Hengsheng's eyes immediately widened. Golden rings of light appeared within them, radiating a profound power that expelled falsehood from his mind, heart, and soul, plus the power of the order making him wake up from the veil of illusion.
He sensed the danger was coming right after he woke up.
Reacting instinctively, he executed a defensive technique—Pure Qi surged forth, forming a large white shield before him just as a dark sinister blade of energy struck him.
Crash!
The shield shattered instantly from the crash.
BOOM!
The impact sent him hurtling backward more than ten meters. His feet skidded across the ground before he forced himself to a stop, regaining his balance despite the force of the blow.

—[59 Minutes: 59 Seconds]
Clang!
The sound of metal crashing against each other rang before him.
Hengsheng sweeps his gazes around with his golden eyes, in the sanctum he no longer sees a sea of stars.
The sanctum before his eyes now appeared like a world of strings—the threads of laws. He knew it was due to [Heavenly Insight Mode]. He quickly adjusted his vision, and soon, everything became something he could comprehend.
Clang!
Hengsheng's vision had returned. Still, he no longer saw a sea of stars filled with a billion starlight. Instead, he was now standing in the middle of a dead universe. There was no starlight, The massive god's statue was gone, almost total darkness.
The only light source in the sanctum came from the sky above, from a supermassive black hole—more precisely, from the event horizon surrounding it.
Standing here, he felt as if the darkness was swallowing him.
[Time Remaining]
—[59 Minutes: 58 Seconds]
Clang!
Hengsheng gazes at the battle in front of him, Yunsu is now faced off with Jin Da-Shan.
She was very swift. She jumped into the darkness, disappearing and reappearing to attack her opponent from an unexpected angle with her sharp claws and powerful Qi. Each attack was backed by the power of Dao, bending the laws and reality to her whim.
Jin Da-Shan, on the other hand, was not inferior to Yunsu either. His fighting style was just as barbaric as when he fought as a human. However, Hengsheng noticed something was not right—he could not sense any Qi from Jin Da-Shan at all.
Instead, he sensed an unknown energy in every move Jin Da-Shan made. This energy felt more like magic than even his own mana—it followed Jin Da-Shan's command as if bending reality directly to his whim without the need for a technique.
He conjured a thousand axes, sending them flying toward Yunsu, then expanded himself into a hundred-meter-tall giant and stomped on the ground, before transforming himself into a big black dog chasing after Yunsu.
The fight was intense, with neither able to kill the other. When Yunsu was injured, she healed instantly thanks to her new bloodline. Jin Da-Shan also possessed the same ability. This created a stalemate where neither could tell when the other would succumb to their wounds, leading to an uncertain, endless battle.
[Time Remaining]
—[59 Minutes: 57 Seconds]
Hengsheng noticed that while Jin Da-Shan was fighting Yunsu, he seemed to be focusing on something else as well, as if he were searching for something.
Hengsheng could tell that Jin Da-Shan was trying to find him, but unfortunately for the latter, Hengsheng was now in concealment mode, powered by 100,000 System Points. He could not be exposed as easily as last time at the cultist camp.
BOOM!
Yunsu shot her Beast Ball right at the giant's head, causing it to burst off completely. The impact sent him crashing to the ground—almost the same scene Hengsheng had experienced earlier.
Hengsheng finally calmed himself after the gruesome experience. The illusion had felt real—if he hadn't been pulled out of it, he would have ended up just as he had seen.
He checked the time on the system panel and found that he had been trapped in the illusion for ten seconds. That was fatally long—if not for Yunsu's protection, he might have been doomed this time.
'How could I be trapped in an illusion this powerful?!' Hengsheng thought. Even though Jin Da-Shan had become much more powerful than him, he was still not strong enough to render him completely unable to resist.
It shouldn't have been possible for him to fall into such an illusion without any chance to guard against it.
His Dao Heart could not even react in such a situation. Hengsheng used his golden eyes to observe the entire sanctum.
'Hm… So that's it.' He found the cause. It was not Jin Da-Shan's own power that had almost sent him to the Yama King, but Jin Da-Shan had borrowed the power that existed within the sanctum to empower himself!
Hengsheng's sinister smile curved as if he were a demon, realizing that he had already won the fight.
BOOM!!!
DOOM!!!
Watching Jin Da-Shan in a hurry to find him, attacking a large area, launching random attacks here and there in hopes of forcing Hengsheng out of concealment—unfortunately, Hengsheng was completely invisible. The only one who suffered was Jian Zixuan, who was also in concealment mode, dodging Jin Da-Shan's random attacks.
MEOW!!!!!!
BOOM!!!
Hengsheng understood the other's urgency. Jin Da-Shan was now running to his death as time passed. It was because Hengsheng had activated the absorption system function, draining the power of the sanctum, which greatly affected Jin Da-Shan.
His golden eyes clearly saw what was going on with Jin Da-Shan. For that peak tier 4 power, he somehow has bound himself to the sanctum and borrowed its strength. Jin Da-Shan's very essence had been entirely overwritten—he no longer had any connection to the cultivation world, he couldn't leave this place, and he would die if the sanctum lost its power.
DOOM!!
[Time Remaining]
—[58 Minutes: 54 Seconds]
'Dimensional Essence…' Hengsheng knew this term, it was the essence, the fundamental unit that exists within the dimensional structure, the foundational energy of space-time, realm, or even the universe.
The System World within his Spiritual Symbol also possessed Dimensional Essence. If he wanted to make his System World equal to the cultivation world's dimensional level, he needed to increase and accumulate more Dimensional Essence into the System World to strengthen its Dimensional Structure, making it stronger, more stable, and more structured as an independent dimension.
His System World was very fragile from the outside and could be easily destroyed if something in the cultivation world managed to shatter his Spiritual Symbol.
He did not dare to interfere with it much from the outside, whether it be experimenting with it or trying to strengthen it, since there was a risk of damaging the System World's Dimensional Structure—at least until he reached the peak of the Spiritual Foundation Realm.
However, at this moment, as he absorbed the Dimensional Essence from the sanctum, he could sense that it was strengthening his System World's Dimensional Structure!
It was not a significant strengthening, but he could feel the progression as his Spiritual Symbol—the vessel of the System World—became more and more durable as it continued to absorb the Dimensional Essence from the sanctum.
'How could this place even possess the Dimensional Essence anyway?' Hengsheng thought.
"Show yourself, coward!" Jin Da-Shan roared.
BOOM!
Hengsheng completely ignored Jin Da-Shan's curses and deftly dodged the numerous attacks falling onto the sanctum's floor.
'This man has sealed his fate,' Hengsheng thought.
Meowwwwwwww!!!
Yunsu jumped into the air toward Jin Da-Shan's giant body, landed on his face, bit frenziedly, and ripped it off.
"AHHH!!!" Jin Da-Shan screamed. He was no longer a proud prince anymore. The moment he decided to become a Rakshasa, his fate was sealed—his soul and body had merged with other hundreds of cultists. In fact, the real Jin Da-Shan had already died the moment Rakshasa Jin Da-Shan was born.
DOOM!
[Time Remaining]
—[45 Minutes: 34 Seconds]
Hengsheng gazed at the stone table that had an elemental seal on it. He saw Jian Zixuan, in concealment mode, slowly retrieving the seal without letting Jin Da-Shan notice it.
"Yunsu, distract him for a moment," Hengsheng sent a sound transmission to Yunsu.
The cat nodded, then enlarged her body to match the giant Rakshasa's size, sacrificing her superior mobility as she launched herself at the giant's neck with greater strength.
Seeing this opportunity Jian Zixuan quickly retrieved the seal and immediately dashed toward the exit.
BOOM!
The giant pushed the giant cat back.
"You dare!" Jin Da-Shan roared. He had already expected a move like this. He transformed himself into a long and thin serpent, lunging through the air toward the seal like a living spear. Even though the target was invisible, he knew its location because he had marked the seal with his aura.
Flew!
Jian Zixuan noticed the chase and turned pale, having already witnessed the other side's strength for some time—he knew he was no match for the opponent.
However, just before the serpent could reach Jian Zixuan, a gigantic wooden hand suddenly appeared and slapped the serpent, pinning its body to the ground.
Crash!
"I dare…" Hengsheng spoke.
