Boom!
From a distance, the stream of light containing terrifying power that was descending from the sky resembled a heavenly waterfall crashing down and tearing the sky apart.
Zhao Mushen, Wu Yao, Su Youwei and others paled in the face of such an attack. Regardless of how talented they were and how much potential they had, they hadn't reached the Law Domain stage and could only close their eyes and wait for death.
Therefore, they helplessly watched the stream of light descend.
Emotions overflowed their hearts.
But just when they thought of their last words, the space above them distorted and a figure flashed out from it like a ghost. A thunderous roar echoed and astonishing Genesis Qi erupted, clashing with the stream of light crashing down.
Shock waves raged out from the collision.
Puchi!
Suffering the impact, Wu Yao, Zhao Mushen, Su Youwei and others coughed up blood but they didn't panic. Instead, their eyes lit up with surprise.
"Your Highness!" Su Youwei instantly recognized the figure.
Wu Yao and Zhao Mushen wore complicated expressions because they had been rescued by him once again.
The collision between the two forces lasted for several breaths before the stream of destructive light faded.
Zhou Yuan's chest heaved, his breathing became heavy and the fear in his eyes deepened. Tai Xuan had only used a casual move but he was able to force him to counter with all his strength. This fact alone showed how huge the difference between them was.
But he had no time to think too much. With a wave of his sleeve, he rolled up Su Youwei, Wu Yao, Zhao Mushen and the others and bolted into a full speed dash towards the defense boundary.
Tai Xuan cast an indifferent gaze towards Zhou Yuan.
"Is he the one who spied on me earlier?
"He looks familiar..."
Lights flickered in Tai Xuan's eyes as if he was searching his memories. After a few breaths, he smiled."I remember. That person is called Zhou Yuan, and he defeated junior brother Jia Tu in Guyuan Heaven. He can be considered a legendary person. It's no wonder that...
"It doesn't matter. Since he showed up here, I will get revenge for junior brother Jia Tu."
As he stretched out his hand, terrifying Genesis Qi gathered in his palm.
At the same time, Zhou Yuan, who was carrying Su Youwei and the others and was frantically retreating, felt a chill in his heart and his hair stood on end. He could feel that Tai Xuan was watching him like he was hunted by a fierce beast.
Zhou Yuan couldn't help cursing inwardly, but he didn't dare to be careless. Genesis Qi again erupted from him and he frantically fled at full speed.
During that short period, the majority of the all-heavens army had entered the defense boundary.
Many third Law Domain stage experts who were in charge of protection also started to retreat into the boundary.
But everyone could only helplessly watch the troops at the rear of the army constantly being wiped out.
Xu Beiyan maintained the boundary's crack with his power to allow teams to rush in, and then he peered into the distance and saw the terrifying aura rapidly approaching and said, "We need to close the boundary entrance soon."
Chi Jing said urgently, "Wait a little longer!"
She saw Zhou Yuan speeding towards the boundary.
Xu Beiyan said expressionless, "If Tai Xuan also rushes in, who's going to take responsibility?"
Chi Jing gritted her teeth.
The other third Law Domain stage experts nodded silently. It was inevitable that some people had to be abandoned because if Tai Xuan also rushed in the boundary, the consequences would be very serious.
Xu Beiyan exercised his authority and the boundary crack began to close up.
As Zhou Yuan rushed over from a distance, his expression slightly changed when he saw what was happening. He frantically activated his Genesis Qi and raised his speed that had already reached its limit once again.
In less than ten breaths, the boundary was almost within reach.
But it was then that the space above him crumbled and a huge fist crashed down. The power contained in that fist seemed capable of destroying everything like the wrath of a god.
It was clearly an attack from Tai Xuan!
Zhou Yuan's scalp numbed when he saw such destructive power, which was even more terrifying than the previous stream of light. If struck, even he could die!
The boundary was closing in front of him and a destructive fist crashed down from above.
He intently stared at the boundary that they were quickly nearing. Su Youwei, Wu Yao, and Zhao Mushen also stared wide-eyed, their hearts racing in their chest.
Chi Jing clasped her hands tightly, mumbling, "Hurry!"
"We can make it!" Images of Zhou Yuan's figure were left in the air as he sped towards the boundary. A flash of joy appeared on his face after he calculated his speed and the distance.
According to his calculations, he should be able to squeeze through the boundary crack before Tai Xuan's fist strike. And once he entered the boundary and it closed, he would be able to avoid the shock waves from the fist.
Countless people felt so nervous as they watched Zhou Yuan near the boundary that they didn't even dare to breathe.
Xu Beiyan calmly watched but a strange light flashed across his eyes. Suddenly, he flicked his fingers inside his sleeve.
Zhou Yuan pushed himself forward and was about to pass through the crack.
It was then that his pupils shrank because he sensed a force in front of him. That power had no attacking nature but slowed him down for a moment like a cobweb.
His face changed dramatically.
This wasn't important in ordinary times but at that moment it was a second of life and death.
Boom!
Amidst shocked gazes, the fist of destruction smashed into Zhou Yuan's body like a meteor.
Puchi!
A jet of blood spurted out from his mouth, his body twisted and many bones snapped.
Zhao Mushen and the others who were under his protection also spurted out blood. Some unlucky people were directly exploded into blood foam when that power seeped into their bodies.
Rumble!
As Zhou Yuan plunged into the ground, a deep thousand-feet abyss suddenly emerged in the ground. The fist-created abyss was dark and bottomless and completely buried Zhou Yuan's figure.
No one could survive under that punch.
At that time, the boundary closed up completely.
The world fell silent.
Everyone stared dumbstruck at the giant abyss but they couldn't sense the slightest vitality inside.
They were only one step away.
Many people's eyes dimmed. That step was the difference between life and death.
The youngster who had created many miracles in all-heavens had perished like that in front of everyone?
