A cataclysmic collision between heaven and earth!

Flames, intense light, a fleeting glimpse.

And within a single breath, it dissipated into billions of sparks, scattering in all directions.

At an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, at the core of the collision between the two forces, the clouds stretching for hundreds of miles were directly torn to shreds by the shock wave generated by the impact, and the atmosphere above the Heavenly Fire Sect seemed to have been blasted with a hole.

Furthermore, due to the ejection of sparks, the end of the torn cloud layer seemed to be inlaid with a layer of flames, which spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed.

That feeling...

It's as if the entire sky has transformed into a transparent plastic film, and suddenly a drop of flame is dripped onto it. The flame instantly ignites the plastic film, creating a circular hole, and then rapidly spreads the flame in all directions.

As the flames spread, a force seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth.

Taking advantage of the moment when the fiery phoenix and the meteor in the sky collapsed at the same time, this power that pierced through heaven and earth instantly penetrated tens of thousands of meters of void and slammed into the cave heaven where the Purple Flame Dao Lord had soared into the sky with endless flames.

"Boom!"

The cave, stretching for hundreds of miles, trembled violently, and the violent power was redirected to the ground around the cave, causing mountains to collapse and the earth to tear apart.

The hurricane formed by the landslide swept up sand and dust, lashing at all the palaces and pavilions built on these mountains, instantly turning countless buildings into dust.

This pure destructive power deeply stimulated the nerves of everyone in the Heavenly Fire Sect.

Only then did some sharp-eyed people notice that the Purple Flame Dao Lord, who had activated the power of the Heavenly Dao and surged into the void with the force of raging flames, was actually falling to the ground at an extremely fast speed.

The power that pierced through heaven and earth earlier did not strike the cave behind him at all, but rather his immortal body, which appeared to be mostly broken.

The cave that was shaking incessantly, causing landslides and earthquakes, was only affected!?

"How is that possible!?"

"That's the supreme elder of my Heavenly Fire Sect!? How could the supreme elder be..."

The True Immortals of the Heavenly Fire Sect stared in disbelief.

Is this the end of the world?

As Gu Weiwei gazed at the sky filled with flames and intense light, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

This is because the intense light just now stimulated the pupils, causing them to be burned.

Compared to Gu Weiwei, who was trembling with shock at the scene, Gu Qingqing reacted immediately and roared, "Quick! Quick! Get out of here!"

The next moment, she suddenly grabbed Gu Weiwei, who was related to her by blood, and they ran wildly in the opposite direction from the Heavenly Fire Sect, like a streak of light.

The remaining family members, after being reminded by her, were also suddenly awakened, turned their horses around, and galloped away.

And behind them...

Violent tremors and roars continued to emanate.

The tremors of the cave tore apart the mountains and the earth, creating a hurricane that whipped up dust.

Some of the boulders and debris that were ejected flew over dozens of miles, crashing to the ground like meteorites.

Every piece of stone and layer of soil is like a cannonball thrown by a giant catapult; once it hits the ground, it will inevitably flatten the area within tens or hundreds of meters.

Towering ancient trees planted for hundreds of years, exquisitely built palaces and pavilions, and quiet courtyards filled with flowers and bonsai were all smashed into fragments and ruins by the boulders that were thrown by the aftershocks of the impact.

Even among the Gu family members who fled in panic at the first moment while still on the outskirts of the Heavenly Fire Sect, several unlucky souls were caught up by some scattered rubble and died on the spot.

Even the aftershocks of a battle at the Dao Lord level would be a catastrophe for cultivators who are only at the Void Returning, Primordial Spirit, or even Core Formation levels.

A cataclysmic natural disaster.

When faced with such a natural disaster, they had no choice but to pray to God of Fortune.

"Jiang Yufeng!"

An angry roar came from inside the Heavenly Fire Sect.

As Gu Qingqing was rushing away from the Heavenly Fire Sect, she heard the scattered divine thought fluctuations and turned around to look at the sky with great joy, "It is another Heavenly Immortal from the Heavenly Fire Sect, the Supreme Jade Ruyi!"

A golden light, filled with a murderous aura, shot straight into the sky like a peerless divine weapon.

Even though Gu Qingqing was hundreds of miles away from the battlefield, she could still clearly feel how dazzling the golden light was and how amazing the energy it contained was because the golden light was so dazzling and so high it soared into the sky.

If there were still clouds in the sky, this sword strike could probably slice through the entire sea of clouds.

However...

Just then, from the flames that had not yet completely dissipated in the sky above, a giant hand seemed to emerge.

A hand that stretches over a hundred meters in length and width.

His palms seemed to contain a thunderbolt, and when they pierced the air, they burst forth with dazzling flames.

The giant hand slapped down on the golden sword light that shot straight into the sky, just like swatting a fly, causing the golden sword light and the figure within it to fall to the ground.

Almost as fast as she rushed up, she fell back down at the same speed.

That's not all!

As the flames in the sky gradually dissipated, a terrifying energy permeated the smoke and dust. Although there was still smoke to block it, the radiance released when that energy condensed was as bright as the sun, filled with a terrifying glow.

"This..."

Gu Qingqing couldn't sense anything, yet she seemed to sense something at the same time, her captivating eyes filled with unspeakable fear.

The smoke dissipated the next moment.

Above the sky rails, which from afar appeared to have been blasted with a huge hole, a blazing divine weapon seemed to tear through the smoke and pierce down.

That is...

A pillar of flame.

A pillar of flame containing suffocating, despairing energy fluctuations.

This pillar of flame is over 300 meters in diameter, and contains temperatures of tens or hundreds of thousands of degrees.

It shot down from the celestial orbit, crashing down on the Supreme Elder Yu Ruyi, who was still falling but had not yet hit the ground or the cave heaven.

Suddenly, Gu Qingqing finally understood where her unspeakable fear came from.

"No!"

Amidst her groaning cries, the falling Supreme Elder Yu Ruyi was completely engulfed by the pillar of flame containing terrifying heat.

The immortal body, over four hundred meters tall, instantly melted and collapsed, and ultimately...

Vanished into thin air.

"Supreme Elder!"

At this moment, countless disciples of the Heavenly Fire Sect cried out in pain, just like Gu Qingqing.

Countless people gazed with hatred at the "meteor" that had finally revealed its true form in the sky.

That wasn't a meteorite at all!

It was clearly a terrifying figure, over a thousand meters tall, radiating brilliant light, like a majestic sacred mountain.

"Is this... a demon god...?"

Gu Weiwei, who was being led by Gu Qingqing, had regained her sight at some point.

She looked at the figure in the sky with difficulty and pain, and seemed to be somewhat lost and disoriented.

This is because the scenes I witnessed today had such a profound impact on my mind that a part of my consciousness shut itself off, resulting in a state of stagnation.

To put it simply, they were scared out of their wits.

"Demon God..."

Gu Qingqing bit her lip tightly.

Her Bright Red lower lip seemed to have been bitten until it bled.

She looked up at the towering figure in the sky, her eyes filled with hatred, but even more so with fear.

Fear stems from the suffocating, despairing power displayed by that terrifying being.

However, neither their fear nor their hatred could stop the descending pillar of fire from the sky.

After annihilating the immortal body of the Supreme Elder Yu Ruyi, the super-large energy beam condensed by that demonic figure was hardly weakened and continued to bombard the Heavenly Fire Sect with unstoppable momentum, eventually landing on the cave heaven belonging to the Purple Flame Dao Master of the Heavenly Fire Sect.

Suddenly...

It's like using a laser drill fired from a space-based weapon to chisel away at a glacier.

Countless sparks splattered from the spot where the beam of light struck, accompanied by rapidly spreading rings of flame that were clearly visible.

This phenomenon is caused by the extremely high temperature around the flame beam, which causes the air to spontaneously combust without a flame.

The few buildings around the original cave were only destroyed due to the collapse of mountains and the tearing of the earth, and were not destroyed. They melted rapidly under the high temperature of the terrifying fire halo.

The earth was transformed into magma!

The mountains and rivers have been transformed into crystal!

Everything in the Heavenly Fire Sect is being burned and destroyed at an extremely rapid pace.

In the very core area, the Purple Flame Dao Master, the True Immortal Sect Master, and the elders of the Heavenly Fire Sect seem to still be struggling.

But it's meaningless.

The towering demon god, over 1,300 meters tall, in the sky seemed to emerge from the sun, carrying light and destruction, and unleashing flames that burned everything.

He maintained that 300-meter mark...

The terrifying pillar of flame, which even expanded to a diameter of four hundred meters, heated the entire Heavenly Fire Sect from above.

The most central cave-heaven of the Heavenly Fire Sect, which was under the control of Daoist Ziyan, fared somewhat better. However, the other cave-heavens, as well as those important sect buildings, were all reduced to ashes and burned into flames under this terrifyingly high temperature.

Even places shrouded in formations are no exception.

As the temperature rose higher and higher, the earth was gradually melted into magma, and all the formations were burned and destroyed. Without the formations, the true immortals and immortals hiding within them also fled at top speed.

But that demonic figure could destroy the immortal bodies of those true immortals and immortals and reduce them to ashes simply by slightly shifting the terrifying energy beam or separating some tributaries.

Moreover, as time went on, even the caves built on volcanoes became unsafe.

Because...

As the terrifying pillar of flame continuously heated the area within hundreds of miles of the Heavenly Fire Sect, more and more of the land melted, and the melting became deeper and deeper.

When the area surrounding the cave became almost entirely filled with magma-like fluid, the mountains and rivers were no longer fixed in place, but instead became like ice blocks floating on the sea, and their positions began to shift.

With its location shifted, the grotto-heaven can no longer be rooted in the Spirit Vein and replenished from them as before.

At this moment, not only the inner and outer sect elders who were lucky enough to stay far away, but even some insightful True Disciple vaguely realized that the complete destruction of the Heavenly Fire Sect was only a matter of time.

"Jiang Yufeng!"

Gu Qingqing murmured the name.

From the unwilling cries of the Supreme Elders, she already knew that the terrifying being in the sky who was about to bring about the complete destruction of the Heavenly Fire Sect was named Jiang Yufeng.

He was not some demon god, but a cultivator.

A cultivator even more powerful than their Heavenly Fire Sect's Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle, Purple Flame Dao Master.

The Purple Flame Dao Lord is already a Dao Lord of the highest rank. That person named Jiang Yufeng can suppress him, and even suppress the entire Heavenly Fire Sect...

A top-tier Dao Lord!?

Immortal Lord!?

Still...

A true Xuanxian standing at the pinnacle of the Xuanxian realm!?

"As one wishes!"

Within the Heavenly Fire Sect's grotto-heaven, which bears the Heavenly Dao, the Purple Flame Dao Master's eyes were filled with pain.

The Heavenly Fire Sect gave birth to the "Lightless" Heavenly Dao.

The term "no light" refers to the elimination of light, the elimination of heat contained within flames and light.

This Heavenly Dao makes cultivators almost immune to all "heat" type damage.

Therefore, when Gu Jinlai broke through the void and appeared above the Heavenly Fire Sect, the Purple Flame Dao Master did not hesitate to activate the Heavenly Dao and use its power to confront Gu Jinlai head-on.

Result...

Just like water overcomes fire.

When the fire is large enough, it can also evaporate water into steam.

He thought that with the power of the Heavenly Dao of No Light, he could ignore the attacks from Gu Jinlai and deliver a fatal blow. However, the attacks from Gu Jinlai exceeded the limits that the Heavenly Dao of No Light could withstand. In the end, the Heavenly Dao of No Light dimmed, and he was knocked down and retreated back to the cave.

In fact, if it weren't for Yu Ruyi's intervention, during the period when the Heavenly Dao was dim and had not been reactivated, Gu Jinlai could have killed him with just one more attack.

In other words, the jade ruyi was equivalent to saving him from death.

This caused him not only pain but also filled him with self-blame.

"How could this be?! How could Jiang Yufeng of the Creation Sect be this powerful?!"

The Purple Flame Dao Master stared at the terrifying pillar of light that descended from the sky, its diameter exceeding four hundred meters. His eyes were filled with shock, resentment, and regret. "To be able to release such terrifying energy for so long... what's the difference between Jiang Yufeng, a Primordial Saint, and a Profound Immortal!? The people of the Myriad Star Sword Sect even lied to us, saying he was at most a Top-Tier Celestial Immortal!? This is a Top-Tier Celestial Immortal!?"

"When I sent a message to question the Myriad Stars Sword Sect just now, they had already replied... They also just learned that Jiang Yufeng possesses strength comparable to a Profound Immortal. As a result, the Suspended Sword Dao Master of the Myriad Stars Sword Sect, who was responsible for stopping him, had his Gengjin Heavenly Dao destroyed, suffering severe damage, and several True Immortals also perished..."

Yu Hanshan's face was flushed red under the blazing divine light of the blazing fire in the sky, but his eyes were dark and gray.

"But now, it's too late, everything is too late. We listened to the false words of the Myriad Stars Sword Sect and actively provoked a war with the Creation Gate. We even built our cave heaven right at the entrance of the Creation Gate. We have no moral high ground. With a Xuanxian-level warrior like Jiang Yufeng, the Creation Gate can easily use this as a pretext to completely destroy our Heavenly Fire Sect..."

"What he's doing now is trying to destroy our Heavenly Fire Sect."

The Purple Flame Dao Master's face was bitter, then he seemed to have thought of something, "Immediately request reinforcements from the Myriad Stars Sword Sect! Didn't the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Master say that he would deal with Jiang Yufeng? Now, Jiang Yufeng is right in front of us, where is he? Why don't you come to our aid at once!"

Yu Hanshan nodded.

He knew it was useless. Knowing that Jiang Yufeng had the combat power of a Xuanxian, why did the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Master still dare to leave the Myriad Stars Sword Sect?

Is he out of his mind?

It should be understood that only when a Celestial Lord has the power of a grotto-heaven can he entangle with a Mystic Immortal. Without the power of a grotto-heaven, it would be extremely easy for a Mystic Immortal to wear down a Celestial Lord.

At this moment, Yu Hanshan seemed to receive another message, his expression changing drastically. "The people of the Creation Sect have launched a counterattack! Led by Jiang Yujian, Ye Yan, and others, they have used a war machine we have never seen before to launch a counterattack, and are attacking our soon-to-be-completed cave heaven... They hope we will send reinforcements..."

He stopped there.

Reinforcements?

Yu Hanshan looked at the demon-like figure outside the cave.

They can barely protect themselves, where would they get reinforcements?!

"Seek help from the Mohists!"

At this moment, a resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Purple Flame Dao Master: "Only a Xuanxian can contend with a Xuanxian. We must ask the Mo family for help!"

"The Mohists? They..."

"They will never allow another Xuanxian-level force to emerge in the Northern Region, as that would only threaten their rule. Therefore, the Mo family will absolutely not stand idly by when we ask for help!"

As the Purple Flame Dao Master spoke, gazing at the sky completely enveloped by flames and intense heat, he said, "Now, it all depends on whether we can hold out until Immortal Mo Ziya arrives to help."

Yu Hanshan's spirits lifted, and he immediately agreed, "I will send a message for help right away."

"It is indeed not easy to break through a cave heaven. No wonder that once many forces have built a cave heaven, even top forces like the Heavenly Fire Sect and the Myriad Star Sword Sect turn a blind eye to their existence."

Above the Heavenly Fire Sect, the divine light of the Fiery Blaze has been released in an explosive state Gu Jinlai.

Even with the enduring advantage of the Great Sun Core's continuous life force, he felt a trace of fatigue at this moment.

The great principles of this world are not readily apparent.

The power of rules is controlled by countless Heavenly Dao, making it difficult for him to amplify his own Divine Ability even if he wanted to use the power of the Heavenly Dao.

In this situation, without the amplification of the Heavenly Dao, the offensive capabilities would become insufficient.

On the contrary, it's defense...

Because the grotto stones in the Xuanxian Realm are worthless.

A corner of the cave was blasted down, but a large number of cave stones were thrown in to repair it.

With such unique defensive facilities, breaking through a cave from the front would not be a matter of a day or two.

Gu Jinlai's a premonition that even if he continues to maintain this explosive form and launches a fierce attack until his core energy of the Great Sun is exhausted, he may not be able to break through the Heavenly Fire Sect's cave heaven.

The correct approach is to maintain the normal state, release the Divine Light of Departing Fire at a height of 990 meters to continuously deplete the spiritual energy accumulated in the Heavenly Fire Sect's cave heaven, and after spending three to five days exhausting the Heavenly Fire Sect's spiritual energy, spiritual crystals, and other resources, we can naturally break through their cave heaven.

Only...

Three to five days! That's too long!

There is also the Mohist school in the northern region.

Above the Mohist school is the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect.

Delay may lead to unforeseen changes!

Therefore, he must settle the battle between the Creation Sect and the Heavenly Fire Sect before other forces react and send reinforcements.

This is also why he directly manifested his burst form.

"Even with the Great Sun's core's inexhaustible life force, I can't hold on for much longer, but..."

Gu Jinlai glanced into the distance and said, "Zhang Yukun and the others will be here soon too."

The wait, both Gu Jinlai, has not been long.

Zhang Yukun, Yan Xingchen, and others, piloting over a hundred Cheng Ying mechs, have arrived outside the Tianhuo Sect.

Although there are not many mechs, each one is incredibly large, and the pressure they create when they fly across the sky is so immense that it blots out the sun.

However, when they saw the enormous figure standing tens of thousands of meters in the sky, radiating a divine light of fire with a diameter of more than four hundred meters, constantly burning the Heavenly Fire Sect's cave heaven, Zhang Yukun, Yan Xingchen, and the newly trained Shenwu Peak disciples were all deeply shocked.

In particular, the intense heat emanating from the divine light of the fire melted the land surrounding the several grottoes into magma. The magma, stretching for hundreds of miles, emitted an astonishing heat wave, and the scene of it flowing around the grottoes was a shock to everyone's soul.

After the initial shock came an unprecedented sense of pride and belonging.

"Nothing surpasses the mythical power to burn the heavens and boil the seas! What immense power this is!"

"This is our Supreme Elder of the Creation Sect!"

"Too powerful! To suppress and refine the entire Heavenly Fire Sect single-handedly... such strength is simply unbelievable!"

Those who witnessed this scene felt their hearts tremble slightly.

They had almost never imagined that humans could reach such a level through their own cultivation.

"Good timing."

The spiritual energy fluctuations from Gu Jinlai swept over Zhang Yukun and the others in an instant. "Aim at the Heavenly Fire Sect's cave heavens, unleash maximum firepower, and destroy all of these cave heavens!"

"Yes."

Upon receiving the order, Zhang Yukun led over a hundred Cheng Ying mechs without hesitation, aiming at the Heavenly Fire Sect's cave.

Yu Hanshan, located in the cave, and several True Immortals simultaneously changed their expressions.

"This is..."

"The kind of war weapon that appeared when attacking the newly built cave outside the Gate of Creation!? How could it still exist!?"

"According to intelligence, the attack power of this weapon is no less than the strongest strike of a peak True Immortal... How could the Creation Sect possibly produce so many of such powerful weapons!?"

"Hold on! Our Heavenly Fire Sect's cave has been built up over so many years that even a Profound Immortal cannot break through it in a short time. It can definitely withstand their attack until the Mo family's reinforcements arrive!"

While the True Immortals and Celestial Immortals of the Heavenly Fire Sect were filled with unease, hundreds of Cheng Ying mechs had already been lined up, each one gleaming with a cold, metallic luster under the firelight.

As the nuclear fusion reactor of each Chengying mech operated, terrifying energy was concentrated in the main cannon located in the chest of the Chengying mech.

"Boom boom boom!"

A streak of light pierced the sky.

One after another, nuclear shells, enhanced to their maximum potential, hurtled towards the Heavenly Fire Sect's grotto at speeds more than ten times the speed of sound.

A speed of more than ten times the speed of sound sounds very fast, let alone the celestial immortals and Dao lords in the cave heaven. Even a true immortal could easily dodge it if they paid a little attention.

But while humans can dodge, how can one hide in a grotto?

The Purple Flame Dao Master and Yu Hanshan, who were hiding in the cave, could only watch helplessly as hundreds of nuclear shells swept across the void between them, which was hundreds of miles apart, and crashed into the cave's walls.

The next moment, a radiance as intense as the sun's arrival completely filled the vision of Zi Yan Dao Zhu, Yu Han Shan, and the others.

The violent impact, accompanied by terrifying heat, frantically tore at the walls of the cave...

The destructive energy was so overwhelming that it turned the face of the Purple Flame Dao Master, who was struggling to maintain his unity with the cave, deathly pale.

"It's over."
