I reign supreme in the Western fantasy world for eternity.

The power of fire is suppressed by the World Tree, but the Holy Sword is not part of this system.

The passage blocked by giant logs was as fragile as paper before the holy sword.

Ji Tian casually swung his sword, and those thick, python-like wooden branches snapped off at the root.

He beckoned everyone to follow, and behind the door, the water shimmered, revealing that the power of the water was indeed gone.

Evan has already taken it.

"You can't kill me, so you've come to become mine?"

Layer upon layer of sounds, like illusory bubbles, surged in from all directions simultaneously.

Ji Tian looked up and around, and saw a figure floating in mid-air not far away.

He is no longer in the form of a human being, nor even in the form of a tree.

His limbs had melted away, merging with the wooden branches that grew from his back and shoulders. Four orbs of light of different colors pulsed slowly in his chest cavity, like four intertwined hearts.

His facial features were still Evan's, with a fixed and eerie curve at the corner of his mouth, giving him a very human-like appearance.

Ji Tian was too lazy to reason with Evan, who was controlled by his inner demons. He took a step forward and slashed horizontally with his holy sword.

As the sword flashed, a gap was cleaved open in the entire sea of ​​water droplets, and golden holy light tore through the darkness like tearing silk!

Evan mimicked his movements, using the longsword conjured by the Authority of Light to retaliate.

The two sword lights collided, their sword energy crisscrossing.

Ji Tian followed closely behind, and his second sword strike had already landed.

Flames swept through, and crimson light exploded in the void, evaporating the water droplets into white mist.

With the blessing of the wind-elemental authority, his figure became a blur, appearing in front of Evan in an instant and piercing him through with a single sword strike.

Of course, Ji Tian did not expect this sword strike to kill Him.

As expected, Evan's body disintegrated like sand scattered by the wind, turning into countless golden specks of light that drifted in all directions. After drifting several feet away, the specks of light reassembled and formed Evan's figure.

"I told you, you can't kill me."

Ji Tian's second sword strike followed.

The three powers of wind, fire, and earth operate simultaneously within him, pushing his speed and explosive power to the extreme.

The power of faith and authority of the Holy Sword intertwined around him, forming a constantly shrinking net of swords that continuously shredded, cut, and disintegrated Evan's form, yet each time it reformed itself after a few breaths.

Ten times, twenty times, fifty times.

His sword was getting faster and faster, but Evan's recovery was also getting faster and faster, and the interval between disintegration and reunion was shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Strangely, Evan didn't seem to have any intention of attacking Lilith and the others, as if he didn't care about the existence of these bystanders, which made Ji Tian less worried.

Lilith stood at the edge of the space, her purple eyes fixed on the light that kept exploding and reforming.

She saw that Ji Tian's movements were still swift and precise, but she also saw that the speed at which those points of light were reassembling was gradually exceeding the speed at which he shattered them.

That guy is actually adapting to Ji Tian's attacks!

"That's so unfair... This is just too unfair!"

Mia, equally frowning, asked the golden dragon beside her, "Little Flower, what do you think?"

"I'll stand and watch," Xiaohua replied somewhat helplessly, "This is beyond my comprehension."

In the brief interval between the next strike, Ji Tian sheathed his sword and took several steps back, finally getting a sense of his opponent's strength level.

It is a level stronger than the previous God of Industry, and Ji Tian cannot kill it in one fell swoop in his current state.

He needs to use a much stronger force.

Ji Tian raised the holy sword above his head, a golden halo emanating from the hilt, and said in a deep voice:

"Little Flower, take Lilith and Mia away from here, as far away as possible."

Lilith, clearly remembering something, exclaimed, "Master, are you going to use that move?"

"That's right, that's the move. I will unleash the Holy Sword, and its range will cover this entire space. You cannot stay here."

Mia knew she was only a hindrance here, so she quickly walked to Jinlong's side: "Little Flower, how far can you fly?"

Xiao Hua's vertical pupils swept over Ji Tian, ​​and she immediately lowered her body. "If the space here is stable enough, and we can create some distance, we definitely won't be affected."

Lilith stood still, her gaze fixed on Ji Tian's back, her breathing becoming rapid.

"master--"

"Don't worry, Lilith, let's go."

Lilith bit her lip, finally turned around, and ran towards the golden dragon.

Xiao Hua took to the air, and the airflow generated by her outstretched wings caused her long, silvery-white hair to curl backward.

She looked back.

Ji Tian remained standing in the same spot, his back to her.

The holy sword lay horizontally before him, its light gradually brightening, spreading from the hilt to the tip like a lit fuse.

"The Holy Sword—"

His voice echoed through the space.

Golden light burst forth from the sword, rising upwards like a pillar of light piercing the heavens and earth, turning the entire space into a dazzling golden ocean!

Golden light danced, collided, and exploded in the air, emitting a long, lingering hum that sent shivers down one's spine.

The light engulfed everything!

It was a light Lilith had never seen before, purer and more intense than any light she had ever seen before, almost scorching her vision.

Golden light patterns spread outwards from the holy sword, sweeping through the space like ripples, peeling away, crushing, and evaporating the surging dark purple light layer by layer.

At that moment, the field of vision lost its boundaries, leaving only an overwhelming sea of ​​golden light.

"untie--"

Lilith's body trembled violently, as if an invisible hand had gripped the edges of everything before her and torn it apart.

The rising sun, Evan's ferocious face, Ji Tian's posture of raising the holy sword—all the images were torn apart, reassembled, and pieced together again in the same instant.

She blinked.

He found himself standing next to the golden dragon.

Ji Tian stood not far in front of her, his back to her, the Holy Sword raised above his head, golden light just beginning to emanate from the hilt.

"Little Flower, take Lilith and Mia away from here, as far away as possible."

The moment those words left his mouth, Lilith already knew what was about to happen.

She didn't have time to think before she shouted.

"Wait a moment!"

Ji Tian stopped moving and turned to look at her.

Lilith was panting heavily, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead, her purple eyes reflecting the lingering golden light.

This appearance...

Ji Tian tentatively asked:

"You went back in time again?"

Lilith nodded vigorously, swallowed hard, and said, "You just tried to unleash the Holy Sword, but before you could finish the last word, I rewound."

There's another mechanism to kill?

Ji Tian frowned and asked:

"When did it rewind to?"

"When you just told Xiaohua to move further away."

"That's strange. It should be the same as before. Could the save point have been moved?"

Ji Tian slowly lowered the holy sword.

The golden light that was gathering receded from the sword like a receding tide, sinking back into the depths of the hilt.

"So, was the liberation of the Holy Sword successful?"

Lilith shook her head. "...I don't know. I turned around when you called out the word 'solve'."

"Then let's find another way to deal with him."
