With Bai Pu’s current Endurance Attribute of 133 points, the Volcano Shield formed can absorb 878 points of damage! He can also call upon Blood River Fighting Qi at any time to replenish the energy of the Volcano Shield.

This is the foundation of Bai Pu’s confidence.

The Shield inherits all of Bai Pu’s activated Damage Reduction Abilities, including but not limited to Talents, Equipment Enhancement, Armor and Magic Resistance, etc.

Of course, when facing Light of Annihilation with a high priority of 10 points of true damage, the only damage reduction method Bai Pu can rely on is Adaptive Evolution - Withered Hide.

Each Light of Annihilation deals 500 points of true damage. However, it’s still short of breaking Bai Pu’s Volcano Shield.

As long as Bai Pu doesn’t get hit by two consecutive shots of Light of Annihilation within one second, he can always channel Blood River Fighting Qi to fully replenish the depleted Shield Value.

Others within the Brahma Heaven Domain panic due to the high damage of Light of Annihilation, and their eyes are dazzled by the endless Golden Light.

Bai Pu reduced the damage from Light of Annihilation and, with the help of the Mystical Arts skill Volcano’s Face, significantly increased fault tolerance. Coupled with his strong Observation, he could calmly observe the trajectory of the Light of Annihilation.

If he could dodge, he would; for the sweeping Golden Light he couldn’t avoid, he would take one hit head-on.

Step by step, Bai Pu gradually approached the position of the Scepter and Earth Dragon Bead.

His Volcano Shield was once shaky under the attack of Light of Annihilation but managed to hold on.

Finally, Bai Pu reached the Scepter and Earth Dragon Bead. He reached out with both hands and touched these two ancient artifacts suspended in mid-air.

The ancient Scepter fell directly into Bai Pu’s hand without causing any trouble.

However, the Earth Dragon Bead exerted tremendous resistance, continually struggling in Bai Pu’s hand like a live fish.

[You attempt to acquire the Ancient Relic: the Dragon Bead (Earth) of Prismatic Saint Dragon King Auriel. You need to pass the test of the Dragon Bead.]

[In the next 10 seconds, you will be fully suppressed by the Brahma Heaven Domain, unable to change position (whether actively or passively), and suffer an explosion from Light of Annihilation every second.]

[The power of the Light of Annihilation explosion is 150% of standard power.]

[If you pass the test of the Dragon Bead, you will gain ownership of this Ancient Relic.]

Bai Pu took a deep breath and replenished the Volcano Shield to full strength again!

He felt as if the surrounding space had become solid, as if he were an insect encased in amber, finding it difficult to move even a limb or utter a word, let alone change his position.

Outside, Oshana was the first to initiate the Mind Pull Magic, trying to pull Bai Pu to her side.

However, the magic failed immediately—the reason was simple, the priority was completely suppressed by the Dragon Bead.

"What to do?" Oshana asked in panic.

"Hercules, can you save him?" Tom was also tense.

In their eyes, Bai Pu was trapped next to the Earth Dragon Bead, with increasingly thicker and stronger Golden Light Arrows shooting towards him.

The red Fighting Qi Shield on Bai Pu’s body was on the brink of breaking under the impact of these enhanced Golden Light Arrows, and all Bai Pu could do was to continuously inject Blood River Fighting Qi to maintain the existence of the Fighting Qi Shield.

Dai Sect shook his head, "I can’t save him, we can only see his fate."

Deep down, Dai Sect knew that Bai Pu looked in danger, but it was not the case.

An initial Boundary Land Master would not fall so easily. If he really couldn’t hold on, Bai Pu would naturally escape this world immediately and return to his Boundary Land.

To kill Bai Pu, a top power from the Natives would have to make a move and use Spatial Sealing Abilities with a priority of 10 points.

Of course, in the internal wars of the Awakened, they could use Bloody Artifacts or military rank suppression to block Bai Pu’s access back to his Boundary Land—that’s the aspect Bai Pu needs to be most cautious about while exploring the Spirit Realm.

At the center of the Brahma Heaven Domain, Bai Pu was making every effort to maintain the Shield’s existence.

Now the power of Light of Annihilation had grown to 1500 points of true damage. Even with Bai Pu’s Adaptive Evolution Talent reducing it by 50%, it was still 750 points of true damage.

Bai Pu’s Volcano Shield Value was 878 points.

Almost every second, the Volcano Shield was on the verge of breaking, and Bai Pu was doing his best to inject Blood River Fighting Qi to replenish it.

For Bai Pu, there were only two words to describe it—exhaustion.

Bai Pu felt as if he were caught in a grinding mill, with layered pressures surging from all directions. If he let even a breath slip, it would mean the Shield breaking and himself perishing.

Bai Pu never felt that 10 seconds could be this long.

Finally, after Bai Pu silently counted, the ten seconds passed.

The Earth Dragon Bead stopped struggling, and Bai Pu quickly stashed it away.

The power of the Brahma Heaven Domain seemed to fade swiftly until it completely dissipated.

Bai Pu found himself able to move. Without waiting for Oshana’s Mind Pull Magic, he quickly used Gang Step to burst out of the Secret Treasure Hall amidst Thunderous Burst!

"Dior, are you okay..." Tom and Oshana both breathed a sigh of relief and gathered around to ask.

"Hurry up! Follow me!"

After shouting this to Tom and the others, Bai Pu delivered a chop to Guide Tano, knocking him out, then shouldered him and dashed along the path they came from, fleeing at top speed.

Tom and Oshana exchanged looks, but only hesitated for a brief moment before following Bai Pu in a rushed escape.

As he fled, Tom glanced back.

The golden power of the Brahma Heaven Domain at the center of the Secret Treasure Hall had completely retreated.

A wisp of Red Mist slowly began to emerge from the void.

The void, like transparent glass, developed tiny cracks that expanded with soft pops.

Bang!

With a thunderous crash, the Spatial Confinement shattered, and boundless Red Mist surged out, sweeping through the entire Secret Treasure Hall, then breaking out through the hall’s gates, flooding outward!

Bai Pu and his group were fleeing for their lives, with the surging Red Mist pursuing like a rising tide.

Ahead of the Red Mist spread an indiscernible force of Suppression.

[You are affected by the True Red Domain, unable to use Displacement Skills below priority level 10, unable to use any Mystical Arts abilities.]

Not only was Bai Pu’s Mystical Arts Ability suppressed, but so was Dai Sect’s.

Red Mist washed over each chamber of the underground ruins.

One by one, the Red Sand Ghosts awoke within the Red Mist, like demons riding the red tide, silently howling towards Bai Pu and the others.

"What to do? The Red Mist is too fast, we’ll never make it to the exit in time!" Tom swallowed hard, his Mystical Arts Abilities also suppressed, and didn’t dare turn back, facing that group of Red Sand Ghosts empowered by True Red Power.
