The final Dahong replica had received word and fled. Little did he know, many officials of the imperial dynasty had been bought out and were now monitoring his every move.

The imperial emperor of this dynasty had learned from other victims. When the Mosquito Daoist’s party arrived, the imperial emperor immediately drove the power of his nation, although it was greatly diminished—less than a quarter of its former amount remained. His strength still improved.

“Over there! He’s running that way!” shouted a traitorous official, pointing in a certain direction.

“Huh? Don’t let him go!” The Mosquito Daoist’s face instantly changed, and he darted towards the indicated path.

“You are the one who should stay behind!” the sovereign of this imperial dynasty roared, aiming a punch at the Mosquito Daoist.

The imperial emperor’s ferocity and the power of his entire nation resulted in an overwhelming might.

However, Long Shenying’s group was not easily deterred. Long Shenying met the imperial emperor’s punch with his own. The clash produced a thunderous report. Long Shenying retreated from the impact yet showed no signs of defeat.

“Attack together!” Long Shenying commanded.

“Alright!” the two new marquises answered.

Three powerful experts surrounded this imperial emperor, plunging this battle into chaos.

On the other side, the Mosquito Daoist clearly had a speed advantage over Dahong’s replica.

“You’re the last one left!” the Mosquito Daoist growled as his swarm of black mosquitos engulfed Dahong’s replica.

“Your Holy Eminence, save me!” the Dahong replica pleaded, his face paling.

“Hahaha! Nobody can save you now. What resources does your Huang Heavenly Dynasty still have left?” the Mosquito Daoist roared in triumph.

Suddenly, space shook violently. A giant eight trigram diagram appeared around the two and manifested a torrent of flames out of nowhere. The blaze instantly incinerated all the black mosquitos and rushed towards the Mosquito Daoist.

“What fire is this?” the Mosquito Daoist cried out in surprise.

------

At this time, in Xuanyuan City’s plaza, Cangjie manipulated a furnace with eight trigrams slowly rotating on it. This corresponded with the distant eight trigram diagram of fire engulfing the Mosquito Daoist.

“Mister Cangjie, your secret technique is quite powerful. You can control the battlefield from such a long distance?” Emperor Kong smiled.

Cangjie did not respond, continuing to manipulate the pill furnace before him.

------

Borderless Heavenly Capital:

The Unborn Man was taken aback. “Impossible, this is a lifespan cultivator’s method? There’s no lifespan cultivator of the eight veins, is there? An Eight Trigram Furnace?”

“The Unborn Man, shouldn’t you intervene?” Gu Hai prompted out of worry.

“Yes!” The Unborn Man immediately waved his hand.

Buzz!

A pill furnace appeared in front of him. As he gently activated it, two streams of energy—one black and one white—instantly formed the appearance of the Taiji Yinyang fishes, slowly swimming around each other.

Meanwhile, the Mosquito Daoist, still feeling the heat from the engulfing fire, suddenly found himself surrounded by an energy ring made of the Taiji Yinyang fishes, which allowed him to part the fire.

“Hmm? The conception of life and death? To think the Unborn Man comprehended both of them? Yin alone does not produce, Yang alone does not grow?” The distant Cangjie was startled.

“A lifespan cultivator, indeed. Furthermore, he is not of the eight lines of inheritances?” The Unborn Man was astonished.

The two lifespan cultivators, despite being separated by the entirety of the Divine Continent, quickly drove their lifespan secret techniques. In this distant face-off, it was difficult to determine the superior party.

However, the Mosquito Daoist did not hesitate, pouncing on the last Dahong replica. His black mosquitos quickly covered the replica, countless proboscises penetrating the replica’s body.

“Argh!” the replica screamed, unable to repulse the Mosquito Daoist. In the blink of an eye, he had been drained to a mere bag of skin.

Surging black energy emanating from the Mosquito Daoist formed a cocoon around him. An aura of metamorphosis radiated from within.

------

Far away, Cangjie, who was operating the Eight Trigram Furnace, suddenly exclaimed in a serious tone, “Oh no! The Mosquito Daoist is metamorphosing. He’s attempting to break through to the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm!”

“What?” Emperor Kong and the others were horrified.

Was the Han Imperial Dynasty about to gain another consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator at this critical moment?

“Go all out to prevent his breakthrough!” Ji Dihong’s eyes flashed with a chilling light as he gave the command.

“Yes!” Cangjie replied and activated the Eight Trigram Furnace. The distant flames turned even darker as they rushed towards the Mosquito Daoist.

------

In Borderless Heavenly Capital, the Unborn Man was taken aback. “The eight trigrams? Cangjie is indeed a lifespan cultivator—one that transcends the eight lines of inheritance. Destructive Black Fire? That…that’s impossible! Even I can’t do it!” he exclaimed.

“Protect the Mosquito Daoist with all your might!” ordered Gu Hai, his voice firm.

“Yes!” The Unborn Man continued his efforts with palpable urgency.

------

Far away, Taiji Energy shielded the Mosquito Daoist. Beyond the Taiji Energy, the eight trigrams burned destructively, melting the surrounding space. Nobody dared to approach.

The emperor engaged in battle with Long Shenying seemed to snap awake with a start.

Boom!

He pushed Long Shenying away with a single palm strike, his face marked with astonishment. “What…what just happened?”

“Your Reverence, were you really under mind control?” numerous officials asked in shock.

The emperor glanced around as the entire Divine Continent’s north shuddered.

Kong Xuan vs. Limu!

Mao Tianyun vs. Fengbo!

Gu Han vs. Xiong You!

Shangguan Hen vs. Ao Ying!

Mister Starless vs. Lady Houtu!

Sha vs. the Dark Guard envoy commander!

Vairocana vs. the Divine Scorpion Heavenly Demon!

Cangjie vs. the Unborn Man!

Almost sixteen consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm powerhouses engaged in duels. Furthermore, this did not include the battlefield of Ao Sheng, the various sect masters, and the imperial emperor. The immense chaos had all other factions of the Divine Continent holding their breath in suspense.

Regardless of the source of the news, everyone was shocked at the power exhibited by the Huang Heavenly Dynasty and the Han Imperial Dynasty.

Ji Dihong had not made a move yet; neither had Gu Hai. This battle boded to last awhile, causing significant devastation.

------

Standing in the Divine Flame Hall’s plaza, Ba narrowed her eyes. “Gu Hai indeed has a lot of helpers.”

“Indeed, to think he’s even holding his own against Ji Dihong?” Xingtian expressed his amazement.

“I feel they haven’t revealed their full strength yet. Ji Dihong seems like he’s still hiding some cards, and Houqing has not made a move, either. On Gu Hai’s side, his two wives haven’t joined the battle!” Hou Yi announced gravely.

“They will appear!” Ba said with a faint sneer.

She narrowed her eyes at the Divine Continent’s west, at the top of the Spirit Mountain, at Deity Seizing Hall’s entrance.

------

At Deity Seizing Hall’s entrance, Jiangchen stood with his hands clasped behind him, observing the massive battle.

Gradually, a slight smile appeared on his face. “Now, this is more like it!”

Behind him stood a frowning Long Aotian. “Veritable Lord, we just received news of a massive battle in the Divine Continent’s north. But where is Houqing?”

“Be patient. You will see him soon,” Jiangchen replied indifferently.

“Yes! Many thanks, Veritable Lord. This subordinate will forever be loyal to you!” Long Aotian responded enthusiastically.

“Your loyalty doesn’t matter. It will all depend on your fate. If you have the ability, you take it; if you don’t, there’s no one to blame,” Jiangchen stated indifferently.

“Yes!” Long Aotian answered.

Suddenly, Jiangchen seemed to sense something and turned his gaze towards the Divine Continent’s east, where Ba was.

Ba was looking at Jiangchen. When their gazes met, Jiangchen gave her a faint smile, then returned his gaze to the distant battlefields.

Ba frowned slightly for a moment before turning her gaze back to the north.

There were battles everywhere, yet neither Gu Hai nor Ji Dihong moved.

At that moment, the leaders of the four factions drove their blessings to send messages.

“Citizens of the Great Light Sect, this sect master was previously controlled by the demonic mind control of the Huang Heavenly Dynasty. I am awake now, and I am sorry for everything. The armies of the Great Light Sect, from this moment on, cease fighting!”

“Our armies, cease fighting!”𝑓𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝒷𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝘮

“The demonic Huang Nation trapped me with mind control. From this moment, cease fighting!”

“Cease fighting!”

Three sect masters and one imperial emperor broadcast their messages at the same time.

For a time, the citizens of the three sects and the imperial dynasty were in uproar, while the various factions in the Divine Continent’s north were in shock.

“Is it true? There really is mind control?”

“The Huang Heavenly Dynasty is too terrifying!”

“Thank goodness I wasn’t controlled! If I was controlled, wouldn’t I...?”

…

The emperors and sect masters of various factions felt a chill, glad they had not gotten involved in the conflict between the Huang Nation and the Han Nation. At the same time, they felt strong resistance towards the Huang Heavenly Dynasty.

However, Ji Dihong did not seem to care about all this.

The armies retreated, but that did not affect the experts’ battles. Armies were only for the contention of territory. Those territories were very far from the Huang Heavenly Dynasty; there was no need to care about them. What mattered were the intense battles between the powerhouses.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

At the battlefield with the eight trigram fire sea, the black cocoon suddenly began cracking. Then a red light burst forth from the cocoon into the sky.

Boom!freewebn(o)vel.com

Wrapped in red light, the Mosquito Daoist shot into the sky, instantly breaking out of the eight trigram fire sea. He reached outer space in a flash, escaping the battlefield on which Cangjie and the Unborn Man were executing their techniques.

“Hah! Hahahaha! This Dao lord has succeeded!” The Mosquito Daoist burst into exhilarated laughter.

With each booming laugh, an overwhelming aura spread from him, making the surrounding stars tremble. Countless black mosquitoes seemed to fill the entire outer space.

“Your Holy Eminence, it’s not good! The Mosquito Daoist has broken through!” Emperor Kong shouted in alarm.

Ji Dihong’s face turned grave. “Something’s not right!”

“Huh?” The others looked puzzled.

“They are gathering towards the Mosquito Daoist?” Ji Dihong furrowed his brow.

The battlefields of all the consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators seemed to be drifting to a place near the Mosquito Daoist as they fought.

Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, Gu Han, Lady Houtu, Mao Tianyun, Vairocana, Sha, Fengbo, Limu, Xiong You, Ao Ying, the Divine Scorpion Heavenly Demon, the Dark Guard envoy commander, Ao Sheng, the ancestor dragon corpse, and Mister Starless were all very close to where the Mosquito Daoist was, so close that a large section of outer space was constantly shattering.

In the chaos, the heart of the battlefield pulsed with danger—a zone none dared to approach casually.

However, the convergence of these powerhouses was unmistakable, apparently the deliberate herding of the Han Nation experts.

A question hung in the air: why did Gu Hai seek to gather these mighty figures in one place?

Ji Dihong grappled with this uncertainty, and while he could not decipher the reason, he sensed a deep conspiracy.

Turning his gaze towards Gu Hai in Borderless Heavenly Capital, he was greeted with a chilling sight: a faint, cold smirk dancing on Gu Hai’s lips.
