I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

"How could this happen!" Dewey's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

The number of golden-eyed beasts far exceeded his expectations.

Everyone in the alliance believed that there was only one Beast King among the Calamity Beasts.

But now, within the crimson mist, countless pairs of golden pupils are densely packed, like falling stars, numbering at least several thousand—or even more.

The situation is out of control.

"Old Liu, shall we leave?" Dewey turned his head with difficulty and looked at Old Liu in the crowd.

Old Liu slowly shook his head, his aged face expressionless.

"Retreat? Retreat to where?" His voice wasn't loud, but it pierced everyone's eardrums.

"The world is turning black. If we don't deal with these beasts, humanity will still face extinction. Rather than living a few more years, we should fight to the death."

"hehe--"

A massive, golden-eyed beast let out a low, mocking laugh: "This insignificant world, this lowly branch of the human race, dares to attempt to annihilate us? How laughable."

Before he finished speaking, a swarm of golden-eyed beasts scattered and surrounded Li An and the others from the alliance.

The next instant, an immense and suffocating pressure descended from all directions.

"puff--"

Dewey coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.

Among everyone present, he had the lowest level of superpower. Faced with the oppressive aura emanating from the golden-eyed beast, his figure swayed precariously in mid-air.

"seal up!"

Dewey gritted his teeth and threw out a sealing rune, its dark golden light protecting him.

But the oppressive aura remained undiminished.

The sealing runes are effective against supernatural abilities, but this oppressive aura clearly does not fall under the category of supernatural abilities.

"You lowly humans, this is the natural suppression of the inferior by the superior bloodline." Another golden-eyed beast spoke, its voice full of arrogance, "You are not even qualified to stand before us."

"You talk too much nonsense."

Li An's icy voice interrupted its mockery.

She raised her hand, and ice crystals exploded in front of her, countless fine ice spikes shooting out in all directions like a torrential rain.

"Puff puff puff—"

Ice spikes pierced the scales of the surrounding golden-eyed beasts, and black blood seeped from the gaps.

But this time, the golden-eyed beast did not fall.

A halo appeared on their scales, effectively isolating them from extreme cold and heat, preventing any fatal damage!

Li An's gray pupils narrowed slightly.

These golden-eyed beasts are far stronger than the previous high-level beasts.

"Kill!" Old Liu said in a deep voice, his tone carrying a resolute determination, "For all of humanity!"

"kill!"

All the men in black roared in unison, unleashing their full power, their rune-inscribed longswords gleaming like snow.

They stepped out of the void, fearless of death.

Countless metal fragments shot out from the Alliance camp, forming a huge rune array in the air, covering an area of ​​several miles.

"boom!"

Li An's clothes billowed without wind, and the sky turned completely overcast.

Countless ice crystals condensed in the void, layer upon layer, like an inverted sea of ​​ice.

Each ice crystal exudes a bone-chilling cold, yet also contains an eerie heat.

"roar--"

The horde of golden-eyed beasts unleashed a roar that shook the heavens and earth.

A primordial aura swept across the entire Kashgar Mountains, causing the mountains to tremble, red mist to surge, and even the air to freeze.

Both sides moved almost simultaneously.

The icy sea overturned, and ice crystals crashed down on the golden-eyed beast horde like a waterfall.

The men in black wielded a forest of long swords, and the array of runes spun wildly.

Li Anchong was at the forefront, with ice crystals swirling around her like a white suit of armor.

The ice crystals shattered, and a strange beast let out a muffled groan before flying backward.

With a backhand flick, ice spikes shot from her palm, striking the eye of another beast.

Black blood gushed out, and the golden-eyed beast shook its head wildly, letting out a mournful roar.

She killed more than anyone else, but there were just too many golden-eyed beasts, and they kept coming!

At the same moment, above the Death Star.

Purple Ember's starship leaped out of space and hovered silently on the surface of the Death Star.

"Young Master, we've arrived," Zi Bai said in a low voice.

Zi Jin did not respond.

She stood up, stepped out of the hatch, and onto the gray surface of the Death Star.

Zi Bai quickly followed.

The two passed through the spatial passage one after the other and entered the Seventh Purgatory.

The crimson sky hung low like a canopy, and the black wasteland stretched to the horizon.

Zi Jin's gaze swept over this exiled realm, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Where is the Disaster Tower?" she asked.

Zi Bai lowered his head, not daring to answer.

The nine-story stone tower that should have stood at the edge of the wasteland is now just a huge crater.

"And there's the Tower of Tribulation." Zi Jin's voice turned colder.

Zi Bai gritted his teeth and pointed into the distance.

The Tower of Tribulation still stands, but the runes on its body have dimmed considerably, and the light of the ninth floor has been completely extinguished.

Zi Jin leaped into the air and landed at the top of the Tower of Tribulation, placing her hand on the tower wall. Her consciousness probed into the tower, reaching the ninth floor.

air.

The Calamity Sword—the artifact that carried the essence of calamity—has vanished.

Zi Jin withdrew his hand, his expression darkening.

She turned and looked at the other seven stone towers.

Seven stone towers stood quietly on the wasteland, runes flowing slowly, showing no signs of anything unusual.

"Tracing back to the source." Zi Jin uttered softly, forming hand seals.

The remaining seven stone towers lit up simultaneously, intertwining in mid-air to form a huge picture.

In the scene, Qian Mengxun stumbles out of the gate, covered in blood, and staggers into the Tribulation Tower, climbing it layer by layer.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zi Jin's eyes.

The women in this small world actually possess such qualities.

Then, a bizarre scene appeared on the screen—the Disaster Tower.

The runes of the Tower of Calamity lit up layer by layer, from the first to the ninth layer, incredibly quickly.

However, no one appeared in the scene; only the runes on the tower were jumping wildly.

Finally, the Tower of Disaster disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the runes on the ninth floor of the Tower of Trials also lit up.

Zi Jin's pupils contracted slightly.

The source tracing has been blocked.

Someone has erased their own existence.

"What's going on?" She turned to look at Zi Bai.

Zi Bai shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion: "Young Master, I... I can't remember."

Zi Jin remained silent for a moment.

It can shield the deduction of the Stone Tower's origin, make the Disaster Tower disappear, and take away the origin of the Calamity Tower.

This person is definitely not simple.

"Interesting." A slight smile played on her lips, and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes. "Let's go, let's take a look at that little world."

Zi Bai was taken aback, then quickly said, "Young Master, if we go in with our true forms, that small world..."

"That's because you're not strong enough," Zi Jin interrupted her, his tone nonchalant. "Stay close to me."

She stepped into the boundary gate.

Zi Bai dared not delay and followed closely behind.

In the heart of the Kashgar Mountains, the fighting has become extremely fierce.

"boom--"

Li An was breathing heavily, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

She has killed countless golden-eyed beasts.

Back home, the situation for everyone in the alliance was equally dire.

The men in black formed a circle back to back, barely managing to protect themselves with the help of runes and the chip-shaped longswords in their hands.

They were still fighting, but their grip on their knives had become too loose.

"It's time to end this." A golden-eyed beast seized the opportunity and appeared in front of Li An, raising its huge claws.

It was going to deliver the final blow.

A mist rose in Li An's gray eyes, and the ice crystals within his body surged out wildly, condensing into an ice wall several meters thick in front of him.

"boom--"

The golden-eyed beast's claws slammed directly into the ice wall, causing it to crack and shatter, but the broken ice crystals exploded on the beast's body.

"boom--"

The golden-eyed beast's massive body swayed precariously, its aura instantly weakening.

However, at this moment—

A five-colored light shot out from behind Li An, so fast that even its afterimage could not be seen.

"boom--"

Five-colored light exploded, and Li An was directly blasted away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Old Liu!" Dewey exclaimed, his voice trembling.

The battlefield fell into a brief, deathly silence.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, including the golden-eyed beast.

Dewey stared wide-eyed at the aged figure in the crowd, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Old Liu's first move was actually against Li An?

Li An slowly turned around and looked back at Old Liu, a flicker of emotion appearing in his gray eyes for the first time.

Old Liu stood not far behind her, a huge five-element halo slowly rotating around his body.

The five colors of light—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—intertwine to form a perfect circle.

The halo spun, enveloping the golden-eyed beast whose aura had already weakened.

The golden-eyed beast's scales cracked inch by inch, and its flesh began to peel away.

"This is... the Devouring Ability!" Dewey's pupils contracted sharply, and his voice trembled.

The golden-eyed beast struggled frantically, but no matter what it did, it could not break free from the halo's restraint.

Its body became increasingly shriveled, its scales fell off piece by piece, and its flesh withered inch by inch.

In less than ten breaths, the golden-eyed beast turned into a dried-up corpse and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Dewey's face was as pale as paper.

He got it.

From the very beginning, Old Liu never intended to rely on the Alliance's power to kill the Beast King.

What he wanted was Li An as bait, the man in black as cannon fodder, and Li An, the golden-eyed beast, the Alliance ability users... all of them were pawns on his chessboard.

The five-element halo on Old Liu's body was still rotating, and its color was darker and brighter than before.

After absorbing the energy of the golden-eyed beast, his aura surged dramatically, and an unnatural flush appeared on his aged face.

Li An wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "You..."

She spoke, her voice soft, yet sharp as an ice blade.

Old Liu looked at Li An coldly, and the Five Elements Aura slowly expanded, aiming at her.

But at that moment—

A sudden change occurred.

Above the Kashgar Mountains, the thunder dissipated, the red mist receded, and the world suddenly fell silent.

A voice rang out from afar, very soft, yet clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Is this the little world?"

Purple Ash descended from the sky.

Behind her, Zi Bai followed closely, head bowed.

Zi Jin's gaze swept over Old Liu, Li An, and the group of golden-eyed beasts.

"It's quite lively."
