The moment Lyan appeared, an extremely short staff materialized in his hand.

With a slight thrust, the staff shot forward like a cannonball, golden light blazing from its tip.

Within that radiance, countless stars seemed to be extinguished while innumerable living beings vanished into nothingness.

It was unmistakably the aura of the Law of Destruction.

Black and white intertwined around the staff, carrying an unimaginably terrifying aura of life and death.

The power was formless and ever-changing.

When black reached its absolute limit, it transformed into white.

When white reached its absolute limit, it returned to black.

Within that cycle, even the embryonic form of the Law of Life and Death could faintly be perceived.

The instant Lyan threw the staff, it accelerated to a speed hundreds—perhaps thousands—of times faster than Hevin’s.

The tip struck Hevin squarely in the back.

"Pfft!"

Agonizing pain erupted through Hevin’s body.

His figure froze in midair, and despair instantly filled his heart.

"It’s over."

"Lyan possesses several different laws—the Void Law, the Law of Destruction, and even the Extreme Dao Law."

"Against three laws, I have no chance of defeating him!"

All three laws pursued the absolute limits of speed and destructive power.

They represented the ultimate extremes of all things.

When applied to speed, they made Lyan incomparably faster.

When applied to an attack, they pushed its destructive power to the absolute limit.

Even when used for defense, they could form an extraordinarily formidable barrier.

At that moment, Lyan had empowered himself with all three laws.

The instant his staff pierced Hevin’s back, the terrifying aura of the Law of Destruction erupted.

A blinding golden light burst from Hevin’s body.

Within only a few seconds, it completely consumed him.

Hevin, a High God-level powerhouse of the Tower of Myriad Treasures, died on the spot.

At the same time, a perfect crimson Plane Origin appeared in midair.

Lyan’s figure flashed.

In the next instant, the Plane Origin was already resting in his palm.

Feeling its tangible weight, Lyan smiled.

"I knew it."

"With my current strength, advancing to the elimination round was only natural."

Just as he prepared to store the Plane Origin and leave this plane, returning to the main universe—

A dark figure suddenly appeared before him.

It was John.

Several seconds earlier, John’s Divine Sense had already enveloped the entire plane.

Not even the slightest disturbance could escape his perception.

The moment Lyan appeared, John had immediately locked onto this opponent who wielded three different laws.

Once his Divine Sense had identified Lyan, catching him was merely a matter of time.

With a single thought, John could appear directly in front of him.

However, Lyan was no ordinary opponent.

The instant John appeared, he reacted immediately.

His figure blurred as he attempted to conceal himself within the void, showing no intention of fighting whatsoever.

After all, he had already obtained a Plane Origin.

As long as he escaped Plane No. 1, he would have won and successfully advanced to the elimination round.

Lyan’s plan was flawless.

Unfortunately, his ability was nowhere near sufficient to carry it out.

John calmly watched him flee before activating his Space-Time Domain.

"Space-Time Domain."

"Spatial Lockdown."

The moment the Space-Time Domain appeared, it rapidly locked down every inch of space in the surrounding region.

Countless Void Rifts emerged simultaneously, sealing off every possible path of retreat.

John possessed the Space-Time Law.

He could alter the state of the surrounding space whenever he wished.

At that moment, he mobilized the Spatial Origin and manifested the spatial dharma form of a Primordial Desolate Beast.

In only an instant, countless Void Rifts appeared throughout the space around him.

At first, there was only a single white line.

Then there were two.

Three.

Ten thousand.

A million.

Until finally, billions upon billions of Void Rifts filled the entire region.

The densely packed rifts fused together, as though an entire layer of space itself had been peeled away.

"Suppress!"

John let out a low roar.

A violent tearing sound immediately echoed throughout the surrounding space.

Lyan, who had already entered the void, was instantly sliced apart by countless Void Rifts.

His body shattered into trillions of particles suspended in a state of nothingness.

John then used the Void Rifts to send every single particle into a different spatial dimension.

Lyan could not possibly be any more dead.

The instant John killed him, a series of notifications rang beside his ears.

[Ding! Congratulations on killing a ninth-stage High God-level powerhouse.]

[Experience gained: +31,316,845,272,451.]

[Gold Coins gained: +316,484,224,616.]

[Fame gained: +61,648,723,764.]

[Plunder activated.]

[Extreme Dao Law Insights gained: +16,462.]

[Current comprehension progress of the Extreme Dao Law: 10%.]

[High God-level items plundered: +3,136.]

...

The superior law of the Void Law was the Spatial Law.

In other words, from the moment Lyan appeared here, he had already been fundamentally suppressed by John.

As long as John sealed the surrounding space, Lyan would be completely trapped.

Under the cutting force of the Void Rifts, he had no possibility of survival.

He was sliced into trillions of particles before he could even understand how he had died.

At that moment, John manipulated a Void Rift and transported the Plane Origin back to himself.

When he attacked earlier, he had deliberately separated a section of space to protect the Plane Origin from being destroyed by the rifts.

The instant the Plane Origin landed in his palm, another notification sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a Plane Origin.]

[Please leave the current plane as soon as possible.]

[Notice: As long as you continue holding the Plane Origin while leaving this plane, you will qualify for the elimination round.]

...

John paid little attention to the notification.

There were still countless High God-level powerhouses remaining in this place.

To the other participants, they were competitors.

To John, they were tempting piles of resources.

Furthermore, the strongest people here were only peak High Gods.

Although most of their possessions were useless to John, they could still be exchanged for a considerable quantity of Originstone.

John had consumed an enormous number of treasures to obtain enough Originstone for the auctions in the Heroic Spirit Corridor.

This was the perfect opportunity to replenish everything he had spent.

Since he was already here, there was no possibility of him leaving empty-handed.

With that thought, John released his Divine Sense and identified every High God of the Skyvault Consortium within the plane.

After counting them carefully, he discovered that there were only a few hundred.

He then raised his hand and summoned numerous Void Rifts, transporting all of those High Gods into a separate, secure spatial domain.

Now that his allies had been removed from the battlefield—

It was time to clear the entire map.

"Great Sound Art!"

John shouted as he unleashed the forbidden spell.
