Boom!
A beam fired by the Banyan Tree Orbital Annihilation Cannon streaked through the stars.
Wrapped in the Primordial Magnetism Heavenly Law Web, it wielded terrifying power without destroying space. Instead, it traveled along the web of rules that permeated the universe. Like a vast, intricate network of high-speed rails, paths of rules connected any two points in the cosmos.
It could not be affected. It could not be evaded. It arrived in an instant.

Countless Immortal Sect cultivators held their breath.

With not a hair's breadth to spare, they formed a mountain-sized, gold-armored Black Tortoise. Dense, web-like rules of the undying Heavenly Dao spread around it. Indestructible as Vajra, immortal through the ages, it could endure as long as the universe itself.

They came from a Body Refining cultivator at the Dao Integration stage. Every drop was a seventh-tier heavenly treasure, a world-shaking spirit metal of immeasurable value, yet they spilled away without reserve.
"Argh..."
The gold-armored Black Tortoise screamed.
At the last possible
