Chapter 31: Breakthrough

"How could Da Yuanman make a move?"

At this moment, everyone failed to understand how Da Yuanman's arrogance could lead him to take part in slaughtering commanders and even soldiers?

Throughout the planar battlefield, all the Underworld soldiers and commanders halted; not a single one dared to challenge Da Yuanman's authority.

"The Bright Divine Realm actually summoned Da Yuanman," Ao De Biao said with a sullen expression.

Lei Si Jing also said, "Let's go, Da Yuanman's joining the battle means we cannot be opponents."

Facing Da Yuanman, even if everyone here fought, they would not be opponents, unless each person possessed the power of a Primordial God.

"With Da Yuanman present, we have done our best," Shawn also said.

Among the divine kings, whether super divine beasts or three‑path mutations, none are opponents, unless, like Lin Lei, a four‑path mutation has gained willpower, then it can contend.

At that moment, a commander of the Ao Gu Si Ta family flew near Magnus, seemed to say something by his side, and then Magnus also turned his gaze toward Shawn and Ao De Biao's direction;

"Not good, run quickly," Ao De Biao's expression changed drastically.

Lei Si Jing was also stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shawn immediately stepped back, intending to explain, but in the blink of an eye, a terrifying binding force descended upon Ao De Biao and Shawn, while Lei Si Jing was instead repelled outward by a massive force.

"These fate rules even possess such a strong binding force."

Shawn struggled with all his might, yet felt as if trapped in a super mud pit; this power, far stronger than the Zijing Space, overwhelmed him, and since he is not adept at raw force, he suddenly sensed an unprecedented helplessness;

"Magnus, the one from the Ao Gu Si Ta family was killed by me, it has nothing to do with my friend; release him."

Ao De Biao's condition was slightly better than Shawn's; he excels at material attacks, so his strength is naturally much greater, yet before Magnus, he is merely a slightly larger ant.

Magnus glanced at Shawn and smiled, "Shawn? So you killed many elders of the Four Beast Clan? And the Xuanwu Primordial God's envoy, Ta Shan?"

"Yes," Shawn nodded.

The surrounding powerful force pressed upon him; although the Primordial Artifact could not wound him, it was still extremely uncomfortable.

"Hahaha, interesting, I also know Ta Shan; never thought he would die by your hand," Magnus said indifferently.

Shawn asked with a smile, "Do you want to avenge him? Or is Da Yuanman now an Ascendant God, also acting on behalf of the Four Beast Clan?"

"You do know how to provoke, but it's useless," Magnus said with a faint smile. "If anyone is to blame, it's your good brother; he killed my friend, so I naturally won't spare his friend."

"Shawn, I'm sorry," Ao De Biao transmitted his voice apologetically.

Shawn helplessly transmitted, "There's nothing to apologize for; regarding this matter, you aren't wrong either."

Previously, when the Ao Gu Si Ta family hunted several of them, Wu Man and Monte Luo pursued Shawn, there were two pursuers of Torres, and three pursuers of Ao De Biao;

But Ao De Biao, as the strongest envoy of the Death Sovereign, possessed two Primordial Artifacts and his own body was a formidable divine beast; when facing three opponents, he still broke through, casually slaying one, only to discover that the person was actually Magnus's friend.

That was terribly unlucky, yet unavoidable, just as if someone accidentally killed Lei Si Jing—Lei Si Jing's identity is known worldwide, but who knows Da Yuanman's friends?

This is why, for ordinary commanders, Da Yuanman is more terrifying than the Primordial God; because the Primordial God, when not offended or when direct descendants are killed, basically does not interfere in divine affairs, whereas Da Yuanman can act arbitrarily for a friend, and he is also god‑level.

"Alright, the time is about right, I've killed you, I still have business to attend to," Magnus, as if playing a game, said with a faint smile; after finishing, a fist‑sized lotus flower shot from his brow and instantly merged into Shawn's body.

Shawn, bound by willpower, had no ability to evade; after the golden lotus entered his body, it immediately dispersed into hundreds of petals that flew toward Shawn's mind.

"Block it for me."

Deep within his soul, Shawn gathered all his soul power, frantically attacking those petals;

But it was essentially useless; even with full force he only destroyed a dozen, and the rest slammed directly into the soul‑defense artifact surrounding Shawn's mind.

The soul‑defense artifact forged from three‑path soul mutations could not hold for long against this move; it began to shatter, and countless petals seeped through the cracks into the soul within the divine stature.

In an instant, Shawn's soul rapidly weakened; the soul pearl deep in his mind immediately released a massive amount of soul power, restoring Shawn's soul.

On one side consumption, on the other restoration, Shawn's soul felt unprecedented agony.

"Is this the feeling of near death? Yet life is restoring!"

Shawn sensed his soul's death, but the powerful soul force of the soul seed was saving him.

In a flash, he felt the bottleneck that had previously stuck him loosen.

"Life and death, mutually breathing~"

So this was the breakthrough I was seeking; at this moment, within his soul, the mysteries of life and death gradually merged into one, and he understood.

"Boom~~"

A force that shook heaven and earth descended from the sky, instantly blasting the smiling Magnus away; all the binding forces also vanished instantly, and Ao De Biao regained his freedom.

"What is this? The Heavenly Earth Law has descended?"

Magnus was also a bit stunned; a breakthrough at this moment?

"Heavenly Earth Law descending? Could Shawn have brought a mid‑rank divine avatar? How foolish would that be?"

"Indeed, bringing a divine avatar in is just sending oneself to death for free, right?"

"Exactly, once the Heavenly Earth Law ends, you still have to die."

Many commanders and even soldiers were discussing that after Da Yuanman's appearance, they gave up, naturally no longer sending themselves to death, and Shawn and Ao De Biao being targeted by Da Yuanman showed them his might, as he effortlessly handled two peak Asuras~

At the spot where the Heavenly Earth Law descended, Shawn was surrounded by a force; he felt something extra within his soul.

He watched as it continued to float, yet no lower‑rank or mid‑rank divine form emerged;

Magnus, Lei Si Jing, and a few commanders' faces changed dramatically; they knew what this meant.

The Heavenly Earth Law moved swiftly; after the divine form returned to the body, it receded, and Shawn opened his eyes, instantly sensing that the surroundings were completely different.

A terrifying sense of control made him feel the surrounding space could be torn apart with ease.

This is the feeling of willpower~

Even without proficiency in material attacks, this is the most solid spatial planar battlefield.
