"Roar——!!!"

In the scarlet compound eyes of the Nine Nether Centipede King, a creature of its kind exuding a terrifying aura arrogantly looks down upon it.

But after the initial trace of fear, its mind is completely filled with anger.

It spent so much effort just to get here, but...

Another King-level Fierce Beast is snatching its food!

How can this be allowed!

"Roar——!!!"

In the deafening roar, the Demonic Qi on the surface of the Nine Nether Centipede King's body surges wildly, swelling several times in the blink of an eye.

Although both are fierce beasts, different fierce beasts are like water and fire!

The violent Demonic Qi starts to gather at its ferocious maw.

In just a moment, a heart-palpitating Energy Ball has formed in front of the Nine Nether Centipede King's mouthparts.

Noticing this scene, Tu Shanyue's face suddenly changes.

She did not expect that the Nine Nether Centipede King, being the weakest of the King-level Fierce Beasts, would have no intention of avoiding another King-level Fierce Beast.

Instead, it directly launches an attack!

Tu Shanyue's gaze locks tightly onto the constantly expanding black Energy Ball in front of the Nine Nether Centipede King's maw, her face growing paler.

This force...

Her face turns extremely grim as she looks behind her.

Although her speed is completely capable of dodging this attack as it approaches her.

But...

If she dodges this attack, the ordinary citizens behind her...

Under this strike, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

And those she is protecting behind her also see the dire situation on the battlefield.

Clearly, the Illusion Realm released by the Empress has no effect on this King-level Fierce Beast.

And, they also see that their Empress is completely no match for this fierce beast.

"Empress, don't worry about us, quickly take the Qingqiu Race and leave!"

"Yes! Empress, we were saved by the Qingqiu Race back then, living this long we've already been very satisfied."

"Empress, don't expend your energy on us, quickly take the Qingqiu Race and leave!"

Voices of persuasion continuously ring out.

At this moment.

Even though they know they are facing death, there seems to be no fear in their eyes.

However, upon hearing these voices, Tu Shanyue's gaze gradually becomes firm.

The original intention of establishing this sanctuary back then was to provide a place for weak races to live and thrive.

Under her leadership, the Qingqiu Race has always adhered to the creed of "protecting the weak."

Under the influence of this creed, races with weaker combat abilities continuously gather towards here.

Gradually, this place has formed a super-large clan.

Different races cooperate with each other, prosper together, and honor her as the Empress of Ten Thousand Races.

And now...

Facing a life-and-death crisis, as the Empress, how could she abandon her original intention?

How could she choose to disregard everyone?!

Her gaze locks firmly onto the Nine Nether Centipede King.

To stop this attack, she has to fight with all her might!

"Buzz——!!!"

Pink flames suddenly ignite on her body.

This means she is fighting with all her strength.

This is the flame formed by the burning of the Law.

And under the influence of the Law's burning, her aura is also enhanced at a terrifying speed.

However, compared to the Nine Nether Centipede King, there is still a gap!

But there's no other choice, this is already her limit.

And at this time, the energy gathered by the Nine Nether Centipede King is complete.

A trace of madness flashes in its compound eyes.

The black Energy Ball at its mouthparts suddenly shoots out, like a black streak of light rushing towards Tu Shanyue.

Wherever it passes, even the space itself warps and shatters!

Facing this scene, Tu Shanyue's eyes are filled with gravity.

"Absolutely cannot retreat!"

Tu Shanyue shouts sharply, pushing her hands forward fiercely.

Surging pink energy bursts forth, transforming into a giant shield spanning the heavens and the earth, firmly protecting the entire Qingqiu Base behind it.

Meanwhile, others do not sit and await death.

"The Empress is working hard, we can't hold the Empress back!"

"Everyone, take action together!"

Under one person's call, everyone unleashes their energy with all their might.

In an instant, countless Energy Beams rise from the ground.

People from all races do their utmost, forming another multi-colored barrier in front of the pink giant shield.

Although chaotic, it condenses their will.

And in this time, the black Energy Ball unleashed by the Nine Nether Centipede King is already inches away from the two shields.

The next moment.

The black Energy Ball touches the first multi-colored barrier.

"Boom——!!!"

A sky-shaking explosion resounds through the heavens, as if time freezes at this moment.

Subsequently, a terrifying shockwave sweeps around like a tsunami!

"Pfft——"

Everyone spits out a mouthful of blood in unison, the barrier that gathered everyone's strength shatters instantly like it was made of paper!

"Why is there such a gap? Why are King-level Fierce Beasts so terrifying?"

"Now it's just the Empress left, the Empress must hold on!"

The remaining momentum of the black Energy Ball smashes into Tu Shanyue's pink giant shield.

This time, the pink Energy Shield did not shatter as easily as the first shield.

However, for her, who excels in control, it is still exceedingly difficult to withstand the attack of this King-level Fierce Beast.

"Crack, crack!"

Piercing sounds continuously reverberate, spider-web-like cracks instantly spread across the entire shield's surface.

Seeing this scene, Tu Shanyue's face changes.

"Hold on for me...!"

Blood oozes from the corners of Tu Shanyue's mouth as she burns the Law once more.

The pink flames blaze into the sky, forcibly halting the spread of the cracks!

Finally, under the breathless gaze of everyone, the world-destroying black flash gradually dissipates...

"It worked?"

Tu Shanyue staggers, kneeling on one knee, a trace of joy appearing on her pale face.

But at this moment, she has also nearly reached her limit.

She has almost burned through all her Power of Laws.

This means that she is now no different from the Half-step Totem Level.

Unable to use the Law means she is no longer considered a complete Totem Level.

Moreover...

Without the Law, her life is gradually coming to an end as well.

As the black Energy Ball finally dissipates, before everyone can rejoice, their hearts sink once again.

This attack could be blocked, but what about the next one?

The Empress has reached her limit, while the Nine Nether Centipede King... remains unscathed!

Worse yet, as Tu Shanyue's strength wanes, the Illusion Realm starts to collapse.

In the scarlet compound eyes of the Nine Nether Centipede King, the figure of that 'King-level Fierce Beast' is gradually fading...

"Roar——!!!"

In the ear-deafening roar, the beast's gaze locks tightly onto the tottering Tu Shanyue.

Deceived!

Mocked by such a puny insect!

Unprecedented fury causes the Nine Nether Centipede King's entire shell to emit a piercing grinding noise.

Its most terrifying feature has never been its long-range attack, but its incredibly hard body!

Its hundreds of meter-long torso rushes towards the base like a black torrent, with an overwhelming force.

Where it passes, the earth cracks, stones shatter!

"It's over..."
