My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

"Huff, huff huff huff..."

Li Xuancang stood tall in the sky, his robes fluttering in the wind.

His face was cold and stern, and the aura he inadvertently exuded could crush the heavens and the earth, like a god descending to earth.

"What terrifying strength."

"He just broke through to the Cave Heaven Realm, how can he be so powerful?"

"Such combat power is awe-inspiring."

"..."

From the moment Li Xuancang joined the battlefield, he swiftly and decisively defeated the two Cave Heaven Realm experts, reversing the overall situation.

Such formidable combat power is both terrifying and awe-inspiring.

"boom!"

Li Xuancang activated the Judgment Jade Disc to bombard the abyss rift, while simultaneously swinging his fist and slamming it into the rift.

"Bang!"

The monsters around the crack vanished instantly, and those that tried to break through were crushed the moment they showed their faces.

"kill!"

With the abyss rift sealed off, the demons were unable to provide support, greatly boosting the morale of the divine dynasty's army, which launched a counterattack.

"boom!"

Su Xinghai's Devouring Cave Heaven enveloped the battlefield, and countless demons were devoured by the cave heaven, becoming its nourishment.

Qin Xuanling also took action despite his ailing body.

He was, after all, at the Cave Heaven Realm, and dealing with these demons was effortless for him, without aggravating his injuries.

"Arrest these traitors and tear them to pieces."

The Divine Dynasty army deeply resented the Fifth Legion and did not want to let these traitors die so easily. They wanted to arrest and try them, making them wish they were dead.

Without the restraint of the Cave Heaven Realm experts, Su Xinghai and Qin Xuanling were about to be annihilated by Li Xuancang's attacks, leaving the Fifth Legion with no way to ascend to heaven or descend to earth.

"Let's fight them."

The Fifth Legion, cornered and desperate, fought like cornered beasts, determined to fight the Divine Dynasty's army to the death.

They knew how the Divine Dynasty would deal with traitors, and they would rather die than fall into the hands of the Divine Dynasty.

The Fifth Army's resistance was futile and was quickly suppressed.

"Bang!"

With Li Xuancang's final punch, the abyss rift was destroyed, and the great battle came to a complete end.

"Lord Li."

Qin Xuanling, dragging his injured body, came to Li Xuancang's side and bowed to him with clasped hands.

"Marshal Qin's injuries are severe; he should go and rest."

Qin Xuanling was already seriously injured, and in order to stop Han Zhenyue and Behemoth King from escaping, he risked his life, which made his injuries even more serious. He needs to rest and recuperate as soon as possible.

"I'll leave everything to Lord Li."

Qin Xuanling did not refuse. With Li Xuancang overseeing the Black Stone Fortress, he could focus on recovering from his injuries.

Li Xuancang stayed behind to oversee the overall situation and allow the wounded, such as Wei Tianfeng, to recover from their injuries.

Both Behemoth King and Sky-Piercing Great Sage are still alive. Li Xuancang intends to take them back to the capital and let Bai Meng devour them.

"Notify the capital and tell them to send someone here as soon as possible."

Blackrock Fortress is of paramount importance. The Fifth Legion has rebelled, and a new legion is needed to garrison it. A teleportation array also needs to be established as soon as possible.

"If even the Fifth Legion can be corrupted and completely betray us, is there really any hope left for the Divine Dynasty?"

Li Xuancang felt heavy-hearted and exhausted.

Even though he held a high position and had already reached the Cave Heaven Realm, the Divine Dynasty was deeply entrenched in problems, leaving him feeling helpless.

"My lord, there's no need to worry. The universe is vast; where can't we find refuge? At worst, we can abandon this land of abhorrence and travel to other great worlds."

Su Xinghai comforted Li Xuancang from the side.

He felt no sense of belonging to the Forsaken Land, considering it merely a temporary refuge.

With his and Li Xuancang's strength, they were capable of traversing the starry sea and protecting their families.

If the Land of Abandoned Heaven were to truly fall, they could easily extricate themselves and escape.

Li Xuancang shook his head and said, "The abyss keeps expanding, and one day there will be nowhere left to retreat to."

The Abyss has not only invaded the Forsaken Lands, but the entire universe is its target.

Retreating again and again, there will eventually come a day when there is nowhere left to retreat. Li Xuancang will not give up the Land of Abandoned by Heaven unless absolutely necessary.

However, Li Xuancang also agreed with Su Xinghai's idea. If the Land of Abandoned Heaven really couldn't be defended, he wouldn't fight to the death.

As long as he survives, he may well have the strength to contend with the abyss in the future.

While Li Xuancang was stationed at Black Stone Fortress, the Heavenly Crafts Hall was on the verge of war, with a major battle about to break out.

Li Ling'er and Bai Meng glared angrily at the menacing crowd around them.

The people around them had bloodshot eyes, ignoring the angry gazes of Li Ling'er and the other person, and staring intently at the purple-gold gourd that was about to be born.

"Hahaha, it really is a top-grade sacred artifact. I must get my hands on it."

"With a top-grade sacred artifact, I have no fear even if I'm at the Cave Heaven Realm."

"This is a treasure bestowed upon me by Heaven, my destiny."

"..."

The crowd's eyes gleamed with greed, making no attempt to conceal it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a treasure belonging to the sister of Judge Li of the Court of Judgment. Please leave."

Jiang Gan, the master of the Heavenly Crafts Hall, shouted loudly, declaring ownership of the Purple Gold Gourd in an attempt to discourage the crowd.

Upon hearing this, many people were startled, and the greed in their eyes subsided.

No one dared to defy the name of the court. After learning that the Purple Gold Gourd belonged to Li Ling'er, some people backed down and dared not make a move.

However, some people were not afraid at all. They already knew that the Purple Gold Gourd belonged to Li Ling'er and planned to forcibly take it.

These people have powerful backers, so they naturally wouldn't dare to act recklessly if Li Xuancang were in the capital.

But now that Li Xuancang is gone, they are going to take a gamble and forcibly seize the Purple Gold Gourd.

The Purple Gold Gourd is a top-grade sacred artifact, powerful enough to rival those at the Cave Heaven Realm. As long as they seize the Purple Gold Gourd, what do they have to fear from Li Xuancang?

Seeing that some people remained unmoved and were determined to seize the Purple Gold Gourd, Jiang Gan's face turned grim and he became extremely anxious.

If someone manages to steal the Purple Gold Gourd from the Heavenly Crafts Hall, and Li Xuancang blames them, the Heavenly Crafts Hall will be in deep trouble.

Jiang Gan looked around at the people around him, his heart growing heavier.

He couldn't afford to offend anyone who came to take his gourd.

These people are all leaders of the younger generation from various forces, either the children of those in the Cave Heaven Realm or the personal disciples of those in charge of other departments of the Divine Dynasty, with profound backgrounds.

Jiang Gan felt a splitting headache; no matter who was in trouble, he would be held responsible.

"Lord Li, where are you? Why haven't you shown up yet?"

Jiang Gan was eagerly anticipating Li Xuancang's appearance. If Li Xuancang came in person, these people would not dare to covet the Purple Gold Gourd.

"boom!"

At this moment, the purple-gold gourd swayed slightly, and divine light broke through the weapon-refining hall, reaching straight to the heavens.

"Hahaha, a treasure has been born."

The purple-gold gourd underwent a complete transformation, becoming a top-grade sacred artifact. Everyone went completely mad and immediately pounced on the gourd.

"Get out of here."

Bai Meng suddenly charged out, blocking everyone's path.

"court death."

The crowd had gone completely mad, their eyes fixed solely on the purple-gold gourd; anyone who dared to stand in their way was an enemy.

"boom!"

"Bang!"

"when!"

"..."

All the attacks came at Bai Meng, instantly engulfing him.

Bai Meng did not dodge, and took all the attacks head-on.

"puff!"

Even though Bai Meng had broken through to the late stage of the Dharma Body Realm and had a strong physical body, he could not withstand the attack of so many people and was immediately seriously injured.
