Pei Yan, whose body was being forcefully pressed down, struggled desperately. He no longer wanted to experience the agony of drowning again. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he resisted, his body still couldn't withstand the pressure from behind, and he was being forcibly pushed down bit by bit.

Just as his face was about to touch the water and be submerged, the giant fish that had been swimming around before darted towards him, flicking its tail and leaping out of the water. Pei Yan's eyes widened as his mouth met the fish's in an intimate contact, and a massive energy surged into his body, blasting open the pressure from behind with a bang.

Regaining his freedom, Pei Yan scrambled up and turned around to look at Lin Junzhao, who had been knocked away by the force he exerted. He then glanced at his own hands; a completely new kind of energy he had never experienced before was flowing within him. This energy was different from the Power of Origin he previously possessed; it was warm and gentle yet full of power.

As he was delighting in this unexpectedly new power, another mighty force hit him, and his entire body was violently pushed backward. With a thud, he slammed firmly into a wall of light. His whole body was squeezed under the external force, making his bones creak, and his head was twisted and pressed against the wall, unable to move.

At this point, treating a dead horse as if it's alive, the repeated humiliation and torment stirred up the ferocity in Pei Yan's nature. He was never someone to submit without a fight. After repeatedly trying to engage the new energy that entered his body, he finally got a reaction as the energy began circulating faster and faster inside him. Pei Yan felt that his body's strength was also growing.

Under the intense pressure, at first, he could only move his fingers, then his legs started to move! Hands, neck! When Pei Yan managed to straighten his head and face Lin Junzhao standing in front of him once more, confidence returned to his body! Yes, he could now put up a fight!

"Ahhhh!" Roaring, Pei Yan channeled all his strength to break free from the opponent's restraints. Once free, he charged at the stunned Lin Junzhao like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain. At this moment, he couldn't use any supernatural abilities and could only rely on his own strength and the combat skills he had learned over time to fight.

He landed a heavy punch on the left cheek of Lin Junzhao, whose body immediately fell backward. Pei Yan wasn't about to miss the opportunity to continue his attack; he grabbed her wrist, pulled her back, and rammed his knee into her abdomen, causing her body to bend. Then, he forcefully hammered her on the back of her head with his elbows.

After completing a series of movements, he twisted his body, grabbed Lin Junzhao's wrist, pinned it behind her back, and lifted it upwards. Then he kicked her left calf, causing it to break, grabbed her hair, and performed a chokehold, violently twisting her neck until it snapped.

"Is it over?"

Watching the supposedly dead Lin Junzhao, who had her neck twisted 180 degrees with her head turned to her back but still speaking and smirking at him coldly, Pei Yan felt like he was in a horror movie, his hair standing on end.

"Not yet!"

He couldn't stop! He must launch continuous attacks to buy time. With this thought in mind, Pei Yan punched and punched in a flurry of strikes on Lin Junzhao, who was not retaliating and simply stood like a wooden stake being pushed around.

Although it seemed like Pei Yan had seized the initiative in the battle, as the punching continued, he felt something was off. The sudden victory and the strange rigidity he felt when his fists and feet hit the opponent's body gave him the illusion of being in a surreal dream.

Bam! After dealing a final full-strength blow that sent Lin Junzhao flying away, Pei Yan finally paused his assault due to exhaustion, hands on his knees, panting heavily. It now seemed that the power given by that fish was not his accustomed Power of Origin; operating this body still felt somewhat unwieldy.

Splash, splash, splash, came the sound of water as Lin Junzhao, launched into the distance, slowly rose from the water in an eerie posture. Seeing her stand and mechanically adjust and twist her body, Pei Yan suddenly realized what was wrong.

She was not unable to fight back not because she underestimated him but because she couldn't! Her power seemed to be suppressed by an external force!

This was an opportunity! It must be the actions of Minister Cen and the others working! He must hold on! Thinking this, Pei Yan gritted his teeth and, enduring the stiff and sore body, dashed forward once more.

Just as he was about to reach Lin Junzhao, who was still rigid, she suddenly raised her head and swung her hand. Pei Yan, still in mid-charge, felt as if he collided head-on with a speeding truck. With a bang, he was sent flying through the air.

"Dare to act rampant before me just by borrowing someone else's power! Even if the person who gave you this power stood before me, I wouldn't flinch!"

Escaping her predicament, the now hysterical Lin Junzhao, instantly appeared beside Pei Yan, grabbing his neck and forcefully pushing him into the creek, scolding, "Don't forget, I am the origin of this world, this world belongs to me!"

"Urgh!" Just after she said this, the once confident Lin Junzhao suddenly loosened her hand and let out a groan of pain. Just as Pei Yan predicted, outside of his body, a battle aimed at sealing and suppressing the origin was at its fiercest.

Unlike the tangible image of Lin Junzhao in Pei Yan's body, outside, Lin Junzhao's form wasn't human; she was like a mass of sludge being squeezed into various shapes under Cen Xiaoran and others' array using the Divine Artifact Tuantuan.

As the battle continued, the divine artifacts in these people's hands grew dimmer in light. These once-famous weapons in their planes were now corroded by the energy released by the origin and lost their original luster. Given that they were originally restored after being damaged, they were now on the brink of collapsing once more.

Cen Xiaoran watched as Pei Yan, wrapped by the origin's main body, exuded a faint golden glow from his body, confirming that this boy was still resisting and hadn't given up hope for survival. He had to seize the moment to lend a hand.

Now wasn't the time to feel attached to these trinkets!

With this thought, Cen Xiaoran shouted angrily: "Shatter!" The Celestial Measuring Ruler in his hand shattered into countless fragments, abruptly stabbing into the origin's main body that was the sludge of Tuantuan.

At this moment, the Plane Cultivator holding the bronze bell saw Cen Xiaoran's move and then looked at his own bronze bell, a pained expression surfacing on his face. It was such a good Divine Artifact. Oh well, oh well! After all, it wouldn't end up in his hands after this mission. No need to feel heartache over it!

With this in mind, he steeled his heart, and with a painful incantation, the bronze bell in his hand shattered in response, the force of the smashed divine artifact unleashing its impact alongside the fragments below.
