The Gatekeeper of the Underworld unleashed a devastating attack, but the Ghost Train, driven by Dai Sheng, used spatial abilities to evade it. As the Gatekeeper continued his assault, Zhang Yi ordered Yang Xinxin to evacuate Tianshui City, fearing its complete destruction. Meanwhile, Houtu created a wooden puppet and summoned the demon gods Black and White Impermanence, who bound the Gatekeeper with chains of fate. Houtu revealed that this was all she could do, stating that the Gatekeeper only needed to bleed once for the battle to end.

The instant Tianshui City was shrouded in mist, the elite forces of the Wuluan Empire, following close behind the Gatekeeper of the Underworld, also arrived.

Looking at the enormous fog before them, they immediately understood that humanity had prepared this in advance.

“How did they figure out that we would attack this city?”

Giant Blade Silver Armor asked, baffled.

As he spoke, he moved to charge into the fog.

But someone beside him quickly stopped him.

“This is very suspicious. Humans are extremely cunning creatures. If they’ve made such thorough preparations, they must be targeting us. Don’t go in yet!”

The Black-White Commander with the Storm ability flew forward. Facing the vast fog enveloping the entire city, he took a deep breath, then suddenly blasted out a terrifying gale!

A massive storm descended from the sky to the earth, coiling like a giant dragon before surging into the fog around Tianshui City!

Yet the fog, which should have been blown away, did not react at all.

“This isn’t ordinary mist. It’s the manifestation of an ability.”

Blood Tide Silver Armor walked over and waved his hand through the mist, only to find that it hadn’t budged in the slightest.

“Is it light?”

Giant Blade asked, “What do we do? Are we going in?”

Before he had finished speaking, a fierce attack suddenly shot through the air from far away. It was a streak of golden flame, shooting straight toward him!

“Caw!”

Giant Blade spun around and brought his blade down, cleaving the blazing-hot flame apart in midair!

The flames fell into the sea, and the water across more than a dozen miles boiled at once!

High in the distant sky, a golden crow beat its wings, its gaze fixed on Giant Blade with hatred.

On its back stood Black Emperor Chen Xuanba, arms crossed, dressed in a dark green military uniform. Killing intent surged in his eyes.

From other directions, the Transcendents of the Allied Forces, who had been waiting for this battle, all appeared!

“Excellent,” Blood Tide said quietly. “Now they’re all here! Our surprise attack has failed this time.”

Though he said this, there was no trace of urgency in his voice.

That was because their Grand Marshal was personally leading this battle! There was absolutely no chance they could fail.

Giant Blade sneered and raised the enormous curved blade in his hands.

“Just in time. They’re all here, so we don’t have to go looking for them one by one! We can wipe them all out at once.”

“Destroy a nation in one battle!”

Giant Blade lifted his curved blade and pointed it at Han Shanzuo and Chen Xuanba in the distant sky.

“Those two escaped me last time. This time, I’ll kill them with my own hands!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he flew straight toward the two of them. His deputy, the Black-White Commander Frost, followed close behind.

In the ocean, the roars of Sea Beasts rang out without pause.

Xuanwu and Cadillus stood together, watching the Sea Beast among the four Silver Armors like tigers eyeing their prey.

The Sea Beast gave a cold laugh. After being challenged by humans in such a way, he would prove with his strength in this battle that the Wuluan Tribe’s dignity could never be violated!

“Roar!”

He threw back his head and roared. The sound waves spread across the sea, forming a massive tsunami that swept outward.

Moments later, he transformed into an enormous Crimson Sea Beast. With a thunderous crash, he plunged into the ocean and charged toward Xuanwu and Cadillus with his deputy.

The two Silver Armors had chosen their opponents, while the human Transcendents tacitly drew them toward areas outside Tianshui City. Their goal was to create an opportunity for Zhang Yi and the other members of the decapitation squad to hold off the Gatekeeper of the Underworld!

Elsewhere, after Jue Guo and Luozhuo merged, they assumed the perfect form of the Lord of the Charnel Ground. Taking the form of a wrathful Vajra, they faced Smoke.

Finally, Newton and Canero lured Blood Tide to neighboring Linhai City.

The Silver Armors and their subordinates understood humanity’s intentions perfectly.

But they didn’t care in the slightest. In their eyes, mere humans daring to oppose their Grand Marshal was an incredibly foolish act!

After Silver Armor Blood Tide and Black-White Commander Nian arrived in Linhai City, they faced Newton and Canero’s team and taunted them outright:

“No matter how you resist, you can’t stop us from destroying this nation!”

“The outcome was decided long ago. Nothing can change it.”

Newton’s expression was icy. “Oh?” He pushed up his glasses, a chilling glint flashing across the lenses. “What gives you such confidence?”

“Strength! In the face of absolute strength, every scheme is meaningless.”

“To you humans, we Wuluan are like gods!”

Blood Tide raised his hand and pointed at Newton with one finger.

“Soon, you’ll understand just how laughable your actions are!”

Newton said nothing. Instead, he raised the enormous, bizarre hand cannon in his right hand.

“Sorry, but I’m an atheist!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the trigger. A terrifying force erupted from the weapon!

…

The Epsilon-class Transcendents had each chosen their opponents, but the remaining several hundred Azure Armor Transcendents were not idle either.

Looking at the vast city shrouded in fog before them, one of their captains assessed the terrain and immediately reached a decision.

“Although the enemy has created terrain like this, and it can’t harm our invincible Grand Marshal, we have to act quickly while operating on land.”

“Now, immediately clear out every area around this city! Destroy the Transcendents or devices that created this fog-covered zone.”

Among the Mist Valley forces, several hundred Transcendents with ability indexes above 9,000 were only low-ranking soldiers.

But in the human world, they were all Survey Team captain-level powerhouses!

With no Epsilon-class Transcendents intervening, they could sweep through the entire region!

At that moment, Xiao Lie appeared before them with nearly all of Huaxu Nation’s Transcendents whose ability indexes exceeded 9,000.

“We’re taking over this battlefield now!”

Xiao Lie held an enormous black gun. His cold gaze swept over all the Azure Armor warriors.

He raised the gun, aimed at the Azure Armor warriors ahead, and pulled the trigger!

With the enhancement of Metal Frenzy, even the most ordinary pistol could unleash astonishing power!

And when an Epsilon-class Transcendent appeared on a battlefield like this, it was practically a crushing mismatch!

But the slaughter they had expected never began.

Just as his attack was about to land, a colossal figure suddenly emerged from the seawater. Black light flashed, deflecting Xiao Lie’s attack.

When Xiao Lie saw the enormous figure clearly, his pupils contracted. He was so shocked he could hardly believe what he was seeing.

That immense body, that exquisitely smooth form like polished porcelain, was unmistakably Qinglong, who was rumored to have died in battle!
