Chapter 298: The Ultimate Battle

“Cutting Heaven Sword Art.”

“War God’s Descent.”

“Buddha’s Realm in the Palm.”

“Heaven and Earth’s Power.”

…

At this moment, Meng Hao, Sword Peerless, Lu Yan, Zong Hentian, and Mie Qiongqi unleashed their ultimate strength, resisting the palm descending from the sky.

“How can I let my junior brothers face this alone? Today, I, Zhang Erdog, will do everything I can to assist them,” Zhang Erdog’s blood surged with passion. He flicked his sleeves, and countless peculiar pills flew into the air.

But in an instant, those pills shattered upon touching Han Yongyi’s overwhelming aura, proving utterly useless.

Zhang Erdog let out a helpless sigh.

“I’m still too weak,” he muttered in disappointment. The pills he had painstakingly developed shattered before even reaching the enemy, leaving him deeply disheartened.

Yet, seeing the admiration in his juniors’ eyes, Zhang Erdog felt a slight joy within. He turned his gaze toward the distance—his junior brother was in danger, and he wondered how things would turn out.

“What are you all doing here? I can handle this alone,” Mie Qiongqi, proud and self-respecting, was displeased by their interference.

“Senior Brother Mie, with the sect in crisis, how can we let you take all the glory?” Meng Hao managed a faint smile.

“Why waste words? This opponent is too strong for us to handle,” Sword Peerless said, his aura splitting the heavens as he focused on the void.

“You’re all stepping stones to me; how dare you die here,” Lu Yan declared arrogantly.

“Fearless junior,” Mie Qiongqi sneered slightly.

…

“Hmph, a group of clowns daring to rival the moon’s brilliance?” Han Yongyi in the void sneered, “A bunch of ants daring to challenge the heavens? It’s nothing but self-destruction.”

“Hmph, though I am only at the peak of the Lesser Heaven Realm, today I shall see just how mighty your Greater Heaven Realm truly is.”

“Undying Body!”

Mie Qiongqi roared, unleashing the “Immortal and Indestructible” technique. A devastating aura erupted, and an ancient phantom appeared behind him, roaring with immense power.

“Battle Heaven and Eradicate Earth!”

Sword Peerless slashed with a sword that shattered heaven and earth, his sword intent sweeping across the sky. An old white-haired figure transformed into a colossal sword intent, soaring into the heavens.

“Suppress!”

Lu Yan roared, golden light bursting from his body. A series of meditating Buddhas emerged, chanting sacred scriptures, their mighty force resisting the descending palm.

…

At this moment, the descending palm was actually held back by the group, shocking the disciples of the sect.

Yan Hongyu, heavily injured, allowed a faint smile to appear. The sect would not perish. With so many gifted disciples, they must not be allowed to die.

“Hmph, trash…” Han Yongyi coldly snorted in the void, his voice rumbling like thunder. The power of that palm surged dramatically.

“Boom!”

A deafening roar echoed. Lu Yan’s Buddhas shattered one after another, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward. Sword Peerless’ sword intent bent and finally turned to dust.

“So strong…” everyone’s faces changed. Indeed, a cultivator at the peak of the Greater Heaven Realm was overwhelmingly powerful, far beyond their ability to resist.

Even these gifted disciples were helpless before such absolute power.

“One on one, I’ll destroy everything. Ten Thousand Worlds Perish!” At this moment, the only one still standing, Mie Qiongqi, roared to the heavens. His body spewed blood, and a stronger aura erupted. That ancient phantom seemed to sever heaven and earth, transcending all to attain eternal existence.

“Quite an amusing fellow. Pity, all for naught,” Liang Yongyi sneered, his aura suddenly exploding.

“Puh!” The pressure surged instantly. Mie Qiongqi spat blood continuously, and that ancient phantom shattered instantly. Before such absolute power, all rebellious techniques were useless.

“Junior brother…” Zhang Erdog cried out in alarm, rushing to support Mie Qiongqi.

Mie Qiongqi, always cold and aloof, now had a distant gaze, as if he might dissipate at any moment. “Senior Brother, I’ve done my best. I did not disgrace the Sacred Devil Sect.”

“Junior Brother, don’t speak. You’ve done enough. Even the Sect Leader wouldn’t criticize you,” Zhang Erdog wept, seeing Mie Qiongqi’s condition. Though his junior brother had always treated him coldly, he still deeply respected him.

“No, the Sect Leader ordered me to protect the Sacred Devil Sect. Even if I die in battle, I must not disappoint him.” At this moment, Mie Qiongqi’s weak eyes shone again, and the dissipating aura surged once more.

“Junior Brother!” Seeing Mie Qiongqi’s condition, Zhang Erdog shouted in alarm.

“Ah…”

Mie Qiongqi floated in the void, roaring to the heavens, “Even if I shed the last drop of my blood, I will protect the Sacred Devil Sect. No one shall trespass!”

“Junior Brother, enough! You’ve done enough! Don’t go anymore, you’ll die!” Zhang Erdog screamed desperately.

“No, even if I shed the last drop of my blood, I must protect the Sacred Devil Sect!” At this moment, Mie Qiongqi’s fighting spirit reached its peak.

“Ten Thousand Worlds Perish!” Mie Qiongqi roared, his true essence boiling, blood gushing from his body, dyeing the entire sky.

“Hmph, a fearless fool,” Han Yongyi sneered, then struck again. This palm was even fiercer than before.

“Even if my soul shatters, I will protect the Sacred Devil Sect!” At this moment, Mie Qiongqi unleashed an unprecedented force—an essence drawn from the void itself.

“Die!” Mie Qiongqi burned his life force, and that heaven-covering palm surged toward Han Yongyi.

Mie Qiongqi, once seen as an ant, unleashed infinite power. Han Yongyi’s expression changed, sensing that force, and roared, “Heaven-Shaking Palm!”

Han Yongyi’s aura raged uncontrollably, his true essence twisting. With one palm, the buildings of the sect shattered endlessly.

To protect the sect, Mie Qiongqi was ready to die, unleashing his final strength. At this moment, Mie Qiongqi’s expression changed. Seeing the aura from Han Yongyi heading toward the distant buildings, he roared and changed direction, flying toward the distance.

In Mie Qiongqi’s eyes, that was Nameless Peak, where Sect Leader’s beloved junior sister, Zi Qiao, was hidden.

Inside a secret chamber, Zi Qiao nestled in Gong Bingye’s arms, having already heard the battle outside. “Sister Gong, will everything be okay outside?”

“It will be fine,” Gong Bingye comforted, though she herself was uncertain.

The Sacred Sect was a great sect, yet now under attack by a powerful enemy.

“No good…” At this moment, Gong Bingye’s expression changed. She sensed a powerful force approaching.

Under that force, Gong Bingye’s face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and shielded Zi Qiao.

“Sister Gong, what are you doing?” Zi Qiao asked.

“Don’t be afraid,” Gong Bingye’s lips were pale, her body trembling slightly. She closed her eyes, waiting for the force’s arrival.

“Boom!”

In an instant, the heavens collapsed and the earth split. A scream echoed.

When Gong Bingye opened her eyes, she saw Mie Qiongqi had taken the blow, lying there, his breath weak.

“Mie Qiongqi…” Gong Bingye stared in shock.

“Protect… junior sister,” Mie Qiongqi’s voice grew weaker. After those final words, he lay motionless.

Zi Qiao stared at the scene, her wide eyes filled with terror, deeply shocking her young heart.

“Senior Brother…” Zi Qiao broke free from Gong Bingye and rushed to Mie Qiongqi’s side, ignoring the scattered bag carried by the wind, shaking his arm desperately.

“Senior Brother, wake up…” Tears streamed from Zi Qiao’s large eyes. In the Sacred Devil Sect, besides Lin Fan, the two she loved most were Zhang Erdog and Mie Qiongqi.

Though Mie Qiongqi was cold, he deeply cared for Zi Qiao, often taking her soaring through the skies to see strange creatures when no one was around.

Yet in public, he resumed his cold demeanor, as if warning everyone not to provoke him.

“Senior Brother, wake up…” Zi Qiao cried, shaking Mie Qiongqi’s shoulders.

But Mie Qiongqi lay motionless like the dead, his bloodied body indicating he was on the brink of death.

“Roar…”

The Snow King Lion roared, then leaped from Zi Qiao’s arms, running toward the distance.

“Xiao Bai, don’t run…” Cai Zi Qiao hurriedly chased after.

“Zi Qiao, don’t go out!” Gong Bingye panicked and rushed out immediately.

…

“What happened? Why did Junior Brother Mie suddenly change direction?” Zhang Erdog was deeply puzzled. When he looked toward the distance, his expression changed instantly.

That was Nameless Peak…
