My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl hangs in the void, with thirty-six dark blue beads rotating. With each rotation, an invisible ripple spreads out, completely sealing off the space within a thousand miles.

In addition to the blockade, it also carries a kind of suppression at the level of laws!

It was as if an invisible hand had singled this area out of the universe and pressed it under its palm.

Dugu Zui stood at the center of the blockade, his body surrounded by surging crimson mist, attempting to break through the suppression of the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl.

His Heaven-Slaying Blade slashed repeatedly, its crimson blade light cascading out like a waterfall, striking the surrounding void as if cutting into a ball of cotton...

The blade's edge was gradually dissipated by the invisible suppressive force, weakening as it advanced, and finally vanished completely a few dozen feet from the boundary of the blockade.

His face was extremely pale!

"Damn it... what the hell is this thing?"

Dugu Zui gritted his teeth, his heart filled with both anxiety and rage!

He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, experienced countless battles, and seen all kinds of imperial weapons, but he had never seen such a bizarre treasure.

Individually, each of these thirty-six beads is merely an ordinary innate imperial weapon, not even qualifying as "top-grade"...

However, once they are gathered together, they can unleash power comparable to a Great Dao Emperor Weapon, and they also contain an extremely rare "suppression" attribute!

Suppression-type imperial weapons are extremely rare throughout the entire universe.

These thirty-six beads can also work together to form an array, stacking the suppression effect to a level sufficient to suppress even an Immortal Venerable!

Dugu Zui felt increasingly frustrated the more he fought!

His killing laws are powerful enough under normal circumstances to tear apart the void and annihilate all life!

However, under the suppression of these thirty-six beads, his laws became stagnant, his magic power flowed slowly, and his speed was suppressed by nearly half.

His explosive power and mobility, which he was once so proud of, were now all diminished.

What made him even more upset was that Meng Chuan didn't give him a chance to breathe at all!

That jet-black spear, with each thrust, carried the ultimate power of the Law of Force, combined with the killing law of the God-Slaying Spear itself, creating a savage and deadly sense of oppression.

Most importantly, his knife was pressed down too hard by the gun!

Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such a passive position.

Dugu Zui fought back with all his might, and each collision made his arm go numb and his blood surge!

He tried to create distance, but the suppression range of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was too large, and his speed was suppressed, so he couldn't shake off Meng Chuan's pursuit at all.

He tried to concentrate his strength to break through the blockade, but the array composed of those thirty-six beads was so solid that it was hopeless!

He unleashed a powerful blow on the blockade border, creating only a ripple before nothing more happened.

He tried again to threaten Meng Chuan with words, attempting to intimidate him with the title of Domain Lord, but the other party was not swayed by it at all.

"No...this can't go on!"

Dugu Zui was extremely anxious!

He could feel his magical power rapidly depleting...

If this continues, once his magical power is exhausted, only death awaits him!

He has to find a way to break through this damn blockade!

Dugu Zui took a deep breath, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

He suddenly sheathed his sword, abandoned his attack, and instead poured all his strength into defense.

The blade of the Heaven-Slaying Blade shone with intense crimson light, condensing into a thick, blood-red shield in front of him, which withstood Meng Chuan's spear.

Using the recoil from the shot, he slid backward several miles, widening the distance between himself and Meng Chuan.

Then, he gripped the blade with both hands and raised the Heaven-Slaying Blade high.

The crimson light on the blade began to surge violently, as if something was trying to break free from within the blade.

The faces of the dead wrapped around the blade became even more ferocious, emitting silent roars and a nauseating stench.

Dugu Zui began to chant an ancient and obscure incantation.

The spell's syllables were extremely difficult to pronounce; each word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of the throat, carrying a tremor that felt as if it could tear the soul apart.

As the incantation was chanted, the aura around him began to surge in an unstable manner...

Blood-red lines appeared on his skin, as if something was surging wildly inside him. His eyes also turned blood red, and it seemed as if blood was flowing in his pupils.

"Soul-Burning Secret Technique: Sacrifice!"

Dugu Zui suddenly opened his eyes, blood spurting from them!

His aura surged by 30% in that instant!

This was a trump card he had accumulated over many years of using killing to prove his Dao—a life-saving trump card.

He burned the souls of the living beings he had slain in exchange for a brief burst of combat power!

This move has serious side effects; at best, it could cause a decline in cultivation level, and at worst, it could damage one's foundation. But at this moment, he couldn't care less about that!

"Break it—!!"

Dugu Zui roared, gripped his sword with both hands, and slashed fiercely at the sealing boundary of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl!

This strike embodies all the power he gained by burning his soul!

The crimson blade light drew a thousand-foot-long arc in the void. Wherever the blade light passed, the void was torn apart like cloth, revealing a pitch-black crack.

The spatial turbulence surging from the crack, with its violent suction force, swallowed up the surrounding starlight.

The blade's edge slashed fiercely at the sealing boundary of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl—

boom--!!

A deafening roar!

The sealed border trembled violently, and the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls simultaneously emitted a buzzing sound, their surface glowing with an eerie blue light that flickered erratically, as if they might collapse at any moment.

A hint of joy flashed in Dugu Zui's eyes!

it works!

He was about to swing his knife again when he saw Meng Chuan's lips curl into a cold smile.

"this one?"

Meng Chuan raised his hand and made a grasping motion towards the direction of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

The thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls shone brightly once more!

The previously loose blockade instantly became firm again, even more so than before!

Not only that, the suppressive power also increased, making Dugu Zui feel an even greater pressure on his body...

Dugu Zui's face instantly fell.

His all-out attack, fueled by burning his soul, only managed to make the opponent's bead set sway slightly?

How can we fight like this?

For the first time, despair welled up in his heart.

Just then, a divine sense swept over from afar and made contact with him for a moment.

Dugu Zui paused for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at a distant void.

There, a figure stood in the void, looking at the battlefield with a complex expression.

It was the same Immortal Emperor peak expert who had fought Lei Hong before, the strongest of the three outside helpers that Dugu Zui had found.

After one of Dugu Zui's other two henchmen died and the other escaped, he wisely withdrew from the battle with Lei Hong.

Seeing Dugu Zui completely suppressed and powerless, seeing that even burning his soul couldn't break through the blockade, his heart sank...

He knew that this trip had probably been in vain.

Not only did we come for nothing, but we also offended someone we shouldn't have!

He glanced at the boy standing with a gun on the battlefield, then at Dugu Zui, who was being suppressed like a trapped beast. He gritted his teeth, turned around, and prepared to flee.

The instant he turned around, Dugu Zui's voice entered his mind through divine sense:

"Hold him off for a moment! If I can break through the blockade, we still have a chance if we join forces!"
