Immortal Cloud Sect Master, Tao Yuansi

As soon as the Purple Star Mountain Master's words fell, a tremendous rumble suddenly rolled across the vast heavens.

A vortex of cloud and mist abruptly appeared in the azure sky. As it descended without pause, the entire firmament began to tremble violently.

Then, within the vortex, an enormous azure hand emerged. Though it had only four fingers, as it slowly pressed downward, boundless pressure from heaven and earth came crashing down like a collapsing celestial mountain.

An incomparably powerful aura instantly passed through the Nine Luminaries Spirit Array and spread throughout Lin Yan City. Beneath the oppression of that immense power, countless citizens fell to their knees and wailed in agony. Even many Immortal Cloud Sect disciples had the energy within their bodies drained dry, blood surging from their chests and spraying out.

The sudden upheaval also drew the attention of the Immortal Cloud Sect's higher-ups within the city. Once they sensed that overwhelming pressure, their faces filled with horror.

Tao Yuan stared at the enormous azure hand, his heart jolting in alarm. His low voice, carrying a trace of disbelief, echoed through the sky. "Purple Star Mountain's guardian deity—the East Mountain God!"

"Heh heh, Tao Yuan, your Immortal Cloud Mountain's Nine Luminaries Spirit Array is renowned far and wide. Without Senior East Mountain's help, we truly would not have been fully confident of breaking this turtle shell."

"Unfortunately, even if you kneel and surrender now, it is already too late!" Upon hearing Tao Yuan's words, the Purple Star Mountain Master sneered.

After the East Mountain God made its move, powerful auras spread from the Purple Star Mountain Master and the Luoyun Pavilion Master. Torrential pressure poured down from the sky like a vast ocean.

"How is this possible?! Three years ago, they were only Ninth Grade Martial Venerables.
