Chapter 446 The Eyes and the Essence of God's Domain
Vector Light Blade is a powerful technique developed by the Heavenly Dao after it awakened the 'Vector Lockdown' technique a second time through the Star Eclipse Heavenly Eye.

The principle behind it is not complicated. It is a special light blade formed by the Heavenly Dao continuously layering and sealing 'Black Azure' similar to the Seeking the Way Jade. Its power is astonishing.

Furthermore, due to the large accumulation, compression, and blockade of the vector force field, the light blade actually released a dazzling golden light.

Like a golden pillar of light piercing the sky, it was firmly grasped in the hands of the Heavenly Dao.

scoff!

There was no earth-shattering roar; the moment the Heavenly Dao's vector light blade collided with the 'Libra's' rattan armor barrier, there was only the ear-piercing sound of the blade cutting through the tough fibers.

The golden blade pierced through the vine armor like a hot knife through butter, and the vector impact force attached to the blade spread along the vines, shattering all the vines that followed.

Libra's expression changed slightly, and the vine wings on his back flapped violently, causing his body to retreat like an arrow released from a bow. At the same time, pale purple law energy condensed at his fingertips.

Equivalent exchange—overdrafting one's life!

The rose bushes in front of him suddenly withered wildly, and the petals turned into purple light spots that merged into his palm.

Subsequently, countless purple plant vines shot out from the void beside them, covering the Heavenly Dao and quickly enveloping it completely, forming a huge plant sphere with vines constantly wriggling on its surface.

These vines not only seemed to possess their own consciousness, but their surfaces also shimmered with a mysterious luster.

That was the aura of the law, meaning that each of these vines contained the power of 'exchange'.

Once entangled, the vines will be forcibly drained of star energy to strengthen themselves.

And this exchange is mandatory.

However, to initiate such a forced exchange, a necessary condition must be met: they must have access to the Heavenly Dao.

"Vector. Invert".

Shortly after the Libra's Law Vines completely engulfed the figure of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao's calm voice emanated from the vines.

The next second, the law vines surrounding him were forcibly pushed open.

Then, the remaining vines of law were no longer under Libra's control and all flew backward toward him.

"?!"

Upon seeing this, Libra's pupils dilated in shock. It was clearly its own law, so why was it being controlled by someone else?

Without any hesitation, Libra decisively detonated those out-of-control 'law vines'.

boom!
Numerous purple orbs of light exploded in front of him, the shockwaves sending him flying. After gliding through the air for a distance, he landed steadily under an ancient tree in the center of the plaza.

The shockwave from the explosion caused leaves to fall from the ancient trees, and the chrysanthemums and roses on the ground around them trembled.

After calming the surging stellar energy within him, Libra looked at the Heavenly Dao not far away and asked curiously, "Strange, how did you reverse my laws?"

The Heavenly Dao didn't hide anything and directly stated the reason.

"It's very simple. Any attack needs a 'target,' and the triggering of an equivalent exchange requires a clear 'giver' and 'receiver,' and my vector can just happen to tamper with this coordinate."

“You exchange your life force for power, which is essentially a kind of directed energy flow. Therefore, I only need to reverse the ‘flow direction’ to direct them toward a new ‘target’.”

Upon hearing this, Libra finally understood.

Don't be fooled by how easily the Heavenly Dao speaks; Librans know very well that achieving this is not so easy.

The first requirement is that the Heavenly Dao must have the ability to see through the 'essence'.

And the Star Eclipse Sky Eye has exactly this effect.

Why would a Libra want the eyes of the Heavenly Dao?
That's because the 'Star Eclipse Eye' was never something that 'ordinary people' could possess from the very beginning.

For a long time, both the audience of the dimensional world and the Heavenly Dao itself believed that the greatest function of the Star Eclipse Heavenly Eye was to see countless possibilities of the future through the fog of time.

But as he got to know those eyes better, he slowly realized he was wrong.

The most distinctive feature of the Star Eclipse Eye is never 'what it sees', but rather its ability to 'see'.

It's not about seeing concrete objects, but about seeing abstract laws, energy flows, and even the trajectory of spacetime.

The latter is the greatest 'wealth' of the Star Eclipse Sky Eye.

Take, for example, the Heavenly Dao, which is now showing traces of laws. It should be noted that not everyone can see 'laws'.

Therefore, the ability to 'see' itself is already a terrifying power that ordinary people cannot imagine.

However, Tiandao is not the only one who possesses these eyes.
As Libra watched the Heavenly Dao slowly approaching, the relaxed expression on his face vanished.

Its vine wings spread out completely, and the cold light on its spikes became even more intense.

"Mortal, I admit you are indeed far more special than I thought. There is a reason why those eyes chose you, but..."

Libra raised his head and placed his hand on the trunk of the ancient tree.

The next second, the ancient tree suddenly shook violently, and the clouds above the entire square began to churn, with golden and purple energies intertwining into a vortex.

"The law of equivalent exchange is not so easy to break."

Equivalent exchange—Libra. Judgment!

A gigantic phantom scale suddenly appeared in the clouds, its golden tray symbolizing 'life' and its purple tray symbolizing 'death' swaying slowly together.

During this process, countless golden specks of light floated up from the surrounding monster corpses and flowed into the tray.

At the same time, the purple tray shot out and condensed into a huge 'dark purple energy sphere'.

The sphere resembled a pair of eyes from the abyss. Even those on the outer perimeter of the pyramid, such as Chen Kong, could feel the intense aura of death emanating from the top of the pyramid, sending chills down their spines.

But the ways of Heaven are not for ordinary people.

"Is it a symbol of death?"

The Heavenly Dao chuckled, and countless tiny vector force fields appeared around its body.

Under the control of the Heavenly Dao, these force fields formed a special structure similar to a 'matrix'.

It is an advanced version of the Heavenly Dao's 'Vector Control · Repulsion of All Things'.

The moment the Heavenly Dao released the 'Myriad Phenomena Repulsion Matrix', the 'Death Judgment' on the scales arrived as scheduled.

boom!
The dark purple energy beam struck the Heavenly Dao's vector matrix, instantly igniting a blinding light.

What is truly astonishing is that Libra's death, which seemed capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart, was actually blocked by the vector matrix of the Heavenly Dao.

At the same time, some of the energy from the death judgment was deflected by the vector matrix of the Heavenly Dao and transformed into specks of golden star energy, which were all absorbed into the Heavenly Dao's body.

Seeing this, Libra could no longer remain calm.

He could clearly sense that the death sentence he summoned not only failed to harm the Heavenly Dao, but instead became an energy source for it.

What exactly went wrong with its own rules?
"Because your 'exchange' was unbalanced from the beginning."

In the silence of Libra, the Heavenly Dao, who saw through his thoughts, suddenly spoke. The Heavenly Dao's silver hair shimmered with a faint golden light as the two energies intertwined, and the star energy within his body not only had not been depleted, but was even more abundant than before.

He looked at Libra and said with a smile, "You use other people's lives as bargaining chips to gain the power to harm me. This unequal exchange violates the very essence of the scales, because it can't be considered fair, after all..."

He suddenly accelerated toward Libra, the vector light blade transforming into a spear in his hand.

True balance is never about forced exchange, but about equality!

Libra hurriedly formed a shield wall with vines, but this time, his vines were instantly vaporized as soon as they touched the light blade.

The blade of light was aimed directly at his chest, about to pierce his heart.

But at that very moment, the actions of Heaven, or rather, the spacetime in which he existed, came to a standstill!
Then, the ancient tree in the center of the square suddenly made a loud noise, and its roots shot out from the ground and wrapped around Tiandao's ankle.

The Heavenly Dao looked down at the roots that were entangled around it, its brows furrowing.

This was because those roots were covered with pale golden law patterns, which were frantically absorbing his star energy.

At the same time, as the pyramid beneath his feet began to shake violently, the Heavenly Dao could feel that although his own time had been paused, the time cycle of the entire Longevity Island had begun to accelerate.

Libra, situated in this accelerated spacetime, experiences an exaggerated boost not only in speed but also in recovery ability.

Looking at the Heavenly Dao, which appeared to be frozen in his eyes due to the vast difference in relative time, Libra slowly spoke.

“Mortal, I admit that you do have the talent and potential to overturn everything.”

"But you are still too young at this moment."

"Let me teach you a lesson about this so-called field."

As he spoke, Libra calmly walked past the halo that had nearly pierced his heart and slowly approached the Heavenly Dao.

"That is, as long as I stand in it, I am the only 'god' in this space."

As soon as he finished speaking, Libra arrived in front of the Heavenly Dao and slowly raised his hand.

The next second, a large number of law vines reappeared, completely enveloping and submerging the Heavenly Dao.

[Outside the Pyramids]

"What's going on? The laws governing the pyramids have completely gone haywire!"

Mi Yao looked up at the pyramid not far away, the energy warning on the screen of his game console flashing red.

Upon hearing this, Chen Kong immediately looked up.

At this moment, the sky above the pyramid was dyed into a special two-tone color by a golden and purple energy.

At the same time, a huge phantom of a balance scale suddenly appeared in the clouds, and every sway of it caused the ground to tremble.

Before Chen Kong could understand what had happened, Vivian's anxious voice suddenly came through his communicator.

"Liu Ma's toxins are starting to backfire. The accelerated time loop on Changsheng Island is causing the toxins' metabolic rate to become disordered!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Kong rushed to Liu Ma's side.

Liu Ma was lying in a makeshift tent, his face pale, and black toxins were spreading rapidly under his skin. His previously stable vital signs began to decline sharply.

Isabel was freezing Liu Ma's blood vessels with ice blades in an attempt to slow the spread of the toxin, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

"My absolute zero can only temporarily suppress these toxins, but if this acceleration doesn't stop soon, Liu Ma's life force will soon be completely corrupted by these toxins."

"Then what should we do?"

In response to Chen Kong's question, Vivian, who was standing to the side, said without hesitation, "Find a way to break this cycle."

"But wouldn't that mean we're back to square one? We can't get any closer to that pyramid."

Upon hearing Chen Kong's words, everyone present fell silent.

As he said, if they want to break this cycle, they must climb to the top of the pyramid, find the culprit that triggered this acceleration of time, and stop it.

However, their strength was insufficient to allow them to approach the top of the pyramid.

It's practically unsolvable.

However, just when they were at their wits' end, an invisible shock suddenly emanated from the top of the pyramid, sweeping across the surrounding area.

Soon, the accelerated spacetime that Chen Kong and the others found unsettling suddenly returned to normal!
At the top of the pyramid, at the altar plaza

As the anime's camera returned to Tiandao, he was seen being entangled in vines, and his situation was becoming increasingly difficult.

The vines and roots released by the ancient tree clung to him like bloodsuckers, absorbing his star energy every second.

If this continues, defeat is only a matter of time.

At the same time, Libra conjured a unique sword of death energy composed of purple roses in his hand, and mimicking the actions of the Heavenly Dao, prepared to stab it directly into the Heavenly Dao's chest.

Although the Heavenly Dao had just said that his 'equivalent exchange' was unfair, he didn't care.

Because his exchanges have always been in accordance with his wishes.

As long as he believes that the bargaining chips of both parties in the transaction are equal, he can initiate the transaction regardless of the true intentions of the other party.

This is the equivalent exchange unique to Libra, a domineering, almost absolute 'exchange'.

And now, being in this territory, he continues this domineering attitude.

He wanted the eyes of the Heavenly Dao so that his own eyes could also undergo a transformation and become complete.

But he didn't care whether Heaven was willing to exchange or what Heaven actually wanted to gain.

He just wanted it, so he went and took it by force.

Even though the Heavenly Dao had rejected the transaction request, it still forcibly initiated the transaction and watched as it was about to be completed.

Strangely enough, faced with such a desperate situation, the Heavenly Dao showed no panic whatsoever; on the contrary, its eyes shone even brighter, as if it were observing, understanding, and digesting something.

Stab it!

Libra's Death Sword slowly shattered the vector matrix surrounding the Heavenly Dao and pierced through its body.

Bright red blood slid down the tip of the sword, quickly staining Tiandao's body red.

But just as the sword of death energy pierced a certain distance, a hand suddenly grasped the blade of the sword of death energy.

Libra looked in disbelief at what lay before them.

Suddenly, the Heavenly Dao, which should have been in a different time flow and thus in a relatively restricted state, regained its ability to move.

"So this is what a domain is."

"Indeed, only by experiencing it firsthand can one understand the essence of this power."
