Star Domain. It operates silently, drawing energy from the distant star sea, transforming the pure and boundless power of the stars into the most solid barrier. Above the barrier, starlight flickers, seemingly corresponding to the cycle of birth and death of the celestial stars, radiating a grand aura interwoven with eternity, order, and annihilation.

This aura was so glaring and so abhorrent to the extraterrestrial demons born from chaos and destruction.

After a brief pause and turmoil, from the depths of the extraterrestrial rift, the abyssal auras of several demonic lords roared silently. The command spread like ripples throughout the entire demonic tide.

"Roar—!" "Tear it apart! Devour the starlight!"

The next moment, the impatient Heavenly Demon Vanguard Army, like a black tsunami bursting its banks, carrying overwhelming demonic energy and a destructive will, launched a frenzied attack on the newly formed starlight barrier!

This demonic tide is far more turbulent than before. It contains not only endless low-level demonic soldiers, but also a large number of massive and ferocious high-level demonic soldiers, whose aura is comparable to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and even includes many demonic generals equivalent to the Golden Core stage! They are like a black metallic torrent, and wherever they pass, even starlight seems to be swallowed up.

"Prepare to engage the enemy!"

"Hold your ground! Buddha's Light, prepare!"

"Demon warriors, tear them apart with me!"

Although the allied cultivators gathered at the rear still harbored fear, the sense of security provided by the Zhou Tian Star Array and the encouragement of Lin Xuan's mountain-like steadfast figure inspired them to roar. Various magical treasures shone brightly, and the array's light flowed, preparing to rely on the array to resist.

However, Lin Xuan did not allow them to engage the enemy immediately.

He stood atop the main star, looking down at the vanguard of the Heavenly Demons surging like a black tide, his eyes as cold as ancient ice. These low-level demons, though numerous, were not worth the effort of the allied forces, who had just suffered a defeat and whose morale had not yet fully recovered, to confront them head-on.

What he wanted was a crushing victory, a resounding triumph that would solidify his supreme authority and greatly boost morale!

Just moments before the vanguard of the black demonic tide was about to crash heavily into the starlight barrier—

Lin Xuan made a move.

He didn't even leave the main star he was standing on. He simply raised his right hand and, facing the millions of heavenly demons that were coming from all directions, pressed down with a palm.

This palm strike, though seemingly slow, seemed to instantly drain the concept of "force" from the surrounding star field!

In his palm, it wasn't magical power surging, but rather the phantom of the innate "power" divine rune he had just comprehended suddenly appeared and magnified! The divine rune rotated, triggering the most fundamental "power" rules in the universe! The immense magical power of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir and his profound understanding of the Great Dao of Power were all poured into it!

"boom--!!!"

A gigantic, purple-gold hand, beyond description, appeared out of thin air in the starry sky!

This palm was not a physical object, but rather composed entirely of the ultimate condensation of power laws and the aura of stellar annihilation! The palm lines were clearly defined, as if drawn by a galaxy, and a terrifying aura capable of collapsing space flowed from its fingertips. Its size was enough to cover nearly half of the vanguard of the demonic tide!

The moment the palm appeared, the surging demonic tide in front seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of absolute power, and its momentum abruptly halted! Countless low-level demonic soldiers didn't even have time to scream before they were directly crushed into the most primal demonic energy under the pure force field!

"town!"

Lin Xuan uttered a single word softly.

The colossal purple-gold hand, obscuring the sky, slowly pressed down upon the millions of screaming and struggling demons below, following his words!

There were no dazzling light and shadow explosions, no deafening sounds.

Only the most extreme power can crush it!

Wherever the giant hand passed, space shattered like fragile glass, leaving behind trails of pitch-black nothingness. Those demonic soldiers and generals, equivalent to Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, whose proud demonic bodies, hard shells, and bizarre demonic arts were nothing more than ice and snow under the sun, instantly melting and disintegrating before this absolute power!

They tried to resist, spewing demonic flames, unleashing mental attacks, and forming magical shields... but all their struggles seemed laughable and powerless before the giant hand that represented the source of power. The demonic flames extinguished, the mental attacks vanished like mud bubbling into the sea, and the magical shields were torn apart like pieces of paper.

"Puff puff puff puff—!!!"

A dense, indistinguishable chorus of faint sounds, like bubbles bursting, filled the starry sky.

That was the final lament of a million demons as their bodies and souls were utterly crushed and annihilated by absolute power in the same instant!

The giant purple-gold palm slowly pressed down, then vanished like a phantom.

The area covered by the palm strike, which was originally densely packed with roars and demonic energy, became completely "clean".

Yes, it's clean.

Millions of demons, along with the dense demonic energy they emitted, were wiped completely from the canvas of the starry sky as if by an invisible eraser! There were no remains, no bloodstains, only a temporary void where even the starlight seemed to have dimmed, and some spatial ripples that had not yet completely subsided.

silence.

A deathly silence enveloped both sides of the battlefield.

The allied cultivators, who had been waiting in formation at the rear, stared wide-eyed, their minds blank. They had anticipated that their leader would be strong, but they had never imagined he could be so inconceivably powerful! One palm strike, just one palm strike! Annihilated a million-strong vanguard of Heavenly Demons! What kind of divine power was this? What kind of might was this?

Even the bloodthirsty and frenzied demons paused briefly, and the auras of the demon lords deep within the rift fluctuated violently with uncertainty.

The starry sky seemed to be stained with an invisible, chilling crimson by the millions of celestial demons that were annihilated in an instant.

Lin Xuan slowly withdrew his palm, his expression calm, as if he had only done a trivial matter. Purple-gold Dao aura flowed around him, and the energy consumed by that palm strike was being rapidly replenished by the star power gathered by the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array beneath his feet.

His gaze was icy as he stared into the depths of the rift. His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a cold, sharp blade, scraping across the souls of every surviving demon:

"A swarm of ants, daring to invade our territory?" "Next."

These three simple words, however, carried boundless domineering power and killing intent, striking the hearts of all the cultivators in the allied forces like a war drum!

After a brief silence, a frenzied cheer erupted, like a landslide and a tsunami!

"The Mystic Lord is invincible!" "The Alliance Leader is divinely mighty!"

Morale surged to its peak at this moment!

Meanwhile, on the demonic side, after that terrifying silence and intimidation, came an even more frenzied and violent roar! More demonic tides, like an enraged swarm of bees, surged out from the cracks!
