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

A heavily armored Canglan Guard shouted, his voice hoarse.

"In two minutes, the array will shatter completely. There are over thirty monsters outside, some at the late seventh tier..."

Another Canglan Guard swallowed hard, his eyes filled with despair.

Luo Shui bit her lower lip tightly and remained silent.

Emotions churned within her chest.

The most core secret technique of the Hundred Rivers Kingdom, the Hundred Rivers Geomancy Technique, had actually led her to this desperate situation.

The Hundred Rivers Geomancy Technique is not a secret method for combat, but a unique art for deducing the flow of earth's veins and locating auspicious burial sites.

Upon entering this ancient ruin, Luo Shui activated this secret technique.

She saw that beneath this desolate plain, the earth's energy converged into a dragon shape, pointing directly into the depths of this chasm.

A great opportunity.

That was her judgment at the time.

Based on the geological formations, this place must contain top-tier natural treasures left behind by ancient powerful beings, or some kind of complete inheritance.

She encountered several teammates along the way, and following the guidance of the ley lines, she carefully avoided powerful enemies and ventured deeper into the land.

As a result, instead of finding the item, they stepped into the forbidden area of ​​the ancient ruins.

The moment the restriction was triggered, all the void monsters within a radius of hundreds of miles went berserk.

They abandoned their fighting and converged like a tide, trapping Luo Shui and the others at the edge of this trench.

If Luo Shui hadn't been carrying the "Sea Moon Mystic Light Shield," a life-saving treasure bestowed upon her by the Azure King, they would have been torn to shreds within the first ten seconds of the restriction being triggered.

This thing is an energy-storing defensive artifact.

Having accumulated energy outside, bringing it into this magic-free zone creates the most fortified fortress.

However, even the strongest fortress cannot withstand the continuous bombardment of countless void monsters.

"The energy of this array cannot be replenished."

Luo Shui looked at the faint light on the array plate, and her heart sank to the bottom.

There is no power of heaven and earth here.

"Your Highness, once the barrier breaks, we brothers will protect you and fight our way out! You possess the Water Dragon Body; as long as you can break through the encirclement, you'll have a chance to survive!"

The head of the Canglan Guards, his eyes bloodshot, gripped his spear tightly.

Luo Shui looked around at the dark mass of monsters, densely packed and layered upon each other.

The sky was obscured by bone spikes and ghostly fire, and even the already gray firmament could not be seen.

Charge out?

What to use?

Those thirty-odd late-stage seventh-tier void behemoths alone could crush them into mincemeat in three seconds.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Luo Shui took a deep breath, stood up, her light blue skirt fluttering in the strong wind.

"Since I brought you here, if you're going to die, you'll die together. Prepare for battle."

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out amidst the cacophony of impacts.

A deep crack appeared on the surface of the array plate.

Immediately afterwards, the inverted pale blue light screen in mid-air began to shake violently.

The light quickly dimmed, leaving only a semi-transparent protective shield that separated them from the void monsters outside.

Outside, on Blue Star, in the official live stream room of the Hundred Rivers Kingdom.

Hundreds of millions of citizens of the country stared at the screen, their hearts clenching.

"It's over..."

"The barrier is about to break! There are so many monsters! What about Prince Luo Shui and the others...?"

No one can save them.

The ruins were so vast that the geniuses from various countries were teleported to different regions.

The contestant closest to Luoshui was thousands of miles away.

"That's the future of our Hundred Rivers Kingdom!"

Online, there was a chorus of lamentations.

However, the style is completely different in the live broadcast room in China.

"Holy crap, the Baichuan Kingdom's team has been surrounded!"

"There must be at least several thousand of them, right?"

"Besides our Shen Shen, who can survive a beast tide of this scale? This is a complete dead end."

The scene shows Luo Shui and the others preparing to fight to the death.

boom--!

A muffled explosion came from the distant horizon.

Luo Shui suddenly turned his head and looked due south.

Outside the barrier, the void monsters that were frantically pounding on the door suddenly paused their movements for a brief moment.

Several enormous Void Apes even turned around and let out uneasy growls.

Something's coming.

The speed was beyond everyone's comprehension.

A white line appeared at the horizon.

That was a sonic boom cloud that stretched for tens of kilometers, formed by the terrifying kinetic energy tearing the air apart.

At the forefront of the sonic boom cloud was a golden fireball.

"What is that?"

The captain of the Canglan Guard widened his eyes and pointed to the air.

Before Luo Shui could answer.

The kinetic energy, traveling at ten times the speed of sound, carrying an overwhelming sense of destruction, crashed into the monster horde above the chasm.

Boom!

The purple-gold light, like a heavy meteorite falling from the sky, slammed into the densest horde of monsters on the outer edge of the barrier.

In that instant, time seemed to stretch out.

Luo Shui clearly saw that a Void Rift-toothed Lizard, which was eighty meters tall and at the late stage of the seventh rank, was crushed into dust in an instant by the impact, before it even had time to scream.

The enormous kinetic energy spreads outward in a ring shape.

The ground collapsed sharply downwards from the point of impact, creating a crater three hundred meters in diameter.

The shockwave materialized into a white wall of air, pushing it outwards.

boom! boom! boom!

Hundreds of void monsters were blown into the air by this shockwave.

Those low-level monsters of the sixth rank couldn't withstand the terrifying pressure even in mid-air, and their bodies exploded one after another.

click-

The already crumbling Sea Moon Mystic Light Shield finally exhausted its last bit of energy and shattered completely into countless blue light spots.

A violent gust of air rushed in, blowing Luo Shui and several Canglan Guards backward and causing them to fall to the ground.

The smoke and dust cleared.

In the center of the impact crater, there stands a person.

The Asura Holy Armor, its dark red color swirling.

The four-foot-long battle sword dragged on the ground, with black spatial cracks faintly appearing and disappearing at its blade.

Around him lay mangled corpses.

The originally dense, dark horde of beasts was cleared out by his impact, creating a large blank area.

Countless red dots of light, like swallows returning to their nests, floated up from the corpses of those monsters and surged wildly toward that figure.

The power of the world within Shen Tian's body began to boil as the red light surged in.

The smoke and dust rolled outwards like ocean waves, gradually thinning out.

In the center of this vacuum zone that had been forcibly created, that dark red figure stood silently.

Luo Shui supported herself on the ground with both hands and struggled to her feet.

The light blue palace dress was covered in mud.

The Canglan Guards behind her were even worse off; some couldn't even hold their weapons properly.

"Who...who is this?"

The captain of the Canglan Guard swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

"Such terrifying battlefield dominance..."

The Luo River murmured softly.

At Luo Shui's prompting, the captain of the Canglan Guard's pupils suddenly contracted.
