If heaven and earth were to collapse and radiance were to emerge, boundless power would surge forth without end. In the instant their figures raced across the sky, that terrifying force continued to spread, while golden dragon claws and dreadful sword intent displayed astonishing might.

Following their gazes and accompanying their hand seals, everyone between heaven and earth watched it all unfold. As the seal in Zihan’s hands solidified, power from all four directions of the firmament surged forth. Strands of radiance interwove and shifted, while at that very moment five-colored light rose and spiraled around Zihan.

Most importantly, the two great factions still had no idea how powerful Black Mountain truly was. They merely assumed that the struggle between their two sides had created the opponent’s strength.

The Netherworld and the Immortal Realm could no longer communicate with each other. Ancient figures such as Li Bai, Bai Juyi, and Tao Yuanming had all been dead for more than a thousand years.

Do not be fooled by Su Yumei’s lack of strength. Her theoretical foundation was exceptionally solid. Even Jiang Yuxuan, despite possessing memories from his former life as a cheat, found Su Yumei’s theories of martial arts fresh and highly illuminating.

“At midnight, yin energy is at its strongest, which is precisely when it is most favorable for ghosts to be reincarnated,” Jiang Yuxuan continued, spinning one wild tale after another.

As the radiance danced through the air, everyone watched the scene before them. The moment Zihan raised his hand, the five-seal mark began to circulate. A streak of light coiled around his five fingers, carrying the will of destruction, as though it could obliterate the mark in the very next instant.

At that moment, a treasure spirit appeared in the air—a gigantic hammer. The spiritual power of all those people poured into it, and the hammer swung down with tremendous force toward Chu Tian.

After coming to his senses, Ma Yu quickly sprang into action. Excitedly, he walked up to the stone and rubbed his hands together, as though the one-hour limit Leng Yuan had set was already a thing of the past, and he needed only half an hour to finish it.

Bai Huan halted and, caught completely off guard, slapped the Third Prince across the face. The Third Prince was struck senseless and stared at Bai Huan in disbelief.

Under the torment of hunger and cold, Deng Mian awoke. He kept swallowing, trying to ease the burning sensation in his throat.

Baili Nuyun looked up. Zhou Minxin was pointing toward a wooden gate ten feet high, beside which grew a crabapple tree. It was the rear entrance, yet a remarkably beautiful carriage stood outside. A burly coachman sat atop it, gripping a whip in his hand. He looked very much like a rough vagabond from the martial world, his saber still sheathed.

Wang Xiu had not come alone, nor did he harbor any notion of turning the tide single-handedly. I hurriedly raised my left hand and thrust my index finger heavily into the empty air. Lan Ya’s current mental state was truly troubling; if things continued, he might lose control and go berserk, dragging even his own senior into the enemy’s grasp and working himself to death.

Du Tianya had clearly not expected her to ask so bluntly how she had met the man beside her. For two people meeting for the first time, such a question was plainly discourteous.

The moment these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned. As they drew sharp breaths, they all turned to look at Wu Yao.

In the Eastern Qi, Emperor Wushun was extraordinarily filial. Although the Empress Dowager did not interfere in the affairs of the imperial harem, Emperor Wushun would never disregard a word from her.

Having succeeded with Shanyuan’s method, they were now ready to formally begin deriving their own paths to enlightenment.

Even so, some people still chose the path of body cultivation. Before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, within the same realm and in a head-on battle, no body cultivator had an equal aside from those possessing extraordinary spiritual roots or single spiritual roots of the metal or fire attributes.

A coin that had originally rested in Second Grandpa’s aged palm suddenly rose into the air and slowly drifted toward the rear courtyard.

His enormous body transformed into a giant shrimp in midair. It then fell like a meteor, bounced several times upon striking the ground, and finally came to a stop, utterly motionless.

Although the island nation had deployed only its First Combat Brigade in this battle, that brigade possessed an ample reserve of combat strength.

Of course, Tianlan did not want to watch him die before her eyes. But then again, how could Polie want that any more than she did?

President Tang naturally had no way to answer Mu Chen. He did not even know what was happening at that very moment. Mu Chen swiftly opened the trunk, threw President Tang inside, shut the lid, and only then returned to the driver’s seat to start the car.

Sharp sword qi swept toward the shrimp soldiers and crab generals charging at them. Like a hot knife slicing through butter, it reduced them to pieces in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, a dragon’s roar shook the heavens. Ten feet of green radiance transformed into a sword light that seemed to pierce the sky, carrying unrivaled might as it slashed horizontally down toward Han Ji.

At that instant, countless blasts of astral wind erupted across the region, becoming a violent gale that swept in every direction.

The ghosts who had regained their reason fell to their knees one after another, thanking Hui Le for his great kindness. Streaks of golden light flew from their bodies and surged into the Buddhist radiance surrounding Hui Le. Then a white glow appeared around each ghost. When the light faded, the ghosts had vanished as well, entering the Netherworld to be reincarnated.

When Li Qingluo’s maid saw the scene, she said, “My mistress has arrived. Aren’t you going to rise?”

But the lives of Li Lianying and the other man were still in his hands. At first, she had refused to believe it and had even considered using various methods to capture Ye Tian.

But given the current situation, they might still have to abduct Tina and use her to exchange for Graydem.

At the wrap party that evening, Qin was the first to leave. There was no helping it; her schedule was too tight, and she still had to return to prepare her performance for the Spring Festival Gala.

“We eat garbage and live like filthy parasites, yet every day we laugh and rejoice, never knowing what sorrow tastes like.

Several breaths later, the seawater still roared and thundered. The endless tide returned to the Western Sea, the night withdrew, and daylight reappeared, as though everything had returned to the beginning.
