At the halfway point up Green Mountain.
The Fox Ancestor's will drew upon Green Mountain's power to bless the five million foxes. The foxes benefited, but no one noticed—or perhaps they had noticed, yet at that moment, every one of them was immersed in the Azure Light covering them.
Their earlier cries had vanished. One by one, they knelt on the ground with their eyes closed, immersed in the Azure Light. Their faces were utterly serene. They seemed completely unaware of the blinding radiance outside.
Zhong Shan protected the foxes. He even invoked magic to form a barrier, cutting off the inside from the outside.
"Bang~~~~~!"
Su Rou Niang, who had previously merged into one, suddenly split in two. Or rather, Su Mei Niang was suddenly repelled by the Azure Light.
"Ah!"
"Whoosh!"
Zhong Shan instantly caught Su Mei Niang as she flew out.
"Let go, let go of me!" Su Mei Niang said anxiously.
Holding Su Mei Niang, Zhong Shan slowly descended to one side.
Su Mei Niang's face flushed slightly as she forcibly struggled free of Zhong Shan's embrace. She was just about to vent her anger at him when she suddenly sensed that something around her was different. Then, with a look of astonishment, she stared at the radiance in the sky.
High above, the phantom of a giant man wielded the Pan Gu Axe and brought it down.
"Pan Gu?" Su Mei Niang said in surprise.
Zhong Shan also raised his head toward the sky once more.
High above, the phantom of Pan Gu brought the Pan Gu Axe crashing down upon Old Ancestor Hongjun.
As the axe descended, the entire world was filled with dazzling white light. Zhong Shan understood that this was no ordinary white light, but the radiance of the War Heaven Vein.
