154: Impacting the seventh-order barrier

Lin Yuan had no chance to catch his breath at all!

"Roar—!"

The Abyssal Guardian that had been smashed into the rock wall violently broke free from the rubble, letting out a deep, thunderous roar!

Blinding red light erupted from the cracks in its chest, and its massive body instantly blurred and vanished, wrapped in that red light!

Spatial blink!

In the next instant, it had appeared less than a hundred meters behind Lin Yuan!

The massive dark war halberd in its hand swept horizontally across his waist, carrying a screech that tore through space!

The speed was several times faster than before!

Clearly, it had used some kind of secret technique to overdraw its core!

Almost the moment it vanished, Lin Yuan's powerful combat instinct had already sounded a warning!

He spun around violently, his chaos heavenly extreme sword parrying backhand with a piercing screech!

At the same time, the giant palm of his Origin Dharma Body also struck out behind him simultaneously!

"Clang—!!! Boom—!!!"

The war halberd slammed fiercely against the sword blade, erupting with blinding energy sparks!

Terrifying power surged along the sword body, numbing Lin Yuan's arm!

Meanwhile, the giant palm of the Origin Dharma Body also collided fiercely with the other arm the guard had swept across!

As the two immense forces clashed, space let out an unbearable groan!

Lin Yuan was shaken, his Qi and blood churning, and his figure staggered backward!

Meanwhile, in front, the other Abyssal Guardian, which had just missed its strike, had the crimson light on its chest condensed to the extreme!

It violently plunged its war halberd into the ground, gripped its hands in the air, and an extremely compressed, dark red energy ball radiating destructive fluctuations instantly formed in front of its chest!

Its target was none other than Lin Yuan, who had been knocked back and was unsteady!

Pincer attack from front and back! A chain of lethal moves!

At this critical moment, a fierce glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes!

"Myriad Heavens Life and Death Wheel!"

"Hum—!"

The wheel of life and death emerged and rotated within the Origin Dharma Body once again!

The vast power of 127 million Yu instantly filled his entire body!

The Qi and blood that had been churning from the shock were forcibly suppressed!

He did not attack either of the Abyssal Guardians, but instead poured this earth-shattering power, without reservation, into the defenses of his Origin Dharma Body and chaos heavenly evolution robe!

At the same time, his left hand formed a seal once again!

"Soul Devouring Seal!"

A black seal appeared, a 3-fold amplification!

38.1 million Yu of mental defense were added to the Origin Dharma Body and the robe!

"Boom—!!!"

The violent halberd strike from the Abyssal Guardian behind him, powered by its overdrawn core, slammed fiercely against the chaos heavenly extreme sword and the giant palm of the Origin Dharma Body that Lin Yuan had hastily used to defend!

The violent force sent him flying away fiercely once again!

Almost at the same instant he was sent flying!

The dark red energy ball in front of the front Abyssal Guardian, like a cannonball leaving the chamber, trailing a black streak that tore through space, struck precisely toward Lin Yuan's backward trajectory!

No way to dodge!

"Myriad Laws Reversal Wheel!"

While flying backward, Lin Yuan forcibly twisted his body, his hands tracing profound trajectories in front of his chest!

A deep gray vortex instantly unfolded, barely blocking in front of that destructive energy ball!

"Pfft!"

The energy ball slammed fiercely into the vortex!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only the hissing sound of energy being frantically devoured!

One ten-thousandth of a second later!

"Hum—!!!"

The reversed vortex roared!

A Chaos-colored energy beam, with doubled power, more condensed, and faster speed, like an enraged wild Dragon, ferociously surged back toward the Abyssal Guardian that had released the energy ball!

The Abyssal Guardian clearly had not expected Lin Yuan to be able to launch such a bizarre counterattack while in such a disadvantageous position!

It tried to dodge, but the brief stiffness after overdrawing its core to release a major move made it half a beat too slow!

"Boom—!!!!"

The doubled-power destructive beam slammed fiercely against its thick chest armor!

The blinding light instantly swallowed the Abyssal Guardian's massive body!

The sturdy bone armor was torn apart and melted like paper!

The deep blue crystal on its chest let out an unbearable wail and shattered with a boom!

Destructive energy poured into its body, completely tearing it apart and incinerating it from the inside!

[Killed Tier 6 Exotic Beast · Abyssal Guardian x1, merit points +100,000!]

As the light dissipated, only a pile of charred remains emitting blue smoke was left in place!

As for Lin Yuan, he had withstood the overdrawn strike from the Abyssal Guardian behind him and was then swept by the explosion's shockwave, slamming fiercely into the distant rock wall covered in tumors like a kite with a broken string!

With a boom, a human-shaped crater was smashed into the rock wall, and rubble fell with a rustling sound!

"Pfft!" Lin Yuan could no longer suppress it; a mouthful of blood sprayed out, staining the front of his chaos heavenly evolution robe red.

On the sleeves of the robe, the cracks had visibly increased, and the light was dim.

The Qi and blood inside his body churned like boiling water, and his Meridians throbbed with faint pain.

Having continuously used the Myriad Heavens Life and Death Wheel, Soul Devouring Seal, and Myriad Laws Reversal Wheel, plus withstanding the full attack of the Tier 6 Abyssal Guardian, even with his base total combat power of 12.7 million Yu and powerful physique, the consumption had reached an astonishing level!

The only remaining Abyssal Guardian had a deep blue crystal on its chest covered in cracks, its light weak; clearly, it was also at the end of its rope.

It struggled to get up from the rock wall, its movements sluggish.

However, the greatest threat did not come from this remaining Abyssal Guardian!

The central dark heart nest, at the moment Lin Yuan spat blood, suddenly stopped its pulsation for an instant!

Immediately, an indescribable, terrifying will that seemed to come from the deepest part of the nine Hells descended like a primordial beast awakening!

"Hum—!!!"

The entire underground space trembled violently!

The fleshy fungal mats and vines covering the rock walls withered and peeled off rapidly, as if their life force had been drained!

The nine deep blue spiritual sub-nests connected to the main nest dimmed instantly, their internal energy being frantically extracted and injected into the dark heart along the "umbilical cords"!

The dark purple membrane on the surface of the skeletal heart writhed and expanded frantically!

A terrifying pressure, far exceeding Tier 6 and making even Lin Yuan's Soul tremble, rolled over like a tangible tsunami!

"Not good! It is forcibly shocking the seventh-order barrier!" Lin Yuan realized instantly, his pupils shrinking!

Once this dark heart successfully promoted to Tier 7, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Not only would the mission difficulty skyrocket, but he himself would very likely perish here!

Must stop it!

A resolute look flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes!

Ignoring his internal injuries, he forcibly urged his power!

He still had six uses of the Myriad Heavens Life and Death Wheel! And one last Myriad Laws Reversal Wheel!

"Myriad Heavens Life and Death Wheel!"

"Hum!" 127 million Yu of power erupted again!

Forcing himself to endure the tearing pain in his Meridians, the chaos heavenly extreme sword erupted with unprecedented brilliant gray light, its tip pointing straight at the skeletal heart that was pulsating more and more violently, its aura becoming more and more terrifying!

"Shatter for me!"

A sword light of life and death, concentrating all of Lin Yuan's power and will at this moment, contained the full power of the Myriad Heavens Life and Death Wheel.

It tore through the trembling space, carrying the resolution to sever everything, and slashed ferociously toward the core of the dark heart!

Just at the moment the sword light was about to hit!

A sudden change occurred!

"Rumble—!!!"

The entire ruins of Thousand Absolute Star City, no, the entire 100 million kilometer region isolated by the myriad laws heavenly stele, began to vibrate violently without warning!

Its intensity far exceeded any previous battle!

"Crack! Crack-crack!"

In the geocentric space where Lin Yuan was located, the extremely sturdy rock layers, like fragile eggshells, were instantly covered with crisscrossing giant cracks!

The dome began to collapse in large chunks! The ground heaved and cracked frantically!
