A cartoon-style werewolf of immeasurable height, taking advantage of the two Martial Saints' stunned confusion, opened its mountain-like maw and swallowed the Martial Saint who had been labeled "Seer" in one gulp!

Even though the other Martial Saint wore a mask, you could almost see his jaw dropping in shock.

What the hell is this??

But truth be told, Martial Saints are just too strong.

Using every ounce of his strength, the swallowed Martial Saint actually burst out from the werewolf's belly.

However, you could see cracks appearing on the back of his exposed hand.

He must have paid a significant price; his condition was terrible right now.

Li Lingyue seized this brief opportunity and slammed him into the earth's crust with a single palm strike!

The earth shook violently, dust shot skyward, and fissures spread out for several kilometers!

Simultaneously, Li Lingyue was slashed from behind by the other Martial Saint.

Blood sprayed forth!

"Ugh..."

"Lingyue!"

The phoenix robe cloak on Li Lingyue transformed into a longsword at this moment.

This was the Southern Borderlands treasure gifted to her by her Master, the Immortal Sword, Phoenix Cry!

A flash of sword light, a phoenix's cry piercing the heavens!

Li Lingyue and the second Martial Saint fought their way up into the clouds!

Now, without the Lightning-Chasing, Thunder-Racing Boots, even the Seven Divine Starry Steps couldn't reach such heights. You could only watch anxiously from below.

However, during the fierce battle between the two sides, you noticed several times their figures would flash past right in front of you.

Undoubtedly, the enemy wanted to distract the Female Emperor by targeting you.

Yet, even in her weakened and injured state, Li Lingyue could still protect you while fighting the enemy.

You tried to distance yourself from the battlefield to avoid becoming a burden to Li Lingyue's fight.

But the Martial Saint's speed was too fast. No matter how far you ran, they could catch up to you in minutes.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was also getting anxious.

"Run! Why aren't you running!"

"It's useless. Unless you can teleport me from the Northern Frontier to the Central Plains in an instant."

"You're trying to use Zhen like Kun Brother?"

"If you don't have the ability, stop the nonsense!"

"What I'm trying to say is, old man, you're probably beyond saving this time. Our fate has run its course. How about you let me run first? Ahem, you know, my reputation isn't great. If you die and I fall into someone else's hands, I'm afraid I'll be dismembered into eight pieces again..."

The Demon Refining Pot mocked from the side.

"Oh ho! Aren't you the great sovereign of the Xiliang Spirit Artifact Nation? When exactly did your reputation get so stinky?"

The two artifacts started arguing again.

You looked up at the sky, at the terrifying waves of power and the blood mist that appeared from time to time.

"Ten Thousand Souls Banner, you can go."

You erased the master-servant imprint between you and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Both the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and the Demon Refining Pot were stunned.

The Demon Refining Pot thought for a moment and said.

"Hey, guess what? Actually, my reputation... isn't that great either..."

"If the Demon Tribe changes, you might still be useful."

"I thank you kindly!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner hesitated for only a second, then rode the wind and left, running incredibly fast.

You continued to watch the battle in the sky, looking for another chance to help Li Lingyue.

But this second Martial Saint, having learned from the previous example, gave you no opportunity to hit him with an arrow.

Soon after, you heard the sound of wind behind you.

Turning around, you saw the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had returned.

"Old Wan, what's this?"

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner spoke righteously, with passionate fervor.

"If Zhen runs! Although Zhen may gain a lifetime of freedom, Zhen will suffer lifelong torment from the guilt of betraying an ally! Zhen is the great sovereign of the Spirit Artifact Nation, how could Zhen commit such a despicable act!"

You looked behind the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The Martial Saint who had been bitten by the werewolf and then struck by Li Lingyue's fatal palm into the earth's crust had actually crawled out!

You glanced sideways at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"How much of what you say is actually true?"

The next second.

"Run!!"

You, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and the Demon Refining Pot took off running like mad.

The severely wounded Martial Saint, dragging his tattered body, chased after you like a zombie.

"Stop... right there!!"

A starved camel is still bigger than a horse.

The wounded Martial Saint was about to catch up to you soon.

The three of you, one human and two artifacts, happened to be passing near the suppressed Nine Provinces Cauldron.

You used the Stellar River Divine Art to control gravity, slowing his speed.

Stepping on the Seven Divine Starry Steps, your movement technique was exceptionally agile as you ran around the massive foot of the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

You immediately initiated the King of Qin Circling the Pillar mode.

All of this Martial Saint's attacks were blocked by the Nine Provinces Cauldron, nearly rebounding and killing himself.

"Bastard! Stop right there! Otherwise, I'll make sure you die without a whole corpse, your soul scattered to the winds!!"

You ignored him, continuing to circle the pillar, even lifting the Nine Provinces Cauldron to use as a shield.

"Da Chun! Wake up!"

Da Chun still wouldn't wake up.

Those strange written symbols, who knows what kind of magic they possessed, could actually ban a Great Dao Immortal Artifact!

In the end, the Martial Saint's skill was superior. His palm, sharp as a claw, was about to pierce through your chest.

"I'll block you, you bastard!"

The Demon Refining Pot had actually been assisting the whole time, but it really had no advantage against humans. It could only transform into a fleshy egg and charge, directly ramming into the Martial Saint's chin.

That actually worked, giving you a chance to escape.

But the Demon Refining Pot was caught.

The wounded Martial Saint clenched hard, and cracks appeared on the Demon Refining Pot.

Simultaneously, you sensed the connection between you and the Demon Refining Pot being erased.

"Demon Refining Pot!"

The enemy didn't destroy the Demon Refining Pot but stored it inside a storage spirit artifact.

The enemy charged again.

The red in your vision had thickened to the point of dripping blood.

Could it be that today was the end point of this simulation?

A black banner stood in front of you.

"Old Wan..."

"I don't know if I can hold out."

"What are you going to do?"

"Watch closely. I never told you about this move. I originally planned to keep it to ambush you later. Consider yourself lucky."

You realized something.

At this moment, you could no longer distinguish between simulation and reality.

"Old Wan! Don't!"

You tried to reach out and grab the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

But the moment you touched it, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had already transformed into countless dark points of light.

"Soul Over Body!!"

At this moment, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner truly entered the "Self-Will" realm.

In its masterless state, it unleashed its most powerful killing move.

Sacrificing itself to destroy heaven and earth!

"Boom!!"

Countless ghostly faces blotted out the sky, the sounds of wailing ghosts and howling wolves terrifying all living beings!

Black demonic flames that obscured the sun and clouds burned away all enemies!

The explosive shockwave directly sent you flying.

But a force of black energy enveloped you, protecting you from being caught in the crossfire.

Even so, after landing, you were covered in wounds, with who knows how many broken bones, your entire body and face covered in blood.
