Chapter 40: Triumph and Graceful Departure

“Dragon energy, explode!” Huo Guang shouted fiercely.

“Boom~~~~~~~~~!”

The four golden dragons, their dragon energies controlled by Huo Guang, suddenly exploded.

The blast roared across the land as the four dragons shattered into countless fragments.

These four dragons were the embodiment of the earth’s dragon veins; with their explosion, the ground trembled violently.

“Crack, crack, crack!”

Massive chasms appeared abruptly, mountains crumbled, rivers reversed course, and the entire formation’s space underwent a cataclysmic transformation.

“Ah!” “Watch out!”

“This is bad!”

...

All around, cries of alarm echoed.

At the front lines of Yan Chuan’s army, the earth shook unbearably; the three thousand soldiers staggered, struggling to keep their footing.

“Crack!”

Beneath them, a huge fissure suddenly opened.

“Hmm?”

Vermilion Bird’s eyes narrowed sharply.

“Boom!”

The Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise swiftly attacked the nearby mountain terrain, filling the chasm with rocks. Under the protection of Jiu Jiusheng’s sword, wave after wave of falling boulders were blocked, shielding the three thousand soldiers.

Though staggering, the soldiers sustained no serious injuries in the presence of the three powerful guardians.

“Boom! Crack!”

---

A tremendous roar split the sky as if the heavens themselves were torn apart, revealing a vast rift.

“The formation has broken!” Yan Chuan said with satisfaction, gazing upward.

At the moment of the four dragons’ explosion, nearly all the powerful warriors halted their actions, bracing for the unexpected. The golden dragons shattered, the grand formation collapsed, and the earth churned wildly, stirring up countless clouds of dust, dragon energy, and mist that muddled the entire formation’s interior, severely obscuring vision.

“Little girl, hand over the Myriad Marvelous Demon Lotus!” The previously stunned god-tier warrior quickly recovered and advanced again toward Mo Yuxi.

“Want it? Come and take it!” Mo Yuxi smiled defiantly.

“Hmph!”

The man charged forward.

“Azure Dragon Seal!” “White Tiger Seal!”

With a simultaneous strike, two figures repelled the god-tier warrior with a thunderous blast.

“Everyone, rush together! Whoever grabs it first keeps it!” the man shouted.

“Fine!” The others surged forward.

Yang Zhijiu’s face was filled with concern as the Azure Dragon and White Tiger stood ready.

“Lii~~~~~~~!”

A crane’s cry pierced down from the high sky.

Amidst the chaos of battle, the muddled skies, and the ceaseless roar, few noticed the crane’s call. Only a handful caught sight of a white crane diving swiftly from outside the formation, plunging into the obscured battlefield.

“Lii!”

“Little Crane, I’m here!” Mo Yuxi called out.

“Lii!”

The celestial crane dove excitedly, arriving before the assembled warriors in the blink of an eye.

“Danger! Quickly, everyone attack together!” a warrior shouted in alarm.

“Shii-yin!”

“Die!”

“Hold it!”

...

Seven or eight powerful warriors struck simultaneously, their swords, great blades, and mystical weapons all crashing down upon Mo Yuxi.

Just as Mo Yuxi was about to be overwhelmed by the onslaught, in that fleeting instant, a white light flashed.

“Whoosh!”

Mo Yuxi vanished.

“Where is she?” someone cried out in shock.

“She’s above, up there!” another shouted.

All eyes lifted just in time to see Mo Yuxi riding the celestial crane, breaking through the clouds and soaring into the heavens.

“Farewell, everyone! Until we meet again!” Mo Yuxi laughed heartily.

“Bastard, stop right there!”

“Stop!”

“Hand over the Myriad Marvelous Demon Lotus!”

...

Twenty god-tier warriors nearly lost their minds. The prize was within reach, yet it had just flown away? Who could accept that?
