Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

The eerie blue beams of light shot from the Spirit King's three vertical pupils, like spider silk, instantly clung to Xia Jin's body and limbs, attempting to completely imprison him in place.

His goal was very simple: to stall Xia Jin and allow Chi Ji to retrieve the secret treasure from the temple.

This is their only chance of winning!

At the same time, the other eight alien kings were not idle either. The moment Chi Ji set off to leave, they all attacked Xia Jin at the same time.

The Aurora King transformed into light once more, unleashing a "Aurora Annihilation Slash" that slashed down at Xia Jin with world-destroying power.

A corner of the black coffin behind the Corpse King Qinghun was opened, and the black corpse energy also wrapped around Xia Jin.

The Yaksha King transformed into a dense cloud of blood mist, unleashing countless world-destroying blood spears.

The remaining Stone King, Black King, and other alien kings also unleashed their unique skills, bombarding Xia Jin in unison. The spiritual energy above Tianyou City was instantly drained, and the entire city began to shake violently at that moment.

"My lord!! Be careful!!" Upon seeing this, the White Ape King, who had been smiling mockingly, felt a chill run down his spine, his fighting spirit surging, and he was about to make a move.

However, before he could make a move, Xia Jin's calm and unwavering eyes swept over him indifferently.

"Don't worry about me, these useless trash can't do anything to me! You three take your men and go take over the alien territory immediately."

The White Ape King looked at Xia Jin, somewhat worried, but gritted his teeth and growled, "Alright!!"

He then turned around and flew towards the direction of Blackwing King and Nine-Headed King without hesitation.

Blackwing King and Nine-Headed King exchanged a glance, and an uncontrollable ecstasy flashed in each of their eyes.

With the eight alien kings held back by Xia Jin, the entire alien territory was leaderless. How could those alien powerhouses who had not even reached the Saint Realm stop the three top demon kings from joining forces to sweep through?

The nine heads tattooed on the Nine-Headed King's neck seemed to come alive, rising simultaneously and emitting a low, hoarse laugh. The Black-Winged King spread its wings, its sky-covering black feathers whipping up a fierce gale.

The two bowed respectfully in Xia Jin's direction in unison.

"Yes, sir! I will certainly fulfill my mission!"

Before the words were finished, the three demon kings, White Ape King, Black Wing King, and Nine-Headed Serpent King, transformed into three streaks of light and soared into the sky. They led 100,000 elite demons behind them like a black tide, sweeping towards the heart of the alien territory outside Tianyou City with murderous intent.

This scene naturally caught the eye of Aurora King and the others.

Black King Jiekui's eyes widened as he roared at the others, "They're going to take advantage of the situation!!"

Even without his reminder, the other six alien kings naturally saw this scene as well, but what could they do about it?

They didn't even have the slightest thought to stop Xia Jin, because Xia Jin was like a huge abyss in front of them. Without getting past Xia Jin, they couldn't possibly stop the White Ape King and the others.

"I just heard you say that there's some kind of secret treasure that can suppress me?"

Xia Jin watched as the eight alien kings, each going all out to stop her, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her tone tinged with amusement.

"Are you all trying to stall me for time so that guy Chiji can retrieve the secret treasure?"

A flash of seven-colored light appeared in his eyes, and the layer of dark blue beams wrapped around his body was completely annihilated.

At this moment, the Spirit King seemed to have suffered a severe blow, and spat out a mouthful of golden blood.

The combined attack of Aurora King and the others also seemed to hit a wall of rules when they were only three zhang away from Xia Jin. They were all wiped out on the spot by a strange force and disappeared into thin air.

This scene was like a bucket of ice water being poured over one's head and toes in the eyes of the eight alien kings.

The muscles of the Black King Jie Kui, wrapped in black cloth, were taut. For the first time, fear appeared in his exposed eyes. If he hadn't been representing an alien race, he probably would have wanted to leave immediately.

He looked at the Aurora King anxiously, "Aurora King, what do we do?! Our attacks are completely ineffective against him! If this continues, I'm afraid we'll all perish here before Crimson Halberd can retrieve that secret treasure from the temple!"

Aurora King's face was also ashen, and his pale golden pupils trembled violently.

He knew perfectly well that their attacks had absolutely no effect on the purple-haired youth.

But what can he do when faced with an opponent who may have already reached the legendary mythical realm?

King Aurora remained silent, while the other eight alien kings stood like wooden figures, staring blankly at the arrogant Xia Jin.

But amidst this deathly silence, Xia Jin, the person involved, suddenly chuckled softly.

"What! Why don't you continue your attack? Do you know you can't defeat me, so you're planning to give up and wait to die?"

He looked at the ashen-faced figures opposite him and couldn't help but sneer.

"Don't worry." Xia Jin slowly withdrew her raised hand, and the seven-colored light dissipated. "I won't deal with you immediately. Didn't you just mention some kind of secret treasure? I happen to want to see what's so special about what you're talking about."

He raised his head, his gaze thoughtfully fixed on the faintly visible temple deep within the City of Heavenly Darkness.

"Listen! I'm giving you half a quarter of an hour to have Chi Ji bring you that secret treasure."

"If the goods haven't arrived in half an hour, then don't blame me for not giving you that chance."

"When that time comes, I will kill you all first, and then I will personally go and retrieve that secret treasure."

"you!!"

Upon hearing Xia Jin's teasing words, Aurora King's face instantly turned bright red, and he almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.

But he forced a deep breath, then sneered at Xia Jin.

"Very good! But I hope you won't regret it in the end!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he abruptly turned his head towards the direction of the temple and sent a divine thought: "Crimson Halberd!! Quickly seize the treasure!! You only have a quarter of an hour!"

At this very moment, the figure of the Supreme Saint Crimson Halberd had already passed through numerous restrictions and stepped into the secret hall deepest within the Holy Temple.

The place was practically empty, except for a finger bone, its entire body shrouded in dense black energy, lying quietly on a black altar in the very center.

The finger bone was no longer than a normal person's finger, yet it exuded an ancient aura that made heaven and earth tremble, as if it had been peeled off from some terrifying being across countless years.

Even a mere fragment of bone contains enough power to make all living beings bow down.

Chi Ji, the fastest and strongest among the eight kings of the alien race, felt a bone-chilling cold the moment he first touched that finger bone.

He instinctively took a half step back, and the wings behind him involuntarily unfurled: "This...this is probably a finger bone left behind by a being of the Mythical Realm! Before our Emperor fell into slumber, he left behind such a terrifying object."

"Perhaps, as the Spirit King said, this finger bone can be used to forcibly restrain that bastard for a while!!"

Chi Ji gritted his teeth, unleashing his Saintly power. Eight blood seals of different colors shot up from his body, hurtling towards the black finger bone on the altar.

The moment the eight blood seals merged into the finger bone, the entire temple shook violently, and a pressure surpassing the Saint Realm erupted from that finger bone.

Immediately afterwards, the black energy surged and condensed wildly, and a blurry phantom slowly rose from the finger bone.

Although the phantom's face was blurry, the mere appearance of its outline was enough to make even Chi Ji, a mid-stage Saint Realm cultivator, feel his knees go weak under its pressure.

"Finally, someone has awakened the true self? Hahahaha!!!"

The phantom slowly opened its eyes. It glanced indifferently at the Crimson Halberd not far away, then slowly raised its gaze, piercing through layers of void, as if looking at the purple-haired youth standing with his hands behind his back above the City of Heavenly Nether.

At this moment, the entire world was eerily silent.
