Reversing Falsehood and Preserving Truth: All Gods and Gods Are in My Hands

"What exactly did the pangolin say?! Does it want to eat us or tear this mountain down?"

Zhao Lei stamped his foot in frustration. The sharp pain in his chest made him grimace, but he still couldn't help but complain. His eyes were fixed on the colossal beast that blotted out the sky, as if he could stare it to death.

Su Wan's face was deathly pale. Her temples throbbed from the excessive depletion of her spiritual power, and her voice trembled as if being torn apart: "It...it's howling...'Pain...so much pain...imprisonment...destroy...everything...' Its consciousness was completely overwhelmed by pain and rage, driven only by the instinct for destruction!"

This is not a wise declaration, but the howl and rage of a wild beast out of control, more chilling than any threat.

The battle erupted the instant Pangolin No. 1 emerged completely from the burrow!

Its massive, battering ram-like forelimbs slammed into the ground with tremendous force, creating a deafening roar that shook the mountains and the earth. The ground cracked open, sending shards of rock flying like cannonballs. Several deep trenches spread beneath the feet of the group, and the violent shockwaves sent the already staggering crowd staggering backward.

Sun Ruliang and the other Watchers were no match for this level of combat. They lost their footing and were thrown heavily to the ground by the shockwave, groaning in pain.

The colossal beast's massive body, covered in dark brown keratinous scales, was fully exposed to the sunlight, resembling a moving small mountain. Dark red, magma-like patterns flowed slowly through the gaps in its metallic scales, radiating a scorching heat. The shadows it cast enveloped everyone, making even the sunlight seem dim.

"Freeze!"

Han Bingshuo forced a breath of cold air, pressing his hands lightly against the ground. Extreme freezing air spread rapidly along the cracks, attempting to freeze the giant beast's limbs and joints. However, the moment the ice touched the dark red patterns flowing across the pangolin's body, it emitted a piercing "hissing" sound, instantly vaporizing into a cloud of white mist. The patterns surged with crimson light, actually "boiling" the domineering power of eternal freezing. Even the white mist around Han Bingshuo faded slightly, his face grew paler, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Shadow Strangle!"

Seizing the moment when the giant beast paused to breathe, Shen Che transformed into a shadow and swiftly moved forward. His Shadow Hunter Short Blade, imbued with pure shadow power, pierced straight at the gaps between the beast's relatively soft belly scales. But the moment the blade tip touched the scales, the dark red patterns suddenly lit up. The Shadow Hunter power attached to the short blade was violently consumed and dissipated as if scorched by a raging fire. The blade itself even became scalding hot, forcing Shen Che to hastily withdraw his attack and retreat. A burning pain shot through his palm, and his Shadow Hunter Battle Spirit swayed due to its master's energy disorder.

"Entangle!"

Lin Yue gritted his teeth and activated his remaining wood-controlling power. Instantly, countless thick vines sprouted from the ground, coiling around the pangolin's limbs like giant pythons. But as soon as the vines touched the heat radiating from the beast's body, the dark red patterns on them flared up again. The vines visibly withered and burned, turning to ashes in an instant. The intense backlash made Lin Yue's throat taste sweet, and he couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood. His wood-controlling power completely stalled.

"Damn it! This thing is our natural enemy!"

Zhao Changfeng condensed his wind blades to the extreme, three pale blue wind blades overlapping each other, slashing at the scale armor with a sharp sound that tore through the air, but only leaving three shallow white marks. The force of the recoil made his blood surge, his arm go numb, and his raging roar was full of powerlessness.

"All appearances are not appearances; by dispelling delusion, one sees the truth; cause and effect are clearly revealed, and flaws will naturally appear!"

A clear chanting sound rang out at the edge of the battlefield. Chen Mo overexerted his last bit of mental energy, and the dim vertical lines of insight in his eyes barely lit up. The golden Sanskrit mark was precisely marked on the gap between the lines connecting the pangolin's neck and torso—a weak point in the flow of energy.

But just as the Shadow Spirit, hidden in the shadows, swung its twin blades, the pangolin suddenly tilted its head. Its thick neck moved with a surprising agility for its massive size, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow. Instead, it used its thick shoulder armor to slam into the Shadow Spirit. The Shadow Spirit, formed from shadows, was struck as if by a heavy blow, instantly disintegrating into specks of black light. Shen Che's face turned deathly pale, and a metallic taste rose in his throat, clearly indicating that he had suffered a mental injury.

"It can predict weaknesses!"

Chen Mo cried out in alarm, his vision went black, and he swayed, nearly falling over. He barely managed to stay upright by grabbing onto a nearby rock. "It's not just an instinctive reaction; it really senses danger!"

"I can sense... it possesses a unique intelligence! Unlike any other ethereal spirit I've encountered before..."

Su Wan clutched her chest, the spiritual silver light flickering and nearly extinguished under the mental impact of the beast's roar, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Having just endured a series of battles, the group was exhausted and riddled with injuries. Liu Jiaqi's healing power could only barely stabilize their vitals, and there was no time to restore their fighting strength. Now, restrained by Pangolin No. 1's overwhelming power, their previously harmonious teamwork completely failed, and everyone was preoccupied with their own survival.

This behemoth was like a lava fortress covered in spikes that could twist the trajectory of its attacks. Every swing of its claws and tail carried the force to destroy mountains and valleys, smashing deep craters into the ground and sending debris flying like a torrential rain.

Zhao Lei was grazed on the back by a flying boulder, his old injury flared up, and he spat out a mouthful of dark red blood. He staggered and was almost blown away by the subsequent shockwave.

Su Wan's spiritual silver light nearly collapsed several times, and the mental impact of the beast's roar gave her a splitting headache.

Han Bingshuo and Shen Che struggled to maintain their respective fragile domains, yet even self-preservation was a challenge...

A wave of despair washed over them; this was the first time they had ever found themselves in such a wretched situation. In the past, even the strongest enemies could at least be dealt with through tacit cooperation and by finding weaknesses. But against this ferocious beast that seemed to possess intelligence and could even restrain multiple Great Daos, even struggling seemed pale and powerless, as if everything they did was futile.

At this moment, the only one who could barely stabilize the situation was Lu Yu, who had just regained his ability to unleash multiple attacks simultaneously!

"Eight Trigrams Formation - Rest Gate, stabilize! Life Gate, continue!"

A bluish-green defensive shield and a pale green energy vortex simultaneously unfolded around everyone, the gentle life force rapidly healing their injuries and replenishing their nearly depleted energy. However, Pangolin No. 1's attacks were too ferocious; every time the shield was grazed by the giant beast's claws, it trembled violently, fine cracks spreading like a spider web, threatening to shatter at any moment.

"Eight Trigrams Formation - Injury Gate, Break!"

Crimson array patterns erupted from the ground like raging fire, and countless sharp red lights swirled rapidly around Lu Yu, carrying a sharp edge that could tear everything apart.

Lu Yu's body suddenly surged with a light golden, blue, and green aura, and his aura rose steadily. Under the nourishment of the divine medicine, the power of the array within his body finally underwent a qualitative change!

An ancient and profound consciousness suddenly resounded in his mind:

"The Great Dao of Array Formation - The Realm of Imperial Dao!"

The array power of the Imperial Dao Realm allowed him to reach a new level of control over the Eight Trigrams Formation. The flow of the array patterns became more and more smooth, energy consumption was greatly reduced, and the system of offense, defense and endurance finally became stable.

Lu Yu's eyes sharpened, and the azure array power within his body surged with unprecedented fluidity. The azure array patterns spread over a range far exceeding that of the past. The azure light shield of the Rest Gate, the energy vortex of the Life Gate, and the crimson sharp light of the Wound Gate shone even brighter. The three array eyes formed a perfect closed loop of offense and defense, barely managing to block the giant beast's frenzied attack.

"Eight Trigrams Formation - Gate of Blockage... Trapped!"

He quickly formed hand seals, his mind deeply merging with the essence of the array.

Unlike the gentle warmth of the Rest Gate, the vigor of the Life Gate, and the sharpness of the Wound Gate, the array pattern of the Block Gate presents a deep dark cyan color, carrying a heavy connotation of sealing and obstruction, as if it can freeze time and space and seal everything.

The array patterns spread rapidly across the entire battlefield from Lu Yu's feet like ripples. The dark blue light patterns silently merged into the earth, without any earth-shattering noise, but exuding a heart-palpitating sense of oppression.

In an instant, the properties of the ground around Pangolin No. 1 underwent a bizarre change—
