393: Assassination and backhand

It was at the earth-shattering moment when Blood Heaven detonated the blood sea and the four Quasi-Saints were drawn away!

Xiao Zhuo, completely integrated into the darkness itself, was hidden in the deepest and densest shadow cast by the huge pillar of the Sacred Hall. The Heavenly Illusion Sacred Art within his Main Body was operating at an unprecedented limit!

His aura was completely suppressed, and his form and spirit vanished!

In this state, even Dilamon and other Saint-Grade existences from other boundary realms, when they first emerged, their immense Divine Thought that swept through the hall failed to capture him in the slightest!

Of course, Blood Heaven's boundary realm-shaking attack almost completely absorbed all their attention and vigilance, and they did not meticulously check whether there were any foreign races still lurking within the Sacred Hall.

At this moment, on the throne.

The ethereal blue giant controlled by Dilamon was rapidly collapsing, returning to his Main Body.

His face was as pale as a dead man, his aura extremely weak, and sacred crystal blood, shimmering with an eerie blue-gold luster, constantly overflowed from the corners of his mouth—the backlash from the annihilation of his Split Soul, coupled with the consumption from the previous battle, had already worsened his injuries!

"Cough... cough cough cough..." He gasped urgently, each cough pulling at his internal organs, bringing out more blue-gold blood foam. His voice was hoarse like a broken bellows, "Damn... Demonic God's evil spawn! When this Main Body captures you back... I will definitely extract your soul, refine your spirit, eternally suppress you in the Sacred Furnace... and drain every drop of your filthy blood!"

Dilamon roared venomously, struggling to raise his trembling hand, attempting to draw upon the Origin Power of this Sacred Hall to repair himself.

Threads of ethereal blue light points, like living fireflies, seeped out from the hall's ceiling, the ground, and even the Void Realm, slowly converging towards him, beginning to repair his Divine Body.

However, just behind him, only ten zhang away!

In the deepest, densest core of the shadow cast by the giant pillar supporting the dome, a pair of silver eyes, cold enough to freeze time and space, silently opened!

The silver light of breaking through illusions flowed deep within his pupils, like the coldest starlight at the beginning of the Universe, firmly locking onto the weakened figure on the throne.

The moment!

Just as Dilamon's mind slackened slightly due to intense pain and healing, concentrating all his will on absorbing the Origin light points—

Buzz!

Without warning! The shadow beneath the corridor pillar seemed to be torn and twisted by an invisible giant force!

Space let out a groan of unbearable strain, like fragile glazed glass!

A figure, imbued with an ultimate killing intent that could tear everything apart, stepped out from the shattered shadow!

Fast!

Beyond thought, beyond perception! It was a fatal blow, condensing all of Xiao Zhuo's essence, Qi, and spirit, honed to its Peak!

The silver light of breaking through illusions in his eyes suddenly burst forth, as brilliant as the last moment before a supernova's annihilation!

The jade blood saber in his hand was already poised! On the saber's blade, dark gold lightning violently exploded, emitting a low roar, and green and red Qi intertwined and roared like evil Dragons!

"Slash!"

No roar, no shout! Only a judgment sound, cold to the bone, condensing endless killing intent!

An extremely condensed dark gold saber Qi suddenly lit up!

It was no longer just a saber light, but the first trace of dawn that tore through eternal darkness, announcing the end!

Ignoring the obstruction of space and time, as soon as it appeared, it had already slashed towards Dilamon's unguarded back!

"What...? !" Dilamon's mind went blank instantly!

Although he had a hint of doubt, he never expected that the deadly hunter would be lurking in such close proximity, in the shadow of death!

Deadly chill!

It was as if billions of ice needles instantly pierced his bones! The shadow of death had never enveloped him so truly as it did at this moment!

Hasty! Too hasty! He didn't even have time to complete a full turning motion!

He could only rely on the combat instinct honed over billions of years of bloody battles, desperately and frantically injecting all the remaining power in his Main Body into the seemingly inconspicuous gray robe he wore!

Buzz—!

The gray robe instantly burst forth with dazzling ethereal light!

Countless complex and profound dark gold demonic patterns, dazzling to the eye, emerged and intertwined, forming a solid and heavy energy shield, firmly protecting his back!

At the same time, a hint of extreme madness and heartache flashed in Dilamon's eyes, and he fiercely bit the tip of his tongue!

Pfft—!

A large mouthful of blue-gold sacred crystal blood, containing his life essence, spurted out!

"Origin Heart Protection! Sacred Hall Sealing—Activate!!!" He used his last shred of Qi to let out a distorted, shrill scream!

Crack—Snap—Boom!!!

The dark gold saber Qi, imbued with the divine will of thunder that could destroy the heavens and earth, domineeringly slashed at the hastily condensed energy giant shield!

Crushing everything!

The seemingly indestructible demonic pattern giant shield was as fragile as paper in front of the saber Qi fused with the divine will of thunder! After only a billionth of an instant of stalemate, it exploded with a bang, turning into a sky full of fireflies!

The saber Qi's momentum did not diminish in the slightest, carrying a terrifying will to sever Karma and destroy wan fa (myriad laws), fiercely slashing into Dilamon's back!

"Ugh Ah—!!!!!"

A scream, so shrill it was inhuman, containing endless pain and disbelief, suddenly tore through the deathly silence of the Sacred Hall!

Blue-gold sacred crystal blood, like a breaching flood, gushed out from the huge wound on Dilamon's back that almost split him diagonally!

The scorching sacred crystal blood splattered on the cold sacred crystal stone ground, making a "hissing" burning sound, and strange blue-gold mist rose!

He was like a dilapidated puppet hit head-on by an ancient divine mountain, violently sent flying by that irresistible immense force, and with a "bang" a loud noise, he heavily crashed into the indestructible sacred crystal stone base of the throne!

Even the sacred crystal stone, reputed to be immortal, was shattered like a spider web, with stone chips flying everywhere!

However! Just as he let out a scream and his Main Body flew out of control!

It also seemed to trigger a certain Restriction.

Buzz—!!!!!!

The entire Sacred Hall, no, the core area of the entire giant city, suddenly shook! As if a sleeping primordial beast had been completely awakened!

Countless gigantic pillars of light, older and deeper than the previous barrier/boundary outside the Sacred City, flowing with dark gold and ethereal blue intertwined runes, erupted without warning, as if growing out of the Void Realm, from every inch of the hall's floor, every wall, and every part of the dome simultaneously!

These pillars of light were not for attack, but instantly intertwined, connected, and coiled wildly upon appearing! Rapidly constructing like living things!

In the blink of an eye, a colossal, inverted bowl-shaped cage, pieced together from countless prism-like light walls, completely enveloped the entire core area of the Sacred Hall!

On the light walls, dark gold and ethereal blue runes wildly flowed and flickered, emitting a terrifying aura that could freeze time and space, isolate all Dao, and crush Law!

An unimaginably heavy World Power, as if bearing the entire Void Holy Realm, descended with a roar! Completely solidifying and sealing this space! Severing all internal and external connections!

After Xiao Zhuo's saber Qi severely wounded Dilamon, its momentum was exhausted.

His figure was like lightning, and he was about to press the attack, completely eliminating this grave hidden danger!

But his figure suddenly froze!

An invisible, intangible, yet irresistible terrifying binding force, like billions of icy chains, instantly wrapped around and tightened every inch of his flesh, bones, and even the flowing Zizai Immortal Power throughout his Main Body!

Not just the Physical Body! Even the Zizai Immortal Power within his Main Body, which was surging and roaring, almost breaking out, suddenly slowed down by thousands of times!

Even his incomparably powerful Divine Thought, when extending outwards, was like being trapped in amber solidified for ten thousand years, heavy and viscous, making it difficult to move an inch!

He suddenly looked up, the light of breaking through illusions flashing rapidly in his silver eyes, scanning the dark gold light walls above and around him, which flowed with vast World Power, and his pupils suddenly contracted to pinpricks!

Origin barrier/boundary! This was by no means an ordinary Restriction! This was an absolute cage formed by directly mobilizing part of the Origin of this Void Holy Realm!

"Cough... cough cough cough... Ha... Hahahaha!!" Dilamon struggled, crawling up from the shattered crystal pile like mud, leaning against the cracked throne base, spitting out large mouthfuls of blue-gold sacred crystal blood, his aura as faint as a candle in the wind.
