The improved female villains regained their memories.

"You dare to defy the heavens and be so arrogant? I will fight you!" a divine beast shouted, ascending into the sky. It was serpentine in appearance, with four wings, and emitted a booming sound. It was called the Roaring Serpent.

Seeing the serpent's support, Thor and the Extinction Bird did not retreat but turned back to fight Wen Shihan.

Wen Shihan smiled coldly and unleashed his killing move, instantly transforming into dozens of Wen Shihans. More than ten Wen Shihans beat the three divine beasts, making them cry out in pain.

The three mythical beasts hiding in the shadows looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xuanwu muttered, "He's really strong."

White Tiger said, "Good, kill them all."

Suzaku: "Her combat power has increased again."

A chilling wind howled as Wen Shihan, single-handedly, overpowered three attacking divine beasts.

-------------

At this moment, the Guardian Heaven Sect is on the front lines of the battlefield.

Fang Wuyi struck Jiu Bahuang with a Soul-Destroying Palm, startling all the divine beasts present.

It's no wonder they aren't afraid; the Soul-Destroying Palm is a forbidden killing move, created by a certain eccentric genius during the Warring States period.

During the Warring States period, a wealth of talent emerged, and everyone was searching for the path to immortality. One person, however, specialized in cultivating the soul path. He neither submitted to the Immortal King nor cared about the common people, living a carefree life and calling himself the Hermit of the Scattered Souls.

He discovered that humans have three souls and seven spirits, and that targeting the souls directly is faster than attacking the body.

Therefore, he secluded himself for many years, studying numerous works from before the Warring States period, and combined them with inspiration from ancient times to create this deadly move called Soul-Destroying Palm.

This palm strike is extremely profound; it's not merely a simple soul-based killing move. The Soul-Scattered Hermit has incorporated elements of causality. If your soul is stronger than your opponent's, then once struck by your palm, their soul will inevitably be annihilated, leaving them with no means of defense. With a single strike, regardless of who the target is, once it hits, the soul is gradually and irreversibly destroyed.

It's called a taboo because if the other person's soul is stronger than yours, then the person whose soul dissipates becomes yourself.

This is a very clever and deadly move.

The souls of humans and beasts are all different and cannot be quantified. Moreover, with the passage of time, souls of different personalities and natures will also change. The Soul-Destroying Palm technique may seem like a gamble, but it is actually more like gambling.

You have to gamble, gamble that your soul is stronger than the other person's, otherwise you'll be the one who dies.

The Soul-Destroying Hermit made a wrong bet. In the final battle, he misjudged his opponent, and with one palm strike, he killed himself.

It is precisely because of these stringent conditions that this move is called a forbidden killing move.

Even so, there are still many people who admire it.

Why?

Because this move has no limitations, think about it: even if the opponent's cultivation is higher than yours, they have more magic weapons than you, and their killing moves are stronger than yours, but their soul is not as strong as yours. If they are hit by your palm strike, they will die a miserable death at your hands...

No one can resist this temptation.

Even if it's not used normally, it can be used as a last resort.

Because this killing move was so overpowered, it aroused the fear of many people at the time, and as a result, the prototype of the killing move suffered a devastating blow and was gradually lost.

No one expected that it would be used by the royal family, and not only that, it was used successfully.

Who is Jiu Bahuang? He is the only Qilin who has survived since ancient times. Even though he used his supernatural powers and his soul was split in two, these two souls have been washed by time. How could an ordinary True Immortal shake them?

But Fang Wu succeeded; the fact that this palm strike killed Jiu Bahuang is enough to prove it.

Jiu Bahuang's body remained still, but his soul dissipated, beyond saving.

The mythical beasts all realized this.

The three-legged crow cried out, and the surrounding temperature rose again. The royal immortals clearly felt that their spiritual energy was being depleted more rapidly. Under such high temperatures, they could probably dry out mortals in an instant.

However, Fang Wu remained unmoved. He looked coldly at the three-legged crow and struck out with another palm.

The three-legged crow was so frightened that it retreated, and as it retreated, all the mythical beasts also retreated.

The Soul-Destroying Palm technique is too terrifying. The mythical beasts have lived for a long time, and none of them want to be forced onto the gambling table.

Fang Wu stood beside Xu Weibang. At this moment, the royal retainers finally had a true leader.

"Fellow Daoist Fang Wu is truly impressive!"

"With no immortal friends among our own, what is there for the Heavenly Guardian Sect to fear?"

"The Qilin has died at the hands of Fellow Immortal Fang Wu. Now is the perfect time for us to crush the Guardian Heaven Sect!"

The royal morale was high; the deaths of Jiu Bahuang gave them real hope.

However, Fang Wu was not excited; instead, he looked at Xu Weibang.

"Your Majesty, please give the order."

The voices of the immortals faded, and everyone looked at the emperor—he remained calm, his eyes sweeping over the dead Nine-Eight Desolations before looking toward the gate of the Guardian Heaven Sect.

He said coldly, "Attack."

-------------

The Heavenly Guardian Sect's Cloud Dream Grand Array.

The portal to the space was opened by Li Chumo.

The first thing to arrive was a raging torrent of thunder.

That wasn't the thunder of the divine beast Thor, but rather an existence akin to the very embodiment of thunder. Thick dark clouds instantly covered the battlefield, and amidst the rolling thunder dragons, a silver-white figure appeared and disappeared.

The Weaver Girl saw it clearly, and with a single net, she covered the figure.

Luo Benmo slightly raised his eyes, without moving his hands, and unleashed a terrifying aura, shattering the net in the process.

Thousands of lightning bolts descended, turning into blood-red lightning in an instant.

She fused with the Blood Spirit Root without hesitation.

Crimson lightning roared, and the protagonist's side was completely suppressed.

Immediately afterwards, another person emerged from the portal.

Immortal Path Killer Move - Fire Spirit Double Sun Armor.

Immortal's ultimate move - Spirit Light Fire Boots.

Immortal's ultimate move - Great Sun Fire Ring.

Classic three-piece set.

The powerful flames blazed forth, entangled with thunder, overwhelming the protagonist.

Xu Anlu gripped her spear, her gaze fixed on Tian Bulian.

Li Chumo and Hua Yanshu stood side by side, while on the villain's side, there were four True Immortal-level combatants.

"Is this all the villains have in their attack on the Guardian Sect?" Ling Tianxin looked on, her heart slightly at ease.

“Luo Benmo and Xu Anlu have fought us many times, and they all have ways to counter their killing moves. They won’t be as difficult to deal with as before.”

"Li Chumo and Hua Yanshu are not yet familiar with each other's methods. Li Chumo also has mastery of the spatial laws, so it would be better to trap her first and then activate that."

Ling Tianxin silently calculated in her mind, pondering the way to victory.

"Calm down. The future of the villains attacking the Heavenly Guardian Sect has not yet arrived. It's just these few who are attacking."

"As the Cloud Dream Formation unfolds, our combat strength will increase. Once that's activated, we'll definitely..."

As she was thinking, she saw another person emerge from the portal in the image.

It was none other than Song Panning.

The blue sky transformed into a giant python, flicking its tongue, while she stood atop its head, her blue robe billowing, a smile on her face.

"What an impressive formation."

She smiled, holding a calligraphy brush in her hand—her magical artifact.

"Since that's the case, then let's break it."

With a casual gesture, the great formation trembled.

Ling Tianxin was furious: The person in charge of the lower realm's main formation isn't Song Panning, this girl actually dared to come here in person, has she gone mad?!

At this moment, at the foot of Five Elements Mountain.

Enveloped in endless darkness, Dionysus recalled scenes from his past.

Dusk, ruins, a man coughing up blood.

Dionysus stood before the man, his face gloomy.

The man laughed loudly: "The mighty Sword Immortal, would he show such an expression? Hehehehe, you really are a piece of trash. You should have understood from the moment you opposed that great man that you were destined to lose everything!"

"Your daughter was skinned alive and made into a human wind chime, your wife had her limbs cut off and thrown into the sea, and you, you can't do anything to the master, because you can't pinpoint the master's location, you can't break the master's killing move!"

"Back then, you were arrogant towards me on the dueling platform, calling me trash, but so what? With that person's protection, my family and my lover are all alive and well, while you, no matter how strong you are, are ultimately all alone and can't protect anything."

"Sword Immortal, did I say you were a piece of trash?!"

Chapter 574 Bloodbath Against the Heavenly Guardian Sect

Protector of Heaven Sect's Cloud Dream Array

They clashed head-on, neither side willing to give in.

The light of the immortal's killing move was mixed with blue, and there were booming sounds everywhere. Thunder and fire dominated and overwhelmed everything.

A large number of Void Beasts were mobilized, and in response, the Orcish Alliance, after both of their mechs were damaged, simply sent out their entire force to fight the Void Beasts.

boom!

Thunder roared, and with a deafening bang, the white silk net tore apart layer by layer. The Weaver Girl was seriously injured, and a large hole was blasted in her abdomen by the lightning.

Her face was deathly pale as she retreated while tending to her abdominal wound.

A strong wind blew in, and Gu Ziang appeared beside Luo Benmo with lightning speed, intending to assassinate her.

However, he couldn't even break through the lightning net surrounding Luo Benmo, and after a fierce battle, he was injured and forced to retreat.

Luo Benmo coldly surveyed the main characters, finally stopping on the person above the water curtain: "Luo Benqing, I never expected we would meet here."

Luo Benqing's eyes were filled with complex emotions; he didn't know how to face her: "Sister..."

Having stayed in the Heavenly Guardian Sect for a long time and been frequently taught about protecting the Heavenly Dao, he had long regarded himself as a guardian of the Heavenly Dao. When he heard Ling Tianxin say that her older sister was destroying the world, he did not know how to face her.
