The battle reached a terrifying scale.
Mu Ling'er's Demon Royal Flames filled the sky with crimson fire while Lin Ye's Heaven-Slaughter Form erupted with chaotic lightning.
Su Qingyue and Sect Master Zhao Yunhai attacked from below, their sword techniques slicing through the storm.
For a moment—
The four cultivators actually pushed Mo Wuying backward.
BOOM!
Another explosion rocked the sky.
Mo Wuying was forced several meters away.
The watching disciples erupted in shocked whispers.
"They pushed him back!"
Lin Ye grinned proudly.
"See?"
"Teamwork."
But Mo Wuying's expression slowly darkened.
"You have entertained me long enough."
His aura suddenly changed.
A deeper, far more terrifying energy emerged from his body.
The air itself seemed to collapse under the pressure.
Lin Ye felt his instincts scream.
"…Uh oh."
Mo Wuying raised his hand again.
This time—
The giant portal above reacted.
The vortex began spinning violently.
A powerful suction force descended from the dimensional gate.
Lin Ye suddenly felt his body becoming lighter.
His feet lifted slightly from the ground.
"Wait."
"What's happening?"
Su Qingyue grabbed his arm instantly.
"The portal!"
Mu Ling'er grabbed his other arm.
"It's pulling you!"
The suction intensified rapidly.
The portal recognized Lin Ye's abnormal energy.
It was trying to drag him into the Upper Martial World.
Mo Wuying smiled faintly.
"Perfect."
"This saves me the trouble."
Lin Ye struggled against the invisible force.
"Hey!"
"I didn't agree to travel plans!"
The wind roared as the portal's power grew stronger.
Rocks, debris, and even broken weapons began floating toward the vortex.
Su Qingyue tightened her grip.
"You are not leaving."
Mu Ling'er rolled her eyes.
"Same."
Lin Ye looked between them.
"…This is a very romantic moment."
Su Qingyue glared.
"Shut up."
Mo Wuying slowly descended from the sky.
His eyes glowed with victory.
"You cannot resist the gate between worlds."
"Your destiny belongs to the Upper Martial World."
Lin Ye gritted his teeth.
Inside his mind—
The system suddenly activated again.
DING
Emergency event detected.
Dimensional transfer imminent.
Reward opportunity available.
Lin Ye blinked.
"…You're giving missions during a kidnapping?"
The system displayed a new message.
MISSION:Survive entry into the Upper Martial World.
Reward:Unknown Evolution.
Lin Ye sighed.
"Of course."
The suction force grew stronger.
Even Su Qingyue and Mu Ling'er began sliding toward the portal.
Sect Master Zhao Yunhai shouted from below.
"You cannot fight the dimensional gate!"
Lin Ye looked up at the swirling vortex.
Then he grinned.
"Alright."
"If we're going…"
He raised the Shadow Dragon Spear toward Mo Wuying.
"Then I'm taking you with me."
Mo Wuying's eyes narrowed.
"What?"
Lin Ye launched forward through the suction force.
"SHADOW DRAGON HEAVEN-SLAUGHTER STRIKE!"
The spear pierced through Mo Wuying's avatar.
BOOOOOOM!
The sky exploded with light.
The portal destabilized violently.
Mo Wuying's projection began breaking apart.
Yet his voice echoed through the storm.
"Excellent."
"You have finally stepped onto my battlefield."
His body dissolved into black mist.
But his laughter remained.
"I will wait for you…"
"…in the Upper Martial World."
The vortex roared louder.
Lin Ye, Su Qingyue, and Mu Ling'er were pulled closer to the portal.
