In an instant, it was enough to freeze Ji Jue completely on the spot, provided there was no interference from the Blood of the Melting Furnace...

In that moment, the furnace fire rekindled.

The intense cold, capable of freezing and shattering lungs, was repelled by the Blood of the Melting Furnace and reversed. Countless Stone Blade Rock Edge erupted from the ground, only to be shattered under the Little Ox's trampling, leaving just scratches on the external armor from such a vast distance.

And when Ba Snake's void mouth closed, it abruptly stalled!

As though biting onto iron and stone.

The teeth-gritting sound of friction echoed in the air, the Little Ox's form changed, and its massive steel claws lifted, firmly holding the invisible mouth, like iron pincers, preventing it from fully closing and escaping.

Pan Ying's piercing swept horizontally from the void, seemingly tearing the invisible jaw, utterly shattering the invisible giant mouth. Meanwhile, atop the Little Ox's shoulder, Ji Jue's heavy sniper rifle was instantly prepared, raised again to lock onto Gao Cheng, and the trigger was pulled!

The moment the crystallized bullet pierced the air, it was already close at hand!

Even knowing Yue Chen's protection, Gao Cheng couldn't help but feel horrified.

Boom!

Bloodfire suddenly exploded from Yue Chen's hand.

In the instant, he raised his palm, intercepting the path ahead of the bullet. In direct clash with Pan Ying's fragments, a crack appeared on the palm where iron light and stone color swirled, a faint glow of molten rock revealed.

A strike capable of annihilating even the Rebirth Rank Chosen One was blocked!

Merely a skin break.

Not a trace of blood emerged from the wound, as if there was no blood in his entire body, even the bloodstream seemed filled with scorching molten rock.

Then, manifesting was a thread of light speeding forth from the darkness!

From prolonged observation, the Flying Light Technique appears once more, trailing just behind Ji Jue's bullet!

Just like before, only the sequence had sharply reversed, it nestled behind Ji Jue's bullet concealing itself, while in the instant the bullet exploded, that tiny thread of light suddenly brightened.

Within less than half a meter's distance, it sharply thrust forth, ignoring inertia, tracing a sharp right angle, rising from Yue Chen's fingers, heading straight for Gao Cheng behind him!

Snap!

Flying Light shattered and propelled outward.

Like crashing into an unseen barrier.

No, before that, Flying Light was already severed — under the void cleaving of a jade axe, all Flying Light Matrix enhancements were utterly cut off, reverting to just a piece of iron plate, which collided with Gao Cheng's shield and bounced away.

Unscathed!

"Tsk..."

Hidden in darkness, An Ning's expression turned icy.

Her gaze turned to Yue Chen's back, to that Entropy System Chosen One curled up in defense, refusing to surface even a bit.

In his hand, a bizarre jade axe appeared prominently, a Blessed Creation from the Heavenly Origin System, which, with just a hollow cleave, could suddenly sever all connections between spiritual substances within the range. Like a drone losing control, even for a mere moment, it was enough to accomplish its goal — without precise control, the Flying Light Technique's destructive power cannot be utilized!

Originally thought to be a disposable pawn unworthy of a name, yet unexpectedly, now standing alongside Gao Cheng as one of the most troublesome obstacles in the field.

And moreover, the traces revealed upon moving were immediately captured!

Since becoming Ba Snake, Lv Yang's senses significantly enhanced, not only in sight, hearing, smell, and spiritual perception, but every slight anomaly was as clear as day.

"Get out here for me!"

In the instant An Ning flickered out of sight, a giant mouth emerged from the void, cascading down a vast amount of turquoise breath like a waterfall.

Wherever it passed, everything decayed, stench spread, and the blood water transformed into a poisonous swamp.

"Got you!"

In an instant of spiritual change, Gao Cheng couldn't help but grin. Within mere seconds, aided by the omnipresent blood rain, he successfully pinpointed a critical location.

Ji Jue's coordinates!

Upon capturing it, he unhesitatingly issued a signal for everyone to prepare.

The invisible white chariot resumed operation.

In an instant, the four symbols rotated, moving in all directions!

The distinction between near and far blurred instantaneously, without warning, space folded like paper, a massive hole emerged from the void, the blood rain swirled into a vortex, instantly engulfing Ji Jue.

Then, unfolding before them all—

—[Transport], complete!

Ji Jue, originally six kilometers away, appeared before everyone in a fraction of a second.

No distance left to flee.

And even before that, everyone had thoughtlessly launched their strongest attack towards a predetermined area — the cold surged from the ground, enveloping the entire area, plunging the temperature to minus one hundred degrees, blocking all spiritual operations.

Lv Yang's body swelled again, layers of scales surfaced, resembling sword blades, fangs and claws emerged from his hands, to unleash a toxic extraction, devoting his entirety to crushing Ji Jue instantly.

Yue Chen's form shuddered, his initially immense and towering body swelled further, the giant's shadow briefly appeared around him, iron light and stone color concentrated between his arms and fingers, and the earth within thousands of meters suddenly trembled, incomparable terrifying mass gathering into that one punch.

Without reservation, furiously plunged forth!

Boom!!!

Enough to shatter a craftsman ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times instantly, such terrifying force suddenly stopped!

As if struck by an impenetrable iron wall, unable to advance...

Blocked!

The bone-chilling cold vanished, burning wind spread, resembling a furnace, dissolving the frost, raising a thick white fog that obscured everything.

In the white fog where not even fingers could be seen, only a fleeting blood glow was visible.

Slash!

Lv Yang screeched, flying backward!

On the transformed Ba Snake's body, a nearly severing deep crack appeared out of thin air, fangs and bone blades shattered instantly, an entire arm severed at the root, falling from the sky.

Not even time to react...

As the violent gust suddenly rose, blowing away steam and white fog, everyone finally saw — amidst the encirclement, that armored monster towering several meters high, like an iron titan.

At this moment, a relentless sharp friction sound constantly erupted.

The steel hand raised, blocking the Earth Meridian Punch, astonishingly turning back, gripping Yue Lu's fist fearlessly, grappling with the giant.

Like a wolf, the metal beast face lifted, eyes shooting out a substantial Purgatory light.
