How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

"What is this? Why... Why is it so terrifying?" the red-haired elder exclaimed.

Another elder shouted, "Look quickly!"

He pointed downwards.

A shockwave was sweeping in from below...

It seemed about to engulf their entire troop.

"Block it!" The red-haired elder struck out with a giant True Essence palm.

Boom!

The red-haired elder was flung high into the air, as this shockwave was something that even a giant of the enlightenment realm couldn't withstand.

He was thrown far away...

The troop at his feet also suffered; they were caught by the exploding aftermath that pursued them across 30 miles. A giant python was lifted, slamming into the cliff ahead, the hundred people on its back were left with a hundred wounds, bones and tendons severed.

Among the Lower Court Ten Elders, troops were divided into twelve paths. This path was the closest to the sect. Apart from two giants of the enlightenment realm, the rest perished.

And this was just the aftermath from 30 miles away.

The two elders looked at each other, the red-haired elder's lips quivered, "Outside, is it really the End of Dharma Era?"

The black-haired elder's face turned as pale as earth, "I think... I think we made a major mistake, a major mistake indeed. After four hundred years of war, occupying what we thought is an advantageous land, can this truly be such? Isn't it more of a guillotine?"

The Haoyuan Sect battled fiercely for over four hundred years to secure this land with a gateway to the outside world. They finally succeeded in exterminating tens of millions of native inhabitants, eagerly awaiting the day the portal would open to seize that world at the first opportunity.

Yet today, when the portal opened, they were met with the fiercest attack from the outside.

A single fireball destroyed the thousand-year legacy of the Haoyuan Sect.

They fought arduously for over four hundred years, only to die early? Isn't this the greatest irony?

"Shall we... shall we yet fight on?"

"Fight my ass! If you want to fight, go ahead; I still want to live a few more years..."

With a swoosh, the black-haired elder turned and fled.

Dignified giants of the enlightenment realm, scared witless — this was an unexpected gain from this nuclear bomb.

The strategy of attacking in a dispersed manner of Haoyuan Sect had some effectiveness after all.

The first benefit was dismantling Lin Xiaosu's asymmetrical tactic of the Heavenly Yin Yang Chaos Array.

The second was that the aftermath of the nuclear bomb did not hit them as hard.

Seven or eight squads even turned away and didn't see the state of the sect at all.

They were met with a familiar scene along the Cultivation Path...

Across stood thirteen enlightenment realm giants, with hundreds below.

Hua Miaoyi's heart raced.

As she delved deeper into this world, her use of True Essence became increasingly skillful. Her Dharma Body had grown from a hundred yards to a thousand, fully restoring her status as a Kun Cang giant.

Moreover, she faintly felt the Heaven and Earth Essence here surpassed that of Kun Cang.

A bottleneck untouched for years showed signs of loosening.

The other twelve giants of the enlightenment realm felt the same.

In Kun Cang, a semi-decaying place of cultivation, anyone who stood out and entered the enlightenment realm had to be of exceptional talent and possess an extremely high realm of understanding; otherwise, they wouldn't have reached the enlightenment realm.

Their progression was stalled mainly due to the limitations of Heaven and Earth Essence and Heavenly Tao Rules, which were thin and incomplete, preventing further advancement even at a hundred-foot pole.

Here, directly connected to the Ancient Great World, with dense essence and complete Heavenly Tao Rules, they all felt ecstatic at the first instance.

However, they also sensed pressure.

On the opposing side, there were fifteen enlightenment realm giants across twelve positions.

They were outnumbered, and each opponent had grown up in such an environment, with a more solid foundation.

This battle, tough!

Perhaps the toughest part was still below!

"First annihilate below to relieve pressure on the disciples!" Hua Miaoyi shouted.

As her voice fell, Hua Miaoyi took the lead.

A True Essence Giant Palm rose!

One palm struck down.

Below, a giant python leaped over the hill...

Boom!

The True Essence Giant Palm struck from above, reducing the python's flesh to pulp, and half of the hundred people on its back were slain.

This palm officially commenced the cultivation war.

The other enlightenment realm giants also raised their hands.

However, in the sky across, a slash came down!

This slash, though formed by True Essence, was sharp and tangible like the Heavenly Blade itself!

Hua Miaoyi's heart tightened, hands raised; around the True Essence Giant Palm, a hundred flowers bloomed, as if she were a real Baihua Fairy. The giant blade passed, the flowers withered, as if meeting a severe chill wind.

Hua Miaoyi's figure spun, transforming flowers into clouds, soaring into the sky to greet her real battle.

Whoosh!

Wind and clouds rolled wildly from all directions, the Haoyuan Sect's enlightenment giants acted in unison, the Kun Cang's enlightenment giants only managed to strike down two giant pythons below before being passively brought into the firmament. As soon as they ascended the firmament, they felt extreme oppression. Must admit, the foundation of enlightenment in the Desolate Ancient Realm was far stronger than that of Kun Cang.

Each one of them was no less than Abbot Kong Wen of the Three Buddha Temple.

In just one round, half of those from Kun Cang were driven back, with fewer than five able to withstand a single move without retreating.

But they retreated only to charge back immediately.

Everyone was very clear: if they lost this wave, all their previous glorious battle results would be in vain!

The disciples they brought along would also be entirely destroyed.

In an instant, they used all their trump cards, the sky seemed completely torn apart, the rarely seen or found war of enlightenment erupted completely...

The war of enlightenment, each strike earth-shattering, yet it was difficult for enlightenment against enlightenment to achieve a fatal blow with one strike.

Comparatively, the battle below of the Observing Heaven level was ten times more brutal.

Giant pythons slid down from the mountaintop, carrying an eerie impact, striking directly at the heart.

All the masters of Kun Cang were greatly shocked inwardly.

With a whoosh, someone leaped high into the air!

"Remember, I am Li Diandian!"

Bang!

A punch like rolling winds and clouds struck heavily on the giant python's head.

The giant python's head, like a small mountain, crashed heavily to the ground, and its body swung upwards, reaching the sky due to the massive inertia.

The power of this strike left everyone stunned.

Even Feng Ji seemed shocked, standing there blankly, gazing up at the giant python's tail crashing down from above.

On the python's back, a hundred masters flew up simultaneously, wielding swords and blades, with an overwhelming aura.

Hu Ya spun her body, fiercely charging forward.

Bang!

A Peeping Heaven Master rushing head-on had his head directly smashed.

The residual power of this punch wasn't finished yet, racing forward through the blood mist, bang! Again smashing another Peeping Heaven Master's head...

Clang!

A large saber came head-on, its blade dark like a ghost, slicing toward Hu Ya.

Hu Ya launched her left punch.

It struck the blade directly.

The saber was instantly vibrated away, as she followed through with her punch, astonishingly breaking through the mid-line of a team of over a hundred people in no time.

The valley on the left rumbled violently, as another giant python emerged from the valley. Haoyuan Sect's Lower Court's second route reached here, forming a siege.

They scattered to avoid falling into the array.

Now coming together, they're sweeping through all obstacles.

In front of the valley, someone appeared out of thin air—a blonde beauty.

The giant python opened its mouth wide to swallow this blonde beauty.

She was none other than Saintess Qian Ling.

Saintess Qian Ling's hands suddenly came together, two index fingers pointing straight at the sky, with green light emanating from her fingertips.

Chii!

The grass on the ground suddenly grew wildly.

Swish!

Both the giant python and the hundred people on its back were simultaneously entangled tightly by the wildly growing grass.

The masters on the python's back were shocked: "Spirit Clan?"

Struggled desperately, but at this moment, the seemingly weak grass had astonishing resilience, and even Peeping Heaven Masters could not tear it apart.

However, the python was the exception, as it moved forward, breaking free from all restraints.

Saintess Qian Ling's hair floated high, and a virtual image of a large tree swayed on her forehead. She was already on the verge of collapse, but she persisted, as the python continued relentlessly approaching her.

It seemed she was about to perish when suddenly a light smoke rose, appearing by her side, forming into a shy little beauty dressed in Tibetan clan attire.

Her hand lifted, and her palm turned from jade white to a gray mist.

The gray misty palm fell on the python's head.

The python's eyes filled with fierce light suddenly turned a dull gray; although still moving forward by inertia, plowing a deep trench into the ground, it was no longer a living python but rather a dead piece of wood.

Saintess Qian Ling rejoiced: "Death Rule! Good, let's perform a life-and-death transformation!"

"Life-and-death transformation... I don't know how!" Dawa said: "You say it, I'll do it!"

"Exert fully, I'll operate it!"

Dawa's full force poured out from her palm, and the virtual tree on Saintess Qian Ling's forehead vibrated, transforming into thousands of phantom tentacles connecting with the grass on the ground...

"Spirit Annihilation Thousand Miles!"

With her voice falling, Dawa's death aura used the grass controlled by Saintess Qian Ling as a bridge, injecting into the bodies of the hundred masters on the python's back.

The hundred masters' eyes all simultaneously turned white, with all struggling forces vanishing into smoke.

Saintess Qian Ling staggered dangerously, nearly toppling over, and Dawa was similarly on the verge of collapse.

With their combined power, it was impossible to forcefully kill over a hundred Peeping Heaven Masters, but they succeeded because Saintess Qian Ling used a forbidden technique.

Wood Vitality, together with the Death Rule, achieved a life-and-death transformation.

Two routes charged forward, Hu Ya broke through halfway, getting entangled in a fierce battle.

Saintess Qian Ling and Dawa cooperated, nearly wiping out one route.

Yet, the third route and fourth route had already entered the fray.

People on the Kun Cang Cultivation Path jumped up, suffering heavy casualties in moments.

Saintess Qian Ling took a deep breath: "Dawa, again!"

"Alright!"

Both took steps forward into the crowd, Saintess Qian Ling's form floated, immediately altering the battlefield ahead, as the grass wildly grew, and Dawa's entire body emanated a death aura, bringing the presence of a grim reaper wherever she went.

Their True Qi nature was completely opposite, yet as they came side by side, they seemed like black and white impermanence...

Suddenly, the sky darkened!

Saintess Qian Ling's gaze sharply lifted, shocked.

Above the sky, a True Essence Giant Palm descended, aiming directly at her and Dawa.

Haoyuan Enlightenment Realm had fifteen giants, Kun Cang only had thirteen.

Once the Enlightenment Realm connected, they tumbled and rolled, battling across hundreds of miles of sky, but there were two missing giants in the Enlightenment Realm.

This absence was fatal.

The person also saw Saintess Qian Ling and Dawa were extraordinary and directly aimed to eliminate them.

Saintess Qian Ling's heart sank.

At this moment, she could absolutely not withstand Enlightenment Realm's combat power.

Could it be that she, a Heavenly Pride Saintess comparable to the Ancient Great Power, was about to die at the hands of these riffraff?

Just when it seemed there was no way out above and no entry below...

Feng Ji suddenly transformed!
