As Kong Deming and the others disappeared into the distance as streaks of light, Tai Tan and Niu Tian completely lost all composure.
Tai Tan pulled himself from the shattered mountainside. His ten-meter-tall dark-gold body was covered in countless cracks, yet the crimson glow in his eyes only intensified as Tang San's Divine Sense poured into him without restraint.
Niu Tian's azure robes had long since been torn apart during the battle. A colossal Azure Bull Python phantom emerged behind him, while the divine power flowing through his greatsword distorted the surrounding space.
Both of them understood one thing clearly.
If Wang Donger's body was taken away, Tang San's carefully arranged plan spanning countless years would suffer a devastating blow.
"Liu Yuan, you must die!"
Tai Tan roared hysterically.
"Even if we have to pay the ultimate price today, we'll leave your corpse here!"
Niu Tian also let out a low growl as he lowered his greatsword.
The defensive formation that had protected the Clear Sky Sect for countless years was forcefully reversed, its accumulated energy transformed into overwhelming killing intent that converged upon the blade.
Neither of them could afford to fail.
If Liu Yuan escaped today, not only would their mission end in failure, but Tang San's punishment would be far worse than death.
Driven by fear and fury, both men pushed their strength beyond its limits.

Hovering calmly in the air, Liu Yuan looked down at the two frenzied opponents.
There wasn't the slightest trace of fear in his eyes.
Only cold indifference.
"Just the two of you..."
"...aren't enough."
He slowly raised his right hand.
The resonance between his Dual Soul Cores accelerated dramatically.
An overwhelming pressure erupted from his body, distorting the magnetic field across dozens of kilometers.
"Mega Rayquaza..."
"Dynamax!"
Rayquaza's deafening roar echoed through the heavens.
The sky was instantly swallowed by a gigantic crimson vortex.
Three enormous crimson clouds revolved at its center as scarlet lightning raged wildly.
Already colossal, Mega Rayquaza's body expanded even further.
Its emerald scales became covered in metallic crimson energy, while its enormous form completely blocked out the sun.
The shadow it cast engulfed the entire Clear Sky Fortress.
"G-Max Impact!"
Liu Yuan thrust his hand downward.
With a roar that shook heaven and earth, Dynamax Mega Rayquaza transformed into a gigantic emerald meteor, carrying the combined power of Liu Yuan's Dual Soul Cores as it crashed toward the fortress below.
"Titan Divine Fist—Heaven-Shattering Strike!"
"Azure Bull Python Slash!"
Tai Tan unleashed every ounce of divine power within his body, firing a dark-gold pillar of light more than fifty meters wide straight at the descending dragon.
At the same time, Niu Tian swung his greatsword with all his might, gathering the entire sect formation's power into a gigantic azure sword arc.
The three attacks collided directly above Clear Sky Fortress.
For an instant, every bit of air within a hundred-kilometer radius vanished.
The world fell into a vacuum.
Then—
An explosion of blinding light illuminated the sky like a second sun.
Three different divine energies clashed violently.
Scarlet Dynamax lightning tore through the center of the collision, crushing Tai Tan's golden pillar of light inch by inch.
The azure sword slash endured for less than three seconds before shattering into countless fragments.
The overwhelming force exceeded what the plane itself could endure.
A massive crack opened in space above the fortress.
BOOM!
G-Max Impact descended.
The entire mountain shook as though the world itself had split apart.
The towering peak supporting the fortress was smashed flat.
Countless gigantic boulders disintegrated into dust.
The once-mighty fortress crumbled like a sandcastle before the overwhelming force.
When the dust finally settled...
Nothing remained.
The magnificent Clear Sky Fortress had become a field of ruins.
Tai Tan's Martial Soul True Body had completely collapsed.
Back in his normal form, he knelt inside an enormous crater.
His body was covered in cracks, dark-gold blood pooled beneath him, and his aura had weakened to the brink of collapse.
Niu Tian's greatsword had broken cleanly in two.
He lay buried beneath shattered stone, both arms twisted unnaturally from the impact as blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs poured from his mouth.
Even empowered by Tang San's Divine Sense, the two sect masters had been utterly defeated by Liu Yuan's Dynamax attack.
Liu Yuan dismissed Dynamax, and Mega Rayquaza dissolved into emerald light before returning to his body.
Standing at the edge of the ruins, he calmly looked at the two gravely wounded men.
He made no move to finish them off.
Defeating them and killing them were two entirely different matters.
Although Tai Tan and Niu Tian had suffered catastrophic injuries, they still possessed Tang San's Divine Sense. If they resorted to some desperate final trump card, it wouldn't be worth the risk.
His objective had already been accomplished.
There was no reason to remain.
Turning around, Liu Yuan spread his Starlight Wings.
With a single flap, he transformed into a streak of azure light and sped toward Bright Capital.

Meanwhile, in the God King Hall of the Divine Realm.
Tang San stared at the divine mirror, watching the mountain that had once housed the Clear Sky Fortress reduced to a barren plain.
The hand gripping the Sea God's Trident trembled uncontrollably.
The calm dignity that usually adorned his face had completely vanished, replaced by a twisted expression of rage.
Veins bulged across his forehead.
"Liu Yuan..."
"You actually destroyed the Clear Sky Fortress!"
"And you've ruined my plans again and again!"
"Good... very good..."
"Excellent!"
His furious roar echoed throughout the empty divine hall.
Unable to contain his emotions, the powers of both the Sea God and the Asura God erupted from his body, causing the very floor of the hall to crack beneath the pressure.
The fortress he had painstakingly maintained in the mortal world had been destroyed.
Tai Tan and Niu Tian had been crippled.
Most importantly...
Wang Donger had been taken away.
His entire plan had collapsed.
Tang San stared at Liu Yuan's departing figure through the divine mirror, murderous intent overflowing from his eyes.
"Since you've insisted on becoming my enemy..."
"Then don't blame me for showing no mercy."
"One day..."
"I'll make you beg for death—and find that even death is beyond your reach."
