"Roar! Roar!" Perhaps due to the severe impact of that previous golden light, the Yellow Springs Cult Master knew the danger, and although it dared not act rashly, its furious, roaring bellow was enough to give me, Long Zhan, and Bai Ling splitting headaches, forcing us to grit our teeth and endure. Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the Yellow Springs Cult Master was playing golf again, launching countless boulders the size of a person, struck by its massive Yellow Springs Hammer, which whistled sharply as they flew toward Feng Qingtian and the others. Their terrifying speed caused the stones suspended in mid-air to emit a dazzling glow from the intense friction. "Hah! Half-Moon Guard!" From afar, Feng Qingtian, standing before the formation, roared, unleashing a horizontal slash that projected a colossal half-moon sword energy, fully ten meters wide and six meters high.

Unlike an ordinary crescent blade, this half-moon glowed a brilliant fiery red—undoubtedly a Blazing Fire Sword Qi. Heavens, what kind of monster is this Feng Qingtian to unleash such a monstrous Blazing Fire Sword Qi! With this level of cultivation, I doubt even my master, Jianli, could manage it. Whoosh!

The gigantic Blazing Fire Half-Moon instantly surged towards the myriad of massive stones descending from the sky. Crash! Crash! Crash!

Countless earth-shattering roars echoed; the entire underground palace seemed on the verge of collapse. The vast shower of falling boulders was pulverized by that monstrous Blazing Fire Half-Moon, scattering fragments everywhere. The surroundings instantly became scorching hot, as if we were trapped amidst the lava of a volcanic eruption. Even the air seemed to have burned away, making breathing difficult.

I never imagined that a human's Dou Qi cultivation could unleash such an aberrant ultimate move—condensing Blazing Fire Sword Qi into a crescent blade of Dou Qi for an attack, and such an enormous one at that. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't have possibly imagined it. Roar! Roar!

Roar! The enraged Yellow Springs Cult Master seemed locked in battle with them, swinging the Yellow Springs Hammer in a wild frenzy. The previously smooth ground was violently shaken into countless massive stones, which were then relentlessly swept up by the Hammer and hurled at Feng Qingtian and the others like a violent storm. The scene reminded me of the meteor shower from Asteroid Impact.

It was truly a sky-blotting rain of boulders. Oh my god! This Yellow Springs Cult Master is too despicable, using such opportunistic tactics. I truly can't fathom how Feng Qingtian and the others could possibly cope with such an outrageous assault.

But Feng Qingtian's response was equally monstrous. I have no idea where he derived that power from. I saw him swing his greatsword repeatedly, unleashing more than a dozen massive Blazing Fire Half-Moons in quick succession, sweeping towards the trajectory of the incoming boulders at astonishing speed. Crash!

Crash! Crash! A string of explosions as the giant stones shattered! Every boulder hurled at them was swept into dust by the Blazing Fire Half-Moons.

"Roar!" Perhaps the Yellow Springs Cult Master hadn't anticipated that the humans two hundred meters away would be so formidable. This only further infuriated the peerless, ferocious beast famous throughout history. With a sudden, massive leap, it held the Yellow Springs Hammer across its chest, its enormous body instantly soaring into the air above us, like an air-to-ground missile, rushing towards Feng Qingtian and the others with incredible speed. I couldn't fathom such a massive body possessing such astonishing leaping power.

In the blink of an eye, it had closed the distance by over a hundred meters. Clearly, long-range attacks were ineffective; the only remaining option was a close-quarters battle to decide the victor—this Yellow Springs Cult Master was absolutely a combat genius. "Die!" Facing the rapidly approaching Yellow Springs Cult Master, Feng Qingtian, standing ready within the light formation, showed no hesitation. He sank his stance, spread his legs, and brought his greatsword down in a diagonal slash, unleashing another giant Blazing Fire Half-Moon that shot like lightning towards the airborne Yellow Springs Cult Master.

Roar! Whoosh! With just a roar, the Yellow Springs Cult Master's massive body moved with unbelievable agility, shifting sideways mid-air. Its enormous form unbelievably traversed dozens of meters horizontally, tracing a bizarre U-shaped arc in the sky, yet its speed did not diminish.

The Yellow Springs Hammer was raised high above its head, poised to smash down from above. Ah! Danger! Bai Ling, Long Zhan, and I were struck with terror.

If this hammer connected, even if Feng Qingtian and the others were immensely powerful, they couldn't possibly survive. After all, the Yellow Springs Cult Master could smash a pit five or six meters deep and over ten meters wide with a single blow! Hah! Another fierce roar erupted!

A golden light suddenly shot out from within the light formation! It aimed straight for the chest of the Yellow Springs Cult Master in mid-air! I cannot describe how fast this golden light was. If a bullet’s speed is fast, then this golden light was that fast.

This lightning-quick golden beam slammed violently into the Yellow Springs Cult Master’s chest. Boom! A dazzling cluster of seven-colored light exploded in mid-air, followed by a colossal red silhouette rocketing backward at an astonishing speed! It crashed heavily onto the ground.

It was none other than the massive body of the Yellow Springs Cult Master. After a plume of dust rose to the sky, the colossal figure stood up again, but the scarlet cape on its back was already tattered, barely hanging on in strips, revealing the gold-red armor beneath. Clearly, that golden light had given the Cult Master a severe beating. "Roar!

Roar!" Suffering repeated setbacks enraged the Yellow Springs Cult Master beyond measure. However, when it looked at the light formation a hundred meters away, its expression turned grave. It seemed to realize that Feng Qingtian and the others were not easy foes. Only now did I get a chance to see clearly: the one who struck was Elder Xia Yun of the Xia family, standing within the light formation.

He stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Feng Qingtian now, both gripping golden Frost-Condensing Greatswords. Behind them stood Xia Ya and eight other young masters, along with seven other elders from the three major families, arranged in a strange 'W' formation. Streams of light encircled each of them. I don't know how this Thunder Formation achieved energy sharing, but with their combined strength, they were actually forcing the Yellow Springs Cult Master into such a disheveled state.

Remember, when we faced the Zhurma Cult Master, Shabaak and the Four Great Clans mobilized their elites, including over twenty elders and nearly sixty elite disciples of the younger generation, yet even that formidable lineup was stumped by Zhurma. In comparison, the coordination displayed by the eight elders and nine elite young disciples of the Azure Moon Vermilion Bird Alliance working together was far superior; they were fighting the Yellow Springs Cult Master head-to-head without yielding ground, even seemingly gaining the upper hand. If I hadn't witnessed it myself, I truly wouldn't have believed that human cultivation could push the Yellow Springs Cult Master this far. "I didn't expect them to be this strong!" Long Zhan was equally astonished.

At this moment, because of the Cult Master's previous dash for close combat, we were positioned about fifty meters behind where the Cult Master was fighting. We were temporarily safe, and this distance allowed us a clear view of the battlefield situation. "Of course. The experts of the Feng, Xia, and Han families have relied on the Thunder Formation for thousands of years to dominate the world.

This formation can amplify the power of everyone inside by many times. The strength Feng Qingtian and Elder Xia possess now is beyond our imagination. Every attack they launch is the strongest possible strike, combining the power of everyone in the formation," Bai Ling said solemnly. "If Elder Feng hadn't suddenly died in battle, the power of the Thunder Formation would be even greater." "Do they really combine everyone's power in every attack?" Long Zhan had studied formations to some extent, as he and others had practiced the Five Rings Formation and the Sea of Fire Formation to improve their cultivation.

However, those formations paled in comparison to the Thunder Formation before them. "Yes. The Thunder Formation is a massive energy field supported by the elite masters of the three families through a secret method. Everyone within it can draw upon its power, which is why every move they execute is a powerful killing blow.

Even the Yellow Springs Cult Master gains no advantage fighting them. However, mobilizing such immense energy isn't something everyone can achieve; one slip-up can cause energy chaos, which would be disastrous." "That's not something to worry about," said the Big Bald Head. "If they weren't confident enough, they wouldn't dare deploy the Thunder Formation so easily." "Let's hope so." I felt that things weren't that simple. No one truly knew how powerful the Yellow Springs Cult Master, the peerless beast renowned through the ages, truly was.

In short, I felt things were not as straightforward as they seemed, and the outcome wouldn't be known until the final moment. As we lay hidden among the rubble, discussing the situation: "Roar!" The Yellow Springs Cult Master once again launched itself toward Feng Qingtian and the others. Its massive body was like a cannonball fired from its breech, crossing the hundred-meter distance in an instant, appearing twenty meters outside the Thunder Formation. This guy, does it intend to fight head-on again?

Several of us were puzzled. "Hah!" Feng Qingtian didn't hesitate. He swept out another massive Blazing Fire Half-Moon! It was almost identical to the previous move!

The Yellow Springs Cult Master's massive body leaped up again, but compared to before, its speed was more than doubled. Indeed, the Yellow Springs Cult Master had held back some of its strength earlier, at least concerning speed. Whoosh! A golden light pierced the air, whistling as it came—a perfect sniper shot in terms of both speed and angle.

The golden light, like lightning, shot towards the Cult Master's chest—it was Xia Yun's Blazing Fire Sword Qi. "Roar!" The Yellow Springs Cult Master, still airborne, only needed a slight side-shift to dodge the golden beam, whose speed rivaled a bullet. Heavens, what kind of reflexes were those? Even I wouldn't be confident dodging that golden beam's precise strike, yet the Yellow Springs Cult Master evaded it easily.

Moreover, while dodging, its colossal body plunged down like a meteorite at terrifying speed towards Feng Qingtian. Its massive Yellow Springs Hammer also smashed down, the golden hammer swirling with astonishing energy fluctuations, making it feel as if this one blow could shatter the entire world. Ah! They're done for!

"Roar! Heaven-toppling Shield!" A muffled roar, like distant thunder, suddenly sounded. In that split second of electric light and fire, a massive shield miraculously appeared beneath the Yellow Springs Hammer! Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion shook heaven and earth. The Thunder Light Formation erupted with dazzling golden light. Surrounding rocks flew about, and terrifying shockwaves fiercely battered the surroundings. Even from afar, we were pelted by flying debris, making us cry out in distress and look utterly wretched.

Fortunately, we were all warriors, our protective Dou Qi circulating throughout our bodies, preventing us from being instantly crushed to death, but the experience was terrible. However, at this moment, we could clearly see that the one holding the shield against the Yellow Springs Cult Master’s hammer strike was Elder Han Zhao Lun of the Han family. Compared to the Cult Master's colossal five-meter height, Elder Han Zhao Lun's two-meter frame was incredibly small, yet he was currently using his massive shield to withstand the Cult Master’s thunderous blow. "Roar!

Get away!" After blocking the hammer strike, Han Zhao Lun suddenly exerted force. His horse stance was slightly forced backward by the Cult Master's terrifying impact, his body visibly bending backward. But Han Zhao Lun followed his slight retreat with a fierce stomp. His robust body, like a spring compressed to its limit, suddenly rebounded.

His posture instantly straightened, and his astonishing strength actually repelled the Yellow Springs Cult Master's massive body, sending it flying backward unexpectedly. The Cult Master crashed heavily to the ground. "Oh my goodness." I simply couldn't believe what I had seen. "Someone actually blocked the Yellow Springs Cult Master's hammer with a shield and then bounced it away." "Monsters," Long Zhan murmured.

"This Thunder Formation is too insane." "Roar!" Almost as the Yellow Springs Cult Master landed, Feng Qingtian roared again. His golden Frost-Condensing Greatsword executed a sweeping "Sweeping Thousands of Armies" maneuver, unleashing a massive Blazing Fire Half-Moon along the ground like lightning, surging towards the Cult Master. The astonishing energy fluctuations seemed to tear the very space apart. The golden Blazing Fire Half-Moon actually exhibited a bizarre distortion and deformation.

Its speed surpassed my visual reflex capabilities; I couldn't track it at all. A shockingly straight, deep groove was left in the path the half-moon traveled. Boom! Before it could rise, the Yellow Springs Cult Master was struck dead center.

Another blinding flash of light exploded, followed by an earth-shaking roar. Although we were somewhat acclimated after the previous huge noises, this blast still left us reeling and utterly miserable, feeling like our heads were about to shatter. Even with our ears tightly plugged, we couldn't block out the terrifying sound. Then, the massive body of the Yellow Springs Cult Master, amidst a tearing, mournful cry, was flung airborne like a kicked ball, rocketing upward at incredible speed.

"Roar! Blazing Fire Soul Chaser!" Xia Yun’s greatsword slashed out like lightning. Whoosh! A golden light pierced the air, whistling away, targeting the Yellow Springs Cult Master descending in mid-air!

Thump! The Yellow Springs Cult Master in the air could not evade it. A bloody hole suddenly burst open on its chest. This strike was unbelievably sharp, akin to the precise shooting of a sniper rifle.

The terrifying penetration power pierced a fist-sized hole through the Cult Master's chest. Clearly, Xia Yun had been ready and waiting for this precise moment. Splurt! A streak of scarlet traced a bizarre arc as the Yellow Springs Cult Master’s massive body fell towards the ground.

Whoosh! But before the Cult Master could hit the ground, Feng Qingtian unleashed a second giant Blazing Fire Half-Moon, sweeping towards it. Boom! The Yellow Springs Cult Master was hit dead center again, bounced back a full fifty meters!

It then crashed heavily onto the ground. If Xia Yun's Blazing Fire Soul Chaser excelled in terrifying penetration, then Feng Qingtian's giant Blazing Fire Half-Moon was characterized by its horrifying impact force. Struck, the Cult Master was involuntarily thrown, tracing a parabolic arc like a powerfully kicked football, soaring backward. This chain of sword energy attacks took place in less than three seconds.

However, it inflicted massive damage on the Yellow Springs Cult Master. At the very least, the blood ceaselessly oozing from the hole in its body told us the Cult Master was severely wounded. Having landed three successful blows, Feng Qingtian and his allies did not hesitate. Another beam of golden light pierced the air, flying out.

Based on my unique perception of speed, I instantly recognized this target was the Cult Master's vital throat area. It was hard to imagine how Xia Yun's Blazing Fire Sword Qi could be so precise from such a distance; this was far beyond my imagination. Roar! The Yellow Springs Cult Master, still flying backward, suddenly let out a muffled roar, and a strange cluster of seven-colored flowing light burst from its body.

Bang! The incoming golden light was actually repelled, shooting towards a nearby cave wall, then blasting a fist-sized, smoke-billowing hole through it. My god! What terrifying penetrating power.

But the strange ball of light the Yellow Springs Cult Master emitted was even more shocking; it actually repelled the incredibly powerful golden light. Not only that, but the Yellow Springs Cult Master, upon landing, showed none of the sluggishness or pain expected from a serious injury. Instead, it roared continuously, its speed exploding. With a mere preparatory step, it rushed in front of Feng Qingtian and the others.

Ah! So fast! Even with my eyesight, I could barely make out an afterimage. No one had expected the Yellow Springs Cult Master's speed to reach this level.

Roar! Feng Qingtian began a horizontal sweep, attempting to unleash another giant Blazing Fire Sword Qi, but halfway through the swing, the massive Yellow Springs Hammer, shining with a dazzling golden light like the fierce sun, appeared almost distorted in mid-air, directly in front of his chest. Even from afar, Bai Ling and I could feel the world-destroying Dou Qi fluctuations contained within that hammer strike. "Retreat quickly!" Feng Qingtian, unable to evade, immediately switched his sweep to a block, miraculously intercepting the Yellow Springs Hammer with his Frost-Condensing Greatsword.

Boom! With a single massive impact, the terrifying force blasted Feng Qingtian backward, spitting blood, sent flying along with his sword. The Yellow Springs Hammer, however, maintained its momentum, sweeping towards Xia Yun and the others. It must be admitted that Feng Qingtian's reaction was lightning-fast, but the Yellow Springs Cult Master's speed was simply ridiculous.

Not only its speed but also its power was irresistible. As Feng Qingtian was struck, Xia Yun and the others had already scattered using lightning-fast steps. Boom! Splat!

Splat! Splat! Four figures were swept by the residual Dou Qi from the Yellow Springs Hammer, flying away like broken kites. Boom!

They crashed heavily onto the ground and showed no further signs of life. The remaining members were terrified, none of them having expected the Yellow Springs Cult Master's sudden explosion of power to be this terrifying. Its speed, power, and technique seemed completely transformed. Under these circumstances, resisting was out of the question; even escape became problematic.

Ignoring everything else, they scrambled away, retreating desperately without looking back. But the Yellow Springs Cult Master, like a grim reaper seeking lives, gave them no quarter. "Run!" Elder Han Zhao Lun of the Han family swung his great shield, desperately blocking the Yellow Springs Cult Master. He was clearly trying to use his own power to hold back the rampaging Cult Master and buy time for his companions to flee.

Roar! With a furious bellow, the Yellow Springs Hammer suddenly swept out a colossal golden half-moon, an astonishing fifty meters wide and at least ten meters high. This golden half-moon chased after them like a meteor chasing the moon at terrifying speed. Han Zhao Lun, positioned at the forefront, stood no chance against this terrifying attack.

He was instantly incinerated into ash by the Blazing Fire Half-Moon. Furthermore, the dozen or so fleeing figures were also struck by the incredibly fast Blazing Fire Half-Moon; they vanished within the dazzling golden crescent before they could even cry out. "Ah! How could this be!" Bai Ling could hardly believe her eyes!

"This isn't real," the Big Bald Head said, equally horrified. "How did it suddenly get so fast?" "They are all dead," Long Zhan murmured, stunned. "It's gone mad." In that instant, I suddenly recalled playing Legend in the past. Whenever we fought major bosses like the Zhurma Cult Master, Woma Cult Master, or the Yellow Springs Cult Master, once their health neared depletion, they would suddenly go berserk, their speed and attack power instantly skyrocketing.

Many players, caught off guard, were defeated by these sudden reversals. I never expected the real Yellow Springs Cult Master to have such a sudden outburst. And Feng Qingtian and the others didn't even have a chance to run. This is too terrifying.

Is this Death? Yellow Springs? Such terrifying power?
