I started by slashing through the enemy's territory, and I drew so many affixes that my hands w

The excitement and madness on the faces of the Pantheon members finally faded when they saw Jiang Qin and Cang Ling suddenly appear, replaced by fear.

"It's Jiang Qin! How did he get here so quickly?"

"Run!"

"Where's the vice leader...? Jiang Qin has appeared!"

They turned to flee, their disheveled state indistinguishable from that of ordinary people ravaged by ferocious beasts.

"Boom—!"

Dark clouds gathered at the top of the tower, and then a bolt of lightning struck from a clear sky!

"ah--!"

Accompanied by screams of agony, these members of the Pantheon, along with the entire tower, vanished from the world forever, without any chance of resistance, and were violently wiped out.

The dark clouds did not stop there, but spread across the city.

The city was shrouded in shadow, and an inexplicable sense of oppression swept over it. The ferocious beasts that were still rampaging through the city felt a chill and subconsciously looked up at the dark sky, letting out a warning roar!

Ferocious beasts are more sensitive to danger than humans.

They sensed something unusual about the sky, that it contained a power capable of killing them.

Jiang Qin held his hand horizontally, and with his movement, countless bolts of lightning fell from the sky.

Each strike landed precisely on the ferocious beasts, taking their lives. Their scales, which they relied on for protection, were rendered useless in the face of lightning with its absolute penetrating power.

Throughout history, lightning has always been the most domineering force in the world.

The city's surviving residents, having escaped the calamity, embraced each other, their hearts filled with the joy of surviving a disaster and the sorrow of losing their family forever.

In a corner of the city.

Cornered in the alley, Ji Xue stared intently at the third-tier ferocious beast in front of her. She was covered in wounds and in poor condition. Normally, she would have already fled.

However at this moment...

She glanced at the two trembling children not far behind her, but ultimately did not back down.

"roar--!"

The ferocious beast roared and was about to pounce.

But soon a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, easily tearing its heart apart. In an instant, its massive body emitted the aroma of roasted meat.

"boom--!"

The body fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Ji Xue subconsciously looked towards a corner of the sky, where two figures stood, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Although it was long anticipated that he would become an extraordinary figure who would shoulder the responsibility of an era,

Unexpectedly, the opponent had grown to such a level in a short period of time. These thousands of ferocious beasts were like playthings in front of him. His strength was enough to protect the safety of millions of humans. He could turn the tide with his own strength.

The thunderbolts continued to fall wildly.

The ferocious beasts that emerged from the ten interdimensional rifts were instantly slaughtered as if they had entered hell the moment they stepped out. Their corpses piled up like small mountains, blocking the rifts, and the aura of death was overwhelming.

Gradually, no more ferocious beasts dared to step out of the crevice.

The successive deaths of their companions instilled fear in them; the other side of the crack was not "paradise," but their final resting place.

Once you take that step, there is only one path: death!

In just over ten minutes.

Under Jiang Qin and Cang Ling's cleanup efforts, the number of ferocious beasts in Tianyun City decreased visibly. The stench of blood permeated the entire land, and countless drops of blood were spilled. Gradually, not a single roar of a beast could be heard anymore.

Jiang Qin's face, however, showed no joy or relaxation; instead, it grew increasingly solemn.

"They're here."

Cang Ling looked in a certain direction, and three powerful figures suddenly appeared not far from her, without her noticing them beforehand.

Three vice leaders of the Pantheon appeared together: Blood Demon, Li Xiaotian, and the hunched old man shrouded in a black robe.

Each and every one of them is an outstanding individual in the Earth Martial Realm.

Jiang Qin looked at the three figures and said, "Making such a big fuss, launching attacks across the country to attract headquarters' attention, only to find that the three vice leaders are hiding in Tianyun City. I don't think you're here to kill me, are you?"

All three were dressed in mysterious black robes, with strange blood-red patterns appearing on the surface of the robes.

These patterns seem to conceal their presence and aura; they are completely undetectable without the naked eye.

Li Xiaotian sneered and said, "You're not too stupid. Although you have extraordinary talent, you are still only a potential threat to our sect. You are not our target this time. You are just an afterthought."

Only two people came to Tianyun City to provide support.

Aside from Jiang Qin, their target could only be...

Cang Ling stepped forward, her face showing no emotion. "Their target is me. When the battle starts, stay far away. Your current strength is not enough to participate in this level of combat."

Before Jiang Qin could react.

The Blood Demon let out a sinister laugh. "Enforcer Cang is indeed confident, but it's not... If you, possessing the power of the laws of the Cangling Realm, were to go all out, the three of us would indeed be no match for you. But guess why we chose Tianyun City as our ambush location?"

"Neither of you are leaving here today!"

As the words fell, thick mist appeared around the three of them, as if they were performing some kind of mysterious ritual. Just as Cang Ling was about to intervene, the three of them shattered and turned into countless black mists that merged into the vast fog.

Jiang Qin frowned, raised his hand, and unleashed dozens of slashes, attacking in all directions.

But it had no effect; it was as if the strike was swallowed up.

"Is this...some kind of field?"

Moreover, it wasn't just a simple domain; when these black mists touched his skin, Jiang Qin could clearly feel his spiritual power and life force being plundered, but he was still able to hold on.

But those who survived in the city weren't so lucky.

The black mist seemed to have a life of its own, devouring everything in sight, including the corpses of ferocious beasts that filled the city. The residents who managed to survive were swallowed up by the black mist the moment they came into contact with it, without even having time to scream.

In a very short time, Tianyun City was completely dead.

Cang Ling saw something and said in a solemn tone, "The Cult of Gods was able to open the rift in the other world by sacrificing people. They deliberately waited until we had finished hunting down those ferocious beasts. With millions of lives in one city plus tens of thousands of ferocious beasts sacrificed, they wanted to... forcefully break through the 'point' of the world barrier."

Neither world is stable; there will always be weaknesses.

Tianyun City is the weakest point connecting the two worlds.

With the sacrifice of three Earth Martial Realm warriors and millions of lives, this massive amount of blood energy is enough to temporarily break through this weak point, forming a special space that allows certain beings to descend.

After an unknown amount of time, the fog that had enveloped the entire city finally dissipated.

The surrounding environment has changed drastically.

The city had been completely dissolved by the fog, vanishing into nothingness without leaving a trace of its existence.

The once clear blue sky is now shrouded in darkness.

At the same time, four tall, illusory figures of different shapes appeared. Just looking at them was an endless torment, as if one had committed some great sin of disrespect.

Jiang Qin could clearly sense that, unlike in Black Soil City, what appeared this time was not some divine consciousness or vessel.

Rather, it is the true form of a deity!
