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

Upon hearing Dugu Zui's words, the peak Immortal Emperor, who had already begun to consider retreating, was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Should we stall him for a moment?

That's easy for you to say!

Didn't you see how that guy who cultivated the Law of Ice died?

One shot!

Just one shot!

They didn't even have a chance to resist!

He didn't want to go and die!

He shook his head, ignoring Dugu Zui's request, and with a flicker, transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the distance.

As Dugu Zui watched the departing streak of light, his last glimmer of hope vanished.

"Useless...a bunch of useless trash!"

He cursed through gritted teeth, then gripped the Heaven-Slaying Blade tightly again and looked at Meng Chuan.

Since we can't rely on others, we can only rely on ourselves!

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

We can't fight them head-on!

If they fight head-on, he'll eventually be worn down.

He must find a way to break through the blockade. Once he leaves the area covered by those thirty-six beads, he will have a chance to escape.

His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to find a weak point in the blockade.

However, the array of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is extremely uniform, and the suppressing power at each point is almost the same, so there is no so-called weak point.

Dugu Zui's heart sank little by little...

Just then, Meng Chuan moved again!

His figure appeared like a ghost not far in front of Dugu Zui, and the God-Slaying Spear in his hand turned into a black stream of light, piercing straight into Dugu Zui's chest!

Dugu Zui parried with his sword, the tip of his spear piercing the blade, sending sparks flying!

A brute force emanated from the blade, causing Dugu Zui's arm to go numb and his body to involuntarily slide backward several miles.

Before he could regain his footing, Meng Chuan's second shot had already landed!

Then came the third shot, the fourth shot, the fifth shot...

Meng Chuan's spear thrusts grew faster and faster, each strike imbued with the ultimate power of the Law of Force. Combined with the suppressive effect of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, he forced Dugu Zui into a series of defeats!

Dugu Zui could only defend passively, without even a chance to counterattack.

His arm was getting number and number, and the web between his thumb and forefinger was split open, with blood dripping down the blade.

His magical power was being depleted more and more, and his breathing became rapid.

Wounds began to appear on his body.

First, his left arm was cut open by the tip of a gun, and blood gushed out.

Then his right leg was hit by the spear's edge, and he staggered.

Then came his chest, where a gunshot pierced his defenses, leaving a shallow, bloody hole.

Although none of them are fatal injuries, they add up, and his condition is rapidly declining...

Meng Chuan, on the other hand, played more and more smoothly!

He seemed tireless, each shot precise and deadly, giving Dugu Zui no chance to catch his breath.

The suppressive power of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl made Dugu Zui feel as if he were trapped in a quagmire, requiring him to exert much more effort than usual for every dodge and block.

"No... if this continues, I'll really die here!"

For the first time, a genuine fear of death welled up in Dugu Zui's heart!

After obtaining the title of Immortal Venerable, he roamed the Tianyan Starfield for more than 30,000 years, never imagining that one day he would fall into the hands of a late-stage Immortal Emperor.

But the facts are right in front of us—he not only failed, but he failed miserably!

He gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision.

He swung his sword sharply, forcing back Meng Chuan's attack, and then, taking advantage of this brief opening, he shouted to the sky:

"Lord of the Domain—Save me—!!"

His voice, amplified by magical power, instantly resounded throughout the entire Tianyan Starfield!

The voice was filled with urgency, fear, and an unprecedented sense of panic—

Like a cornered dog, it let out its final howl!

The cultivators watching from outside the Star Tower had incredibly interesting expressions on their faces when they heard this cry for help.

"The Celestial Venerable of Slaughtering Heaven... is asking the Domain Lord for help?"

"It seems they really can't hold on any longer... That Meng Chuan is terrifying!"

"A newly promoted Immortal Venerable in the late stage of Immortal Emperor realm has defeated a veteran Immortal Venerable, forcing him to cry for help... If this gets out, the entire universe will tremble!"

"There's no way around it. His set of beads, comparable to a Great Dao Emperor Weapon, is too terrifying. And his Slaughter Great Dao Emperor Weapon seems to be a natural suppression of Dugu Zui's Emperor Weapon... Most importantly, while the Law of Slaughter is a good law, it's still quite different from the Law of Power!"

"That's natural. Beneath the Law of Force, there are also the Laws of Time and Space suppressing it… The difference between the Law of Slaughter and the Law of Force is no different than the difference between ordinary laws and the Law of Spacetime!"

……

In other parts of the Tianyan Starfield, people who heard the cry for help reacted in various ways.

Someone looked up in confusion, in the direction the voice came from: "Domain Lord? Who is asking the Domain Lord for help?"

Someone recognized the voice and their expression changed drastically: "That's... the voice of Immortal Venerable Lu Tian? He's pleading for help from the Domain Lord? How is that possible?!"

Someone immediately set off towards the Star Tower: "Immortal Venerable Lu Tian is being beaten and is crying for help? How can we miss such a spectacle!"

In an instant, countless figures rose into the air from every corner of the Tianyan Starfield and converged towards the Star Tower.

Outside the Star Tower, Dugu Zui's face turned bright red after he shouted out his cry for help!

He, the mighty Immortal Venerable of Slaughtering Heaven, a figure second only to the Emperor in the Heavenly Evolution Star Domain, actually cried for help in front of so many people—this was worse than being killed!

But he had no choice!

If he doesn't scream for help, he really will die!

He could only hope that the lord of the domain would hear his plea for help and, out of consideration for their past relationship, spare his life...

Meng Chuan, upon hearing Dugu Zui's cry for help, merely smiled coldly:

"Scream! Even if the Domain Lord comes, he can't save you!"

The God-Slaying Spear in his hand attacked even more fiercely!

Dugu Zui struggled on, his wounds multiplying, and blood stained his black robe.

His life force was rapidly waning...

Finally, after Meng Chuan pierced his left shoulder with another shot, he could no longer hold on and collapsed to his knees in mid-air, gasping for breath.

He raised his head and looked at Meng Chuan, his eyes filled with resentment and anger!

"Meng Chuan... do you really intend to wipe them all out?"

Meng Chuan looked down at him, his tone indifferent: "When you attacked me and tried to seize my imperial weapon, did you ever consider sparing my life?"

Dugu Zui was speechless!

He summoned three peak Immortal Emperors and laid a trap to kill Meng Chuan!

Meng Chuan raised the God-Slaying Spear, its tip aimed at Dugu Zui's brow.

And at that very moment—

A figure appeared out of the battle without warning.

He was a young man who looked to be in his early thirties, wearing a white robe with silver trim. He had a refined face and a gentle temperament, like a well-read scholar.

He stood there in the void, without any aura emanating from him, as if he were just an ordinary bystander.

But when he appeared, many of the cultivators watching from outside the Star Tower were stunned.

Then, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the room.

"Domain...Domain Lord?!"

"The Domain Lord has actually come?!"
