And amidst the colossal mountains, a waterfall cascaded down its flanks, striking the ground to form a long winding river, encircling the massifs like a giant dragon,

On either side of the river, a plethora of sharp weapons lined up as though forming levees, guarding the waterway. At the summit, there was an enormous volcanic crater, setting its surroundings ablaze.

Golden, woodsy, watery, fiery, and earthy glows rose from behind Yan Yourong.

Beside her, Ling Xi's Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman was already manifesting in her hand, with each talisman converging to form yet another tall mountain.

Both Ling Xi and Yan Yourong employed the formation of colossal mountain phantasms behind them. Even though the aura of their mountain phantasms was not the same, these mountains nevertheless blocked the thunder crashing down from the sky.

At the same time, Ling Xi lifted her hand, releasing more talismans to fly towards Li Ke.

She was well aware that her mentor's strength was slightly inferior and defense was not her forte; previously, her mentor had been seriously injured when caught in that Wind Blade amidst the hurricane's explosion.

She certainly didn't want her mentor to get hurt again.

However, the talismans had only flown halfway when they abruptly halted.

Li Ke, facing the thunderbolt hurtling down, suddenly radiated a fiery red light upon her face; instantly, flames engulfed her whole body. Before, the burning flames had turned her into a massive fireball.

But now, these flames took the shape not of a fireball, but of the sacred beast Bi Fang.

As the thunderbolt descended, the fiery Bi Fang let out a piercing roar, a blaze surging skyward as though erupting from the maw of the Bi Fang itself, with a momentum as if to tear through the heavens and shatter the tribulation clouds overhead.

Upon impact, the collide of the plummeting thunder and the flames in the void caused a thunderous boom. Afterwards, the flames spread upwards, while the purple thunder, under the searing burn, thinned and dimmed until it vanished entirely.

Amazing!

Ling Xi, feeling the intensity of the flames released by Li Ke, could still experience the waves of scorching heat from a great distance, along with the explosive power that seemed capable of incinerating everything.

Li Ke blocked a thunderbolt from the heavens with an ease that was evident on her face. She even found time to glance back at Ling Xi and say, "There's no need to worry about me; I am more than capable of withstanding these attacks."

Having undergone a Nirvana once, her power had grown terrifyingly, to the point where she felt she was on the verge of reaching the Wind Fire Tribulation.

From the other side, the voice of Linghu Gudu reached them.

"Immortal Ling Xi, your mentor is now frighteningly strong and no longer requires your aid, but I need it. If you have the strength to spare, help me," he said.

Ling Xi turned at the sound to see that above Linghu Gudu's head, a shield had now appeared; she clearly remembered that during their battle with the Wind Blades, Linghu Gudu's shield had been shattered. It was a mystery where Linghu Gudu had found so many shields or how many more he had.

Ling Xi ignored Linghu Gudu, knowing that he had numerous means to save himself, perhaps even more than her apprentice sister did. If there was anyone she would help first, it would be her apprentice sister.

The thunder was not merely attacking Cao Zhen and the Fourth Prince, nor was it specifically targeting any one person, but rather it struck at the entire ruins.

Inside the ruins, every person had to face the bombardment of the thunder at this moment.

Even those at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection had a chance to block it, but those who had not yet achieved Pill Fusion, let alone those at only the sixth or seventh level of the Golden Core, finding themselves up against this terrifying thunder, could barely fend off a single strike with all their might, and some couldn't even block one thunder strike.

And in the void, the thunder didn't cease after just one round of falling.

Soon, streaks of purple thunder fell again, and although their power greatly diminished after passing through the transparent screen above the void, they were still immensely terrifying.

Countless thunder strikes fell, like enumerable electric snakes dancing chaotically in the air, each filled with the devastating power to easily shatter mountains.

Within the ruins, atop peak after peak, mountains crumbled in an instant under the assault of the thunder, and countless fragments of rock fell from their heights.

And when the thunder smashed into the terreain, it instantly blasted a bottomless giant crater into the ground.

For those who had not finished their Pill Fusion, being able to block one thunder strike was already straining their limits. Seeing the thunder fall once more, they were utterly unable to withstand it, and in a moment, cultivators fell one after another beneath the thunder.

Entering the ruins, one might find astonishing treasures, but at the same time, they must also bear unknown risks, just like right now.

Linghu Gudu, using his shield to fend off the falling thunder, glanced at the void, watching Cao Zhen and the Fourth Prince flying off into the distance. Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes as he whispered, "Strange, haven't you noticed something? It seems that the place where Cao Zhen and that other guy are, the thunder strikes are particularly heavy?"

"It seems so," Ling Xi also noticed this and quickly moved forward, but soon thunder barrages fell in front of her, blocking her advance.

From behind, Li Ke's questioning voice came through, "What are you trying to do?"

Ling Xi did not even think before responding while still warding off the falling thunder, "Naturally, I'm going to help Master."

Li Ke unleashed a Flame, shattering the falling thunder, and quickly asked, "Do you think you are stronger than your master?"

Ling Xi shook her head, "Of course, Master is stronger."

"Then why are you going? The thunder there attacks everyone and targets an entire area; your presence wouldn't reduce the thunder they face. Besides, your master would have to be distracted to take care of you."

Ling Xi stopped short.

Cao Zhen also noticed that the thunder falling from the void seemed to cover the entire ruins. He didn't know about other places, but where he and the Fourth Prince were, the thunder strikes were especially dense.

Moreover, what was more troubling was that he and the Fourth Prince, the two of them, faced not only more thunder but also couldn't move!
