The Sun family was filled with anticipation, seeing the impending annihilation of the extraordinary beings.

It was still early, and they believed that the extraordinary individuals had not yet all arrived, because they knew from Wang Xuan and Chen Yongjie's secret conversation that the Zhilán Dharma Assembly be held in the evening.

"Skilled hunters must know how to be patient, calm, and prudent. We have plenty of time; we'll leave the whole night to them. The extraordinary ones are about to hear the call of hell!"

They have enough patience to wait quietly, with a sense of satisfaction that they are about to reap the rewards.

Before long, they made a new discovery: an old man appeared. He looked very old, but he climbed the mountain as nimbly as a monkey, going up the cliff without taking any mountain path.

Sun Rongsheng was astonished. Sure enough, there was an extraordinary person who had not yet surfaced. He had never seen this person before. The waters of Shenzhou were quite deep, which moved him.

"Although his hair is gray, you can still see some light purple in it. Is he an indigenous person?" The Sun family's hearts skipped a beat.

There has long been a legend that the ancestors of the indigenous people were true immortals, and that they have a terrible genetic disease called the five signs of decay.

Now it seems that those rumors are probably true. There are even experts among them who still have extraordinary power in this day and age!

"Fortunately, we found them all this time. They actually went and courted death by gathering together like this!"

Right now, the Sun family is satisfied, Christine and Hansolo are satisfied, and Wang Xuan is also very satisfied. Under the same New Moon, the three parties in different locations all showed smiles, and everyone was happy!

The old man arrived at the mountaintop with a fierce look in his eyes, which were slightly purplish. His body exuded a putrid smell, and something seemed off about him.

He strode into the white mist atop the mountain, his figure gradually becoming blurred.

Christine and Hansolo arrived at the lakeside, where the Super Material was dense, and amidst the white mist, crumbling walls and dilapidated buildings appeared on the shores of the Source Lake.

A faint light rippled, a thin veil of light covering the ruins. They tried to walk over and touch them, but were blocked.

When the invitation was used to touch it, the light curtain parted, and the two walked in.

Here, large trees take root, their branches and leaves flourishing, obscuring the ruins. Coupled with the pervasive white mist, even Satellite Heavenly Eye cannot capture the true state of the mountaintop on ordinary days.

The two walked through the rubble, past broken walls, and into the ruins. In a collapsed temple, there was a headless Divine Statue, whose head and arms had been broken off over the years.

"Transcendent Immortals, Bodhisattvas, mountain gods, earth gods, who are they worshipping?" Christine murmured, having some understanding of the Eastern system.

There were several futons on the ground, some distance apart from each other. Did the two of them know the customs of the East and ask people to sit here and wait?

They made sure there were no traps, then sat down quietly and waited for the others to appear.

The two knew they had arrived too early; the sun had only just begun to set.

However, they felt the trip was worthwhile. This extraordinary light screen alone was very mysterious, and they might not have been able to break in without the treasures bestowed by the gods.

Suddenly, they turned around and saw an old man appear silently, very abruptly, as if he had appeared out of nowhere. The old man glanced at them and sat down on the futon.

The two men exchanged glances. The old man's hair was sparse, some of it purple, and the ends of some of it already snow-white.

What Christine and Hansolo found unbearable was the old man's stench, which smelled like he was rotting and was particularly unpleasant.

In particular, it was clearly visible that the old man's head was oozing pus, his armpits were wet, his clothes were soaked, and he had a foul odor.

This is a typical Five Decays of Heaven and Man Disease, manifesting in its late stage. The five internal organs should be rotting and the person should not be able to survive, but this old man is still barely holding on.

"Hello..." Christine greeted him, hoping to have a brief conversation, but found that the old man had a cold look in his eyes, glanced at her, and then ignored her.

The atmosphere was awkward and somber, and she stopped speaking, only secretly holding the crystal mirror to protect herself.

It was completely dark outside. Stars appeared, New Moon hung high, green pines and cypresses covered the mountains, clear springs gurgled, and white mist rose from the lakes, creating an ethereal atmosphere under the moonlight.

Just then, another person arrived, dressed in rusty armor, like an ancient general. He seemed to have just crawled out of the ground. His face was pale, without a trace of blood, and his body was slightly stiff. He carried an invitation and walked into the ruins.

Christine was astonished; this person looked somewhat like a vampire from Western legends, sharing similar traits in temperament and demeanor.

Could this be an Eastern zombie? She wondered to herself.

At the same time, she noticed that the armored man and the old man who smelled of decay had something in common: they had flame patterns on their foreheads, exactly the same.

Hansolo gripped his spear tightly in his right hand, on high alert, his body enveloped in golden light, Super Material emanating from him, and explosive power coursing through his body.

Legend has it that the Transcendent Immortals and gods were either ethereal and otherworldly or sacred and peaceful, but the two people who appeared one after the other were both too strange.

This made Christine and Hansolo feel that something was wrong. Could this be the subordinate of some evil god from the East?

As the moon rose high in the sky, two more people appeared in Yuanchi Mountain. They were dressed like ordinary people, but after entering the ruins, they each took off their coats.

The former was a Daoist nun, and the latter was an Old Monk. They were both quite old, but still relatively normal, and nodded kindly to the group.

They also had flame patterns between their eyebrows, which looked like a special mark.

Christine and Hansolo realized that this was an organization, unlike a typical supernatural gathering.

It seemed that everyone had arrived, and no new people appeared for a long time.

The Sun family members frowned. It was astonishing that several extraordinary individuals had climbed the mountain. Perhaps there were even scenes they hadn't captured.

In fact, Christine and Hansolo did not detect it when they were climbing the mountain because they had special devices on them that shielded them from detectors.

"That's about enough. If they suddenly scatter after their gathering, it will be difficult to wipe them out in one fell swoop," someone from the Sun family said.

"Wait a little longer, I don't think it's too late before midnight," Sun Rongsheng said.

The atmosphere in the dilapidated ruins was somber. No one spoke, and Christine and Hansolo were getting impatient. Were they going to sit there until midnight, or even until dawn?

Brush!

Suddenly, a woman wearing red metal armor appeared; she flew in, startling both of them.

"A ghost!" The two realized that the woman was in spirit form, her spiritual body clad in armor.

The woman bowed before the headless Divine Statue and lit An Incense Stick's Time, which emitted a faint light, with runes dancing and flashing.

The old man, the zombie general, the Daoist nun, and the Old Monk, all exuding a rotten smell, stood up and bowed, as if welcoming someone's arrival.

Soon, a hazy scene appeared behind the headless Divine Statue, like a collapsed space or a blurred world. Dao Body emerged from it and gradually merged with the Divine Statue.

A male figure emerged from the headless Divine Statue, not very clearly, like a god who had been resurrected, looking down at everyone.

He looked at Christine and Hansolo and said, "New blood has been added, but unfortunately, there are still too few people. The extraordinary has faded, and the former glory is hard to recreate."

"It was originally someone else, not the two of them," the woman in red armor said, her face covered by a dark red helmet.

"Are you one of the great beings among the Transcendent Immortals of the East?" Christine sensed the other party's power and even had difficulty breathing.

With reverence, she said, "We come from the Western world, and our gods wish to communicate with the great Eastern Immortal."

The man in the headless Divine Statue had runes woven in his eyes as he looked at Christine and Hansolo, as if he could see through everything and understand their true nature.

"The Western gods are so preoccupied with their own problems that their divine fire is about to go out. What right do they have to cooperate with the Transcendent Immortals?" the man in the headless Divine Statue said coldly, not caring at all.

"You..." Hansolo was furious. He had a devout faith and hated such blasphemers the most. Even if the other party was very strong, he was willing to stand up and defend the dignity of God.

"I am merely a subordinate of a peerless immortal, but killing the god behind you should be no problem," the man in the headless Divine Statue said.

At this moment, the Daoist nun, the zombie, and the others lowered their heads, extremely respectful, as if listening to celestial music, daring not to show any disrespect.

"You insult a god like this, and you will disturb him. God's gaze will fall upon this place..." Han Solo, devoted to his faith, gripped his spear, his body trembling with rage.

The man in the headless Divine Statue disdained such a threat and didn't bother to respond. He spoke to the woman in red armor, saying, "Since these two are here, mark them as well. Make an exception and let the barbarians become my followers. After all, we don't have enough manpower."

The Woman in Red prepared to make her move, intending to place a flame mark between the two men's eyebrows.

"Great Eastern Immortal, you cannot do this. The gods behind me desire cooperation, not a divine war," Christine said gently, trying to change his mind.

"You've chosen the wrong partner. The peerless immortal behind me once killed several gods like those behind you with a single sword strike. He's rather weak."

The man in the headless Divine Statue shook his head, quite disdainful, looking down on the deity behind the two.

Then, he spoke to the woman in dark red metal armor, "When you have time, bring the extraordinary person you chose earlier here and mark him."

"Yes!" The woman nodded and walked towards Christine and Hansolo.

Far away, Wang Xuan had long since left the area where Source Pool Mountain was located, but he did not return to the city. He was waiting for the matter to come to an end and for everything to become a settled situation before he reappeared.

At that moment, he sensed a kind of malice coming from the direction of Source Pool Mountain, and he couldn't help but frown.

Even when he was still a mortal, he had already opened his Inner Scenery Realm, which gave him some qualities that far surpassed those of other extraordinary beings, such as unimaginably keen spiritual senses.

"He's not a good person!" he whispered.

He was also preparing, deciding whether to go to Source Pool Mountain to finish them off, or wait until something unexpected happened to the Sun family before attacking their main base. Everything would have to wait until things settled down.

No rush, he needs to stay calm!

Boom!

The spear in Hansolo's hand gleamed, emitting a dazzling light. He had activated the ancient spear, and dazzling runes flashed. Behind him, it was as if a god had opened his eyes.

He and Christine used the treasures bestowed by the gods in an attempt to draw upon divine power to fight against the blasphemers.

"This place cannot be destroyed. In the future, the peerless immortal I follow will use this place as a passage to enter the mortal world. How dare he act so recklessly here with a weapon bestowed by a wild god?!"

The man in the headless Divine Statue spoke in a majestic voice, and then he extended a blurry hand, lifting a hazy and thin curtain to press forward.

"That's about enough. Let the warships in outer space open fire!" Sun Rongsheng said coldly. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the New Moon in the night sky, and revealed a cruel smile.

He believed that this would be a wonderful night, the beginning of the extraordinary's nightmare, and that those variables who wanted to disrupt the order would be strangled and become a thing of the past.

Thump!

A blinding beam of light descended from the sky and struck Source Pool Mountain. The beam was incredibly thick and carried an aura of destruction, threatening to extinguish all life!

More than one Energy Beam appeared, like beams of light reaching the heavens, one after another, covering the area where Source Pool Mountain was located, like a divine punishment!

"Ancient humans could hunt gods and demons using mechs and motherships. In this new era, new humans will also step into this field, and the latest type of warships will surely be born!" someone from the Sun family said.

"Who? No one is allowed to shatter this node and destroy this passage!" The creatures within the Source Pool Mountain ruins sensed this in advance and roared angrily, causing the entire headless Divine Statue to crack and threatening to explode.

"How dare you people of this world act like this? The peerless immortals will retaliate!" His blurry figure glowed, runes intertwined, filled with rage!

Far from Source Pool Mountain, Wang Xuan sat on a blue stone, holding a cup of wine, gazing at the terrifying beams of light that stretched from the sky to the earth in the distance.

He heard the roar from Source Pool Mountain, and calmly raised his cup, saying, "A toast to the Sun family, Transcendent Immortals!"
