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

"Buzz—!"

In the real world, on the core star of the Zhou Tian Star Array, Lin Xuan's body was surrounded by a purple-gold Dao aura that shone like a burning star, radiating boundless light! He raised his hands, his ten fingers plucking the strings of a cosmic harp, and countless more complex and profound purple-gold runes poured out like a waterfall, merging into the stars beneath his feet and the array's veins around him.

"Star power converges, barriers are rebuilt!"

As his deep and majestic Dao voice rang out, the barrier, whose starlight had been dimmed and cracks revealed by the Heavenly Demon Lord's attack, suddenly erupted with unprecedented brilliance! It was as if countless miniature stars were being lit up and connected inside the barrier! The power of stars from more distant star fields was forcibly drawn in, like silver divine metal, and injected into the cracks.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

The spiderweb-like cracks on the barrier were repaired and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye! Not only was the entire starlight barrier restored to its original state, but its thickness and solidity seemed to be even greater than before! The vast, eternal, and orderly stellar Dao rhythm spread outward like a tide, once again forcing back the approaching demonic energy.

Just as the Demon Lord was preparing to launch a second attack, a flicker of astonishment and rage flashed in its blood-red vertical pupils. It sensed that the annoying "turtle shell" in front of it seemed to have become even harder.

"Ants! Struggling in their death throes!"

It let out a roar that shattered the starry sky, its wings flapped violently, and its enormous body, carrying the momentum to crush stars, crashed directly into the starlight barrier! At the same time, its giant maw opened again, and the dark singularity, capable of swallowing light, began to condense at an even faster speed!

The ultimate clash of the real worlds is about to erupt!

However, what was driving Lin Xuan's actions at this moment was more of an "inertia" based on immense computing power and the instinct of the Great Dao. More than 70% of his consciousness had already crossed endless time and space along the bridge of faith, like a bursting dam of a galaxy, and poured into the near-limit projection of the Ancient Wilderness Realm!

Ancient Wilderness Realm, Rock Tribe.

Just as the three Nascent Soul experts were about to order a final assault, and the pale golden light shield of faith was teetering on the brink of collapse—

Above the altar, Lin Xuan's previously somewhat illusory projection suddenly solidified! The lively light that originally belonged to the projection in his eyes instantly faded away, replaced by a divine light as vast and cold as the ancient starry sky, containing the supreme will of a sovereign!

Original consciousness, descend!

"Buzz!"

A terrifying pressure, far more powerful and refined than before, carrying the Daoist essence of the extinction of stars in the real world, suddenly erupted from the center of the projected Dharma body!

The pale golden light shield of faith, which was originally on the verge of collapse, was instantly stabilized as if it had been infused with immortal divinity. Its light shone brightly and expanded outward for dozens of miles, enveloping the entire tribe and the important surrounding areas! On the light shield, even subtle star shadows and purple-gold power patterns began to flow!

This sudden turn of events caused a momentary commotion among the allied forces of gods and demons in the sky. The Fire Lizard King, the Shadow Demon Leader, and the Hill Giant King all changed their expressions slightly. From the suddenly "awakened" projection, they sensed a completely different, dangerous aura that made their very souls tremble!

"Playing tricks! Attack together and crush him!" The Fire Lizard King, with its most violent temper, was suspicious but took the initiative to attack, relying on its superior strength! It raised its giant lava axe high, and white flames shot into the sky, transforming into a huge fire blade that tore through the heavens and earth, slashing fiercely down at the light shield of faith below! Wherever it passed, space was scorched and distorted!

Almost simultaneously, the Shadow Demon leader swayed, as if merging into the shadows. In the next instant, countless pitch-black shadow spears, imbued with corrosive and cursed power, silently pierced the light shield from all directions, targeting the nodes where its energy flowed!

The Hill Giant King let out a deep roar, and his massive stone hammer, carrying terrifying force capable of shattering mountains and splitting the earth, smashed into the very center of the light barrier!

The combined attack of three mid-stage Nascent Soul experts was powerful enough to instantly vaporize thousands of miles of mountains and rivers!

Faced with this devastating attack, the tribespeople inside the faith shield closed their eyes in despair.

However, the projection of Lin Xuan inside the light shield simply raised his right hand slowly.

He didn't look at the three attacks, but instead pointed his palm at the altar below and the hundreds of tribesmen kneeling in prayer.

"Faith...burns."

He drew upon the purest and most abundant power of faith from the Rock Tribe and from those oppressed races watching from afar! This power was far more fervent and steadfast than the faith offered by the Dao Xuan Sect in the real world!

Golden flames of faith rose in his palm, and then he slammed them into the altar beneath his feet with an arcane trajectory!

"Zhou Tian... Star Power, heed my command! Though separated by countless realms, our Daoist principles are interconnected!"

He actually used the power of faith from the Desolate Ancient Realm as a guide and his own understanding of the Zhou Tian Star Array as the core to forcibly simulate and induce a trace of the power of star extinction from the real universe in this realm!

Although it is far less than one ten-millionth of a true grand formation, the Daoist principles of "order" restraining "chaos" and "annihilation" restraining "existence" contained within it are real and true!

In an instant, a miniature Starry Night Halo, composed of countless starlight points and Dao patterns of annihilation, suddenly spread out from the altar!

Wherever the halo passed, the Fire Lizard King's white fire blade, capable of evaporating rivers, dimmed and extinguished as if encountering ancient ice; the Shadow Demon Leader's all-pervasive shadow spear, illuminated by starlight, melted like ice and snow, emitting a mournful shriek before dissipating; the Hill Giant King's earth-shattering stone hammer, when it struck the halo, seemed to sink into an invisible quagmire, its violent power being broken down and annihilated layer by layer, ultimately only causing the halo to ripple slightly before it could advance no further!

The combined attack of the three powerful figures was effortlessly neutralized by this seemingly weak aura!

"What?!"

"That's impossible!"

The Salamander King and the Hill Giant King roared in disbelief at the same time, and the Shadow Demon Leader emerged from the shadows with a blurry figure, his eyes filled with horror.

They couldn't understand how the other party, which was clearly just a projection, could unleash such extraordinary and powerful abilities that overwhelmed their own power.

Lin Xuan's projection slowly raised its head, its eyes, imbued with the will of the original body, coldly sweeping over the three powerful figures in the sky, as well as the allied forces that blotted out the sun.

His voice, as if emanating from the ancient starry sky, carried an undeniable majesty and killing intent, resounding deep within the souls of every member of the God-Demon Alliance:

"Those who violate our borders..." "Die."

In the real world, the Dark Singularity and colossal demonic body of the Heavenly Demon Lord are about to collide with the repaired Starlight Barrier. In the Desolate Ancient Realm, Lin Xuan's projection voluntarily steps out of the Faith Shield, facing countless gods and demons alone.

The two battlefields have simultaneously entered their most brutal and decisive moments!
