Blink of an eye, and the old hen turns into a duck.

In an instant, the form of Ten Thousand Hands transformed again... It was like the boss had just made an appearance and immediately started the second phase without saying a word!

Infinite blood light flowed from the crystalline sword, vivid and ferocious, painting the entire world in crimson red.

Silver light intertwined with blood light, expanding!

As if gods and Buddhas were covered in blood, the worldly realm perishing.

Under the chaotic slash of countless blades, the flesh giant turned into a blood rain, splashing everywhere, yet the furious roar of the Hundred-Eyed Giant did not cease. Countless fragments began to wriggle and grow even before hitting the ground, with millions of strands of muscle fiber floating down from the air and rising up again.

Wherever the blood rain fell, amidst the crimson glow, eyes unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere, locking onto Ten Thousand Hands.

Even crossing the barriers, falling onto Ji Jue.

Each gaze carried an endless hunger and malice, pulling inexplicably. When billions of eyes stared over, even the soul seemed to be pushed, pulled, and swayed by invisible waves.

Quickly becoming drowsy and confused under the pull.

If it were Ji Jue from before, his spiritual essence might have already started to break loose and dissipate, and a moment of negligence in the siege would result in his soul being torn apart and devoured by the endless gravitational pull of the blood eyes.

What a pity...

Now, besides Ji Jue, there was another craftsman in the Ten Thousand Hands!

Lou Feng!

The spiritual essence of Ten Thousand Hands only stirred for a moment, and then, under Lou Feng's control, it regathered, ignoring the hungry pull of the blood eyes, as solid as a rock, unwavering!

Spiritual Shaping, kid!

"What are you looking at!"

Ten Thousand Hands opened once more and scolded angrily: "Not afraid of getting needle eyes?"

In an instant, countless crystalline swords swung out again, growing explosively—spiked like a hedgehog, piercing through the sky of crimson and the countless eyes without missing a beat!

Even if they don't get needle eyes, I can help poke an eye!

Crushing sounds were incessant, the giant's hundred eyes pierced and shattered amid violation, the wailing woeful cries spreading again.

But this time, there wasn't as much luck as before.

If it were the complete form of the Hundred-Eyed Giant, it would surely not fear such a targeted attack.

Unfortunately, not only was it incomplete, the examinees who came here didn't even have a craftsmanship license, and being able to master the secret theories of the workshop and deal with the first Hundred-Eyed Giant of a youngster was already quite remarkable. Unbreakable Armor, Breath of Demolition, Annihilation Blood… aside from the Soul-devouring Eye, the other three iconic features of the giant were just superficial and entirely in a youthful version.

At most, it was frighteningly vigorous in life force.

Unless every inch of flesh and blood were annihilated instantly and completely, it could regenerate at any time.

What a pity, even that was of no use now.

Maybe the giant didn't check the calendar before going out today.

And didn't think that today was the family gathering day!

So, at the instant the door was opened — countless ex-wives and stepmothers paid a visit!

On the crystalline sword, the blood light surged, changing again suddenly!

Half was burning fiercely like flames, the other half dark and drifting like shadows.

Then, within the sweep of Ten Thousand Hands, the storm raged, the giant's howls echoed incessantly, and the sound of cracking resounded through the heavens.

Absolutely, no power to resist!

When the output of Ten Thousand Hands, combined with Lou Feng's supply of spiritual essence, and the components of ex-wives and stepmothers, what formed was an absolute restraint on all creatures.

Blood drawn to worship my blade, spiritual essence taken to offer the fierce blade.

In a brief moment, the raging swordstorm utterly shredded the Hundred-Eyed Giant, and even had enough power to slice through all the surrounding attacks, encompassing all opponents, recklessly wasting destruction and death!

No land on Luye Island remained intact, the ground overturned, mountains crumbled, the dense forest burned to ashes in the bloody flames.

The dark clouds shattered, and the bleak fierce sun couldn't shine its light.

Only the piercing, thunder-like sound of blades slicing through the air reverberated over the sea, the blood light flowing, enveloping the sky!

"Well done, Old Lou! You did great!"

Ji Jue laughed wildly, feeling the unprecedentedly abundant supply, excitedly praising: "I've always said, brothers working together can break gold!!!

Let's go again, let me see your limit—

—we are partners for life!"

"Partners, my ass!"

Lou Feng roared furiously: "You bastard, keep your dirty hands away from my family!"

"Hehe, that depends on your performance."

Through the crystal wall, Ji Jue's laughter became even more piercing and eerie: "Spiritual Shaping, come on, get it moving! You don't want to lose here, do you?"

"You damn Ji——"

Lou Feng's face turned red, wishing he could blow up this dog thing.

But blowing up wouldn't solve the problem, the craftsmanship license was secondary, if Ji Jue this dog thing really had a wicked heart and was thinking about his aunt... Even if the intel described Ji Jue as keeping himself clean, what if!

Even if he couldn't beat this dog thing, he could always go back to Tide City and stay in seclusion for the rest of his life, just to avoid the bad luck. But if he got entangled by Ji Jue, and his aunt was unclear again... Wouldn't he be ridden by this beast and crapped on for the rest of his life?!

For the sake of his family, for his own life, no matter how angry and resistant Lou Feng was at the moment, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and submit to Ji Jue's trample and demand.

Besides... besides...

If he could take second place, he would earn something, right?

United gains, united gains, Lou Feng, you have to hold on, hold on! You are just being threatened by him, it doesn't count, you are unwilling in your heart!

But even if he was unwilling, at this moment, Lou Feng was still gritting his teeth and moving...

Boom!

In the core of Ten Thousand Hands, the crystal tower changed again under Lou Feng's control, contracting, turning into armor, enveloping the flowing silver light.

Massive spiritual crystals rose from the pull of the flowing light, converging, and outside the vortex, forming a magnificent and grand halo once again.

Exhausting the spiritual essence, starting again!

Fierce assault on all opponents once again!

At this moment, inside the Dragon Heart Workshop, Lin Ke's corners of the eyes twitched wildly, almost causing a brain hemorrhage.

When the Ten Thousand Hands filled the final weakness, it had completely exceeded the range he could handle, at this point, apart from raging, there was only cursing left.

[Andel, you damn, why didn't you say it earlier!]

In response, only a brief communication returned amidst the resonant bell sound.

As if puzzled.

[Would you have gone if I did?]

For a moment, Lin Ke was silent, speechless.

Even though he knew that Andel was just fooling him to take the hit, he had to admit—at that time, this was the best solution.

From the beginning till now, Ji Jue hadn't even gotten close to the range of the Bell Tower Workshop.

Under the chime of the bell, everything stood still, objects returning to their place, spirits back to spirits—even now, it remained the greatest threat to Ji Jue.

Even if Andel wanted to target him, he was too far away, separated by so many workshops.

How could he convince everyone to lift the workshop's restrictions and allow himself to act freely?

In his dreams!

The only thing he could do was bring out conditions to make Lin Ke take the front.

But would Lin Ke have resisted Ji Jue knowing that he was running out of energy?

What was he thinking!

He would only hide faster!

Even if Ji Jue was intercepted and couldn't charge himself, he could still take one with him using Death Speech before dying, putting Lin Ke on the edge of the cliff.

Would he risk his life, betting on Andel's assurance and aid? Even if Andel vowed and swore, would he dare believe?

From the beginning, they were not comrades, no alliance existed.

They just happened to encounter the same enemy.

That's all.

[Want to win?]

At that moment, Andel said: [There is still a chance]

"What will you do?" Lin Ke was skeptical.

[Free the workshops, let me coordinate and manage, the terms remain the same, but no spiritual essence compensation. Before resolving the Tide Sound, I won't attack everyone]

Damn you——

Are you mad or am I mad?!

Lin Ke laughed out of anger, but what choice did he have now?

No matter how arrogant, hysterical, crazy, or indifferent, craftsmen still retained rationality—losing sanity was akin to losing life. Sometimes, it's even more terrifying than death.

He had no other options.

Or even if he did, Andel wouldn't give them.

"Can you win?"

As the workshop's restrictions were lifted at the last moment, Lin Ke asked.

But this time, Andel didn't immediately respond.

Only silence.

Within less than half a minute, all surviving workshops reached a wartime agreement.

Except for Nine Seals.

Nine Seals had been destroyed by Ji Jue along the way, and the Spiritual Tree was reclaimed by Lou Feng, it was completely gone!

All the remaining survivors, at this moment, hesitated no more and united.

In an instant, the sounds of explosions echoed incessantly, from above, below, and every corner of the void.

The five-colored Earth Axis Instrument restarted, coordinated with Kunwu's Lock's tightening.

The boiling earth seemed to rise suddenly, and the invisible sky fell abruptly, the heaven and earth closing in, an invisible iron wall constructed from all sides, inching inward.

On the other side, countless breaking sounds of tied knots rang out.

In the Dragon Heart Workshop, Lin Ke drew his sword and severed the countless interwoven ropes, untangling all the bindings in one go.

Curse and evil surged from the shadows, pouring and rising, weaving into a blurred heart in the void, beating wildly.

All the world's calamities and suffering gestated in this heart!

From its pulsating spread, everything withered and decayed, quickly dying.

The Shadow of the Throne reappeared, its majestic outline filling the heavens, lowering its gaze, the fierce gravity vortex formed around Ten Thousand Hands, collapsing and compressing inward, crushing!

As the workshops' barriers were re-engaged and connected, the bell's resonance spread, where it passed, separating objects from spirits, unveiling the true forms of everything closer to eternity.

The Fluid Alchemy's operation abruptly slowed and was hindered, barely maintaining itself under the pressure, decay, and interference...

At the periphery, Kunwu's Lock dragged the weight of the heavens, the Earth Axis Instrument stirred the turbid ground of Nine Layers, colliding.

At this moment, heaven and earth united!

Then it was discovered it couldn't unite fully!

Between the descending sky and the ascending earth, it seemed as if wedged by a stone, unable to fully close.

In the dead silence, only a faint sigh remained.

Such regret.

Now united, indeed terrifying.

But alas—

Ji Jue said, "Too late."
