Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

"Hey you two, how have you been?"

Above Venerable Xuanwei's head, a huge Taiji diagram slowly rotated, with Yin and Yang energies descending like two swimming dragons, enveloping the three of them.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly sweeping over the two figures at the forefront of the alien army, showing no sign of emotional fluctuation.

Nanming, the "Stone King," one of the eight kings of the alien race, was also looking at the three Xuanwei Venerables who had suddenly appeared, but he shook his head in disappointment.

"Xuanwei!! It's been almost several thousand years since we last fought, hasn't it?"

"What? So, in the end, there are only three of you Saint Realm experts in the Mirage Cloud Realm? It seems that your human race has truly made no progress."

"We three brothers haven't even looked down on you yet, and you're already disliking us!?" Venerable Lingyuan raised an eyebrow and sneered.

He was like a peerless sword drawn from its sheath, unstoppable.

As he spoke, a wisp of sword intent overflowed, directly slicing a distant star behind him in half.

"Stone King, do you really think you and the Corpse King alone can deal with the three of us brothers this time?"

Although Venerable Qian Yuan did not speak, a hint of mockery flashed in his gray eyes.

Upon hearing these words, the Stone King strangely showed no anger or embarrassment. Instead, for some reason, a faint smile appeared on his face.

He was well aware, of course, that in the Holy Realm, one-on-one battles could last for days and nights without a clear winner, let alone a fight to the death.

Currently, all three members of the opposing human race are at the Saint Realm, while on his side, there are only him and the Corpse King. Outnumbered, defeating them is an impossible task.

However, since Nanming dared to join forces with Qinghun to invade the Mirage Realm, how could he not have his own trump cards?

Just then, the Corpse King Qinghun, who had been silent all along, finally moved.

His head, covered by animal skin, tilted slightly, and a cold voice came from his mouth: "No need for words, just do it."

The moment he finished speaking, a black coffin suddenly appeared in the void and continued to expand. In just a few breaths, it expanded to a size of ten thousand feet, covering the sky and the sun, directly engulfing the Stone King, himself, and even the three Venerable Xuanwei.

In the final instant before the coffin lid was to close, the Corpse King Qinghun's slightly effeminate voice emanated from within the coffin, resounding throughout the entire void:

"Leave those three to me! The rest of you, attack the Mirage Realm immediately!!"

boom!!

The coffin lid closed completely, and the coffin, which was ten thousand feet tall, trembled violently in the void before turning into a black dot. The five Saint Realm beings disappeared without a trace, and it was unknown where they had been banished to.

At the same time, all the warriors of the Corpse Clan and Stone Clan on the tens of thousands of warships roared simultaneously.

At the same time, warships began to move, rapidly descending towards the mirage below.

The warships, thousands of meters long, pierced through the clouds, falling from the sky like burning meteorites.

At this moment, the entire sky of the Mirage Realm seemed to have thousands of tiny suns appearing, illuminating the ground under the night sky.

The nine provinces, including Fengyuan Prefecture and Guxu Prefecture, almost simultaneously felt the violent tremors in the sky.

"Enemy attack!!"

"An alien invasion!!"

The shouts echoed almost simultaneously from every corner of the Mirage Realm.

Countless sects and families reacted at the same time. Mountain-protecting formations and sect battle formations were all activated in just a few breaths. Cultivators from all forces were ready, waiting for the alien race to appear before launching a full-scale attack.

Although some cultivators' faces were filled with fear and despair, most of them were determined to fight to the death.

Meanwhile, atop the highest mountain within the Heavenly Alliance, Xia Jin stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze piercing through the clouds as he watched the thousands upon thousands of warships rapidly approaching.

His expression remained calm and serene from beginning to end, until the black coffin completely disappeared.

"Go, Fengyuan Prefecture is in your hands now!" Xia Jin nodded to the avatar beside her.

His avatar remained silent, merely nodding slightly before transforming into a streak of white light that pierced the sky and vanished from the Heavenly Alliance.

Zhou Suxin leaned against Xia Jin's chest, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist.

"Husband..." she was just about to speak.

But Xia Jin interrupted him directly.

"Don't worry. With my avatar taking action, supporting the entire Fengyuan Prefecture shouldn't be a problem. That avatar might struggle against Saint Realm beings, but it's more than enough to deal with those below the Saint Realm."

"I cannot easily make a move in my true form. Because this time, the alien race has brought more than just those two publicly known Saint Realm experts."

Xia Jin looked at the eyes outside the Mirage Cloud Realm, her eyes narrowing slightly, her expression becoming somewhat solemn for the first time.

Aside from himself, probably no one else noticed.

After the black coffin disappeared, tens of thousands of warships descended towards various parts of the Mirage Realm, but at the edge of that void, one warship remained completely still.

On the deck of that warship, a figure stood quietly.

The man was draped in a large black cloak that covered him from head to toe, and among so many alien races, no one would give him a second glance.

Even Xia Jin herself didn't notice this person at first.

If it weren't for the extremely subtle aura that leaked out from that person the instant the black coffin completely closed, which Xia Jin had caught, it would have been a different story.

They themselves wouldn't even realize it.

The third Saint-level being from the alien race to arrive in the Mirage Realm this time!

Following Xia Jin's gaze, Zhou Suxin also saw the warship and the cloaked figure. Although she couldn't sense the other party's cultivation level, she was absolutely certain that Xia Jin wouldn't lie to her.

Her hands and feet also became a little cold in that instant.

Three Saint-level alien races! One more than the ones on the surface!

The three human saints have already been dragged into another dimension. If the third saint were to make a move now, it would be tantamount to a dimensional reduction attack on the entire Mirage Cloud Realm.

Beneath the sacred realm, all are but ants!

This is not something said casually.

When a Saint Realm expert takes action, it's an absolute massacre. No matter how many cultivators there are in the Mirage Cloud Realm, they can't withstand the full force of a Saint Realm expert.

"rest assured."

Seemingly noticing that Zhou Suxin's hands were a little cold, Xia Jin patted her back, the warmth from his palm dispelling some of the chill in her body. "Even in the Saint Realm, your husband can protect you."

Zhou Suxin didn't speak, but buried her head in Xia Jin's chest, hugging him even tighter and more tightly, as if only by sticking to his body could she find a sense of security in this apocalyptic scene.

Meanwhile, on the deck of the warship outside the Mirage Cloud Realm.

The figure shrouded in a cloak, beneath the wide hood, faintly revealed a sharp golden light.

If someone were in front of you, they would notice that the fleeting golden light resembled the beak of a bird.

The figure suddenly chuckled softly.

"Now that the three humans have been taken away from this place by the Corpse King and his companion, the only one in the entire Mirage Realm who can put up any resistance against me is that legendary sword madman."

"Three hundred years ago, there was a rumor in this Mirage Realm about a sword-wielding madman who, though he hadn't officially entered the Saint Realm, was comparable to Saint Realm experts. He boasted that he was invincible below the Saint Realm and could trade blows one for one above the Saint Realm... Ha, what a boastful tone."

The cloak swayed slightly.

"I'd like to see whether this rumor is true or false."

"Although I don't believe it, I've come this time to avoid any unforeseen circumstances!"

That's right. From the very beginning, he chose to conceal his presence and observe from the sidelines among the fleet of warships.

Even when the Corpse King and the Stone King confronted the three human saints, he always restrained his saintly aura and pretended to be an insignificant soldier.

That's because he was waiting.

Wait for that rumored kendo madman to show up first.

If the rumors are true, he is now in the shadows, while the other party is in the open.

It's simply impossible for the other party to trade one for one with him.

He can even kill his opponent the instant they make a move.

However, he was unaware that while he was trying to find the whereabouts of that sword-wielding madman in the Mirage Realm, another gaze was also fixed on him.
