“Cry out, Benihime…”

In that instant, Urahara awakened his Zanpakuto and immediately used the Blood Mist Shield to block the divine move.

As a captain-level character (as set in the Bleach world), Urahara Kisuke's spiritual pressure was unfathomable. In terms of foundation, he would be a Xiantian (innate master) even in the Pili world.

However…

The might to look down upon the mortal realm, the power for a demon god to manifest in the world, could not be blocked by one person alone.

The complete form of Qitian Di (Extraterrestrial Demon), with a single move of Divine Flame, already possessed the power to overturn the heavens.

If Urahara alone were to meet it head-on, everyone in the canyon would be finished.

The heroes in the valley understood this as well… therefore, at this moment, they all displayed their abilities, launching powerful long-range attacks, trying to resist the world-destroying divine might.

The Three Xiantian (Three Immortals), standing above the canyon, also raised their Zhenyuan (true energy) again, using the Three Peaks Strike for the second time, striking the Divine Flame from the side as it descended.

Boom—

Energy collided in mid-air, exploding like a small nuclear bomb…

The shockwave burst out, spreading in all directions… stirring up turbulent currents of energy on the Boundless Plains.

Finally… with the combined strength of everyone present, they barely managed to block Qitian Di's move, resulting in a draw. Apart from a few people being knocked off balance by the shockwave, most were still standing firmly.

“Everyone without long-range attack capabilities, return to the Martial Arts Arena as quickly as possible! The rest gather in the valley, follow closely behind, and retreat while fighting!”

Just as everyone was still in shock, several loud shouts entered their ears.

The one who shouted this was none other than Feng Bujue.

“That’s right! Move!” Sima Yi was the first to react upon hearing this and continued, “Those who reach the Martial Arts Arena first, tell Xian Shou (String Leader) and the others to stop fighting! Find a way to lure Orochi towards us!”

“Cough… cough, cough…” Jimo Hou (Lonely Marquis) also coughed and said, “The remaining people… should try to hold back Qitian Di while advancing towards the Martial Arts Arena…”

Hearing this, most people understood. Brother Jue’s idea was actually easy to understand… With such a disparity in strength, we can't possibly win, so let’s find a way to get Orochi to deal with him.

“Restrain me?” At this moment, Qitian Di's voice came from above again, “… With just you?”

“Mr. Urahara, listen to me…” Feng Bujue ignored Qitian Zong (Lord Qitian)’s intimidation and quickly rushed to Urahara’s side. “Next… you will be the key to whether we can survive.” He paused for half a second and continued in a deep voice, “If I’m not mistaken, Qitian Di held back some of his power in that Divine Flame just now. He should have calculated… wanting to leave you some breath.”

“Held… held back…” Urahara didn’t know who the man in front of him was, but he was indeed shocked by Brother Jue’s words.

“You are the only one who knows the whereabouts of the Hogyoku, and Qitian Di wants the Hogyoku very much, but of course… it's not like he absolutely needs it. So, he launched the attack with a mentality similar to ‘try to hold back as much as possible, but if I accidentally kill you, so be it.’” Feng Bujue continued, “From this, we can see… as long as you are within his attack range, he will not use his full strength. And we… can use this to withstand his moves, just like we did just now.”

“I say… you guys should just run away. Anyway, I’m the one he wants to kill…” Urahara replied.

“No.” Feng Bujue said, “You can’t die. You are the only bait we know of that can lure Qitian Di to act. The sooner we get Qitian Di and Orochi to meet, the more advantageous it will be for us!”

Urahara chuckled dryly and couldn’t help but retort, “Hey, hey… you’re actually saying ‘bait’ in front of me…”

Brother Jue interrupted him once again, “In short… please hurry up and run towards the Martial Arts Arena with everyone. This terrain is too unfavorable. We can’t stay here for a moment longer.”

While the two of them were talking, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Jimo Hou had already organized the people at the bottom of the valley to quickly move to the top of the canyon.

At this time, the dead and injured from the Orochi army who had been crushed by divine power and lost their ability to move had basically been blown away by the shockwave; and Daji and the remaining surviving demon generals had also disappeared without a trace when the Divine Flame appeared. Therefore, the members of the Super Dimension Army could safely climb onto the plain on the south side of the canyon.

As for the ways they went up… there is no need to elaborate on them one by one. Anyway, some flew, some jumped, and some climbed, each with their own methods. In this other dimension, if you can’t even climb up a canyon several hundred meters high, don’t bother trying to make a name for yourself, just go be a杂兵 (cannon fodder) in the demon army.

“Want to run…” Qitian Di’s eyes moved slightly, and he muttered coldly.

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and divine power suddenly leaked out.

In the next second, the sky behind him actually began to collapse…

“What is he doing…” Some people who didn’t understand couldn’t help but ask.

“He is destroying the boundaries of this other dimension…” Some people who understood answered the question.

Faced with this kind of answer, the person who asked naturally fell into silence…

“Mortals, no matter where you run, you cannot escape destruction.” Qitian Di said as he raised his other hand.

People familiar with Pili know that when Lord Qitian extends his small hand, it’s time to issue便当 (death warrants).

“Divine Tempest.”

With a single palm flip and movement, the divine move reappeared.

“Damn it… it’s coming again!” Someone in the crowd had already shouted.

And this time, the Three Teachings Rogues on the opposite side of the canyon were out of reach.

Optimistically estimating… if this move hit, the number of casualties in the Super Dimension Army should reach double digits.

“Tch… no choice.” Jellal Fernandes, running at the back of the crowd, spat and turned around, then shouted, “Netherworld Great Saint, please lend me your strength!”

“Hmm…” Upon hearing this, Bodhisattva immediately understood. He instantly came behind Jellal, passed on the power of the Pure Lotus Holy Method, protected Jellal's body with Luli (lapis lazuli) mystic techniques, and rapidly increased his magic power in a short period of time.

“O source of the heart that wanders between eternity and infinity… O azure flames that exist here… Please summon that power slumbering deep within my soul… from infinity to this place… and execute judgment!” Jellal Fernandes finished chanting the spell at the fastest speed, using his strongest move, “Evil Spirit Breaker! (The strongest attack-type elf magic, its power is comparable to Dragon Slave)”

Boom—

The blazing white light accompanied the roar and cracks, and the contest of Divine Tempest and Evil Spirit Breaker began.

Elf magic can be subdivided into wind, fire, earth, water, and spirit five elements, of which the strongest move, Evil Spirit Breaker, belongs to the spirit element. In the 《slayers》 world view, the power of magic is closely related to the user's magic capacity, and Evil Spirit Breaker is a magic that relies heavily on the caster's ability.

Jellal Fernandes is a synthetic human, with an innate advantage compared to ordinary people (although the transformation of his body was not voluntary), and he himself is one of the top magic swordsmen; back then, he used Lagut Mejergis (Spear of Instant Strike) to amplify his Evil Spirit Breaker… and forcibly forced back the unformed other-world demon lord Dark Star.

And now, under the blessing of Bodhisattva's Buddhist holy power, the power of Evil Spirit Breaker can be said to be even greater than it was at that time.

It’s just… now he’s facing not Dark Star, but Qitian Di!

“Hmm?” Qitian Di used about 50-60% of his power at this time. He didn’t expect that he would actually be held back by the opponent, so he immediately said a famous line, “Hmm… not bad.”

Before he finished speaking, he had stopped destroying the space behind him and poured that remaining power into the hand that was casting the move.

In less than a second, the balance of power… was broken.

The overwhelming divine might of despair came overwhelmingly, completely swallowing the amplified version of Evil Spirit Breaker and chasing towards the rear of the Super Dimension Army.

Fortunately, the Three Xiantian (Three Immortals) also arrived in time at this moment.

“Nine梵Extinction!”

“Dao Ultimate Mysterious Sky!”

“Heavenly Wind Does Not Fall on Dust!”

Fo Jian Fen Shuo (Buddha Sword Distinguished), Jian Zi Xian Ji (Sword Immortal Traces), Shu Lou Long Su (Elegant Building Dragon Stay), the three peaks of the three teachings simultaneously unleashed their ultimate moves. The Confucian, Taoist, and Buddhist holy auras were connected, the yin and yang of heaven and earth were harmonized, turning existence into nothingness, and the ultimate divine tempest instantly became nothingness.

“It’s you three again…” Qitian Di said in a deep voice, “Heh…” At this second, he actually… chuckled coldly, “Fine… I will let you see what is the difference between the deity’s true body… and the divine consciousness carried by the Holy Demon Primordial Embryo.”

After saying that, Qitian Di crossed his hands, and used the 【Wind and Thunder Dual Styles】. In an instant, the sound of thunder covered all sides, and the raging storm swept in all directions.

At the same moment, all that could be seen was…
