The Water God Sect's attack on Yangshan's ice wall is underway, but their progress is hampered by the cold weather. Meanwhile, Han Tai reveals he has spread a plague, expecting Yangshan's defenses to fall. As the Water God Sect regroups, the Earth Mother Sect arrives, led by Forest Bishop Lin Tianci, who uses powerful earth-based attacks to breach the ice wall. Lin Tianci engages Zhao Kai, the Ice King, but is interrupted by the Gospel President's sonic attacks. Overwhelmed and facing multiple powerful enemies, Zhao Kai signals for reinforcements.
The Earth Mother Sect had long been monitoring the situation at Yangshan. It was known that the two most powerful individuals at Yangshan were the Space King, Li Qinghua, and the Ice King, Zhao Kai. However, upon encountering Zhao Kai today, he was found to possess a mere 74 Points in his main attribute, a fact that elicited incredulous smirks from them. "Oh, I nearly forgot, your Master of Yang Mountain, Liang Yuan, has returned, hasn’t he?" Chairman Qi Hongwen remarked with a light chuckle. At that very moment, River Valley Elder He Mingzhi also arrived, smiling as he inquired, "Where is that fellow Liang? I heard he broke through 90 Points a month ago on the Dark Attribute Floating Island; his strength must have advanced considerably, no?" Lin Tianci subsequently joined them, positioning himself and the other two to surround Zhao Kai. With a contorted expression, he demanded, "Zhao Kai, where is Liang Yuan hiding?" Hate was evident on his face. Zhao Kai observed the three encircling him, responding only with a cold laugh. "Do you truly believe you have Yangshan under your control?" "Heh, cast your gaze towards the heavens." Startled by his words, the trio instinctively looked upward. A colossal shadow was rapidly descending from above. Within the void, a colossal ice layer ascended. This enormous ice sheet, spanning nearly three hundred meters, obscured the sky, casting extensive shadows. Even the disciples of the Earth Mother Sect gathered below were captivated, tilting their heads to observe. As the massive ice layer drifted into position, it cast a vast shadow across the ground. Lin Tianci furrowed his brow; he sensed no particular threat emanating from the ice layer. It appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary piece of ice, albeit of unusual size. Qi Hongwen and He Mingzhi also appeared astonished, their gazes fixed on the massive ice block above, before quickly shifting to Zhao Kai. "You—" Qi Hongwen began to speak but his expression suddenly shifted dramatically. Witnessing the encroaching shadow, Zhao Kai presented a peculiar smile and vanished into the darkness before their very eyes. Simultaneously, all three felt the ambient light rapidly diminish. The surroundings seemed to plunge instantaneously into a world of darkness. "Not good!" "Something is amiss!" "Quickly, retreat!" The three reacted almost in unison, desperately attempting to withdraw from the area. However, just as they were about to move, their expressions turned grim. All three sensed an utter void of superpower energy in the surrounding air! They attempted to activate their superpowers but found themselves incapable of mobilizing the energy within their bodies! Qi Hongwen, catching a glimpse from his peripheral vision, realized that not only were they ensnared within the shadow, but countless disciples of the Earth Mother Sect beneath the floating ice shadow were also reduced to flat silhouettes, disappearing into it. Lin Tianci was seized by horror, frantically turning his head, his pupils constricting rapidly. He beheld a towering figure standing atop the floating ice block. This individual exuded a terrifying aura, with potent superpower fluctuations radiating from their body. Darkness permeated the vicinity, and formidable dark attribute energy spread across hundreds of meters. From a distance, it resembled the gaping maw of a dark abyss, consuming all in its path! [Dark Abyss Mouth]! This was the innate ability possessed by Liang Yuan’s dark attribute genetic species! It could create an entrance to the shadow world, allowing shadows anywhere to become a portal! Now, with the immense ice layer suspended in the void, he had conjured vast shadows that enveloped the entire battlefield. In a swift maneuver, all superpower users caught within the shadow were yanked into the shadow world by the [Dark Abyss Mouth]! Even the formidable Earth Mother Sect powerhouses, whose main attributes reached 90 Points, were utterly defenseless! With a single glance, the [Dark Abyss Mouth] had drawn them all inside. From the assembled crowd below, Fang Hao, the Desert Watcher of the Earth Mother Sect, witnessed this spectacle, his face paling to the color of snow. "Shadow World! He has mastered the Shadow World!" Fang Hao cried out in disbelief and terror, as if reliving the experience of being on that very floating island, once again engulfed by that terrifying shadow world. Without a second thought, he turned to flee. From the outset, he had refrained from hasty action; even if Lin Tianci, He Mingzhi, and Qi Hongwen had combined their strength, they would have undoubtedly been able to suppress Zhao Kai. Fang Hao had not intervened; he was awaiting the action of Yang Mountain’s Master, Liang Yuan. He had always harbored a suspicion that if one managed to escape from that floating island, then the individual responsible could not be ordinary. Yet, he had not anticipated such a devastating display of power! He barely had time to escape before he was swiftly consumed by the shadow cast by the ice block overhead. Then, buffeted by terrifying dark attribute energy, his body was uncontrollably pulled into the shadow world. Within this realm, unless one's spiritual power surpassed Liang Yuan’s, succumbing to the engulfment by the [Dark Abyss Mouth] was an unavoidable fate. Furthermore, this method of absorption employed by the Dark Abyss Mouth made no distinction between friend or foe.

Not only were the members of the Earth Mother Sect pulled into the Shadow World, but Zhao Kai and his team found themselves drawn in as well.

However, Zhao Kai’s team had been thoroughly prepared, emerging from the shadow world one by one.

Led by Wu Ying, accompanied by two or three other dark attribute superpower users.

Wu Ying's aura had undergone a dramatic transformation; with dark attribute energy swirling around him, he had successfully condensed the genetic species!

With Liang Yuan’s assistance, his Points had reached 50, finally forming the genetic species.

Upon his sudden appearance, he quickly urged, "Brother Kai, take your people and follow me immediately. I will get you out."

Zhao Kai nodded instantly without a word, "Alright."

Without wasting any time, he swiftly led the Meishan people, following Wu Ying to quickly exit the area.

In the distance, the Earth Mother Sect personnel were still in disarray. Suddenly, Fang Hao noticed Zhao Kai retreating with his group.

He immediately shouted, "Quick, follow them! We can only escape by staying close behind them!"

Lin Tianci, Qi Hongwen, and He Mingzhi rushed towards the Yangshan people without hesitation.

However, just as the pair had taken a few steps, a dark shadow materialized beside He Mingzhi.

"You—ah!"

He Mingzhi had no time to react as the figure opposite him skillfully opened their hand and lunged forward.

The dark shadow blurred past He Mingzhi’s shoulder, and with a shadow blade, instantly severed one of his arms!

This was the world of shadows, where attacks were not supposed to be executed so easily.

But the newcomer was no ordinary superpower user; they were a dark attribute superpower user!

This individual was Chen Guangming, one of the two new apprentices Wu Ying had nurtured.

Further away, another dark shadow was assaulting other Earth Mother Sect personnel; this one was named Yin Jiuyue.

Both were dark attribute superpower users, with their primary attributes barely exceeding twenty points.

Outside, such strength would render them insignificant, constantly at risk of being crushed.

However, within the shadow world, they transformed into abyssal monsters, appearing and vanishing without a trace, striking invisibly.

He Mingzhi, a River Valley Elder of the Earth Mother Sect, a superpower user with a primary attribute as high as 93 points.

Yet, in a single face-to-face encounter, he was powerless to resist and had his arm severed by Chen Guangming!

A piercing scream tore from He Mingzhi’s throat.

He gasped in terror, "No, this is bad! They are dark attribute superpower users, they can use their superpowers!"

The surrounding Earth Mother Sect personnel heard this and retreated in panic, hastily putting distance between themselves and the encroaching shadows.

Chen Guangming let out a hearty laugh, "River Valley Elder, is it? Just now, outside, I heard you were all full of yourselves."

"Didn't you question Captain Zhao if Yangshan had other people? Hahaha, you don't need anyone else; I alone can take your dog head."

Swipe!

His figure flickered within the shadows, reappearing directly in front of He Mingzhi.

Thud!

Another shadow blade, unseen and intangible, instantly bisected He Mingzhi’s head.

In a flash, He Mingzhi’s head was split in two.

The scream abruptly ceased, his body tumbling down, dissolving into shadows, and falling to the ground.

In the distance, Lin Tianci, Qi Hongwen, and Fang Hao witnessed this scene, their faces filled with disbelief as they gasped in shock.

"The River Valley Elder… died just like that?"

"No, impossible! He Mingzhi is a master with a primary attribute of 93 points; how could he be killed so easily?" Qi Hongwen exclaimed, utterly incredulous.

Fang Hao grasped the true horror of this shadow space better than anyone.

He urgently stated, "Stop babbling! This is the shadow space, a two-dimensional world. Only shadows can move freely; all other powers are restricted unless dark attribute energy and spiritual power are employed."

"If you don't wish to perish, quickly follow the Yangshan group. Do not let them leave you behind."

"If we cannot get out, neither can they. They must have someone outside providing cover for their escape."

"Only by trailing them do we stand a chance of departing this place."

He roared, frantically sprinting towards the Meishan contingent.

Lin Tianci hurried after him, cursing, "Damn it! How can such terrifying powers exist? What kind of lousy superpower is this?!"

Fang Hao did not look back, "It's Liang Yuan! It must be him. He must have acquired something on the Dark Attribute Floating Island, likely refining the Heart Core of that island to command these abilities!"

"Fang Hao, you escaped from that Floating Island; you have experience. Quickly tell us, what is the way to escape this hellish place, or we are all doomed!" Qi Hongwen hastily pleaded.

Lin Tianci chimed in urgently, "Yes, yes, Fang Hao, how did you manage to get out previously?"

Fang Hao, upon hearing this, promptly responded, "My escape was purely a matter of luck."

"Someone was engaged in a battle back then, shattering that shadow world, which allowed me to seize the opportunity and break free."

"You know Deng Ze from the Water God Sect, right? He hasn't managed to escape yet; he's probably already met his end within that shadow world."

"Damn it, how could this happen? That Liang Yuan, how could he be so incredibly powerful!" Lin Tianci couldn't help but exclaim in frustration.

Qi Hongwen, overhearing this, couldn't restrain himself and furiously retorted, "Lin Tianci, your judgment is clouded by hatred."

"Lin Guangqun was your father; Liang Yuan killed him, and yet you insisted on leading us here to our deaths. Damn it!"

Lin Tianci, hearing these words, immediately exploded with anger, spun around, and cursed, "You piece of shit, blaming me, I—ah!"

Before he could even finish his sentence, a shadowy figure materialized behind him without warning, followed by the swift glint of an arrow slicing through the air, aimed directly at his head.

An arrow immediately pierced Lin Tianci's mouth.

The entire person let out a piercing scream.

In the very next moment, a graceful figure flashed forward in a rapid assault; with a sharp sound, a blade forged from dark shadow energy directly severed his head!

The newcomer contemptuously kicked Lin Tianci's shadowy corpse aside, sneering, "So, your father was the beast who destroyed my home previously. Killing you with my own hands today at least avenges Junjun and the others!"

Her voice carried a chilling coldness, yet it sounded surprisingly young.

However, both Fang Hao and Qi Hongwen felt an icy dread creep down their spines, utterly terrified.

"Run!"

The two men dared not concern themselves with Lin Tianci's fate, desperately fleeing for their lives.

Before long, the pair spotted Zhao Kai and others ahead, who were being swiftly ushered through a glowing rift under the guidance of a shadow.

Witnessing this, Qi Hongwen and Fang Hao's eyes immediately welled up with a desperate intensity.

"It's the rift's exit; we can escape by going through there!"

"Quick, rush over! Once we get close to the exit, we might be able to sense the superpower energy of other attributes from the outside and utilize our own superpowers," Fang Hao exclaimed ecstatically, immediately shouting to rally the disciples from the Earth Mother Sect following behind.

Only by having more people with them would they stand a chance of breaking through.
