Boom—
A beam of golden light shot into the sky. Pagoda Peak shattered in its wake, and a mushroom cloud bearing golden divine radiance rose straight into the heavens.
"Demon God?!"
The Shushan higher-ups had been in a meeting within Infinite Palace. Startled by the sudden upheaval, they immediately mobilized in full force.
Ever since Tuntun had come to Shushan, they had made contingency plans for such a scenario. There were no Shushan disciples around or atop Pagoda Peak, lest an accident harm the innocent. But this had come far too suddenly, without the slightest warning.
When Chu Liang arrived with the others, he saw a tiny black figure within the golden pillar shooting skyward. She swayed from side to side, and wherever her finger pointed, a streak of golden light spilled forth.
High Person Wen Yuan hurriedly swept his sleeve to contain it. The Primordial Great Dao opened, and the instant the golden light emerged, he shifted it elsewhere with a spatial transference. But how could the Demon God's spiritual power be so easily borne? After several such attacks, he was already beginning to struggle.
"We need to stop her quickly!" Daoist Yan shouted, about to summon the Shushan Divine Vessel.
"The god's condition doesn't seem right!" Caiyi stopped her. "I'll go take a look. Cover me!"
Caiyi shot into the air, risking her life as she flew against the chaotic golden radiance, trying to approach Tuntun. Yet just as she reached the edge of the light, Tuntun abruptly turned and swayed. The golden light filling the sky trembled, spreading outward in ripples and instantly forcing Caiyi back.
Boom—
Caiyi brushed past a streak of divine light and nearly got pierced through. Fortunately, she retreated in time and narrowly dodged it.
"What exactly happened?" Bai Ze frowned as well.
