"Devils! They're not human! They're devils!"

As a terrified scream rang out from a Garden soldier, all the Garden Army slowly retreated and tightened their defensive lines.

If it weren't for the overwhelming long-range firepower from the enemy's rear, the Garden Army would be in much worse shape than they were, retreating slowly.

"See that? Your men are nothing but a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals."

Xiahou Chan struck Dong Tian's arm, knocking him back and mocking him. Although they were both at the Emanator level, Xiahou Chan had the favor of the Aeon, while Dong Tian did not, so Dong Tian was inferior to Xiahou Chan in terms of strength.

"Hmph, you only managed to drive away the cannon fodder in the Garden, what are you so arrogant about?"

As soon as he said this, Dong Tian frowned, his fighting instincts causing him to dodge to the side.

The instant Dong Tian dodged, Amo reappeared in the same spot, his long sword still poised to slash downwards.

"Quick reaction, what a pity to miss such a good opportunity."

Amo sheathed his long sword with a regretful expression, then turned to look at Dong Tian, who was panting heavily.

Just now Amo deliberately chose a situation where Dong Tian had not yet unleashed his new power after being defeated by Xiahou Chan, but Dong Tian still managed to sense his aura and forcefully dodge it. This kind of combat intuition can be described as shrewd and experienced.

"Ha, so you're the scapegoat that old man Ge just pushed out?"

Dong Tian wiped his mouth, a mocking look on his face.

Amo raised an eyebrow, then said with a disdainful look, "Ha, a scapegoat? Dong Tian, you probably haven't realized your current predicament yet."

"You were no match for Brother Xiahou to begin with, and now with me added to the mix, what chance do you have of turning the tables?"

"Hmph, you really think you've got this in the bag?"

A strange smile appeared on Dong Tian's lips, and his aura began to surge, with powerful energy bursting forth from Dong Tian body.

His body began to twist and split, but his face showed no pain, only extreme excitement.

Dong Tian's loud laughter continued, and a black vortex appeared where Dong Tian had been hovering.

The black vortex swallowed all of Dong Tian's fragments, and greedy, ancient power surged from it.

Xiahou Chan sensed this terrifying power and tried to stop it, but the power suppressed him tightly, rendering him unable to move.

Two breaths later, the vortex disappeared, and what appeared in the spot was a twisted, headless, eyeless creature with a gaping mouth that stretched to its armpits, eight limbs, and a maggot-like appearance.

Its large mouth dripped a thick, dark green liquid. The liquid fell onto the head of a soldier below who couldn't get out of the way in time, and instantly dissolved him from top to bottom. In just three breaths, a living person turned into a puddle of yellow pus.

"Vomit!"

"He! He's melted!"

"What... what is this thing?! A monster!"

"Retreat! Retreat! All Antimatter Legion, retreat!"

On the ground battlefield, Wanmeng loudly issued orders, and not only the Alliance Army, but even the Garden Army began to retreat in large numbers, leaving the area directly below the Sky Battlefield.

"What a terrifying aura."

Amo frowned. He wasn't Emanator, or even Pathstrider, so he felt this terrifying aura most deeply. If it weren't for Xiaohe protecting him, Amo would probably have already fallen from mid-air by now.

" Amo, be careful. There's a terrifying aura emanating from Dong Tian. Although it's deathly still, it makes my heart pound."

As Xiaohe spoke, Xiahou Chan and Amo assumed a fighting stance. Even Xiaohe felt a chill run down her spine, so it was certain that this power was definitely no less than that of the Emanator.

"Power... Hahaha, this is power! This is my power! I am not a loser! I am Dong Tian!"

Dong Tian burst into deafening laughter, the sound waves of which even caused some soldiers to bleed from their seven orifices.

"Old Ge, do you see this? This is my true power! I am Dong Tian!"

Xiahou Chan's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Dong Tian in an instant. His halberd, with the momentum to split mountains and cleave the earth, was cleaved down towards Dong Tian's head. However, this powerful blow was blocked by Dong Tian's two arms.

In the instant he blocked the punch, two more arms simultaneously delivered a blow to Xiahou Chan's abdomen.

With his weapon restrained by Dong Tian, Xiahou Chan had no time to dodge and was immediately sent flying by the force.

Xiahou Chan landed with a splash, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Dong Tian moved to rush forward and finish off the enemy, but then a black blade of light appeared in front of him. Dong Tian felt the intense, Nihility power of the blade of light, and his body reacted instinctively.

His forward-moving body came to an abrupt halt, and he quickly retreated dozens of meters. Although he was now confident in his strength, he still adhered to the principle of avoiding contact with nothingness if Nihility.

He looked at Amo, his initial disdain turning into apprehension. Amo hadn't used the Nihility in his previous sneak attack, so he didn't know Amo possessed the power of the Nihility. Now that he knew, he felt that even Xiahou Chan, the Emanator, was less dangerous than Amo in his eyes.

"Pah. That's impressive. Looks like your heretical skills have improved quite a bit."

Xiahou Chan spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression more solemn than ever before. He had to admit that Dong Tian's strength was now on par with his own, and that was without even using the power within his body.

If he were to unleash that power, Xiahou Chan couldn't guarantee he could defeat Dong Tian.

But he is a general! He is the General Youding of the Immortal Xianzhou Daiyu! He is the pillar of the Alliance Army! He absolutely cannot fall before Qingzhu and Daiyu's main force arrive! Moreover, his pride as Emanator of Existence will not allow him to lose to someone who has betrayed Existence!

A fierce fighting spirit ignited in Xiahou Chan's eyes, and the halberd in his hand seemed to hum in response to his fighting spirit.

"Let's fight!"

The ground beneath Xiahou Chan's feet cracked, and he flew out like a cannonball, his battle-ready strike slashing down on Dong Tian with lightning speed.

Dong Tian's playful expression froze for a moment. He hadn't expected Xiahou Chan's sudden attack, and he certainly hadn't anticipated Xiahou Chan's extreme explosive power.

The sudden outburst left him with injuries before he could even react.

Anger flashed across Dong Tian's face. This was his proud physique! It was the foundation of his dominance in the Garden!

"Good, very good, Xiahou Chan, you've succeeded! You've successfully enraged me!"

Dong Tian's eight arms stretched out, and a weapon dripping with foul liquid materialized from each fist.

Xiahou Chan's face was full of disgust. Amo gripped the long knife in his hand tightly, Xiaohe He's disgusted voice echoed in Amo's mind.

" Amo, he stinks! And he looks disgusting!"

The cloak materialized into a mask and was placed on the lower half of Amo's face, instantly isolating him from the stench. Amo, who was feeling dizzy from the stench, regained his senses and said thank you.
