If I let you practice martial arts, you'll compress your vital energy ten thousand times?

Lin Yuan's voice slowly echoed throughout the half-domain.

not tall.

But it caused the entire space to suddenly sink.

Yan Xiao laughed.

Nine black locks trembled violently behind him, and the nine black doors, layered upon each other, all pointed towards the tenement building where Lin Xiaoya was located.

"Blood face".

"You are very strong."

"It's stronger than I expected."

"Unfortunately, I never intended to kill you in the first place."

He raised his hand.

The black token in his palm suddenly emitted a burst of dark blue light.

"I want it."

"Only those who are pure in nature."

boom--!

All nine locks snapped shut at the same time!

Inside the tenement building.

Suddenly, circles of dark blue door patterns appeared on the ground beneath Lin Xiaoya's feet.

First level.

second weight.

The third level.

All the way up to the ninth level.

Nine layers of gate patterns overlapped, like a gate to an abyss about to open, enveloping her entirely in the center.

Lin Xiaoya kept her eyes closed.

But she could sense it.

My feet are cold.

It was as if a door was slowly opening beneath her feet.

She heard a lot of noise coming from behind the door.

Some people were calling her name.

Some were crying.

Some were laughing.

And there was an ancient and cold voice repeating itself over and over:

"Those who are pure in their ways."

"Return to the gate."

Lin Xiaoya's face turned pale.

The red lotus fire pattern on his forehead flickered intensely.

The blood and qi imprint that Lin Yuan left on her body is desperately resisting the Ninefold Clean Gate Lock.

This time, however, Yan Xiao burned his peak Commander Realm core.

Nine layers of locks are stacked.

Reality, dreams, and the gate are all locked simultaneously.

This is not an ordinary arrest.

This is the Black Gate's true method of seizing the gate.

outside world.

Su Qinghan's eyes instantly reddened when she saw the door pattern under Lin Xiaoya's feet light up.

"Xiaoya!"

She rushed towards the barrier without hesitation.

boom!

The azure gate forcefully sent her flying.

Su Qinghan crashed to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, but she forced herself to get up.

Luo Xingshuang slashed at the nine-layered lock with her sword again.

A silver sword flashed across the night sky.

But as soon as it touched the door pattern, it was dispersed and swallowed up by the nine black doors.

Luo Xingshuang's face turned pale.

"I can't break through..."

"This is the door opened by the Commander's peak core ignition!"

Within the Sealed Shadow Gate Formation.

The crimson lotus fire patterns on Blood Shadow's body burned wildly.

It pounded the chains again and again.

The Shadow Gate Formation was originally prepared for it.

Each time it struggles, the seven array eyes light up simultaneously, pressing it back to its original position.

Yan Xiao watched this scene, his smile growing wider and wider.

"Did you see that?"

"Your clone is trapped."

"Foreign players can't get in."

"Your fist is separated by nine layers of locks."

"You can't protect her."

He slowly lowered his head and looked at Lin Yuan.

"Body cultivators who have not yet formed a domain."

"In the end, he's just a barbarian."

Lin Yuan stood in the center of the half-gate domain.

The crimson flames burned wildly on the eight-armed, dark golden body.

The illusory image of Brahma, hundreds of feet tall, overlooks the heavens and earth.

But the cracks on his blood-red mask were becoming more and more numerous.

During the fierce battle with Yan Xiao, the eighth layer of locks struck the mask, causing cracks to appear on the blood-stained surface.

At this moment, the Ninefold Clean Gate Lock was fully activated, and all the pressure from the Half Gate Domain was tilted towards it.

The mask finally gave way.

Click.

A crack spread out from the red lotus fire pattern on the forehead.

Yan Xiao narrowed his eyes.

And in the shadows in the distance.

Gu Changye also stared intently at the blood-stained face.

He is waiting.

Wait until the last layer of disguise collapses.

Inside the tenement building.

The door at Lin Xiaoya's feet finally opened a crack.

A pale blue light shone through the crack in the door.

Her body began to slowly sink.

The red lotus fire pattern on the forehead flickers intermittently.

Lin Xiaoya bit her lip.

She didn't cry.

There was no shouting.

I just remembered what Lin Yuan had once said.

If you dream of a black door, call out to it.

He could hear her when she called.

So, with all her might, she whispered:

"elder brother……"

The sound was very soft.

It was so quiet that even people outside the room couldn't hear it.

But it landed on the blood and qi mark left by Lin Yuan.

Instantly piercing through reality, dreams, and realms.

It fell into the depths of Lin Yuan's consciousness.

In the center of the half-gate domain.

Lin Yuan suddenly stopped.

next moment.

He slowly raised his head.

Beneath the blood-red surface, those eyes were as cold as ancient, frozen iron.

Yan Xiao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

System notifications also exploded at that moment.

[Detected energy escaping from the peak Commander's Domain]

[In the process of removing contaminants and impurities from the abyss]

[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]

[Current number of physical compressions of Qi and Blood: 499700]

[Current number of physical compressions of Qi and Blood: 499900]

[Current number of physical compressions of Qi and Blood: 500000]

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host! You have surpassed 500,000 physical compressions of your Qi and Blood!]

boom--!

This moment.

Inside Lin Yuan's body, something extremely heavy seemed to have completely taken shape.

It's not the outward release of qi and blood.

Rather, it is his physical mass that, after being compressed to a certain limit, begins to influence the surrounding rules in reverse.

Centered around him.

Within a 30-meter radius.

All the dark blue door shadows froze simultaneously.

The nine-layered lock, which was spinning, seemed to be held down by an invisible giant hand.

The purification door that was about to open beneath Lin Xiaoya's feet suddenly stopped.

The eerie blue light was forcefully pushed back to the ground.

The system prompts continued to appear.

[Reward Unlocked: Forbidden Zone of the Extreme Path]

[The host has begun to form the prototype of a "humanoid forbidden zone"]

Within the forbidden zone, all true energy, pollution, spatial fluctuations, and life force are suppressed by the host's physical body quality.

[Current initial restricted area range: 30 meters]

[Maximum burst range: 100 meters]

[Note: The Extreme Path Forbidden Domain can interact with the Extreme Path Blood Shadow]

Yan Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted.

"domain?"

"impossible!"

"You're just a body cultivator!"

"How could you possibly become a domain?"

Lin Yuan did not answer.

He simply took a step forward.

boom!

The thirty-meter forbidden zone expanded with a roar!

The nine-layered lock that was originally pressing down on Lin Xiaoya shattered inch by inch.

The first door shattered.

The second door shattered.

The third door shattered.

All the way up to the ninth level.

All the door patterns were pressed back to the ground!

Lin Xiaoya felt a lightness in her body.

The force that was dragging her down into the door vanished instantly.

She still had her eyes closed, but she felt a familiar large hand, as if it were far away, gently pressing on the top of her head.

Lin Yuan's voice seemed to ring in her ears.

"Don't be afraid."

"Brother's here."

Lin Xiaoya's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Tears finally fell.

"Um……"

Above the Half Gate Domain.

Yan Xiao wanted to back out.

This was the first time he had considered quitting.

But when he raised his hand to open the black door, he found that the door patterns behind him did not move at all.

The door won't open.

His nine locks seemed to be infused with an immense weight.

Each one was so heavy that it could not be lifted.

Lin Yuan looked up at him.

The blood-stained surface was mostly shattered.

The side of his face that was exposed was illuminated by the red lotus flames, making him appear as cold and godlike.

"In my restricted area."

"Who gave you permission to open the door?"

Yan Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.

"impossible……"

"The sect leader clearly said you haven't yet achieved the Domain Realm..."

Lin Yuan took a step forward.

The forbidden domain pressed down once more.

The nine black doors surrounding Yan Xiao suddenly twisted and contorted.

Click.

The first door shattered.

Then came the second door.

The third door.

The ninth door!

All the black doors were crushed at the same time!

Within the Sealed Shadow Gate Formation.

The dark golden light on Blood Shadow's body surged.

The linkage of the Extreme Forbidden Domain has descended upon it.

The seven shadow locks on the door trembled violently.

The Blood Shadow Clone slowly raised its head.

A low, husky voice sounded:

"The original body has spoken."

"This is a restricted area."

boom!

Blood Shadow landed a punch.

All seven Shadow Locks shattered simultaneously!

Yan Xiao finally revealed his fear.

He turned to run away.

But Lin Yuan was already in front of him.

The third-stage, world-ending Brahma body is still burning.

The illusory image of Brahma, hundreds of feet tall, looked down.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire burned half of the domain.

The forbidden zone of the extreme path has sealed off all escape routes.

Lin Yuan moved all eight arms at once.

The Great Desolate Annihilation Fist, under the blessing of the forbidden domain, is no longer just a single point of collapse.

Instead, the entire half-domain collapsed towards the fist!

Yan Xiao roared:

"The sect leader will remember you!"

Lin Yuan's voice was icy.

"Let him come."

boom--!!!!!!

The punch landed.

Yan Xiao's peak command body collapsed instantly.

Nine black door locks shattered inch by inch.

The dark red robe turned to ashes.

The two small, dark blue doors in his eyes were also crushed under the suppression of the Extreme Dao Forbidden Domain.

"No--"

"Humanoid forbidden zone..."

"You have already..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Yan Xiao was completely shattered.

A disciple at the peak of the Commander Realm.

The seventh disciple, Yan Xiao.

Fallen!

System notifications kept popping up.

[Remnants of the peak Commander Realm core detected]

[Nine layers of door lock detected]

[In the process of removing contaminants and impurities from the abyss]

[Extracting compressible energy]

[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]

[Current number of physical compressions of Qi and Blood: 520000]

[Current number of physical compressions of Qi and Blood: 535000]

[Current number of physical compressions of Qi and Blood: 550000]

Half of the domain began to collapse.

All nine black gates in the sky shattered.

The eerie blue barrier that had enveloped the civilian district began to dissipate layer by layer.

outside world.

Su Qinghan stared blankly at the disappearing door patterns beneath Lin Xiaoya's feet, then knelt on the ground as if all her strength had left her.

Luo Xingshuang gripped her sword, remaining silent for a long time.

She felt a power she had never felt before.

It's not a fist.

It's not the outward release of qi and blood.

Rather, it is a form of absolute regional suppression.

It was as if that area was no longer part of the Black Gate's domain.

It is a forbidden zone for those who have blood before them.

Gu Changye stood in the shadows, his eyes shining terrifyingly.

"domain……"

"He has become a domain."

But the next moment, his gaze fell on Lin Yuan's face.

Because of the blood, it shattered completely.

Click.

The last piece of the blood-red mask slid off Lin Yuan's face.

Under the glow of the Red Lotus Flame, a young, indifferent, and familiar face was revealed.

For the first time, Gu Changye's breathing stopped.

He saw it.

He finally saw it.

Right at this moment.

The system notification reappeared before Lin Yuan's eyes.

[The host has been detected to have exceeded 500,000 physical compressions of Qi and Blood.]

[The Forbidden Zone of Extreme Paths has been unlocked]

[Next qualitative leap: 600,000 compressions]

[600,000 reward announcements are being generated...]

[Reward Name: Ultimate Star Furnace]

[Note: The first physical star furnace will condense within the host's body.]

The Star Furnace can absorb and refine Star Gate source energy, store excess blood and qi, and stabilize the Extreme Dao Forbidden Domain.

The Star Furnace can provide remote power to the Extreme Blood Shadow.

[Note: The Ultimate Star Furnace requires contact with a higher-level star gate energy source to complete its final activation.]

[Current unlock progress: 550000 / 600000]

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the four characters "Extreme Dao Star Furnace".

Stargate Energy.

According to the information he obtained.

Longyuan City has Star Gate Source Energy.

It seems we have the resources for the next step.

The half-gate domain completely collapsed.

The illusory image of the World-Destroying Brahma behind Lin Yuan slowly dissipated.

The red lotus fire returns to the fluid.

He was just about to re-coagulate the blood surface.

Suddenly, a crisp clapping sound came from the darkness.

Snapped.

Snapped.

Snapped.

Gu Changye slowly emerged from the shadows.

His face was pale.

His eyes shone as if he had seen the most precious truth in the world.

He looked at Lin Yuan and chuckled softly:

"really."

"You are him."
