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

"puff!"

Li Xuancang was struck dumb, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Snap!"

Like Su Xinghai, he met a tragic end.

However, his physical body was too strong; his bones were shattered and then quickly healed, creating a tug-of-war.

"boom!"

He unleashed his full power, forcefully opening a passage with his vital energy.

Under immense pressure, it stands out from the crowd.

"Walk."

Li Xuancang sheltered Su Xinghai, and the two quickly left.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a massive, bony hand, seemingly obscuring the sky, enveloped the two of them.

At their speed, they had no chance of escaping the area covered by the giant hand before it landed.

"My lord, don't worry about me, you should leave quickly."

Seeing this, Su Xinghai anxiously urged Li Xuancang to leave.

He was already a burden to Li Xuancang, and Li Xuancang could not escape with him.

Both of them cannot die here; one of them must return alive to protect their families.

Li Xuancang did not flee. He grabbed Su Xinghai, his muscles bulging, and threw him forcefully.

"My lord..."

Su Xinghai, like a meteorite, transformed into a streak of light that pierced the sky.

"Bang!"

Just as the giant hand was about to fall, Su Xinghai narrowly escaped its reach.

"puff!"

Even so, he was still affected by the immense power of the giant hand, and was blasted away, his blood staining the sky.

"My lord."

Having narrowly escaped death, Su Xinghai did not choose to flee. With bloodshot eyes, he charged madly toward the area enveloped by the giant hand.

The giant hand has vanished, leaving the area it covered as a blank space, where nothing remains.

"My lord, my lord..."

Su Xinghai cried out in anguish, unable to believe or accept that Li Xuancang would perish.

Su Xinghai, with disheveled hair and covered in blood, frantically searched his surroundings, trying to find Li Xuancang.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a faint breath came.

Su Xinghai looked up in a hurry and saw golden blood dripping down.

Immediately, space was torn apart, and Li Xuancang, with severed hands and feet and most of his head blown off, fell from the void.

"My lord."

Su Xinghai was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Xuancang.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer, let's go quickly."

Li Xuancang was barely breathing, and he and Su Xinghai quickly fled.

After leaving the abyss, the two were still shaken and lingering with fear.

Li Xuancang's wounds healed rapidly, and his aura became stronger.

"Thank goodness, we almost didn't make it back."

Su Xinghai trembled, a wave of fear washing over him.

After breaking through to the Cave Heaven Realm, he developed the mindset that everyone else in the world was nothing special.

He was perfectly at ease hunting monsters in the abyss during normal times, and he didn't take the abyss seriously at all, believing that the abyss, which everyone feared like a tiger, was nothing special.

After this battle, his previous arrogance was shattered, leaving only deep awe.

It was just a single Abyss expert making a move that nearly caused the two of them to perish in the Abyss; one cannot imagine just how terrifying the Abyss truly is.

"Let's go! From now on, unless absolutely necessary, don't easily enter the abyss."

This experience served as a wake-up call for Li Xuancang, causing a change in his mindset. He developed a greater awe of the abyss and dared not venture into it again.

He bears the mark of the abyss, like a bright red sun in the darkness.

He would be discovered as soon as he entered the abyss, and if he attracted such a powerful figure again, he wouldn't be able to escape so easily next time.

The two quickly cooperated with Bai Meng and arrived at a secluded place, where they handed the monster's corpse to Bai Meng.

"Let's break through right here!"

Li Xuancang did not allow Bai Meng to break through in the capital, so as not to let others know.

He wanted Bai Meng to secretly break through, as a hidden trump card.

Bai Meng devoured the demon with gusto, swallowing it whole, his aura rising steadily.

With Li Xuancang and the other man protecting him, Bai Meng could focus on his breakthrough.

At the same time, the battle at Blackrock Fortress was raging.

The Abyss is determined to capture Blackrock Fortress, and has launched a relentless attack for six months without any sign of a ceasefire.

The Divine Dynasty continuously sent reinforcements, resulting in a stalemate and a constant drain on resources between the two sides.

"We can't go on like this, we can't afford to wait."

Trying to outlast the Abyss is suicidal; the Divine Dynasty cannot afford such a war.

"The monsters never stop, we can only keep going."

The Divine Dynasty knew it couldn't afford to outlast the Abyss, but it couldn't find a way to break the deadlock and could only struggle to hold on.

"Boom!"

High in the sky, the lingering effects of the battle continued to reverberate.

The Divine Dynasty dispatched eleven experts at the Cave Heaven Realm, who, led by Ling Yunxiao, fought fiercely against the demons.

"Huff, huff huff huff..."

Suddenly, the sky turned crimson, and a large number of fiery meteors fell, crashing towards the defensive line.

"Bang……"

The fiery meteors, indiscriminately striking friend and foe alike, crashed to the ground, causing countless deaths and injuries to both demons and the divine army.

"Boom, rumble..."

The sturdy fortress was constantly struck by fireballs, causing it to shake violently and develop some breaches.

High in the sky, Ling Yunxiao fought against two opponents, the Great Sage of Nanli and the Great Sage of Huangsha.

The Great Sage of Nanli was the mastermind behind the sacrifice to the Heavenly Wasteland Continent. He gained immense benefits and broke through to the mid-stage of the Cave Heaven Realm in one fell swoop.

The three mid-stage Cave Heaven Realm cultivators were locked in a fierce battle, and other Cave Heaven Realm cultivators dared not approach.

The three have been fighting fiercely for months without a moment's rest.

Ling Yunxiao was covered in wounds and was being suppressed by two powerful figures. He was already struggling to continue and was in grave danger.

Zhao Mingkong and his group were in no better shape; outnumbered, they could only passively take the beating.

From the battlefields of the Cave Heaven Realm to the soldiers' battles, the Divine Dynasty was completely at a disadvantage.

The Divine Dynasty was completely led by the nose by the Abyss, and could only keep pouring its power into it, sinking deeper and deeper.

Inside the Eternal Hall, Yan Fa, Dongfang Shenhuo, and others gathered.

The atmosphere was heavy, and no one spoke for a moment; it was very oppressive.

"The Abyss has been guiding us to continuously pour resources into Blackrock Fortress; this is their conspiracy."

Yan Fa spoke first, breaking the silence.

Since the start of the war, the Abyss has not been in a hurry to achieve quick results. Instead, it has been gradually increasing its strength, like boiling a frog in water, forcing the Divine Dynasty to continuously send people to support it.

Everyone present was a man of deep cunning, and they easily saw through the abyss's sinister intentions.

"At this point, we have no choice but to continue supporting Blackrock Fortress."

Hong Xuanji said in a deep voice.

What good is seeing through the conspiracy in the abyss?

They cannot abandon Blackrock Fortress, especially since they have invested so much resources in it. If they were to give up now, the Divine Dynasty would suffer a devastating blow.

"We've reached our maximum manpower capacity; there's no one else we can send."

The Eastern Divine Fire reminded everyone.

The Divine Dynasty has already mobilized a significant amount of resources to reinforce Blackstone Fortress. If it were to continue sending reinforcements, it would affect the stability of other regions.

"Where is Li Xuancang? Has he disappeared for more than half a year and is still nowhere to be found?"

Someone mentioned Li Xuancang in an unfriendly tone.

At this critical moment, when manpower is most needed, Li Xuancang has disappeared, infuriating everyone.

Li Xuancang is powerful, and he also has Su Xinghai's assistance.

If he could go to the battlefield, he could certainly relieve most of the pressure on the fortress.

"I have already contacted Lord Li, and he will be back soon."

Yan Fa contacted Li Xuancang three days ago, urging him to return as soon as possible, and Li Xuancang agreed.
