Liou Yuan was focused on the battle in the sky, left speechless by the Foundation Establishment-level clash.

Tap, tap, tap!

Suddenly, a series of footsteps echoed from the staircase behind the city wall.

Liou Yuan turned around just in time to see the figures of Ge Jinhong, Wei Ying, and Hua Xuanyi.

They had rushed over the moment the Moat Array shattered, only slightly behind Liou Yuan.

"Has the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator from Qingyou Prefecture arrived?" Loose Cultivator Hua Xuanyi, who shared Liou Yuan’s curiosity, immediately asked if it was the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator from Qingyou Prefecture.

Liou Yuan’s hand holding the giant sword was still trembling; hearing this, he just shook his head: "No idea!"

Wei Ying noticed the changes in Liou Yuan’s body and solemnly spoke to him with a crisp voice, "Mr. Liou, your courage is truly admirable."

"If I were in your position, I don’t think I could have done what you did."

Mr. Ge also looked at Liou Yuan with admiration and sighed, "If I were facing that Star Evil, I probably couldn’t even stand. Mr. Liou now talks and laughs as usual; truly, he has a heart of a lion."

It’s evident from their words.

Though they arrived a little later.

Yet, the scene of Liou Yuan wielding his sword against the Alien Star Evil was witnessed by the three below the city.

Regardless of strength, facing a Calamity-level Star Evil and having the courage to fight with a sword.

Liou Yuan genuinely earned the respect of these three.

Liou Yuan forced a smile, pointing at his trembling hand.

"Couldn’t you see my hand shaking?"

So much for unparalleled courage; it was mere madness before death.

After the frenzy, Liou Yuan felt cramps in both his hands and feet.

However, having been through the brink of life and death.

It seemed like there was a new change in the Spiritual Power within Liou Yuan’s body; they began to flow naturally within the Five Mansions following the Breathing Skill’s path.

The original twenty-seven strands of Spiritual Power were slowly and steadily generating new Spiritual Power.

Clearly, his Qi Cultivation Second Layer was beginning to loosen.

As his internal Spiritual Power changed, they were gradually moving toward Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

"Am I about to break through?" Liou Yuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

At such a moment, signs of breaking through in cultivation appeared.

Fortunately, Wei Ying and the other two, upon ascending the city wall, were quickly drawn to the battle above the heavens.

Not noticing Liou Yuan’s current changes.

Liou Yuan, of course, didn’t have Kong Yi’s big mouth and suppressed the joy in his heart, also looked toward the sky with everyone else.

The outcome of this battle concerned the survival of Yanhe City.

Their life and death depended on whether the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator could defeat that Alien Star Evil.

The Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, with boundless cultivation power, unleashed Sword Qi like a snowstorm overwhelming everything, complementing the silver-clad snowy landscape on the ground.

The Alien Star Evil couldn’t gain any advantage.

After fighting intensely for a short time, the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator proved superior.

With a single swing, Sword Qi lifted the white snow from the mountains around Yanhe City into the sky, transforming into a colossal icy sword that shattered the Buddha statue formed by the Alien Star Evil.

Along with its true form, it was cut down from the heavens and fell toward the closest mountain to Yanhe City, Virgo Peak.

Boom! Yanhe City’s highest mountain immediately crumbled, releasing countless fragments.

Riding the icy giant sword, the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator controlled his sword and struck toward Virgo Peak again.

"Raging Wind Crushing Snow!"

The intimidating voice of the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator echoed through Yanhe City.

Liou Yuan thought the voice sounded like a man.

Bang! The icy giant sword erupted with Cold Force sharper than the frost of winter.

The extreme chill spread from Virgo Peak to the city wall where Liou Yuan and the others stood.

Unprepared, the four were covered in a layer of white frost.

Whether it was Sword Qi or the chill that climbed onto Liou Yuan’s body, it made him shiver instantly.

"So cold!" Liou Yuan exhaled hot breath, with ice crumbs already covering his brows and eyes.

The other three were also similarly affected.

This was just the spreading chill.

Liou Yuan dared not imagine how cold Virgo Peak, overwhelmed by Sword Intent, was now.

"This sword may be able to kill the Alien Star Evil," Liou Yuan declared confidently.

At that moment, the icy giant sword had already struck.

Sword Qi enveloped entire Virgo Peak.

The highest mountain near Yanhe City, under the astonished gaze of Liou Yuan and the others, shattered like an ice crystal.

The mountain disintegrated, rocks and soil intertwined, rolling onto the ground.

Within the crumbling mountains.

Woo~~~

The Alien Star Evil let out another cry.

Soon, a pair of frenzied purple eyes slowly opened from the landslide of gravel and debris.

"Not good! Be careful!" Upon witnessing this scene, Liou Yuan shouted urgently.

He and Wei Ying had suffered losses because of the pair of eyes from the Alien Star Evil.

Even the defenses of the Moat Array couldn’t completely isolate the gaze of the Alien Star Evil.

Presumably, it was its trump card.

In a Foundation Establishment Realm battle, victory or defeat could be decided in an instant.

By the time Liou Yuan’s voice rang out, it was already too late.

The Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator pursuing onto Virgo Peak, at the moment those purple eyes opened, his body stiffened immediately, as if being trapped in a boundless mire.

How could the Alien Star Evil abandon such a good opportunity?

Swish, swish, swish! Tendrils formed from black energy shot out from the remnants of the mountain.

Wrapping around the stiff figure, surrounded by spiritual light, not far above Virgo Peak.

The latter hadn’t yet shrugged off the effects of the Alien Star Evil’s gaze.

Unable to avoid, the figure was instantly engulfed by the hundreds of tendrils.

Then, countless tendrils pulled downward, attempting to drag the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator into the mountain ruins.
