This Time, You're the One on Defense

The next moment, a huge emerald green Golden Light Pillar suddenly shot up from the sky above the Mortal Domain, piercing the Firmament and reaching the Nine Heavens!

Following closely behind is...

A Crimson Beam, and a Golden Light Pillar.

Three Golden Light Pillar emitted unprecedented brilliance, soaring into the Nine Heavens without interfering with each other. Under the watchful eyes of all Living Beings, the three pillars of Golden Light Pillar began to rotate and continuously merge.

The speed is getting faster and faster!

Until...

It suddenly exploded, turning into countless points of light that fell from the Firmament above the Boundary Battlefield, scattering across every corner of the Heaven and Earth.

A magnificent sound resounded throughout the Heaven and Earth.

"Eternal Night Continent, advances to level nine."

From then on

Nine is the ultimate number, and the Mortal Domain is the ultimate.

"Granted the title of Peerless."

Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan looked up at the countless points of light falling from the sky. Normally, such a Heaven and Earth phenomenon would not occur during the advancement of the Ninth-Level Continent.

All Living Beings, Myriad Races of Heaven and Earth and earth.

All are visible.

But.

The Eternal Night Continent is the only continent in countless millennia to have advanced to the ninth level, the "Grand Perfection Continent."

For ordinary Ninth-Level Continents to advance, only one condition needs to be met, or only the condition corresponding to the nature of their continent needs to be met. For example, if it is War Continent, only the condition of "Never Surrender in Ten Thousand Battles" needs to be met.

But the Mortal Domain.

Three were completed.

The horizontal length determines the vertical height.

The more difficult the process, the greater the reward.

This world is never stingy with its rewards for the brave, as long as you live long enough to see the day the reward comes.

In the Mortal Domain, by sheer luck.

I survived.

Just then, Hades burst out from the raging flames, wielding the King's Blood Blade, his eyes filled with an extreme Ice-Cold. He ignored all the surrounding continents and the incoming firepower, his target was only one: the Mortal Domain.

The speed was incredibly fast.

Difficult to capture.

If it were before...

With the "Heavenly Chasm City Wall" shattered, the Mortal Domain was naturally unable to withstand this attack.

But at this moment.

Feel sorry.

The Offense-Defense Reversal.

This time, you're on the defensive.

Chen Fan leaned on his Jadeite Staff with both hands, staring at Hades charging toward him at breakneck speed amidst Heaven Cannon, his eyes showing no sign of panic.

He said it only softly.

"Activate, Mortal Domain Halo."

The next moment!

A seven-colored light point exploded in the sky above the center of the Mortal Domain, and quickly transformed into a huge Seven-Colored Halo that surrounded the Mortal Domain, with a diameter of one million kilometers.

This is the second time he has received this Halo.

But this was the first time he had activated that Halo.

The moment the Halo activates.

Hades was instantly pushed millions of kilometers away and firmly pressed onto the sea surface. He tried several times to rise into the air, but was held firmly on the sea surface each time.

"Suppression".

Within a million kilometers of the territory Suppression by the Mortal Domain, Airspace Ban.

One of the Halo effects.

Suspended in the sky?

Stay obediently on the sea surface.

"Really..."

Abandoning the ascent, Hades, standing on the sea surface millions of kilometers away yet still able to clearly see everything, tilted his head slightly and pressed his right hand against the back of his neck.

He shook his neck.

The joints cracked twice.

He tossed the King's Blood Blade in his hand lightly into the air.

He let out a soft sigh.

Then, Ground Spikes out with his right hand, gripped the hilt of the knife firmly, and leaped several meters above the sea. His body emanated a black aura, and he spun halfway through the air before slashing heavily at the heavens and Heaven and Earth, grinning and roaring.

"Really..."

"That's amazing!"

"The Heaven's Collapse!"

However.

This time, the sea did not churn and hang upside down as usual, but remained perfectly still in place.

Sea Suppression.

One of the Halo effects is that the Sea Domain Suppression by the Mortal Domain cannot be moved.

Hades slowly straightened up.

Looking ahead at this scene, he felt for the first time that the situation was somewhat out of his control. Countless Blazing Pillar were illuminating the horizon and enveloping him.

The attack failed.

There was no trace of disappointment on his face; he simply burst into laughter.

"Looks like I need to get serious."

The next moment!

Hades transformed into a black shadow and vanished almost instantly from the spot, moving at a speed so fast that it was impossible to detect, even far exceeding the speed of the Sky-Piercing Pillar.

No Living Beings could match the speed of the Sky-Piercing Pillar.

But at this moment.

At Hades's maximum speed, the Sky-Piercing Pillar seemed as slow as an old man, which was quite laughable.

In the blink of an eye.

A million miles will be covered in the blink of an eye.

Hades transformed into Black Gilded Light, crashing straight into the Mortal Domain City Wall, while massive bursts of flames ignited in the empty Sea Domain millions of kilometers away.

Throughout the Heaven and Earth, Hades' arrogant and boastful voice echoed.

"You think that all I rely on is the 'King's Blood Robe'?"

"I will let you know."

"From beginning to end, I have only relied on one person, and that is myself."

Countless Sky-Piercing Pillars exploded in the deserted Sea Domain, yet not a single one of the firepower reached Hades, Hades at that moment displayed his unparalleled speed.

Let's look back at the previous battle.

The Mortal Domain did not reveal its full strength; it was concealing its true capabilities.

Little did they know.

The same applies to Hades.

Hades, however, did not intentionally conceal his abilities; rather, he felt they were sufficient.

This moment.

The figure of Hades could no longer be seen in Heaven and Earth world.

All that could be seen Black Gilded Light " that was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye, hurtling towards the Mortal Domain City Wall at breakneck speed, even though it was close to the sea.

The force it unleashed pierced a chasm in the dark clouds stretching for thousands of miles in the Nine Heavens.

At a glance.

Extremely terrifying.

Chen Fan slowly closed his eyes and whispered.

"Activate, Jade Pivot."

"Return to Ruin Bomb, volley fire!"

This was within his expectations. He didn't expect that simply removing Hades's scarlet robe would be enough to easily kill Hades; this merely broke Hades's absolute invincibility.

In other words.

The opponent's health bar was exposed.

The rest depends on his methods.

"The Jade Pivot Shall Sink the Jade Disc."

"Heaven and Earth Shall Ultimately Shine."

Jade Pivot's familiar yet Ice-Cold mechanical voice once again resounded in the ears of all the Continent Lords.

Within the next twelve hours.

All long-range firepower and Defensive Structures fired from any continent will possess Self-Acceleration and will absolutely hit the locked target regardless of distance, space, stealth, evasion, or time.

Most importantly.

Self-Acceleration.

Speed can be increased indefinitely until the target is successfully hit.

At the same time, the 38 Void -Return to Ruin Bomb | Sky-Piercing Pillars located behind him on the City Wall, the ultimate weapon forged by exhausting all of Human Race in the Eerie Stone Reserves, began to light up rapidly.

On Mr. Na's side, the moment the Heaven Shatter, he went to verify the "Return to Ruin Bomb" Building Blueprint, which took a total of 48 breaths.

At this time.

These thirty-eight rounds, entirely Azure blue with a bright Red Grade Return to Ruin Bomb on the warhead, were all of the 90mm grade.

Class.

It possesses the highest grade.

It possesses the newly acquired Level-90 Max-Level Effect, which is extremely simple: it grants additional damage bonuses to "Kings" of all races.

It boasts nearly 3,000 floors and War Dividend.

It possesses the blessing of the "Mortal Domain Halo".

It possesses the blessing of being an "Uncrowned King".

It possesses the enhancement of Dark Technology from the Mortal Domain.

It possesses the Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect intervention.

It has the added advantage of being "Slaughter of Billions".

As well as...

Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes, looked at Hades was Rapid Fire approaching in a straight line ahead, and said in a calm voice.

"From this moment forward, I am king."

The imperial edict in his bosom shattered upon impact.

Strange phenomena appeared in the Heaven and Earth.

A Gold Grade Throne appeared out of thin air, and Chen Fan's enormous phantom materialized before Throne. He surveyed the Heaven and Earth around him before slowly taking his seat.

The strange phenomenon shattered.

It transformed into eight large characters in Heaven and Earth sky.

"With Human King will turn to him."

The Enthronement Edict was issued, and the process began.

After using the edict, the Defensive Structure on the continent will deal additional damage to all "Kings".

"Return to Ruin Bomb"

Received another instance of increased damage.

The next moment

"Boom!!"

Thirty-eight Azure "Return to Ruin Bombs rose from the ground, their imposing presence so powerful that even from a distance, they were breathtaking.

It rose to mid-air.

It transformed into thirty-eight Azure Golden Light Pillar, directly confronting the Black Gilded Light that was rapidly shooting towards the Mortal Domain.

The Return to Ruin Bomb.

Multiple enhancements to the Return to Ruin Bomb.

Thirty-eight Return to Ruin Bomb.

This is a weapon of the highest destructive power in the Mortal Domain, created by exhausting the resources of the Human Race. Any one of them can easily destroy a Ninth-Level Continent or slaughter a Ninth-Level Strange Entity Clan.

That's also true.

For tens of thousands of years.

One of the most powerful single-target weapons ever unleashed in Human Race history; the second to the hundredth combined are not even comparable.

The next moment!

The Black Gilded Light rushed towards them at an incredible speed, and after stopping abruptly, it fled in the opposite direction at an equally incredible speed—far faster than the Azure Golden Light Pillar of light.

This has been so long.

Hades avoided battle for the first time.

Only...

After "Jade Pivot Sinks the Jade Disc", the speed of the Return to Ruin Bomb continued to increase, faster with each breath, until after dozens of breaths, its speed had already surpassed that of Hades.

Despite Hades's attempts to shift left and right to shake off the Azure Golden Light Pillar behind him, the Azure Golden Light Pillar remained firmly locked on, like a hyena.

We will not return until we have conquered Loulan.

Until "BOOM!!"

A near-deafening explosion resounded in the distance.

The Heaven and Earth trembled violently.

The seawater surged wildly, seemingly boiling.

Thirty-eight Return to Ruin Bombs exploded simultaneously at that moment, blasting right at face level.

The power it unleashed was unparalleled in the world.

At this moment, Heaven and Earth fell into utter silence.

At this moment, a strong sense of hope arose in the hearts of all humanity.

Is it... over?

They didn't know what kind of creature could survive at the epicenter of such an explosion; even the Heavenly Punishment Continent couldn't withstand it.

However...

Several dozen breaths later.

Suddenly they heard a laugh ringing in their ears.

All I saw was...

Hades stood before the Mortal Domain once more, the wind whipping past his body, his Clothing slightly torn, carrying the King's Blood Blade. He stood quietly on the sea, looking up at Chen Fan standing on the City Wall and smiling.

Is there anything else?

Hades, having lost his "King's Blood Robe".

I finally got injured for the first time.

His plain clothes were torn in many places, and cracks were clearly visible on his body, from which blood was now seeping.

But he remained upright.

There was no sign of defeat in his eyes.

They still look down on everything in front of them with disdain and arrogance.

Thirty-eight Return to Ruin Bomb.

Thirty-eight Return to Ruin Bomb, having received countless enhancements and been upgraded to Level 90 —symbolizing the strongest technique of the Human Race —only managed to tear a small piece of Hades' clothing and draw a drop of blood.

This moment.

Many people have fallen into despair again.

Even though Hades ' "King's Blood Robe" has been removed from the Mortal Domain, how come Hades' physical defense is still so strong?

"With such strong physical defense, is it necessary for you to wear a robe?"

Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan looked at Hades, who stood on the sea in the distance, and said softly that Hades' physical defense was more terrifying than he had imagined.

It can be said that...

If it weren't for his various methods of support and the Return to Ruin Bomb...

Even if Hades didn't have his robes, they probably wouldn't be able to harm Hades.

"Well."

Standing on the sea, Hades looked down at the tattered cloth fluttering in the air above his chest, revealing bloodstains on his exposed chest. "Chen Fan, your words make you seem rather foolish."

"It will hurt."

"The King's Blood Robe will allow me to feel no pain whatsoever."

"Most importantly..."

"I have it, why not use it?"

Do you have any more?

"Some."

Chen Fan nodded slightly.

The next moment!

The Hell's Gate slowly appeared in the sky above the Mortal Domain, and countless Sky-Piercing Pillars rose into the heavens from the Hell's Gate, from Behind Nameless Mountain, and from every corner of the Mortal Domain.

And then it changed direction in mid-air.

They all hurtled towards Hades.

The Level-90 Heavenly-Derivation Sky-Piercing Pillar, powered by millions of hands, is activated.

In an instant.

An endless, Blazing Pillar covered the entire Heaven and Earth, as if the Heaven's Collapse, completely engulfing Hades.

Only...

This time, Hades did not avoid it.

Standing quietly on the sea, gazing at the barrage of fire coming from the front, it suddenly laughed, "Here we go again. If I remember correctly, this should be your last resort, right?"

"Next..."

"After this wave, it's my turn to make my move."

He raised his hand and rhythmically flicked the blade nine times.

Each time.

The gleam on the King's Blood Blade shone even brighter.

The Ninefold Blood Awakening.

He took a deep breath, slowly raised the Blood Blade horizontally in front of him, and said slowly.

"Ten Thousand Disolutions."

In an instant.

Countless mysterious Vein Patterns composed of blood appeared before my eyes at an extremely fast speed, forming a barrier that firmly protected me in the middle.

The instant the barrier forms.

A barrage of firepower rained down.

At this moment, Hades was like a mayfly, struggling against the heavens on his own, bearing the full wrath of the heavens.

Unlimited firepower enveloped Hades.

Towering waves crashed to a height of ten thousand feet.

This scene.

He had experienced something similar before, but this time, Hades was not wearing his scarlet robe.

After Incense Stick.

The Heaven and Earth fell silent once more.

As the smoke and waves gradually subsided, everyone could clearly see a figure standing in the center of the screen.

That's Hades.

He wore tattered white clothes and carried a Crimson Longblade.

This is all there is to Hades.

His injuries had worsened, and even the corner of his mouth was stained with blood, clearly indicating internal injuries. Yet, his body remained upright, showing no sign of collapsing, and his eyes still held that infuriating contempt.

"Is there any more now?"

Hades suddenly laughed, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and shook his neck again. "Now, isn't it my turn to make a move?"

"Now that..."

The words were abruptly cut off before they could be finished.

Thirty-eight Azure Golden Light Pillar shot out almost instantly, enveloping him!

Another thirty-eight Return to Ruin Bombs!

The Heaven and Earth trembled once more!

"Oh shit..."

On a continent, the Clan Chief of the Upside-Down Tribe, his voice trembling with tears, pressed tightly to the ground as he said, "No one ever told me that spectators could be so deeply immersed in the battle!"

They were already far from the battlefield.

But the Heaven and Earth and earth trembled.

The entire continent they were on trembled violently, as if by an earthquake.

This level of exchange of fire far exceeds anything they have ever experienced before.

Even at such a great distance, it can still be affected.

If it's close.

"It's estimated that even if people aren't seen, they'll be affected and turned to ashes."

Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan gripped his Jadeite Staff tightly with both hands. The Human Race's resources were only enough to forge thirty-eight Void Return to Ruin Bomb, and the thirty-eight Void Return to Ruin Bomb he had just thrown...

He went back in time.

"Desperate Situation"

When the continent where it is located is completely Exhausted Ammunition, its resources will revert to their most abundant period in the past, and can be used once a year.

The only way to go back to the Eerie Stone is...

He went back to the time when all the Human Race's Eerie Stone Reserves were gathered in the Mortal Domain, and once again reforged thirty-eight Return to Ruin Bomb.

Hades.

It was harder than he had imagined.

Even without the scarlet robe, it was still terrifyingly hard.

The waves gradually subsided.

The smoke gradually dissipated.

All Living Beings held their breath, gazing at Hades, who stood tall on the sea. At that moment, Hades's body, which had always been upright and seemingly never to bend, finally...

He collapsed.

Kneeling on the sea.

Drops of blood dripped into the sea, their origins unclear from any particular wound on the body.

The tattered white clothes were completely stained red with blood.

This time.

Hades finally revealed his wounded state.

Moreover, the injury was quite serious.

In an instant.

Many humans couldn't help but cheer, even though they knew the war wasn't over, they were happy to see Hades in his current state.

This at least proves that Hades is not absolutely invincible.

They still have a chance.

Hades is already severely wounded; only the final blow remains!

"Oh."

Hades, kneeling on the ground, looked down at the sea. His hair, covered in blood, dripped blood in strands, making him look extremely disheveled. But a mocking laugh suddenly rang out between Heaven and Earth.

"I didn't want to reveal too much, lest some of the races still observing the battle become wary."

"After all, I don't know the strength of those races."

"So far, I only know roughly how strong the Demon Clan King is. He's rather average. I'll have to test my skills against you all during the Heaven Gate Fated War."

"Exposing too much is never good."

"Result."

I'm sorry you all had to see this.

Since it can't be hidden...

"Then..."

"Please understand."

"The moment I step through the Heaven Gate, all of you will be Wraiths to my blade."

"From this moment on, live in fear until death."

The voice was devoid of emotion, sounding almost self-deprecating and extremely cold. Yet, as each word struck the hearts of all Living Beings, it was like a heavy hammer blow, causing them to stop breathing.

What... what does that mean?

Could it be...?

Countless Living Beings had a possibility deep in their minds that they were unwilling to believe and found hard to accept.

The next moment, Hades' aura suddenly began to surge, increasing exponentially at an extremely rapid pace.

Hades kneels on the surface of the sea.

He slowly stood up.

The whites of his eyes quickly faded, replaced by a pure, unadulterated crimson, devoid of any other light.

Holding the King's Blood Blade, he gazed towards the Mortal Domain ahead.

He chuckled softly.

"So..."

"Warm-up is over."
