Chang Tianxiong felt the violent upheaval of the land beneath his feet.
"What's going on? The Red Sand Bees' formation is surprisingly terrifying."
Before he could gather his thoughts, he heard Qin Siyang shout from the air "Driving the Tiger to Devour the Wolf."
He immediately realized something was wrong.
He stopped swinging the thunder whip and prepared to leave the area.
But within a radius of several hundred meters, the land visible to the naked eye began cracking apart inch by inch.
The rock and soil were like thin ice, splitting into countless fragments and starting to rise and sink.
Chang Tianxiong pushed off in quick strides, leaping back and forth across the shattered ground, trying to get away from this dangerous place as fast as possible.
But Qin Siyang kept blinking, always maintaining a position directly above him.
Chang Tianxiong couldn't understand Qin Siyang's intention.
Just one or two seconds later, a low humming sound suddenly spread through the air.
The sound seemed to come from deep beneath the earth, heavy and oppressive.
In an instant, all the broken soil completely crumbled into sand and dust. The wasteland that had been covered in hard earth suddenly turned into a desert of rolling yellow sand.
This newly appeared sand was extremely soft. Even though Chang Tianxiong ran quickly, he couldn't stop himself from gradually sinking into it.
He swung the thunder whip in his hand, trying to sweep the sand away. In a moment, tons of yellow sand turned into drifting smoke. But the sand was endless, and the tiny Chang Tianxiong simply couldn't break free.
"What the hell is this thing?"
He looked up. Qin Siyang was still above him with a smile on his face, seemingly waiting to do something.
Buzz!
A piercing vibration suddenly surged upward from directly beneath Chang Tianxiong.
The sound wave swept outward in every direction. Wherever it passed, sand and dust were blown up as if by a violent wind, rising into the sky and forming a curtain of sand that blocked out the heavens.
In that instant, it felt as though countless steel needles stabbed into the eardrums. Even Qin Siyang high in the sky became dizzy. Inside his body it felt as if a mixer had been switched on, all his internal organs twisting together, forcing a scream of unbearable pain out of him.
Qin Siyang even felt his consciousness starting to blur.
Crack!
At that moment, the Clear Mind Bracelet Chris had given him shattered in his hand, reducing the agony in his mind by a small amount.
But that was far from enough to block the assault of the sound waves.
The feeling that his organs had all shifted out of place made him bare his teeth in pain.
He quickly activated [Banquet Domain] again and again, blinking to an even higher and more distant point in the sky to avoid the aftershock.
At the same time, his remaining Tier-3 protective shield shattered like a sheet of plastic and disappeared. Even his Tier-4 armor developed cracks spreading like a spiderweb, with parts already showing signs of falling off.
This Tier-4 armor had been repaired and reinforced by Li Tianming after Hu Yunsheng had almost blown him to death with a single shot.
He even suspected that if he had been wearing the original, unmodified Tier-4 armor, he might already be standing naked while facing this horrifying sound wave.
Qin Siyang was suffering badly. But at this moment, Chang Tianxiong was in an even worse state.
He stood much closer to the source of the sound and endured a far more violent assault.
At the center of the sound waves, even the air was compressed and distorted, like ripples spreading across the surface of a lake.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The Clear Mind Bracelets hidden in Chang Tianxiong's sleeves burst one after another in a steady rhythm.
Several layers of shields on his body were also pierced instantly like thin window paper.
As an [Extractor], his greatest weakness was being interrupted by an attack while preparing [Element Extraction]. To compensate for this flaw, he had secretly collected several Clear Mind Bracelets to resist mental attacks, as well as several Tier-4 protective shields that wouldn't be harmed by his own sequence ability to defend against physical attacks.
It was his strongest defensive form.
But all those Clear Mind Bracelets and protective shields were triggered and destroyed in succession under this sound wave assault. Even the innermost Tier-4 armor shattered into pieces.
The whip in Chang Tianxiong's hand, once covered in terrifying lightning, now flickered as if the power had been cut off. The overwhelming presence he had used to toy with Qin Siyang moments ago had vanished completely.
Even God-Hunting tools ended up like this. Chang Tianxiong himself was even more miserable.
His face had already twisted horribly from the sudden sound wave attack.
"No! This isn't Qin Siyang's skill! This isn't the power of a sequence ability user!"
A look of terror burst from Chang Tianxiong's eyes, which had already become distorted in shape.
"It's a god! A god that can suppress the Path of Believers!"
"Qin Siyang! How the hell did you do this?"
When he looked up again, Qin Siyang had already summoned the drill capsule.
With a blink, he sat inside the cockpit and slammed the accelerator all the way down.
Although the drill capsule didn't have the ability to fly through the air, its powerful thrust was enough to send it sliding through the sky in a slanted falling arc, far away from this region that had turned into a dangerous sea of sand.
"Trying to run now?"
Chang Tianxiong let out an angry roar, though under the surrounding interference the roar sounded shrill and almost comical.
He reached out and pulled. The thunder whip that had originally been dozens of meters long immediately shrank into a dazzling ball of lightning.
Chang Tianxiong hurled the lightning sphere with all his strength. It left a bright silver afterimage as it shot through the air.
The lightning sphere seemed to have eyes. Following the trajectory of the falling drill capsule, it chased relentlessly, the distance closing bit by bit.
Chang Tianxiong only glanced once to know that even inside the drill capsule, Qin Siyang, suppressed by the sequence, would never be able to escape this strike.
He turned his attention to escaping himself.
Chang Tianxiong quickly rummaged through his storage box and pulled out two wing-shaped tools, gripping one in each hand.
"Tier-4 Flying Wings. They should let me escape quickly."
Before he finished speaking, a row of jade-white irregular spikes suddenly appeared from the yellow sand around him.
"What is this…"
In the next instant, the spikes continued extending from the sand, like thick, sharpened pillars of white jade.
And outside this circle of jade pillars, another identical ring of spikes rose up.
Looking at the spikes before him and the endless yellow sand, Chang Tianxiong muttered, "Could this be sand—"
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, sand and soil shot into the sky like a torrent, and the flying dust instantly blotted out the heavens.
A colossal figure burst out from the sand. Grains of sand scattered off the dense, tough scales covering its body.
Its enormous mouthparts were filled with fangs, sucking in the surrounding sandstorm along with the lightning sphere chasing the drill capsule.
Everything that entered was immediately ground apart like scraps of food falling into a grinder, turning into dust and nothingness inside the dark abyss.
Chang Tianxiong confirmed that this world-shattering attack had been launched by a giant divine sandworm.
But at the same time, a question arose in his mind, 'Why could Qin Siyang summon a sandworm to help him kill his enemy?'
'Is he really an incarnation of a god?'
Chang Tianxiong had no time left to search for the answer.
Because his thoughts froze forever at that very moment.
A hurricane swept through. His body exploded into a cloud of blood in an instant, staining the surroundings crimson.
But that splash of red was quickly buried beneath the towering sandstorm.
Within the surging torrent of sand, he, Sequence Level Seven, failed to stir even the slightest ripple.
