Facing a Sixth-Tier Sanctuary!

The Sword Forger reached out and tossed the Divine Steed to Lin Feng, saying, "Divine Steed you go, you have the speed of a fifth-tier hero, and you're the fastest here."

"Go and come back quickly, don't keep us waiting too long."

After receiving the Divine Steed, and looking at the Yi Jing and the Sword Forger standing side by side, Lin Feng hesitated for a long time before turning away.

With his Fifth Tier Lower Rank speed unleashed at full power, combined with the speed boost from his Divine Steed, he vanished in the blink of an eye.

Lin Feng headed straight for the Chaos Empire.

The two men, Yi Jing and the Sword Forger, standing side by side, grinned upon seeing this. "I say, old buddy, aren't we getting a little too big for our britches?"

Looking at the Phoenix and Loki in the sky, Yi Jing smiled with relief, "Anyway, we've already died once, so what's wrong with dying again?"

"Speaking of which, how long has it been since we fought side by side?"

"Who knows?" the Sword Forger laughed.

"Get ready..."

"They're here!"

Three days later.

Inside the Chaos Empire, at the church.

The priest quietly opened his eyes. "I suddenly have a bad feeling..."

009, inside the church, glanced at him upon hearing this. "Don't be so pessimistic, although I also have a bad feeling..."

Bump!

The church door was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Feng, covered in wounds, rushed into the church. "Loki... has appeared!"

Upon hearing this, 009 suddenly stood up. "Father, inform Arthur and the others to come with me..."

For some reason, 009 suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

The priest frowned. "I'll do it now..."

"No, no need."

009 interrupted the priest, merging with Adolf and unleashing the God-Slaying Spear as they walked out the door.

"I'll go by myself."

Watching 009's retreating figure, the priest frowned even more deeply. "Perhaps you have your reasons, but have you considered yourselves?"

"Loki's methods are unpredictable, and precisely because they are the most effective counter to your mental attacks, going alone is undoubtedly..."

009 didn't turn around. "If even my fifth-level spirit can't withstand it, how could anyone else possibly?"

The priest swallowed back the words he was about to say, and instead picked up a necklace from the table beside him. "At least wear this. Thousand Throat won't need it for now."

009 took the necklace; it was the artifact he had given Qianhou before, the Nine Clear Stone Pendant.

It has the ability to keep the holder rational and free from mental interference, and can cope with mental attacks to a certain extent.

But only to a certain extent.

For example, if the other party's ability is mental control, or manipulation of the five senses, then this thing is very useful.

However, if the opponent is like Li Yuan, who directly attacks the soul with Mental Power, this thing will be useless.

From a just-in-a-lifetime perspective, wearing this is indeed a form of insurance.

009 tied the necklace around her neck and then walked out of the church.

"Lead the way."

Meanwhile, on the battlefield of the Sun Country.

The Snow Woman was paralyzed by Loki's mental manipulation and lost her fighting ability.

After realizing this, Yi Jing used his power to pull the Phoenix and the Sword Forger into the Eight Trigrams Space.

Sword Forger are at the upper level of the fourth rank, while Yi Jing is only at the middle level of the fourth rank. No matter how you look at it, the chances of the two of them winning against Phoenix with the peak power of the fifth rank are slim.

Fortunately, neither of them was without a backup plan. The I Ching had the power of Tai Chi, and the Sword Forger had the Tyrant Sword.

"Kun has established her position; shrink back!"

Using the advantages of the Eight Trigrams Space, the I Ching can completely control all changes on the battlefield. The Sword Forger took a step forward and, with the help of the I Ching's ability, Shrinking Ground to an inch to arrive behind the Phoenix!

The Phoenix swept its attack behind it, its fiery wings clashing with the Tyrant's Sword!

Boom!

With a loud bang, the Sword Forger was sent flying!

He tumbled in the air for a moment, barely managing to adjust his posture before collapsing to his knees and coughing up a mouthful of blood. "Cough cough pfft... The gap between the upper level of the fourth rank and the peak of the fifth rank is a bit too big, isn't it..."

Moreover, the tyrant's poison had no effect on the Phoenix.

Phoenix presses its advantage, and the I Ching unleashes its power once more!

"The Heavenly Position is established, now turn!"

Phoenix's world was instantly turned upside down. Faced with this troublesome ability, Phoenix was also extremely annoyed. "Are you in such a hurry to die?"

The Phoenix instantly overcame the inverted world and turned to attack the I Ching!

The I Ching takes a step back, "Qian represents Heaven, and signifies stability!"

A tremendous force acted directly on the Phoenix, seemingly trying to crush it to the ground, but the Phoenix broke free from the suppression!

"It's no use!"

"Tianshan Escape!"

With a flash, Yi Jing stepped onto the Qian and Gen trigrams, arriving directly beside the Sword Forger. At the same time, he stomped his foot on the ground, chanting, "Water over the marsh, thunder over the marsh, hopeless against heavenly thunder!"

"It's no use!!"

Boom!

The Phoenix shattered the power of the I Ching, and the I Ching itself couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, "Even using all sixty-four hexagrams, it still can't harm me..."

Then, let's transform Yin and Yang into Tai Chi!

The Taiji Diagram beneath the feet of the I Ching instantly dispersed, transforming into Yin Fire and Yang Fire!

The Sword Forger rallied, gripping the sword with both hands, "As long as I can touch him..."

If you can touch the Phoenix, you can turn it into a sword!

However, the I Ching did not intend for him to do so. "The Phoenix has already reached the peak of the fifth rank. If you touch his True Fire, you will turn to ashes. Don't do anything foolish, old friend."

The Sword Forger gave a bitter smile. "If we don't do this, I'm afraid neither of us will escape death."

"That's... not necessarily true." As he spoke, Yi Jing suddenly dispelled the Eight Trigrams Space, as if he had sensed something!

The Eight Trigrams Space is released.

As soon as Phoenix arrived outside, a Black Spear pierced his head!

Pfft!

The Phoenix's head exploded, and 009, wielding Black Spear, spun around and beheaded the Phoenix. The peak fifth-tier cultivator also perished on the spot!

But...

The dead Phoenix instantly solidified into a giant egg, which fell from the sky and landed on the ground.

009 flicked the God-Slaying Spear, and the flames burning on the spearhead went out.

The flames within a thousand miles were extinguished; the Phoenix died, and the True Fire was extinguished as well.

"I don't think I'm too late."

Yi Jing smiled faintly, "It should be said that it came at just the right time."

"Next, it's your turn." 009 said, pointing the God-Slaying Spear at Loki!

Loki's expression gradually darkened upon seeing this. "Even with the power of a peak fifth-tier cultivator, is this all there is?"

"Fine, since my time is running out anyway, there's no need to hide any longer. I'll let you ants see what a sacred realm is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Loki's power restrictions were lifted, and the terrifying pressure of a sixth-order Saint Realm swept out, suffocating everyone!

At the peak of the fourth realm of the Saintly Domain, a planet could be destroyed in the blink of an eye!

Loki is a master of both fire and spirit, and his spiritual abilities are even more powerful than his fire!

"Kneel down!!"

As soon as Loki finished speaking, his boundless Mental Power swept over everyone present, knocking them all to the ground!

009 was not immune either, and was overwhelmed by this Mental Shock!

It felt as if an entire planet was pressing down on his soul, making it impossible for him to get up, and it felt as if his body was about to be shattered!

Looking at the entire sequence kneeling on the ground, Loki laughed, "That's right, insects should act like insects!"

"Don't worry, you've cut off my arm, but I won't let you die too easily!"

009 lay on the ground, gritting his teeth. Sixth-tier Saint Realm—this was a power they had never seen before!

Let alone using the God-Slaying Spear, he couldn't even lift a finger!

Is it over?

009 closed his eyes reluctantly. That disgusting feeling was back... that sense of powerlessness!

Why does God always like to play these kinds of jokes on him?

009 isn't afraid of death, but he promised those people he would lead them to victory in this game!

"I'm not reconciled!"

Unfortunately, this isn't a heartwarming or inspirational story; even if you shout about the bonds of friendship, it won't change anything.

"Kirov reporting."

Um?

A sudden burst of noise echoed across the battlefield.

The voice was very familiar...

009 tried to look up, but couldn't see anything; layers of spatial fluctuations appeared in the sky.

It's like something is making a collective and large-scale Space Jump!

Loki was also stunned for a moment. He looked up and saw a massive fleet of spaceships appear out of thin air!

Before he could react, the fleet of warships that had just begun to appear simultaneously fired a black laser that engulfed Loki!

Boom!!

In an instant, the mental suppression imposed on 009 and the others disappeared?

009 got up and heard a mechanical voice suddenly ring out!

"Kirov Airship reporting for duty."
