I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

The ravaged continent hovers outside the atmosphere of the blue planet, its size as large as a star.

On the ruins of the Tianyou Mine, the originally scorching temperature suddenly dropped.

The magma lake, now devoid of heat, was shrouded in shadow, and its surface rapidly solidified, forming patches of dark brown, cracked rock.

On the edge of the continent, a hazy halo of light flowed slowly like ripples on water.

Inside the halo, hundreds of millions of translucent fine lines are shuttling at high speed.

These fine lines intertwine and interlock, forming a naturally formed barrier.

As time went by, that power of rules, which transcended the laws themselves, became increasingly intense.

A tangible pressure poured down from the sky, completely sealing off the spatial structure within a radius of 100,000 miles.

With the reinforcement of the power of the rules, the shattered space quickly healed itself.

The space that had been shattered by the battle has been restored to its original state.

Ouyang Qianjue looked up at the sky, his aged face filled with shock.

"I told you before that a great fortune will befall Earth."

He turned his gaze away and looked at Shen Tian beside him.

"I originally estimated that this opportunity would take at least several more years."

The old man stretched out his hand, pointing to the sky, to the enormous void and the shattered continent above.

"It was a twist of fate. You awakened the ancient will that had been dormant inside the Bronze Palace, while Brahma activated the core essence of the Eye of Heaven. These two artifacts, which are connected to the ancient era, collided."

Ouyang Qianjue exhaled a long breath, and the polarized sword energy around him receded into his body.

"The collision of these two fundamental forces awakened the remaining power of the rules. If I'm not mistaken, this power of the rules formed a coordinate, and this broken continent, which was originally adrift in the depths of the universe, descended ahead of schedule following this coordinate."

Shen Tian looked straight ahead, his gaze fixed on the hazy halo of light.

"Brahma has entered, and this barrier is repelling external interference."

"He was lucky; he just happened to slip through a loophole before the rules of the mainland were fully established. Why don't you try it again now?"

Ouyang Qianjue shook his head, his simple clothes fluttering in the cold wind.

"This barrier is a rule-level power that transcends the laws themselves. Let alone you being at the eighth rank, any powerful being on this Blue Star would be powerless against it."

Shen Tian did not respond. The intermediate plane spanning 600,000 miles slowly rotated within his body, and eighteen halos of law light disappeared into the Asura Saint Armor.

He could sense that the aura emanating from that continent high in the sky was not only vast, but also pure.

It is several levels higher than the laws of the late stage of the ninth rank.

Although Brahma escaped with his life, this score was not settled.

High in the sky, the gray halo began to slow its swirling motion.

The hundreds of millions of high-speed shuttle threads gradually stopped moving, and they connected end to end.

The restoration of the power of the rules is gradually coming to an end.

With the arrival of the shattered continent, its immense mass and the fluctuations in its rules were like a bomb dropped into deep waters.

All forces across the entire planet were thrown into a tremendous shock at this moment.

Far to the east of Earth, spanning more than a dozen time zones.

This is a very special place within the human race's territory, the Kingdom of Hundred Rivers.

As its name suggests, this land is crisscrossed by hundreds of vast rivers, some hundreds of kilometers wide.

The vast water system nourishes this fertile land and has also given birth to an extremely prosperous martial arts civilization.

At this moment, on the highest peak of Baichuan Kingdom, Canglan Snow Mountain, with an altitude of over 20,000 meters.

Pulled by the gravitational pull of that broken continent in distant space, astonishing geological phenomena occurred within the territory of Baichuan Kingdom.

The waters of hundreds of mighty rivers defied the laws of gravity, cascading upwards and converging in mid-air to form a suspended celestial river covering an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

Sunlight refracted on the surface of the Milky Way, creating a spectacle resembling a mirage.

King Canglan stood on the white jade star-gazing platform atop the snow-capped mountain.

He was tall.

His eyes were an unusual deep blue, as if two unfathomable rivers of the underworld flowed within them.

As the supreme ruler of Baichuan Kingdom, he is a top expert at the late stage of the ninth rank.

The aura of the Canglan King is closely connected with the hundreds of rivers on this land beneath his feet.

"What terrifying power."

"Far beyond the laws."

King Canglan looked up and gazed into the void. Although the shadow of that broken continent was far away, the oppressive power of its rules, which transcended the Blue Star system, shocked his mind.

Two ripples appeared in the space around King Canglan.

Two men clad in silver armor stepped out of the void, standing on the left and right respectively.

They are two generals who protect the nation of Baichuan, both at the mid-stage of the ninth rank.

"Your Majesty, what is that in the sky...?"

The general on the left knelt on one knee, his expression one of horror.

The sheer power of the residual energy emanating from just half a planet was enough to suppress a mid-stage ninth-order law.

King Canglan stood with his hands behind his back, his azure eyes flashing with fervor.

The voice of the Canglan King was as cold as a frozen spring, echoing atop the snow-capped mountain.

"What surrounds that continent is the power of rules."

He raised his hand, and a rapidly spinning blue water sphere appeared in his palm.

Inside the water sphere, the laws of water are constructing microscopic rivers, lakes, and seas, but due to interference from the force in the sky, the chains of laws on the surface of the water sphere are in a constant state of breaking and rebuilding.

"The laws we cultivate merely borrow the power of this world. And there is a self-contained system of operating rules on it. It is a giant secret realm left over from ancient times, or rather, the remnants of a fallen superior world."

King Canglan clenched his five fingers and crushed the water sphere.

His intuition, honed at the late stage of the ninth rank, allowed him to keenly perceive the information conveyed by this barrier.

"Your Majesty, with such a great fortune bestowed upon the world, foreign races will surely pounce on us like wild beasts smelling blood."

The silver-armored general on the right said in a deep voice.

King Canglan sneered.

"It's no use rushing in. Earth has its limits. Although this continent forced its way in, it has its own inherent rules and barriers."

King Canglan turned around and looked down at the vast capital city that stretched for thousands of kilometers.

"To enter, one must gain the approval of those rules."

"Legacy, destiny. It's never a windfall; it's a trial ground that you have to pay with your life."

The King of Canglan's voice suddenly rose in pitch, like rolling thunder.

"Convey my decree!"

The two mid-stage ninth-tier generals bowed their heads in unison.

"Summon all top geniuses under the age of thirty within the Hundred Rivers Kingdom who have reached the sixth level or above in cultivation to assemble at the Canglan Academy."

"Tell these kids that the heavens of Earth have changed."

The gray outline of the distant horizon was reflected in the eyes of the Canglan King.

"If we want to survive in the coming eras, if we want to lead the Hundred Rivers Kingdom to stand firm in this catastrophe, the Hundred Rivers Kingdom must take a big bite out of this piece of meat that fell from the sky!"

At the same time.

The far north of Earth.

Along the glacial rift valleys stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers, wind and snow howl.

The temperature remains at tens of degrees below zero year-round, and even the water vapor in the air condenses into tiny ice crystals.

This is the border defense line of the Northern Cold Kingdom, and also a forbidden zone for life.

A giant of ice, standing seventy meters tall, like a moving mountain, raced across the snowfield.

With each step it takes, its massive body, weighing tens of thousands of tons, causes the ice layer within a radius of several kilometers to tremble violently, and spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards.

Its opponent is Tuoba Lie, the top genius of the Northern Cold Kingdom.

He was shirtless, his strong muscles exposed to the frigid wind.

boom!

The ice giant swung a thick ice pillar made of solidified ice, creating a piercing sonic boom, and slammed it down on Tuoba Lie's head.

The air within a radius of 100 meters was forcibly emptied by this strange force, creating a brief vacuum zone.

Tuoba Lie neither dodged nor avoided.

He slightly bent his knees, and the ice beneath his feet was instantly covered with cracks hundreds of meters deep.

Immediately afterwards, he shot into the sky like a cannonball, heading straight for the ice pillar that was more than ten meters in diameter.

His vital energy was like a tangible flame, burning fiercely on his body, instantly evaporating the surrounding snowflakes into white mist.

boom!

Tuoba Lie gripped the falling ice pillar with his hands in a claw-like shape.

The terrifying recoil force traveled down his arm, and the ice field below him could not withstand the pressure, collapsing into a giant crater with a diameter of three hundred meters.

Ice shards flew everywhere, shooting outwards like a torrential rain.

His eyes were wide open, and a fierce glint emanated from his dark blue pupils. (No)

Tuoba Lie roared, his arm muscles bulging high, and he withstood the blow that could split mountains and shatter rocks.

Immediately afterwards, he exerted force with both hands, his five fingers piercing deeply into the indestructible ice.

click-

The massive ice pillar, over ten meters thick, was snapped in two on the spot in his hands.

The ice giant let out a deafening roar, its massive body suddenly tilting forward, opening its gaping maw—large enough to swallow several main battle tanks—in an attempt to devour the human alive.

Tuoba Lie transformed into a dark blue lightning bolt and crashed directly into the arms of the ice giant.

He gripped the thick ice armor on both sides of the giant's chest tightly with both hands.

He unleashed his cultivation at the early stage of the seventh rank without reservation.

The ice giant, which was said to be invincible in defense within the seventh rank, was torn in two by Tuoba Lie's bare hands, starting from its chest.

Hot, azure blood cascaded down like a waterfall, staining a vast expanse of snow-white ice plains crimson.

The huge, steaming entrails crashed onto the ice, melting and creating craters of all sizes.

Tuoba Lie stood in the pool of blood, panting heavily.

The strong smell of blood stimulated his nerves, and he thoroughly enjoyed the exhilarating feeling of killing.

A sudden change occurred.

The originally gray-white polar day sky was forcibly covered by a huge shadow.

The blizzard abruptly stopped in mid-air, as if some great force had solidified the entire space of the far north.

Tuoba Lie raised his head.

He saw the hazy halo hovering outside the atmosphere of Blue Star, and behind the halo lay a vast, desolate continent.

thump...

thump...

An ancient, desolate war drumbeat, across vast distances of time and space, faintly reached his ears.

Tuoba Lie was stunned.

He felt his blood boiling!
