151: The bloody battle of Falling Moon City has come to an end.

The golden long spear suddenly erupted with a blazing white light, like a blooming sun.

"No!!! You lunatic, you're actually going to detonate an Earth Rank Magical Artifact!"

The old woman finally felt fear at this moment.

"Bang—!"

A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, large swathes of the mountain range collapsed, and dust billowed up, obscuring the horizon.

Luoyue City was also slightly affected; a small area in the city collapsed due to the tremors, but under the protection of the Formation, there weren't many losses.

With a bang, a Golden Core shattered in the aftermath of the explosion.

A Golden Core Cultivator had fallen.

Amidst the explosion, a Divine Soul escaped.

"Ah—! You! ... Just you wait!"

This Divine Soul was precisely that of the old woman; her face was a mix of anger and despair, and she immediately turned to leave.

But how could Qin Dong let her Divine Soul leave so easily?

He let out a cold snort, his hands quickly forming Seals as he chanted in a low voice, "Soul Sealing Body!"

"Swish!"

A chain constructed from spiritual runes suddenly emerged from the void, wrapping around the Divine Soul like a bolt of lightning and tightening rapidly.

"Crack, crack!"

"Mercy...! Ah...!"

A shrill wail rang out as the old woman's soul was sealed within.

All of this takes time to describe, but in reality, it was extremely brief, lasting only a few seconds.

"Refine!!!"

How could Qin Dong let her go? He directly refined her.

When the smoke cleared, everything calmed down. The remaining three Golden Core Cultivators had looks of terror on their faces; such combat power was truly horrifying.

For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

However, at that very moment, heaven and earth trembled once again.

The remaining three Golden Cores looked at each other, joy in their eyes. No longer wanting to fight, they chose to flee together in the next instant.

Seeing them retreat, Qin Dong deactivated the Nine Transformations of the Blazing Void and hurriedly flew out of Luoyue City to check on Wang Wantang's condition.

Beneath a pile of rubble, protected by a shield of light, her aura was weak. This shield was, of course, Li Jinian's handiwork.

Qin Dong returned to his original appearance and rushed forward to check her injuries.

At this moment, her Lifespan was severely depleted, causing her long hair to turn completely snow-white.

Her internal organs were almost entirely shattered, blood soaked her clothes, and the breath of life was constantly fading away.

His expression changed drastically as he hurriedly circulated all his healing techniques and continuously fed her various Medicinal Pills.

[Ding! Earth Rank Low Grade Medicinal Pill... Price: 10,000 top-up points.]

He even brought out an Earth Rank Low Grade Medicinal Pill, yet disappointingly, her condition didn't improve in the slightest.

Her Lifespan was too heavily overdrawn... "Cough, cough... Lecher... is that you?"

Her weak voice slowly sounded, filled with endless regret and attachment. "Finally... I get to see you one last time..."

As her words ended, Wang Wantang's vitality seemed to dissipate in an instant. Her eyes closed slightly, and the light on her face gradually faded.

"No... don't die!"

Qin Dong's heart felt like it was being pierced by a knife. Feeling the girl's body in his arms gradually turn cold, he stood dazed in place, as if the entire world had collapsed at that moment.

Just when he didn't know what to do, the System popped up.

[Ding! This System is selling a Lover's Resurrection Gift Pack. Resurrect your lover with ease! Buy now while stocks last.]

[Ding! This System has locked onto the target's vitality for the Host.]

A speck of spiritual light fell, and Wang Wantang in his arms regained a faint glimmer of life.

Though it was very weak, it was definitely there!

Qin Dong was stunned for a moment, but then he was overjoyed. "These are the kind of top-up points you deserve to earn!"

"Brother System."

[Ding! What is it?]

"Thank you."

...The three Golden Core Cultivators from Black Blood Mountain City fled, but suddenly, they all stopped.

Ahead, a stout figure stood proudly in the air with arms crossed. "Fellow Daoists! Since you're already here, don't be in such a hurry to leave!"

"Guests from afar are still guests. As the Host, I haven't even entertained you yet!!!"

Wang Yifan's voice rang out, and the blade light from the giant blade in his hand surged, instantly slashing toward the three of them.

This battle was no less intense than the one over Luoyue City.

The entire sky and earth changed color; wild thunder and lightning raged down, and countless flying sands and stones swirled within. The terrifying power made everyone feel a chill in their hearts.

Rumbling sounds exploded in their ears, and endless light from Spells flickered.

They had already suffered losses from their previous battle with Qin Dong, and now they were being pushed back step by step.

"Brother Wang, I'll help you!"

A Disciple of Dao Xian Palace shouted, his figure rushing out like a phantom.

A powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from his body; he had actually reached the Golden Core Realm as well.

In addition, a woman carrying a long sword also took action resolutely.

With a clang, the long sword on her back was unsheathed, bringing with it a sky full of sword flowers as she attacked directly.

"Kill!"

Wang Yifan roared, his spiritual energy circulating wildly as the giant blade in his hand turned into a stream of light and hacked down fiercely.

Immediately, the six of them were locked in a chaotic battle.

Bang! A Golden Core exploded.

A Golden Core had fallen!

When the battle finally ended, of the three Golden Core Ancestors from Black Blood Mountain City, one was dead and two had fled.

And those two who were lucky enough to escape were not far from death themselves... The battle of Luoyue City had ceased.

Without their Golden Core combat power, although the Cultivators of Tianyuan and Black Blood Mountain City still had some strength...

...they were unable to turn the tide as a large number of reinforcements from the Western Yan Dynasty arrived.

"For the Great Cause!"

"Praise Tianyuan!!!"

With each slogan, the captured Tianyuan Cultivators chose to commit suicide without hesitation.

On the other side, a Cultivator from Black Blood Mountain City suddenly dropped the Magical Artifact in his hand and knelt on the ground.

Pleading for mercy with a panicked face: "Spare my life, I was just passing by!"

"Right, right, right, I was just passing by too!"

Before long, the counting and cleanup on the battlefield began.

The Prince of Jingjiang, who was missing a leg, came hopping over, his gaze focusing in an instant.

When he saw the enemy leader, a dazed expression instantly appeared on his face.

"I never expected it was you who led the enemy here!"

"The moles within our Western Yan Dynasty were actually you guys!"

Lu He raised his head slightly, his expression surprisingly calm, with a meaningful smile hanging on the corner of his lips.

"Lu He, you've lost!"

"Tell us who the mastermind behind you is!"

"Oh? Do you think we've really failed?"

Lu He's smile remained as he shouted loudly, "For the Great Cause!"

Immediately, he also chose to self-detonate his Dantian without hesitation... Western Yan Dynasty, Royal Capital.

Inside the golden, resplendent imperial palace, it was currently silent and lonely.

A man and a masked female Cultivator walked side by side.

The man had deep-set eyes, a steady gait, and a profound gaze, while the masked female Cultivator was Qin Dong's acquaintance—You Ruo.

As the two walked through the long palace corridors, a sound suddenly interrupted the silence.

With a thud, a figure landed.

Before them appeared a woman wearing an Empress's crown, looking incomparably elegant and noble.

The two stopped and looked over; she was the Empress of the Western Yan Dynasty and also a Cultivator in the Golden Core Realm.

The man turned and said indifferently to the person beside him, "My scheme can only bring you this far."

"She holds the Royal Capital's Great Formation in her hands; if we truly fight, we won't have the slightest chance of winning."

Now, what do you plan to do..."
