"part!"

"I knew you were here!"

"Stop hiding in the shadows like a coward! Come out here!"

The ancient roar transformed into tangible sound waves, emanating from the depths of the churning dark red blood clouds!

The sound pierced through the roaring, deep purple lightning, echoing back and forth above Falling Star Valley, causing the surrounding space to ripple.

Andrew, who had retreated to a solitary peak dozens of miles away, was completely baffled by what he heard.

He gripped the cardinal's scepter tightly, resisting the strong wind, and frowned.

"part?"

Who is he calling out to?

Andrew gripped the scepter tightly.

The other Holy Knights, who were struggling to stay afloat, looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Your Excellency, has the monster in this blood cloud been struck mad by lightning?"

A knight swallowed hard, pointed at the purple lightning net ahead, and said in a trembling voice, "Such powerful Heavenly Lightning Punishment, even a top expert like Lord Domoko would die if he went in!"

"Under this overwhelming power that threatens to obliterate everything in the world, even if all the SS-level experts in our entire Free Federation joined forces, they would be unable to withstand it!"

"At this point, who would dare to get involved in this mess? And who has the ability to help?"

Andrew remained silent, his face turning pale.

He agreed with his subordinates.

This divine might is simply beyond human power to resist.

However.

Just as Andrew was watching the monster struggling to its death in the blood cloud.

"Your Excellency! Look up there!"

"Look at that person!"

A sharp-eyed knight stared wide-eyed at the distant sky, his voice shrill and shaky!

Andrew snapped, "Shut up! I have eyes, I saw it!"

Following the direction the knight was pointing.

Andrew's eyes widened.

On the outskirts of Falling Star Valley, high in the sky, where even space itself was distorted by lightning.

A middle-aged man wearing a retro top hat and a black trench coat walked over with his hands in his pockets and his feet seemingly floating in mid-air.

The howling wind made his trench coat flutter loudly.

But his steps were steady and unhurried.

Andrew felt a sense of familiarity upon first seeing the other person.

This face looks somewhat familiar.

My brain is working at lightning speed.

Andrew shuddered, a chill running from his tailbone straight to the top of his head!

He remembered!

In previous years, the other party had been lurking in the innermost part of the Holy City!

Even the aloof and unapproachable Saint Francis made an exception and personally received this man in the deepest part of the Cathedral of Light!

Andrew only dared to glance at it from afar, but he was intimidated by the oppressive aura emanating from the other person.

"It was him..."

Andrew gripped the scepter tightly.

Who exactly is this person?!

The sacrifice of millions of civilians, the Holy Lord's abnormal behavior, the shocking events in Falling Star Valley...

Could all of this be related to this man surnamed Duan?!

What is he doing here?!

Just as Andrew was pondering...

The middle-aged man's figure had already entered the area where blood clouds and purple lightning intertwined!

"He's insane! He's absolutely insane!"

The knight beside Andrew shouted, "That's the core area of ​​the Heavenly Punishment!"

However, what happened next completely overturned Andrew and the others' understanding.

The purple lightning, powerful enough to shatter an SS-level expert into dust, and the dark red blood cloud, capable of draining the life force of all things, vanished without a trace the moment they touched Mr. Duan's body!

Mr. Duan simply let the damage from the blood cloud and thunder strike him.

He remained unmoved.

He didn't even frown.

Even when they reached the most violent energy center.

He stopped, reached out a hand, and took off his vintage top hat.

He performed an elegant and standard hat-removal salute towards the enormous and ferocious blood cloud below.

"Long time no see, Blood Ancestor."

Mr. Duan smiled, his voice booming over the thunder, reaching everyone's ears: "I'm sorry, I ran into a little trouble on the way, that's why I'm late."

"Bullshit!"

Deep within the blood mist, the being known as the Blood Ancestor cursed loudly.

"Is this the time to be talking ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ about such trivial matters?!"

"Can't you see that this damned will of Heaven has its eyes on me?!"

"Hurry up and kill it for me! I've been sealed in this dark and desolate ruin for so long, I need to get out now! I want to see blood!"

Faced with the Blood Ancestor's impatient urging.

Mr. Duan put his hat back on and turned his head back.

He nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

"clear."

"Since I promised to take you to witness the new world, I will naturally keep my word."

Mr. Duan's words have angered the heavens!

"rumble--!!!"

In the sky, the thunder that hovered above Falling Star Valley grew louder and louder!

Dark, ominous clouds rolled in, and a destructive pressure ten times more terrifying than before descended, locking onto Mr. Duan in mid-air!

This is the ultimate warning to Mr. Duan!

The way of Heaven cannot be reversed!

Those who defy the heavens shall die!

Despite the terrifying aura overhead that threatened to crush the space, Mr. Duan still smiled.

He raised his head and stared directly at the purple thunderclouds high in the sky.

He nodded politely at the raging thunder.

"I'm so sorry."

Mr. Duan said calmly, "This person is still useful to my plan."

"Therefore, he cannot die at your hands today."

This seemingly casual remark became the fuse that completely ignited Tianwei's wrath!

What awaited him was a thunderbolt that had completely descended into fury!

"Crackling sound—!"

The heavens are torn apart!

The purple lightning bolts gathered and compressed in mid-air!

In just a few seconds.

Those purple lightning bolts actually transformed into a purple lightning dragon tens of thousands of meters long, with lifelike scales all over its body, in the clouds!

Lei Long opened his emotionless Heavenly Dao Eyes, let out a dragon roar that shattered the soul, and swooped down from the heavens!

The target is Mr. Duan and the Blood Ancestor below!

Even before the Thunder Dragon's massive body had truly descended, its destructive pressure was already too much for the surrounding mountains of Falling Star Valley to withstand.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of explosions rang out.

Inside Falling Star Valley, towering, solid mountains thousands of meters high were crushed into dust under this immense pressure!

The blood cloud at the bottom, under the suppression of the terrifying lightning, rapidly thinned, and large swaths of blood mist were evaporated into nothingness!

"Aaaaaah!"

The Blood Ancestor let out a shrill scream deep within the ruins, watching as the primal power he had accumulated was ravaged.

"Duan! How long are you going to wait?!"

Blood Ancestor shouted, "Hurry up and make your move! Do you really want to watch me die here?!"
