The Imperial Clan lost another member, driving the younger generation of cultivators from the other realm into a frenzied, bloodthirsty counterattack!
The desert became a gruesome battlefield, with divine artifacts soaring into the skies and weapons shattering mid-combat. Blood splattered everywhere, corpses fell endlessly—it was a scene of utter brutality.
“Retreat, now!”
Someone from the Imperial Pass roared. This battle could no longer be sustained. In terms of sheer strength, they were vastly outmatched by the other realm.
“You who wield the treasure tree—prepare to die! Your life is forfeit!”
With a thunderous crash, the heavens split as a peak-level cultivator at the Dunyi Realm charged forth, eyes crimson with fury, swearing to slay the Ten Crown King!
This was a powerhouse on the verge of stepping into the Supreme Venerable domain, wielding a divine artifact with overwhelming killing intent.
His gaze locked onto the Ten Crown King, the Banished Immortal, and Shi Yi. His hair stood on end, his eyes bloodshot, radiating a chilling murderous aura like a demonic god of slaughter.
At this point, even Supreme Venerables were tempted to intervene, unable to bear the sheer brutality of the battle.
**BOOM!**
In that moment, the Ten Crown King and the Banished Immortal stood side by side, channeling their divine power, swinging their weapons toward the heavens!
The void shattered, the sky trembled, and the laws of the Great Dao descended.
It was the World Sapling unleashing its might—though only a foot tall and still in its sprouting phase, its power was unfathomable, capable of invoking the Great Dao to suppress all.
**SHING!**
At the same time, a blinding radiance erupted as the Banished Immortal’s ancient horn tore through the firmament like the most terrifying lightning strike.
That was the Horn of the Heavenly Ant, representing the pinnacle of strength, engraved with terrifying runes that could crush all things—breaking ten thousand techniques with sheer force!
A relic shed by a True Immortal, its power was beyond imagination!
The peak Dunyi Realm expert who had been diving down from the sky was both shocked and enraged. Despite his overwhelming killing intent, he had no choice but to retreat, evading the deadly assault.
Even someone as powerful as him dared not recklessly face the World Sapling and that ancient horn.
Suo Ming had fallen precisely because he was struck by the World Sapling and cleaved apart by the horn, suffering fatal wounds that rapidly drained his vitality.
“Ah—!”
In the distance, Tuogu Yulong let out a bloodcurdling scream as a silver war spear pierced through his body, sending him flying hundreds of feet before pinning him to the ground with a sickening **thud**.
**CRACK!**
Half of his body exploded, leaving him in a pitiful state, barely clinging to life.
“Yulong!”
A woman shrieked, rushing toward him—one of the Four Phoenixes of the Wei Clan.
But from afar, a cyan divine arrow streaked through the air, carrying overwhelming runes and resonating with the Great Dao.
The heavens darkened in its wake, its power terrifying beyond measure.
The other three Phoenixes of the Wei Clan screamed in desperation, but they were too far to intervene.
The arrow was too horrifying—it split the heavens, carving a black void in its path, annihilating everything in its way.
Though the Wei Clan’s phoenix summoned crimson flames, transforming into a fiery bird to shield herself, it was too late.
**THUD!**
The arrow pierced through her armor, shattered her protective runes, and impaled her chest—before her entire body exploded in an instant.
Blood splashed across the desert.
One of the Four Phoenixes of the Wei Clan had perished, her beauty extinguished in a tragic death.
“Ah—!”
Tuogu Yulong let out a beast-like roar, struggling to rise despite half his body being gone, his eyes tearing with grief and fury.
That was his betrothed—their engagement had only just been finalized. The war was nearly over, the dawn of peace within sight, yet now she was gone forever.
“KILL THEM ALL—!”
Tuogu Yulong went berserk, dragging his broken body forward in a desperate charge.
The remaining three Phoenixes of the Wei Clan, though women, were no less ferocious, their eyes burning with bloodlust as they surged forward.
“Fall back!”
Shi Yi intercepted them, his dual-pupils glowing as he erected a barrier, trying to stop them. At this stage, the Imperial Pass forces were at a severe disadvantage—if they kept fighting, they would all die.
“Ah—my sister! AAAAAH—!” The three women wept tears of blood, knowing the dual-pupiled one meant well, trying to save them.
“Retreat!”
Even the Ten Crown King and the Banished Immortal barked the order, covering the retreat as they began to withdraw.
“You with the treasure tree and the horn—stay where you are!” More than one peak Dunyi Realm expert pursued them, determined to hunt down these two powerhouses.
“People of the Imperial Pass, I’ll give you a chance! If you dare, put down those treasures and face me one-on-one! I’ll slaughter you all!” someone roared.
These beings were furious, convinced that the Ten Crown King had only slain Suo Ming of the Imperial Clan because of his treasures—otherwise, he wouldn’t have stood a chance.
“With so many of you, should I kill you one by one?” the Ten Crown King sneered. With a thunderous crash, he swung the World Sapling once more.
“Prepare to die!”
A deafening roar echoed as another terrifying aura surged forth—a mighty cultivator wielding a trident, its pressure blanketing the entire desert.
“A Supreme Venerable artifact?!” The Imperial Pass forces paled.
That trident was horrifying—even if not a true Supreme Venerable weapon, it was close, radiating enough killing intent to shake the stars.
**BOOM!**
The Ten Crown King and the Banished Immortal acted in unison, wielding the World Sapling and the ancient horn against the descending artifact.
The heavens trembled as Supreme Venerable-level energy erupted.
The clash shattered the sky!
At the same time, another arrow tore through the void, piercing through defenses and striking its target.
**THUD!**
Yi Yi of the Sacred Academy was hit—his body exploded instantly, annihilated on the spot.
**SHING!**
The bowstring thrummed again, another arrow loosed.
“Ah—!”
Lan Xian screamed—this peerlessly beautiful woman, who had cultivated three strands of immortal qi, was struck as well. Her body shattered under the overwhelming force.
A seed materialized, spinning rapidly as it wrapped around her soul and remnants of flesh, retreating at lightning speed.
That was the Flawless Ancient Seed!
It had saved her life.
The archer in the distance was too deadly, picking off the Imperial Pass’s geniuses one after another—unstoppable.
Everyone shuddered, retreating swiftly.
This battle had been brutal—the other realm had lost elites, including an Imperial Clan member, while the Nine Heavens side had also suffered heavy casualties.
**SLASH!**
Blades of energy crisscrossed the battlefield as enemies pursued, clashing once more with the retreating forces.
**THUD!**
A head rolled—another of the Wei Clan’s Four Phoenixes had fallen, her beautiful head severed, eyes wide with unwillingness. Her soul had been shredded by the blade’s energy.
The young elites of the other realm were too ferocious, their strength terrifying.
Shi Yi turned back, charging into the fray. He had tried to stop the remaining three Phoenixes, yet one had still perished.
“KILL THEM ALL!”
The other realm’s forces pursued like a tide of beasts, their murderous aura suffocating.
**BOOM!**
The sky trembled as a deafening explosion erupted.
The Ten Crown King and the Banished Immortal had shattered the Dunyi Realm expert’s artifact—and even cracked it apart.
**THUD!**
Enraged by the deaths of their comrades, the two powerhouses unleashed their treasures’ full might, their sacred radiance tearing the peak Dunyi expert apart.
“GO, NOW!”
They roared, covering the retreat while fending off pursuers.
**BOOM!**
Then—true Supreme Venerable energy erupted in the distance.
A genuine Supreme Venerable had bestowed a secret treasure, allowing their descendants to wield it on the battlefield.
Moreover, a Supreme Venerable’s cold gaze swept over them, dripping with killing intent.
**RUMBLE!**
Elsewhere, Shi Hao was engulfed in a sea of heavenly tribulation, lightning crashing down endlessly as he fought Hao Feng.
The two clashed fiercely.
The tribulation was a hindrance—its power was overwhelming, drowning Shi Hao in an unending storm.
Hao Feng kept his distance, attacking from afar, unwilling to step into the tribulation’s range.
“KILL!”
Shi Hao charged toward the other realm’s forces, intending to unleash carnage—but each time, Hao Feng would retaliate by hunting down the Imperial Pass’s geniuses.
It was a threat—if Shi Hao dared slaughter the other realm’s warriors, Hao Feng would do the same to his allies.
“Stop him!”
Shi Hao growled, sending a mental message to the Ten Crown King and the Banished Immortal—with their treasures, they could handle it.
**BOOM!**
The two acted decisively, intercepting Hao Feng.
Meanwhile, Shi Hao dove toward the other realm’s young elites, lightning trailing behind him as he unleashed his fury.
