In the western mountain forests, a man and a woman wielding the Sky-piercing Halberd stared at the horrifying battlefield, their faces filled with shock.

What kind of catastrophe has Tiantu Mountain brought upon itself?

Whom exactly has Luo Tiantu provoked?

Among the ambush team here, there were undoubtedly two Lie Tian disciples.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for two Lietian Divine Hammers to appear in the skies!

There was also an Ash disciple from the Sea Realm, wielding the Sea Realm Technique · Ten-Thousand Dragons Subjugating Sea Arrow.

Another Sea Realm disciple, a Night Charm, had unleashed the Sea Realm Technique · Thousand Night Shadows!

These were the confirmed participants, but as for those hidden in the dark... who knew how many more there were...

"Huh?" The young man slightly parted his lips, and even though he was far from the battlefield, he could feel the earth trembling beneath his feet.

The woman gripped her Sky-piercing Halberd tightly, her gaze fixed on the dazzling golden brilliance erupting in the distance.

Dragon Carp Divine Technique · Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat?

Judging by the size of that giant golden fish, it must at least be a Sea Grade Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat!

To think the ambush team was hiding a Sea Realm · Dragon Carp believer?

At this moment, the heart of the East Thunder female believer was filled with astonishment, which quickly turned into immeasurable rage.

When Luo Tiantu visited Thunder Mountain to seek protection, he had explicitly stated: Tiantu Mountain had faced conflict with a River Realm · Evil Dog believer.

The Evil Dog believer had an Immortal Sheep disciple by his side.

And that was it.

Tiantu Mountain had been wise enough not to provoke any strong organizations.

This...?

Luo Tiantu, oh Luo Tiantu, does a single word of truth ever escape your mouth?!

If I had known Tiantu Mountain had angered such a terrifying group, why would Thunder Mountain send people to help?

"Po~"

The giant fish emitted a strange sound.

With a colossal Dragon Carp over 800 meters in size, it wasn't just planning to knock Luo Tiantu and Lady Kong away.

This single Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat was set to destroy this entire small mountain!

"No! No!!" Lady Kong screamed hysterically, her hair a disheveled mess.

Just moments ago, she thought her authority was being challenged, and her rage had momentarily surpassed her fear.

But now, Lady Kong was utterly panicked!

She hadn't expected that an expert from the Sea Realm was hiding deep underground.

What kind of organization is this?

What on earth did Tiantu Mountain do to provoke them?

This time, I'm afraid I won't survive...

Lady Kong had nowhere left to escape, still trapped within the cuboid constructed by the Golden Jade Talisman, as the massive fish's head propelled her out of the subterranean depths.

A swarm of crazed Canglong surged forward, crashing into the Golden Jade Talisman, encircling the cuboid completely, cutting off all of Lady Kong's escape routes.

"Puh!"

Lady Kong desperately employed her skills, crushing Frost Talismans one after another.

Thick frost and snow spread out, coating the bodies of the small Canglong in layers of freezing chill.

Without a doubt, the Jade Talisman Sect was incredibly powerful!

This sect excelled in techniques of four different attributes, always able to find fitting strategies against any foe.

The water-bound forms of the small Canglong were rapidly frozen by the thick frost, dramatically reducing both their flight speed and impact force.

Those that managed to squeeze through the gaps and enter the cuboid were even directly frozen solid by the frost surrounding Lady Kong!

Everything seemingly started moving in a better direction.

The only problem... was that...

The Lietian Divine Hammer had arrived!

The flames burning on the massive hammer appeared to be freezing as well, but the terrifying force of its downward strike remained intact.

Lu Ran's Lietian Divine Hammer shattered countless snow sculptures formed by the Canglong swarms!

"Crash!"

The Golden Jade Talisman at the top, already covered in cracks, completely crumbled under the impact of the giant hammer.

Amid the dense frost, Lady Kong abruptly lifted her head.

She could see nothing, but she could sense the overwhelming and terrifying aura spreading across the skies. She hurriedly tried to manipulate another Golden Jade Talisman...

"Boom!!"

The hundred-meter-sized hammer absorbed everything around it, including the tiny Jade Talisman and the even smaller human amid it all.

Rather than targeting Lady Kong, the Lietian Divine Hammer seemed intent on smashing the fish...

The Lietian Divine Hammer struck heavily at the fish's head, producing another resonant explosion.

As with most sects' River Realm techniques, the Lietian Divine Skill · Lietian Divine Hammer inflicted dual-stage damage.

The first stage: collision.

The second stage... explosion!

"Boom!!"

A mushroom cloud soared into the sky, with a horrifying shockwave rolling outward like a vortex.

Trees snapped and were uprooted entirely, blown into the distant night.

The Golden Jade Talisman beneath the hammer had shattered, Lady Kong's Water Flow Armor lay in pieces, and her mortal flesh was crushed between the hammer and the fish's head.

The upward momentum of the gigantic fish was suddenly halted, forcibly stopped by the Divine Hammer.

Fine cracks spread over the fish's head, leaving it brittle and as fragile as it could get, ready to shatter at any moment.

"Crack!!"

The fish head exploded.

The Mad Immortal Guardian's Lietian Divine Hammer had landed!

Her Divine Hammer struck heavily against Lu Ran's, crushing the small human beneath, along with the large fish head in one fell swoop.

"Smash! Smash! Smash!" Si Xianxian roared furiously.

"Boom!!"

The Mad Immortal's Divine Hammer unleashed its second-stage damage, wreaking havoc.

As for the once-proud Lady Kong, there was no need to describe her fate—it was beyond "torn apart." She had become nothing more than a pile of flesh.

If even Lady Kong had met such a grim fate, there was no need to mention the seemingly lifeless Yu Lengshan.

It was simply a pity for the Magic Artifact · Jade Flower Hairpin and Divine Weapon · Sky Scar Sword.

These prized tools, sought after fervently by all, were completely pulverized under the combined obliteration of the Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat and twin Lietian Divine Hammers.

All of this transpired within mere seconds.

Bear in mind, Lady Kong was not the only one propelled out by the fish's impact!

Since Luo Tiantu had already fled underground for a few seconds, venturing westward, he was also thrown westward when the fish head struck him.

Now, rewind the clock by several seconds.

"Ah!" Luo Tiantu let out a pained scream. Originally fleeing along the Flowing Sand River, the crashing Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat suddenly emerged.

He was struck dizzy and disoriented, his blood and energy churning chaotically.

"Hmm?" Deng Yuxiang suddenly turned her head.

Enemies meeting one another? Their hatred surged to the forefront!

She raised her hand high, and in the distant night sky, a terrifying Evil Blade over a thousand meters long rapidly materialized.

At that very moment, Lu Ran's Lietian Divine Hammer erupted in a devastating explosion!

The resulting shockwaves surged forward, engulfing Luo Tiantu's entire being and flinging him away.

"Pfff..."

Luo Tiantu's throat felt sweet, unable to suppress the churning blood and energy within him. He spewed out fresh blood.

"Die!" Deng Yuxiang's eyes turned sharp, and the Divine Power Bead Chain around her neck suddenly lit up, replenishing her Divine Power.

She gripped the humming broken blade tightly and slashed down with ferocity.

Evil Technique · Night Charm Evil Blade!

"Sh*t!" Blood dripped from the corners of Luo Tiantu's mouth as he squeezed out a curse through clenched teeth.

Twisting his body sharply, he desperately tried to escape the slash radius of the Night Charm Evil Blade.

However, in the distant night sky, the thousand-meter Evil Blade continued slicing downward, its blade adjusting its trajectory.

The moonlight shone brightly upon the earth.

But none of it touched Luo Tiantu.

The massive shadow cast by the Evil Blade completely shrouded him.

"Stop! Stop! No!!" Luo Tiantu's face darkened, his heart pounding in his throat.

"Whoosh!!"

The Night Charm Evil Blade crashed down heavily.

At the critical moment, Luo Tiantu unleashed an astonishing survival instinct, kicking sideways against the Golden Jade Talisman.

"Swish~"

Using the rebound force, Luo Tiantu rapidly veered to the side.

"Whoosh!!"

Of course, the Night Charm Evil Blade possessed dual-stage damage—the terrifying gusts of air exploded outward from the blade's sides.

The already devastated forest around them was, yet again, completely overturned.

Meanwhile, in the more western mountain forests...

The young man wielding the Sky-piercing Halberd was enveloped in crackling currents of electricity.

"Tan Dong!" The East Thunder female believer grabbed the young man's wrist, shouting lowly, "What are you doing?"

"Xiqing, loyalty demands duty!" The East Thunder disciple Tan Dong declared with righteous fervor.

Zhang Xiqing: ???

Technically, this statement wasn't wrong.

Over the past few months, every time Luo Tiantu departed on a mission, he adhered to agreements, allowing the duo to first absorb Holy Spirit Energy.

But given the current battle situation...

Are you really planning to save Luo Tiantu?

Have you gone mad?

"Crack!" Suddenly, lightning struck Tan Dong.

East Thunder Divine Technique · Thunderstruck Phase!

This skill was aptly named; whenever East Thunder believers used it, they seemed touched by the grace of the Divine · Dongting.

Under the purple lightning's influence, Tan Dong's body was activated to an extreme degree, boosting all attributes!

"The enemy is indeed strong, but we have absolute speed advantage! Don't engage directly—let's bring Luo Village Chief back home!"

Tan Dong spoke quickly; surrounded by surging electricity, he dashed forward.

East Thunder Divine Technique · Rapid Light Flash!

Tan Dong's gaze flickered with calculation, his thoughts far more intricate than his spoken words.

Luo Tiantu and the Thunder Mountain Master were on particularly good terms.

The Mountain Master had advocated for the duo rigorously, awarding them favorable assignments, though this had stirred considerable resentment among other Thunder Mountain disciples.

Now that Tiantu Mountain was annihilated, the duo's return wouldn't go over well without an explanation.

Their standing within the mountain would deteriorate sharply.

The ambushing group clearly knew of them, and such a fearsome organization... would they even spare the duo?

Confronting such an entity required caution—even Thunder Mountain must tread carefully.

Though flawed in many respects, Luo Tiantu remained a Sea Realm expert—a formidable force.

Whether he allied with Thunder Mountain or was utilized in some other capacity, that was for the Mountain Master to decide.

For now, their duty was to recover this "treasure" and present him before their Mountain Master.

Returning to Thunder Mountain would bring inevitable punishment.

But privately, their Mountain Master might harbor delight at the arrival of a homeless yet powerful Jade Talisman disciple!

This was the correct course... Hmm?

Tan Dong's face stiffened, an overwhelming presence engulfing him!

He gripped his halberd tightly, shouting furiously:

"Cha!!"

East Thunder Divine Technique · Thunder Shock!

This was a Battle Roar Technique that left foes in a dazed state, immobile where they stood.

Unexpectedly, the incoming party screamed sharply in reply, their voice piercingly shrill:

"Eek!!"

Evil Technique · Sea Merfolk Song!

Tan Dong felt as if his head would split apart, his mind lost in dizziness!

Even Lu Ran, who had shut off Evil Technique · Evil Recognition, winced in agony, feeling as if his eardrums might rupture!

Yet, on the mental level, Lu Ran remained unfazed.

Dazed?

Impossible—how could one who lived entirely driven by willpower succumb to spiritual disruptions?

Ever heard of Sea Merfolk Evil Technique · Sea's Will?

No?

How about Evil Spear Emperor Evil Technique · Evil Cloud Will?

Or Ghost General Evil Technique · Ghost General's Will?

This one's entire being was infused with determination—the world's chaos could never disturb his inner focus!

"Ding!"

A flash of light pierced through, as a sharp blade slashed heavily against the halberd shaft.

A disciple famed for their "absolute speed" as an East Thunder believer had been intercepted—by an Evil Dog!

"Ugh." Tan Dong let out an eerie groan, feeling a numbness in his tiger's mouth.

Though his thoughts were cloudy, Tan Dong retained impressive strength courtesy of Thunderstruck Phase, preventing the Sky-piercing Halberd from slipping from his grasp. However...

The halberd was merely a mundane weapon, while the Dawn Blade was a Divine Weapon!

Not only that, it had unlocked its Domain—becoming a Second-stage Divine Weapon!

"Crack," a crisp sound rang out.

The halberd shaft broke under the slash of the Dawn Blade!

Momentum surging, Lu Ran unleashed his maxed-out Fierce Heavenly Power, continuing the blade's arc towards Tan Dong's head!

"Screech..."

A trail carved from forehead to chin, the Water Flow Armor on Tan Dong's face split, exposing a trickling bloodline.

"Snik!"

The blade stabbed deep!

The Dawn Blade sliced through Tan Dong's jaw, and the Eight Desolate Blade shot forward, piercing Tan Dong's brow.

The weapon skewered him, pinning him to the ground.

Lu Ran's chest heaved as he stared coldly, his gaze fixed on the lifeless body of the East Thunder disciple beneath his feet:

"You just love meddling, don't you?"
