I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Yan Ziming snorted coldly, leaped off the Qilin, and soared into the sky, with all the lightning bolts converging on her.

The Qilin, which was originally only a little over two meters tall, grew to be a hundred meters tall just by taking a few steps forward when they were about to collide!

The Qilin's body lines are extremely graceful and soft, maintaining a considerable aesthetic appeal, while beneath these soft lines lies immense power.

However, compared to the Sandstone Dragon, the Kirin's size advantage vanishes instantly, much like the disparity in height between a lightweight and a heavyweight boxer in a boxing match.

Compared to the graceful lines of the Qilin, the first impression of the Sandstone Dragon is—explosive!

One of the sandstone dragon's arms is larger than the head of the qilin, with bulging and knotted muscles. Although they look about the same height, if the two were to collide, people would unhesitatingly believe that the qilin would be the one to be crushed.

boom!

Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two collided.

Surprisingly, the Qilin withstood the Sandstone Dragon's charge, unleashing a burst of five-colored ripples that sent the Sandstone Dragon flying a distance!

Click!

Yan Zimo raised his hand and summoned the Sandstone Dragon. Ten thousand bolts of lightning fell, striking the Sandstone Dragon and knocking it from the sky to the ground. The dragon was still retreating, and its hard shell began to melt, sticking to its surface and leaving deep marks on the ground.

"Wow... This is truly... even gods couldn't stop this!" Qi Huandong couldn't contain his elation and gave this evaluation.

They crushed them in every way with overwhelming force!

128. Spirit

The sandstone dragon was exposed in its ugly state under the fierce lightning strike; its hard shell began to melt after being bombarded for more than ten seconds.

The Qilin then launched a fierce attack.

It slammed its hand down, and the earth and rocks on the ground instantly collapsed and filled in, imprisoning the sandstone dragon's body.

click-

With a single movement of the sandstone dragon, the land reinforced by the Qilin would crack. Its strength was immense, capable of uprooting mountains, and such methods alone were insufficient to restrain it.

Huhuhu

Splash... splash...

Flames erupted around the Qilin again, drawing all the heat from the battlefield toward it. Water also appeared around it, the moisture in the air, all falling under its control.

The flames burned fiercely, engulfing everything in an instant. The ground melted instantly, turning into a molten flow, and then water poured down, firmly fixing the land, which had been on the verge of collapse after the sandstone dragon broke free, back into place.

hum-

As if the rain had stopped and the sun had shone a hundred times brighter, endless thunderstorms and dark clouds still covered the sky. Where was the sun?

That was clearly a star!

Yan Ziming recalled his feelings when he fought the aurora. The light wings that extended from his back flapped a few times and became like the sun. The 'Sun' that the Sandstone Dragon saw was this pair of light wings.

"Energy amplification... what I can replace this with is..."

Yan Ziming murmured to herself, and the Thunder Domain was released according to her will. Lightning flashed and countless bolts of lightning threatened to crush the sky.

The wings of light stopped flapping, bent and gathered in front of Yan Zimo's chest. A dazzling light could be seen flowing from Yan Zimo's back along the wings to the ends. Yan Zimo also stretched out his right hand and pointed at the sandstone dragon.

—All was quiet

The thunder in the sky vanished in an instant, a complete reversal from before, and the next second it was enveloped in an incredibly intense red light, the scorching heat even ionizing the surrounding air.

In an instant, all the ninth-order and even sequence-level beings turned their gazes to her, their pupils shrinking as they sensed an incredibly intense threat emanating from the red light!

The ground began to melt again, and on a large scale. Thousands of meters of land had become a place crisscrossed by lava, and the sandstone dragon could no longer be seen.

"Ugh... Instant kill?"

Qi Huandong was speechless; his legs had been trembling when he saw the red light.

It is generally acknowledged that SSS-level Sandstone Dragons have defense comparable to Sequence-level Dragons. But does this mean that Yan Ziming also has the ability to severely injure or even kill Sequence-level Dragons?

At the same time, Qi Huandong felt a wave of fear wash over him.

If the Sandstone Dragon had appeared a little earlier, things would have been terrible. They probably wouldn't have been able to hold out until Yan Ziming arrived, and Xiyue City would have completely fallen.

wow——

Suddenly, the lava flow burst open, spewing lava everywhere. A huge head emerged from it, roaring to the sky, but it couldn't make a sound.

Still alive!

Qi Huandong's heart skipped a beat, but he relaxed again. The sandstone dragon in front of him had shrunk considerably and was probably at its last gasp.

As he had expected, the Qilin bathed in the flowing rocks, appearing incredibly sacred. Various phenomena of the five elements swirled around it, and it pounced on him, delivering a brutal beating.

"Roar--!"

With a final roar, the Qilin slammed its paw down, freezing the lava on the ground within seconds, along with the sandstone dragon's body, before shattering and turning to ashes inch by inch...

Sandstone Dragon, fallen!

"I'll leave this place to you. I'm going to meet someone."

Yan Ziming said this to Qilin, and with a flash, he arrived on the city wall without anyone noticing, right next to the command post.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and saluted her. Qi Huandong immediately stepped forward respectfully and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"..."

Looking at this middle-aged man with whom he had once had a disagreement, now that time had changed and he was a supreme being above all others, and considering the other man's attitude towards him, Yan Ziming sighed inwardly.

Back when I was still at the eighth rank, they looked at me with admiration or a bit of self-confidence and competitiveness. Now, most of them have turned to awe.

Yan Ziming laughed heartily, trying his best to appear calm and approachable. "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask how things are going."

"It's not good." Qi Huandong's answer surprised her.

Even after killing so many mutated species, is the situation still so dire?

"What we've seen here is just the tip of the iceberg. It's estimated that the enemy numbers in the tens of millions, already scattered across several other cities. And 80% of the entire Sichuan military administrative region's defenses are here, so..."

"......Understood."

Yan Ziming's expression also became somewhat serious, and his gaze turned to the battlefield, his eyes filled with shock.

King of Giants, Tyrant.

Including this one, Yan Ziming has seen all three of the top-ranked Sequence-level beings today. The total number of Sequence-level beings he has seen is close to ten, which would scare a lot of people if word got out.

The one fighting against the tyrannical king of giants is her uncle, Yan Shan.

"What...what happened to the Marshal?"

Let me explain it to you.

A familiar female voice came from behind him, and Yan Ziming couldn't help but smile. He turned his head and looked at her with a beaming smile.

——Mu Mu.

"Come with me." Mu Mu's eyes also held a smile, but she held it back and gave Qi Huandong a wink, after which he went to do his job.

Yan Ziming shrugged helplessly and went with Mu Mu to a secluded place.

As soon as the door closed, Mu Mu turned around and gave him a passionate kiss. Yan Ziming, not to be outdone, hugged her back and pressed Mu Mu against the wall, creating a more intimate atmosphere.

This kiss seemed to last until the heavens and earth were extinguished and returned to nothingness; time itself seemed to stand still at this moment, turning only for the two of them.

Before long, the two parted their lips on their own. Mu Mu quickly adjusted her mindset and explained to her everything that had happened during her absence.

In truth, she longed to have a passionate and intense love affair with Yan Ziming right there and then, but reality wouldn't allow it, so she could only force herself to endure it until the dawn of victory arrived.

After hearing this, Yan Ziming was utterly shocked. "You mean my uncle was about to break through to the Soul Heaven realm, but was interrupted by the Tyrant?!"

Yan Ziming finally understood why those sequence levels all ran away when she was halfway through her ascension. It turned out that her uncle had diverted their attention!

She felt an indescribable sense of guilt.

"Don't feel guilty. Even if Uncle Yanshan broke through at a different time, the result would be the same. It's just a matter of making the best use of resources."

Mu Mu repeated what Huang Tao had told her to Yan Ziming, and Yan Ziming could only accept it helplessly.

Of course, she had considered helping Yan Shan defeat the tyrant, but despite having so many ninth-rank cultivators and so many people, not a single one of them did so, and there was only one reason—

That was a battle between the two of them.

Both the atmosphere and the will emanating from the mountain qilin itself conveyed this message to the other nine ranks.

Moreover, Yan Shan's condition is not quite right at the moment. If our men forcefully go to help, they might be subjected to indiscriminate attacks.

"Alienation." Mu Mu succinctly explained just how dangerous Yan Shan's current state was.

Yan Ziming's pupils contracted slightly. Based on her understanding of Yan Shan, she could easily figure out what Yan Shan had done.

"Skilled and daring!" Yan Zimo exclaimed. No one could have imagined that Yan Shan would dare to break through to the Soul Heaven in this way. What kind of courage was that?

"What are you going to do next?" Mu Mu asked.

Looking at the figure fighting the tyrant, unyielding and upright, Yan Ziming's gaze became exceptionally firm, radiating an indescribable aura.

"Is there even a question? Naturally, we should kill them all!"
