"Compass of Heaven and Earth—seal!"

Ethan's voice fell like a divine decree.

The palm-sized compass rose from his hand, floating silently into the night sky. Ancient Dao texts carved upon its surface flickered one after another, flowing with dark golden light, as if awakening from a long slumber.

The next instant—

The compass expanded.

A colossal golden shadow unfolded in the sky, vast and boundless, like a second firmament descending upon the world. The Heaven and Earth Compass began to rotate slowly, and divine power poured down like an inverted galaxy.

Boom!

The pressure crashed down.

Even Supremes felt their knees tremble, their bodies sinking involuntarily as if mountains were pressing upon their shoulders.

Malrik and the others looked up, their faces turning ashen.

"What… what is this?!" someone shouted in disbelief.

"What terrifying aura—what terrifying power!" Seth Vernal exclaimed, his brows tightly knit.

Malrik's fists clenched until blood seeped from his palms.

"This is the artifact Ethan obtained from that mysterious female Supreme," he said hoarsely.

"A compass."

His eyes burned with unwillingness.

"This compass is extremely high grade—likely on par with the Sky-Suppressing Turtle Shell. Unfortunately… our turtle shell is heavily damaged. If it were intact, we would not be in this predicament."

At this moment, they were trapped within the Prisoner Dragon Lock, their strength eroded by the Pure Azure Flame, and now—

The power of an artifact was descending upon them.

Despair crept in like poison.

"What… what do we do now?" Seth Vernal asked, his voice low, carrying a trace of panic.

For the first time in countless years, fear gripped his heart.

Fear of death.

The stronger one became, the more one understood what was at stake—and the harder it was to accept extinction.

"What else can we do?" Malrik replied grimly.

"Activate the Sky-Suppressing Turtle Shell with everything we have."

He raised his head, eyes filled with madness.

"If we don't block this artifact, once the sealing barrier fully unfolds, we will lose all resistance!"

Enzo Vernal and Arza clenched their teeth.

Humiliation.

They had never imagined that they—Upper Supremes who stood above millions—would be forced into such a corner by a junior who had risen less than a century ago.

Dark golden light descended like rain.

A mysterious, ancient force filled the air, heavy and oppressive. The divine power carried with it an overwhelming sealing power, forming layers of invisible barriers that pressed down relentlessly.

Malrik's expression changed drastically.

"Everyone!" he roared.

"Stop holding back! Give me everything—activate the full power of the Sky-Suppressing Turtle Shell!"

Without hesitation, the remaining Supremes burned their heart blood and souls.

Essence surged.

Souls flared.

Streams of spiritual energy poured into Malrik's body like raging rivers.

Malrik trembled.

Power—unprecedented power—flooded his meridians.

For a brief moment, he even felt that he could rival an Ultimate Supreme.

"This feeling…" he laughed hoarsely, eyes blazing.

"This feeling is wonderful!"

He slammed his palm forward.

Boom!

Fierce spiritual energy infused roared outward, pouring into the Sky-Suppressing Turtle Shell. The artifact trembled violently, then erupted with dazzling green light.

A massive turtle-shell phantom rose, blotting out the sky.

Golden-green radiance spread outward, colliding head-on with the divine power projected by the Heaven and Earth Compass.

The two forces stalemated.

For a moment—

They resisted each other.

"Haha…" Ethan chuckled softly, eyes glinting with interest.

"Interesting. This turtle shell truly is a fine item."

Even broken, it could withstand the first wave of divine power.

Its origin was definitely extraordinary.

"Blocked!" Malrik's face lit up with joy.

"We blocked it!"

The others felt as though they had narrowly escaped death, breaths ragged as relief washed over them.

From afar, Zeon frowned slightly.

"That turtle shell's defensive power is absurd. Brother Ethan's Heaven and Earth Compass is a divine artifact seized from that female Supreme—yet it was actually stopped."

"Could it be…" Zeon murmured.

"That turtle shell is also a divine weapon?"

"Most likely," Magnus replied solemnly.

The Blood Marquis narrowed his eyes.

"The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets truly spared no expense. Even a broken Sky-Suppressing Turtle Shell can display such might."

"Do we intervene?" Callum asked.

"No need," Latham replied calmly.

"I've seen that compass before. This is far from its limit."

At that moment, Ethan looked down at Malrik and spoke lightly.

"Are you celebrating too early?"

Malrik sneered.

"Maintaining an artifact consumes tremendous strength. You alone—how long can you last against all of us combined?"

His tone steadied.

"As long as we keep supplying energy to the turtle shell, there will be no danger!"

"Is that so?" Ethan smiled faintly.

"It seems your understanding of divine power is still shallow."

His eyes turned cold.

"The real show begins now."

Ethan clenched his palm.

The Heaven and Earth Compass suddenly accelerated.

Boom!

The dark golden light curtain thickened, divine power condensing and crashing downward like a falling star.

A deep, muffled explosion echoed.

The shockwave swept outward uncontrollably.

In an instant, the remaining buildings of Noble Sun City were flattened. The ground collapsed, forming a massive crater beneath Malrik and the others.

Boom—boom—boom!

The compass spun faster and faster.

The power surged endlessly.

Crack!

A sharp sound rang out.

Fine fractures appeared on the massive turtle-shell phantom, spreading rapidly like spiderwebs.

In mere breaths, the incomplete artifact began to fail.

Malrik's arms trembled violently.

He felt the overwhelming force crushing down, unstoppable, merciless.

"Everyone!" he roared.

"Use everything you have!"

The Supremes howled in unison.

They burned the origins of their souls.

Blood mist rose from their bodies as their auras surged one last time.

The turtle-shell phantom stabilized briefly, barely holding together.

"Damn it!" Enzo Vernal roared through gritted teeth.

"Why is his divine power so strong?! Even an Ultimate Supreme shouldn't be like this!"

"Hold on!" Arza shouted sharply, crimson lips bitten until blood seeped out.

"If we fall now, we'll all die in his hands!"

Her strength was draining rapidly.

But she dared not stop.
