Like pulling up a radish, countless shattered spiritual circuits were yanked out!

The Melting Furnace, the Spiritual Storage, the defensive mechanisms, the weapons, the armor, and even the Puppets...

As the five fingers contracted, explosive sounds cracked continuously, and a torrent of spiritual essence burst forth from the fractured Melting Furnace, only to be hungrily devoured by the colossal hand!

The craftsmen's wails and screams echoed across the world from within that raised palm.

Then, with a squelch...

Blood spurted from between the fingers!

From the start of the battle to now, in less than half a minute, the first participant had exited.

Right in Ji Jue's hand!

Now, before all the combatants, Ji Jue's final creation was unveiled!

"——Who says a workshop doesn't count as armor?"

In the silver-glowing core of the Ten Thousand Hands Vortex, two hands tightly clasped slowly rose, unfurled, revealing a sinister seat like a cockpit, with a craftsman atop it.

Live mercury, like tree roots, burrowed into his limbs and bones, took over his heart, lungs, and veins, linking him entirely to the workshop.

Just like a sacrificial offering.

He poured his everything—life, spiritual essence, even his soul—into the workshop!

Transforming his workshop into an extension of his hands, bringing everything within sight under his control.

For this, he did not hesitate to exhaust all his points, completely abandoning the various auxiliary facilities and creations he had built over many years, even breaking down and reusing the powerful assault oxen and horses.

Referring to the framework of the old mercury workshop, and combining it with the structure of the Saint's Shadow, he reshaped it, finally recreating a fraction of that supreme and magnificent power with Fluid Alchemy and solid alchemy as the backbone!

Even if it's just a fraction, it's already enough!

Enough to settle everything in this conflict in one decisive stroke!

"You didn't actually think I was just stalling for time to cast a spell, did you?"

Ji Jue sighed lightly and reached out his hand again: "Sorry, I was just messing with you all..."

The real creation had already been completed long before!

In that instant, as Ji Jue moved, one hand of the Ten Thousand Hands suddenly expanded, extended, and thrust into the ravaged and pockmarked mountainside.

It gripped the main shaft of the workshop rooted beneath the rocks and earth.

Immediately, with a screech that echoed to the skies, the hundreds-of-meters-long load-bearing pillar was uprooted, lifting a cloud of dust. Dozens of hands grasped it tightly, forcefully straightening the bent main shaft.

Like lifting a giant club, it was raised to the highest point.

Mercury flowed in reverse, coiling in layers, rapidly hardening. The spiritual circuits reflowed and reconstructed, transforming into a blood-red double-edged sword.

One edge was sharp and blazed scarlet, while the other was elusive as a shadow, difficult to capture.

As the blessing flowed, the fierce spirit of both the ex-wife and stepmother reappeared.

To the other workshop, it cleaved!

The gray-black wind of decay howled, swallowing the Ten Thousand Hands construct relentlessly, wherever it passed, all the silver light quickly dimmed, decayed, and the matter deteriorated.

In the Dragon Heart Workshop, Lin Ke's face turned pale; he had poured all his strength into it.

Unlocking over sixty protective knot pressings at once, countless Curses synthesized from the Evil Spirit's extraction appeared, transforming into the most terrifying 'decay' tide in the world.

As if time had turned by millennia in an instant, everything it touched aged.

Yet decay could not shake the outline of the Ten Thousand Hands construct, an instant of dimness and rust appeared, but immediately, bathed in silver light, it was renewed!

As if tempered by time.

Instead, it catalyzed the fire of Fluid Alchemy...

Under the erosion and pressure of the decay wind, the already extremely refined essence further purified.

In an instant, countless rust and dust fell away, even the traces of all Mutated Pollution were squeezed out. The size shrank insignificantly, but the dazzling light flame became even more violent!

Inside the Five Flowers Five Leaves Workshop, a massive Earth Axis Instrument operated furiously, aiming to create a huge rift in the earthquake to bury and crush the immense construct into earth fissures.

But before the waves of the earthquake could rise, a hand from the suspended Ten Thousand Hands Vortex slowly extended, pressing gently on the ground.

Lightly, a touch!

Then, explosive forces even more violent than an earthquake erupted.

The earth mourned.

A majestic airwave surged, rippling outwards, forming a new storm.

The geological change hadn't even begun before it was interrupted by the violent power.

Inside the Five Flowers Five Leaves Workshop, the Earth Axis Instrument suddenly groaned, and the intricate construction of nested copper rings began to deform momentarily.

From beginning to end, the sound of cracking in the void was relentless. Kunwu's Lock's suppression was torn apart layer by layer by the innumerable outstretched hands, incapable of restraining the panorama in motion!

Just like that, before everyone, right under their noses, they watched helplessly—the sword of ten thousand weights slashed a path from the sky.

Aimed at another workshop.

Like a decisive punishment, it descended from the heavens!

Boom!

Like withering, it broke through the layers of defense and force fields in the void, penetrating the top!

The Vortex of Ten Thousand Hands, with individual arms reaching out, the five fingers spreading, gripping the hilt and blade of the sword, twisting effortlessly as if turning a valve.

Accompanied by fire and smoke, the spiritual tide geysered from the victim's workshop.

Blood-colored mercury flowed from the blade, penetrating like a straw, sucking dry all the spiritual reserves swiftly within the workshop.

Only when the damaged workshop emitted awkward gurgling sounds like an empty milk carton did it slowly withdraw.

And then, as if handling a real milk carton.

The hand clenched into a fist.

Mercilessly, it pounded!

Shards and flames scattered with final wails and screams.

The second one!

At that moment, as the Ten Thousand Hands construct slowly twisted its form, leaning back as if to look behind, everyone finally, literally, felt a bone-chilling fear.

"How troublesome."

A regretful sigh echoed between the sky and earth, "While the weak must be picked... you all seem equally weak."

"How about——"

The crimson giant sword was drawn once again amidst the seismic tremors, swept in a grand arc before everyone, issuing the final invitation.

"Bell tower, Dragon Heart, Five Flowers Five Leaves, Seven Rivers, Tongxie, Fluid Silver, Nine Seals, Illusion Village... anyway, you're all here."

Ji Jue looked down on everything beneath his feet, countless hands unfurled behind him like a blooming lotus:

"——Come at me all at once!"
