Shi Wanshan was currently hiding among the distant peaks, concealing all his aura as he nervously watched the movements within the valley.
When he saw Ku Xuan's terrifying figure and the massive hand that blotted out the sky, his heart suddenly tightened, and he almost rushed down desperately to save them!
"Damn it! An undying old Saint actually came!"
Shi Wanshan clenched his fists until they cracked, every muscle in his body taut.
However, in the split second before he prepared to reveal himself, his sharp gaze caught Xiao Ruobai's expression. Not only did the kid's face show not a single trace of fear, but his eyes were burning brightly, and the battle intent around his body surged as if it were tangible!
Fang Hanyu was the same. The Taichu Sword let out a low hum, its chaotic sword intent hidden but unreleased, making it seem even more dangerous.
Ling Xi was terrifyingly calm, her eyes profound, as if she were calculating something.
Shi Wanshan's raised foot instantly halted. He blinked his large, bell-like eyes, a trace of astonishment flashing across his face, but then his tense body slowly relaxed.
"Heh... These little monsters actually dare to show such expressions when facing a Saint, even if it is a dying one? Truly newborn calves that do not fear the tiger!"
"I knew from the start that this broken token wasn't simple! Good heavens, now even an old coffin dodger who has lived for thousands of years has popped out!"
He secretly gathered his spiritual power, ready to strike at any moment of true crisis.
In the valley, facing the decaying giant hand that blotted out the sun, Xiao Ruobai did not retreat; instead, he took a step forward.
The Nine Heavens Dragon Soul Halberd erupted with dazzling golden light, and a War God avatar soared into the sky!
"Fight!"
Fang Hanyu drew the Taichu Sword, and his Primal Chaos Sword Domain instantly unfolded. The hazy grey sword qi evolved into earth, water, fire, and wind, attempting to draw that power of annihilation into the chaotic void!
Ling Xi formed hand seals, her devouring power transforming into an invisible vortex that fiercely met the boundless death aura. Her green robes fluttered wildly, and her eyes were as cold as frost!
The three joined forces to forcefully take on a Saint's strike!
"Boom!!!"
An earth-shattering explosion resounded through the clouds! A devastating energy storm swept out, and the peaks surrounding the valley collapsed like sandcastles!
Xiao Ruobai and the other two simultaneously let out muffled groans, their figures staggering backward.
Xiao Ruobai bore the brunt of the attack. His War God avatar trembled violently, his clothes tore in multiple places, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura falling into chaos.
Fang Hanyu's face turned pale as his Primal Chaos Sword Domain was forcibly shattered. Ling Xi's vitality also churned, her devouring power operating beyond its limits.
Although they were in a sorry state, they had actually managed to block this furious strike together!
"Thud!"
Fatty Wang, who was protected behind the three, had not yet managed to see the result of this heaven-shaking collision when he felt a dark shadow press down on him. Xiao Ruobai, who had been sent flying backward, landed squarely on top of him.
"Ouch! My dear big brother! You're crushing me to death!"
Fatty Wang squealed under the weight, almost passing out.
A trace of unbelievable astonishment flashed through Ku Xuan's murky eyes. His shriveled lips parted, emitting a hoarse voice, "You actually... didn't die?"
Although this strike of his was not at full strength, it still contained the laws of the Saint Dao, enough to crush any King realm cultivator!
These few Celestial Realm juniors had actually only suffered minor injuries?
Xiao Ruobai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Not only did he show no fear, but the flames of war in his eyes burned even more fiercely.
He pulled up Fatty Wang, who was grimacing under the crushing pressure, and laughed wildly: "Exhilarating! Old ghost, with this little bit of strength, did you forget to eat? You were supposed to die anyway, so let me send you to report to the King of Hell!"
As soon as these words came out, it completely infuriated Ku Xuan!
"How dare an ant defy the heavens! Die!"
Ku Xuan's shriveled body erupted with a monstrous aura of death, and the entire valley instantly transformed into a withered domain of demise! He was going to use the true laws of the Saint Dao to forcefully crush them!
"Kill!"
Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and Ling Xi had resolute looks in their eyes. Holding nothing back, they unleashed their full combat power!
The shockwaves caused by this astonishing collision far exceeded the previous ones. Like a lighthouse in the dark night, it instantly attracted the attention of all the powerhouses in the distant regions.
"Holy shit! This energy fluctuation... is even more terrifying than the self-detonation of that Quasi-Saint last time! How many days has it been since they stopped? Why are they fighting again?!"
A bewildered divine sense shuttled through the void.
"It's from that direction! It's definitely the commotion caused by those four fiends from before! My God, what kind of existence did they provoke this time?! This fluctuation... is clearly the collision of true Saint Dao laws, not the Quasi-Saint aura from before!"
Another divine sense was filled with horror.
"Just how much trouble can these four cause?! It's only been a few days! Each time is scarier than the last! Do they really pierce the heavens wherever they go?!"
Someone couldn't help but complain, their tone full of disbelief and a trace of... habitual numbness.
"Quick! Go look! This is definitely the main event of all main events!"
Some bold cultivators could no longer suppress their excitement, turning into streams of light and rushing toward the source of the fluctuation.
"Let's go together! To observe a battle of this level in person is a rare encounter in ten thousand years! It's much better than cultivating bitterly behind closed doors!"
"Wait for me! Damn it, this is practically a regular program now, happening every few days. Missing it would be a huge loss!"
Countless divine senses and figures, like sharks smelling blood, or like a crowd rushing to watch an unmissable blockbuster show, drilled out from sects, cave dwellings, and hidden places in all directions, swarming madly towards the source of the shockwaves!
Some familiar cultivators even greeted each other with their divine senses midway:
"Daoist Zhang, you came too?"
"Nonsense! How could I not come with such a huge commotion? Brother Wang, which side do you think has the upper hand this time?"
"Hard to say, hard to say... but according to the precedents of the previous times, those four little monsters are extremely bizarre. I bet they can still hold on for a while!"
"Place your bets, place your bets..."
In the valley, the great battle had completely reached a white-hot stage, escalating to the point of absolute madness!
Xiao Ruobai and the other two were bathed in blood, their battle armor shattered, but they fought more courageously as the battle progressed. Forcing their own potential to the absolute limit, they engaged in a tragic and glorious duel with a true Saint!
"Exhilarating!"
Xiao Ruobai licked the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth. Feeling the churning vitality in his body and his nearly depleted spiritual energy, not only was there no fear in his eyes, but a more blazing fire of war burned instead.
This Ku Xuan was indeed peerlessly powerful. Even though his vitality was declining and his lifespan was nearing its end, his Saint realm and mastery of laws were still like an uncrossable chasm. Every collision made Xiao Ruobai's bones feel like they were going to split and violently shook his divine soul.
"But... this is a real battle!"
He roared low in his heart, an unyielding will erupting like a volcano.
Passive defense ultimately had its limits. To truly contend, or even... tear open a sliver of survival, he had to give it his all and take the initiative to attack!
"I can't hold back anymore!"
Xiao Ruobai exchanged a glance with Fang Hanyu and Ling Xi, a tacit understanding instantly forming among the three.
"Descent of the War God, unleash!"
Xiao Ruobai suddenly let out an explosive shout that shook the nine heavens! He no longer held back, thoroughly detonating the origin power of his War God Physique!
"Boom—!"
In an instant, the void behind him violently distorted as the boundless vision of an ancient battlefield furiously unfolded!
Tattered war banners fluttered in the wind. Countless phantoms of gods and demons drifted and roared within, while the beating of war drums and the cries of slaughter seemed to echo across time and space!
A golden War God avatar, even more corporeal and majestic than before, manifested with a towering presence that seemed to prop up the heavens. Its blazing battle intent was no longer made of illusory golden flames, but had transformed into a tangible golden torrent!
The full expansion of this vision not only massively boosted Xiao Ruobai's strength and defense, but it also carried a supreme divine might capable of suppressing all evil and sheltering the masses. It forcefully carved out a War God domain right within the law domain of the Saint!
Almost simultaneously, Fang Hanyu's Chaos Splitting the Heavens vision also unleashed its full power. Chaotic sword qi evolved into primordial genesis, continuously eroding the Saint Dao laws.
Ling Xi's Heaven Swallowing, Dao Devouring vision accelerated its rotation, frantically absorbing the aura of death.
The three great visions complemented one another. Though they did not fuse into one, they formed a miraculous resonance to jointly stand against the might of the Saint!
