Demonic Flames Break the Law, Supreme Suppression

In mid-air, Nightmare and the Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being had already exchanged dozens of blows.

With every collision, a large area of space would collapse.

The golden Divine Court Origin and the black-gray Nidao Demonic Flame crazily eroded and dissolved each other, emitting harsh sizzling sounds.

The Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being grew more alarmed the longer they fought.

By all logic, the Cosmic Supreme Realm should completely crush the Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm.

He had already nurtured the rudiment of an internal Universe within his body, and with every gesture, he could draw upon a portion of the power of the world—this level of power, in theory, could easily crush the Origin of any practitioner in the Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm.

But Nightmare's black flame was too bizarre.

That flame not only could resist the erosion of the power of the world, but it was even devouring his Divine Court Origin in return.

Every time they collided, he would lose a sliver of his Origin, while Nightmare's aura was slowly rising.

"What on earth... is this flame of yours?" the Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being asked in a deep voice after pushing Nightmare back with a palm strike.

Nightmare did not answer, merely shaking his slightly numb right hand.

The black-gray flames burned even more fiercely on the Reverse Path Supreme Blade.

"You won't say?" The Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being's eyes turned cold. "Then I'll beat it out of you!"

He formed seals with both hands, and golden light erupted from his entire body.

"Hongmeng Divine Court Barrier—Open!"

Boom!

With him at the center, a golden light shield with a diameter of a thousand zhang instantly expanded, enclosing both Nightmare and himself.

Inside the light shield, countless golden runes circulated, emitting a terrifying pressure that suppressed everything.

This was one of the Divine Court's signature secret techniques, capable of creating a temporary Small World.

Within this Small World, the caster was the Dominator, able to greatly suppress the enemy's combat strength while simultaneously enhancing their own control over the Law.

"In my barrier, no matter how bizarre your flame is, it will have to obediently extinguish."

The Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being sneered and pointed a finger.

Inside the barrier, golden light condensed into countless long swords, shooting toward Nightmare like a torrential rain.

Each sword carried the empowerment of the power of the world, its might far exceeding the attacks of an ordinary Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm practitioner.

Nightmare looked up at the rain of swords filling the sky, a trace of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"A barrier? A Small World?"

He slowly raised his left hand, palm facing upward.

The phantoms of the three keys of dao reversal appeared, rotated, and overlapped in his palm.

Then, he clenched his fist.

"Break."

As the word was uttered, the black-gray flame erupted from his body, not diffusing outward, but contracting, condensing, and undergoing a qualitative change inward.

The color of the flame became increasingly pale, finally almost turning transparent—but that was not true transparency, but "nothingness" itself.

Grandmist Chaos Nothingness Dao Reversal Demonic Star Flame, fully activated.

The next moment, Nightmare threw a punch at the golden barrier.

There was no sound.

No light.

Only a transparent fist imprint, slowly flying toward the barrier wall.

The Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being's pupils constricted.

He felt that wherever that fist imprint passed, the power of the world within the barrier... was disappearing.

It was not shattered, not canceled out, but as if it had been "erased" by something, turning from existence into non-existence.

"This is impossible!" he gasped.

Before the words left his mouth, the fist imprint had already collided with the barrier wall.

Crack.

A clear shattering sound rang out.

Then, the entire Hongmeng Divine Court barrier, like glass struck by a heavy hammer, was instantly covered in cracks and collapsed with a roar.

The backlash from the barrier's destruction caused the Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being to grunt, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

And Nightmare, having seized this opportunity, teleported in front of him.

He raised the Reverse Path Supreme Blade high and slashed down.

"You seek death!" the Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being roared, golden light erupting from his right shoulder as he forcibly took the blow.

Puchi!

The blade cut into the golden light, slashing deeply into his shoulder.

The black-gray flames surged into the wound, crazily devouring his Origin.

"Ah—!"

The Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being roared in pain, striking Nightmare's chest with a palm.

Bang!

Nightmare flew backward, his chest caved in, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

But after landing, he stood firm immediately, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his Battle Intent burning even brighter.

Meanwhile, at the wound on the Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being's right shoulder, the golden light was dim, and his Origin was leaking out crazily.

The black-gray flames, like maggots on a bone, burned at the wound, constantly eroding his Physical Body and Divine Soul.

"You..." the Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being stared fixedly at Nightmare, terror appearing in his eyes for the first time.

"Your power... can directly erase the power of the world?!"

"Only just realized it now?" Nightmare sneered, raising his blade to charge again.

Meanwhile, on the ground battlefield, the slaughter between the United Defense Army and the main force of the Divine Court had reached a fever pitch.

Although the Divine Court had fewer people, everyone was an elite, especially those twenty Cultivators of the Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm, each capable of taking on ten.

Although the United Defense Army had the advantage in numbers, they lacked high-end combat strength and were beaten back step by step at the beginning.

However, the existence of the Dao Reversal Ultimate Killing Array changed the battle situation.

The black protective shield not only had amazing defense but could also continuously release torrents of black-gray flames to attack the Divine Court Cultivators.

Those flames had a strong restraining effect on the Divine Court Origin; many Divine Court Cultivators screamed repeatedly upon contact, their combat strength greatly reduced.

"Decapitation Squad, follow me!"

The Deputy personally led the team, with thirty Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm Cultivators forming a sharp blade, stabbing straight into the core of the Divine Court camp.

Their goal was very clear—to first kill those Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm generals and disrupt the Divine Court's command system.

"Stop them!" a Peak Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm general from the Divine Court shouted, leading five Cultivators of the same rank to meet them.

Both sides collided instantly.

The Deputy faced that Peak general; both were at the Peak of the Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm, with equivalent cultivation.

However, the Deputy had the blessing of a wisp of Nidao Demonic Flame bestowed by Nightmare, which had an Innate restraining effect on the Divine Court Origin.

"Die!"

The Deputy slashed out, black-gray flames burning on the blade.

The Divine Court general raised his sword to block, but the moment the golden light on his sword touched the black-gray flames, it dissolved rapidly like ice and snow meeting fire.

"What?!" The general was shocked, but it was too late to retreat.

Puchi!

The blade swept across his neck, and his head flew up.

The black-gray flames instantly wrapped around the corpse, burning it to ashes.

"The General is dead!"

"How is it possible... the General was at the Peak of the Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm!"

The Divine Court camp was in a commotion.

The other members of the Decapitation Squad also found their opponents, and relying on the restraining effect of the Nidao Demonic Flame, they quickly killed many Divine Court Cultivators of the Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm.

The battle lines began to tilt.

The Cultivators from the surrendered forces, seeing this, had their morale greatly boosted and fought even more valiantly.

Their previous surrender had been forced, but now that they saw the Nidao Alliance might actually win, they were all fighting with their lives—if they won, they would be the meritorious subjects who followed the Dragon; if they lost, the Divine Court would not spare them as "traitors."

There was no retreat, only a fight to the death.

In mid-air, the battle between Nightmare and the Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being had also reached a critical moment.

The Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being's right shoulder was injured, his Origin was constantly leaking, and his combat strength had already dropped by twenty percent.

While Nightmare was also heavily injured, the Nidao Demonic Flame was constantly devouring the opponent's Origin, making him stronger the more he fought.

The one declined while the other waxed.

"I cannot drag this out any longer..." the Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being gritted his teeth and suddenly pulled back.

He quickly formed seals with his hands, a crack opened between his eyebrows, and a golden "Divine Court Token" flew out from the center of his brows.

This was a unique communication treasure for the high-level officials of the Divine Court, capable of instantly crossing billions of distances to send information back to headquarters.

He needed to call for reinforcements.

But how could Nightmare give him the chance?

"Want to call for people?" Nightmare sneered, raising his hand and clenching it.

The power of the three keys of dao reversal fully erupted, and an invisible wave spread out, instantly enveloping a radius of a thousand miles.

That golden Divine Court Token had only flown ten zhang when it seemed to hit an invisible wall and stopped abruptly.

The golden light on the surface of the token dimmed rapidly, and finally, with a "pop," it shattered into countless points of light.

The message transmission failed.

"You..." the Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being's face turned pale.

He finally realized that he might really die here today.

"Escape!"

Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.

He turned and tore through space, wanting to escape into the Void Realm.

But Nightmare had long been prepared for this move.

"Dao Reversal Cage."

As the four words were uttered, the space within a thousand-mile radius instantly solidified.

It was not frozen, but covered by a layer of invisible "power of nothingness," rendering all spatial passages ineffective.

The Suppressing Heaven Supreme Being collided with the invisible barrier and was forcibly bounced back.

He turned to look at Nightmare, despair finally appearing in his eyes.

"Do you really intend to kill me completely?"

Nightmare raised his blade and walked closer step by step.

"From the moment your Divine Court sent people to kill me," he said slowly, "you should have expected this day."

He raised the blade above his head.

The black-gray flames burned to the extreme.
