A poem goes: A roving dragon strikes, the world is shattered; a lone spear thrusts nine times, the borders fall silent. The long spear sweeps again, leaves scatter in the wind; falling cherry blossoms dance around me as I walk.
This time, none of the world’s top experts from the other three continents in the same group dared to utter a word.
As soon as the leader spoke, the previously bustling venue fell into an instant silence. Though shocked, they quickly composed themselves, acting as if nothing had happened. However, from the fact that they no longer touched the food at the banquet, it was clear that their hearts were not as calm as their appearances suggested.
In the courtyard, his white-haired father lay alone on a daybed beneath a tree, attended only by a few palace maids.
Xue Wanshu was so infuriated by Jun Yihao that she wished he would vanish from her sight immediately; naturally, she was in full agreement with his course of action.
Bi Ya steeled her heart and immediately took action to eliminate Nidi. She rushed back to silence all who had participated that day, but upon returning to the administration office, she was utterly stunned.
At the break of dawn, Lin Fan, who had settled into the Sky Net, went to get breakfast and saw Mu Jin standing nearby.
"So, Teacher Huang and I decided to come and investigate personally. The Xuan Gui Compass is highly sensitive to spiritual energy, so it didn't take us long to pinpoint the location. The spiritual pulse originated near a place called Xianlin, northeast of Zijin Mountain in Jinling City."
"What?" Zhao Junyao was taken aback, never expecting the Head of the Gu family to say such a thing; he sullenly loosened his grip.
The Soul of the Dragon Fighter and the Heavenly Python knew exactly what to do. They immediately took to the skies, soaring behind the thin clouds to conceal their forms, yet they could still watch from afar as the great ships sailed slowly toward the Kyushu Islands.
As soon as the two soldiers appeared, they dove toward Xie Rongjun in a low-altitude swoop. As the Diamond strike hit Xie Rongjun, each soldier threw an iron chain, which whistled through the air as they coiled around his arms.

Xiao Ye had never flown through the universe before, so he naturally could not grasp the cardinal directions of space. However, he could sense from the aura emanating from the cosmos that the stability of space here was unprecedented, capable of withstanding almost any combat fluctuations.
Luo Yu, Luo Lan, and Luo Xin all knew that the one who allowed the team to pass through each spiritual realm with such ease was certainly not a cultivator from Yushan City like Ruan Qing, but rather the individual who possessed the manifestation of a Holy Beast.
Bishop’s laughter ceased, and a brief, uncanny silence descended upon the True Dragon Hall, the atmosphere turning eerie.
A sinister smile appeared on Xie Rongjun’s face as his Spirit-Splitting Iron Claws struck out like lightning toward Wen Rou’s chest. Just as the electric claws were about to pierce five bloody holes into her, a brilliant starlight suddenly erupted from her body.
Bang! The moment Yi Di landed after a roll, his left foot struck the ground, kicking up a massive cloud of dust. With a twist of his waist and legs, he transformed into a sparrowhawk, his palm descending with a strike that layered several powers at once, the sharp wind cutting like a blade into Yi Zhanjin’s cheek.
Han Li toyed with the jade slip for a moment before suddenly pressing it against his forehead, immersing his divine sense into it.
"Is he alright?" Lola still remembered the desperate battle against Quilianna before she lost consciousness.
Indeed, how could the meddling of a mere early-stage Integration realm ape compare to the cooperation between the Long family and the Tool Spirit clan? The latter concerned the very survival of the Long family when the demonic tribulation descended.
In less than half a breath, the long sword hacked Tranny into pieces, and two divine crystals immediately emerged.
"Then I’ll go find Shimakaze first!" Having figured it out, Bismarck wagged her tail, in a very good mood.
With a heart full of pain, I crawled over to pick up the M200, dismantled it into parts, and stuffed them into my backpack. Then, I pulled out the M107’s gun case and quickly assembled it. Once this beast fired, our position would be exposed instantly, but it didn't matter now—we were exposed already.

A thunderous tiger’s roar echoed, and a supreme, majestic aura spread out—the very majesty of the King of Beasts.
The martial arts experts and cultivators present were shocked, but upon seeing this, they were immediately filled with joy.
"These spiritual herbs sprouted from the roots left behind when those people dug up the original ones thousands of years ago. It took millennia to reach their current state. Can you promise me not to destroy their foundations and only take what you need? I hope they can continue to grow," the Green Tiger requested of Hong Wu.
Seeing this, Sun Chen knew that if no one went up, the situation would grow cold again. He chuckled, stepped out from the ranks of the newcomers, and with a flick of his body, deployed the mastery-level Cloud-Chasing Steps.
Su Yuan didn't pay attention to the protagonist and the others, instead checking the state of the Treasury of the Emperor. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were throwing ultimate techniques at each other, especially the Meido Zangetsuha, which had a significant impact on the spatial stability of the Treasury.
Spending a fortune to strengthen the team's base world, opening world gates, and redeeming vast amounts of data to promote the development of a private world—this was not a waste, nor was it useless. The most intuitive proof of this was Artoria and Ren.
Many high-level ninjas had sensed the existence of a hostile force, but the location of the Akatsuki leader’s lair in the Land of Rain remained a secret. Once that was exposed, the time for total war would be at hand.
