Underground World

Xu Qing frowned tightly at this, but his resolve only grew firmer.

"Go!"

As the group pressed deeper, the Four Alliances' devastation gradually came into view.

The former prosperity and peace were gone, replaced by wreckage and wails as far as the eye could see.

Across the land, fleeing civilians and rampaging demon beasts formed a heartbreaking scene.

An indescribable fury and compassion surged within Xu Qing.

He knew full well that every moment of hesitation would mean the loss of countless lives.

"Kill!"

At the command, the Illusion Spirit Sect cultivators descended like tigers from the mountain.

One after another, they threw themselves into this life-and-death battle.

Some unleashed their magical treasures, their radiance blazing;

others displayed divine abilities of astonishing power.

Xu Qing took the lead himself. With a spear in hand, wherever Shadow Fiend passed, demon beasts wailed and fell.

Yet after taking in batch after batch of refugees and fleeing cultivators, the entire group had swelled to more than ten thousand people.

As a result, their speed dropped drastically.

However, just as everyone thought they could finally breathe easy, an even more terrifying aura suddenly shrouded the entire battlefield.

A hazy figure abruptly appeared in the sky.

It seemed both real and illusory, resembling an enormous toad.

With a whoosh, it shot out its tongue toward the people below!!

"How dare you!!"

The Illusion Spirit Sect's Grand Elder, Zhou Qi, a pseudo-Immortal Ascension Realm expert, shot into the air.

The phantom image of a massive star crashed into the tongue with a thunderous boom!

"Watch out!!" Zhou Qi's expression changed drastically. He suddenly spat out blood and shouted!!

Everyone's faces changed!

That star instantly collapsed, while the gigantic tongue curled back into the sky.

Yet everyone could see that neither side had gained the upper hand
