Shatter Five-Finger Mountain, Strip the Mountain Envoy's Office!

"To wipe them all out in one fell swoop?" The Mountain Envoy sneered. "What arrogance!" As he finished speaking, his gaze swept over Qiu Yan, noticing the faint silver radiance, but there was little surprise in his Divine Eye.

Then, a silver glint also shot out from the azure light on its Divine Body!

The silvery light gradually expanded!

This Southwest Mountain Envoy, ostensibly Fourth Grade deity, is actually Third Grade deity!

This wasn't the first time Qiu Yan had encountered something like this; Yin Xiao'e had also tried to conceal something similar back then.

"Didn't expect that, did you!" The Mountain Envoy revealed a smile. "My Fourth Grade- rank divine Divine Radiance is merely an outward manifestation of my Divine Office! The Core Talisman of its essence is actually Third Grade! Exactly the same as yours! Don't think that just because you have Third Grade position, you can do whatever you want. You even said you would wipe out my entire Underworld Office in one fell swoop—what a joke!"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the gods, and he sensed their shock and lingering fear, realizing that his actions had indeed intimidated them.

These deities, gathered under the command of the Mountain Envoy, came from diverse backgrounds. Some were his trusted confidants, waiting loyally, while others harbored opportunistic intentions, and some were simply forced by circumstances. Their motivations varied greatly. The Mountain Envoy had been planning to find an opportunity to intimidate them and win them over.

"However, revealing my cultivation level still carries risks. If it gets back to the Heavenly Court, they might take away my new Divine Office, and all my previous efforts would be for nothing. But I can't worry about the present moment. Besides, if I can use this to suppress the disloyalty of the gods, it would be a good strategy."

Thinking this, the Mountain Envoy's gaze fell on Qiu Yan again, and then he frowned, not noticing any surprise on the other's face.

"That's true. This god is also at the Third Grade rank, difficult for other deities to detect, but he is completely transparent to me. Logically speaking, the two sides are evenly matched, but this is my Underworld Office, and I have many Subordinate Deity. Compared to the sacrifice itself, I have the advantage..."

The Mountain Envoy grew more resolute, but still had a lingering doubt: why his combined aura had failed to elicit any reaction from Qiu Yan.

But with the arrow already on the bowstring, he had no time to investigate the reason. With a Divine Sense, the surrounding soil trembled, the Underworld Office roared, and a surge of incense and People's Wishes poured out!

"I am the Mountain Envoy. You dare to fight before my incense and the Underworld Office? I have never heard of such a foolish god!" As he uttered these words, the Incense Divine Power surged forth from behind the Mountain Envoy like a tidal wave. The wolf's head, dozens of feet tall, instantly engulfed him. The next moment, his entire Divine Body merged with the incense of the Underworld Office, and the silver Divine Radiance combined with it, scattering into starlight and merging into the incense.

Then, the Incense Divine Power changed. Ferocious beasts from the mountains and forests roared out, like long dragons, rushing towards Qiu Yan, trying to trap him and turn him into a prison!

"Didn't you ever think about why I've been standing here for so long?" Facing the oncoming surging waves, Qiu Yan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Without any apparent movement, his Humanistic Divine Power spread out, forming individual character blocks that combined in mid-air to form the sentence, "The noble clan's horns are gleaming, yet they dare to act like ferocious beasts of the mountains and forests."

These words surged forward, striking a weak point in the Mountain Envoy divine power, piercing it instantly, and then spreading like a plague, instantly infecting the ferocious beasts of the mountains and forests formed from the fierce divine power.

Collapse!

The next moment, the surging scene suddenly dissipated, scattering into countless fragments of divine power. The Mountain Envoy had been integrated into the fragments, was also ejected, tumbling through the air with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Swish!

In a flash, Qiu Yan was already in front of him, grabbing at him with one hand!

"Hmm?" The Mountain Envoy was startled. His entire body shimmered with silver light, and a powerful and terrifying pressure erupted. Divine power, as majestic as a high mountain and as deep as a valley, surged forth, infused with the Incense Faith. The nature of the divine power shifted back and forth, and Domain of Law spread out, Yin-Yang flowing, stirring the divine power into a vortex.

Within the vortex, there was a sense that it would pull all the surrounding Mortal World into the Netherworld, sink it into the abyss, and suppress it at the bottom of the mountain!

This was not an illusion. The moment the divine power erupted, the surrounding soil, air, and Spiritual Qi were all pulled towards it, and even the fragments of divine power collapsed into the divine power.

The gods before the Underworld Office all swayed, pulled, and were about to be drawn into the vortex of divine power, with even their Divine Sense showing signs of being devoured!

This startled the gods, who immediately restrained their Divine Sense and guarded themselves. They barely managed to calm down, but they were still filled with lingering fear and felt the power of the Mountain Envoy even more, so they dared not harbor any disloyal thoughts.

Then, with a crisp sound, Qiu Yan's outstretched hand pierced through the vortex of divine power, shattering it like glass. The Humanistic Divine Power in his hand rippled, accompanied by thunder and lightning, generating a power that made even extraordinary beings retreat!

Enveloped by this power, even the divine power vortex, which connects Yin-Yang, cannot stop it. Moreover, the driving force of this power is two levels higher than that of the divine power vortex.

Do not forget that although Qiu Yan only displayed the Third Grade Divine Radiance, his essence was that of First Rank god, and he had faintly touched a higher level of realm. Not to mention, the four days of ups and downs allowed a bit of Human Path Thunder to be embedded in his Divine Body. At this moment, the lightning also erupted along with the Humanistic Divine Power.

"Impossible!" Seeing his trump card, the miraculous Divine Ability, so easily shattered by the opponent, a sense of fear rose in the Mountain Envoy's heart.

But he knew that in this life-or-death moment, there was no room for anything else. With a Divine Sense, he suppressed his fear and cried out, "My darling, protect me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Jiannan Circuit shook violently. All the mountains in the Shu Region trembled. Except for the Spirit Mountain and rivers suppressed by the Daoist Sect, the remaining essence of the Earth Veins split off and instantly flowed into the depths, merging into a mountain buried deep underground.

This mountain resembles five fingers. Although it is not large in size, it appears extremely dense. The mountain is covered with smooth rocks, and after absorbing the essence of the mountains and Earth Veins, it shines with luster.

In an instant, it absorbed the essence of the Earth Veins, then the mountain turned and disappeared into thin air. When it reappeared, it was already blocking the way for the Mountain Envoy, separating him from Qiu Yan!

Bang!

The mountain suddenly trembled, and a massive force, as if the Five Sacred Mountains had converged, roared out and struck Qiu Yan's Divine Body, like a torrent of refined iron crashing down, about to shatter his Divine Body!

"Min Yuan, you forced me to use this treasure, interrupting its nurturing process and causing significant damage, preventing it from reaching its full potential. After this, I will definitely make you..."

Upon seeing the Five-Finger Mountain blocking his way, the Mountain Envoy out a long sigh of relief, followed by an outburst of anger and frustration at being forced into such a predicament, and he shouted.

However, before the words were finished, a crackling sound came from Five-Finger Mountain, and a figure burst out of the mountain!

Its body shimmered with orange light, crackling with lightning, accompanied by blocks of characters, two dragons intertwined, and the towering mountains and rivers transformed into a whirlwind, merging with countless divine powers!

Boom!

The opposing and repulsive forces between heaven and earth manifested rapidly, hurtling towards them with a roar!

Creak!

The Underworld Office Palace suddenly showed signs of being unable to withstand the pressure, revealing cracks. The gods inside and outside the palace felt a tightness in their chests, their divine power was disrupted, and even their Divine Radiance was forced back into their bodies! They were all extremely horrified!

They were just marveling at the Mountain Envoy's strength. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, the Mountain Envoy's opponent would display such power!

Disperse!

In the blink of an eye, after breaking through the barrier of the Five-Finger Mountain, Qiu Yan's thoughts shifted, and his First Rank power receded, seeping back into his body through the Subordinate Deity body—these cracks were marks left when he suppressed the Eye-Bearing Star Lord and the old Daoist's External Incarnation. They represented severe injuries to his Divine Body, which, although suppressed, did not mean complete recovery.

However, as the power of the First Rank faded, a mysterious aura emanated from the cracks in the Divine Body, weakening Qiu Yan's power. The power of heaven and earth, which had not yet had time to surround him, retreated accordingly.

Boom!

The Five-Finger Mountain completely collapsed, revealing the Mountain Envoy's face, twisted with surprise!

In the blink of an eye, Qiu Yan's five fingers grabbed and pressed against his face. Then, Humanistic Divine Power surged from his palm and flowed into the Mountain Envoy's body through his seven orifices!

Shake! Shake! Shake!

The Mountain Envoy's body trembled violently, as if in a spasm, and his powerful aura vanished completely!

Coo coo coo!

Then, strange sounds emanated from its Divine Body, and its Divine Radiance rapidly faded, disappearing starting from its head, passing through its neck, chest, arms, torso, legs, and finally reaching its toes...

Once the divine power dissipated and flesh and blood regenerated, the Mountain Envoy no longer possessed any Spiritual Qi. He gasped for breath, as if a mortal were suffocating.

Qiu Yan flicked his hand, channeling a bit of divine power into it, and with a scream, he extracted a Core Talisman.

"This... the Mountain Envoy revealed his cultivation level, yet he is still no match for him!"

"This is terrifying! The level of this Nascent Primordial Spirit cultivator far exceeds our imagination! How can we possibly defeat him?"

"We've kicked a hornet's nest!"

"Disaster!"

"Escape!"

Not far away, the gods witnessed this scene, and their expressions all changed drastically; the change had happened far too quickly.

Just moments ago, the Mountain Envoy driving the beasts of the mountains to besiege Qiu Yan, but then the situation took a dramatic turn, and he himself was defeated by Qiu Yan and was now in Qiu Yan's Ascending Life unknown.

However, they had no time to figure out the fate of the Mountain Envoy. With a flick of their divine power, they scattered in all directions!

The speed of the gods is incredible; they vanish in a flash of light, their speed almost as fast as the sight of a person.

But...

"I lingered here for quite some time, not only to analyze the divine energy structure of this place, but also to make some arrangements..."

Before the words were even finished, the fleeing beings all stopped, blocked by a net formed of Humanistic Divine Power. Cries of alarm rose and fell. Due to the speed of the impact, many gods crashed directly into the net. After being tainted by Humanistic Divine Power, their Divine Body even showed signs of regression, and they panicked even more!

At this moment, Qiu Yan moved his fingers again, and the talisman that had just been drawn out shone with light, splitting into Karmic Thread that spread out in Eight Directions, connecting with the fleeing deities.

One of the strands also extended to Qiu Yan's body, linking together with the talismanic Law Script representing the Nine Spirits Mountain.

"Oh? I knew it..." A glint flashed in Qiu Yan's eyes.
