Xu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Now that my Spiritual Power has restored, does that mean..."
As he reached the bank, preparing to step back into the Magma Flow Region, a sudden "Pfft!" sounded before him. The Abyssal Behemoth, roughly tens of meters in size, surged upwards from below, having evidently broken free from the suppression of the shattered rock walls!
Immediately after, another wave of scalding lava assailed him, cascading towards the diminutive figure of Xu Sheng below...
Xu Sheng, upon seeing this, was entirely expressionless on his face...
For him, now capable of utilizing Spiritual Power, it was but a simple matter of releasing his Spiritual Power and waving his hand to fend it off!
Afterward, the Abyssal Behemoth did not choose to leave and stood there in place, mere meters from Xu Sheng, yet it did not launch an attack, as if constrained by something...
Closely observing it, Xu Sheng pondered, "Is it unable to attack near the shore?"
Since this behemoth was guarding the path ahead, he certainly couldn't pass through here...
Moreover, he always had a hunch that once he re-entered the lava region, his Spiritual Power would be suppressed again!
With no other choice, he had to pin his hopes of departure on the treasures around...
Suddenly, a crystalline sphere in front, peacefully stationary and continuously emitting spatial ripples, instantaneously caught Xu Sheng's attention. Curiosity filled his dark eyes as he muttered, "What is this..."
He felt spatial fluctuations from within this crystal sphere, perhaps...
Thinking of the possibility, he quickly reached out to pick it up, scrutinized it closely for a moment, then slowly began to infuse it with some Spiritual Power...
With the infusion of Spiritual Power, the crystalline sphere erupted with a blinding pale blue light and began to tremble violently, emitting a continuous "buzzing" sound...
As a "Crack" sounded, the crystal sphere started to show faint cracks, which subsequently began to shatter bit by bit...
When it had completely broken apart, a massive space vortex suddenly appeared beside Xu Sheng...
The vortex's immense suction effortlessly swallowed him up, then began to fade away...
A moment later, peace returned to the space,
As if no one had ever entered...
...
On the other side, Lin Mo gasped for breath with urgency...
The three Lin Family Disciples hurried over, all eagerly asking, "Brother Mo, are you alright?"
Lin Mo shook his head and said with a cold sneer, "I'm fine. However, that Xu Peng is probably already blasted into pieces by that recent attack."
"So what if you forcibly broke through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm by exhausting your life essence, you still couldn't withstand the Family Head's attack, could you?"
The Xu Family Disciples are destined to be annihilated by our Lin Family's disciples today!
All they need to do is to pin the blame on the Wei Family afterward, and no one would suspect a thing!
Seeing Lin Mo full of vigor, the Lin Family Disciples finally breathed a sigh of relief...
"That scared me to death, I thought Brother Mo was going to be killed by that Xu Peng! Thank goodness you're fine!"
"Indeed! That guy was insane, to actually burn his life essence to forcibly reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm. If it weren't for the life-saving item given to you by Brother Mo, then..."
"No matter the process, Xu Peng is already dead, now it's just the rest of those stubborn Xu Family Disciples left!"
```
Hearing these words, Lin Mo's gaze turned towards the Xu Family disciples as he shouted coldly, "Disciples of the Xu Family, Xu Peng is already dead! You might as well stop struggling!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Xu Family disciples who were still putting up some resistance were all taken aback, their eyes widening in disbelief as they said, "What? How is this possible! If Brother Xu Peng burned his essence blood, his strength could have reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm! Why would he be dead!"
"Damn it, it must be the Lin Family using some disgraceful tactic; otherwise, how could Brother Xu Peng possibly be killed!"
"Damn you, Lin Family disciples! I'm going to fight to the death with you! We must avenge our fallen comrades!!!"
"That's right! Fight them with everything we've got! Even if we are to die, we'll take down someone from the Lin Family with us!!"
In an instant, the murderous intent of the Xu Family disciples grew ever more intense, and some even started fighting with a disregard for their own lives, aiming to inflict the greatest possible losses on the Lin Family disciples!
The iciness in Lin Mo's eyes intensified as he shouted loudly to the Lin Family disciples, "Hmph! Utterly ignorant of what's good for you! Lin Family disciples, quickly slay these homeless dogs!"
"Do you really think your desperate fight can change the situation, dream on!!"
This statement also stirred up the fighting spirit of the Lin Family disciples, who shouted angrily, "Kill these homeless dogs!!!"
"Even the strongest among you has been slain by our Brother Mo! And you still think you can resist! Go to hell!!"
"Today, not a single Xu Family disciple will escape!!"
...
The Xu Family Patriarch's gaze toward the Secret Realm gradually filled with worry as he thought to himself, "Why haven't they come out yet? This shouldn't be happening!"
The disciples of their Xu Family and the Lin Family should have easily dealt with the Wei Family disciples!
Why haven't they emerged from the Secret Realm by now? Could something unexpected have happened?
The Lin Family Patriarch squinted his eyes and spoke reassuringly, "Head of the Xu Family, calm down. They must be tied up by something unexpected. Don't you trust the strength of your own disciples?"
Hearing this, the Xu Family Patriarch first froze for a few seconds before nodding and saying, "You're right, Lin Family Head, I worried too much!"
Having said that, a calm smile once again appeared on his cheeks…
With the disciples of their two clans working together, how could the isolated and weak Wei Family possibly have a chance to turn the tables? He had indeed been a little too anxious!
But unlike their composed demeanor, the Wei Family Patriarch on the other side was quite different. His face was dark as night and gloomy as if about to drip with water, he silently clenched his teeth and thought, "When did the Lin Family and the Xu Family start collaborating…"
He feared that his Wei Family disciples might be mercilessly exterminated by the disciples of the Lin and Xu Families, and the key issue was that he couldn't directly hold them accountable!
This was infuriating him!
All he could do was to constantly console himself, vowing that after this ordeal, he would find an opportunity to eradicate the Lin and Xu Families, one by one!
And let everyone know that the Wei Family was now the true overlord of Tianyuan City!
Aside from them, among the surrounding onlookers of Tianyuan City, there was a breathtakingly beautiful woman clenching her fists—none other than Zhou Qingruo!
Her delicate cheeks were filled with worry, clearly concerned about something...
She bit her tender lip and murmured softly, "Xu Sheng, I've given you so many treasures; you better not die so easily! Even if you must die, you must bring out the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Fruit!!"
