As night fell, swarms of camera drones appeared in the cities surrounding the Kunlun Mountains and quietly flew deep into the range.
Some hovered in midair.
Some landed on rocky outcrops.
Others dropped smart cameras, suspending them from ancient trees throughout the mountain forests.
Countless users continuously uploaded footage from all across the Kunlun Mountains to the internet.
Everyone watched with anticipation.
At the same time, they silently prayed.
Until just before eleven o’clock, everything remained calm.
Unnaturally calm.
By all rights, Su Yuanshan had been given plenty of opportunities to strike. He could even have crushed their plans before they began.
Yet Su Yuanshan had done nothing.
He had simply allowed them to make every possible preparation.
And the more he behaved this way, the more uneasy Chen Feng became.
Feng Tengyun spoke calmly.
“This is the absolute confidence that comes with overwhelming strength.”
“Perhaps Su Yuanshan never considered us worth his attention in the first place.”
And the truth was exactly as he had said.
At that very moment, Su Yuanshan was seated atop a mountain peak, watching everything with keen interest.
After listening to his subordinate’s report, he slowly raised a hand.
“Quite a few people have come.”
“I wonder how many moves they can force me to use.”
He pointed his palm toward the dark clouds in the south.
The Great Art of Star Absorption silently activated.
The storm clouds that had been hundreds of miles away began racing toward the Kunlun Mountains.
...
As eleven o’clock approached, Feng Tengyun immediately instructed Chen Feng to give the order for the entire force to advance.
Chen Feng pressed his palms together.
A colossal purple figure, tens of thousands of feet tall, instantly rose between heaven and earth.
It had a dragon’s head and a human body, with four arms.
Its entire form was covered in scales, and a pair of enormous horns grew from its head.
“Prepare yourselves!”
“Enter Kunlun and open the stone sarcophagus!”
His mighty roar reverberated across heaven and earth.
Far away in Tiandu, Yin Hu received the signal as well.
“It’s been a long time since I fought a human Martial God!”
“I wonder how this one compares to Gu Sanliang!”
Yin Hu finished the last roasted suckling pig, then leaped high into the sky.
A thunderous roar shook the hearts of all who heard it.
An enormous white tiger with crimson markings appeared beneath the heavens.
Yet there was a massive hollow cavity in the tiger’s abdomen.
“Good luck, Ancestor!” Wang Hao shouted before scrambling off to find somewhere to hide.
Yin Hu instantly transformed into a streak of light and shot toward the Kunlun Mountains.
The commotion she caused was immense.
Nearly every resident of Tiandu heard that deafening tiger’s roar.
“So the monster supported by the Martial Arts Association really is joining the fight.”
“She was the lover of Great Xia’s hero. Of course she would help.”
“Yin Hu is incredibly powerful. She should be able to hold Su Yuanshan back, right?”
“Who knows? All we can do is pray that they succeed.”
...
Before long, Yin Hu appeared in the skies above the Kunlun Mountains.
Chen Feng also leaped into the air.
When the man and the tiger appeared before everyone, a wave of cheers immediately erupted.
Yin Hu glanced at Chen Feng beside her and curled her lip.
“Are you really up to this?”
“Didn’t he send you flying with a casual slap?”
“Are you here just to drag me down?”
Chen Feng did not argue.
Instead, he replied calmly, “If you’re injured later and need to devour my body, just say the word.”
“As long as we can hold Su Yuanshan back and buy everyone enough time to open the stone sarcophagus, that’s all that matters.”
“If we really can’t beat him in the end, then run!”
Chen Feng had already prepared himself for the worst.
The corners of Yin Hu’s lips curled upward.
“So, you’re prepared to die.”
“But I, Yin Hu, am not so easily bullied.”
As she spoke, she glanced toward the Four Symbols Heavenly Chasm.
An enigmatic smile appeared on her face.
...
Su Yuanshan slowly ascended into the sky as well.
Gazing at the lone man and tiger in the distant heavens, he could not help but sneer.
“Quite an imposing presence!”
“Let’s hope you don’t end up crying later!”
The battle was on the verge of erupting.
Yin Hu charged at Su Yuanshan first.
Her formidable tiger baleforce manifested around her as the phantom of a great tiger.
Chen Feng followed close behind.
He did not recklessly charge straight at Su Yuanshan.
Instead, he stayed behind Yin Hu.
Chen Feng understood his role perfectly.
He was Yin Hu’s reserve food supply.
As helpless as that sounded, it was the greatest contribution he could currently make.
As Yin Hu and Chen Feng made their move, several Martial Saints from the Great Xia Martial Arts Association also launched their charge.
Behind them came those who had volunteered to open the stone coffins.
They poured into the Kunlun Mountains in a dense, seemingly endless tide.
But before long, Feng Tengyun, who was mixed in with the crowd, sensed that something was wrong.
The battle they had expected never happened.
They did not encounter a single member of the Swallowing Heaven Club.
Nor did they run into any of Su Yuanshan’s subordinates.
...
Looking down at the countless lights below, Su Yuanshan’s smile grew even wider.
“Quite a lot of people have come to throw their lives away!”
He then raised his head and thrust a palm at the charging Yin Hu.
A colossal palm projection formed from frigid energy and swept forward, blotting out the sky.
Everywhere it passed, the moisture in the air instantly froze into ice crystals.
The Divine Ice Palm coated Yin Hu’s entire body in frost.
Her tiger baleforce, however, withstood the bone-piercing cold.
At the same time, she raked her claws toward the hand Su Yuanshan had used to strike.
Several streaks of light lingered in the air behind her claws.
They moved so quickly that sparks flared between them from the friction.
Her strike shattered Su Yuanshan’s palm projection outright.
The tremendous force even made Su Yuanshan take a step back.
“You’re rather strong!”
Seeing how casually Su Yuanshan had blocked her claw, Yin Hu snorted.
“I have your son-in-law to thank for teaching me so well!”
Her Dragon Elephant Prajna Art had now reached the thirteenth level.
More than a decade had passed since she climbed out of White Tiger Abyss.
Although her progress had not been as rapid as the Flood Dragon’s, she had long since reached the realm of Unity between Heaven and Man.
She simply had few opportunities to fight and was usually too busy eating.
Otherwise, her cultivation might have risen even higher.
Even so, reaching the thirteenth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art had granted her an enormous increase in strength.
At the mention of Chen Feng, Su Yuanshan could not help feeling curious.
He had never heard of a single one of his son-in-law’s martial arts.
Even after spending more than ten thousand years in the Netherworld, he had never seen anyone use the techniques Chen Feng possessed.
There was only one practitioner he had heard of.
But that person had been Chen Feng’s deceased disciple—
an insignificant character who had merely caused a few minor ripples.
Su Yuanshan could not help wondering whether Chen Feng had created these martial arts himself.
After all, apart from Chen Feng’s techniques, every martial art in the mortal world had countless practitioners in the Netherworld.
He had encountered many people who used techniques such as the Star-Absorbing Art and the Divine Ice Palm.
Their cultivation had simply been too low, leaving them powerless before him.
The Netherworld also contained every manner of long-lost martial art.
Su Yuanshan had even encountered several founders of renowned cultivation techniques.
But the techniques Chen Feng employed were ones he had never so much as heard of.
Su Yuanshan watched as Yin Hu opened her jaws and prepared to pounce.
He immediately unleashed the Star-Absorbing Art.
He had no intention of letting a demon with Taotie blood take a bite out of him.
The sudden pull caused Yin Hu to lose control of her body for a split second.
Just as she tried to resist, the force of attraction abruptly turned into a repulsive force.
It was as though she had slammed into an invisible wall. Her movements instantly became sluggish.
Even exerting all her strength, she could only inch forward, her speed drastically reduced.
Then, without warning, the repulsive force became an irresistible pull once more.
Caught completely off guard, Yin Hu stumbled mid-charge and hurtled uncontrollably toward Su Yuanshan’s outstretched palm.
“I’ve got you now, little kitty!”

At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation.
