In that instant, a piercing wail rose from the earth.
Amid Orchard Gym's uniquely soaring rhythm, iron from the collapsing heavens, wrapped in lightning, crashed down from the sky one after another, causing filthy crimson eruptions to burst forth like volcanoes.
Bound in these shackles and fetters of steel, the Demon Mountain tried to break free from the earth, yet it could not pull out roots that had long since sunk deep into Hell. It could only writhe helplessly and suffer brutal ravaging.
It howled incessantly, begging for aid.
Regrettably, no one answered.
Nor could they.
The vicious lights screaming toward them, the colossal creatures racing forth from Hell, and even the eerie black shadows descending from the depths all seemed to slam headfirst into an iron wall rising from the ground.
A colossal dragon turtle trampled across the battlefield amid entwining grass and trees. At the very forefront of the battlefield, the Dongxia Legion's rampart rose from the ground once more.
The bloodstained Qiongqi stared fixedly at her prey. Behind her, amid Yan Qingge's unceasing screams, countless Ascender clones leaped one after another into an invisible meat grinder, instantly losing their heads or struggling miserably. After crossing over their own corpses, they became new corpses themselves.
Yet even more Ascenders continuously split off from him beneath the radiance of the Gouchen Crown.
After a long period of setbacks and waiting, the man hailed as the world's weakest fifth-rank and the Crowned One finally welcomed an unprecedented moment in the spotlight, even if it came amid his own screams and shouts...
And there were more.
On the very front line, dazzling Brilliant Light shone amid the torrent of Source Matter—the blood-soaked Lord of Skins and Xiu Tuoluo, Aurora, Rome's Lady of Dawn, the frenzied firestarter Agni...
Like an invisible barrier.
