Array Eye Number One, Ao Shengs clone in position.

Array Eye Number One, theyre here! I see Frost Ferret, Xu Xiaoshou, and another woman she seems familiar. Ill check.

Array Eye Number One, theyve stopped above the cliff. Im currently below Black Water Stream. Hallmaster Dao. Let me challenge them to test the waters!

Vermilion Bird Range, Yu Zhiwen in position. Ao Sheng, please return. Xu

Xiaoshou isnt someone you can handle alone.

White Tiger Range, Xi, in position! Ao Shengs clone, please wait for reinforcements. Do not attempt to face them alone

Array Eye Number One, Im out! Frost Ferret cant take me down. I wield the power of the Rock Upanishad. Ill delay them until reinforcements from red and white-clothed people arrive.

White Tiger Range, Xi, in position! Ao Shengs clone, please wait

What was that sound?

Hmm? Whats happened? Was that an explosion?

White Tiger Range, Xi, in position! Everyone, remember to report in before speaking, or itll be too chaotic Array Eye Number One, report in! Array Eye Number One, report in!

Sizzle White Tiger Range, Xi, in position! Speak, Ao Shengs clone!

Sizzle

White Tiger Range, Xi, in position! Ao Sheng, whats happening? Speak!

After these two inquiries, the communication channel of the Heavenly Group fell silent.

Everyone awaited the words of Ao Shengs clone, who had gone out for a test. But at this moment, even Ao Sheng himself remained silent.

On the Azure Dragon Range, atop the Azure Dragon Golden Tower.

Ao Sheng, the newly appointed Spirit Division Chief, suddenly convulsed. His eyes bulged, veins pulsating on his forehead, and blood spurted from his seven orifices.

Ahh!!!

Clutching his head, he let out a piercing scream, his body contorting in agony like a boiled shrimp, rolling down from the towers peak.

Cras.h.i.+ng thunderously onto the ground, he writhed with his head in his hands, as if suppressing unimaginable pain.

Despite the heavy breaths, he gritted his teeth, unwilling to release even a hint of a cry, except for that sharp scream earlier.

But that single scream

None in the Heavenly Groups communication channel were deaf; everyone heard it!

White Tiger Range, Xi, in position. Ao Sheng, speak! Did you hear that? Vermilion Bird Range, Yu Zhiwen in position. Ao Sheng, are you alright?

Beneath the Azure Dragon Golden Tower, Ao Sheng activated his communicator but quickly moved it away. After coughing up blood, he brought it closer.

His eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, his expression gruesome, yet his tone was oddly calm:

Azure Dragon Range, this is Ao Sheng.

No major issues occurred, he continued, My dragon clone well, perished in battle. There are three opponents cough.

The Heavenly Groups communication channel fell silent once more.

White Tiger Range, Xi, in position. Ao Sheng, why is your speech so intermittent?

Vermilion Bird Range, Yu Zhiwen in position. He might have suffered a backlash?

White Tiger Range, Xi, in position. Ao Sheng, dont force it. Youre currently the only one who has encountered Xu Xiaoshou. Quickly report his information, dont omit anything.

Beneath the Azure Dragon Golden Tower, Ao Sheng wiped the blood from his eyes, gazing into the distant sky with a hint of dread.

Swallowing hard, he felt better as the elixirs effects eased his pain. With difficulty, he said:

I am Ao Sheng. My clone has fallen in battle.

Xu Xiaoshou used a special technique. There was no spiritual source fluctuation, yet he instantly drained my dragon clones power of the Dragon Pearl and energy reserve spiritual source.

He definitely possesses the power to kill a higher void-level being!

Xi! Your Transformation Divisions intelligence is severely lacking. I was nearly killed by your negligence. Without the knowledge of a demi-saint, no one can stop Xu Xiaoshou!

So, how did you die? Xis voice echoed.

Ao Shengs body trembled. He not only drained my spiritual source but also sucked away my dragon clone I, I lost control

And then? Yu Zhiwens voice chimed in.

Then

Ao Sheng, be mindful of what you say now; it concerns the lives of countless people in the Holy Divine Palace. Xis voice grew solemn. While we regret the sacrifice of your clone, his sacrifice was not in vain. We urgently need the most accurate firsthand information about Xu Xiaoshou.

Ao Sheng stood before the Azure Dragon Golden Tower, silently listening. His gaze was incredibly hollow.

Gazing into the distance, his mind magnified the image of Xu Xiaoshous finger pressing against his forehead.

His future nightmares would likely revolve around that moment of mental collapse.

After a brief movement of his lips, Ao Sheng spoke, Xu Xiaoshou used a single finger

Did he employ that special spiritual technique capable of killing the soul of G.o.d? Or some other Saint Martial Arts, like the Ten Sections of the Finger Sword? Xi speculated when no further details were given.

No. Ao Sheng suddenly felt irritated. unable to articulate the inexplicable.

Ao Sheng! Speak! Was your spirit defeated along with your clone? Xis voice became increasingly intense.

Shut up! Youre too noisy! Ao Sheng roared, Xu Xiaoshou didnt use any spiritual technique; he just used a finger!

And then? Xi also grew angry. Where was the rest of the information? How could someone withhold crucial information after a sacrifice?

Thats it! Ao Shengs rage was ready to burst from his eyes, d.a.m.n you Silence! Hallmaster Daos voice abruptly intervened.

Xi, stop asking. There might be no further then, Yu Zhiwens voice rang out simultaneously, as she too realized something..
