Meng Yuanjun orders the space-based weapon held in reserve, to be used only to aid Houtu in her critical battle. Meanwhile, Youying and Destruction Hall enter Shengjing City, slaughtering warriors and buildings. They are sensed by Houtu, who prepares to face them alone after ordering all other personnel to withdraw from the Earth God Temple and its surroundings.

Guan Longyue stood within the Earth God Temple, her pupils flickering with an eerie black light.

Even though she was separated by the great hall, she could see everything outside with perfect clarity.

Youying and Destruction Hall did not dare approach at all, instead keeping their distance and attempting long-range attacks to obliterate this mysterious existence.

The third year after the apocalypse.

In official records, Guan Longyue had only ever taken action twice.

The first time, she saved the newly established Shengjing district and killed a peerless genius who had betrayed it.

The second time, she struck at Zhang Yi from thousands of kilometers away.

So by now, her legend had grown exceedingly hazy. No one knew her true strength, and no one understood her true abilities.

Youying and Destruction Hall did not dare be careless in the slightest. Even in a two-on-one, they were extraordinarily cautious.

Youying gently raised his right hand, and by now over a hundred Shadow Giants had formed an impenetrable black wall, towering above and completely surrounding the Earth God Temple.

Youying's right hand was slender, his pallid fingers like five long chopsticks.

He faced the distant Earth God Temple and lightly snapped his fingers.

"Holy Spirit Elegy!"

The moment his voice fell, the hundred-plus massive Shadow Giants slowly opened their enormous maws toward the Earth God Temple.

Over a hundred blood-red supernatural beams condensed within their mouths, immense power converging and rapidly forming into massive orbs of supernatural energy.

These orbs grew larger and larger, turning the sky around the entire Earth God Temple crimson red. The overwhelming aura pressed down so heavily that even the surrounding air dared not emit a whimper.

Even the most biting northern wind was suppressed into dead silence, yet a deathly aura that threatened to destroy the entire central region of Shengjing City pervaded the air!

"Be destroyed!"

Youying said coldly.

Boom!

...

Almost simultaneously, over a hundred Shadow Giants shot red energy cannons that pierced through space from their mouths, and the trajectory of those hundred-plus crimson beams was aimed precisely at the Earth God Temple where Guan Longyue stood!

Guan Longyue's face showed no expression at all. She simply stood quietly at the center of the great hall.

That terrifying energy converged into one point and in an instant erupted with suffocating might!

Yet that vast and boundless energy, before it could strike the Earth God Temple, was suddenly blocked head-on by an invisible barrier!

In the sky, as the red beams spread, a transparent hemispherical barrier gradually revealed itself.

Because of this barrier's existence, Youying's Holy Spirit Elegy had no effect whatsoever!

Youying's brow furrowed immediately.

"A telekinetic barrier. This should be another Transcendent's ability from Shengjing City. Didn't he leave?"

They truly had not detected Shang Daowen's presence.

If both Shang Daowen and Guan Longyue were in Shengjing, there was no reason for them to avoid the fight. They should have chosen to protect Shengjing City from the very beginning.

But Destruction Hall saw through it.

He said, "It's an inherent barrier set up in advance using an ability. To protect Houtu, of course they would expend a great deal of effort."

"I see, is that so?"

Youying sneered. "Then all we need to do is shatter this inherent barrier!"

Destruction Hall said nothing, but his hands began condensing a massive amount of supernatural energy, directly forming an enormous energy cannon.

The most simple and pure Projection-type attack method, without any flourish.

A massive energy cannon hurtled toward the distant telekinetic barrier, crashing down like a comet striking the earth!

The energy cannon landed on the telekinetic barrier. The originally incredibly resilient barrier finally showed a crack, and as the terrifying force erupted and swept in all directions, the barrier was finally shattered by Youying and Destruction Hall!

But at that very moment, Guan Longyue, standing at the center of the Earth God Temple, slowly raised her right hand.

In her palm, she held two dolls shaped like the two men.

"Impermanence Claims Souls!"

The moment she spoke, her right hand suddenly opened, and the two dolls plummeted toward the ground.

A large shadow appeared beneath her feet. The dolls fell into the shadow, disappearing like a clay ox into the sea without raising the slightest ripple.

But soon, from within that shadow emerged two massive ghost gods!

They wore tall pointed hats, stood several zhang tall, one black and one white, holding soul-hooking chains and mourning staffs, their faces wearing expressions that seemed half-smiling and half-crying.

The instant the two ghost gods appeared, the distant Youying and Destruction Hall felt as though some kind of causality had descended upon them.

In the unseen, they seemed to have been locked onto by something.

"This is the ace of Shengjing district, Houtu's ability?"

Youying and Destruction Hall lowered their heads. They heard the sound of chains, and from the distant void, thick and long chains rapidly spread out, binding themselves around their bodies.

"Hehehe!"

"Wuwuwu!"

...

Ghostly wails echoed through the air in waves, and gray mist began shrouding the space around them, making the surrounding area resemble a ghost realm.

Despite being clearly thousands of meters away, those two massive ghost gods appeared before them in the blink of an eye.

The pressure weighing on Destruction Hall and Youying's bodies grew even stronger.

Youying directly summoned a large number of Shadow Giants to block in front of the two of them.

But Black and White Impermanence passed straight through the Shadow Giants, drifting toward them.

Destruction Hall's brow furrowed. Immediately, his palms curled like eagle claws, two powerful energy cannons condensing within his palms and roaring as they shot toward Black and White Impermanence!

But they were like phantasmal beings, completely ignoring all attacks!

After the two men's attacks proved ineffective, Black and White Impermanence had already closed in on them.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter-"

The chains rattled. The power of Causality Law could not be measured by common sense. Black and White Impermanence stood right behind them, the chains in their hands binding the two men tightly!

Only then did Youying and Destruction Hall realize that their limbs felt as heavy as a thousand jun, utterly unable to move!

The two massive ghost gods stood behind them, watching them with expressions half-smiling and half-crying.

Then the mourning staffs came crashing straight down onto their heads!

At this critical juncture of life and death, the two men did not dare be the slightest bit careless, and immediately erupted with their powerful supernatural abilities!

The Shadow Giants frantically attacked Black and White Impermanence, and Destruction Hall's body released terrifying supernatural energy from the inside out.

But none of it could stop the mourning staffs from descending.

"Bang!"

The mourning staffs struck directly onto the two men's bodies, a flash of shock crossing both their pupils.

But immediately after, Black and White Impermanence dissipated into the air.

Yet the two men's bodies plummeted straight toward the ground. Their eyes were unfocused, their faces ashen pale, feeling as though something had been extracted from their bodies.
