Unfortunately, no sooner had he sprung up from the ground than, like a fish slapped onto the chopping board at the market, he writhed for an instant and then lay sprawled on the ground, lifeless.

The War God took off, the War God died violently.

It all happened in one breath.

From a feigned corpse, he became a real one.

Only on the back now exposed as he lay on the ground, there was a ghastly gaping hole.

Blood mixed with the fragments of his innards oozed out slowly.

Amid the bloodied encroachment, a Spiritual Hand materialized out of thin air. After piercing through the broken body, the Dissociation Technique crushed the Matrix and drained the last of the Superior Essence, then dissipated without a trace.

On that twisted face smeared with mud and blood, a pair of eyes were wide open, bewildered in death.

He had no idea what had happened.

How had he been exposed?

Only Ji Jue finally heaved a sigh of relief. As sweat soaked his back, he couldn't help but touch the back of his head.

Among the strands of hair, the tiny infrared camera fixed there was still dutifully working, along with many other cameras on his back and chest, capturing the environment in a 360-degree sweep without any blind spots.

Feeling dumb now? I know how to keep watch!

Professor Ye once said well, when entering the Time Ruins or exploring the Crack Realm, or touching ancient tombs, you should grow an eye even on the back of your head.

Ji Jue wasn't from the Vortex System, nor did he have any related blessing; naturally, he couldn't literally grow eyes.

But it didn't matter, these days it seemed like everything was expensive, except for cameras, which got cheaper every year. He hadn't even used up all the extras that came with his drones.

However, while hastily looting the corpse, his movements suddenly paused for a moment.

His smile vanished, leaving only grimness.

"This is bad..."

He looked up at the sky.

At that moment above the vault of heaven, crimson and darkness spread and changed ceaselessly, accompanied by the constant spreading of thunderous quakes and storms, even with Ji Jue's use of the Blessed Creation's Transcendent Vision, it was hard to make out the specifics under the high-speed offense and defense of the Rebirth Rank.

But undoubtedly, at the center of that storm was Tong Shan!

Telekinesis surged like a tidal wave, roaring and rushing.

Facing head-on the group attacks of two of his Rank, Yan Chong and Ling Zhi, he was in a two-against-one situation and yet not at a disadvantage. No, not only was he not at a disadvantage, but it seemed he was actually overwhelming them!

Is this really All Control?!

Ji Jue's expression twitched repeatedly, in awe: Could this be what they call a pro player?

Telekinesis, one of the most common types of abilities and also famed as the most versatile, offense, defense, movement, control, it lacked nothing, which also meant, quite possibly, it was mediocre in all aspects.

All Control, the Heavenly Origin System's most common Matrix, due to its versatility and compatibility, was widely favored by many Chosen Ones of the Heavenly Origin System. Having no weaknesses meant... it likely had no significant strengths either.

After all, even with the same Telekinesis, there were many different habits of operation, thus extending into classifications like vector interference, fulcrum manipulation, mental extension, and force field control.

And in terms of biases in what they controlled, there were also divisions like tangible objects such as metal and liquid, and intangibles such as gas and energy, not to mention some people excelled at manipulating large objects, bringing mountains crashing down, while some preferred guiding dust and dewdrops, subtle and silent…

And of all these classifications and factions, according to Tong Shan's words—he knew a little about all of them!

From intricate operations to widespread suppression, from controlling tangible objects to harnessing intangibles, not to mention the many manipulation methods, he mastered and excelled in them all; in the application of Telekinesis, there were no weak points!

"Not all precious matrices are specialized types that are hard to come by," he mused. "It's just that only the All Control, which shows no bias and adapts to all ranges, is the most suitable path for me!"

At this moment, under the Burning Star phenomenon, flame light spiraled from the chaotic gravity flows, forming an eye of the storm that cocooned Tong Shan within its protection. With deft utilization of opposing forces, he redirected the blades that leapt from the shadows.

Unscathed!

Yan Chong's face grew increasingly grim. The shattered sword in his hand howled with thirst, yet it hadn't even touched a corner of Tong Shan's clothing.

This guy, from the very beginning, was determined to drag this out...

"What's the matter, gentlemen? Stuck on a tiger you can't dismount?"

With a flamboyant wave of the Flag of Burning Star, Tong Shan's casual voice floated over, "I suggest you quicken your pace, or else all your lackeys will be slaughtered."

"Damn it, you little bastard..."

In Yan Chong's bloodshot eyes, flames burned in the most literal sense, his entire being like a monster wrapped in blood and fire, with eyes angrily springing open across his forehead and cheeks.

He suddenly opened his mouth, roaring.

But there was no sound.

Only within the faint blood-red ripples, countless sounds of rupturing could be heard. On the ground, the dead bodies rapidly decayed and disintegrated, their spiritual essence vanishing without a trace.

Meanwhile, the shattered sword in his hand grew a spine from nothingness, drawing on the death and despair of his underlings. Through self-catalysis, a bizarrely long sword several dozen meters in length formed.

In front of the sword blade, the raging storm ceased abruptly, every wave of telekinesis crumbled and fell apart.

Under the blessing of "Blood and Fire Exist Together," which burned residual spirits without limit to fuel his own power, and with the foresight of "anticipate the enemy," every direction and trajectory Tong Shan might dodge to was thoroughly blocked. Then, a streak of bloodlight broke through all obstructions and surged forward!

In the briefest of moments, from the commencement of the battle to the present, the hidden trump cards were revealed. An unknown number of blessings interlinked, forming the high-rank effect "Oath Blood Struggle," forbidding both sides from evasion and retreat!

Every avenue of escape and concession was eradicated for both parties. It was as if even space itself was completely warped, in every possible direction, no matter where Tong Shan tried to dodge, it would inevitably bring him closer to Yan Chong!

Nowhere to hide, nowhere to avoid.

Tong Shan with a grave expression, the sharp top of the flagpole thrust forward like a spear, wrapped in explosive telekinesis like a volcanic eruption, colliding head-on with the shattered sword.

A grating sound of breaking reverberated from the heavens, spreading.

Within this close grapple, Yan Chong's vicious smile grew more ferocious, caring not that the telekinetic torrent flayed him instantly, exposing bare bones.

His target was not Tong Shan at all.

But rather, the flag he held that was splitting down the middle!

In an instant, the Flag of Burning Star shattered inch by inch into a sky full of silken threads, and with the flag's fracture, the surrounding Burning Star Phase quietly collapsed.

Like a fortress built of sand, it dissipated without a trace.

And with the loss of the gravitational torrent's suppression and deflection, behind Tong Shan, a vague silhouette quietly coalesced within the cold shadow, closing in, merely an arm's reach away.

Seizing the critical opportunity created by Yan Chong.

The destructive blade within the shadowy flow stabbed out—

The outcome was decided!

At that moment, Ji Jue, who had witnessed all this from the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Victory.
