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

On the surface of the heart, countless scarlet eyeballs opened again.

This time, however, all the eyeballs merged together, transforming into a terrifying single eye that occupied half of the heart.

A pressure more than ten times more terrifying than before swept across the entire world.

The surrounding temperature dropped sharply.

The space itself creaked and groaned under the immense pressure.

Xiao Ting's eyes widened like copper bells.

"Holy crap?!"

He couldn't help but swear.

"They're still alive?"

"So the game designers have secretly manipulated the data again, haven't they?!"

"I clearly blew its core out!"

Luo Shui explained softly from the side.

"Lord Xiao Ting, what you just killed was merely a shell created by the nodes of the grand formation."

"As long as the bronze altar, which serves as the core of the formation, remains intact, it can be resurrected infinitely using the void energy of the ruins, and it will become stronger each time it is resurrected."

Luo Shui's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Xiao Ting's head.

"Infinite resurrection? Getting stronger the more you die?"

"What's the point of even fighting like this?!"

Xiao Ting felt a chill run down his spine.

That attack just now had drained most of his power of law.

If he were to go head-to-head with this one-eyed giant that has evolved to the ninth rank now, he probably wouldn't even be a match for it.

The one-eyed monster locked onto the three people at the edge of the pit.

Deep within the pupil, the destructive dark red death light began to compress rapidly.

The surrounding void was completely locked.

Xiao Ting instinctively gripped his battle halberd, and crimson-gold lightning flashed once more.

Even if we can't win, we can't just surrender.

Just as he was preparing to fight desperately.

A hand gently pressed on his shoulder.

"Alright."

"You've just broken through, your realm is unstable, go stand aside and catch your breath."

Shen Tian's voice remained calm and even, without a trace of emotion.

Xiao Ting paused for a moment, then turned his head.

Shen Tian had taken a step forward and stood in front of him without him noticing.

"Brother Shen..."

Although Xiao Ting had just broken through to the eighth level and comprehended the Divine Thunder Law, he was bursting with confidence.

But he's not stupid.

Shen Tian turned his head and glanced at Xiao Ting.

His eyes held a faint smile.

"You did a good job just now."

"It's good that you can break through your limits and comprehend the laws at the critical moment of life and death."

Shen Tian's voice was gentle.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ting instinctively straightened his back.

To receive praise from someone as eccentric as Shen Tian is a very prestigious honor.

Below, a flesh-and-blood heart, a kilometer in diameter, beats wildly.

The terrifying single eye, occupying half of the heart, stared intently at the three people above.

The dark red ray of destruction had been compressed to its limit deep within the pupil.

Even the surrounding light was distorted by that terrifying energy.

Shen Tian turned around and looked back at the bottom of the pit.

He stood with his hands behind his back, and his purplish-gold qi and blood flowed slowly across his body.

"Since you've broken through to the eighth rank today, that's certainly cause for celebration."

"As a celebration..."

Shen Tian paused, his tone as casual as if they were discussing what to eat for dinner.

"Then I'll also break through to the ninth rank to help you celebrate."

The sound wasn't loud, but it reached Xiao Ting and Luo Shui's ears clearly.

The air seemed to suddenly fall silent at that moment.

Xiao Ting's expression froze instantly.

He stared wide-eyed at Shen Tian's retreating figure as if he were looking at a monster.

It felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through my mind.

To liven things up?

Breakthrough to the ninth rank?!

Xiao Ting felt like his brain was about to crash.

What did Brother Shen just say?

What does "casually break through to the ninth rank" mean?

What does "adding to the fun" mean?

Breaking through to the ninth level, something that is like an insurmountable chasm for countless martial artists, is described by Shen Tian as as casually as buying a scallion at the market.

That's a ninth-tier item!

It's the pinnacle of the Blue Star martial arts system!

"Brother Shen, you...you're not kidding, are you?"

Xiao Ting asked, stammering.

Luo Shui, standing to the side, also covered her red lips, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

Just as the two were in utter shock.

The ninth-tier monster below finally launched its attack.

"roar--!"

It was accompanied by a deafening roar.

The enormous flesh and blood heart suddenly contracted.

Within the single eye, the dark red, destructive death ray, compressed to its extreme, erupted with a deafening roar.

The beam of light was over 100 meters in diameter!

Carrying the void rules that annihilate everything, it soared straight into the sky.

Wherever it passed, space shattered like glass, turning into pitch-black nothingness.

The dark red ray of destruction ripped through space and shot straight into the sky.

Xiao Ting stood at the edge of the pit, his pupils filled with the glaring dark red.

A tingling sensation ran down my spine and up to the top of my head.

He instinctively gripped the halberd in his hand, and crimson-gold divine lightning leaped wildly across his body.

A dark red battle blade appeared out of thin air in Shen Tian's palm.

The moment he gripped the knife, Shen Tian's previously restrained aura suddenly erupted.

The purplish-gold blood energy emanated from his body, but instead of spreading outwards, it all poured back into the four-foot-long blade.

The pitch-black chains of laws coiled around it like snakes.

"The Great Thousand People's Funeral".

Shen Tian raised one arm.

A thin, dark red blade of light detached from the edge.

It swelled in the wind and, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a crescent-shaped arc of light ten thousand meters long, slicing down horizontally.

The moment the arc of light appeared, the surrounding gravity was instantly reversed.

Above that dark red blade of light, a vast and boundless alternate dimension was faintly projected.

The sky was ablaze with extreme tribulation flames, while below, a black and golden sea of ​​darkness churned, and countless weapons were thrust into the earth like mountains.

The illusory realm spanning two million kilometers, attached to the thin blade of light, descended with a thunderous roar.

Click!

The dark red beam of light, a hundred meters thick, was cleaved in two by the ten-thousand-meter-long blade of light, dissipating to both sides and turning into countless harmless red light spots.

The massive, thousand-meter-long flesh and blood heart at the bottom of the pit emitted a sharp shriek, and the single eye occupying half of its body exuded pure terror.

It throbbed wildly, urging the altar to pull out thousands of void chains as thick as water vats from the ground, attempting to block upwards.

boom! boom! boom!

The blade's edge pressed down.

Those seemingly indestructible void chains crumbled into countless black specks of light the moment they were touched.

A 10,000-meter arc of light pierced the top of the fleshy heart.

The cut continued until it reached the top of the massive bronze altar at the bottom before abruptly stopping.

After a brief pause, the black and red destructive lightning attached to the edge of the blade's edge erupted.

Billions of plasmas, like countless wildly dancing pythons, surged madly into the monster's heart.

All the cellular void matter was strangled.

Then, an even more terrifying scene unfolded.

The dark red blade of light that had been cut off suddenly expanded, and the phantom of the small world it carried burst open, transforming into a gigantic maw of abyss constructed from the rules of the world.

A black hole-like gravitational pull suddenly descended.

Whoosh whoosh!

The minced meat and energy were like dust being swept into a tornado, sucked back into that illusory realm, and plunged straight into that churning black-gold sea of ​​darkness.

A crystal radiating a deep, dark red light was peeled off from the deepest part of the heart.

That was the origin crystal core of a ninth-order void life form.

The crystal core trembled violently, attempting to tear through space and escape.

But the power of the world was like a giant, all-encompassing hand, gripping it tightly and forcibly dragging it into the depths of the black hole.
