Qi Xing abruptly stopped in his healing motion.

The entire battlefield seemed to fall into a deathly silence at that moment.

"Qi Xing!"

Honglian and Lei Ze let out desperate roars.

However, Qi Xing, whose chest had been pierced, showed no shock whatsoever.

He glanced down at the hand on his chest, his eyes unusually calm.

As the team's core healer, he had long been prepared to be the first to be killed. In fact, this was part of their plan.

"cough......"

He spat out blood, and his health points instantly dropped to zero.

But the next second, he smiled, a smile full of determination.

"Everyone!"

Qi Xing used the last bit of strength in his life to roar wildly to the sky.

"The time has come!"

After saying that, under everyone's gaze, Qi Xing did not back down or struggle, but instead suddenly raised both hands and grabbed Mr. Duan's right hand that was protruding from his chest.

Their fingers gripped tightly.

A hint of doubt flashed in Mr. Duan's eyes from afar. A doomed support, a last-ditch counterattack?

Such methods meant nothing to him. In the next second, he would activate the laws of space to completely tear Qi Xing's body apart.

As a result, a sudden change occurred.

Qi Xing instantly emitted a golden light, transforming into a golden figure. From his hair to his toes, even the blood he spurted out turned into indestructible gold in that instant.

In this state, he was immune to all attacks; even the laws of higher dimensions could not leave a scratch on his golden body. But the price was that the caster would forever become an immobile statue.

Mr. Duan frowned. He tried to pull his right hand back, but found that the arm that Qi Xing was holding was as if it were cast in metal, and it did not move at all.

Because his right hand was grabbed, he can't move himself now.

Even with world-destroying power, he was forcibly frozen in place by this force of rules in that instant.

Three seconds!

The moment Mr. Duan was restrained, Mingze, who had been silent all along, roared out with bloodshot eyes.

"We only have three seconds!"

This was the only chance that Qi Xing had earned with his life.

"kill!"

Lei Ze, Yan Sui, Bo Ning, and the others also roared and unleashed all their energy to rush towards Mr. Duan.

Without holding back, they unleashed the remaining magical power within their bodies. Thunder, earth, and mental storms transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards Mr. Duan, who was frozen in place.

However, Mr. Duan remained completely calm in the face of everyone's desperate attack.

He merely frowned slightly, his eyes remaining cold. Even though he was under control, these people's power couldn't harm him in the slightest. These attacks, landing on him, weren't even enough to break through the high-dimensional defenses that automatically circulated around his body.

As a result, Fen Tian, who was at the very front, reached an extreme speed.

He didn't unleash any fire skills, but instead stopped abruptly less than half a meter away from Mr. Duan.

Golden light emanated from Fentian's body, and his skin began to crack inch by inch. A terrifying energy that made the entire ruin space tremble was being compressed wildly within his body.

Mr. Duan's usually indifferent face finally showed shock.

His pupils suddenly contracted as he stared intently at the Heavenly Flame before him.

Self-destruction?

A peak SSS-level fire-type expert is about to detonate all of his primordial laws!

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Fentian completely detonated his source, and the destructive power rushed towards Mr. Duan.

Fen Tian's body instantly transformed into a ball of golden light.

This is no ordinary flame, but the essence of a law cultivated throughout the life of an SSS-level fire-type expert, compressed to its extreme.

The surrounding temperature skyrocketed. Moisture in the air evaporated instantly, and even space itself seemed to warp under the intense heat.

For the first time, Mr. Duan's usually indifferent eyes showed a strong fluctuation.

"Are you crazy?!"

Mr. Duan's voice was filled with disbelief. He never imagined that these powerful figures from the old era, who once revered him like gods and would do anything to survive, would now choose to be annihilated without hesitation in order to deal with him!

Burning Heaven did not answer.

His face, cracked and gleaming with gold, was now calm.

boom!

In the instant of the explosion, the terrifying energy directly destroyed the medium through which sound travels.

The entire world seemed to fall silent. A burst of pure golden light erupted from the center of the blazing sky.

The golden light instantly engulfed an area of several hundred meters in radius. Wherever it passed, whether it was obsidian ruins or steel buildings, it instantly vaporized, leaving not a trace of ash.

In the core area of the explosion, the space could not withstand the force and began to crack repeatedly.

Click! Click!

Fine black cracks spread wildly in the golden light.

The self-destruction of an SSS-level powerhouse tore apart the spatial barrier of the Eighth World Ruins. Black spatial rifts intertwined and spread, exuding an aura of nothingness.

Mr. Duan had nowhere to escape, and one of his hands was firmly held by the golden statue that Qi Xing had transformed into.

"Protect!"

Mr. Duan's face was gloomy, and the transcendent laws within his body surged, condensing dozens of layers of pitch-black high-dimensional defensive shields in front of him.

But these shields were incredibly fragile in the face of Burning Sky's self-destruction.

The first layer shattered.

The second layer shattered.

The third floor...

Golden energy, mixed with the cutting power of spatial rifts, frantically tore at Mr. Duan's defenses. His black suit was damaged for the first time, the hem ripped by the energy, revealing skin that faintly glowed with black light.

His body trembled violently from the impact, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

Damn it!

Mr. Duan cursed aloud. He finally felt threatened; the power of this self-destruction was enough to shake his high-dimensional divine status.

But this is just the beginning.

The aftershocks of Fentian's self-destruction had not yet dissipated when Lei Ze, Yan Sui, and Bo Ning behind him exchanged glances.

There was no verbal communication, nor any hesitation.

Lei Ze took a sudden step forward, and the purple lightning all over his body instantly flowed back into his body. A dazzling golden light, just like that of Fen Tian, appeared on the surface of his skin.

"Old Huo, I'm here to keep you company!"

Lei Ze roared and transformed into a bolt of golden-purple lightning, crashing straight into Mr. Duan's defensive shield.

boom!

Raize's self-destruction, imbued with the ferocity of the Thunder Law, slammed heavily into Mr. Duan's crumbling high-dimensional defenses.

A golden-purple light shot into the sky, merging with the golden light left behind by the Burning Heaven, illuminating the ruins' sky in a scene of utter devastation. The spatial rifts widened, churning violently within the light.

Mr. Duan's defensive shield was torn apart more than a dozen times.

Click!

A cracking sound rang out. Mr. Duan's right hand, which Qi Xing had been holding, suffered a broken bone from the impact of two consecutive SSS-level self-destructions.

"You bunch of lunatics!"

Panic flashed in Mr. Duan's eyes. He desperately tried to escape by activating the laws of space, but the golden statue that Qi Xing had transformed into pinned him to the spot.

Next came the rock fragments.

This burly man strode towards the center of the explosion. With each step he took, the golden light emanating from his body intensified.

"You gave us hope back then, and then you destroyed it with your own hands."

The deep, resonant sound of shattering rock echoed through the turbulent energy flow.

"Today, we'll give you back your life!"
