The Qi surged from Hengsheng's palm and sent a barrage of destruction cannonballs at the Golden Rakshasa.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Golden Rakshasa swung its axes countless times to destroy the incoming attack. After that, it flew across the distance to attack the human with all its might.
Clang!
The Rakshasa's axes were crashed against the human's gauntlet.
DOOM!!
The impact from the crash caused a powerful shockwave throughout the sanctum.
Hengsheng was hurled backward, clearly, the small human could keep up with the Rakshasa's raw strength.

—[8 Minutes: 59 Seconds]
Hengsheng was turning into a large, plump pink pig due to the Rakshasa's spell, yet even in this form, he remained a formidable pig!
"OINK!" Hengsheng taunted and circulated the Qi within his body to break the Rakshasa's spell.
"DIE! You pig!" The Rakshasa was angry as it could not deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.
His 4 feet swiftly moved right and left, dodging the Rakshasa's axe swiftly despite the body disadvantage.
Hengsheng's pig eyes glowed with golden light and burst out a solar blast at close range against the opponent.
BOOM!!!
The impact from the solar blast sent both of them apart. Hengsheng quickly moved to distance himself from the Rakshasa.
[Time Remaining]
—[6 Minutes: 59 Seconds]
The countless fists and palms struck, rumbling against the Rakshasa's body.
PAK PAK PAK!!!!!
"AHHHH!" the Rakshasa roared in pain, his body twitching as he struggled to defend himself from the human's strikes.
"Useless, useless! Useless, useless! Useless, useless! Useless, useless!…" Hengsheng shouted while continuing to perform an endless fist and palm strike combo.
Hengsheng battled with the Rakshasa for a while. He always kept track of the opponent's strength, waiting for the right opportunity—when the other side's strength fell to a certain point. At that time, he would end the battle.
The massive amount of Qi gathering in Hengsheng's right hand.
"HM!" Hengsheng clenched his fist tight and threw a powerful punch at the center of the Rakshasa's chest.
Thwack!
The punch put a hole in the opponent's chest and sent him flying backward, slamming into the sanctum wall!
BOOM!
Crack!
Hengsheng gazed at the invisible sanctum wall, where a crack had appeared—like a crack in the middle of space. This was the first time during the fight that the sanctum had been damaged.
Hengsheng knew it meant that the Dimensional structure of the sanctum was now weak to the point that the dimension was unstable.
'Just a little more…' Hengsheng thought, as he dashed toward the opponent, not letting him recover. resumed their frenzy battle.
[Time Remaining]
—[3 Minutes: 59 Seconds]
'It's Time!' Hengsheng thought.
Hengsheng's gaze turned sharp as he decided to end the battle.
"WOOD!" Hengsheng roared.
WINK!
The green-colored Qi of the wood element rose from the ground around Hengsheng, like a countless green ball of light dancing in the middle of the darkness of this dead universe.
Before they were pulled by an invisible force toward Hengsheng's left hand, which wore a wooden gauntlet.
The Wood Qi empowered his next move.
The green light condensed within the hand, making it glow with the intense green light and Hengsheng raised his palm toward the incoming Golden Rakshasa.
"ROAR!" The Rakshasa is already in a frenzied state, it gives everything to destroy the human in front of it.
"Grasp of Timber Lord," Hengsheng uttered, before clenching his hand. The green light on his hand burst out with a powerful aura of Wood Qi.
A gigantic green timber hand, glowing with the aura of intense wood Qi, manifested in front of Hengsheng.
The formidable timber hand moved forward at incredible speed and grabbed the body of the incoming three-headed, six-armed Golden Rakshasa within its mighty grasp.
The timber hand restrained the Rakshasa movement within its grasp and began to root itself into the ground.
The Rakshasa's entire body was enveloped by the green light power of the Timbergrasp, helplessly trying to get out of the grasp, but it was useless.
"AHHHHHH!" The Rakshasa's six eyes watched as the timber hand clenched. Its golden skin slowly turned into wooden bark. The Rakshasa could not resist at all, as its power could no longer match Hengsheng's.
The timber hand slowly turned the Rakshasa's body into wood with its power.
Soon, the Rakshasa's whole skin was no longer flesh and blood but a brown-golden shaded wooden skin, Rakshasa could no longer move its body.
Afterward, the formidable timber hand slowly disappeared as its task was done, leaving only the 300-meter-tall Rakshasa wooden sculpture with three heads and six arms behind.
"It's finally over," Hengsheng murmured.
Crack!
"NO!" The wooden sculpture roared as it tried to move its stiff wooden body.
Hengsheng's eyes widened at the opponent's stubbornness, but he was not worried. With a smirk, he spoke the words.
"Don't move." The voice was normal, nothing special about it not carrying a Qi or mystery spell, but when the Rakshasa wooden sculpture heard the words, it stopped moving immediately. Its wooden eyes were filled with shock.
Hengsheng was testing the power of control and manipulation from his genetic trait ability. This Wooden Rakshasa was already within his grasp, and it could not resist his command!
"Stop thinking and go to sleep," Hengsheng said.
The Rakshasa tried its best to resist, but it could not. Soon, the light of consciousness in its eyes disappeared, and it became completely still, as if it were a normal wooden sculpture.
The Rakshasa's mind and soul were now sealed within its wooden body.
Hengsheng confirms the opponent's status with his Divine Sense.
"It's finally over for real," Hengsheng said to himself.
He fell to the ground to rest, easing the exhaustion after the fierce battle.
Facing the sky within the sanctum, the illusion of the dead universe.
"Actually, this place is like a good planetarium," Hengsheng murmured.
Hengsheng gazed across the whole sanctum he saw countless cracks spreading across the space above and below—like a shattered mirror suspended in midair.
Crack!
The cracks continued to appear as time passed, as this pocket dimension was about to collapse due to the damage caused by the battle and the dimensional essence running low.
Crack!
…..

—[59 Seconds]
"I should get out of here," Hengsheng murmured.
Hengsheng got up and walked to the exit. Even though he wanted to suck up every last bit of Dimensional Essence within this place, however, he could not bet his life on what would happen if he was still inside the dimension when it collapsed.
Crake! Crake!!! Crake!!!!!
The cracks multiplied rapidly, spreading faster than before. Within seconds, they had webbed across every inch of the space, leaving no surface untouched—like a dimension on the verge of shattering.
The 300-meter-tall Rakshasa wooden sculpture also had a crack on it…
Hengsheng was already right next to the exit. He gazed back at the collapsing dimension with curiosity—who wouldn't want to see the world end with their own eyes?
He kept his wonder in his heart. He had to get out before it was too late.
Hengsheng gave a final look before he stepped forward to the outside.
On the outside of the sanctum, Hengsheng felt a similar sensation of Heaven and Earth surrounding his skin, giving him a sense of familiarity.
Even though the blue mist that enveloped the rift still obstructed the presence of Heaven and Earth, it was still much better than when he was inside the sanctum.
Hengsheng observed the surroundings, there was nothing changed since when he entered the sanctum.
Crake!
KRRRR-BOOOOM!
"Hm," Hengsheng leaped out from the entrance as he sensed the sanctum behind him collapse.
CRASHHHH!
The 500-meter-tall pyramid-shaped structure, which was a strong architectural shape that was hard to topple, collapsed from the peak down to the foundation in just a matter of seconds.
DOOM!
A huge cloud of dust from the collapsed structure billowed across the surrounding area, obscuring Hengsheng's vision.
"This is bad!" Hengsheng thought, remembering that in the rift, Divine Sense was not very effective due to the presence of the blue mist.
Losing both eyesight and Divine Sense…
This was no different from him becoming blind.
GARRR!
GARRR!!
GARRR!!
Hengsheng heard the sound of God Spawn's roars, which were very close to his surroundings. He was surprised, cause he remembered there shouldn't be any God Spawn near the temple.
"maybe the sanctum was preventing these God Spawn from populating the temple. Now that it's collapsed…" Hengsheng murmured, considering the possibility, and he was quite sure it was the case.
Flew!
The sound of the air splitting reached his ears as something fast moved through the distance toward him.
Hengsheng was not passive; his first thought was to regain his vision.
A massive amount of Qi surged from within and enveloped his body instantly. He then burst it out in all directions!
"HAAAAAAA!" Hengsheng roared.
BOOM!!!
The Qi discharged with Hengsheng at the center, sending a destruction wave of pure Qi throughout his surroundings. It blew away the dust and the incoming God Spawns.
The remnants of the temple structure were also blown away by the wave, becoming a completely barren wasteland filled with blue mist.
No more a ruin of the ancient temple.
Hengsheng's vision returned. He gazed around the whole area, his eyes filled with joy. A smile curved on his lips because it was time for him to reap his rewards.
GARRRRR!! GARRRRR!!
GARRRRR!!GARRRRR!!GARRRRR!!.....
Hengsheng raised his hands, taking a battle stance one more time.
