At this moment, Old Jing was no longer the failure of the past who couldn't use any Sequence abilities but a super strong figure who had hidden his talents and endured for decades, finally erupting.

"Not good!"

The next instant, Zhao Xuan realized something was amiss.

Earlier, in order to take down Old Jing in one strike, he expended too much physical strength and completely neglected his defense.

So now, his body was in a completely unguarded state.

In a duel between masters, both sides can often predict the other's actions.

But even if he predicted it, he had no chance to recover.

Of course, Old Jing wouldn't let go of such a mistake.

"The Saint Sequence also has its reversal, it's just that in the past, I never let this Sequence appear to the world."

"Now, the opportunity has come."

"Heaven is opening its doors to you, Zhao Xuan, prepare to climb the ladder to heaven."

Old Jing muttered to himself...

As the words fell, his body was suddenly enveloped by a golden light seeping from the space, resisting the bombing and tearing of the wolf shadows without suffering even the slightest injury.

At the same time, above the clouds, several phantom chains with thorns suddenly appeared and shot towards Zhao Xuan with blinding speed.

"Clang—!"

The latter had no room to dodge, being completely entangled by the chains, immobilized!

And this was just the start.

Once the chains formed, a silver metallic cross gradually appeared behind Zhao Xuan, hoisting the Quasi-God up and pinning him to the cross.

Zhao Xuan's face changed, and without hesitation, he exerted all his strength, trying to break free from the chains and the cross behind him.

The power of a Quasi-God is so formidable. With fists clenched, his struggle even distorted the surrounding space, sending invisible shockwaves spreading out, pulverizing the clouds within a hundred miles, and even Yun You hiding behind cover felt her eardrums ache from the vibration.

"Crack... crack!"

The chains began to show cracks, but they remained sturdy enough to restrain Zhao Xuan for a few minutes at least.

"Cross God-Binding, the sixth ability of the Reversed Sequence."

Old Jing's voice slowly reached Zhao Xuan's ears.

"Its effect is simple—summon the silver cross used during a Saint's suffering to imprison the enemy within."

"The cross itself is not solid; silver is not characterized by strength beyond weight and flexibility, but it has a trait, which is it possesses a special effect against 'Gods'.

"The higher the Death God rank, the closer to a deity it is, the better its binding effect... For ordinary mortals and Tier One Apprentice Death Gods, it's just an ordinary silver chain, but for Quasi-Gods and True Gods like you, it's a super-spec alloy of sorts, and the more you struggle, the tighter the chains wrap around you."

"And during its release, I enter an 'invincible' state, immovable, yet immune to any form of attack, only ceasing when the enemy dies or breaks free."

"You could say, this move is entirely crafted to counter you."

Speaking, Old Jing slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fierce, even hotter than the surrounding wolf shadows.

"Zhao Xuan, you've lived in this world for almost two hundred years and ruled Nest City No. 3 and the Northern Hemisphere for nearly a hundred."

"Yet under your reign, what has Nest City become? The endless expansion of giant corporations, swallowing farmers' land, rampant gang activities at the lower levels, the districts below Q-number almost entirely in anarchy, civilians' living standards worsening, even less than a hundred years ago."

"You always claim to mediate among all forces, but in the end, accomplished nothing, leaving the entire Nest City No. 3 to plunge into an abyss, letting its ecosystem become this ghostly figure."

"The reason Nest City No. 3 is called the 'City of Crime', you, as the leader of the Shadow Cabinet, Zhao Xuan, must bear the brunt of the responsibility."

"And now, you still intend to ascend to godhood on the power of the Saint's Remains... haha, is it truly to 'change the world', or merely to satisfy your own greed?"

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Old Jing shook his head slightly.

"I have witnessed your 'achievements' with my own eyes. I absolutely cannot let you steal the fruits of success again."

"So today, let's put an end, right here, to the grievances and ideological path between us."

As he finished speaking, Old Jing raised his head and shouted loudly...!

"Wuji, Zaikun, Reiko, act!"

The moment the three names came out of his mouth, three figures appeared unnoticed on the battlefield!

They were Old Jing's first disciple, Jiang Wuji, the second, Chen Zaikun, and appearing for the first time before everyone, clad in black, as petite as Yun You, the fourth, Kasima Reiko!

However, the figure of Kasima Reiko did not seem to be her real body, rather a projection infiltrated into the high clear calculation field by special means.

"Old second, this strike, I attack, you defend!"

Jiang Wuji casually instructed, completely entrusting his back and surroundings to Chen Zaikun without any defensive stance, advancing all-out towards Zhao Xuan!

Clearly, Jiang Wuji had immense trust in his second brother.

And indeed, Chen Zaikun did not disappoint him.

Without any hesitation, he directly rammed into a wolf shadow that was about to attack Jiang Wuji, manually "exploding" it, while lifting two giant rocks to smash on a few other wolf shadows, clearing Jiang Wuji's path of obstacles.

The two had been comrades in arms supporting each other for over a decade, brothers who could entrust their backs to one another.

Chen Zaikun had saved Jiang Wuji countless times, and Jiang Wuji, in turn, defeated numerous foes stronger than himself thanks to such opportunities.

This time, they believed they could succeed as well.

"Tier Five Ultimate Skill..."

In less than half a second, Jiang Wuji broke through the wolf pack's blockade, reaching Zhao Xuan, and stretched out his slightly reddened hand from the heat—

"All Things in the Universe!"

He shouted, driving the Sequence Power within him to operate at full speed!

The unique mechanical electronic sound of the Cyber Wanderer resounded in the center of the battlefield, and with its melody, the earth's scorched dust and fragments suddenly converged at astonishing speed, transforming into millions of sharp, thick "branches" aimed at Zhao Xuan.

At the same time, Kasima Reiko's avatar exerted all her strength to engrave layer upon layer of Cyber Spells on the surface of those branches to increase their speed and lethality.

And then...

"Shraa!!!"

Almost simultaneously, all the branches launched towards the central point, and although nearly half of them were reduced to ashes by the high-temperature wolves during flight, the remaining half still aimed at Zhao Xuan on the cross...

Thud!

The sonic blast echoed thunderously, shaking the entire arena with its tremendous impact.

All Things in the Universe, an ultimate skill card Jiang Wuji comprehended upon reaching Tier Five, with an effect that is simple—unleash all of one's Sequence Power to grant 'life' to surrounding matter, forming millions of sharp, sturdy branches to stab at the target.

Because it consumes enormous power, after execution, Jiang Wuji himself will fall into a drained state, but it doesn't matter, as every opponent who endured this move previously has descended to hell, so even being drained is no worry.

Moreover, this time, his All Things in the Universe was further augmented by Kasima Reiko's assistance, escalating its strength even more.

With the opponent being completely defenseless, Jiang Wuji was confident to kill a Tier Six Apprentice Death God with this move!

But...

That being said, Zhao Xuan was, after all, not a regular Tier Six but a Quasi-God on the verge of Tier Seven.

Thus, when the branches of All Things in the Universe gradually collapsed, people were shocked to find that Zhao Xuan was still alive.

His body was riddled with wounds from the branches, yet he still retained some breath and... his strength hadn't diminished much.

"Continue!"

Seeing this, Jiang Wuji didn't hesitate for a moment, directly deciding to force his already drained body to perform the ultimate skill once more.

But just then, the wolves in the sky, which had already seemed weakened, revived once more.

On Zhao Xuan's body, a layer of blue light emerged, indicating the activation of Sur Particles.

The talent ability of the Quasi-God was triggered.

At this moment, it was a relentless fight-to-the-death scenario.

Everyone would give their all until the opponent fell and died; only then would this slaughter end...
