At this moment, within White Emperor City, the crowds surged.

Cultivators bustled through the streets and alleys as usual, the sounds of hustle and bustle never ending.

On the city walls, the soldiers stood in neat formation, their eyes sharp as they vigilantly watched the areas beyond the city.

Suddenly, a burly soldier furrowed his brow, casting his gaze toward a certain direction outside the city.

His brow slightly furrowed as his vision captured a point of white light in the distant sky, rapidly magnifying, releasing a massive roar that shook the entire world.

"Enemy... enemy attack!" The soldier's voice, though drowned by the wind, was enough to spread a tense atmosphere across the city walls.

Before he could shout, a rapid alarm bell's sound had already echoed from the corner tower, the "clang clang" resonating through every corner of the city, the grand sound waves rushing like tides, instantly awakening White Emperor City's alertness.

For the first time, the cultivators heard such an urgent and continuous alarm bell; the initial bewilderment quickly replaced by tension.

They knew well that the significance of this bell was extraordinary.

In the past, even if the Demon Clan launched a large-scale attack, it was merely three rings per group, striking three groups in succession. Yet, today's continuous bell clearly foretold a more severe situation.

Amidst the crowd's surprise and uncertainty, the arrays throughout the city suddenly activated.

In the dazzling golden light, countless golden light swords soared into the sky, forming a sword array mid-air, radiating sword intent, pointing fiercely outside the city.

Simultaneously, mechanisms on the city walls quickly activated, massive fireballs whistled into the sky, carrying raging flames, smashing towards the rapidly approaching white light mass.

Shockingly, whether it was the golden light sword array or the crimson fireballs, upon contacting the white light mass, they exploded one after another, turning into a rain of light, yet unable to damage the light mass in the slightest.

The white light mass continued its astonishingly rapid approach towards White Emperor City, seemingly unstoppable.

As the light mass drew near, its true form gradually revealed itself before everyone.

It turned out to be a silver giant ship as large as a mountain!

On the arrow tower atop the city walls, a flash of light occurred, and Jin Mu's figure suddenly emerged.

His face ashen, he swiftly gestured with both hands before his chest, dozens of array flags floating and swirling around him.

A dazzling white light shot into the sky from within the arrow tower, transforming into a giant silver-white light pillar, piercing into the high-altitude clouds.

In succession, various places in White Emperor City saw silver light pillars brighten up, like sky-piercing pillars, piercing straight into the clouds.

Instantly, the sea of clouds above surged, the thunderous roar deafening.

Gigantic lightning pillars extended from mid-air, akin to the tentacles of a giant beast.

These lightning pillars intertwined and converged in the air, forming a massive thunder array that enveloped White Emperor City.

Simultaneously, the main roads within the city also lit up with green light, these lights crisscrossed, converging into a massive green light array.

This array complemented the outside thunder array, jointly protecting White Emperor City.

On the outer city walls of White Emperor City, huge array runes also lit up at this moment.

These runes emitted dazzling light, diamond-shaped light screens resembling turtle shells appeared above the city walls, tightly linked like a giant protective net, securely shielding the entire city.

In an instant, the three defense arrays of White Emperor City fully deployed, forming a mighty and impregnable defense line.

The people on the city walls largely breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Jin Mu's expression showed no sign of relief.

He flipped his palm hidden in his sleeve, a purple jade talisman appearing in his palm.

He grasped it forcefully, the jade talisman instantly crumbling.

With the jade talisman's crushing, the flying swords shooting out from the arrow tower suddenly enveloped in a layer of blue-purple thunder.

These flying swords emitted a thunderous roar, tens of thousands of flying swords shot out, converging into a vast sword qi torrent, charging directly at the silver giant ship.

"This is the Yin-Yang Thunder Sword Formation! Personally arranged by Master Murong of Heavenly Saint Academy, a seventh-level formation!" someone exclaimed.

"Hmph, overestimating its capability. White Emperor City has stood for hundreds of years, with many sixth-level demons unable to shake its foundation, relying solely on a Magic Treasure flying boat to break the city? It's simply laughable!" someone else sneered.

"Once that giant ship crashes, we shall charge out of the city and slay all invading enemies!" more cultivators shouted boldly.

The crowd within the city erupted in cheers, yet before the silver giant ship's thunderous roar splitting the sky, these cheers seemed so insignificant.

The vast sword qi torrent sped off, yet just as it was about to touch the silver giant ship, the ship's bow suddenly glowed bright with silver light, like an arrow cutting through the void, vanishing in an instant.

The enormous hull likewise disappeared, leaving only the vast sword stream of the Yin-Yang Thunder Sword Formation crisscrossing in the air, swinging in vain.

Upon witnessing this, all the people on the city walls glanced at each other, a nameless fear welling up within their hearts.

Jin Mu's face became ashen, shouting abruptly: "It's disastrous, Pillar Hongjun!"

His figure then flashed, transforming into golden light, swiftly heading towards a certain place within the city.

In the depths beneath White Emperor City, a vast underground space unfolded before their eyes.

This space was broad and boundless, as though it could encompass all things in the world.

At the center of this space stood a massive crimson stone pillar, resembling stalactite stone, its surface smooth as jade, densely carved with peculiar runes, emitting subdued light.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

The void within the underground space suddenly cracked open, an eye-catching silver light shooting out, followed closely by the massive Three Realms Immortal Boat emerging out of thin air, its speed unabated, charging straight towards the crimson stone pillar.

Golden light flashed before the stone pillar, Jin Mu's figure appeared out of nowhere.

With the sight of the enormous Three Realms Immortal Boat, cold sweat covered his forehead, yet White Emperor City entrusted to him by Ancestor Bing Lan must not be lost.

He extended both hands outward, opening a golden spiritual domain around him, simultaneously spitting out a golden treasure umbrella.

The golden light within the spiritual domain fully gathered, merging with the golden treasure umbrella, spreading out a thick golden light curtain.

Before Jin Mu could do more, the Three Realms Immortal Boat had already arrived with a roar, colliding with the golden light curtain.

The golden light curtain shattered like fragile crystal, the golden treasure umbrella also splintering into pieces.

"How could this be..." Jin Mu's face showed a look of horror.

But before he could make any move, the massive bow of the Three Realms Immortal Boat collided with his body.

Bang!

Jin Mu's body and the light screen burst apart, just like the precious umbrella.

The Three Realms Immortal Boat crushed Jin Mu's blockade with irresistible force and, without any delay, rammed into the dark red Stone Pillar.

"Boom!"

The sound was like the sky collapsing and the earth cracking, coming from the depths beneath White Emperor City, shaking the entire city.

The cultivators on the city wall and the citizens within the city felt a dull yet grand beast roar in their ears, then the whole White Emperor City began to shake violently.

The originally impregnable three Defense Magic Arrays now appeared fragile as paper, shattering completely.

The rumbling sound echoed above the entire city, the buildings within White Emperor City crumbled like fragile blocks, collapsing in large swathes as smoke and dust rose.

The city walls, standing for countless years, also cracked in this violent tremor, with giant gashes tearing from different angles, causing the entire city to fall into a state of collapse and destruction.

The nearly thousand cultivators controlling the Great Array within the city suffered the most direct impact in the massive quake, all perishing.

The cultivators on the city wall also sustained severe injuries amidst the collapse of the arrow towers and the leaked Sword Qi.

The low-level cultivators and mortals within the city experienced an even greater catastrophe, with heavy casualties.

Within a thousand miles around White Emperor City, the ground shook, and mountain ridges stretching hundreds of miles crumbled one after another in the massive quakes.

Smoke and dust billowed in the mountains and forests, birds flew away startled, and the cries of beasts echoed, creating a scene of apocalypse.

And in the underground space, the gigantic dark red Stone Pillar was mostly shattered, crumbling into countless pieces of varying sizes.

These fragments shimmered with a glow, emitting a starry flicker like sparks, seemingly containing some mysterious power.

A vast surge of nature's spiritual energy gushed out from the shattered Stone Pillar, turning into rolling waves of gas, spreading in all directions.

Meanwhile, a boundless wave of Desire Power also spread, as if it had been sealed for millennia, now beginning to slowly leak out, permeating the entire underground space.

...

The cabin of the Three Realms Immortal Boat also shook violently from the collision, Su Yingxue and Hei Lian were flung around heavily, barely managing to stabilize themselves.

Both women were pale as snow, whether it was from controlling the massive Three Realms Immortal Boat, which consumed much of their energy, or from the recent tremor.

"We finally succeeded, let's go!" Su Yingxue immediately said.

"Are we just leaving like this? What about the Three Realms Immortal Boat?" Hei Lian asked in astonishment.

"Don't worry, the Sect Hierarch will handle it." Su Yingxue replied.

Hei Lian, upon hearing this, spat out a mass of black light, enveloping both herself and Su Yingxue.

The two merged into the night, quietly slipping into the void.

Meanwhile, on the deck of the Immortal Boat, Yuan Ming's clone experienced a violent collision, leaving his body in tatters.

The silver light screen that once enveloped the Immortal Boat had shattered and disappeared, and the tightly closed wooden door of the cabin was forcefully knocked open in the crash.

Yuan Ming's clone, enduring his broken body, rapidly chanted incantations.

The shattered body turned into a ball of green light and split in two.

One ball of green light flew into the cabin, while the other flew outside, disappearing into the rubble of the collapse.

At that moment, a silver ripple suddenly emerged in the underground space, as Wu Yu led the demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Country to emerge, landing in the already collapsed underground space.

Seeing the already fragmented Pillar Hongjun, excitement appeared on their faces, as if a millennia-long wish was finally fulfilled that day.

"Good, good, good..." The Black Bear King was so excited he could hardly speak a complete sentence, repeatedly expressing his approval.

Wu Yu sternly shouted, "Pillar Hongjun hasn't completely shattered, it's up to you now!"

Her voice echoed in the vast underground space, though not loud, yet it carried exceptional authority.

The nearby void suddenly flashed with a scarlet shadow as the Great Sun Glaze Flame appeared.

She opened her mouth and a golden light instantly enveloped her entire body, though surrounded by no flames, the rising scorching heat forced all the demon clan to retreat, distancing themselves.

A red light burst from the mouth of the Great Sun Glaze Flame, revealing a fiery red Spiritual Pearl.

This Spiritual Pearl emitted a terrifyingly powerful Fire Attribute Spiritual Power, yet it did not swell outward but was almost entirely restrained within the fiery red pearl, seemingly containing immense power.

"Go!"

The Great Sun Glaze Flame let out a low shout, and the fiery red Spiritual Pearl immediately transformed into a red light, rapidly striking the shattered Pillar Hongjun.

In the next instant, blazing flames suddenly erupted, revealing a gigantic red sun at the center.

The red sun emitted rolling flames of firelight, fiercely impacting the Pillar Hongjun.

The demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Country retreated even further, yet their faces were illuminated by the firelight of the red sun, all showing expressions of excitement.

The gigantic red sun, upon striking the Pillar Hongjun, suddenly exploded, unleashing an unfathomable spiritual pressure that twisted and shattered the void wherever it passed.

The cracks on the Pillar Hongjun widened further, as if they could completely crumble at any moment.

Just then, another change occurred.

The void beside the Pillar Hongjun suddenly twisted, and an unexpected figure appeared—Ancestor Bing Lan.

"Still a step too late..."

Ancestor Bing Lan looked at the Pillar Hongjun before him, his expression darkening, as a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

Then, his gaze fell on the Great Sun Glaze Flame and the demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Country, a deep dislike and uncontainable anger flickering in his eyes.
