1139: Chapter 1138 Xuanyuan Makes His Move, a Fifth-Tier Expert

There was no world-shaking roar, nor was there a burst of brilliant light.

Constantine's spear light, which was powerful enough to pierce through a star, seemed to plunge into a boundless dark mire the moment it entered the ten-meter radius in front of Hei Long.

The golden lightning dimmed and disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye. The cold star condensed to its extreme at the tip of the spear flickered frantically, yet it could not advance another inch!

That divine weapon let out an overwhelmed wail.

Miles' fists, capable of shattering stars, smashed into the same area, but it felt as if they had struck the hardest stellar core in the Universe!

The dark red destructive energy erupted and impacted frantically, yet it was like a clay ox entering the sea, worn down and swallowed layer by layer by that gloomy Aura.

A counter-shock force transmitted back, causing his arm bones to throb with pain and his blood to churn.

Hei Long's figure remained as steady as a rock at the center of that violent energy.

In front of his outstretched palm, a miniature, spinning dark vortex slowly emerged, sucking in and crushing the golden spear light and crimson fist energy bit by bit.

“The strength is acceptable, but the technique is crude, and the Law... you have barely even begun to grasp it.”

Hei Long's voice came through the roar of energy, clear and cold. “With this little bit of skill, you dare call yourselves ‘gods’? You are worthy of the title ‘warrior’? Ridiculous.”

“Break for me—!”

Constantine's eyes were nearly splitting. The light of his golden battle armor surged to its limit, and his long spear let out a dragon-like hum as he exerted all his strength to pierce through that dark vortex.

“Roar!!”

Veins bulged on Miles' neck, and his muscles swelled until they were almost bursting. The dark red energy spheres on his fists erupted a second time with reckless abandon, attempting to blow apart that darkness with absolute power!

The desperate outburst of the two finally caused a slight stagnation in the rotation of the dark vortex, and unstable ripples even shimmered at its edges.

For the first time, a flicker of an emotion called 'seriousness' passed through Hei Long's eyes.

“I underestimated your determination. Very well,” his voice turned cold, “I shall let you witness what a true ‘Divine Ability’ is, and the gap... between a powerhouse of the starry sea and native ants!”

His loosely held right hand suddenly clenched tight!

“Black Prison Divine Ability—Star Suppression!”

In an instant, with Hei Long as the center, the light within a thousand-meter radius suddenly dimmed!

It was not the obscuring of clouds, but rather space itself seemed to be stained and swallowed by a thick darkness!

That darkness was not void; it was viscous, heavy, and seemed to possess a physical form!

Countless distorted, fine phantoms of black chains were generated in the darkness. They were not metal, but rather the manifestation of some Law, carrying a terrifying intent of suppression, binding, and swallowing everything!

Constantine's golden spear light was like an insect frozen in amber, shattering and dissipating inch by inch.

Miles' crimson fist energy was entangled and tightened by countless black chain phantoms, quickly dimming.

Even more terrifying was that the power of 'Star Suppression' acted directly upon the two of them!

Constantine felt as if the weight of billions of stars was pressing down on him. His golden battle armor creaked, its brilliant light faded rapidly, and the power surging through his body like a river instantly stagnated, its circulation becoming incredibly difficult.

Miles felt as if he had fallen into the deepest swamp. Every movement consumed hundreds or thousands of times his usual strength. His boiling Battle Intent and blood were forcibly suppressed, and his domineering Aura was ruthlessly throttled by an invisible hand!

The momentum of the two came to a screeching halt. They froze in mid-air, veins bulging on their faces as they exerted every ounce of strength to resist that omnipresent, terrifying suppression. Their eyes were filled with unbelievable horror.

Is this... the power of Tier 5?

The gap was as vast as a celestial chasm!

Hei Long stood at the center of the darkness like a deity in charge of a penal prison. He looked down coldly at the struggling duo and slowly raised his other hand, his fingers slightly curved, aiming at Constantine and Miles.

“It is over. To be able to die under This Commander's ‘Star Suppression’ is your honor.”

The darkness suddenly contracted, condensing in his palm to form a miniature, constantly rotating phantom of a black star. Destructive fluctuations permeated the air.

Just as that destructive black star phantom was about to be released, and at the moment despair was reflected in the eyes of Constantine and Miles—

A streak of purple-gold light, faster than thought, cut into that viscous darkness.

It did not tear its way in, but rather 'flowed' in, as if it were naturally a part of this darkness, yet also like a brilliant galaxy that had suddenly lit up within the darkness, impossible to ignore.

Dragon Xuanyuan's figure, at some unknown point, had already stood half a step in front of Constantine and Miles.

He was still wearing that simple white robe, his black hair fluttering slightly in the invisible force field. His back was not particularly imposing, yet he seemed like an eternally existing mountain, silently blocking all destructive Aura behind him.

He did not even turn back to look at the black star that was about to explode.

He simply raised his left hand, fingers spread, and gave a gentle squeeze toward that rotating black star phantom.

“Disperse.”

There was no world-shaking collision, nor was there a violent clash of Laws.

The black star, which condensed the core power of the 'Black Prison Star Suppression' Divine Ability, was like a snowball thrown into boiling water. The moment Dragon Xuanyuan's hand made that clutching motion, it began to silently melt and decompose from its edges, turning into the purest energy particles, which were then sucked away as if by an invisible sponge, completely annihilated in the air.

Not even a single ripple was stirred.

The heavy darkness covering a thousand-meter radius and those countless distorted chain phantoms also faded and disappeared rapidly with Dragon Xuanyuan as the center, like fading ink marks.

Light spilled down once more.

The terrifying suppression on Constantine and Miles vanished abruptly. The two groaned, nearly falling from the sky, but were caught by the Azure King and the others who arrived just in time.

They looked at Dragon Xuanyuan's back, their eyes filled with shock, lingering fear, and a hint of complexity.

All the Human Race powerhouses below who had been holding their breath let out a long sigh of relief, followed by suppressed whispers and an indescribable excitement. The Alliance Leader had acted!

And with such casual ease, he had neutralized that terrifyingly peerless strike!

However, Hei Long, standing at the center of the darkness, felt completely different from the crowd below.

The moment Dragon Xuanyuan's figure appeared, his pupils constricted to the size of needles!

It was not because of the timing or method of the opponent's intervention, but rather—

This person was clearly standing ten steps in front of him, having blocked a fatal blow for the others, yet he... could not 'feel' the opponent's existence at all!

His vision told him a person was standing there. But in his perception, that position was a 'void'!

There were no energy fluctuations, no life Aura, no traces of Laws, and not even the most basic ripples in space that an existence itself should cause.

It was as if what stood there was an unreal phantom projected from a higher dimension, an 'error' that was out of place in the real world!

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, he would have even thought there was nothing there!

This phenomenon, bizarre to the extreme and violating all his knowledge and combat experience, caused a chill to instantly crawl up Hei Long's spine.

Tier 5!

Definitely Tier 5!

And it was by no means as simple as having just entered Tier 5!
