In the main camp of the Heavenly God Palace, the Snow Lotus Cult Master, Teng Qingshan, Li Jun, the Beast King, Pei Hao, and others watched from afar.

On the distant battlefield, a scene of carnage was unfolding.

Two Void Realm experts from Hong Tian City, riding the Six-Eared Earthworm, plunged into the Heavenly God Palace army, slaughtering soldiers indiscriminately.

Upon spotting Pei San, Li Chao, and the great monk 'Su Mengte' pursuing them on the Six-Legged Saber Cicada, the two brothers from Hong Tian City did not engage, instead leaping back onto their Six-Eared Earthworm.

Hiss-hiss~~ The Six-Eared Earthworm burrowed into the earth and vanished from the surface once more. "Pursue!" Pei San commanded, and the Six-Legged Saber Cicada, carrying the three of them, also dove beneath the ground.

High above, the Lightning Divine Eagle circled. "Eh?" Pei Hao and the Beast King’s expressions shifted. "Not good," Teng Qingshan frowned deeply.

Through his domain, Teng Qingshan clearly perceived that the Six-Eared Earthworm and the Six-Legged Saber Cicada, burrowing underground, were advancing rapidly, one behind the other.

Both creatures were structurally adept at tunneling...

yet, beneath the surface, the gap between them was noticeably widening! "The Saber Cicada's burrowing speed is inferior to that of the Six-Eared Earthworm." Teng Qingshan frowned. "This is troublesome now," the Beast King’s face also darkened. "What is it? What’s happening underground?" the Snow Lotus Cult Master anxiously asked. "Fifth Uncle, what exactly is going on?" Pei Hao frowned and shook his head. "Hu He and his demonic beast, the Saber Cicada, are a step slower underground than the Six-Eared Earthworm.

That Earthworm truly lives up to its reputation as the foremost tunneling beast in the Nine Provinces.

Its speed is astonishing.

Third Brother and the others are in deep trouble now." Indeed, they were in deep trouble.

The two Void Realm experts from Hong Tian City, '.Zou Tianchang' and 'You Shijin', using the Six-Eared Earthworm, were relentlessly launching surprise attacks on critical sectors of the Heavenly God Palace army.

For a time, this prevented the Heavenly God Palace forces from focusing entirely on annihilating the Hong Tian City Iron Cavalry. "Our Heavenly God Palace army vastly outnumbers them.

In terms of elites, we also possess troops comparable to the Hong Tian City Iron Cavalry.

Moreover, many of these Hong Tian City riders are veterans donning armor to fight," the Beast King stated grimly. "But now, with Zou Tianchang and You Shijin constantly assaulting the locations of our elite troops, our army is thrown into chaos." The victor takes the spoils, the vanquished suffers the consequences! Hong Tian City was cornered; the two Void Realm experts had clearly resolved to die, seeking only to take as many Heavenly God Palace lives as possible.

Decorum was irrelevant.

Kill! Kill! In but a moment, as the Heavenly God Palace army and the Hong Tian City Iron Cavalry violently clashed, Blood sprayed, and severed limbs littered the ground! The neighing of warhorses and the furious roars of the soldiers merged into a single cacophony.

At this point, the foremost soldiers of the Heavenly God Palace army were completely entangled with the Hong Tian City cavalry, sparking the most frenzied slaughter.

It was then that 'Zou Tianchang' and 'You Shijin', the two Void Realm experts, finally ceased their tactical maneuvers. "You little thieves of the Heavenly God Palace, hah! Want to kill us brothers? Come then!" You Shijin and Zou Tianchang’s facial veins bulged; they were both driven to a frenzy.

Whoosh! Pei San and the other two, along with the Six-Legged Saber Cicada and the Lightning Divine Eagle, converged for the assault.

When the Void Realm experts of the Heavenly God Palace and Hong Tian City finally met in direct combat, even Teng Qingshan inhaled sharply. "Truly insane," Teng Qingshan’s expression changed. "These two, You Shijin and Zou Tianchang, are simply throwing away their lives." You Shijin and Zou Tianchang deliberately avoided Pei San, instead engaging the great monk 'Su Mengke' and the Sword Sect Master 'Li Chao'.

For instance, when Li Chao thrust a sharp sword towards Zou Tianchang, Zou Tianchang countered not by blocking the blade, but by swinging his saber towards the vital points on Li Chao's face.

A life for a life! "Insanity is not surprising," the Snow Lotus Cult Master sneered coldly. "Though they struggle, they know Hong Tian City is finished! The survivors of Hong Tian City are scattered across the Nine Provinces.

Even as Void Realm experts, they dare not remain near the survivors.

Otherwise, wouldn't they be openly revealing the survivors' hiding spots?" "Therefore, both of them are doomed to die." "The life of my Eldest Brother is far more precious than theirs," the Snow Lotus Cult Master confidently watched the distant battle of the Void Realm experts. "Father is there; nothing will go wrong." The combat speed of Void Realm experts was far too rapid.

In the time it took Teng Qingshan to speak a few sentences, thousands of exchanges had already occurred.

The residual energies alone turned the surrounding area into a death zone, shrouded in smoke and dust, daring no soldier to approach.

Occasionally, stray, sharp blades of sword light or saber light would fly out of that area, hitting a few soldiers. "Bad!" "Bad!" Pei Hao and the Beast King shouted in simultaneous shock, and Teng Qingshan’s face also changed drastically.

In the distance— The Sword Sect Master 'Li Chao’s' strike pierced through a connecting seam in the waist area of Zou Tianchang's Divine Armor.

Even though the Divine Armor was initially based on refined armaments, it was only transformed by Void Cave experts refining it with World Power over long years.

But structurally and visually, it remained like ordinary armor.

It still had seams. "Aaaah~~" Zou Tianchang roared, maniacally throwing his arms around Li Chao's right arm, holding on tight. "Get off!" Li Chao kicked Zou Tianchang forcefully, and the Divine Sword in his hand flared brightly, having already incinerated Zou Tianchang’s internal organs.

However, a Void Realm expert, even with life force extinguished, could cling on for a short while longer through the control of the 'Divine Self'. "Die!" You Shijin, clad in scarlet Divine Armor and wielding a twin mace, took the cost of taking a full blow from the great monk 'Su Mengte's' iron pestle, seizing this golden opportunity to swing both maces simultaneously at Li Chao’s head. "Whoosh!" A streak of light shot out from Pei San's hand towards You Shijin. "Ah Chao!" Pei San’s face was anxious, but his speed was merely equivalent to that of an average Void Realm expert. "Clang!" One iron mace was directly knocked away by the streak of light. "Boom!" A bolt of lightning from the Lightning Divine Eagle also struck You Shijin.

You Shijin relied on his Divine Armor to endure the hit, swinging his other iron mace.

Seeing that Li Chao could not evade, he brought it crashing down.

Li Chao’s only choice was—to throw his left arm up to block this terrifying attack. "Boom!" You Shijin, like a madman, brought his iron mace down furiously onto Li Chao's left arm almost instantaneously.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! You Shijin struck six times in rapid succession, sometimes vertical, sometimes horizontal—finding any way possible to kill Li Chao.

Li Chao, hampered by Zou Tianchang tightly gripping his right arm, struggled to use his left arm to block one mace strike after another.

Under normal circumstances, Li Chao’s left arm would likely have been smashed to pieces by one blow, and his head destroyed by the second.

Fortunately, Li Chao was wearing Divine Armor.

Although You Shijin was frenzied, the effectiveness of the Divine Armor was exceptional! Even though the bones in Li Chao’s left arm were completely pulverized by the full-force enraged strikes of a Void Realm expert, the Divine Armor only dented and did not crack.

But judging by the depth of the dents, it was clear...

Li Chao's left arm was completely crippled. "Ah Chao!" "Li Chao." Pei San and the Heavenly God 'Su Mengte' rushed over.

Swish! Swish! Zou Tianchang and You Shijin simultaneously retreated rapidly. "Tianchang!" You Shijin embraced his brother.

Zou Tianchang's eyes were growing dim, but he forced a grin, a hoarse voice emerging with gurgling blood. "Big Brother, what a pity, we didn't kill even one." As soon as he finished speaking, Zou Tianchang's eyes lost all light.

The Void Realm expert 'Zou Tianchang' was dead! His internal organs had long been pulverized; only as a Void Realm expert had he managed to hold on.

What seemed slow in telling happened extremely quickly! From the moment Li Chao’s sword pierced Zou Tianchang’s Divine Armor seam, to Li Chao having his left arm smashed, to Zou Tianchang and You Shijin retreating—it took less than a breath of time.

The exchanges between Void Realm experts were simply too fast. "Ah Chao, Ah Chao," Pei San clutched Li Chao’s left arm. "This..." "Master, the arm is gone," Li Chao grit out, watching as severed hand parts, broken bone fragments, and shredded flesh oozed out from the arm plating.

The armor on that arm was so severely dented it was unrecognizable; a normal person’s arm could not possibly be worn in it.

Pei San erupted in a fury unprecedented before, his face grim.

Boom! Pei San shrieked, and the Lightning Divine Eagle in the sky simultaneously dove down upon You Shijin, who was holding his brother's corpse. "Roar~~" You Shijin managed only a roar—the only sound he had mastered, the call to summon the Six-Eared Earthworm.

Underground, the Six-Eared Earthworm rapidly burst from the soil.

But at that moment, the Lightning Divine Eagle swooped down first upon You Shijin.

A continuous barrage of cyan-white lightning lashed down.

You Shijin kept his head bowed, using his blood-red Divine Armor to forcefully endure the electricity.

The Lightning Divine Eagle seemed enraged, issuing a fierce cry before sending a pure white bolt down directly onto You Shijin’s head.

After unleashing this white lightning, the Divine Eagle appeared exhausted. "Peng!" You Shijin’s body convulsed violently, as if a common person had been electrocuted.

In that single instant, Pei San caught up. "Die!" Pei San struck out with a furious palm. "Scram!" You Shijin’s eyes were bloodshot.

He used one arm to hold his brother and swung the other iron mace towards Pei San's descending palm. "Slap!" Pei San's palm violently repelled the iron mace, and then his hand landed directly on You Shijin's chest.

Boom! You Shijin was sent flying, transforming into a streak of light in mid-air that landed on the nearby Six-Eared Earthworm.

But just as You Shijin settled onto the Earthworm’s back, the rapidly approaching Pei San roared, "Die!" Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three streaks of light shot out from Pei San’s hand.

These three streaks simultaneously pierced towards the Six-Eared Earthworm. "Roar~~" The Six-Eared Earthworm retracted its body, dodging one streak of light, and immediately began to burrow. "Puchi!" "Puchi!" Two streaks of light both struck the Six-Eared Earthworm—one hitting its back, the other piercing one of its short, scaled legs...

This elicited a painful shriek from the Earthworm.

Sensing the terror Pei San inspired, the Six-Eared Earthworm abandoned all else and violently dove underground.

Chish-chish! It vanished completely into the earth. "Pursue! That You Shijin is certainly dead after taking my palm strike.

Hurry and chase," Pei San's voice echoed to all the Void Realm experts on the Heavenly God Palace side. "Retrieve those two sets of Divine Armor!" "Saber Cicada," Pei San summoned the Six-Legged Saber Cicada.

However, the Six-Legged Saber Cicada suddenly flapped its wings and flew in the direction where Teng Qingshan was located.
