Reversing Falsehood and Preserving Truth: All Gods and Gods Are in My Hands

Lu Yu's figure rushed into the battlefield like a streak of light, with pale gold, cyan, and pale green halos flowing harmoniously around him, seamless and without any trace of the previous conflict or stagnation.

That surging yet condensed energy fluctuation, like a pebble thrown into stagnant water, instantly shattered the stalemate in the battle.

"Lu Yu?!"

Chen Mo was the first to notice. The already dim vertical lines of insight in his eyes suddenly lit up due to the familiar yet more powerful and harmonious energy fluctuations, but then quickly withered due to excessive consumption.

That momentary lapse in concentration had an immediate and obvious cost.

From the side, a fanged phantom with a ferocious glint in its crimson eyes tore through the air with its claws, sending a corrosive, foul stench straight at Chen Mo's back! It was too late to dodge.

"Be careful!"

As soon as Shen Che's reminder came out, Lu Yu's mind raced.

"Sleepy!"

A low shout, not uttered from the mouth, but resonated with the Great Dao. Azure-blue array power surged forth with a thought, instantly outlining profound runes in the void behind Chen Mo.

hum!

Runes flashed, and countless tenacious cyan vine phantoms appeared out of thin air. Though not physical, they contained powerful array-like binding force, like serpents emerging from their holes, precisely coiling towards the joints of "Fang's" limbs. The phantom's attack suddenly faltered, its claws stopping less than half a foot from Chen Mo's back, unable to advance any further.

At the same time, Lu Yu moved.

The powerful physical strength granted by the Spirit Plant Returning to Origin Body erupted, and his feet moved as if treading on a breeze. In the blink of an eye, he had already covered several feet, so fast that he left only a faint afterimage in the air.

He concentrated a pale golden power at his fingertips, and a "Void-Breaking Blade" that was as solid as if it were cast from real gold, with sharp edges that could tear through illusions, was already in his hand.

"Pfft—!"

The sensation of a sharp blade piercing through flesh was clearly felt. The Void-Breaking property erupted instantly, and the "fangs" only had time to let out half a mournful howl before its massive body convulsed violently and crashed to the ground, turning into wisps of dissipating illusory black mist, leaving only a mess on the ground.

Instant kill! Clean and efficient.

Chen Mo stood there, stunned, staring at Lu Yu's back as he sheathed his sword and stood tall, his eyes filled with unsettling shock.

Is this the power after the conflict of the Great Dao has been completely resolved? It's like a completely different person!

Shen Che, caught in the midst of the fierce battle, suddenly turned around and sensed the surging, harmonious energy fluctuations. A deep emotion flashed across his cold face.

Outside the cave, Su Wan, whose injuries were being stabilized under Liu Jiaqi's healing light, immediately sensed the return of that warm and powerful familiar aura through her spiritual power. A sliver of color instantly returned to her pale face, and a glimmer of hope shone in her weak eyes.

"Haha! Lu Yu! You're finally back!"

Lying to the side, Zhao Lei was so excited that he wanted to pound the ground, but this aggravated his severe chest injury, causing him to grimace in pain. However, he still grinned, his eyes filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a disaster.

"Captain Shen, Chen Mo!" Lu Yu's voice was steady and reassuring. "I'm here to help you!"

"Watch out! That one standing upright like a bear is 'Solid Wall,' at least a five-star strength, and its defense is even stronger! That one resembling a wolf is 'Fang,' about a four-star, but incredibly fast!"

Despite the dizziness caused by the excessive consumption of his insight power, Chen Mo spoke rapidly to fill in the information gap for Lu Yu, but the vertical lines in his eyes had dimmed to the point of almost going out, and his figure swayed slightly, clearly reaching his limit.

Shen Che didn't say much, his Shadow Hunting power surging, and he tacitly adjusted his offensive strategy, shifting from main attack to containment, creating an opportunity for Lu Yu. The Shadow Hunting Battle Spirit condensed again, its blood-red eyes flashing, its twin blades flying, tightly binding a "Solid Wall" and preventing it from returning to help.

At this moment, on the other side of the battlefield.

Lin Yue gritted his teeth and pushed his control over the wood to its limit. Countless emerald green vines did not attack in a scattered manner, but quickly intertwined and condensed, eventually transforming into a giant wooden figure three meters tall, full of life! Although the wooden figure was not as agile as a real person, its steps were steady, and its arms were like giant pestles, forcefully blocking the attack of a "fang".

This is a new ability he gained after receiving a reward in the Shennong Secret Realm. Even if the wooden figure is damaged, new vines can instantly grow from the damaged areas, allowing it to continue fighting as if it were immortal.

Zhao Changfeng remained irritable, yet possessed a cunning that contrasted with his personality.

Pale blue wind blades gathered around him, and he moved quickly under the cover of the wooden figure. His figure was elusive at the edge of the battlefield. Each appearance was accompanied by a sharp sound of wind breaking. The wind blades accurately slashed at the eyes, joints and other weak points of "Fang", hitting the mark every time and completely limiting "Fang's" speed advantage.

Seeing this, Lu Yu's mind raced, and he made a decision in an instant.

He pressed his hands lightly on the ground, and the blue-green array power surged out. It was no longer a simple, instantaneous array, but a profound array diagram that quickly spread out on the ground, covering half of the battlefield, with him as the center!

"Eight Trigrams Formation - Rest Gate, Steady!"

A semi-transparent, misty blue light instantly enveloped them, and a warm, life-giving energy surged into their bodies, relieving their pain.

Next, "The Eight Trigrams Formation - Gate of Life, Continued!"

A burst of pale green light patterns erupted, transforming into countless light threads that drew in the energy of heaven and earth, forming an energy vortex above everyone's heads to rapidly replenish what they had consumed.

Finally, "Eight Trigrams Formation - Gate of Injury, Break!" Crimson light patterns surged like raging fire, and countless sharp rays swirled around Lu Yu, pushing the sharpness of the Void-Breaking Blade to its limit.

"Director Shen, to the left!"

With a deep shout, Lu Yu leaped to the left in front of "Firm Wall".

The combination of the Injury Gate's defense-breaking properties and the tearing power of the Void-Breaking Blade caused a pale golden light to slash down, directly cutting through the metallic texture of the "Solid Wall." The dark golden Dao patterns instantly shattered, and illusory fluid gushed out.

At the same time, Shen Che cooperated perfectly, transforming into a black whirlwind and piercing the same wound as the Shadow Hunter's twin blades. Shadow power surged in through the breach, and "Iron Wall" let out an unwilling howl. Its massive body crashed heavily to the ground like a collapsing mountain and a jade pillar, and then fell silent.

The two humans and one spirit worked together seamlessly, and the remaining ethereal spirits were quickly driven to the brink of despair.

The last "fang" was struck simultaneously by Lu Yu's Void-Breaking Blade, Shen Che's Shadow-Hunting Blade, and the Shadow-Hunting Battle Spirit's Shadow Twin Blades. Its body was cut into several pieces, and the illusory liquid and the shattered Dao patterns dissipated together.

The Shadow Hunter's form swayed for a moment, then vanished again as specks of shadow. Shen Che was panting heavily, cold sweat beading on his forehead. Even under the nourishment of the Rest Gate and Life Gate, the prolonged burst of full power had depleted his energy, making it difficult to recover in a short time.

The illusory aura dissipated after the death of those ethereal spirits was immediately drawn into the Hundred Herbs Cauldron within Lu Yu's dantian, transforming into wisps of black energy that surged into the cauldron. The spiritual field within the cauldron glowed faintly, rapidly refining the illusory aura and transforming it into pure energy to nourish Lu Yu, ensuring he remained at his peak condition.

On the other side of the battlefield, the last remaining black-clad armed man, seeing the situation was dire, turned and retreated towards the stone gate, only to be intercepted by Zhao Changfeng and Lin Yue, who had already outflanked him. Zhao Changfeng cut off his retreat with a wind blade, while Lin Yue's vines instantly wrapped around his limbs, pinning him firmly to the ground.

"Capture him alive and interrogate him!" Shen Che strode forward, his eyes cold.

Before he could finish speaking, the man in black suddenly let out a sinister laugh and gritted his teeth. Lu Yu's pupils contracted sharply. Just as he was about to stop him, a loud "boom" was heard. A ball of fire exploded in front of the man in black's chest. The shockwave from the grenade shattered the vines, and the man was instantly reduced to a bloody mess, leaving no chance for interrogation.

"not good!"

Chen Mo suddenly shouted, the observation line lighting up for the last time, scanning behind the stone door, "There's no one inside! The base is empty!"

Clearly, the other side was prepared and had completely withdrawn while they were engaged in fierce fighting, leaving only these enhanced phantoms and armed personnel to cover their retreat.

Almost at the same time that everyone noticed the abnormality, an ominous dark red light suddenly emanated from the depths of the base, and the entire cave began to shake violently, more violently than any tremor before.

"Get out of here! The cave is collapsing!"
