Hundreds of feet underground, the surrounding area is filled with concentrated Rock and Earth.

Because Divine Sense solid matter greatly increases the burden on Divine Sense.

The deeper you go underground, the greater the pressure becomes, and the more extreme this energy expenditure becomes.

Therefore, underground, Su Bai's Divine Sense was greatly compressed, almost to its limit.

It's nowhere near as exaggerated as the distance of over three thousand miles on the ground.

As for the Thousand Wood Old Ancestor on the ground, his Divine Sense was unable to penetrate such a deep layer of earth, and he could not directly observe Su Bai's exact location with his own Divine Sense.

Su Bai's location can only be detected through close-range sensing by Thousand Wood Clone.

But Su Bai is different.

It possesses the [Mountain Spirit's Gift] from the bloodline of the Near Ancient Tier Nightmare Rat Bloodline. Although this Bloodline only imprisons the Bloodline, it is effective enough.

It allows him to sense the creatures around him through the Earth Veins.

With the assistance of [Child of Earth Yin], Su Bai was completely at ease underground, easily able to detect the movements of his Wood Clone.

And then seize the opportunity to deliver a heavy blow to Thousand Wood Clone.

At this moment, Su Bai darted through the Rock and Earth, keenly seizing an excellent opportunity.

A lone Thousand Wood Clone by the lock-on sensor.

Without hesitation, he turned and swam away, like a nimble loach, silently passing through a patch of Earth Flow.

The instant he peeked out, Su Bai used Earth Escape Technique to melt the surrounding Earth Flow.

Making it softer would allow Su Bai's fists to exert their power.

Su Bai suddenly swung his right hand, unleashing a powerful punch like a cannonball.

With a loud "bang," the Wood Clone exploded instantly after taking the punch, turning into a cloud of green mist that dispersed among the Rock and Earth.

Su Bai continued searching for his next target.

Almost every ten breaths, it can kill a Thousand Wood Clone.

On the ground, the expression of the Thousand Wood Old Ancestor changed frequently.

After a while...

"Hmm?" Su Bai suddenly exclaimed in surprise. His senses told him that the densely packed Thousand Wood Clone had actually begun to retreat.

Clearly, Thousand Wood Old Ancestor had Consciousness that he could not pose a threat to Su Bai underground, so he decisively decided to evacuate from the underground.

Surrounded by such a large number of Thousand Wood Clone, Su Bai was definitely not in a good position.

Fortunately, with Su Bai's Earth Escape Technique allows one to escape from the earth), these Thousand Wood Clone were unable to catch up with Su Bai Su Bai underground and could only become his punching bags.

"You think you can just leave like that? Leave something behind!"

Su Bai naturally wouldn't let such a golden opportunity slip by easily. Without hesitation, he activated his Earth Escape Technique with all his might, his figure rushing upwards like lightning.

At the same time, he swung his fists, raining blows at the Thousand Wood Clone who were trying to escape from underground.

Once Su Bai's fist is covered with a Spiritual Power Point, it can sustain multiple strikes, and its power remains undiminished until the Spiritual Power Point is exhausted.

This attack method is clearly more persistent and effective than simply bombarding the enemy with Spiritual Power Point.

Su Bai moved through the underground like a fish in water, relentlessly attacking Thousand Wood Clone with his fists.

Under the influence of the [Child of Earth Yin] Talent, the Spiritual Power within his body not only did not become depleted due to the frequent attacks, but gradually became abundant, and soon his Spiritual Power was completely restored.

Just as Su Bai was killing nearly a hundred of Thousand Wood Clone underground, Thousand Wood Old Ancestor's thousands of Clone finally emerged from the ground as if fleeing for their lives.

All that could be seen was the Thousand Wood Old Ancestor's five fingers spread wide.

As his hand gestures changed, thousands of Clone simultaneously rose into the air, then surged towards the Defense Formation of the Immortal Palace Outpost like a raging tide.

"Everyone, take off!"

"These two fiends are both skilled in Earth Escape Technique that allows one to escape from the earth). Staying underground is pointless; we're just playing along. Don't forget what our purpose is!"

The voice of Thousand Wood Old Ancestor echoed in the air, "Attack the Defense Formation from above! Remember, no matter what, keep your bodies high in the air!"

The Thousand Wood Old Ancestor clearly grasped the key point, and his strategic deployment was aimed at Su Bai.

Upon receiving the order, the Nascent Soul South Sea Nascent Soul and his Thousand Wood Clone swiftly took to the air, launching a massive attack on the Immortal Palace Outpost's Defense Formation like a swarm of Clone.

"Old Devil, you no longer need to chase after that brat," the voice of Thousand Wood Old Ancestor rang out again. "Come and help me open this Magic Array!"

Thousand Wood Old Ancestor pondered to himself that his main objective in coming to Crimson Flame Island was to reclaim the island.

Furthermore, he keenly sensed that both Tianshu and Yellow Springs seemed to prefer hiding underground.

Although it's not certain that this was the guarantee for Su Bai to recover his Spiritual Power, Thousand Wood Old Ancestor was able to guess that the two were hiding on the ground for reasons other than Earth Escape Technique novels).

Which ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator doesn't prefer to Combat in the open sky? Combat on the ground is something even Golden Core Cultivator consider beneath them.

This discovery caused Thousand Wood Old Ancestor to instantly change his original tactics.

He chuckled inwardly, "You like hiding underground? Hmph, I won't waste my time fighting you on the surface!"

Upon hearing this, the Yin Yang Old Demon Artifact Island Nascent Soul chasing Heavenly Gang, and the three of them also took to the air, arriving above the Defense Formation.

Thousand Wood Old Ancestor pondered in his heart that the Fighting Dao had now reached a crucial stage, but the Immortal Palace Xuanzhe had yet to appear.

He guessed that either this Immortal Palace Xuanzhe truly possessed extraordinary composure and was able to remain calm, or, more likely, he wasn't even here at all.

With this in mind, Thousand Wood Old Ancestor's resolve became even stronger.

Since that's the case, he decided to disregard the presence of the Immortal Palace Xuanzhe and instead unleash his full power to break the Magic Array before him.

With a soft "plop, "Su Bai poked half his head out of the ground like a groundhog.

His gaze was fixed on Thousand Wood Old Ancestor, and he muttered under his breath, "This old Daoist is a little too quick-witted!"

At this moment, the Thousand Wood Old Ancestor, who had already risen high into the sky, also noticed Su Bai's presence.

Thousand Wood Old Ancestor clearly had no intention of attacking; he merely locked his Divine Sense onto Su Bai, guarding against Su Bai getting close, and focused on breaking the Defense Formation.

Rumble!!

Thousands of Clone and the Divine Ability of several Nascent Soul South Sea Nascent Soul slammed into the Defense Formation like a torrential downpour.

A series of loud crackling sounds were heard, and the light on the Defense Formation flickered incessantly, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, clearly indicating that the Spiritual Qi consumption of the Defense Formation had reached an exaggerated peak.

Upon seeing this, Su Bai quickly sensed the status of the Defense Formation.

With the addition of thousands of Thousand Wood Clone Divine Ability Spells, the output from the South Sea has greatly increased. The Magic Array will probably be broken soon. Moreover, as a result, the Spiritual Power consumed by the South Sea Nascent Soul will be much less than he expected.

Just as he was pondering a solution, Heavenly Gang used Earth Escape Technique that allows one to escape through the earth) to come to his side.

Following Su Bai's example, Heavenly Gang also poked half his head out of the ground, then looked up at the sky. Looking at the densely packed Clone and Human Race Nascent Soul, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

This was Heavenly Gang's first formal Magic Duel, but facing so many Human Race Nascent Soul in his first Magic Duel instantly shattered his sense of superiority as Purple Zombie who could crush those of the same realm.

"I really want to unleash the Grand Five Elements Sword Array and instantly kill that Myriad Wood Old Ancestor," Su Bai thought to himself.

Unfortunately, he is currently in the identity of the Immortal Palace Tianshu, and cannot directly reveal his Sword Dao Divine Ability.

Myriad Wood Old Ancestor is indeed a formidable opponent; he's quick-witted.

His Divine Ability abilities are numerous and dazzling, and their power is immense. Coupled with his status Nascent Soul Middle Stage, dealing with him is not easy.

His countless clones, especially his Thousand Wood Clone, are a huge problem.

He was extremely restrained in his Fighting Style under the Tianshu Identity.

Even if you keep throwing punches, you could never finish!

However troublesome it may be, we still have to find a solution, right?

The only option left is to use Spirit Energy Cannon to hold them off...

Su Bai Divine Sense to search and quickly located the area where Thousand Wood Clone were most concentrated.

Without hesitation, he simultaneously transmitted his command to Nine Nodes, "Aim at the locations I've indicated and fire the Spirit Energy Cannon!"

The Immortal Palace Golden Cores immediately activated their node-based Spirit Energy Cannon.

As he gave the order, the Nine Spirit Energy Cannons simultaneously unleashed a deafening roar.

The power of these Nine Spirit Energy Cannons firing simultaneously was indeed exaggeratedly astonishing. Wherever they passed, it was like a raging storm, and the surging Spirit Energy Cannon instantly annihilated hundreds of Thousand Wood Clone without a trace.

"Cough cough..." In the distance, the Thousand Wood Old Ancestor suddenly let out a violent cough. His face turned extremely pale, obviously because he himself was also greatly affected by the annihilation of so many Thousand Wood Clone.

The simultaneous firing of nine cannons stunned the Nascent Soul in the South Sea. Their eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Hmm? So many Spirit Energy Cannon! A full nine! Has this Immortal Palace brought all its resources here?" One of the Artifact Island Nascent Soul dodged the Spirit Energy Cannon and said with a wry smile.

The Nine Spirit Energy Cannons are no ordinary Spirit Artifact; they are extremely expensive to manufacture and require corresponding Magic Array and Artifact Refining Skill.

Such a number of Spirit Energy Cannon is probably more than the entire South Sea could muster!

"Replenish psionic energy and continue firing the Spirit Energy Cannon!"

Su Bai's heart bled at this command; once the Spirit Energy Cannon was activated, it consumed all his cultivation resources!

Each time the artillery fire is used up, a significant amount of the captured supplies is consumed.

Boom boom boom~

The Nine Spirit Energy Cannons fired again.

Hundreds more of the Thousand Wood Clone were destroyed.

This time, the Divine Ability Mark within Thousand Wood Old Ancestor's body trembled violently, bang bang bang!!

The remaining thousand or so Thousand Wood Clone simultaneously vanished into thin air.

This extremely powerful Quasi Tier 4 Clone Divine Ability was forcibly destroyed after Su Bai fired a series of Spirit Energy Cannon at it!

With this troublesome Divine Ability removed, Su Bai's face lit up with joy. He and Heavenly Gang immediately leaped out from underground and launched an attack on Thousand Wood Old Ancestor.

After several rounds of exchanges, Su Bai had already discerned that this fiend was shrewd and calculating, and that the South Sea Nascent Souls seemed to implicitly regard him as their leader.

Before the Old Ancestor Yun appears, killing this fiend will surely demoralize the South Sea Nascent Souls.

However, these creatures now only stay high in the sky.

When fighting in the air, one cannot absorb the Earth Yin Energy. One must carefully plan the distribution of Spiritual Power. When Spiritual Power is insufficient, one must quickly hide in the earth.

"Slash!" Myriad Blades Sect Nascent Soul condensed into a Blade Aura hundreds of feet long, slashing down towards Su Bai and Heavenly Gang.

Su Bai beckoned Heavenly Gang to hide behind him, and with a wave of his hand, he unleashed a burst of Spiritual Power Point to shield himself.

Bang!

A Spiritual Power Point collapsed, and the Blade Aura was successfully blocked.

"What kind of Divine Ability is this?" The Blade Aura that Myriad Blades Sect Nascent Soul was so proud of was always silently blocked by Su Bai, which made his Dao Heart waver a little.

Su Bailing activated his pressure field, locked onto Ancestor Qianmu, and his figure roared away.

Heavenly Gang then approached Su Bai from behind and threw a punch at Myriad Blades Sect Nascent Soul.

At this moment, the Thousand Wood Old Ancestor was exhausted of Spiritual Power and dared not fight Su Bai head-on. He then fled to the clouds.

The other South Sea Nascent Soul saw through Su Bai's intentions and took action to intercept him.

Two Artifact Island Nascent Souls threw out Formation Plate, intending to trap Su Bai.

However, Su Bai casually shattered the Formation Plate with two punches.

The Cold Jade Sect Nascent Soul used his Divine Ability to freeze the air within a hundred feet around Su Bai, trapping Su Bai inside.

It formed Hundred Zhang Giant Ice.

The next moment.

Click.

The Hundred Zhang Giant Ice shattered, and Su Bai was about to continue his pursuit.

Boom!

A terrifying Moonlight Pillar struck down from the sky.

Su Bai flicked his wrist and fired several Spiritual Power Point.

Boom boom boom!!

Three Laws Spiritual Power Point collapsed, but this Divine Ability was also silently blocked.

Half of his Spiritual Power remained! Su Bai ignored the Yin Yang Old Demon and continued his pursuit.

"Stop running, old Daoist!" With his Spiritual Pressure locked onto his target, Su Bai moved with lightning speed, quickly closing the distance with the figure of the Thousand Wood Old Ancestor.

At this moment, Pill Saint Qiu Yi held a defensive treasure of the Houtian Spirit Treasure level and stood in front of Su Bai.

Su Bai threw a punch, holding back some of his strength.

However, it still sent Pill Saint Qiu Yi flying hundreds of feet away. The latter's Qi and Blood and qi surged, his Houtian Spirit Treasure dimmed, and his face turned pale.

This was the first time Qiu Yi had experienced the terrifying power of the Immortal Palace Tianshu Fist, and he immediately understood why the other Nascent Soul were so afraid of Su Bai getting close.

"You stinking alchemist, don't get involved!"

If Su Bai hadn't been acquainted with Qiu Yi, he would have killed Qiu Yi with a single punch long ago.

With no more obstacles in his way, Su Bai lunged at Thousand Wood Old Ancestor.

A moment later, Su Bai had already approached within a hundred feet of the Thousand Wood Old Ancestor. At this moment, the two of them, one chasing and the other fleeing, had already reached the depths of the clouds.

"Spiritual Pressure Domain Field, Condense!"

Su Bai spread his five fingers wide, and the Spiritual Pressure Domain Field around him began to contract, forming a powerful suction force. Thousand Wood Old Ancestor felt an invisible force approaching, and his speed was greatly slowed down.

Su Bai raised his hand and charged towards it, his fist about to smash into the body of the Thousand Wood Old Ancestor.

Knowing there was no way to escape, Qianmu immediately activated the last Divine Ability Mark within his body.

Its body flashed with green light, instantly transforming into a majestic Green Dragon Head Armor!

Tier 4 Divine Ability – [Art of Wood Dragon Armor]!
