"Ahhhhhhh!"
Nie Kuangfeng screamed, his voice growing louder by the second. At the same time, his aura surged upward like a volcano erupting, quickly reaching a terrifying level.
Boom!
A deafening explosion shattered the vines into countless pieces.
Nie Kuangfeng regained his freedom.
But he was no longer a dark green hurricane — instead, he had become a mass of reddish-brown demonic wind.
The demonic wind howled as it crossed several thousand paces in an instant, arriving before Qingsen Great Sage.
Qingsen Great Sage had already activated his defensive killer move, but once consumed by the reddish-brown demonic wind, his aura rapidly weakened. After just a few breaths, he was utterly silent.
The demonic wind paused for a moment, then, like a shark scenting blood, it surged toward the nearest target — Chen Huaizi.
"Be careful!" Xiao Hejian hurriedly moved to help.
But after just a few exchanges, the demonic wind still managed to kill Chen Huaizi by force.
At last, the demonic wind turned toward Xiao Hejian.
Xiao Hejian was no match for Nie Kuangfeng, retreating even as she fought.
After a few exchanges, her small face was etched with extreme gravity, her entire head drenched in cold sweat.
The aura of imminent death grew ever stronger.
Rumble!
The lightning tribulation kept crashing down relentlessly, but Nie Kuangfeng ignored it all — his power so overwhelming it bordered on despair.
Elsewhere.
"Stop!" Lu Weiyin shouted.
But Bu Tiankong still threw his punch downward, smashing Steel Rush Warrior's head to pulp.
Then, with a low grunt, Bu Tiankong shattered Steel Rush Warrior's soul.
Steel Rush Warrior perished, body and soul destroyed. His headless corpse, like a tattered sack, plummeted mournfully from the sky.
Both his physical body and his blessed land would be absorbed as nourishment by the Great World.
"Who's next?!" Bu Tiankong roared, raising his head skyward. His battle intent blazed like beacon fires, surging straight through the nine heavens and shaking heaven and earth.
At this point, all four Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals who had been besieging him had fallen — every one killed ruthlessly by his hand.
Lu Weiyin sighed and flew to face the Stone Monkey.
The Stone Monkey glared at him with savage ferocity. "You're next? Fine! Even if you're a Saint of the Yellow Earth Great World, I'll kill you too!"
Lu Weiyin shook his head slightly. "I can hardly call myself a Saint. Bu Tiankong, you're far too bloodthirsty."
Lu Weiyin had no choice but to take action against Bu Tiankong.
Bu Tiankong had killed far too many Gu Immortals. If left unchecked, it would tip the balance of this Gu Immortal-level war.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lu Weiyin and Bu Tiankong clashed.
This time, Bu Tiankong was finally suppressed.
Though he was powerful enough to slay multiple Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals, he was ultimately not at the Half-Venerable level. On the other hand, while Lu Weiyin's overall strength fell short, his defensive capabilities were squarely at the Half-Venerable level.
Lu Weiyin weathered Bu Tiankong's barrage of fierce attacks with room to spare.
"You're not even a true Saint, yet you're this strong?! Good, good!"
"Come at me! Go for the kill! It's been ages since I've felt the thrill of murderous intent."
"Why won't you attack? Why do you only defend?"
"Are your attacks really this feeble? What a disappointment!!"
The Stone Monkey roared ceaselessly, his figure streaking through the sky like lightning. His attacks came like furious thunderbolts, their power climbing ever higher.
But Lu Weiyin's mind was elsewhere.
He had just learned that Fang Yuan had already set out for the centralmost Dao Guardian True Inheritance space.
"This is bad!"
"Lord Fang Yuan, please, you must stop!"
"Even if that small world may contain the Dao Guardian True Inheritance, you will certainly be attacked from both sides by Heavenly Court and Eternal Life."
"Heavenly Court has already deployed its main force — many Gu Immortals and Immortal Gu Houses. Eternal Life has also sent the Calamity Tribulation Altar."
"This is not yet the time for a decisive battle. If Star Constellation Immortal Venerable takes advantage of your absence to launch a sneak attack on Eternal Peace's tomb, what then?"
Lu Weiyin sent his voice transmission in persuasion, but Fang Yuan didn't even send a reply.
Lu Weiyin clenched his jaw, his expression turning grim.
"No matter how powerful Fang Yuan is, he's ultimately only a Half-Venerable, not a true Venerable."
"I must go help him!"
"If Star Constellation Immortal Venerable appears and eliminates him, who will be left to protect Eternal Peace's great tomb and buy the crucial time?"
The moment this thought crossed his mind, Lu Weiyin's vision went dark.
Bang.
In the next instant, the Stone Monkey Bu Tiankong's fist slammed brutally into Lu Weiyin's face.
"You dare lose focus on me?! Look down on me and you'll pay the price!" Bu Tiankong roared.
Bu Tiankong flew toward Lu Weiyin, the two closing in on each other once more.
Lu Weiyin was knocked flying backward and immediately activated a killer move.
Rain suddenly began to fall from the sky.
The Calamity Tribulation Rain landed on Bu Tiankong's body, drastically slowing his speed and violently corroding his defenses.
At the same time, Lu Weiyin's killer move took effect.
Yellowish-brown dust rapidly appeared all over Bu Tiankong's body, billowing and swirling, gradually sealing him in place.
"Get off me! Get off me!" Bu Tiankong roared, frantically unleashing killer move after killer move to sweep away the Calamity Tribulation Rain and the yellowish-brown dust.
But the raindrops and dust only multiplied, and at last they sealed him completely.
A mass of earth enveloped Bu Tiankong and plummeted like a meteor. Once it struck the ground, it rapidly transformed into a massive yellow mountain.
"You just stay put in there for me." Lu Weiyin immediately rushed toward the Dao Guardian space.
"No!"
