Su Yan stood firmly in place, his gaze fixed on Cocytus, not far ahead. Just now, with astonishing speed and precise judgment, he had successfully parried the opponent's incredibly sharp sword strike. Now, it was his turn to strike back. He secretly thought to himself that he must repay Cocytus's "kindness" - after all, if it hadn't attacked him, how would he have had the chance to successfully unlock the next level of the seal?

Su Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident and cold smile, and said softly: "Since you are so enthusiastic to help me unlock it, let me use this trick to repay you!" Before he finished speaking, his aura suddenly surged, and a suffocatingly powerful force surged out of his body.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yan shouted, "Marshland Returns!" With this roar, the surrounding world seemed to be instantly controlled by some mysterious force. The previously noisy and chaotic world quickly became quiet. The howling winds died down, and the flying sand and rocks suddenly ceased. However, this eerie calm was only a prelude. The next moment, the entire sky and earth erupted in a dazzling light.

The light streaked across the sky like lightning, sweeping straight towards Cocytus. In the blink of an eye, it completely engulfed him, and a deafening roar echoed—"Boom!" The sound was like thunder from the sky, resounding through the clouds; like the galloping of thousands of horses, shocking everyone.

At the same time, the earth trembled violently, and space began to shake and twist, as if it would collapse and shatter at any moment, swallowing all things in the world into the endless void. Faced with such terrifying power, could Cocytus withstand Su Yan's shocking attack?

Cocytus gripped the gleaming sword tightly, as if it had become one with him. His eyes were firm and cold, without a trace of fear. Not even a muscle in his face trembled, like an emotionless sculpture.

However, at that moment, an incredibly fierce attack swept towards him like a raging storm. Faced with such a ferocious attack, Cocytus chose to meet it head-on without hesitation. His figure flashed, and he rushed out like lightning. The sword in his hand instantly shone with a terrifying light, and a terrifying power surged from the blade.

This force was like a roaring beast, carrying boundless might, seemingly ripping the world apart. Cocytus, clutching this peerless divine weapon, charged unflinchingly at his enemy, Su Yan. At that moment, he had only one thought in mind: defeat his opponent or die on the battlefield!

Su Yan's body moved like lightning, and he and Cocytus engaged in a fierce battle. Cocytus clutched the Imperial Sword tightly, a cold light flashing in his hand, and each strike carried an unparalleled momentum. Meanwhile, Su Yan wielded the Ten Directions Sword, its blade shimmering with light, like a gleaming star.

When the Sword Emperor and the Ten Directions Sword suddenly collided, sparks flew and the clanging of metal resounded through the sky. The two forces countered each other, neither yielding, creating a massive shockwave that radiated outward in all directions. Wherever it passed, sand and rocks flew, and vegetation was destroyed. The scene was horrifying.

This thrilling battle was breathtaking, the two sides exchanged blows with exquisite, breathtaking moves. Meanwhile, Shalltear, watching the scene closely, her nerves trembling, sweat dripping from her palms. She simply couldn't predict who would ultimately win this life-or-death struggle.

Before long, the fierce battle came to an end. Looking around, the area looked as if it had experienced apocalyptic catastrophe, with everything destroyed and in ruins. The once magnificent buildings were now reduced to ruins, with broken walls and shattered rubble strewn across the ground. The once lush vegetation was now charred and withered, devoid of any life.

Despite the incredible power of the artifact wielded by Cocytus, it ultimately fell. After all, Su Yan had become the Goblin God, his strength unfathomable. Facing Cocytus, he could rely solely on his formidable defense to withstand the fierce attack of the artifact. Even if Cocytus could unleash his ultimate moves, it would be difficult to shake Su Yan. Thus, the outcome of this battle was determined from the outset.

At that moment, Shalltear, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, suddenly looked up and was surprised to see a corpse floating quietly in mid-air. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was none other than Cocytus's body! However, Cocytus had lost its former majestic presence. Deep dents clung to its body, and in some places, gaping holes revealed its shattered internal organs and bones. From a distance, it looked like a tattered, rusted piece of scrap metal, making it hard to imagine it had once been a formidable figure.

Su Yan walked steadily to Shalltear's side, his demeanor unhurried. He spoke slowly, "Let's go. Everything here should be brought to an end." Hearing this, Shalltear turned slightly and glanced around. She saw that the massive glacier that had once stood there had vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed; perhaps even this entire space and time had been completely annihilated, no longer existing. The fifth layer had become a realm of chaos. Not only was it difficult for outsiders to enter, but even for their own people, it was extremely difficult to show up.
