Five minutes ago...
The Ox-Horse Factory, the core world ten thousand meters underground.
Smoke and dust cascaded down like a waterfall, revealing a bottomless crater on the once flat land.
The towering, hundred-meter-tall phantom of the Dharma of Heaven and Earth still maintained its awe-inspiring posture, gripping a gun with both hands and slamming it down.
"Huff... huff..."
Jiangnan hovered at the heart of the illusory figure, panting heavily.
He looked down at the giant crater below, and gave a smirk. "Now... things should calm down for a while, right?"
However, before he could finish speaking!
"Puff!"
Jiangnan coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body swaying violently in the afterimage.
Forcibly activating the final layer of the Dragon God Imperial Armor was far too much of a drain on his current S+ physique!
With a few muffled thuds, his capillaries burst under the high pressure!
Fresh blood seeped from every pore of his skin!
Large black spots began to appear in my vision, and I was losing consciousness.
Just when he was about to go into shock due to excessive blood loss!
"Bang!"
A wooden carving hanging from his waist exploded!
S-class one-time use item [Immortal Totem]!
A burst of brilliant and warm emerald-colored healing light erupted, enveloping Jiangnan entirely.
The light penetrated his body, forcibly stitching together his broken ribs and ruptured blood vessels!
Stop the gushing blood.
A few seconds later, the light disappeared.
Jiangnan's face was still deathly pale, but she had been forcibly pulled back from the brink of death to a state of weakness.
"Damn it..."
Jiangnan gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.
"Luckily, I got this S-class life-saving item earlier, otherwise I would have been drained to death instead of being killed by the Phoenix Emperor."
He took a deep breath, preparing to dispel the illusory image.
However!
In that instant, Jiangnan's eyes sharpened once more!
He lowered his head.
A force of resistance is surging up from the depths of the giant pit!
And that power was actually causing the hundred-meter-long phantom of the Godslayer Spear to...
Pushing upwards?!
Not only that!
From the crevice between the tip of the Godslayer Spear and the depths of the giant crater, a stream of black, icy air was pouring out!
"Not good!"
Jiangnan's eyes were bloodshot, and with the last bit of strength in his body, he manipulated the hundred-meter-long afterimage to try to press the spear down again.
But it was all in vain!
That force was not only pushing up the spear, but also devouring it relentlessly!
Jiangnan was horrified to see that the pure white [Divine Phoenix Karma Fire] was spreading upwards along the shaft of the spear!
Wherever it passed, the illusory image was quickly melted and destroyed, like snowflakes under the Blazing Sun!
Just as Jiangnan was putting up a desperate fight, a voice drifted from the Abyss.
"The realm expands, World as Prison!"
Boom!!!!!
The moment those words left his lips, the entire world was completely turned upside down!
Within the deep pit, a three-colored beam of light that pierced the heavens and earth suddenly erupted!
The pure white [Divine Phoenix Karma Fire] burns the void!
The profound [Cosmos Black Ice] freezes everything!
And this vast expanse of land, spanning hundreds of miles, transformed into countless earthen dragons that surged upwards!
Fire, Ice, Rock!
The three elemental powers intertwined perfectly, forming a destructive domain!
In this realm, the Phoenix Emperor is the only god!
"Oh no, this is... a domain!"
"Still an offensive type!"
Jiangnan stared at the white light so close to his face that he could barely open his eyes.
If we don't come up with a solution!
Without a doubt, he will die!
"Then... that's the only way."
Jiangnan stretched out his right hand to forcefully block the white light, then looked at the Human Emperor Lamp hanging at his waist...
That is...
Path to Survival!
And then, in the very next moment!
"Crack! Bang!!!"
The towering phantom, hundreds of meters tall, was blasted into a shower of light by this triune, World Annihilation power!
Immediately afterwards, the earth trembled!
This is not like the magnitude 5 earthquake we just witnessed, but a true geological catastrophe!
It was as if a supervolcano that had been accumulating energy for thousands of years had suddenly erupted!
The terrifying energy directly ripped up the Earth's crust from tens of thousands of meters underground!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The entire Ox-Horse Factory, along with the rock strata mines and Soul Furnace tens of thousands of meters thick, and even the buildings on the surface!
With this blow, it was thrown into the air and then exploded into dust!
Devastating!
Smoke and dust obscured the sun, and sand and stones flew everywhere.
The cave, which was originally buried deep underground, is now completely exposed under the sky above the Weird Island!
It turned into a basin ruin several kilometers in diameter.
At the very center of the ruins.
Phoenix Emperor, clad in White Flame Battle Armor and wielding a battle sword, emerged unscathed from the bottom of the deep pit.
An aura of power swirled beneath her feet, making her appear like a true deity descended to earth.
"This is the difference between mortals and Demigod."
"This is... the insurmountable chasm between having and not having [a domain]."
"This kind of overwhelming power, which belongs to the level of laws, can never be compensated for by the few numerical values you borrow, or by any kind of armor."
Phoenix Emperor snorted coldly, seemingly addressing Jiangnan, yet also declaring its victory.
Then, with a thought, she deactivated the White Flame Battle Armor and domain on her body.
The skeletal body, dressed in a tattered red dress, was revealed once more.
She turned the skull around, its empty eye sockets scanning the surroundings.
I originally wanted to admire the pitiful sight of Jiangnan collapsed amidst the ruins.
But.
When she saw the desolate ruins around her, completely leveled and devoid of even a single boulder, she realized that...
The Phoenix Emperor's skeletal body suddenly froze.
"Etc..."
An unprecedented sense of panic enveloped her.
"I... I just..."
Phoenix Emperor looked at its own bone claws and began to tremble violently.
He was thoroughly enraged by Jiangnan and then smashed into the ground by the Heavenly Law.
When she activated her domain in a fit of rage, only killing intent remained in her mind...
She seems to be...
He couldn't stop!!!
No... no!!!
The Phoenix Emperor pounced like a madman towards the center of the ruins that had been completely destroyed by the domain!
"Jiangnan! Come out here! Come out here for me, Your Majesty!!!"
She unleashed the Supernatural Ability of the Mother Earth, sending thousands of tons of rubble flying!
Disregarding all decorum, he knelt on the ground and dug through the pile of rocks with his bony Claws!
"No! This can't be happening!"
Phoenix Emperor prayed silently, though tears of fear could not fall, the collapse of her soul caused her to wail.
"I just wanted to break your legs... I didn't mean to kill you!"
"You're wearing the Dragon God Imperial Armor, there's no way you couldn't withstand it, right?!"
"Come out here!!!"
Phoenix Emperor, like Madman who had lost everything, searched through the land she had personally destroyed.
Until.
With trembling bone claws, she lifted the last stone in the very center of the pile.
Phoenix Emperor froze in place.
Beneath the pile of stones, there was neither the man nor the dragon armor.
There was only a shallow crater created by the blast.
A large pool of blood had gathered in the shallow pit.
And in the very center of that pool of blood lay a severed arm, cut off at the shoulder.
That is...
The Dragon God's arm.
