Night Cloud's brow furrowed slightly as he rapidly descended towards the ground, attempting to employ a delaying escape strategy, followed by using his spiritual skills to slow down the Nine-Soul Dragon Python. Darting around the Nine-Soul Dragon Python, he coldly huffed, "I admit I may not match your strength, but sadly your intelligence falls far short, you brute!"

"Arrogant brat, teaching this king a lesson is not something for the likes of you!" The Nine-Soul Dragon Python's nine heads simultaneously dripped a trace of venom, mixing together on its chest. A massive fireball, intertwined with the destructive spiritual power of undead, pressed towards Night Cloud.

Poisonous fire?! A deep green flame roared past, grazing Night Cloud's body, causing his sturdy spiritual armor to immediately contract.

Night Cloud grunted as he fell from his celestial mount, much to the delight of the Nine-Soul Dragon Python, which then condensed its spiritual power into a large palm from the air to grab Night Cloud, taunting, "Oh, seems those words you said in front of this king earlier are already forgotten, huh?"

"Cough, beasts will be beasts. No matter how cunning you are, you're nothing but a lowly creature!"

The mocking laughter once again touched the dignity of the Nine-Soul Dragon Python, as it angrily flew towards the city gates of the academy, clutching Night Cloud's head to flaunt in front of the crowd of onlookers.

"Teacher! Headmaster!"

Upon seeing the outcome, the residents let out desperate screams. Juxi's pupils constricted, and Sword Tianxin clenched his teeth fiercely, pounding the floor. He took a deep breath and dashed towards the Nine-Soul Dragon Python, attempting to rescue Night Cloud.

"Come back, we're no match for that guy!"

Juxi's draconic spirit surpassed Sword Tianxin, and with a kick, sent him tumbling to the ground after striking his knee.

"What are you doing?!"

"Calm down. Your reckless charge not only won't save the teacher, but it might not even get you back in one piece."

Chastised by Juxi, Sword Tianxin shook his head, angrily running his hands through his messy hair, "Then what should we do? We've received no response to the signal sent to the Supreme Lord. The whole academy will be destroyed in no time!"

On the ten-zhang high city gate, the Nine-Soul Dragon Python gleefully toyed with Night Cloud, then released him, letting him plummet straight to the ground, leaving a large crater upon impact.

Dying at the hands of a beast was truly humiliating, Night Cloud ruefully thought, as he struggled to move forward. With a flick of its tail, the Nine-Soul Dragon Python shook the ten-zhang high city wall and then used its tail to playfully press down on Night Cloud's body, clearly intending to beat him further.

"Still want to resist this king? Well, well, well, enough of that! You've repaid me for the humiliation; now I'll give you a quick death!"

Impatient to continue the stalemate, the Nine-Soul Dragon Python was just about to crush Night Cloud with its tail when suddenly, the space froze.

Just as the tide of battle seemed about to turn, an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy swept through the air, shrouding the entire Qingshui Mountain like a net.

"The game is over, Mr. Dragon Python."

A silver-haired old man with a beard covering his chest stood tall in mid-air, his two feet floating as a sign of extraordinary strength. Though his appearance exuded an air of aloofness, his formidable spiritual power effortlessly ensnared the mighty dragon python.

A serene azure spiritual aura permeated the entire West Coast, swiftly restoring the destroyed buildings and healing the wounded residents.

"Who are you...?"

"Run away! That man will kill you! Long Ling watched Juxi with vigilance, warning the bewildered bystander, "He will take your life; quickly flee."

"What?" Juxi was puzzled. Why was Long Ling aiding him, and why did he want to destroy the mainland?

Although he said so, Long Ling definitely didn't deceive himself, so Juxi's foot kept moving.

Seeing Long Ling's helpless expression, it seemed like he wanted to come clean, "The reason why you came to this world is because you triggered the seal of Lan. That thing is the foundation of survival for the entire continent, from the small Holy God Legion to the entire continent, and your mission is... "

"To seal Lan?"

Encountering Long Ling's low IQ interjection, Juxi raised her cold and slender jade finger, angrily tapping his forehead, "Juxi, are you really stupid or just pretending? If you seal, won't your future still be destroyed by Lan! The purpose of coming back naturally means complete destruction, destroy Lan!"

...

"Hahaha, big brother! It's been many years, let me introduce... um, where's Xi?"

After his gaze passed over everyone, the smile on Ye Yun's face froze, and his gaze swept over Sword Tianxin and everyone else, who all shrugged, wearing expressions of ignorance.

"No need to look for her, that little guy probably anticipated I would come here and stayed far away."

Ling Yizi smiled bitterly and said these inexplicable words, making everyone present dare not say a word.

"Perhaps the destruction of Lan is truly inevitable, right? It's good for that kind of extremely wicked thing to disappear."

"What are you talking about, big brother?"

"You're better off not knowing. I'm taking this spirit beast with me, and I'll fully compensate for the losses. I just hope to spare its life." Ling Yizi grabbed towards the location of the Dragon Python, and the huge dragon python was enclosed in a green barrier, continuously shrinking until it stopped at the size of a sesame seed.

"He will come back."

Ye Yun tightly clenched his fists, looking at the back of the master of the pavilion as he left, affirming, he stopped in his tracks, tilting his head with a still unconcerned expression on his face.

"Perhaps."

(Godrealm, the Temple)

"The departure time has come, where is Lord Wu Yanze?" A bishop-looking old man outside the temple talked to the guards who stopped him.

"Lord Ares, His Holiness the Pope has ordered no one, even bishops like yourself, to enter the martial arts field during Lord Wu Yanze's exercise."

Not even myself? Is the new Pope trying to test me by setting such a high standard right from the start?

"Bishop, you misunderstood. His Holiness the Pope is currently practicing with the four vice-governors in the martial arts field, to prevent any harm to you, Bishop."

"What!" Ares' face was full of horror as he scolded, "Even if His Holiness is facing the four Borderless masters, isn't this too reckless... "

Before he could finish his sentence, with a loud rumble, the magnificent and luxurious temple collapsed in a deafening explosion, the towering flames corroding every inch of the temple's land. In the explosion, a purple figure appeared in the field of view, laughing heartily, the deafening laughter drowning out the sounds of the explosion and collapse.

"Hahaha! Sorry, fellow countrymen, it's thanks to you that I have confirmed my current strength."

The purple dragon robe flashed past, leaving only the stunned expressions of the crowd - Wu Yanze wins!

"Soldiers, at my command! Mobilize the army to pacify the Three Emperors and bring the continent under my control. Fight for the ideal kingdom we envision!"

Oh!!!

Looking at the devastated ruins, the momentum of the three armies rose majestically, but Ares couldn't help but pour cold water: "Challenging the Three Emperors, the subordinate believes that the timing is not yet ripe, please reconsider, Your Majesty! Besides, the old Dragon Emperor is not dead, and we..."

"Not yet ripe?" Wu Yanze smirked evilly, patting the shocked Ares on the shoulder, "You're wrong, the time is waiting for me, not the other way around, understand? Hehehe! Even if that woman Long Ling regains her body, she's just a woman. Her strength is far inferior to what it used to be, she won't be my opponent."

At the border between the Vatican and the Three Empires lies a formidable obstacle—a vast sea called the Mulan Sea that spans a whopping three hundred kilometers! It has long protected the Vatican but at the same time restricted its movements.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will immediately dispatch the air force and navy to cross the Mulan Sea," said Aries, waving his hand to call forward two generals from the front row to give orders.

"Heh heh, no need!"

Meanwhile, Wu Yan leisurely walked to the seashore, took a sudden deep breath, and exhaled!

As the ocean connected to the tunnel of the Southern Three Empires, it was created by this powerful aura!

At this moment, his body was no longer the color it ought to be, but rather a black monster like a shadow!

Abnormal! This was no longer just powerful; even the High Priest Hobis couldn't help but shiver in excitement, exclaiming, "The Lord Pope is mighty! Looking at the strong individuals throughout the history of the continent, they can only tremble in the face of the Lord's power!"

"Master, haven't we arrived yet?"

Yuanhui's face twitched, his hair soaked with sweat. In addition to mastering the power of spatial flight, he also had to carry the eight-thousand-pound Meteor Sword on his back!

"Master, why... not drop this thing?” Yuanhui almost gritted out the words, the burden making his whole body reach its limits!

"Ah ah, if we don’t do this, how can you use the Ocean-Resting God Pearl I gave you?" Wuxian teased as he twirled a transparent pearl while pulling on his ears.

"Pearl, such a beautiful pearl!"

Wuxian began his daily childish time by playing with the Dragon Pearl as big as a dragon egg in his hands. They were now flying three thousand meters above Tianxue Mountain.

At Yuanhui's current level of strength, he could crash at any moment!

"By the way, Master, how far is it to Hanfeng City?"

Yuanhui, sweating profusely, absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy of space with all his might, releasing it all below to maintain their flight.

"Almost there, at this speed, less than three minutes."

"Oh...really...haha... dying!" Yuanhui's face turned purple, only exhaling without inhaling.

Both of his hands were trembling violently, his ankles feeling like they were chained, restricting his movement.

"Mas... Master, I really can't do it anymore!"

As soon as Yuanhui said this, Wuxian quickly hoisted him onto his shoulders and shook his head.

"My disciple, you still need to expand your vessel. Although you are at the peak level of the Reverse Rank, your body skills are still at the level of Barefoot Reverse Rank, and need improvement."

Just as Wuxian was about to continue criticizing Yuanhui's shortcomings, the vague mist in the sky slowly dissipated, revealing a fierce battle between the Holy Spirit Army and the rebel forces in Hanfeng City.

"Woah," the sounds of fighting and explosions woke up the dazed Yuanhui, "Master, is this Hanfeng City?"

He pointed to the dilapidated ruins below.

The city wall, shrouded in smoke and gunfire, bore the three characters of Hanfeng City, answering his question.
