"Everyone be careful, he's even more dangerous than before!"
Srysin warned, then gritted his teeth and slammed the Box of Endless on his wrist, throwing the Box of Endless at the Grand Sage.
Previously, to prevent the Box of Endless from harming his own people, he had limited its power. Now, the Box of Endless was at full power, but at the same time, it would begin to attack indiscriminately.
However, the Box of Endless would attack the strongest person present first, giving them some time to escape its attack range.
The Box of Endless rapidly transformed and unleashed a searing beam at the Grand Sage. This beam instantly seared away the Grand Sage's skin, but the Grand Sage merely laughed dismissively.
"To think that at this point, you can only rely on this. The Hunter Association has truly declined."
He endured the energy from the Box of Endless and charged straight towards it, then delivered a heavy punch to the Box of Endless.
Having received an attack exceeding its limits, the Box of Endless rapidly transformed into a fist-sized object, floated in the air, and became motionless.
"This thing only works against the weak. For me... it's just trash."
Srysin's pupils contracted. It was the first time he had seen someone able to withstand the energy of the Box of Endless and forcibly shut it down. Just how strong was the Grand Sage now?
He extended his hands and clenched them fiercely in the direction of the Grand Sage. Countless ice shards assailed the Grand Sage from all directions. This attack would drain all the moisture from the entire Oday region, condensing into a colossal ice mountain to seal the Grand Sage within.
"I will hold him off. You all go. Please try to survive and preserve humanity's flame..."
Before this battle, the Association had already made an escape plan.
The Association had a one-way passage to the Inner World. If they failed here, that passage would open, and another Vice President would lead the last embers of humanity to flee to the Inner World.
For the Hunter Association, the Inner World was fraught with peril, so they would not open that path until the last moment.
Now, it had come to the last moment.
Before the ice could even solidify, the Grand Sage appeared before Srysin, his two deformed hands gripping Srysin's arms, bringing his offensive to an abrupt halt.
"You are the strongest in the Hunter Association, but to hold me off... you overestimate yourself."
The Grand Sage revealed a terrifying smile. With a forceful tug of his hands, Srysin's arms were torn from his shoulders. Then, he kicked Srysin in the chest, sending him hurtling into the ground at terrifying speed.
Subsequently, the Grand Sage appeared above Sakuraba Ichikazu's head. Eight bluish-purple tentacles wrapped around him and, with a mighty pull, blood sprayed from the gaps between the tentacles.
Ishina attempted to intervene, but the Grand Sage immediately grabbed her by the head, spewing immense amounts of energy from his palm.
Jun Ying, embodying both sword and self, unleashed the strongest sword strike of his life, slicing at the Grand Sage's arm. This prevented Ishina's head from being scorched, but several other tentacles seized the sword, and Jun Ying's sword was then broken. Sultan Novel Network.
The entire process happened incredibly quickly. The Dark Knight gave a wry smile, knowing that it was all over.
The strength the Grand Sage displayed after starting his attack was clearly on another level. Even a Spirit Realm God should not be able to overwhelm them to this extent.
He did not know that the Grand Sage had not yet evolved to his complete state. Once he absorbed the life force of the entire Earth, he would become a celestial god belonging to the Nameless King.
Such beings were known as Nameless Apostles in the Inner World, common enemies of all life. They would instinctively destroy all life they encountered until they themselves were destroyed.
Before the Dark Knight could ponder further, his vision went black, and he then crashed to the ground like a meteor, feeling as though his entire body was falling apart.
Having learned from his previous mistake, the Grand Sage would not give the Hunter Association any more chances to counterattack.
Suddenly, the sky changed color. A large net of silver, green, and blue appeared in the sky, and the Grand Sage felt his body grow heavier.
His terrifying mouth curved into a smile. "My third sanctuary has also been taken. But it doesn't matter, I am invincible."
After spreading across the entire world, the great net vanished into the air, becoming a barrier in the real world.
A flash of light, and Wen Wen and Qiao Feiya appeared on the battlefield in the Oday region.
The first thing he saw here was the Grand Sage dragging the tail of the Demonic Beast Star and throwing it, causing it to smash down a mountain.
The Demonic Beast Star, hitting the mountain, could no longer sustain its form and collapsed into blood mist, leaving behind only a lustrous, oval stone – the Qilin Pearl.
"Yo, you finally arrived. If you had come any later, I would have played with all these toys."
The Grand Sage greeted Wen Wen happily, as if he had found new toys.
Wen Wen looked at the Grand Sage's current appearance, fell silent for a moment, and then said, "So you're this ugly..."
"Ugly, ugly..."
The Grand Sage, his six hands simultaneously grabbing his face, writhed for a moment before revealing a terrifying expression to Wen Wen.
"I've decided, I'm going to make you even uglier than me!"
Wen Wen looked at the devastated land and sighed deeply. The only thing he could be grateful for was that he had arrived relatively on time, and the Condemners had not all been killed or wounded.
Except for Sakuraba Ichikazu and the Desert Priest, whose life signs were no longer detectable, everyone else still had a faint trace of their presence.
Three figures appeared, surrounding the Grand Sage from three directions: Nevia, Iswitt, and Jin Kela.
"These three toys look like they'll be fun. Let me enjoy them a bit longer."
The Grand Sage charged ecstatically towards Jin Kela. Jin Kela, with a serious expression, raised an iron shield to block, but was still sent flying.
Iswitt sprayed a high-pressure water stream at the Grand Sage, cutting a wound on his back, but the wound healed instantly.
At this point, the Grand Sage no longer showed any sign of intelligence, completely reveling in the madness. Wen Wen was familiar with this state and knew how dangerous the current Grand Sage was.
Each of the three central administrators possessed strength comparable to Srysin's, but their coordination was much more seamless, making it difficult for the Grand Sage to find an opening.
However, Wen Wen knew that Jin Kela and the other two, at most, were only as strong as Srysin and the other eight. They wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
So, Wen Wen said to Qiao Feiya, "You go and transfer the Dark Knight and the others to a safe place. Leave this to me. For this kind of battle, an ordinary Cataclysm-level expert can no longer play a significant role."
