"Boom!"

At this moment, Shi the Third flew out from the ground, but his face was slightly pale. A bloody handprint on his chest was precisely the mark left by Liu Sheng’s palm just now, with lingering energy recklessly damaging his body.

"I’ve been saved!"

Wu Guang’s entire body went limp as he fell from mid-air, almost unable to stand. If Liu Sheng had arrived a moment later, he might have been a goner.

"General!"

Several Dao Realm experts behind him supported him, "I’m fine!"

In front of his soldiers, he certainly couldn’t show weakness. He shook off their hands and stood tall, ready to battle.

"You think just you random riff-raff can enter the Stone Cave?"

Liu Sheng looked at Brother Shi and his companions with contempt, "Just two Late Stage Dao Realm Eighth Layer, are you looking to die?"

As for the others, he didn’t even bother to spare them a glance!

Brother Shi’s face was gloomy; a Peak Stage Eighth Layer expert from the Tree-man Race had just perished.

That was an Eighth Layer expert!

No matter how strong the Tree-man Race was, it was still a painful loss.

"How long do you need?"

"Ten breaths!"

Shi the Third transmitted, having just sensed the Holy Land and was preparing to open the portal, but he was interrupted by Liu Sheng’s palm.

Opening it again wouldn’t require sensing the location of the Holy Land.

It also saved a lot of time.

"Good, I’ll hold them off, you open the portal!"

Brother Shi instantly made a decision; with an Eighth Layer Peak expert already dead, the Human Race wouldn’t spare them, so they might as well give it their all.

"Just you alone?"

Shi the Third’s heart trembled; those were two Peak of Eighth Layer experts, could he manage it alone?

"You focus on opening the portal!"

With that, a mass of green flew from him, instantly appearing as a green-skinned Tree-man in everyone’s sight.

Later Stage of Dao Realm Eighth Layer, even... faintly stepping into the peak.

"Brother Shi, I’ll leave him to you!"

The Tenth Elder of the Tree-man Race, also his older brother.

"Half an incense stick’s time is no problem!"

Even facing Liu Sheng, he remained composed, stepping out as a radiant green glow erupted from him.

In an instant!

The two engaged in fierce combat.

"Kill if you can, if not, just keep them occupied!"

Brother Shi shouted, then charged towards Duke Yuan.

The battle resumed once more.

The already shattered space fractured again.

"Another Dao Realm Eighth Layer expert!"

Chen Xuan exclaimed.

This Tree-man Race truly deserved its second-ranking as a perilous land, presenting so many Eighth Layer experts at once.

"Boom!"

Shi the Third opened the transmission channel once more, his entire body emanating blinding white-yellow radiance.

Simultaneously, the Holy Land within the king’s palace began to tremble gently.

Instantaneously!

Li Mu arrived here, looking at the fragmented Stone Race Sacred Land in the sky, his brow furrowed deeply.

"Is it about to shatter?"

How could he know that the Holy Land was the Great Ancestor of the Stone Race, and now Shi the Third was uniting with the remnant power of the ancestor, both striking together, creating a channel using the unique methods of the Stone Race.

Back then, the Great Ancestor had used a similar method.

That was also because their Stone Race ancestors had left behind power at the Tree-man Race’s site. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

In the Stone Cave City.

Around Shi the Third, the space began trembling slowly.

"Hurry up!"

"I can’t hold on much longer!"

Brother Shi roared, if not for the Tree-man Race’s formidable regenerative abilities, he would have been obliterated by Duke Yuan long ago.

As for the Tenth Elder’s side, the situation was even worse.

Even with a strong recovery power, only his upper half remained.

Yet he showed no hint of fear, holding Liu Sheng firmly in check, preventing him from approaching Shi the Third.

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Not good, Liu Sheng, where’s your clone?"

Duke Yuan’s face turned pale. With his strength, he could definitely feel the space channel about to open.

"Pighead, didn’t I say it was destroyed last time?!"
