At that very moment, a tremendously thick bolt of lightning tore down from the sky, striking the (Underworld General) dead center. It was the little dragon, supporting Mo Han, who had unleashed the advanced magic he had been preparing the instant he saw the charging toward them.

Under the assault of the lightning, the ’s body shuddered to an abrupt halt. Guang Huo and the others seized this fleeting opportunity, closing ranks around him once more, clinging tightly to their foe.

Meanwhile, Mo Han’s spell reached its critical phase. Within the ’s ears, Mo Han’s chanting could now be clearly heard: "Even the gods of the Celestial Realm tremble in fear upon hearing Mo Han's incantation." The ’s face contorted in alarm, for he recognized these words as ancient sorcery. Only the magic of the Ancients invoked entities from both the heavens and the netherworlds, and the destructive power of any single ancient forbidden spell far surpassed that of any curse in current circulation.

The magic Mo Han was weaving now was clearly among the most potent of all ancient arts. If Mo Han were allowed to complete it, the suspected he might face utter annihilation.

Contemplating this dreadful outcome, the hesitated no longer. He let out a furious roar, and the surrounding aura of darkness surged violently—the signature technique he always reserved for battling Mo Han and Guang Huo. As expected, it took immediate effect.

The movements of Guang Huo and the others faltered under the influence of the encroaching darkness, but the ignored the minor hindrance, lunging directly toward the spellcasting Mo Han.

The little dragon, guarding Mo Han, immediately directed several more lightning strikes at the charging . However, the was now on guard, using his rapid footwork to elegantly sidestep the dragon’s attacks, quickly closing in on the Holy Light Barrier Mo Han had erected.

The dark water in his hand whipped out, trailing a wave of black luminescence as it slammed into Mo Han’s Holy Light Barrier.

Under the sustained assault of the now significantly empowered , Mo Han’s Holy Light Barrier began to shake violently. The paid it no mind, unleashing another bolt of black energy against the shimmering shield. Under this barrage of continuous attacks, the Holy Light Barrier flashed brilliantly once, and then vanished.

Just then, a beam of white light shot out from within the shattered remnants of the barrier, rocketing toward the .

It struck the ’s protective ward with perfect accuracy.

This was the spell cast by Shui Ling’er, who had been waiting patiently for this exact moment.

At such close range, and caught completely off guard, the was hit by Shui Ling’er’s magic, forcing him to stumble back several paces.

Guang Huo and the others behind him were right there to press the advantage, encircling the again as the little dragon’s lightning attacks followed hard on their heels.

Though frustrated, the found he simply could not shake off the coordinated assault by Guang Huo, the little dragon, and the others who were so thoroughly prepared. It was then that...

The abruptly sensed the magical fluctuations in the vicinity weakening suddenly. He knew this was the sign that the magical confinement was nearing its end.

With that realization, he cast all caution aside. He used his own protective shroud to forcibly absorb the combined attacks from the Four Great Elders, letting out a harsh groan of pain as he sustained injury, but he used that moment to...

Lunge violently toward Mo Han. Guang Huo and the others saw it coming, but it was already too late to intervene.

And at that very instant, Mo Han’s incantation was approaching its climax. Mo Han, sweat plastering his hair to his brow, slowly intoned the final words: "With the colossal spear of light, whose brilliance rivals the power to extinguish all things in this world..." The radiance emanating from the light spear had grown so intense it was blinding.

The grew even more frantic, closing the distance rapidly, desperate to interrupt Mo Han’s casting. At this crucial juncture, the World-Ending Divine Bow in Shui Ling’er's hands suddenly shot forth two golden beams, aimed at the . However, the made no attempt to dodge or block, enduring the impact squarely, though his body was involuntarily jolted to a momentary stop.

At that instant, Mo Han uttered a low, resonant command: "Divine Spear of Light and Shadow, annihilate all evil in this world, consigning all wickedness to final nothingness."

As Mo Han finished his words, the massive light spear instantly transformed into a single ray of light and shot toward the .

Seeing this, the tried desperately to evade, but the speed of the Divine Spear of Light and Shadow was terrifyingly fast. Furthermore, the felt a strange, ethereal force emanating from the spear—a magical tether that seemed to restrict his movement. In a mere flash, the Divine Spear of Light and Shadow struck the ’s protective shield perfectly.

That nigh-indestructible shield shattered before the spear as if it were mere paper, pierced effortlessly. The spear then drove precisely into the ’s physical form, eliciting a piercing shriek across the battlefield. The light spear had indeed pierced completely through the , leaving behind a hole the size of a bowl.

The stared at the wound in his chest with disbelief, crying out in agony, "How is this possible? How could I, defeated by a mere lowly human? Why?" Then, starting from the edges of the hole left by the Divine Spear of Light and Shadow, the ’s body began to dissolve into wisps of black vapor, vanishing into the air until his entire form was gone.

Seeing the finally defeated, Mo Han let out a long breath of relief. But as his tension broke, a wave of dizziness washed over him. Forcing himself to complete the Divine Spear of Light and Shadow spell had caused Mo Han to prematurely exhaust his last reserves of strength, and his wounds seemed to have worsened; the bindings Shui Ling’er had placed on him were already saturated with blood. Mo Han’s face had taken on a pale cast from the massive blood loss.

Shui Ling’er, noticing his state, rushed forward and caught him, allowing him to lean against her. She spoke softly, "The is finally destroyed; now you must keep your promise and not abandon yourself. I will take you back to the Holy Capital right now."

With that, she began to support him, preparing to depart.
