Heavenly Emperor of Profound Arms gripped the Tiger Soul God-Seizing Saber tightly, his gaze fixed on the slowly rotating wheel. His fighting spirit and fear intertwined in his eyes, transforming into an unprecedentedly solemn expression.

He saw a terrible reality.

The three Eternal wielded the Miracle Creation — the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Holy Grail of Origin, and the Tiger Soul God-Seizing Saber —all top-tier creations of the Twelve Stars. Throughout the long history of the Chaos Sea, these twelve Miracle Creation were universally recognized as supreme divine artifacts, each capable of suppressing the foundation of an entire realm. With these three artifacts, they traversed the Chaos Sea, conquering countless realms with unparalleled success.

But at this moment, facing that Heaven-Bearing Reincarnation Disc, they suddenly felt an absurd sense of "a child's toy facing an adult's sword."

"We can't let it continue operating!"

The Sun God was the first to react. He roared, and two beams of pure, blazing Blazing Sun Divine Light shot from his eyes. He clasped his hands together in front of him, and the Eternal Blazing Sun emerged from the Void, transforming into a massive pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth, crashing fiercely towards the Heaven-Bearing Reincarnation Disc!

The beam of light was so intense that it burned through the Void wherever it passed, leaving a long, golden trail of nothingness.

The God of Law followed closely behind. He held the Holy Grail of Origin, within which the chaotic power of Origin surged wildly, transforming into a gray beam of light that existed between existence and nothingness, piercing straight towards the Heaven-Bearing Reincarnation Disc. Wherever that beam passed, space was sometimes annihilated into nothingness, and sometimes new matter was born out of thin air. Existence and nothingness constantly transformed under its power, reaching the extreme of chaos.

The Heavenly Emperor of Profound Arms's longsword swept across the sky. The Tiger Soul God-Seizing Saber let out a deafening tiger's roar. The crack on the blade, inflicted by Logo, not only failed to weaken its power but instead gave off an even more ferocious aura of "destruction followed by rebirth." He gripped the blade with both hands, transforming himself into a million-foot-long, dark azure blade aura, carrying a terrifying power capable of devouring souls and tearing apart battle intent, as it slashed fiercely towards the Heaven-Bearing Reincarnation Disc!

Three attacks, three full-force strikes at the level of Eternal, three ultimate offensives capable of easily annihilating an entire realm--

At the same time, it landed on the Heaven-Bearing Reincarnation Disc.

Then, nothing happened.

To be precise, the attacks did indeed land on the roulette wheel, but the instant they touched its surface, they were drawn, broken down, and swallowed up by an unseen force, disappearing without a trace like mud sinking into the sea.

At the edge of the roulette wheel, the Six Paths of Reincarnation lit up simultaneously. The Gate of the Heavenly Dao radiated golden light, drawing in the Blazing Sun Divine Light of the Sun God; the Gate of Hell ignited karmic fire, swallowing the primordial power of the God of Law; the Gate of the Asura surged with Blood Qi, Crush and disintegrating the blade aura of the Heavenly Emperor of Profound Arms. Each of the six gates operated independently, transforming the power of the three attacks into the power of Samsara, which then fed back into the core of the roulette wheel, making it rotate more smoothly and powerfully.

The three Eternal' all-out attack not only failed to harm the Heaven-Bearing Reincarnation Disc in the slightest, but instead became its nourishment.

The Sun God's face turned completely black.

At the same time, Logo raised his hand and flicked his fingertips lightly.

A pure stream of Samsara power shot out from his fingertips and entered the huge crack that had just been torn open in the sky.

In an instant, the edges of the crack began to writhe and repair themselves. Countless golden rays of light surged in from all directions, intertwining, entwining, and weaving like living things, stitching the shattered Heavenly Net back together. Those rays were thicker, brighter, and stronger than before, shimmering with the unique soft light of the power of Samsara, and weaving together in the sky to form an even more magnificent and intricate net of heaven and earth.

Immediately afterwards, the Great Dao of the Spirit Saint Domain trembled and revived. The torn fragments of law recombine and rearrange, and the spiritual energy and power of the Great Dao between heaven and earth formed a perfect closed loop, with no more leakage whatsoever. The aura of the entire realm was rising rapidly, like a celestial body charging up, becoming brighter, heavier, and more unshakeable.

A deep, muffled "hum" sound echoed between heaven and earth.

That was the sound of the boundary being completely sealed off.

The Spirit Saint Domain, once an open realm, has become a closed, complete, and self-sufficient one. Floating above the Chaos Sea, it resembles a giant, indestructible crystal ball, completely locking down all passages between the inside and outside.

The three Eternal are currently trapped inside this crystal ball.

prisoner.

A prisoner who broke in on his own.

The three Eternal looked at each other, their expressions extremely grim.

The first to speak was the God of Law, his voice unusually tinged with a hint of wavering. "I can no longer sense the Northern Spirit Empire. Even the Chaos Sea couldn't sever my connection with the empire, but the sealing barrier of this realm has managed to do so..."

The Sun God said in a deep voice, "I can no longer sense my Angel Legion. Those troops left outside seem to be separated from me by an entire epoch."

Heavenly Emperor of Profound Arms gripped the Tiger Soul God-Seizing Saber tightly, his complexion actually the best among the three. His cultivation system differed from the other two; the vast majority of Heavenly Emperor of Profound Arms's power resided in the Tiger Soul God-Seizing Saber. As long as the blade existed, his power remained, requiring no external support. Even so, he felt the terrifying pressure enveloping the entire realm—the overwhelming force of the entire Spirit Saint Domain concentrated on him alone. Heavenly Emperor of Profound Arms had never felt this before against any opponent; it was simply a more precise description of his past methods of dealing with others.

"This realm..." Heavenly Emperor of Profound Arms slowly spoke, "It's exploiting us. Every moment we stay, our power is diminished. The power of Samsara is eroding the foundation of our Dao principles."

The Sun God's expression changed, and he immediately focused his mind to sense the situation. He then discovered that what the Heavenly Emperor of Profound Arms had said was true. The solar essence within his body was being slowly extracted, dispersed, and assimilated by an invisible force. Although the speed was extremely slow, at this rate it would take at least several hundred years to cause substantial damage to him, but that meant he could no longer continue fighting in this realm.

"This is a cage," the God of Law said coldly. "He used the entire realm as a cage, and the power of Samsara as chains, to imprison us here."

"So what?" The Sun God gritted his teeth, and the light of the Eternal Blazing Sun shone brightly once more. "Even if it's a cage, we'll see if it can hold me!"

He suddenly raised his hand, and a blazing sun condensed in his palm, smashing it fiercely towards the newly repaired barrier in the sky! The Blazing Sun Divine Light carried the ultimate power to Purification everything, aiming to tear a hole in the barrier once more!

But this time, it was His turn to be surprised.

The instant the Blazing Sun Divine Light struck the barrier, countless streams of pitch-black nether energy surged forth from the Void, enveloping the golden light like a tangible tide. This nether energy was viscous and icy, carrying the chilling stillness and deathly silence unique to the Nether Realm Netherworld, frantically eroding, assimilating, and devouring the energy of the Blazing Sun Divine Light.

The golden light rapidly dimmed within the black aura, growing weaker and weaker until it was completely swallowed up. Then, the aura that had absorbed the Blazing Sun Divine Light began to writhe, condense, and undergo a qualitative change, evolving into round and round black suns.

One, two, three... a total of twelve black suns, suspended in the sky, radiating a cold and eerie dark light. They formed a stark contrast with the golden sun in the distance, like a terrifying scroll of yin and yang intertwined, hanging in the sky of the Spirit Saint Domain.
