Whoosh!

Pushed by Zhou Yi, the river space, which had condensed into a tangible entity, received sufficient momentum. Like a sphere, it vanished from its spot in an instant. Propelled by the immense force, it hurtled toward Liu Dan, reaching him in the blink of an eye.

Liu Dan’s eyes blazed with light, though his face remained completely expressionless. Inwardly, however, he was ecstatic, feeling an almost uncontrollable urge to burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!"

With a single thought, he effortlessly dissipated the river space carrying boundless, terrifying might. This phenomenon had been created by him in the first place and remained under his absolute control. Even after being driven back at him by Zhou Yi, it could not withstand a single flicker of his will. Transitioning from the intangible to the tangible was difficult, but reverting from the tangible to the intangible was effortless!

"Enough! More than enough!" Liu Dan laughed wildly in his heart. As his body trembled, lightning crackled violently across the clouds floating in the sky, and electrical arcs surged around the throngs of followers on the ground.

"Not bad at all!"

"Ha-ha!"

"Not bad!"

In Zhou Yi's field of vision, Liu Dan's figure vanished in an instant. Vanishing right along with him were the countless clouds lingering in the heavens and the vast multitude of attendants on the earth!

It seemed as though everything had come to an end!

Yet, the wariness in Zhou Yi's heart did not diminish in the slightest; instead, it multiplied several times over. Alarm bells clanged frantically within his mind. Amidst his dispersed spiritual awareness, a colossal, overwhelming momentum coalesced into a single entity at that very moment, standing out as conspicuously as a blazing sun!

Liu Dan and his followers had disappeared, but this blinding, supreme momentum had manifested, spreading across the heavens and earth like a giant net. And Zhou Yi was the prey trapped beneath this very net!

Whoosh!

Almost by instinct, the mountain-shaped patterns encircling Zhou Yi flickered with the speed of lightning. A black hole reappeared in his left hand, instantly sucking the forming patterns into its depths, whereupon a scroll depicting the universe of heaven and earth swiftly flew outward!

Crack!

The moment the universal scroll emerged, his right hand moved with teleporting speed, materializing before it and striking the scroll with a single palm.

The seventeenth universal world scroll!

The majestic aura emanating from his body surged abruptly, doubling in intensity, and his combat power drastically increased once again in a split second!

"Not enough, still not enough!"

However, even after his power escalated, the premonition of danger in Zhou Yi’s heart did not recede; rather, it intensified at a blistering pace. The overwhelming surge of alarm startled Zhou Yi into tightening his muscles like a frightened rabbit, holding his breath, and driving the magic power within his body at maximum velocity.

Upon the mountain-shaped barrier shrouding his exterior, lines of patterns materialized with frantic haste, before diving like homing swallows straight into the palm of his left hand.

"Hurry, faster, hurry up!"

Zhou Yi screamed inwardly. The peril grew increasingly dense, pressing so close it felt as though it were touching his skin. Yet, the eighteenth universal world scroll he was working on still lacked a few patterns before it could fully take shape. This required time!

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Yi could afford to wait leisurely for the eighteenth universal world scroll to form. No matter how formidable an opponent might be, relying on his all-immune force field and the black water fortified by seventeen universal world scrolls, he could buy himself a moment of time—and that brief window would be more than enough for the eighteenth scroll to coalesce!

But right now, Zhou Yi was frantic. In his perception, the formless, vast net currently pervading the heavens and earth was pressing downward continuously at an extreme speed. Compared to the crushing pressure it exerted upon him, the strength he currently possessed was like a mere ordinary fish facing a giant fishing net!

It was still missing a fraction!

"Just a little bit more, just a tiny bit!"

Even though the intensity of the giant net was terrifying, in his perception, it still fell somewhat short compared to what he would achieve—no, not just somewhat, a considerable margin. However, Zhou Yi possessed absolute confidence: once his eighteenth universal world scroll was fully formed, even if it could not entirely bridge this gap, at least he would not be reduced to a helpless lamb awaiting slaughter as he was now!

"Time! I need time!"

Feeling the colossal net descending rapidly toward him from the firmament, anxiety gripped Zhou Yi's heart. He sensed the progress of the eighteenth universal world scroll's formation again—almost there, any second now, it would be complete!

"There's no time left!"

As if cognizant of Zhou Yi's desperate need for time, just as he anxiously awaited the completion of the eighteenth universal world scroll, a thunderous roar erupted abruptly from all directions, omnipresent!

"Liu Dan!"

Zhou Yi raised his head, glaring furiously at the empty sky. His gaze was as tangible as solid objects, as if he could pierce through the void to behold the various individuals transformed into the intangible components of the celestial net, and precisely pinpoint Liu Dan among them.

Boom!

Yet, Liu Dan offered no reply to Zhou Yi's cry. The celestial net pressed downward instantaneously...
