Hasa gritted his teeth, reaching out and desperately tearing at the void.
He wanted to seize this opportunity to open a dimensional rift and send the remaining Sky-Shattering clan members away.
Before the Supremes returned, if this continued, not a single one of them would survive.
Of course, he could leave now, but if he did, all the Sky-Shattering clan members would die.
As a leading figure of the Sky-Shattering clan, Hasa was quite responsible. Anyone else would have long abandoned these clansmen and fled themselves.
The rift was opening wider and wider. Hasa roared at his clansmen behind him, "Retreat! Retreat!"
Through the narrow rift, Sky-Shattering clan members rushed in one by one.
However, at this very moment, a golden barrier spread out.
The Sky-Shattering clan members who were about to surge into the void rift crashed into it, their heads buzzing.
Hasa's expression changed drastically. This golden barrier was the same barrier of the [Pillar of Heaven] that had made them feel nauseous.
With the arrival of the Ice Phoenix, all the Sky-Shattering clan members turned pale.
In the countless battles over the years, the Sky-Shattering clan had come to deeply detest the Ice Sword Mercenary Group, but this was followed by profound fear.
The scene of them killing Lu'ermo back then had dealt a devastating blow to the Sky-Shattering clan.
Some Sky-Shattering clan members in the mid-stage of the Eighth Realm were not that afraid of the Ice Sword Mercenary Group initially, but from then on, they could only skirt around them.
"Seeing you in such a panic, I almost thought we were Immortal Emperors!"
Wang Teng taunted the Sky-Shattering clan members without mercy.
Hasa clenched his fists, and a terrifying power erupted from him.
"I am not that fool Lu'ermo, so I will treat each of you as an opponent of equal level until I kill you!"
Wang Teng sneered dismissively, "That Lu'ermo you mentioned said the same thing when he was fighting us."
Luo Xiaowei also said dismissively, "There's one more thing you forgot, which is why we are fighting you, Old Man Wuyuan!"
Following Luo Xiaowei's shout, Wuyuan, clad in a Daoist robe, flew from behind and landed in front of everyone, confronting Hasa.
Wuyuan said faintly, "Your strength should be slightly weaker than Makula. It's just right to use you to atone for my mistakes over the years!"
It wasn't just Wuyuan; the human cultivator army also poured in one after another. They held their weapons with high morale, ready for battle.
After so many years of fighting, they had had enough!
After this battle ended, their world could return to its normal rhythm: sect rivalries, genius duels, and the competition for opportunities.
This was the normal rhythm of a cultivation world, not like before where one group was stuck on the front lines with the Sky-Shattering clan, and another group was acting arrogantly in the safe zones.
Now, victory was within reach, even to the point of already being victorious. If they hadn't intervened, this last group of Sky-Shattering clan members would have surely escaped.
But such a victory was not enough. Too many people had sacrificed their lives over the years. Only by killing them all could they vent their anger.
"Kill! For our fallen compatriots!"
"Reclaim our homeland!"
"Kill all the Sky-Shattering dogs!"
"..."
This was a battle the Sky-Shattering clan was destined to lose, just like the Sky-Shattering clan who had massacred the humans in the [Kingdom of Hope] in the thirteenth cultivation world.
But unlike that time, the desperation of these Sky-Shattering clan members was not as strong as that of the human cultivators in the [Kingdom of Hope].
During this time, some Sky-Shattering clan members begged for mercy, some cried, and some launched explosive self-detonation attacks.
They even shouted the slogan "Glory belongs to the Sky-Shattering clan" in an attempt to boost their morale. Unfortunately, in the face of an absolute power gap, they had no chance.
Hasa watched his clansmen fall one by one, his face filled with despair.
"Haha! This decadent world was originally within our grasp. Ice Sword Mercenary Group! You have been remembered by my clansmen. No matter where you come from, you will be on the Sky-Shattering clan's kill list!"
"I may not be able to kill you today, but Wuyuan! I will definitely kill you!!"
A look of determination flashed in Hasa's eyes. His body expanded, and dark flames appeared on him.
He wasn't severely injured, yet he activated the [Demonic Body Sacrificing Heaven]. His strength was now infinitely close to the Ninth Realm.
Undoubtedly, the person he most wanted to kill was someone from the Ice Sword Mercenary Group. Even though they were all at the Nascent Soul Realm, any one of them was more valuable than Wuyuan, or so he thought.
But he couldn't get past Wuyuan, so he had to sacrifice his own life to force Wuyuan down.
However, Wuyuan was not intimidated. He seemed to have truly changed.
No longer the selfish alliance leader he once was.
"Do you think I will just stand here and let you kill me?"
"Boom!!"
Wuyuan's body also erupted with strong Daoist charm. His Dao fruit burst into intense light at this moment and then began to burn fiercely.
Hasa's pupils contracted. He knew Wuyuan's character and knew he wasn't the type to burn his life and go all out, especially when humanity was bound to win, making it unnecessary.
He had expected that upon seeing him activate [Demonic Body Sacrificing Heaven], Wuyuan would protect himself and retreat temporarily, allowing him to go and kill Wang Teng and the others.
"You're actually burning your Dao fruit?"
"There's no need to be surprised. I told you I would kill you today, even if it means burning my life to atone!"
The two immediately clashed, their terrifying power making the void tremble.
Everyone in the Ice Sword Mercenary Group exchanged glances. They still had some grievances with the former leader of the cultivator alliance because when they arrived, he had led the alliance to such a poor performance, indicating he was definitely guilty.
Now, such a selfish person was willing to burn his Dao fruit to atone for his past.
Burning the Dao fruit also meant burning one's own Dao foundation. Once burned to ashes, his cultivation would decrease, and his life force would be consumed.
Li Qingyun conjured a [Barren Curse] and gently handed it to the spirit, Xiao Lian.
"Xiao Lian, can you help me implant this into that bad guy's body?"
Xiao Lian nodded solemnly, grasped the [Barren Curse] radiating decay, and then entered the [Chaos Divine Lotus].
This lotus flew towards the battlefield between Wuyuan and Hasa...
