Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

What came into Xiaocaihua's view was a strikingly beautiful young girl.

He had blond hair, blue eyes, and well-proportioned, delicate features.

She was wearing a long black dress and looked docile and obedient.

Little Cauliflower didn't recognize the other person at all.

She was astonished because the aura emanating from the girl was all too familiar.

It was cold, deep, and carried an eerie feeling that lingered.

This is an evil spirit!

An early-stage S-rank evil spirit!

Little Cauliflower spat out the dirt that was stuck in her mouth, pushed herself up to stand up, and stared at the evil spirit girl in front of her.

"Hey, where did you come from?"

"Could it be that there are also evil spirit races in this small world?"

"I……"

Just as Lilith opened her mouth to respond to Little Cabbage, she caught a glimpse of the angel who had launched the sneak attack rushing to Su Lingbai's side.

The angel raised his long sword high, about to strike Su Lingbai, who was caught off guard and in the middle of casting a spell.

Upon seeing this, Lilith lightly tapped her fingertip.

A wisp of pitch-black energy drifted from his fingertips and pierced straight into the angel's head.

"ah--!"

A piercing scream exploded from the angel's mouth.

The black energy kept sucking the blood flowing through his body.

Its once full and robust body visibly shrank and shrank.

In a short moment, the angel turned into a withered corpse and crashed heavily into the earth.

"Is that all?"

Seeing Lilith easily deal with the ambushing angel, Xiao Caihua turned to look at Su Lingbai beside her, her eyes full of grievance and resentment.

Despite being far superior to Lilith in cultivation, she encountered setbacks and frustrations at every turn when facing angels whose cultivation was inferior to hers.

Thinking about this, Xiao Caihua's anger intensified.

After dealing with the ambushing angel, Lilith turned to look at Little Flower, her face filled with deep apology.

"I'm sorry, I just fell from a great height and lost my balance, so I landed headfirst on you."

high altitude?

The little cauliflower looked up at the sky above.

All that could be seen were countless angels and a massive rift stretching across the sky.

Could it be that she fell down from that crack?

But that rift connects to the realm of gods, the stronghold of these angels.

If Lilith came from the realm of gods, why would she kill the angel?

Is there a deep-seated grudge between her and the angels?

After her thoughts swirled in her mind, Xiao Caihua suddenly shook her head.

Why would I bother thinking about these things?

She tensed up, revealing a set of sharp fangs, and glared fiercely at Lilith.

"Listen up, no matter where you came from, you really bumped into me just now."

"I'm aching all over, I've suffered internal injuries, you have to take responsibility for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Caihua lay down on the ground, pressing her hands tightly against her chest and wailing incessantly.

"Let me tell you, if you don't give me 100,000 yuan, I'm not going to get up from this spot today."

"By the way, I only accept witch coins."

"Hurry up and pay!"

She had a plan in mind: as long as she could extort some compensation from Lilith, she could go out and have a good time after leaving this world.

Lilith reached out and scratched her long hair, her tone indifferent.

"I have no money."

She recalled her past experiences, saying that her body was dismembered shortly after she was born.

Later, Chu Ge discovered her and used vines to connect her broken body, which is how she transformed into an evil spirit.

However, after spending only a few days with Chu Ge, the Gluttonous Witch appeared and kidnapped her directly into the Red Moon Space.

When she was first captured, Lilith thought she was going to suffer endless torture.

The reality was completely different from what was expected.

The witch never made things difficult for her.

Not only did he not harm her, he also helped her repair her physical body.

Red Moon is an independent small world with a much higher concentration of magic than Witch Star; the two are simply incomparable.

The space is lush with vegetation and the environment is peaceful.

Lilith devoted herself to cultivation in this peaceful world.

After some time, the witch, fearing that cultivating alone would be too boring, threw her a black wooden door, telling her that the door led to the arena of the heavens, so that she could go in and spar with cultivators from all walks of life to hone her combat skills.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Just moments before, the Gluttony Witch found her and told her that her "imprisonment sentence" had ended.

As soon as she finished speaking, a crack appeared in the void beside her.

A pulling force enveloped her body, directly sucking her away from the Crimson Moon World.

After many twists and turns, she unexpectedly fell into this world of music.

This is Lilith's life.

She had never even seen the money, so naturally she couldn't possibly offer the compensation that Xiao Caihua was demanding.

Before she could even assess the situation, she struck and killed the angel who had ambushed Su Lingbai.

The reason is very simple.

The sinister aura inherent in them instinctively repels the pure and holy power of angels.

The two opposing forces clashed, causing her to feel a strong sense of disgust.

"No money is fine, I can accept rare and precious materials as payment."

Little Caihua still wouldn't give up her idea of ​​extortion and stubbornly continued to speak.

"I don't have any on me either."

"you……"

Little Cauliflower was seething with anger.

After a few seconds of silence, I could only sigh helplessly and accept the outcome.

On closer inspection, the failed extortion attempt was actually a good thing.

If they actually manage to get the treasure from Lilith, and Su Lingbai finds out later, he'll surely tear her apart and feed her to the demon beasts.

Once upon a time on Witch Star, she would stage accidents to extort money from homeless people on the street.

Just because she extorted fifty yuan from them, Su Lingbai killed her and gave her to the homeless to eat.

Little Caihua still remembers that lesson clearly.

Lilith suddenly caught a whiff of an extremely familiar aura.

She raised her head, her gaze quickly sweeping across the entire sky.

In just a few seconds, his gaze locked onto the white-haired figure on the back of the Flame Dragon.

The moment she confirmed the other person's identity, she couldn't hide her joy and shouted out loud.

"Chu Ge!!!"

High above the sky, Chu Ge heard shouts coming from below.

That voice was so familiar that it stirred something within her.

With a gentle clench of her fist, she used spatial power to crush dozens of angels that rushed in front of her.

Blood splattered everywhere.

After dealing with the group of enemies, Chu Ge looked down in the direction from which the sound came.

Upon seeing Lilith standing beside Little Rapeseed on the ground in the dense forest, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"...Lilith?"

"It's me, Chu Ge!"

Three years later, Chu Ge could still recognize her at a glance, and Lilith was filled with excitement.

She temporarily put aside the small cauliflower beside her.

With a burst of power from his legs, he was launched into the air and landed straight in Chu Ge's arms.

"Chu Ge, Lilith thinks about you every single day."

I miss you too.

Chu Ge raised his hand and gently patted Lilith's back, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"Weren't you captured by the Gluttony Witch? How come you're suddenly here?"

Lilith recounted her entire experience in the Red Moon Space over the past three years in simple and straightforward language.

The story was told in just one minute.

After listening, Chu Ge nodded thoughtfully.

His gaze fell on Lilith's unharmed body.

"It's good that everyone is safe and sound."

She suddenly remembered something and asked him about it.

"By the way, where's Li Yi?"

"He was kidnapped by the witch along with you. Have you seen him since?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ge raised his hand and unleashed a chilling aura, freezing a group of charging angels.

Once the ice crystals formed, a gentle tremor shattered all the angels.

"Li Yi?"

Lilith's expression froze, and she gently shook her head.

Lilith doesn't know his whereabouts.

"In those three years, I only saw him once, during the first month after I was kidnapped."

"Li Yi told me at the time, 'If you do something, you have to take responsibility for it.'"

"He will definitely find a way to rescue me from the Red Moon."

"Did you ask him what method he planned to use to save the person?" Chu Ge followed up with a question.

"I asked him, but I don't remember what he said after that."

Lilith frowned and tried to recall, her tone tinged with uncertainty.

He said he was something like "gada"... and there was a string of other words after that.

"Gada Gemu?"

"That's right, that's exactly what Li Yi said!" Lilith nodded vigorously, her tone resolute.

"He claimed to be a top expert in Gada Gemu, with ten years of experience."

He frankly admitted that he couldn't defeat the Gluttony Witch in a direct confrontation and planned to try a different approach.

"He said that as long as I could win over the witch, he could then take me away from Red Moon without any problem."

He said he would get up from where he fell.

"So they set their sights on the Gluttony Witch."

"He also told me that if you want to win someone's heart, you must first win their stomach."

"He plans to cook a delicious meal himself to increase the witch's favorability towards him."

"What happened next?" Chu Ge continued to press.

"...That was the end of it."

Lilith sighed softly.

"Lilith never saw him again after that conversation."

After listening, Chu Ge fell into a long silence, unsure of what to say.

Only Li Yi could come up with such an outrageous idea as to actively pursue the Gluttony Witch.

Is this the boldness that is innate in the so-called masters of Gada Gemu?

That's appalling.

High-risk paths often come with extremely high rewards.

If Li Yi can successfully navigate this path, virtually no one will be able to restrict him as he travels through countless worlds.

—My witch wife and her eleven witch sisters.

But the gluttonous demon woman's temperament is unpredictable.

Would someone really develop feelings for a ram knight, the so-called "Dung Master"?

"Never mind, everyone has their own opportunities and choices."

Chu Ge sighed softly, no longer worrying about Li Yi's whereabouts.

Refocus your attention and hunt down the ever-approaching angels.

Lilith followed closely behind, leaping into the fray to fight alongside Chu Ge.

Just one minute later.

A long, drawn-out eagle cry tore through the entire sky.

A dark figure streaked across the sky like a streak of light, its sharp eagle claws slicing down and tearing apart a large swathe of the angel legion.

"Master, I'm coming!"

The black eagle spread its wings, and countless black feathers shot out rapidly, piercing through the bodies of one angel after another.

Previously, Black Hawk and Miya were locked in a fierce battle on the distant grasslands, with the two sides fighting to a fever pitch.

The quasi-emperor aura released by Mi Tian suddenly enveloped the entire arena, abruptly interrupting the two's battle.

As the oppressive aura dissipated, Miya did not continue to attack Black Eagle, but turned and flew towards where Mitian was.

Black Hawk narrowly escaped death and found a secluded corner to recuperate and heal. Only now has he recovered most of his fighting strength and is rushing to the main battlefield to support Chu Ge.

"Thanks a lot."

Chu Ge looked at the black eagle flying in and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

shhhhh--

Several whooshing sounds pierced the air.

Several wind blades shot out from mid-air, slicing several angels in half at the waist.

Aigu stepped onto the battlefield and joined the fighting.

"How could I be left out at a time like this?"

He looked up at the overwhelming army of angels, then glanced at the ever-cracking and collapsing heaven and earth.

A relieved smile slowly appeared on his face.

If he was destined to die today, he would do everything in his power to protect Arya.

Protect them until the very last moment.

The booming sounds continued incessantly, and the melodious piano music spread to every corner of the sky.

The music resonated in the angels' minds, disrupting their offensive rhythm.

A young girl in a plain white dress stands atop a towering tree, slowly playing the violin in her arms.

"That's all I can do. The rest... is up to you."

Amber was pale, and her eyes were bloodshot.

On the way back to Anjia earlier.

The words Doria had spoken to her when they were alone kept echoing in her mind.

After much deliberation and struggle, Amber finally made her decision.

Extract all the fragments of musical laws hidden within the body.

The three fragments of the laws of music that Miya had previously picked up were things that Amber had deliberately discarded.

Forcibly stripping away the fragments of the law would cause immense damage to oneself, far exceeding the trauma William suffered when Chu Ge took away the fragments.

Not only did their physical bodies suffer severe damage, but their very essence and foundation were also irreversibly damaged.

Her cultivation level, which was originally at the peak of S-rank, plummeted to the early stage of S-rank.

Even at such a heavy price, Amber felt no regret whatsoever.

A deep roar shattered the clouds high in the sky.

A colossal, dark golden beast came charging across the distant plains, its body enveloped in a raging storm.

Amber leaped high into the air.

The sharp beast claws slammed down, shattering the head of a peak A-level angel.

"If you have the guts, come and fight me!"

Amber unleashed her full killing intent, revealing her complete cultivation level.

Early stage of S-rank!

After escorting Arya and Clara safely into the palace, it went out alone to hunt down lone angels.

It knew in its heart that with the angels launching a massive invasion, the entire world was facing a crisis of destruction.

But this disaster was also a rare opportunity for it.

With an innate talent for devouring, one can quickly increase their own strength by devouring opponents.

In just one day.

It relentlessly fought and devoured, steadily increasing its cultivation level from late-stage A-rank to early-stage S-rank.

After breaking through the realm, Amber's body underwent a complete transformation.

Its fur turned a rich, dark gold color, its size more than doubled, and its overall combat power increased dramatically.

Conversely, the threshold for it to absorb and improve its cultivation level also rises accordingly.

For ordinary, low-level angels, the boost they receive after absorbing something is negligible.

Realizing that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, Amber did not hesitate at all and headed straight for this core battlefield.

It knew in its heart that there were only two possible outcomes to this great battle.

Either live.

Either you perish.

Before long, another group of people rushed into the battlefield.

A group of monsters, all black with scarlet eyes, appeared together.

"Master! Brother Black Hawk, we're here to help!"

A dark mantis with a cultivation level of mid-SS rank was the first to arrive, its giant scythe drawing a jet-black blade of light.

With a soft "plop," blood blossomed everywhere.

Dozens of angels were instantly torn apart by the light blades.

Behind the mantis, dark toads, dark centipedes, and other monsters arrived one after another on the battlefield.

The toad's body trembled slightly, and the venom inside its body transformed into countless short arrows that shot outwards.

The angels who had no time to dodge were all poisoned.

"Something's wrong! This venom is corroding my flesh!"

One angel after another fell from the sky, turning into pale, withered bones the moment they hit the ground.

These dark beasts all possess potent poisons, and each one is a formidable opponent.

Against this group of angels with low cultivation levels and no combat experience, the demon beast army was completely slaughtered.

The millions of surviving mermaids in the music world silently watched the battle unfolding in the sky.

A fighting spirit ignited in my heart.

"Did you all see that? Even monsters are willing to stand up and protect this world."

"Knowing they would die, they still didn't give up!"

Deep in the remote mountains, at the entrance of a simple thatched hut.

An elderly man with white hair, leaning on an old cane, quietly gazes at the chaotic battle in the sky.

A relieved smile slowly appeared on his face.

"The younger generation all stepped forward and fought hard."

"I, an old man... can't just hide in the house and stand by and do nothing forever."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful force erupted from the old man's withered body.

His cultivation level rose steadily.

Initial stage of Grade A.

S-class initial stage.

As his power surged, the old man's body underwent a simultaneous transformation.

His once white hair slowly turned jet black, and his withered and thin body became full and plump again.

His cultivation level ultimately reached the peak of SS rank.

With a loud bang, the breathing stabilized.

The old man, who was just a few moments ago looking frail and old, has transformed into a tall and upright young man in the blink of an eye.

The cane in his hand transformed into a sharp longsword.

It surged towards the battlefield in the sky, accompanied by a fierce wind, heading straight for William.

He intends to personally deal with this traitor who betrayed the music world.

"My God, it's him!"

The mermaids watching from the ground recognized the old man and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Who is this person? Is he famous?"

"It's more than just famous," a companion patiently explained.

"This old man once served as the commander of the Imperial Guard in the palace for thousands of years and followed several monarchs."

"He is recognized as a sword saint by the entire world."

"A hundred years ago, he encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation path and voluntarily resigned from his position as the leader of the Imperial Guard. Since then, no one has seen him again."

"Who would have thought that he had been living in seclusion in this desolate mountain all along?"

The man sighed softly, his tone full of regret.

"Judging from his current condition, he has reached the end of his lifespan."

"Once this major battle is over, he probably won't last much longer."

After the Imperial Guard Sword Saint stepped onto the battlefield, several more surviving mermaids released their cultivation auras and rushed to the sky to join the battle.

The crowd included middle-aged men and women, elderly women with white hair, and blind people.

Their cultivation level is not as high as that of the Sword Saint, but each of them is consistently at or above the S-rank level.

It's more than enough to deal with the low-ranking angels who roam around.

Above the ruins of the Mermaid Palace.

A blue-haired girl stood quietly, gazing at the battlefield high in the sky where flames were flying.

"Father, where are you?"

"Are you really going to leave Duoduo alone?"

The girl's cheeks still bore traces of tears, having recently cried alone.

She gazed at the ever-collapsed and shattered world.

Watching their kin perish one after another under the natural disaster.

Seeing his people weeping uncontrollably after losing their loved ones.

She slowly closed her eyes, which were filled with sorrow.

A moment later, a mournful and desolate demonic sound spread from the ruins of the palace, its sound covering the entire musical world.

The music struck the very heart of every angel.

Upon hearing the demonic sound, the angels all stopped moving in unison.

As the demonic sound continued to seep into their minds, their offensive movements became sluggish and stiff.

"It's Her Highness! Princess Doria has appeared!"

"Even the princess has stood up to protect us!"

"Fellow kin, follow me in battle and drive back these angels!"

Dorria's appearance instantly ignited the fighting spirit in the hearts of all the surviving mermaids.

Even the princess was willing to risk her life, so they naturally couldn't just sit there and wait to die.

The demonic sound released by Doria greatly weakened the overall combat power of the angel legion, relieving a lot of the combat pressure on everyone.

On the throne in the heavens.

Mi Tian silently watched Doria below, who was activating the demonic sound, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"Interesting, it's actually this kind of constitution."

The next instant, he stretched his palm forward.

A gigantic hand enveloped the entire palace ruins and reached out to grab Dorya.

When the Quasi-Emperor made his move, his overwhelming imperial might filled the heavens and earth, and no one in the arena could step forward to stop him.

On the battlefield, everyone froze, forced to watch helplessly as this scene unfolded.

"Get out of the way!"

Seeing the danger, Amber used all the remaining magic power in her body to rush towards Dorria at full speed.

Doria sensed the impending crisis.

The immense pressure released by Mi Tian firmly imprisoned her body, preventing her from moving her limbs even an inch, and making it impossible for her to dodge.

When she was young, her father told her that she had a special constitution and possessed a powerful strength that others could not obtain.

This power is both an opportunity and a deadly danger.

Doria always kept the instructions firmly in mind and never showed any of her strength to outsiders.

With her home on the verge of destruction, she could no longer stand idly by and took action.

"Don't come any closer."

Dorria stopped singing the magic song and shouted loudly at Amber who was rushing towards her.

"My father has already left me, and I don't want to see An'an in danger again."

After she finished speaking, she began to sing again.

The demonic sound spread again.

Even if she only had a sliver of life left, she was willing to use her own strength to share a little more of the pressure on her fighting clansmen.

Although Black Hawk didn't recognize Doria, he could tell that this girl was a key asset on the battlefield.

It was closest to the palace ruins, so it immediately activated its maximum speed, intending to rush over and take Dorya away from the range of the vast palm.

A deafening roar erupted.

Just a second before the enormous hand was about to touch Doria, a melodious flute sound resounded throughout the entire sky.

On the back of the fiery dragon that stretches across the sky, Chu Ge stands quietly, gently playing the blue flute in his hand.

Six fragments of musical laws floated in mid-air above her head.

As the flute music continued to play, the Azure Flute released power at the Quasi-Emperor level, with its six fragments simultaneously unleashing a torrent of profound sonic laws.

The two forces combined to block the enormous hand that was reaching down from the sky.

The hand that covered the heavens and the earth froze in mid-air, seemingly unable to move down any further.

Mi Tian withdrew his gaze from Doriya and turned to look at Chu Ge, who was playing a short flute on the back of the Flame Dragon.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"Interesting. There are quite a few tricks up your sleeves among you guests who have come from afar."

"One is summoning a quasi-emperor to appear."

"One is using a quasi-emperor artifact and fragments of the laws of sound to forcibly confront a quasi-emperor."

Miya's gaze was fixed on the fragments of musical laws floating above Chu Ge's head. Watching the powerful force erupting from the fragments, she pondered to herself.

Mi Tian slowly opened his mouth, and his voice spread to every corner of the world.

"You don't need to be nervous. I'm just curious about her constitution and want to observe her up close."

"Since none of you are willing to let me get closer to investigate, then I'll give up."

"There are too many interesting people and things to see them all at once."

His tone suddenly changed.

"But I have one condition: you can no longer use that green flute, or the fragments of the laws of music."

"This level of power is not appropriate for the current battle."

"Forced action would make this battle lose its fun."

Do you think I'm right?

Mi Tian looked at Chu Ge with a faint smile on his face.

"Although I intend to destroy this world, I have my own bottom line and rules for doing things."

"You should know in your heart that if I go all out, I can suppress all those who resist in the arena in an instant."

"In terms of numbers, I command an army of twenty million angels."

"In terms of cultivation level, I am the only one in the entire venue who has reached the Quasi-Emperor level."

"Regarding the fragments of musical rules, I have a full twelve, twice as many as you."

"In terms of resources, even if you pull out hundreds more quasi-emperor weapons, they still can't compare to the Immortal Transformation Feather in my hand."

Mi Tian's straightforward words clearly reached everyone's ears.

The entire battlefield fell silent, and no one dared to utter a word of rebuttal.

Everyone knew in their hearts that every word Mi Tian said was an undeniable fact.

I promise you.

Chu Ge responded calmly.

He raised his hand to retrieve the fragments of musical laws floating in mid-air and stopped playing the green flute.

The next moment, an even more brutal battle broke out.

Mi Tian slowly closed his eyes, leaned back on the throne to rest, as if he had completely lost interest in the chaotic battle below.

Dorria remained standing in the ruins of the palace, continuously activating her magical voice to weaken the angel legion's offensive capabilities.

However, given the sheer number of 20 million angels, this slight weakening effect has very limited impact.

An old saying goes that too many ants can kill an elephant.

A large number of angels broke through the defenses built by the rebels and rushed into the dense forest where Su Lingbai was hiding.

Xiao Caihua knew very well that she was also burdened by a curse of bad luck. If she personally took action, all sorts of unexpected situations would arise, which would only drag down those around her.

She could only mobilize the magic power within her body to condense a thick defensive shield, protecting herself and Su Lingbai, who was maintaining the spell, inside the barrier.

Xiao Caihua's cultivation level is stuck at the peak of S-level. Logically speaking, a group of A-level angels would not be able to break through her protective barrier.

Unfortunately, her true form is that of a demon, and she is naturally restrained by the holy aura of angels.

One or two angels attacking together are not a problem, but when hundreds or thousands of angels attack together, countless holy powers are layered on top of each other, and the power rises to a terrifying level, causing the surface of the barrier to begin to melt away little by little.

"Su Lingbai, how much longer will your spell last!"

Little Cauliflower was extremely anxious, constantly mobilizing the magic power within her body to reinforce the ever-thinning protective barrier.

Su Lingbai's ritual to summon the witch takes ten minutes.

On a normal day, ten minutes would pass in the blink of an eye and wouldn't be considered long.

But right now, we're on the front lines of a life-or-death battle, and every second feels like an eternity.

There are three minutes left until the ceremony is complete.

In the past seven minutes of fighting, nearly a million of the 20 million angels have been killed by the combined forces of the crowd.

This number sounds enormous, but compared to the base of 20 million, it's not even a drop in the ocean.

The continuous fighting has severely depleted everyone's magic and physical strength.

Many people were covered in wounds of varying depths, and their condition was deteriorating.

boom!

Xu Wan's body crashed heavily into a pile of broken ruins, her flesh covered in cracks.

The difference in cultivation level between her and Miya is enormous.

To put it nicely, it's a one-on-one duel.

To put it bluntly, it was Miya who unilaterally beat him up.

Xu Wan had no chance to fight back at all; she was completely outmatched by her opponent in both speed and strength.

Fortunately, Miya did not intend to kill her. She only felt that Xu Wan was too arrogant and taught her a simple lesson.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

Miya's eyes were indifferent, and she no longer paid attention to Xu Wan, who was slowly healing her injuries in the ruins.

It flapped its wings and flew high into the sky, then landed back on the throne beside Mitian.

"Hey you! Don't run away if you dare! Stay here and fight this Great Emperor to the death!"

Xu Wan, supporting her broken body, crawled up from the ruins.

While circulating the Great Thousand Records to repair his physical injuries, he shouted loudly in Miya's direction.

Miya didn't turn around to acknowledge her.

She knew in her heart that it wouldn't be long before this world would completely collapse and be destroyed.

Even if Su Lingbai successfully summons the Quasi-Emperor Priestess to appear.

It also cannot change the fact that this world has already been destroyed.

Ten thousand meters in the air, the battle between the Imperial Guard Sword Saint and William reached its climax.

The shockwaves from their full-force collision sent angels flying in circles as they watched from the sidelines.

"You're too old, you can't beat me at all."

William thrust his longsword forward, the blade grazing the sword saint's eye socket, his tone calm and unwavering.

"I know."

The Sword Saint smiled knowingly, "There are always higher heavens and more powerful people out there. I belong to a bygone era."

"You are different from other newly promoted angels; your abilities far surpass those of your peers."

"My body is already strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and my life force is constantly being lost. I can't hold on for much longer."

"Then why didn't you evolve into an angel like everyone else?" William asked calmly. "Going to the realm of gods might have extended your lifespan."

"When people live a long time, their minds become simpler, and they can't think of so many roundabout shortcuts," the Sword Saint chuckled softly.

His blood was boiling, and his aura surged again, approaching the level of a quasi-emperor.

He was burning through his remaining lifespan, exchanging his life for the power to unleash his full strength one last time.

"Today, I will dare to give it a try."

"Let's see if this sword can bring down a young man like you."

The Sword Saint raised his gleaming longsword high and slashed it straight down at William.

Don't be too arrogant.

Faced with this deadly sword strike, William did not dodge or evade, but instead raised his sword to meet it head-on.

A deafening roar exploded in the sky.

The sword energy generated by the full-force collision of two SS-level peak cultivators covered the entire battlefield, silencing all sounds of fighting.

Everyone looked up simultaneously, their eyes fixed on the spot where the two were fighting.

As the billowing dust slowly dissipated, two figures reappeared in everyone's sight.

William's arm and one wing were severed by the sword energy, and blood dripped continuously from the wound.

He paid no attention to his own injuries and calmly looked at the Sword Saint opposite him.

You lost.

"I am the one who is alive."

The Sword Saint looked down at the longsword that had pierced his heart, his expression showing no surprise whatsoever.

He looked up, his gaze falling on William, and spoke slowly.

"I don't know your name, but as fellow swordsmen, I can sense the resentment that has been hidden in your heart for many years in this sword strike."

"This resentment that has never faded over the past ten years has transformed into the obsession that keeps you getting stronger."

"I was exactly like you back then."

A deep sense of regret surfaced in his eyes.

"Such a talented young man, if only I had met you sooner."

"Child, don't continue down this wrong path."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sword Saint lost his footing and plummeted straight down from the sky, crashing into the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood below.

As William watched the Sword Saint fall, the words the Sword Saint had spoken before his death echoed repeatedly in his mind.

He muttered to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it.

"My father gave my body as a gift to solidify his position, hoping that I would win the championship and bring glory to the whole family."

"You longed to meet me soon, to take me as your disciple, and before you died, you urged me to let go of my obsession..."

"But none of you have ever asked me... what choices I wanted."

William withdrew his scattered gaze and casually swept it over the rest of the battlefield.

He did not continue to participate in the fighting, but flapped his wings and flew back to Miya's side, quietly standing aside to watch the chaotic battle below.

Time passed by, second by second.

The protective barrier that the little cauliflower had painstakingly built with its magic had finally reached its limit.

The barrier shattered under the impact of the holy power gathered by the angels.

"Oh no!"

Little Cauliflower looked utterly desperate.

If Su Lingbai's summoning ritual is interrupted by these angels, all the previous efforts of everyone who fought to the death will be in vain.

Just as the power gathered by the angels broke through the barrier and was about to fall on Su Lingbai.

Su Lingbai, who had been chanting incantations with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

An immense, boundless pressure, befitting a quasi-emperor, erupted from the brownish-yellow wooden puppet she held in her palm.

The overwhelming holy power vanished instantly under the sweep of the Emperor's might.

The puppet detached from Su Lingbai's palm and shot straight into the sky, completely enveloped by a layer of dazzling white light.

Everyone on the battlefield looked up at the white light without prior arrangement.

A domineering and cold female voice pierced through the white light and spread to every corner of the world.

"Ling Bai, who hurt you?"
