The cultivators from the Ten Directions and Nine Hells could not help but let out a cold snort when they heard this.
“Hmph. It seems you’re determined to walk this road all the way into darkness!”
“In that case, there’s no need for any more nonsense. Kill!”
The moment the words left his mouth, the experts from the Ten Directions and Nine Hells charged toward the Three Realms and Nine Heavens.
“Kill!”
Liu Ruyan shouted loudly. Drawing her sword, she transformed into a streak of biting cold light and charged forward.
The Immortal King closest to her could not even withstand a single strike from Liu Ruyan.
With nothing more than a casual swing, Liu Ruyan shattered the Immortal King’s protective qi layer by layer. The man was sent flying hundreds of meters, a wound so deep that bone could be seen tearing open across his chest. Blood poured out like a waterfall.
“Your opponent is me!”
A dazzling white light flared. Then, an object resembling the sun appeared before Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan seemed to have anticipated this.
A confident smile appeared on her face.
“I knew you wouldn’t stay absent. But the current me is no longer someone you can withstand!”
Liu Ruyan spun her sword in a graceful arc.
The momentum of her sword was now completely different from before.
The slender sword in her hand was covered in a radiance resembling liquid moonlight.
Wherever the blade passed, even the texture of space itself was sliced apart, leaving behind countless fine, cracked patterns.
The Strong Force Shaper summoned several blazing arcs of white-hot plasma to meet her attack.
Each of these arcs was powerful enough to force back an Immortal Emperor.
Yet before Liu Ruyan’s blade, they melted away as swiftly as icicles beneath the summer sun.
“Your power has grown considerably stronger!”
For the first time, an obvious fluctuation appeared in the Strong Force Shaper’s voice.
Liu Ruyan did not answer. She merely turned her wrist and swept out with another sword strike, its momentum far heavier than the one before.
Wherever the sword light reached, the golden-white plasma flowing across the surface of the Strong Force Shaper was forcibly shaved away.
The Strong Force Shaper released a deep, muffled tremor. Its form suddenly contracted, shrinking from the size of a basketball to the size of a fist.
Liu Ruyan swung her sword again, cleaving the Strong Force Shaper and sending it flying. The golden-white plasma tumbled through the air several times before it barely managed to stabilize itself.
However, Liu Ruyan did not pursue the advantage. Instead, she stared at the Strong Force Shaper and coldly said,
“What is it? Are you still planning to endure this head-on? If your ally doesn’t come out soon, there won’t be another chance!”
As soon as Liu Ruyan finished speaking, a crack appeared in the world she had created.
The edges of the crack began to spread silently in both directions, as though a pair of invisible hands were forcing it open from within.
An object stepped out from the fissure.
Unlike the Strong Force Shaper, the thing that emerged this time had no physical form.
At least, in the conventional sense, it possessed no fixed outline.
It resembled a mass of transparent geometric shapes that constantly folded, inverted, and nested within one another.
Edges alternated with curved surfaces. Every transformation caused anyone staring at it to feel a powerful wave of dizziness—
as though their gaze were being dragged along it and forced to turn into an angle that could not possibly exist.
Qin Wuya, who was fighting the experts from the Ten Directions and Nine Hells, saw the suddenly appearing enemy and slowed his movements.
“This… what exactly is this thing?”
The Xiao Family Patriarch burst into laughter.
“Stunned, are you? Now do you understand why we were willing to become pawns? The strength of the person behind all this is far beyond anything you can resist!”
“This is Lord Klein’s Sentinel!”
“He is a self-contained, living labyrinth without beginning or end! What you see now is merely the tip of the iceberg. Only an existence that has transcended space and time can see Lord Klein’s true form!”
The moment these words were spoken, the hearts of the experts from the Three Realms and Nine Heavens sank.
What was this thing? How could it be that only an existence beyond space and time could see its true form?
And what they were looking at was merely a part of its body?!
Feelings of helplessness and despair spread through the hearts of every cultivator in the Three Realms and Nine Heavens.
They noticed the title the Xiao Family Patriarch had used for this being.
Klein Bottle Sentinel!
In other words, an existence this powerful was merely a sentinel!
Liu Ruyan’s brows drew tightly together as she said in a low voice,
“Be careful! Do not let it contain you. Once you are contained, you will never be able to come out!”
Upon hearing this, some cultivators on the side of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens whose wills were not firm had already abandoned any thought of resistance.
Liu Ruyan was publicly acknowledged by everyone in the Three Realms and Nine Heavens as the strongest person alive.
Yet now, even this strongest expert was saying that once someone was contained by the sentinel, they would never be able to escape!
If even Liu Ruyan could not get out, how could the rest of them possibly fare any better?
“Damn it! What exactly is this thing?”
An Immortal Emperor Ancestor of the Ye Family threw a punch at the Klein Bottle Sentinel.
Yet when his attack touched the Klein Bottle, there was no collision and no explosion.
Instead, it smoothly curved onto a trajectory that no one could comprehend.
The attack traveled in a circle within its body before flying back out.
Caught completely off guard, the Ye Family Immortal Emperor Ancestor was struck and injured by his own attack.
“What a bizarre object! Our attacks cannot touch it at all! And it can even return every attack back to us!”
Liu Ruyan stared at the strange object before her, her brows tightly furrowed.
“Everyone, don’t panic. Let’s see whether it has a limit to what it can withstand. We’ll attack together!”
“Yes!”
The cultivators of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens joined forces and attacked the Klein Bottle.
Yet even with so many experts at the level of Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors working together, the result was exactly the same as before.
Their attacks traveled in a circle along that incomprehensible trajectory before flying back at them.
“No! This method is completely useless. With so many of us attacking together, we still can’t break through its limit.”
“Are we unable to break through its limit… or does it simply have no limit at all?”
The moment these words were spoken, silence descended upon the side of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens.
“Facing an enemy like this, I’m starting to feel like I don’t want to fight anymore!”
“How are we supposed to fight this thing? It accepts all our attacks without suffering any harm, then uses those attacks to strike us in return. This…”
Just as everyone was falling into despair, an aged voice rang out.
“Everyone, do not panic. This old man has come to lend you a hand!”

ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers!
