Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

So, can Tianyuan still be steamed?

The answer is—yes!

Absolutely yes, you can steam it easily!

30 seconds. 29 seconds. 28 seconds.

27 seconds... Outside the real ball, Wan, who was mentally calculating the time, was still locked in a fierce battle with the Ten Shadows Shikigami controlled by Tengen.

However, the shell of a true sphere, which possesses some of the properties of an ideal rigid sphere, cannot be used as a medium for sound transmission.

Therefore, while the three people inside the sphere remained inside, the outside remained completely silent.

Inside the crimson shell of the domain, the struggle between the Abyss and the Wheel of Adaptation has reached its climax.

The moment the power of the Great Crimson Lotus Hell of Avici erupted completely, even space itself emitted a dying groan under the crushing force of the four mental images. Extreme ice, slashing, cursed blood, and limitless power twisted into an indestructible noose, tightly binding the Adaptation Wheel above Mo Xuluo's head.

On that stagnant Dharma wheel, cracks spread rapidly like a spider web. Even the almost bug-like technique of "adaptation" was on the verge of melting under the combined power of the four realms.

Outside the liquid gold sphere, Wan's battle became increasingly difficult, while inside the sphere, Xia Jie was already considering whether it was time to pop the champagne ahead of schedule.

Until a will far greater and more rigid than the Pure Land, like the laws of heaven and earth themselves, suddenly descended from the Mandala Dharma Realm.

This arrival is neither the oppression of cursed power nor the effect of some kind of spell, but rather the self-declaration of the rules themselves.

The announcement had a subtle sense of ritual, like when the golden beetle promulgated new rules during the Death Return journey, but it was a million times more solemn and weighty.

That was the remaining ten percent of the Tianyuan consciousness, which had not yet been born into the flesh as the Demon Void Demon.

Tianyuan used its authority as the creator of the Mandala Dharma Realm, binding it with the requirement that "the Dharma Realm must be expanded globally within three days," and forcibly inscribed three extremely binding rules within the Dharma Realm:

"Please tell us, all sentient beings in the Dharma realm have the right to know this."

The three preliminary general principles of the "Zero Emptiness Secret Ritual - Mahasattva Ritual" initiated by the Dharma Realm Manager "Tengen" have been promulgated.

General Principle 1

All fighting is prohibited within the Dharma realm.

General Principle Two,

It is forbidden to disrupt the Dharma realm in any way.

General Principle Three,

All sentient beings within the Dharma Realm are prohibited from leaving its boundaries.

The real ball created by Wan Cuo failed to provide the slightest obstruction. The moment the three rules fell, the Great Crimson Lotus Hell, which was at its peak of power, suddenly froze.

It was as if a high-speed gear was forcibly driven into a wedge, and the barriers between the four intersecting mental images crumbled inch by inch.

"Oh no, we opened the champagne too early!" Xia Jie only had time to think this to himself before the mental images and magical power of him, Wu Tiao, and Su Nuo dissipated rapidly like the receding tide.

Su Nuo groaned, the muscles in his four arms tensing uncontrollably; Gojo Satoru's forehead was covered in sweat, a look of astonishment flashing in his azure pupils; Xia Jie also felt his spell power being forcibly severed by an invisible giant hand for a moment, the tearing and numbness of the spell melting instantly spreading throughout his brain.

The fierce battlefield seemed to be paused, falling into a brief silence, and then...

"Click—"

The crisp sound of wheels turning echoed across the silent battlefield, causing the three men's hearts to skip a beat. If they had to express their feelings in two words, it would be—

'It's over!'

The extremely fine ice dust regained its blood-red color and then coalesced into one.

Demon Void's bone-white body stood perfectly intact on the battlefield.

The wheel of adaptation above its head, which had been covered in cracks, now had all the cracks disappear and began to slowly rotate again.

The otherworldly god and the ultimate shikigami stood silently in place, their aura rising at a visible speed. With each rotation of the wheel, Xia Jie and the other two's spells became weaker.

A hundred martial arts skills, this is how one adapts to all situations!

Everyone stood frozen in place.

It's not that I don't want to move, it's that I can't.

The first rule, "No Fighting," acts like an invisible shackle, effectively locking away everyone's intention to attack.

Even if you really want to take action, the power of the spell will be cut off by the rules the moment it is activated, and even the muscles that clench and swing their fists will become relaxed again due to the negation of the rules.

"Tsk."

Su Nuo closed his eyes first, and two of his four arms pressed against his temples.

The skull beneath his fingertips emitted a faint cracking sound, and magical power surged within his skull. He damaged his own brain in an almost brutal manner, and then forcibly repaired it using the Reversal Technique, thus completing the restoration of the Melting Technique.

On the other side, Gojo Satoru made the same choice. He raised his hand and wiped the tip of his nose, his fingertip stained with a mixture of scarlet blood and murky brain matter.

After several consecutive spell breaks and repairs, even with the precision of his six-eyed enhanced spell manipulation, his brain was on the verge of collapse.

Gojo Satoru's face was as white as paper, but he still gritted his teeth, his positive energy constantly circulating in his brain.

He had a premonition that what he had just witnessed might have been the last time he unleashed his domain.

Wan stood among her animal friends, who were no longer attacking her, wearing her mostly tattered insect armor, staring blankly as the simulated sphere she had painstakingly brought from the realm to reality shattered inch by inch due to the interruption of her curse power supply.

Outside of her domain, she was unable to truly construct such an idealized object; the fact that she could even briefly materialize it was already the result of her desperate efforts for the sake of the engagement.

Damn the general rule! Wan clenched her fists. If she and Lord Su Nuo were both trapped and died in this barrier, what would happen to her engagement?

Immediately, a sickly smile reappeared on Wan's face: "Hehehe, actually, dying for love isn't so bad. I'm going to build the most magnificent coffin in the world, and embrace Lord Sukuna inside forever and ever and ever!"

Within the still-expanding Dharma Realm, Maki, who had received healing from Ieiri Shoko, had stepped back into the Dharma Realm, her right hand tightly gripping the Soul Release Blade that Mai had obtained with her life.

She had heard the rules announced earlier, and she even felt that these rules were tailor-made for her. After all, the rules of the Dharma Realm could not select Heaven and Tyrant with zero spell power!

What do you mean, "I can hit you, but you can't hit me back"? That's amazing! It's like in a game of rule-based fantasy, where the awakened talent is unrestricted and never turns off.

Undoubtedly the ultimate cheat!

But... if Maki didn't use all her brainpower to build muscle, she would have some different ideas.

She fought the Demon Void Demon? Really?

Don't make me laugh, you old man Mo Xu Luo.

Even if the Tianyuan version of the Undying Demon Xu Luo didn't fight back or even dodge, and just stood there letting Maki cut him, Maki could cut her own sword until it broke, but she still couldn't kill this big daddy.

Maki has no chance of winning even a one in a million. At this moment, the scales of victory have completely tipped in Tengen's favor.

That is,

Did Lord Tengen win?

In the center of the battlefield,

The Dharma wheel above Moxuluo's head seemed to be coated with lubricant, spinning faster and faster. In a little while, it would be able to adapt to all types of attacks. At that time, whether Tianyuan actively withdrew General Rule 1 or Moxuluo adapted and became immune to the rules, everyone present would become fish on its chopping board.

As the strongest in the modern era, Gojo Satoru's breathing gradually became heavy, while Sukuna, the strongest in the ancient era, also frowned.

Both beings who stood at the pinnacle of the world of sorcery felt powerless in the face of these unreasonable rules and monsters.

Their spirits were dampened, and they were somewhat resigned to their fate. Among them, Gojo Satoru even began to conjure up images of divine final words like, "I'm sorry I couldn't satisfy Lord Mokuro."

I said, there is still hope.

Just then, a calm yet resolute voice rang out.

Xia Jie stood there, looking at the Dharma wheel spinning above Mo Xuluo's head. Instead of drooping, the corners of her mouth curled up into a wild smile.

"Since reality is against us, why don't we just keep beating reality until it submits to us?"

"Those mere rules? Watch me crush them with my elbow!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was surrounded by Wan, Sukuna, Gojo Satoru, Makura, and Maki, who had just arrived at the battlefield.

Xia Jie raised her hand and aimed it at her temple. The spikes formed from the cursed blood pierced through her skull without stopping, tearing her brain to shreds.

"So arrogant?!"

Gojo Satoru's pupils contracted slightly.

He wasn't surprised by the repair methods that had been demonstrated many times before, but rather he couldn't understand how Xia Jie could still issue a declaration of victory in such a desperate situation.

The next instant, the powerful self-healing ability originating from the cursed spirit was activated, the shattered brain tissue regenerated rapidly, and the broken spell was repaired accordingly.

"Nice!"

Xia Jie shook his head, letting out a satisfied groan, and then, without hesitation, he established the restraints:

"I sacrificed the entire domain, retaining only the core, in exchange for maximizing the domain's strength."

Unlike loan-based constraints that require checking credit scores, this type of on-the-spot transaction constraint, which doesn't postpone the cost but rather allows immediate payment and settlement, will be accepted by the rules of the spell even if the initiator is a blacklisted defaulter like Xia Jie who only borrows and never repays.

"Domain Expansion - Crimson Lotus Sword Prison".

There was no soaring crimson lotus light, nor the spreading blood hell. This time, Xia Jie's domain range shrank directly from a radius of more than two hundred meters to a radius of half a meter.

Then, the already highly concentrated mental image was rapidly compressed by Xia Jie from half a meter to the size of a marble, and finally, it was forcibly condensed into a blood-red particle smaller than a grain of sand, quietly suspended at Xia Jie's fingertip.

It's important to understand that even Gojo, a prison warden who had served time in the prison gates, could only compress his domain to the size of a basketball.

The marbles that Xia Jie displayed during the spatial quake were unprecedented and unparalleled in the world of sorcery.

Not to mention the current particle. Looking at this scarlet particle, even Tianyuan, a master of barrier techniques, had to admit that Xia Jie's skills had now reached the realm of gods, making her an undisputed god of spells!

Then, a terrifying, overwhelming magical power poured relentlessly into the grain of red sand. Crimson light overflowed from the particle, far exceeding the brightness of Gojo Satoru's "Haku," stinging the eyes of everyone present.

The surrounding space was violently distorted and deformed around this extremely condensed 'self-reality', as if a black hole was rewriting spacetime.

What does it mean to concentrate on one point and reach the pinnacle?

Now!

Xia Jie raised her eyes, feeling the omnipresent Heavenly Origin Will within the Dharma Realm, and pure joy welled up in her eyes.

"Tianyuan, oh Tianyuan, how many surprises do you have to bring me before you're satisfied!"

He pushed his finger, slowly pressing the grain of blood sand, which contained the power of the entire domain, towards the sky, like Adam pointing a finger at God.

At this moment, the causal resistance was pushed to its limit, forcefully resisting the rule of "prohibiting the destruction of the Dharma Realm". The pitch-black flash and the scarlet spell power merged into a point, piercing through space along his finger and pointing towards the Dharma Realm.

"Black Flash - Destruction of Space!"

The big sound is loud, the elephant is invisible.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.
