On the bone dragon, Shen An was startled.
Immediately after, a wanton smirk appeared on his beautifully contoured face.
His long hair danced wildly in the wind, and the silver chains on his suit swayed.
“I don’t need anyone’s permission to do what I want.” The youth, with that familiar face, eyes gleaming with mockery, said, “Especially not you, human.”
The power coalescing in his hand, transforming into ephemeral black shadows, surged forth with a roar, forming a colossal black dragon shadow as it attacked Zong Lin!
Zong Lin’s gaze turned icy.
Shen Jie would never show such an expression.
The silver-white long spear was held in his palm. The aura of Rank One, already promoted, surged through his body.
He didn’t move, just a forceful sweep of the spear forward, and a brilliant silver moon-like beam had already pierced through the air.
In midair, the silver-white power of the soul and the pitch-black power of destruction collided fiercely!
The black dragon roared forward, intending to tear the silver moon into pieces with its sharp teeth.
The silver moon, in turn, raised its unmatched sharp curved blade, intending to cleave the black dragon in two.
There was no earth-shattering collision sound, as if both light and sound had been shattered by the immense power at the collision center. All that could be seen was the space around the collision point, cracking open like a mirror shattered from its center.
The shockwave swept over the surrounding land like waves. All tangible things were silently reduced to powder, and even intangible things could not survive.
As the shockwave was about to spread to the human base not far away, Zong Lin’s red pupils slightly contracted, and the silver-white halo around the periphery of his pupils suddenly emitted a strong light.
A circle of identical silver rings rapidly spread out from him as the center, surpassing the speed of the shockwave. In almost an instant, it encompassed hundreds of miles of wilderness, and then the halo formed a silver-white barrier, rising in a fan shape on both sides, isolating this space from the surroundings.
The scenery in the space changed.
The sky above became shrouded in fog, with faintly visible extremely large and sturdy pure white bone spurs hanging upside down, resembling tombstones hidden within.
And the scorched earth below was also gone, replaced by the sea of souls churning with silver waves.
— The domain space of the “Soul” Rank One, the “Soul Burial Ground.”
“Not bad, just promoted and already mastering the highest domain expansion. The strongest ability user this year is not as weak as I imagined.”
Shen An tilted his head, though his words were complimentary, his expression lacked much appreciation.
The contempt and disgust for humanity seemed to always pervade him.
He rode the bone dragon, standing above the boundless sea of souls, his eyes suddenly turning bright red.
Behind him unfolded a surging purgatory, like a vast scroll. Within the scroll, one could see mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with vengeful spirits wailing.
— The domain space of the “Death” Rank One, the “Realm of Asura.”
Shen An tapped his fingers.
Several blood rivers spread out from it, floating around him like crimson ribbons.

Rank One ability holders had a supreme rule power in their domain. Within the domain, the controller had the ability to modify rules, manipulate causality, and wield all sorts of unimaginable, incredible powers beyond the comprehension of living beings.

“What should we do? There are too many aliens outside. Where did they come from? Why didn’t the observatories detect them before?”
“Is it possible that they suddenly appeared, with the help of aliens from the ‘Space’ category…” one observer muttered.
“Impossible! Even if it’s a Rank Two ‘Space’ alien, long-distance transportation has its limitations, unless…” Another observer swallowed hard, unable to finish their sentence.
“Warning! Warning! Abnormal energy fluctuations detected in the northeast direction! Warning! Warning! Energy exceeding the upper limit—”
The energy detector emitted a strong and piercing alarm, but after just a few calls, it emitted smoke and self-destructed due to detecting excessively large energy.
In the northeast direction, the strongest human and the king of aliens were engaged in battle.
The initial collision of their forces generated a tremendous shockwave, akin to a nuclear explosion, no, even more powerful than a nuclear explosion could produce.
In the face of such power, the base appeared tiny, fragile like an eggshell that could shatter with a mere touch.
What kind of battle is this?
What kind of enemy are they facing?
Everyone in the base couldn’t help but wonder.
And when the domain of Rank One unfolded, all beings within a thousand miles who could feel this aura couldn’t help but rise with a sense of submission.
The attacking aliens knelt down, and the defending humans also knelt down.
A dense mass of beings, quite spectacular.
Only Su Shiyu did not kneel.
He continued to absorb the alien crystal cores without stopping, his deep green eyes looking towards the battleground where the two Rank Ones were fighting. Even though only his consciousness was housed within the exoskeleton, he couldn’t help but feel restless—
Too close.
He felt a great attraction coming from there, along with a strong sense of hunger it caused.
After absorbing another alien crystal, Su Shiyu looked expressionlessly at the battlefield.
Since Zong Lin’s promotion began, he had been on guard nearby.
If anyone were to strike while Zong Lin was promoted, he would also strike.
Now that Zong Lin had successfully been promoted, but he was caught up in battle again.
Just promoted, his state was not yet stable, and he was forced to fight, which would undoubtedly have some effect.
Shen An.
Su Shiyu crushed the alien core in his hand.
His green eyes were like cold rain.

“Soul Burial Ground”
The sky was filled with bone spurs, piercing through souls like rain, while countless silvery palms emerged from the churning sea of souls, grasping to pull individuals into its depths.
Shen An manipulated the skeletal dragon to leap and evade while controlling several streams of blood rivers to attack.
The long spear pierced through the blood rivers, instantly breaking apart and then merging again.
“It’s useless. Your spear can pierce the souls of living beings, but my existence itself is ‘Death.’ What can you pierce through?” Shen An said.
Zong Lin remained silent, his wings flapping as he wielded his spear to strike, each blow carrying the power of the “Soul” ability directly targeting the soul.
He was always extremely focused during battles, never swayed by the words of others, relying solely on his own observations and judgments.
After confirming that ordinary attacks were indeed ineffective, he immediately switched to other methods.
A rumbling sound was heard as countless giant inverted bone spikes in the sky began to descend.
Shen An knew what he intended to do, with a cold snort, he raised the blood-red domain behind him, like a crimson umbrella, covering his head.
In an instant, the bone spurs met the umbrella.
The earth shook around them!
—This was the most direct collision between domains among Rank Ones!
Shen An was least afraid of this. After ascending to Rank One, his mastery of the domain progressed gradually, with each improvement requiring a long period of understanding, practice, and expansion.
Zong Lin was just a newcomer who had recently ascended to Rank One, how could he possibly—
There was a cracking sound.
It was the blood-red purgatory space that showed subtle cracks.
“How could this be?”
This time, Shen An’s calm expression finally changed.
He could hardly believe the outcome.
Zong Lin had only recently ascended, while him, as a Rank One awakened being, had already undergone a growth period of more than a decade.
Why could Zong Lin’s domain strength surpass his own?
Zong Lin’s expression was indifferent.
Regardless. Shen An couldn’t imagine that he wasn’t the first Rank One in his own timeline.
The version of himself fused with him had become a Rank One long before, spanning hundreds or thousands of years.
And with hundreds or thousands of years of refinement, the domain was also mastered along with the fusion.
The moment a flaw appeared in the ‘Realm of Asura’, Zong Lin had instantly moved in front of Shen An.
Facing someone with the exact same appearance as his beloved, Zong Lin’s long spear swept directly, saying coldly:
“Reveal!”
Shen An was struck by the long spear, and the illusionary mist dispersed, revealing his true form.
A slender and delicate teenager appeared in front of Zong Lin.
He looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with a soft and beautiful face, almost indistinguishable in gender.
Zong Lin furrowed his brow.
When he saw the teenager’s soul just now, he felt that this alien looked somewhat familiar. Now in reality, the appearance was unexpectedly somewhat similar to Shen Jie.
“…Are you Shen An?” Zong Lin suddenly asked.
Shen An looked at Zong Lin uncertainly, then suddenly smiled, “Did my brother mention me to you?”
Without waiting for Zong Lin’s response, he continued, speaking to himself, “He should have. After all, from birth, we’ve been the most important to each other. Brother wouldn’t forget me.”
With that, Shen An suddenly changed the subject.
“But now, for you, he lingers in this world, refusing to wake up. I envy you.”
“My brother should have been the king ruling the world.”
“And what humanity bestowed upon him was only hardship, betrayal, and shackles.”
Shen An’s body suddenly began to blur, the black shadow twisting as waves of destruction flowed into the earth, rapidly penetrating it.
“I will break these shackles for him.”

Zhu Wu You swiftly made his way to the room where Shen Jie resided within the Observation Tower.
Just now, he used the “Fate” ability to observe that a “Form of Annihilation” had appeared at Base C.
Moreover, the “Form of Annihilation” had already triggered its ultimate ability, intending to drag the world into destruction.
If no one stopped it, the entire world would collapse!
Could his prediction be wrong?
Shen Jie is not the vessel of the being predicted by his teacher to destroy the world. Could it be that the one truly intending to destroy the world is the alien who looks exactly like him?
Zhu Wu You entered the room, only to find that inside, countless runes were fluttering like snowflakes.
The glass had completely disappeared, and the person inside was nowhere to be seen.
Shen Jie is on the move! Crazy how close we are to the end
