The streets of Soul Return Town are scarred and devastated.
"Huff... huff..."
Liu Ruyan's face was covered in dust and sweat.
His stamina had been completely exhausted during the breakout, and he could no longer even use the Bamboo Thunder Sword to fly.
I could only run wildly on the ground, following my Shadow.
How could that scumbag run away so fast?!
"Liu Ruyan complained as she breathed heavily."
"He vanished in the blink of an eye! Was he born in the Year of the Rabbit?!"
The Shadow following beside him did not answer.
Instead, he silently complained to himself, "Running away is fine, but at least wait until we hand over the goods to you before you run off..."
She lowered her head and glanced at the black wooden box she was holding in her arms.
At that very moment, a buzzing, resonant sound suddenly emanated from inside the box!
"This is..."
Shadow's expression changed.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, the space in front of them distorted.
Jiangnan and Dusk's figures suddenly appeared right in front of them!
Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth, ready to curse Jiangnan for abandoning them.
"Hide!"
Before the two could utter a sound, Jiangnan's expression turned cold and stern.
With a flick of his remaining left hand, a gust of wind shot out, sending Liu Ruyan and Shadow flying!
"Ouch!"
The two crashed behind a giant rock.
Jiangnan and Dusk followed closely behind, tumbling and disappearing into the shadow of the boulder.
"Jiangnan, what's wrong with you! What are you doing..."
When Liu Ruyan fell, she happened to bump into the wound she had sustained from the [Dragon Spear].
She was in so much pain that tears were about to fall, and she pointed at Jiangnan, about to start cursing.
But the next second, she was horrified to find that her voice had disappeared!
No, to be precise, it wasn't that her voice disappeared.
Instead, the entire world was engulfed by an even more immense wave of sound!
"Boom!!!"
Above the sky!
A beam of white light exploded with a deafening roar a thousand meters into the night!
The light covered the entire Soul Return Town!
What followed was a devastating roar and shockwave!
The already dilapidated ancient buildings on both sides of the street were blown down and crushed in large swathes by this shockwave!
In a corner of the ruins of the Shen Residence.
"Well..."
Zhao Yan, who had been knocked unconscious by Helge's Purple Firmament Thunder, had just woken up from his coma.
He shook his still-buzzing head, opened his eyes blankly, and looked at the sky, which was illuminated by white light as if it were daytime.
"That light... that noise..."
Zhao Yan rubbed his eyes, looking completely bewildered. "Whose fireworks were those? It's not even Chinese New Year yet!"
He hadn't finished speaking.
"Whoosh!"
A skeletal hand reached out, grabbed Zhao Yan by the collar, and threw him into a dented corner!
Zhao Yan was thrown around and felt completely disoriented. He looked closely.
This tiny corner was crammed full of people, lying haphazardly everywhere!
Guo Shuai, who had his eyes gouged out and fainted from the pain, Xin An and Han Fei, who were covered in charred Circle, and others, were also seriously injured.
The Heavenblade Dragon King Qin Jiudao, his armor shattered, along with Tu Xiaowu and the unconscious Shangguan Shuyi...
Almost all the survivors in Soul Return Town were thrown here!
"Bang!"
The large, one-legged skeleton limped in, propped itself up on a slab of bluestone, and stood directly above the group.
The giant skeleton that fought so desperately to protect everyone was none other than Shen Yingchun!
"Now that you're awake, stop pretending to be dead! Come over here and help me hold them off!"
Shen Yingchun roared at Zhao Yan.
"Good!"
Zhao Yan then realized something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to support the bottom of the bluestone slab!
"Boom!!!"
The shockwave crashed against the bluestone slabs like a tidal wave!
The two of them were almost blown away along with the stone slab!
Zhao Yan, grimacing under the pressure, roared, "What on earth is going on in the sky?!"
Shen Yingchun forced out two words through gritted teeth. "God War!!!"
At the same time.
This peerless light explosion, which could change the world structure, was seen by the top powerhouses from all corners of the strange island.
Prayer Deep Pool.
On a fortress-like, ghostly behemoth.
A mysterious figure with an extremely hot and slender figure, wearing a gorgeous pirate hat, is standing on the tallest mast.
She held up a jewel-encrusted monocular telescope in one hand, gazing at the rising white sun in the direction of Soul Return Town.
"Oh dear..."
"What beautiful fireworks! But..."
"Behind this beauty, there seems to be some danger."
Deep Pool Fortress.
On the cold city wall, a scout soldier knelt on the ground, reporting intelligence to a figure wielding a giant axe.
"Reporting, General! An unusual energy fluctuation has been detected in the direction of Soul Return Town! Suspected to be Demigod..."
"You don't need to tell me, I'm not blind."
The figure with the giant axe rudely interrupted the soldier's words.
He gripped the axe handle tightly, his tiger-like eyes fixed on the blinding pure white in the sky.
"That day... it's finally coming."
Dragon Xia Imperial City.
Deep within the imperial palace, in the eternally cold pool shrouded in mist.
Splash!
A stunningly beautiful figure with flowing purple hair had just emerged from the icy pool.
She looked up, gazing at the destructive light that exploded in the sky like a full moon.
"It's you... you're finally back."
She slowly raised her hand and removed the blindfold covering her left eye.
Beneath that hideous scar was a pure white eye, as white as the moon.
"Wait for me a little longer..."
"Wait for me a little longer..."
"I will kill you with my own hands..."
"Then, cut off your arm piece by piece..."
The ruins of Soul Return Town.
The burst of light finally ended, and the aftershocks gradually dissipated into the sky and earth.
The huge rock where Jiangnan and the others were hiding had been mostly sheared away, leaving only a small section standing in place.
Jiangnan shook off the dust and stepped out from behind the rocks.
"Cough cough cough..."
Liu Ruyan choked and coughed repeatedly.
She stared at the flattened ruins before her, her face filled with shock as she looked at Jiangnan.
"What on earth happened?! That explosion just now... you did it?!"
Jiangnan interrupted her without turning his head, "Don't speak."
"You!"
Liu Ruyan was furious; she had been thrown around like a ball, and this scumbag hadn't even apologized.
She was just about to open her mouth to yell when she suddenly felt her hair stand on end!
That's static electricity caused by free-floating lightning elements in the air!
Liu Ruyan subconsciously raised her head and followed Jiangnan's gaze to the sky.
The next second, her pupils dilated instantly!
Because after the white light completely dissipated in the sky, a huge figure reappeared above the clouds!
It was a cloud giant hundreds of meters tall, its entire body covered in raging [Purple Firmament Thunder]!
It was the same elemental avatar that Albert detonated earlier!
However, the cloud giant looked extremely disheveled at this moment, as half of its body had been completely blasted into Void in the previous burst of light.
And standing on the head of that cloud giant was not Albert, but... Phoenix Emperor!
At the very last moment of the light burst, Phoenix Emperor actually activated the same elemental domain as Albert!
Wind-Water-Thunder God!
But at this Phoenix Emperor, the ghostly flames in Phoenix's eyes dimmed considerably, clearly indicating that the explosion of light had cost her dearly.
She appeared somewhat weak, but the power of the Thundercloud Giant still made her aura domineering over the world!
She lowered her head, looking at the tiny Jiangnan on the ground.
"Jiangnan! You've got some serious skills!!!"
The Phoenix Emperor's voice was amplified by the Cloud Giant.
"They actually used my own energy, compressed to a critical point, to blow myself up!"
"But... you can do it once, can you do it a second time?!"
Jiangnan squinted, staring intently at the sky.
"Does she have some other trick up her sleeve?"
Jiangnan secretly made his own plans.
The addition of these elements to the Phoenix Emperor has exceeded his original plan.
However, these additional elements are still not enough to change the fact that she is seriously injured.
Since she dares to be so arrogant, there's only one possibility...
Jiangnan gripped the Godslayer Spear tightly, staring at the sky.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the Shen Residence on the other side.
"Phew... it's finally stopped..."
Zhao Yan withdrew his Supernatural Ability and slumped to the ground, letting out a sigh of relief.
But when he looked up, he suddenly noticed that Shangguan Shuyi, who had been unconscious beside him, was floating up.
It was flying straight towards the cloud giant in the sky!
"What happened?!"
Zhao Yan was shocked and tried to reach out to pull him back, but was pushed away by an invisible force.
Shen Yingchun leaned against the broken stone slab, watching Shangguan Shuyi gradually rise into the air, and sighed.
"It's no use... stop it."
"Lord Phoenix Emperor... has finally been forced to this point and is planning to use her true trump card..."
Above the sky.
Shangguan Shuyi, who had fallen into a coma, floated to the front of the Phoenix Emperor.
She grabbed Shangguan Shuyi by the neck.
Immediately afterwards.
"Buzz!!!"
A dazzling, majestic golden light erupted from Shangguan Shuyi's body!
To everyone's astonishment, Shangguan Shuyi transformed into a giant calligraphy brush amidst the light!
She is...
In the entire Barbaric Realm, apart from the [Mortal Fireworks Painting]!
Another supreme Spirit Artifact capable of reversing the course of events!
[Mountains and Rivers Brush]!!!
