But with a wave of his hand, the cracks returned to normal.

He seemed utterly unfazed, showing no signs of exhaustion or injury from this battle.

With a hearty laugh, the Celestial Demon Envoy said, "You seem like you’re about to give out. That force of destruction should have spread throughout your body from the point where we clashed. How much longer can you hold out?"

Qin An sneered, "Of course, I can keep holding out, hold out until I’ve killed you!"

The more the Celestial Demon Envoy interacted with Qin An, the more infuriating Qin An’s words became.

Since that was the case, there was no need to say more.

The Celestial Demon Envoy raised his right hand, and a dazzling white light blossomed from his forefinger: "Since you’re so eager to die, let me fulfill your wish. Let’s see how mighty the Secret Technique of Lord Celestial Demon’s power is, and how you plan to withstand this apocalyptic will?"

With those words, the Celestial Demon Envoy unhesitatingly pointed at Qin An’s forehead.

The terrifying light erupted from his finger the moment it approached.

Qin An felt a pressure of life and death spread throughout his body.

He knew that if he couldn’t withstand this strike, the light would pierce through him, and the terrifying power within would cause his body to collapse, leaving only a corpse.

Perhaps not even a corpse would remain, and he might be instantaneously reduced to ashes.

Qin An took a deep breath, then once again wielded the Annihilation Divine Spear.

This time, he pushed the Annihilation Divine Spear to its limits, fiercely clashing with the light.

A terrifying roar echoed once again, and Qin An was sent flying. In mid-air, he twisted his body and landed steadily on the ground.

Yet his face was extremely pale, and even the hand gripping the Annihilation Divine Spear trembled slightly.

The Celestial Demon Envoy took a step forward, "Is that all? You’re a bit disappointing."

"If you were a little stronger, perhaps I wouldn’t find this so boring."

"Even as the Savior, under Lord Celestial Demon’s might, you’re no more than an ant, incapable of stirring the slightest storm."

A trace of gravity flashed in Qin An’s eyes; he was already seriously injured.

When he took the light just now, the destructive force lingered in his body, rampaging like an ocean.

If he hadn’t suppressed it with Void Essence, he might have lost all will to fight.

But how to counter this?

The Celestial Demon Envoy seemed to have suffered no depletion.

Qin An felt a hint of anxiety arise in his heart.

Quickly, he suppressed the anxiety, forcibly calming himself.

He saw the Celestial Demon Envoy raise his forefinger again, from which emanated a terrifying murderous aura, as his mind raced.

In just a few breaths, Qin An suddenly thought of a way to break the situation.

He turned his gaze to the Annihilation Divine Spear in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raising.

"Caught up in the fight, oblivious to the solution—truly does one in the game see less clearly than the onlooker. Why must I keep tangling with you?"

The Celestial Demon Envoy was momentarily stunned, not understanding the meaning of Qin An’s words.

A sense of unease exploded in his heart.

He felt that Qin An was about to pull something big.

The Celestial Demon Envoy hastened, gathering light to strike Qin An in one fell swoop.

But just at that moment, Qin An suddenly leveled his spear.

The Annihilation Divine Spear gathered a destructive force at its tip.

Instead of attacking the Celestial Demon Envoy, Qin An thrust the Annihilation Divine Spear fiercely in one direction.

Cracks appeared in the void where the Annihilation Divine Spear struck, as if shredding the space ahead.

As the space was shredded, a river emitting a rainbow glow appeared.

This river flowed slowly, filled with a tremendous power.

Upon closer inspection, one would find that the force within the river was divided into two and continuously clashed within, as if inherently incompatible, eternally opposing each other.

The instant the Celestial Demon Envoy saw this river, he showed a frightened expression.

This was the Bridge!

Moreover, the Bridge was the connection between the Forbidden Area and the outside world!

If the river was severed, the path to the Forbidden Area would be utterly destroyed. These traitors would not only lose their chance to escape, but they would also be unable to connect with the Defenders of the Forbidden Area. Encased in a barrier, it would become a cage.

"You intend to destroy this?" the Celestial Demon Envoy quickly realized and shouted, "Impossible! Absolutely not!"

He raised his forefinger, the light shooting once more toward Qin An.

Yet as the light was about to touch Qin An, it weakened sharply.

The Celestial Demon Envoy showed a look of shock, puzzled by the sudden change.

But he quickly understood the reason.

The Annihilation Divine Spear transformed into a stream of light, plunging into the river.

The opposing forces within seemingly formed an invisible giant wall, separating them.

As the forces were divided, the invisible wall stood like an insurmountable chasm.

The cracks gradually closed.

The Celestial Demon Envoy felt his power diminish to its utmost limit.

He had crossed the endless space using a Secret Technique—yet with the space’s destruction, his physical body couldn’t withstand the powers of the Forbidden Area’s laws and was weakening to an extreme.

Fear and horror filled the Celestial Demon Envoy’s eyes as he felt a gaze envelop him. Instinctively, he looked up to see Qin An’s calm face.

"Spare me!"

The Celestial Demon Envoy staggered back a few steps, a deathly crisis blooming in his heart.

Qin An stepped forward, his tone carrying an icy chill: "Just moments ago, so arrogant, and now you’re begging for your life?"

The Celestial Demon Envoy roared and lashed out, palm raised toward Qin An.

Though the palm carried a terrifying power, it was far weaker than before.

His power to cross space had been destroyed by Qin An, and the constraints of the Forbidden Area’s laws had already reduced his strength to the minimum.

The Annihilation Divine Spear in Qin An’s hand had vanished, forming a giant wall between the opposing forces.

But that didn’t mean he couldn’t exercise his own strength.

Demon Profound burned, transforming into a potent Qi Blood Power, and Qin An launched a punch that fiercely met the Celestial Demon Envoy’s palm.

The Celestial Demon Envoy felt the powerful Qi Blood Power surge, engulfing him, his right hand exploding into blood mist in mid-air.

His body flew back, emitting a scream.

But the scream was cut short.

Qin An grabbed him by the throat, dragging him back, then lifted his fist high and slammed it into the ground.

The Celestial Demon Envoy howled in pain from a sharp ache in his back, but before he could speak, a fist enlarged before his eyes and struck his face fiercely.

The fist carried a dense Qi Blood Power, making him feel the bones in his face shatter.

The Celestial Demon Envoy was terrified, feeling the fear of death for the first time, and desperately pleaded, "Don’t kill me! If you spare me, I’ll never trouble you again!"

Those who became the Celestial Demon’s lackeys were not ones who feared death.

Quite the contrary, they were people terrified of death.

Faced with death, the Celestial Demon Envoy was even ready to betray the Heavenly Demon.

At that moment, Zhou Wuming and others emerged from the Celestial Cloud Pool.

Upon seeing the pleading Celestial Demon Envoy, Zhou Wuming clenched his fists and shouted, "Mr. Qin, kill him! His hands are stained with the blood of many Defenders. It’s time for him to pay the price!"

Qin An’s gaze swept over the Celestial Demon Envoy, his tone unyielding, like pronouncing a death sentence.

"Yesterday’s cause, today’s effect. From this day forward, all karma is erased."

Under the terrified eyes of the Celestial Demon Envoy, Qin An swung his fist again.

A terrifying boom resounded.

The Celestial Demon Envoy’s body became a heap of ruins, vanishing from this world.
