Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

Xia shook her aching hand. "It's been a long wait... If you guys don't get here soon, I'm afraid Titan will have to sacrifice me."

The symbiotic Sersis within her chuckled, "Ha, frail human... ensuring you survive the blade is more difficult than understanding the ultimate truth."

This frail academic, if she were Bai E or Wan Di, could have held her own against the Fire Thief for much longer.

The battle situation changed in an instant, and Xia withdrew from the field to support the attack.

Bai E and Xing joined forces to fight, their swords flashing and flames rising and falling. Although their attacks were swift, the Fire Thief's abilities were even more unpredictable, and the ever-emerging phantoms were not to be underestimated.

The protective flame spear withstood no fewer than a hundred slashes, and Xing's wrists trembled uncontrollably.

Bai E launched a surprise attack from the side of the Fire Thief, but was easily blocked by the phantom. "Teacher, prepare to attack! We can't hold on much longer!"

The black-robed monster had inexhaustible strength, and its internal energy continued to surge forth.

At that moment, Xia's gun was knocked away, and he fell at the feet of the Fire Thief.

The ceremonial sword gleamed with moonlight, surrounded by a rainbow halo. The black-robed swordsman raised his arm higher and higher, seemingly wanting to pierce through Na Kexia's chest with a single blow.

He thrust the ritual sword in with lightning speed, preparing to extinguish the spark of reason.

At that moment, Xia snorted softly, quickly gripping the sword hilt with both hands, and the alchemical array was instantly activated. Four or five golden runes surged into the Fire Thief Walker in reverse, reversing the power of the ritual sword.

The flames of Oronis were drawn from the Fire Thief's tattered body and gradually solidified on Nakasha's chest.

"Finally... succeeded!"

Seeing that things were not going well, the Fire Thief pulled hard on the sword hilt, but Xia gripped it even more firmly and he couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried.

As the spark of time took shape, Xia raised his head and gave a cold smile, as if mocking his dullness.

"Gate of a Hundred Realms—Open!" Tibo seized the opportunity.

With a loud bang, the Fire Thief was blasted away, and Bai E and his group passed through the door and disappeared into the Suspended Peak Arena.

His black cloak billowed in the wind as he stared blankly at the spot where the Hundred Realms Gate had vanished. This was completely different from before!

[Star: Woohoo, awesome! I finally made the Fire Thief suffer, and even tricked him. Haha, that's so cool of me. Partner, what do you think? Together with Onpharos, we're invincible!]

[Bai Er: Well done, that was a perfect counterattack.]

[Fufu: Why do I want to laugh when I see the Fire Thief can't be pulled, and that moment when Teacher Xia sat on the ground to increase her strength? Such details.]

[Paimon: Keep it up! Try your best! When you need to poop... cough cough, you absolutely can't let go, Natsumi-sensei.]

[Narcida: Alchemy can actually reverse the power of that crescent dagger. Alchemy also exists in Teyvat; I wonder if there are any similarities.]

[Abedo: Equivalent exchange, but what Naksha consumed was her soul, which has significant limitations.]

[Fireworks: The Fire Thief --> The Clown.]

[Robin: Haha, the Flame of Time has been successfully captured! This is the tacit understanding among the Golden Blood. Little Fire-Stealer, you've finally avenged Tian.]

[Wan Di: Well done.]

[Billy: Is this the bond between partners? Star and Whitebeard are so cool, it's a shame we didn't kill him.]

[Xia Die: Let's not forget Mimi's contributions; let's praise the little one!]

[Ling: Mimi is so cute and smart, even the Fire Thief was taken advantage of.]

[Tachibana Fukufu: I hate his clones. Even though there's only one person, he manages to remain invincible through his clones.]

[Mimi: I only got this thanks to Xing's help. I get shy when you praise me like this, thank you!]

[Dan Heng: A flawless plan like this would be impossible if either side made a mistake. However, the Fire Thief seemed somewhat bewildered and incredulous at the end, which didn't seem like a normal reaction.]

[Laigushi: Fire-Stealing Walker... I'm not used to calling you that.]

[Black Tower: What mischief are you plotting now?]

[Sai Fei: Savior Boy and Ash, don't let your guard down. The Fire Thief is definitely more than that; the Gate of the Past might not be able to hold him.]

[Aglaia: What Sefalia said is true.]

Bronya: What a formidable enemy. Stars, you must be extremely careful.

Chapter 345 I... the King of Suspended Edge!

At the other end of the Hundred Realms Gate, Xia was the last to step out of the door, her body went limp and she almost fell to the ground.

A piercing buzzing sound tore through space, and a sword mark appeared above Xia Hou. The crack gradually widened, and he quickly turned around and aimed the gun at him.

Bai E immediately picked up his weapon, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

The Fire Thief charged through the crack at lightning speed like a black phantom, his sword momentum unstoppable.

The ground cracked, and crimson blood crystals rose from the ground, their sharp, thorn-like crystals piercing through the path and instantly shattering the black phantom.

Countless shattered crystal fragments scattered like rose petals. Bai E was stunned at first, then breathed a sigh of relief, an uncontrollable smile playing on his lips.

Because... Wan Di has arrived.

"What a sorry sight, savior."

Bai E turned his head sharply, instinctively retorting, "Heh, how could it not have fallen from the sky?"

The imposing Heavenly Punishment Blade stood upright with its blade pointing downwards. In the extreme light, Wan Di strode forward on the path paved with blood crystals, and the flames burning in his palms were extinguished with a wave of his arm.

"This city has always belonged to me..."

"How can we not use the main entrance?"

He looked disdainfully at the Fire Thief who was about to break free from the blood crystal, gathered the power of conflict in his palm, transformed it into a blood-red crystal again, and flung it out.

No sooner had one wave subsided than another arose. Crystals rained down on the Fire Thief like cannonballs, completely sealing him away. From afar, all that could be seen of him was a massive, blood-red crystal mountain.

Wan Di swept past Bai E, rubbing his hands together, the battle officially... began!

Although his skills were flashy and powerful, they were nothing in the eyes of the Fire Thief. The blood crystal shattered and broke apart, the black-robed swordsman's clothes were slightly dirty, and the cloak behind him fluttered.

Having inherited divine authority, Wan Di's aura was unparalleled. His blood-red aura pierced the clouds as he glared angrily, "Black Tide's henchman—I, the king of the Suspended Blade Army, have come to be your adversary."

The rational Titan Serhis, possessing that summer, sighed, "It's been a long time... Nicardoli."

[Gui Naifen: My god, Wan Di becoming a demigod is so incredibly cool! Who could look this cool for a lifetime? And the way he calls himself "朕" (the imperial "I")... wow, it's practically tailor-made for him.]

[Star: This is even more imposing than Nicardo's entrance! No wonder he's called the Son of the Blade, the most powerful warrior of Onpharos. He is destined to succeed all enemies in the struggle for supremacy.]

[Bai E: Partner, don't overconfidently praise Wan Di. He might put on a show for us sometime. Don't let his serious demeanor fool you; he's actually quite excited.]

[Pera: How romantic! Bai'er, Wan Di, would you be interested in licensing my image? I can create literary works for you for free, the sweet kind, guaranteed.]

[Xingqiu: Um, I feel like Teacher Xia should have gone back to Ohmma as soon as possible, since he has two Flames on him, it's too dangerous.]

[Billy: I would call Strife the most handsome and strongest demigod!]

[Nicole: Cephall is the real culprit, isn't it? Which Titan can mess with the Retribution of Power? Ohmar is only able to avoid invasion thanks to the legacy of the Dawn Machines.]

[Hu Tao: How come the Fire Thief is invincible? Even when trapped in the past, he can still accurately find the Hundred Realms Gate.]

[Clatrus: This is strife! Our King!]

[Tibo: Little enemy, you've never let us down.]

[Wan Di: The journey to pursue fire is not a solitary one. I have merely fulfilled my duty. The conflict should be ended by me. Bai E, it is up to you now.]

[Bai'er: Medemos... thank you.]

"Burn my dynasty, let strife lay the foundation for chaos—"

With a roar of fury, the crimson throne materialized behind him. Suspended Peak City was his territory; how could he allow it to be dominated by the enemy? Countless spikes pierced towards the Fire Thief from all directions.

He clenched his fist suddenly before the throne, detonating the blood crystal and creating shockwaves that formed rings of air.

Sword intent surged, and the Fire Thief was surrounded by a barrier. With a flash, his body split into several afterimages, each engaging in battle with the others. Meanwhile, his true form hovered in the air, calmly observing everything.

"Vanity...the fuel for self-destruction."

"It's nothing more than... a silent dynasty."

The pentagonal spiral rotated and alternated behind him, the Fire Thief appearing and disappearing as if traversing countless timelines, finally forming three sword moves. The crowd was sealed by the endlessly repeating symbols, and the three swords slashed simultaneously along with the phantom.

Space shattered, and a black hole expanded and exploded.

With everyone unleashing their attacks, Wan Di, now a demigod, absorbed most of the damage. "Impressive skills! A perfect start to the festival..."

His blood was boiling, the power of conflict was flowing through his veins, and his fighting spirit was rising ever higher.

"Continue, let our battle feast upon the fallen gods!"

A towering wave of blood crashed towards the Fire Thief, but Wan Di with his indestructible iron fists resisted the greatsword. "I hereby grant you and the spirits of the Hanging Edge the right to share this deathbed—"

The entire battlefield was reduced to fragments, and Bai E and his group were unable to intervene in the battle.

"...It's time to end this." The Fire Thief ascended into the sky, brandished his sword, and countless afterimages sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain, locking onto them.

The Fire Thief fell rapidly among the shadows, his black greatsword gleaming coldly. Taking advantage of Wan Di's attack on the phantom, he grabbed Wan Di's neck with his left hand in a claw-like motion.

Wan Di reacted quickly, suddenly retreating and crouching on the ground, which exposed his weakness.

The Fire Thief seized the opportunity and summoned two more shadows to stab Wan Di in the back along with his true body, aiming for the tenth thoracic vertebra.

Bai E swung his greatsword and strode forward, wielding the sword with both hands and moving with perfect harmony between his waist and stance. He launched an upward slash that clashed with the Fire Thief's sword, blocking the thrust that the Fire Thief couldn't dodge in time.

Taking advantage of the moment of stunned silence, Wan Di quickly rose to his feet, the ground beneath his feet crumbling as he charged straight at the Fire Thief. His scorching divine power surged into his right fist, and the two fists transformed into a roaring lion tearing and biting.

The immense force sent the Firewalker flying, crashing through the Suspended Edge Wall, and continuing its backward flight.

Ultimately, the force of that punch spread throughout the entire palace, completely burying him underground and sealing off the operation.

Wan Di followed closely behind, stretching out his hand, "Heroic souls of strife, heed my command..."

"I am the spear of divine retribution... This world must suffer!"

For millennia, the heroic spirits of those who have endured the trials of war have gathered in the palm of Wan Feng along with the divine power of conflict. Crystal fragments, drawn together by lightning, form a giant spear, and the golden wing imprint representing the conflict spreads its wings, bursting forth with dazzling brilliance.

Upon hearing the last sentence, the Fire Thief, trapped inside the crystal, suddenly looked up in disbelief and exclaimed in astonishment.

The spear of divine retribution, which had condensed into its final form, would not wait. With the roar of ten thousand enemies echoing through the sky, it pierced towards the Fire Thief with an aura of extreme destruction.

With just one shot, the world changed color, and blood rained down.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it wasn't rain, but rather fine sand with extreme destructive power that pulverized the city walls, boulders, and blood crystals.

Blood and sand spilled from between Wan Di's fingers. He clenched his fist and raised it high, the sand swirling in the wind.

"Hanging Edge City has welcomed a new god."

Chapter 346 The Change of Ten Thousand Enemies

[Bai E: No way, the battle scenes with ten thousand enemies are way too exaggerated! Tell me the truth, did you secretly sell some content to the video blogger? Such magnificent and grand scenes, along with the exciting exclusive music, I'm not convinced!]

[Rin: You know what, lately the stories seem to revolve around Wan Di. Could he actually be the main character of Onpharos?]

[Xing: so? 】

[Silver Wolf: Eat my Lion's Fang! This is so cool! When will the dungeon be released? I want to experience it too.]

[Wan Di: Hmph, Suspended Peak is my home turf.]

[Billy: Godslayer and God-Ascending! Bloodstained Crown! Invincible Bro, I declare you my fan now... no, I'm your fan.]

[Qingque: It was truly spectacular. Although not as breathtaking as Pinocchio, the scene was in no way inferior.]

[My heart aches for Xiao Hei for a second.]

[Fou: Hey, did you guys notice? When the Fire Thief heard Wan Di shout "Spear of Heavenly Punishment," he seemed really surprised, like it was something impossible.]

[Zhe: Teacher Xia mentioned reincarnation before, and I suspect that Xiao Hei has experienced many times the Fire Chasing, and the spot where he stabbed Wan Di happened to be the tenth thoracic vertebra, which he only told Bai E.]

Wendy: Heh, another piece of evidence of the illicit relationship between Bai Er and the Firewalker.

[Bai E: Uh… illegitimate evidence? Could it be that I'm really involved with him? But he killed Xi Lian, and I could never have killed her, even if it meant my own death.]

[Fu Xuan: So, what you're denying is the sins committed by the Fire Thief. I admit you have an iron will, but fate loves to play tricks, and often the future you desperately try to avoid becomes the reality.]

[Walter: I'm now starting to doubt the Firewalker's identity. He might be pursuing a larger scheme, like that man from my hometown.]

[*Trus: You mean Kevin of the World Serpent?]

Kiana: Bai E probably won't become him...

[Feng Jin: What are you talking about? Aren't we discussing Wan Di right now?]
