The Tianxiang Wolf Cavalry Legion, the masters from the Luo and Duan families, and the terrifying assassins from the Asura Hall launched a fierce assault on the disciples of Floating Mountain.
Within Chizhang City, Ji Mo's supporters also fought desperately.
The shouts of battle filled the air as both sides engaged in a bloody struggle, their spilled blood staining the sky.
Song Wei Qian, Lin Meng Meng, and Ya Zi remained by Ji Mo's door, not moving. They were unsure what Ji Mo was doing inside, their only task being to guard the entrance and prevent anyone from approaching.
"They say cultivators from the Southern Domain are weak and lack backbone, like a pile of loose sand. It seems that's not the case. They are also full of passion and dare to face any strong enemy head-on."
A cultivator from an outer domain sighed, his attitude towards the Southern Domain shifting. Many nodded in agreement. They had always considered the Southern Domain easy to bully, but now, united as one, their power was astonishing, even managing to suppress Floating Mountain.
"This is all thanks to that man named Ji Mo. He changed the Southern Domain. One must admit, his methods are remarkable. From now on, the Southern Domain might as well be renamed Ji Domain."
Someone spoke with envy and jealousy. The most outstanding talents and powerful factions in the Southern Domain now followed Ji Mo's lead. It could be said that Ji Mo had become the master of the Southern Domain. It had only been a year or two since the title "Mr. Ji" began circulating. Yet, in such a short time, Ji Mo had effortlessly conquered the Southern Domain. His methods were simply unimaginable.
"It seems this man has grand ambitions. Floating Mountain might fall today."
Some began to doubt Floating Mountain's prospects, believing they might have fallen into Ji Mo's schemes. The battle had immediately entered a white-hot, intense phase. Floating Mountain was at a disadvantage, completely suppressed, suffering heavy casualties.
"Hmph, do you really think Floating Mountain is easy to bully? Today, all who dare to attack Floating Mountain shall die!"
A sinister voice echoed, filled with boundless killing intent. In the thick dark clouds above, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared. The eyes, like two blood-red suns, gazed down expressionlessly at everyone on the battlefield.
Then, a terrifying pressure enveloped heaven and earth, and two beams of blood-red light shot towards Hui Neng. No one had expected a super expert to be hidden high in the sky, launching a sudden, fatal sneak attack on Hui Neng.
"Pfft..."
Hui Neng was struck, sent flying backward, spitting blood, his face pale as gold paper. Fortunately, he had cultivated the Eighteen-Foot Golden Body and wore the Dream-like Cassock; otherwise, he would have been blasted into a mist of blood on the spot.
"It's that old ancestor from Floating Mountain. Wasn't he said to have a short lifespan and be in seclusion? I didn't expect him to sneak along. Floating Mountain is truly insidious, hiding their Old Ancestor in the void for sneak attacks."
Someone recognized the attacker as the infamous Old Ancestor of Floating Mountain. Hui Neng's salvation divine ability was interrupted, and the Sect Master of Floating Mountain also regained consciousness. He was filled with shame and anger, having nearly been defeated by an unknown nobody. With so many people watching, he had lost face spectacularly. The Sect Master of Floating Mountain was furious and once again brought out the five small banners, intending to slaughter his way to regaining his honor.
Meanwhile, the Old Ancestor of Floating Mountain also began to unleash his power. Above the sky, winds surged and clouds roiled, a vast aura spreading across the land. Dazzling light made it difficult for everyone to open their eyes, their eyeballs feeling as if pricked by needles, and some even shed tears.
"Futuo Wheel! It's Floating Mountain's Immortal Spiritual Artifact!"
Someone screamed, recognizing the artifact's origin. The Futuo Wheel had a grand and famous history. It was the treasure of Floating Mountain's founding Sect Master, a great killing weapon that had shone brightly in the Xuanling Realm, slaying countless powerful enemies. Later, when that Sect Master ascended, he left the Futuo Wheel behind as Floating Mountain's most prized possession.
"How can you mortals provoke my Floating Mountain? Today, all of you shall die."
The Old Ancestor of Floating Mountain's voice was chillingly cold. He intended to execute everyone who dared to oppose Floating Mountain. He wanted to prove to the world that Floating Mountain was not to be trifled with, and anyone who opposed them would perish.
The Futuo Wheel radiated a seductive crimson glow, emitting a bone-chilling aura, immensely terrifying. Under the Old Ancestor of Floating Mountain's control, the Futuo Wheel emitted a hair-raising hum, carrying the force of wind and thunder, and descended to suppress Luo Li and the others.
The Qinglai Qin met it without fear, its Immortal Spiritual Qi surging, intercepting it. The two Immortal Artifacts collided, energy surging, distorting the surrounding void.
"Pfft!"
On the ground, Yue Er's lips let out a trickle of crimson blood. Her cultivation was too low to withstand such a powerful clash; her body simply couldn't bear it. The Qinglai Qin was intimately connected to Yue Er. Subsequently, the Futuo Wheel was sent flying, crashing to the ground.
Song Zhen Wei roared, his immortal sword unleashing earth-shattering sword intent. A sharp sword light tore through the void, slashing towards the Old Ancestor of Floating Mountain. The Futuo Wheel's crimson glow flickered, hanging in the sky, transforming into a blood-red sun and diving down.
Rumble!
The area was filled with runes, the sound waves deafening, and a violent explosion occurred. Song Zhen Wei was also unable to resist and was sent flying back along with his immortal sword. It wasn't that the immortal sword was inferior to the Futuo Wheel, but rather that the immortal sword had not recognized its master and could not unleash much of its power.
The Futuo Wheel's blood-red light intensified, stirring up countless fierce winds, knocking back Ah Li, Black Rose, Wu Xiao Xiao, and the strongest group of people one after another.
"Haha, a bunch of rabble, who else dares?"
The Old Ancestor of Floating Mountain laughed wildly. "You truly court death, opposing my Floating Mountain for a good-for-nothing named Ji. Now, kneel, admit your mistakes, and swear allegiance to my Floating Mountain. I am magnanimous and can spare your lives."
The people present were the most outstanding talents of the Southern Domain. If they could submit to Floating Mountain, then in time, Floating Mountain would have the opportunity to dominate the Xuanling Realm. Therefore, the Old Ancestor of Floating Mountain threatened their lives, forcing Ah Li and the others to submit.
"Ptooey! You beast with horns and fur, you want us to submit? Wishful thinking."
Hui Neng pointed at the sky and cursed loudly, showing no semblance of a monk. Not a single person on the field yielded; they would never bow to the Old Ancestor of Floating Mountain.
"You refuse to see reason, then you shall all die."
The Old Ancestor of Floating Mountain was filled with killing intent, intending to strike them down.
Inside the room.
Ji Mo finally opened his eyes, stretching lazily. He hadn't slept very soundly, always feeling that it was very noisy outside. He wondered who it was, lacking any public spirit, disturbing his sleep so early in the morning. He yawned and, feeling a bit bored, picked up the Rubik's Cube by his bedside and began to study it.
The Rubik's Cube was only fist-sized, entirely black, its material unidentifiable. The surface was carved with patterns unique to demons, and every seam looked as if it were a single piece.
"The proprietress said there was something good inside, so I'll open it and take a look."
Ji Mo began to fiddle with the runes on the surface of the Rubik's Cube, attempting to solve it. The internal mechanism of the Rubik's Cube was triggered, activating its protection program. Demonic energy surged, the runes on it glowed brilliantly, and a powerful, terrifying spatial energy erupted. A beam of black light tore through space and shot towards Ji Mo's head.
"Hmm, there's a mechanism."
Ji Mo tilted his head, dodging the attack. The beam of light broke through the roof and shot towards the sky. The Old Ancestor of Floating Mountain, who was laughing triumphantly, suddenly felt a tremendous threat. Seeing the incoming dark light, he felt a chill run down his spine, trembling all over.
"Holy crap, what the hell is this thing?"
