The Plan Begins

Heaven Dou City, the imperial palace of the Heaven and Earth Empire, which was originally the core of the Heaven Dou Empire, is now occupied by the Holy Spirit Cult. Ye Yuxuan, dressed in red, looks at the Asura God Sword and the Sea God's Heart in front of her, and stretches out her slender jade hands to stroke them in the air.

The burly Zhong Meng, transforming into a wisp of black smoke, appeared not far from Ye Yuxuan and reported somewhat frantically, "Sect Leader... Bibi Dong was pierced through the chest by Yu Tianshuang, I'm afraid..."

Ye Yuxuan was stunned at first, then her expression turned frantic. She glanced at Zhong Meng and slowly said, "The Holy Spirit Descent Plan has already begun and absolutely cannot be interrupted at this time. Although Yu Tianshuang's strength is beyond my expectations, this is only worthy of the results of my years of planning."

"You should understand what to do. You must never allow anyone to interrupt my path of the Holy Spirit's descent and the attainment of the highest truth!"

Zhong Meng nodded firmly, "Yes!" He clasped his hands in a fist salute and left the palace hall.

Outside the city, Bibi Dong stared at the huge hole in her chest, her eyes gradually dimming. At this moment, her life seemed to flash back to her in a rapid, fleeting way.

Yu Tianshuang watched Bibi Dong closed her eyes, sheathed her sword, and asked, "Do you regret it?"

Feeling that her body and Divine Power had returned to normal, Bibi Dong opened her eyes, looked at Yu Tianshuang, and said resolutely, "No regrets!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianshuang shook her head, preparing to finish her off, but suddenly a dark shadow flashed by, and a burly man appeared beside Bibi Dong. Yu Tianshuang recognized him at a glance; it was Zhong Meng, the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Zhong Meng looked at Bibi Dong with disdain and said, "Useless..."

Bibi Dong smiled but didn't speak. Yu Tianshuang didn't know what this person was planning to do here. He didn't even have the strength of a god. It seemed that the Holy Spirit Cult had really run out of tricks. They should have thought that Bibi Dong could hold them off by paying such a high price, but they didn't expect that his strength far exceeded their expectations, which is why they sent her trusted subordinate.

Yu Tianshuang, too lazy to waste words, directly unleashed a sword strike, the snow-white sword energy slashing towards Bibi Dong. At this moment, Zhong Meng, seemingly oblivious to the astonishingly powerful sword energy, pulled out a gleaming golden round crystal and crushed it. Instantly, countless golden threads burst forth from the crystal, enveloping Zhong Meng in a giant golden cocoon. As Yu Tianshuang's sword energy approached, the cocoon shot out several golden threads, blocking the sword energy in front of Zhong Meng. With each inch the sword energy advanced, countless miserable screams emanated from the broken golden threads.

"Damn it..." Upon seeing this, Yu Tianshuang knew what the golden ball was made of and couldn't help but curse under her breath. She then swung her sword again, but after the first sword energy was blocked, Zhong Meng, who had transformed into a giant golden cocoon, had completely absorbed the golden threads that wrapped around him into his body. Faced with the fierce attack, Zhong Meng's body suddenly began to swell.

The sword energy arrived and instantly cut Zhong Meng's body in two. But strangely, even though Yu Tianshuang's sword energy contained the power of ice and froze the severed cut, the golden threads still broke through and reconnected Zhong Meng 'Zhong Meng body.

After his body recovered, Zhong Meng continued to swell, and the sight was terrifying. In just a few breaths, Zhong Meng transformed into a monster over ten meters tall, with an appearance very similar to the great demon that Yu Tianshuang and Shui Bing'er had previously killed.

Bibi Dong glanced at Zhong Meng, who had completely transformed into a monster, and saw that he was still drooling. She couldn't help but mutter in disgust, "Disgusting..." Then she used her Divine Power to wrap up the wound and silently retreated to the back.

Ignoring the disgusting and terrifying monster Zhong Meng had transformed into, Yu Tianshuang drew her sword and slashed, unleashing several sword energies in succession. However, Zhong Meng's body was incredibly strange; even when hit by the sword energies, he acted as if nothing had happened. The strange golden threads possessed some unknown power, which was able to break through Yu Tianshuang's icy power and repair his body time and time again.

"Senior Sister!"

Yu Tianshuang gave Shui Bing'er a look, and the latter nodded, bypassing Zhong Meng and chasing after Bibi Dong. Zhong Meng seemed to have completely lost his mind at this moment, and only attacked Shui Bing'er who was flying over based on instinct. But as soon as he raised his hand, his hands were cut off by two snow-white sword energies.

"Roar roar roar!"

Without his hands, Zhong Meng tried to attack with his feet, but Yu Tianshuang cut them off with a single sword strike. Then, several sword energies cleaved him into pieces. Even so, the golden threads restored his body to its original state in just a few breaths. Fortunately, Shui Bing'er had already bypassed him and chased after him.

'This is really annoying... It seems that unless I completely deplete the power within those golden threads, I won't be able to deal with this monster. No wonder Ye Yuxuan sent him out to buy time...'

Bibi Dong was incredibly fast. Even though she was severely injured by Yu Tianshuang, Shui Bing'er couldn't catch up for a while. Helpless, she could only glance back at Yu Tianshuang and shout, "Don't be reckless, act according to the situation!" before accelerating to chase after Bibi Dong.

Yu Tianshuang was extremely annoyed at this moment. Watching the two streaks of blue and purple light disappear into the sky, she had no choice but to draw her sword again. She had to deal with Zhong Meng as soon as possible and could not let him drag her down for too long. She would not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Just as Yu Tianshuang placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, three enormous purple magic arrays suddenly appeared in the sky above Heaven Dou City: one on the ground, one above the city, and one above the clouds. At the same time these three giant magic arrays appeared, a purple magic array also appeared in the Balak Kingdom, which was the closest to them. Although the two were thousands of miles apart, Yu Tianshuang could still see them from the sky.

An extreme sense of unease and absurdity arose: 'Could it be that these magic arrays were set up by the Holy Spirit Cult long ago? Then, besides this place...'

Meanwhile, in the Star Luo Empire, in its capital city, Star Luo City.

Floating in mid-air, Qian Renxue looked down at Star Luo City and shook her head. "It's still the same. Whether it's a subordinate duchy or a kingdom, it's all just monsters now. I never imagined that the Star Luo Empire, which has dominated the continent for so many years, would become a dead city..."

This was her final destination after arriving in the Star Luo Empire. She originally thought the capital would be different from other places, but she didn't know that the place where the Holy Spirit Cult first appeared was Star Luo City. As Qian Renxue was feeling sentimental, a huge purple magic circle suddenly appeared in the sky above Star Luo City. The moment the magic circle appeared, those mindless, aimlessly wandering monsters were frozen in place as if they had been hit by a spell. But soon, a golden sphere appeared on their bodies and flew towards the huge magic circle in the sky.
