Over the Central Region's sky.

It was calm and peaceful.

There were no clouds for miles around.

Suddenly, three rifts appeared in the sky, and three figures with immense pressure from their biological level burst forth from the cracks.

It was Qi Qingmo, Sea God, and Su Meixiao.

"Sima Xuan, Elder Li, come out!"

The moment Su Meixiao emerged, she looked down at a lake below and shouted.

The tranquil surface of the lake started to ripple without any wind, and circles of ripples slowly spread out from the center, forming regular concentric rings.

Then, three figures emerged from the center of the rings, breaking through the surface of the water.

To the naked eye, one was a middle-aged man in his early forties, another was an elderly man over sixty, and the last was a woman in her thirties.

But this was only in appearance; in reality, each of them was at least a thousand years old.

Because they all radiated a biological pressure that was extremely oppressive, their strength was no less than that of Su Meixiao and Sea God, and on par with the strongest among them, Qi Qingmo.

With such strength, their ages were destined not to be small.

"It's actually the three of you?"

Seeing the trio who had broken through the water, Qi Qingmo couldn't help but raise her delicate eyebrows, a touch of surprise crossing her stunning face.

The three also recognized Qi Qingmo.

The woman in the middle—Xuanyuan Wanyu—remarked somewhat sentimentally, "I really didn't expect you, you crazy woman, to have survived through the Spiritual Energy depletion of the Age of Dusk. It seems you've successfully adapted to this new era."

"And how exactly did the three of you make it through?"

Qi Qingmo asked, her tone cool as she looked at the familiar trio, showing no concern for the recent reference to her as a "crazy woman."

The three individuals before her were powerhouses from the same era as her.

In those days, they were all known as Immortals.

They stood at the pinnacle of their epoch as Mythical Level Creatures.

"We survived by changing our cultivation system."

The woman answered nonchalantly, without any secrecy: "We shifted from the Spiritual Energy system to the Origin Force system, and that's how we gradually adapted to this new era."

Hearing this, Qi Qingmo couldn't help but be curious, "How did you manage to shift your cultivation system?"

Her adaptation to this new era relied on the Pureblood Human Path.

It was through the absorption and refinement of living beings from the Origin Land that she replenished her energy.

The woman just smiled at Qi Qingmo's question and didn't respond.

It was a method she had taken many epochs to explore and would not be shared casually with Qi Qingmo without any cost.

Just as she was about to propose a deal with Qi Qingmo for sharing the method of changing the system—

"Hiss-slash!"

"Hiss-slash!"

"Hiss-slash!"

"Hiss-slash!"

A series of sounds of tearing air arose.

Behind the crowd, four massive rifts suddenly appeared.

Then, four figures with powerful biological pressure emerged from them.

The newcomers were none other than Elder Tree, Lord of Silence, Night King, and Flower God—these four Mythical Level Creatures.

Upon their arrival, these four Mythical Level Creatures saw the three of Sima Xuan, Elder Li, and Xuanyuan Wanyu from Earth and immediately frowned, as if they were facing a fierce enemy.

What had been a four-versus-three situation abruptly turned into four versus six, the advantage flipping completely in an instant.

"Go!"

Night King shouted loudly.

Before his voice had fully faded, he had already vanished in a flash, tearing a huge rift behind him to escape.

Seeing this, Elder Tree, Lord of Silence, and Flower God hesitated not even for a moment and quickly tore open a massive rift behind them as well, intending to flee with Night King.

"Think you can escape?"

The white-haired and white-bearded Elder Li, as he spoke, flicked his wrist and sent out a rune-covered bone disk.

The moment the bone disk left his hand, it transformed into a giant void cage, completely sealing off the region it enveloped and forbidding passage to any living beings.

Under the confinement of the void cage, the four fleeing Mythical Level Experts were all blocked.

The rifts they had opened in the void were prohibited by the void cage, unable to breach the emptiness for transport.

"Kill him with all your might, break the cage!"

Elder Tree reacted swiftly. Seeing that he and his companions were trapped by the void cage and couldn't escape, he immediately decided to strike at Elder Li.

The void cage before them had been unleashed by Elder Li.

If they killed Elder Li, there was a high probability that the void cage could be broken.

Though it was four against six, if their goal was not a complete victory but to kill an opponent quickly and then escape the battlefield, they had a good chance of success.

Following Elder Li's call, Lord of Silence, Night King, and Flower God all turned direction and charged at Elder Li.

Elder Li had anticipated this, already distancing himself and seeking refuge behind Qi Qingmo and the others to protect himself.

The other five, seeing their opponents coming at them, also opened fire to resolve this battle of the few against the many as swiftly as possible.

Among them, Qi Qingmo had a clear target; her Blood Qi Power burst forth, and she ferociously attacked Night King.

She had had conflicts with Night King before, and now was the perfect opportunity to remove the threat beforehand.

"Boom!"

A terror-inducing collision sound rang out.

Night King couldn't withstand Qi Qingmo's assault, and with just a simple strike, Qi Qingmo sent him hurtling down from the sky.

"Save me!"

Night King screamed to his companions above, his eyes filled with fear.

Hearing his cry, Elder Tree, Lord of Silence, and Flower God all ignored his call for help, focusing solely on Elder Li, each wanting to quickly kill him and then flee the scene.

As for Night King's life, if he died, he died.

One death was better than all perishing together.

Under the cold indifference of Elder Tree, Lord of Silence, and Flower God,

Soon.

A loud "boom" was heard.

The Night King, a creature at the Mythical Level, had his chest pierced through by a punch from Qi Qingmo, his heart and a copious amount of Essence Blood flying out from within, only to be captured by Qi Qingmo's hand and instantly refined into Blood Qi Power that was absorbed to the last bit.

Then another "boom" resounded.

The head of the Night King was also blown apart with a punch, and a vast amount of Origin Force escaped from his Sea of Consciousness, dispersing aimlessly in all directions.

But just as it started to disperse, it was sucked into a spherical shape by a strong pull, eventually condensing into a deep blue water orb that landed in Qi Qingmo's Jade Hand.

Then, brought to her lips, it was swallowed whole, refined into energy for her own use.

"Boom!"

That familiar sound rang out once more.

The remaining body of the Night King exploded into a fog of blood under Qi Qingmo's punch.

Under the influence of the suction force, the blood fog collapsed into a bright red Elixir, which Qi Qingmo then swallowed directly into her stomach, absorbing and refining it.

In an instant,

Heaven and earth underwent a transformation, and the wind and clouds surged violently.

As if it were the end of the world, the entire sky took on a shade of red similar to Essence Blood.

Then came thunder and lightning, howling wind, and raindrops the size of beans, tinted with the color of blood, that poured down and dyed the whole land red.

The mournful sound of the wind, the ceaseless rain of blood.

It was the heavens, the birthplace of all things, weeping for the demise of a Mythical Level creature, announcing the fall of a Mythical Level being with the most sorrowful wails and the most heartbreaking tears.

Elsewhere,

Elder Tree, Lord of Silence, and Flower God all noticed the fall of the Night King.

This Mythical Level Expert, who had dominated the edges of the Southern Domain for several Epochs, had no chance of reforming flesh and blood under the assault of Qi Qingmo.

There was no power to fight back.

In the blink of an eye, he fell in the skies above the Eastern Region.

Elder Tree, Lord of Silence, and Flower God all felt shocked and a touch of desperation at this scene.

It was this sliver of desperation that drove them to become even more frenzied, attacking Mr. Li desperately, without regard for their own lives.

Mr. Li, unable to fight against six hands with only two fists, almost perished completely, nearly becoming dust in the river of time.

Fortunately, the Sea God, Su Meixiao, Sima Xuan, Xuanyuan Wanyu, and other four Mythical Level Experts intervened in time, saving his life from being utterly extinguished by the completely mad Elder Tree, Lord of Silence, and Flower God.

And Elder Tree, Lord of Silence, and Flower God, who had just been attacking Mr. Li crazily, focusing solely on him without caring for anyone else, were now badly injured, plummeting from the sky in free fall.

While they were attacking Mr. Li, the Sea God and others were also attacking them.

Having withstood a barrage of attacks, their bodies were now riddled with wounds, unable to fight any longer, and could only helplessly watch as they continued to fall.

Just as the Sea God and the others were about to deliver the coup de grâce—

Among them, the Flower God, the most severely wounded, her graceful body suddenly covered with shocking cracks.

As soon as these cracks appeared, they rapidly spread like a spiderweb, covering her entire body.

Then, a myriad of green buds grew from the cracks, instantly enveloping the Flower God's delicate body.

The Sea God and the others noticed this unusual change on the body of the Flower God and immediately launched their most fierce attacks to exterminate her first, lest any unforeseen complications arise.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Mythical Level attacks of immense power poured down on the delicate body of the Flower God like rain.

Under such dense, high-intensity attacks, even Qi Qingmo, whose physical body was exceedingly strong, found it difficult to defend.

However, the Flower God, who had a relatively weaker physique in the same rank, was able to withstand it all.

No matter how powerful the attack, none could breach even a bit of defense upon Her delicate body.

The green sprouts on the surface of Her delicate body, brimming with boundless vitality, formed a layer of light green protective film.

Even the attacks of Mythical Level Experts failed to leave the slightest mark on the protective film.

"What's going on, what exactly is that green light film on the Flower God, and why can it completely block our attacks?"

The Sea God expressed his confusion.

The others around furrowed their brows, equally perplexed.

Especially Qi Qingmo, who was very aware of the destructive power of her own attacks, but at this moment, she was absolutely helpless against the layer of light film on the Flower God's delicate body, which made her somewhat doubt her life.

Just as everyone was completely baffled—

"Wood God, please save me!"

Elder Tree, rapidly descending, suddenly looked at the Flower God with excitement and cried out loud.

What He called out for was not the Flower God, but the Wood God.

At the moment His voice landed—

"Boom!"

The delicate body of the Flower God suddenly exploded, bursting forth with a large number of green roots and vines.

The moment the roots appeared, they shot towards the ground at the speed of light, penetrating the earth in succession, frantically absorbing nutrients.

With the supply of nutrients, both the roots and the vines swiftly grew thicker.

The vines, in particular, entwined in an orderly fashion, forming a thick trunk, turning into a towering tree that reached the heavens, thrusting into the clouds, sprouting branches and leaves, casting the entire Central Region into shadow.

"Wood God!" Su Meixiao's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, a hint of fear flashing in them: "It's actually the Wood God, one of the Five Elements God!"

Upon hearing this, the Sea God also showed fear.

The Five Elements God were the oldest deities in the Origin Land, and all Mythical Level Creatures in Origin Land had reached their status by standing on Their shoulders.

Ordinary Mythical Creatures were simply not on the same level as the Five Elements God.

"Quick, kill Elder Tree and the Lord of Silence, then leave immediately once they are down!"

Su Meixiao quickly returned to her senses from the fear and shouted, making the best decision for the current situation.

If they couldn't kill Elder Tree and Lord of Silence today, they feared they would never have the chance again.

Upon hearing this, Qi Qingmo and the others immediately went all out in attacking Elder Tree and the Lord of Silence, who were severely injured, intent on eliminating these two opposing Mythical Level Experts.

Regrettably, the moment they made their move—

"Hum!"

"Hum!"

"Hum!"

A sharp breaking sound suddenly erupted.
