The battle spread across the entire mountain.
Every clash between the fighters shook the earth.
Lin Ye's spear danced like a dragon while Zhao Yunhai's sword radiated golden light.
Su Qingyue's moon-frost techniques cut through the storm.
Mu Ling'er's demonic flames burned across the sky.
Yet even against four powerful opponents—
Mo Wuying still dominated the battlefield.
CLANG!
He blocked Lin Ye's spear with one hand.
Then flicked his fingers.
A wave of dark energy blasted Lin Ye backward.
BOOM!
Lin Ye crashed into a ruined tower.
Mu Ling'er attacked from above.
"Demon Lotus Explosion!"
Flaming lotus petals filled the sky.
Mo Wuying waved his sleeve.
The flames vanished instantly.
Su Qingyue moved next.
"Moon Severing Strike!"
Her sword slashed toward his neck.
Mo Wuying caught the blade between two fingers.
Then he pushed her away effortlessly.
Zhao Yunhai roared and unleashed his ultimate technique.
"Heaven-Splitting Sword!"
A massive golden blade of energy descended from the sky.
BOOOOOOM!
The entire mountain shook violently.
For a moment—
Everyone believed the attack had succeeded.
But when the dust cleared—
Mo Wuying stood there unharmed.
His aura barely fluctuated.
The sect master's expression darkened.
"This gap…"
"…is too great."
Meanwhile, the battle's shockwaves had begun destroying the surrounding buildings.
The once-magnificent Azure Sky Sect was collapsing.
Libraries burned.
Training halls crumbled.
Disciples fled toward the outer valleys.
Lin Ye slowly climbed out of the rubble.
"…My tuition fees better be refunded."
Su Qingyue wiped blood from her lip.
"This battle is destroying the sect."
Mu Ling'er cracked her neck.
"Then we finish it quickly."
Mo Wuying floated higher in the sky.
"You misunderstand something."
He raised both hands.
Dark energy began forming behind him.
A gigantic shadow dragon appeared in the clouds.
The creature roared, shaking the heavens.
"This entire sect…"
"…will become the altar of my ritual."
Lin Ye frowned.
"Ritual?"
Mo Wuying smiled coldly.
"The energy of thousands of cultivators."
"The collapse of a great sect."
"All of it will open the path between worlds."
Su Qingyue whispered.
"He's using the sect itself as a sacrifice."
Lin Ye sighed.
"Yeah."
"That's definitely villain behavior."
Then he lifted his spear again.
"Guess we stop him."
