Golden light shakes the world! One strike!

In the deep mountains 300 kilometers north of Jiangnan City, Xia Country.

This place is perennially shrouded in clouds and mists, and rarely visited by people.

However.

Although there are few people here.

A high warning fence has been built around a ten-kilometer radius of the periphery.

Outside the warning fence, there are even heavily armed guards!

Every ten li, there is a sentry post.

Each sentry post has a hundred-person team!

Such a force is almost equivalent to half of Jiangnan City's defensive strength!

Of course, the heavy guard is not to prevent powerful demons from coming out of it.

But to prevent anyone from mistakenly entering and disturbing the demons inside!

After all.

Inside is arguably the strongest relic in Xia Country—the Journey to the West Relic!

Buzz—!

A startling sound caused the soldiers guarding here to nervously look into the deep mountains.

They saw two white cylindrical pillars, over a hundred meters high, in the deep mountains, which were originally shrouded in clouds and mists and extremely quiet.

They were like sky-supporting pillars, ancient and desolate, existing for an unknown number of years.

At this moment, these two white cylindrical pillars actually emitted dazzling light.

“This…”

“What’s going on?!”

“Quick, go inform the General, the relic has undergone a change!”

The soldiers stationed here were all greatly alarmed when they saw this scene.

For a time, all the soldiers who saw the white cylindrical pillars glowing began to move.

And as the light grew stronger.

Transparent ripples actually appeared in the void between the two pillars.

Void Passage!

Whoosh—!

A golden light suddenly shot out from the void passage, flying towards the southeast.

The golden light was extremely fast, like a golden lightning bolt piercing through heaven and earth, arriving at the edge of the Divine Grace Cemetery in southeastern Jianghai City in the blink of an eye.

Boom—!

The arrival of the golden light was like a sharp blade, cleaving open the black mist shrouding the cemetery.

The black mist surged like giant waves.

However, it could not hinder the golden light in the slightest.

The golden light cleaved through heaven and earth, directly rushing into the Divine Grace Cemetery.

In the temporary camp in front of the Divine Grace Cemetery.

All the Awakened looked up at the celestial anomaly, their faces filled with surprise.

They didn't know what happened.

They felt that this celestial anomaly might not be a good thing.

But there was also an indescribable excitement.

It's just that ordinary Awakened didn't know, but the military was different.

Temporary Combat Command Center.

The military bigwigs, who were originally discussing how to enter the cemetery for exploration, all stood up abruptly at this moment, sweat beads appearing on their foreheads.

Just a few hours ago.

The black mist of the Divine Grace Cemetery suddenly spread to the edge of the temporary camp.

This sudden change caused quite a stir at the time.

But as the black mist stopped.

Everything returned to normal.

It was nothing originally.

But they soon discovered that they had lost contact with Lin Xuan and Zhang Fan!

Afterward, upon inquiry.

Before the black mist spread.

Someone noticed that Lin Xuan and his group had gone outside the camp.

This made the military command breathe a sigh of relief.

Then they prepared to enter the black mist for military action.

Unexpectedly.

Before they even set off.

They received even more serious news.

Sakura Country underwent a drastic change!

The volcanic eruption anomaly that occurred a few days ago in Yokohama City there expanded.

The figures of Otherworld Demons directly appeared!

This news.

Directly meant that the Otherworld had taken control of an underground palace!

This was a very serious bad piece of news for the entire Blue Star.

However, the bad news didn't stop there.

Soon.

They received more comprehensive news.

Many Second-Order and Third-Order Otherworld Demons appeared there.

And even Fourth-Order ones appeared later!

As soon as the Fourth-Order appeared.

It caught Sakura Country off guard.

Directly causing Sakura Country to lose many Third-Order Awakened.

Subsequently.

General General Li, who was relatively close to Sakura Country, went to provide support.

Only then did the battle situation stabilize.

However, stable is stable.

The camp here was sweating nervously.

The change in Sakura Country undoubtedly showed that the news Lin Xuan brought before was correct.

Which means.

The change inside the Divine Grace Cemetery.

It really is an underground palace!

And.

Just like Sakura Country.

The Otherworld has taken control of the underground palace's authority!

After confirming this news.

The military commander immediately reported to the Jianghai City Military Region, requesting large-scale troop support.

Then, they quickly formulated a new combat plan.

However.

Just as they began.

The golden light in the sky instantly caused their pressure to collapse!

This golden light was too familiar to them!

You see.

The Fourth-Order Awakened who fell on Blue Star.

It happened within Xia Country's borders.

Moreover.

He died precisely under this golden light.

What kind of existence could cause the golden light to appear?

Definitely a Fourth-Order!

Which means.

Right before their eyes.

A Fourth-Order expert from the Otherworld appeared in the Divine Grace Cemetery!

“Requesting support…”

The military commander quickly informed the elder General General Li, who was thousands of miles away supporting Sakura Country, of this news.

Sakura Country might not have it.

But Xia Country must not be disturbed!

At the same time.

Inside the Guanghan Palace Ruins.

After seeing the golden light, Lin Xuan's originally calm face instantly showed joy.

“This is…”

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, looking at the iron rod in the golden light.

The iron rod was about two zhang long, as thick as a bowl, with clouds and mist swirling around the golden hoops at both ends, radiating an overwhelming aura!

Although it was very fast.

But with just one glance, the five golden characters “the compliant golden-hooped rod” on the iron rod automatically imprinted themselves into his mind!

“Hahaha!”

“It’s the Great Sage!”

“We’re saved!”

Lin Xuan laughed.

Before, he was still worried that if the Five-Ranked Demon came out, they would all die.

He even thought that Blue Star was finished.

It would fall.

After all.

A Fourth-Order could defeat a hundred Third-Orders.

Then a Fifth-Order could definitely defeat dozens of Fourth-Orders.

Five-Ranked Demon!

Definitely an existence that Blue Star's Awakened couldn't resist!

Even if he had General General Li's Sword Pill.

He probably couldn't resist it.

However.

Blue Star not only has human Awakened!

It also has the Great Sage!

In fact.

Nothing indicated that the mythical figures within the relics would help humanity.

But when the Blue Star Fourth-Order Awakened provoked the Great Sage before.

The Great Sage only killed that Awakened and did not attack other people on Blue Star.

This was enough to show his attitude.

Furthermore.

The only recorded instance of a relic demon leaving a relic globally to this day.

Was precisely the Great Sage.

At that time, he killed that Fourth-Order Awakened.

Many people caught a glimpse of this event.

Although they only saw a human figure wrapped in golden light.

But that aura.

Almost made everyone remember this powerful expert.

And because of this.

Xia Country dispatched heavy troops to guard the Journey to the West Relic.

To prevent anyone from disturbing him.

“I wonder if I’ll get to see the Great Sage’s true body.”

Lin Xuan felt some anticipation as he watched the golden light rush directly towards the Five-Ranked Demon bathed in lightning.

Boom—!

The golden light's speed did not decrease because of its massive size; instead, it became even faster.

Like a golden lightning bolt!

The Five-Ranked Demon, who was originally surrounded by lightning, like a god or demon, seemed so small under this golden lightning.

In the blink of an eye.

The Golden Hoop struck.

To everyone's shock.

That demon actually didn't dodge at all!

It wasn't that he didn't want to dodge!

But the golden iron rod was too fast!

So fast that he couldn't dodge in time!

After the demon was struck.

He directly spat out a mouthful of blood in the air and flew backward.

This scene.

Shocked everyone!

They had considered many possibilities.

For example, the Five-Ranked Demon and the Golden Hoop getting entangled in a fight.

Or the Great Sage's true body appearing.

Wielding the Golden Hoop and fighting the demon for three hundred rounds.

But this possibility was the only one they hadn't thought of.

That Five-Ranked Demon was sent flying!

And backward!

Is this something that can happen on Blue Star?

You know.

That was a Fifth-Order!

On Blue Star, it was an absolutely invincible existence!

But such an existence was sent flying by the golden iron rod?

This scene.

Left everyone stunned.

But it wasn't over yet.

After that demon flew backward.

He then tore open a black crack in the sky anddrill into it.

He escaped!

That Five-Ranked Demon, after being severely injured, tore open a crack and ran away!

One strike!

Just one strike!

Severely injured a Fifth-Order Awakened!

And made him flee!

This scene.

Almost made everyone's jaws drop!

“He is still as dominant as ever.”
