I would rather betray the gods

Finally, after a heated negotiation between the ministers and Banlan, the king eagerly allocated the entire sacred altar to Banlan.

To prevent Banlan from going back on his word, he also held the national seal and signed an agreement with Banlan that he could not back out.

This was her strategy of feigning indifference to lure them in; from then on, no matter what they did there, the king had no right to interfere...

The altar is located on the summit of the main peak of the Altar Mountain.

Looking across the entire mountain range, each peak has a thick, old vine reaching straight to the clouds, a truly magnificent sight.

Banlan and his group naturally knew that those were the root systems of plants from the outside world.

This also resolved their doubts about why the inner demon could exist in this two-dimensional world where the energy was completely mismatched with the three-dimensional world (just now at the banquet, the general curiously tasted a piece of food, which melted in his mouth and was more ethereal than air).

The inner demons draw energy from the three-dimensional world through these roots.

Therefore, the many roots hanging down must be his claws and teeth protecting him.

"come out!"

At the foot of the mountain, Banlan shouted at the mountains.

The sound, aided by the power of the stars, echoed among the mountains.

Before long, the earth shook violently, and cocoon-like things burst out of the ground, hanging from a branch that looked like a wooden tube, swaying in the wind.

Looking around, the entire mountain range was covered with them, densely packed.

Then, the cocoons burst open one after another, and the demonic claws hidden inside emerged.

All kinds of demons and monsters are loyal followers of inner demons.

The entire black and white mountain range gained color because of their embellishment.

That's like stirring up a hornet's nest!

Banlan picked up a blade of grass and put it to her lips. She looked at the general and said, "Aren't there a few too few soldiers?"

The general drew his sword, pointed it towards the mountains, and said with a gleam in his eyes, "My lord, you just go to the altar, leave the rest to me!"

The two then went their separate ways.

The vibrant colors stand atop the [Galaxy Encounter], soaring straight towards the altar.

The military general led three thousand cavalry to slay the henchmen of the mountain demon.

【Galaxy Encounter】is an ancient artifact, serving as both a mount and a magical weapon. As it races towards the mountaintop, it continuously releases light, piercing and killing the demons that the colorful creature cannot attend to.

Even so, the sheer number of demons surrounding them was overwhelming, and many of them were highly skilled. Banlan struggled to move forward, encountering a horde of demons every few dozen meters.

|Immortal Technique - Starfall Flow Wall|

As a surge of stellar power appeared, a five-colored stream of light shot straight from the mountain to the altar, shattering everything in its path and instantly creating a long vacuum tunnel.

He was a military general. High in the air, he leaped down from the back of a celestial horse and, upon landing, casually cleaved a monster that was trying to ambush Banlan with a single stroke.

"Lord Banlan, now is the time."

At this moment, the generals were engrossed in their battle, and like Banlan just now, they had a blade of grass dangling from their mouths.

With a slight smile, Banlan stepped onto the [Galaxy Encounter] and rushed towards the altar along the vacuum belt.

Why is Lord Banlan playing so conservatively?

The military officer watched her departing figure and thought to himself.

Then, spitting out the foxtail grass from his mouth, he shouted to his men, "Men, we've had too much peace. Let's use the bodies of the enemy to polish the rust off our weapons!"

His words were like a shot of adrenaline, instantly igniting the three thousand cavalrymen, whose battle cries resounded throughout the heavens and the earth.

Amidst the fierce battle and the sparks flying from the collision of countless stars, two perfectly intact silkworm cocoons hung before the altar, adorning it like two lanterns.

Banlan knew that this was the strongest force guarding the inner demon, and the creature inside wouldn't easily reveal itself unless absolutely necessary. She had been holding back her power precisely to deal with this kind of guardian.

Sure enough, when Banlan jumped off the [Galaxy Encounter], the [Galaxy Encounter] split into five small balls that floated behind Banlan. As Banlan approached the altar step by step, the two cocoons broke open one after another.

Those who jumped out of the cocoon were all women, one in red and one in green.

The woman in red held a longbow, while the woman in green carried a giant hammer three times her own size.

"It's been so long since I've seen you two sisters. So you've been hiding here, barely surviving." Banlan recognized them immediately.

In the final battle a thousand years ago, they were the flower spirits of their respective camps. Just like the fierce battles between men, they had long wanted to defeat each other and prove that they were the strongest flower spirits.

Unfortunately, the ever-changing battlefield did not give them the opportunity for a one-on-one duel.

At this moment, an opportunity unexpectedly arrives, and the regret of a thousand years will finally come to an end.

So from the very beginning, there were no extra words between them. They started walking slowly towards each other, gradually quickened their pace, and finally sprinted toward one another.

|One Arrow to Heaven|

The woman in red took the initiative and fired an arrow.

The arrow was as fast as light, tearing through the air and leaving a trail of afterimages in the two-dimensional world.

With a wave of her hand, Banlan sent two of the five balls flying out from behind her. The two balls spun and sandwiched the arrow, drawing it away and causing it to explode far away, sending up huge plumes of smoke.

|Immortal Arts - Savage Star Hammer|

The woman in green then swung the giant hammer around once before throwing it out.

The giant hammer spun like a wild horse and struck at Banlan.

Banlan raised her hand, placing the remaining three balls in front of her palm to absorb and cushion the impact, before receiving the swift and powerful hammer blow.

Then the three balls, carrying the cushioning force, exploded elsewhere to release the energy.

Before the giant hammer could fall to the ground naturally, the woman in green rushed forward, grabbed the handle of the hammer, and began to fight Banlan in close combat.

The woman in red followed closely behind.

Subsequently, the five colorful balls returned one after another to help the colorful ones fight against the red and green sisters.

For a time, the two sides were evenly matched, fighting back and forth.

The scene appears calm on the surface because they are at the same level, but in reality, danger lurks everywhere.

Every move and stance from both sides carried the force of a comet crashing down, each strike a deadly blow!

After a hundred rounds, Banlan finally realized that she couldn't fight off four opponents with her bare hands and had to retreat first.

When she landed backwards, a wound appeared on her cheek, and blood slowly flowed down.

It's clear that once the arrow is released, there's no turning back; even if you want to withdraw, you have to overcome countless dangers.

Banlan looked terrible after suffering the loss. She glanced sideways at the wound on her face, then turned her gaze to the twin sisters, a cold glint in her eyes.

Seeing this, the two sisters became quite pleased with themselves.

But soon, an invisible wave swept in all directions, like a surging undercurrent in the deep sea, and the two of them couldn't help but put away their smugness.

The rage of Banlan forced them to reassess their current battle; they were not facing ordinary people, but high-ranking gods!

"You don't use your full strength because you've been living here for so long that you're too weak to exert your full power."

I didn't use my full power because the world couldn't withstand it.

Unbeknownst to them, their colorful eyes had been veiled in a blue light.

The constantly erupting starlight caused her long hair to flutter.

With each step she took, a layer of ice crystals condensed on the sky above her head, the earth beneath her feet, and even in the distant heavens and earth.

Seeing this, the woman in green, carrying a giant hammer, stepped forward first.

"Let me handle things, sister." With just one gesture, the woman in red understood the woman in green's intentions, showing their deep sisterly bond.

"Sister, look at this world. Do you think we still have time to argue about these things?"

Don't forget the wizard's prophecy from a thousand years ago: your bow will pierce the Pisces God King.

"Take Lord Inner Demon away from here, and I'll try my best to buy you as much time as possible."

The woman in green glanced back at the woman in red, smiled slightly, and then swung her giant hammer at Banlan.

Just as Banlan said, the two of them were very weak, so she knew that the only way to resist Banlan's full power was to sacrifice one of them and give the other time to escape with her inner demons.

The woman in red didn't even have time to say anything.

Looking at her younger sister rushing forward, her expression slowly changed from regret to coldness and hatred.

Without much hesitation, she leaped and flew towards the altar in the opposite direction.
