Rumble! Rumble!
The explosion formed a gigantic mushroom cloud, and even I felt the heat wave blast against my face. Explosions continued erupting all around, accompanied by endless screams. Li Poxiao and I were blown away on the spot, while Dongfang Fu was caught somewhat off guard as well, but he still used the Slaughter Stele to block the shock waves around us.
Li Poxiao and I each brought out treasures to protect ourselves. This sudden, massive explosion had blasted us both into a sorry state. After we were sent flying into the sky, my Dao body kept dissolving and reforming. By the time it finally stopped, only about half of my energy remained. One could imagine what condition the others were in!
Li Poxiao's Dawn Golden Body had long since vanished. His face was now black as a lump of charcoal. Clearly, the explosion had also contained potent corruption, infecting him as well. Once his energy fell below a certain point, the infection invaded even faster. Li Poxiao was already in such a state—Yuan Ci probably couldn't withstand it either, let alone Fu Tianxiao and Dongfang Jin below!
My expression changed drastically, and I immediately shouted, "Yuan Ci! Miss Dongfang! Alliance Master Fu Tian!"
As expected, in that chaotic scene of billowing smoke and nonstop explosions, no one could hear me at all. Coming to my senses, I immediately sent a voice transmission to Dongfang Jin first!
While my heart hung suspended, Dongfang Jin replied to me at once. "I'm fine. I'm inside the Golden Lotus, so the explosion didn't reach me. But the Golden Lotus was damaged by it. Oh, right—Alliance Master Fu Tian is here with me too."
"Good. What about the Buddha Venerable?" I hurriedly asked.
"He's over by the divine pagoda beneath the Golden Lotus.
