"Thud!"
The sound of the Fallen Mage's half body hitting the ground rang out almost simultaneously with his scream.
But in the next second, a golden sword shadow flashed past. The Fallen Mage's head slowly rolled twice before falling completely silent.
"Mage Huo Yuhao... Or should I call you Master Huo?" The three Fallen Mages fighting the Guardian Mages ahead stopped fighting. One of them looked at Huo Yuhao with a mocking expression.
"Young man, you're still too young... We can manipulate space in reality as easily as we manipulate the Illusion Space. Guess how strong we'll be after leaving reality?"
The Guardian Mages, who had gotten a chance to catch their breath, shouted, "Be careful! After losing the suppression of the reality dimension, these followers of Dormammu can receive even more blessings from the Dark Dimension. They'll be stronger in the Illusion Space!"
Hearing the Guardian Mages' anxious warning, the three Fallen Mages not only showed no intention of stopping them, but instead revealed mocking, evil grins like cats toying with mice.
"Oh? How strong?" Huo Yuhao flourished the Vishanti Holy Sword in his hand. Golden Magic Energy flashed and flowed as he lunged forward.
One Fallen Mage snarled. The Dark Dimension Mark on his forehead shone, and a Dimensional Spear appeared in his hand as he charged toward Huo Yuhao.
Just as the two sides were about to clash, the Fallen Mage waved his hand, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly flipped over.
But unlike the other Guardian Mages, Huo Yuhao did not panic. A Dimension Door suddenly appeared in front of the Fallen Mage.
The Fallen Mage saw the rolling Golden Lava on the other side of the Dimension Door. He only had time to show a terrified expression before he lost his footing and plunged into the sea of fire.
The next instant, the Dimension Door closed on its own. Huo Yuhao did not slow down at all, charging straight toward the two remaining Fallen Mages.
"Die!" One Fallen Mage's expression changed drastically. He formed a Hand Seal with both hands, and surging Black Flame erupted from between his fingers. But before the flames could reach Huo Yuhao, a golden Holy Sword pierced through them and stabbed into the Mage's head!
Seeing that something was wrong, the other Dark Mage turned and tried to flee. But Dimension Doors the size of bowls rapidly appeared all around him. Each one appeared and vanished in an instant, yet every time, a fair fist struck out from within.
In the less-than-two seconds between realizing something was wrong and turning to flee, the Fallen Mage was brutally pummeled by fists that appeared out of thin air. He took a full fifty punches! He had only just turned around, without even taking a step, when his eyes rolled back and he collapsed.
The Guardian Mages, who had yet to recover and had only just prepared to force themselves to support Huo Yuhao, stared wide-eyed at the youth who had eliminated three Fallen Mages in the blink of an eye. Their mouths hung open. "This, this is..."
"This is Huo Family Maze Fist." Huo Yuhao casually glossed over the matter. His feet stopped right in front of the Guardian Mages as he asked, "Are there any other places that need support?"
Several Guardian Mages glanced at the Fallen Mage on the ground, who had already been beaten into a pig's head and was barely breathing. The corners of their mouths twitched, but they quickly answered Huo Yuhao:
"These Fallen Ones are acting separately, attacking the Planet Sacred Halls. Nearly thirty Sacred Halls in the Northern Star Domain have already fallen. Everywhere needs support!"
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Rest here for a while. I'll go support the other Sacred Halls."
As soon as he finished speaking, a Dimension Door appeared. Huo Yuhao stepped into it and vanished.
Among the remaining Guardian Mages, one glanced again at the dying Fallen Mage, went over, and delivered a finishing blow to kill him. Only then did he look at his companions in confusion and ask:
"Do you think Master Huo's Maze Fist means that he beats people senseless with random punches, so they'll still get lost even after going to hell?"
The other Mages glanced at the Fallen Mage, who had nearly been beaten to death by the flurry of punches, and nodded deeply in agreement.
"Huo Family Maze Fist—truly terrifying!"
The scene then began to change rapidly.
Huo Yuhao's figure constantly appeared in one different Sacred Hall after another. He casually unleashed powerful spells, dispatching the Fallen Mages who had grown tremendously stronger after embracing the Dark Dimension as easily as chopping vegetables.
After Huo Yuhao eliminated the Fallen Mages invading a Sacred Hall for the seventh time, he once again arranged for several Guardian Mages to rest.
The few Guardian Mages, already carrying injuries, nodded and were about to speak when the Sacred Hall Main Hall behind them lit up with ominous red light. At the same time, a heavy bell rang out.
"Not good! The Core Sacred Hall is under attack!" Several Guardian Mages' expressions changed drastically!
"I'll return immediately!" Huo Yuhao's expression turned solemn.
The scene shifted again.
Within the Core Sacred Hall, its exclusive protective barrier had already lit up.
"The day has finally come..." The Ancient One withdrew her distant, profound gaze from afar and walked into the Main Hall.
Unlike the planetary shadows in the Main Halls of ordinary Node Sacred Halls, the very center of the Core Sacred Hall's Main Hall held a deep starry sky. On the other side of that starry sky, a filthy, heavy darkness churned restlessly, impatient to rush inside.
The summoned Guardian Mages stood beneath the starry sky, their gazes firm and unyielding. They had already prepared to fight to the very end!
"What follows will be a difficult battle. Leave the Dark Believers outside to the other Mages..."
The Ancient One calmly swept her gaze over every Mage present before emphasizing, "Our mission is to do everything in our power to stop Dormammu from corroding the Dimensional Defense Array!"
She raised both hands and released powerful Magic Aura. "Begin, everyone!"
Powerful forces gathered one after another and poured into the core of the Dimensional Defense Array. The starry-sky image in the Main Hall suddenly brightened considerably, slowly forcing back the invading darkness...
Outside the Core Sacred Hall's barrier, Golden Red Flowing Fire spun and transformed into a doorway. Huo Yuhao emerged from it wearing a red Magic Cloak—the cloak had been given to him by the Guardian Mages inside after he eliminated the Fallen Mages in one Sacred Hall.
When Huo Yuhao stepped out of the Dimension Door, the first thing he saw was a scene resembling a Doomsday Calamity!
Huo Yuhao was fighting beneath the Heavenly Screen. The breathtaking sequence of images left countless viewers on the Douluo Continent exhilarated and dumbfounded!
First, Kaecilius and his subordinates had easily conquered a Planet Sacred Hall. The strength displayed by two ordinary Mages following Kaecilius was already astonishing.
They plucked space itself and turned it into an indestructible Dimensional Spear, flipping reality with a wave of their hands as though manipulating the Illusion Space!
The two Fallen Mages had proven through their actions what it meant to become ten times stronger after turning evil!
And it was not just them. The Fallen Mages attacking the other Sacred Halls had all displayed strength far beyond that of ordinary Guardian Mages!
This inevitably reminded the people of the Douluo Continent of a group that existed in their homeland—Evil Soul Masters!
