The current guardian was no longer like the previous ones, who would only attack if one harbored intentions towards the fractured Heavenly Dao will.
This guardian, however, would actively assault them.
If they wished to survive, they had to eliminate this guardian first before considering anything else.
With this thought, under the true crisis of life and death.
Everyone stopped holding back.
As spiritual energy coursed and churned within their bodies, the sluggish spiritual energy they had previously felt was completely unleashed.
For masters at the seventh or eighth layers of the Tribulation Crossing stage, dealing with the sealing of their spiritual energy was not difficult.
Multiple experts at the seventh or eighth layers of the Tribulation Crossing stage unleashed their full power simultaneously, causing the surrounding space to surge and distort.
Unfortunately, this distortion, upon touching the barrier at the edge, seemed to be swallowed, leaving no ripple.
"Boom!"
Around Wang Yangfeng, crimson spiritual energy surged once more.
This time, the temperature around him rose even more intensely, and the space nearby even began to char under the scorching heat.
Even the cold space further away seemed to ignite under the radiation of the high temperature, with bursts of flames occasionally flaring up.
An artificial sun had suddenly risen at this moment.
Its might was such that even other cultivators at the eighth layer of the Tribulation Crossing stage dared not underestimate it.
If they could dodge, no one would have wanted to directly confront Wang Yangfeng's terrifying attack.
Just then, the artificial sun formed by Wang Yangfeng descended with a roar towards the guardian, who had transformed into a majestic middle-aged scholar, as if intending to swallow the guardian whole and incinerate it to ashes.
In response, the guardian's eyes slightly lifted. His pupils reflected the raging inferno.
Yet, even so, his gaze remained indifferent and unruffled.
And in the next moment, just as the artificial sun formed by Wang Yangfeng was about to engulf the guardian.
Finally, the guardian made a slight movement.
With a gentle clap of his hands, his right hand slowly began to twist in the empty void.
"Annihilation."
A faint voice echoed, seemingly unconcerned.
Immediately after, the hand that had been twisting opened.
Before the guardian, an incredibly terrifying, profoundly cold, and dead silent space suddenly appeared.
It was absolute silence, absolute emptiness.
Nothing was there – no spiritual energy, no lifeless meteorites? Nothing at all.
At this moment, as the dead silent space abruptly manifested.
Wang Yangfeng, who had been charging directly at the guardian, felt a profound dread fill his eyes.
He looked at the dark, silent, and void dead silent space, feeling a bone-chilling cold from the depths of his heart.
If he entered it, he would surely die!
At this moment, Wang Yangfeng no longer dared to charge forward.
He forcefully stopped himself and turned to dodge.
But this time, as Wang Yangfeng tried to escape.
The dead silent space suddenly changed, and a desolate wind howled from within.
Faintly, it seemed as if countless decaying spectral hands reached out, attempting to seize Wang Yangfeng and drag him into it.
Simultaneously, an incredibly terrifying suction force, like a black hole, emerged, frantically pulling at Wang Yangfeng who was trying to flee.
Even the brilliant, scorching heat of his previous sun-like form was largely siphoned away, becoming smaller and smaller, like a campfire in a sandstorm, on the verge of disappearing at any moment.
Feeling death approaching, Wang Yangfeng became utterly frenzied, his eyes bloodshot.
He realized he could not break free from the terrifying suction, and the decaying spectral hands were getting closer and closer to him.
Wang Yangfeng could feel that if he made one last desperate effort, there might be a sliver of a chance of survival.
But if those spectral hands touched his body, he would have no hope of escape.
"No, I can't go in! Explode!"
In an instant, intensely hot and chaotic energy surged from Wang Yangfeng's body.
The previously weakening campfire, flickering in the sandstorm, seemed to be experiencing a final burst of brilliance.
The dimming sun suddenly blazed brightly once more.
Then, it grew brighter and brighter, to an almost blinding degree.
It was at this moment that.
"Peng!"
The blinding artificial sun detonated with a roar.
The decaying spectral hands reaching for Wang Yangfeng were vaporized by the sudden self-destruction and the intense heat.
Meanwhile, Wang Yangfeng, weak and covered in blood, looked on with lingering fear.
Although he had escaped successfully with this self-detonation, he was severely injured.
He looked back again, his expression filled with astonishment.
"N-nothing... happened? Not even a scratch? How is that possible!"
His method of self-detonating his attack to escape was not weak; it was akin to injuring the enemy by a thousand while suffering eight hundred.
He had done so for two reasons. First, he was in critical danger with no other options.
Second, he wanted to make a decisive move, to see if this attack could inflict significant damage on the guardian.
But the result was that his self-detonation had only dealt with those ghostly, decaying hands?
There wasn't even a ripple on the dead silent space, let alone any damage to the guardian.
At this moment,
A faint voice echoed again, accompanied by the terrifying suction force and the countless decaying spectral hands that surged once more from the dead silent space.
In an instant, Wang Yangfeng felt a bone-piercing chill spread throughout his body.
"Annihilation."
This time, Wang Yangfeng had no ability to escape.
And in the next moment.
Just as the guardian finished speaking.
Several figures suddenly appeared around him.
Terrifying spiritual energy erupted from their hands.
These were, of course, Li Qi and the others.
They naturally would not stand by and watch Wang Yangfeng perish in vain. However, the series of sudden changes had occurred too quickly.
It was only now that they had the chance to act.
Li Qi and the others unleashed their attacks without reservation. Together, their fierce spiritual energy fluctuations caused the previously unresponsive spatial barrier to tremble slightly.
"Boom!"
Their attacks completely engulfed the guardian, and at the same time, the dead silent space that was about to suck Wang Yangfeng in suddenly closed.
Seeing this, their faces lit up with joy.
