"Crack, Crack—"

Amidst the rubble piled upon the ruins, there suddenly came a series of violent tremors and explosions, followed closely by a "boom", as a large huge boulder was forcefully shattered.

Following which, a gigantic fire mass burst out from underground, shaking the dust and landing heavily on the ground.

Upon closer inspection, it was a burly man wearing a pitch-black, menacing battle armor, carrying on his shoulder a burning fierce beast, the Fire Qilin, several times larger than his own imposing figure, clearly Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali.

"Whoosh—"

Jiang Dali released the stunned Fire Qilin onto the ground, causing a reverberating sound, subsequently removing the Mystic Ice Mask, enduring the swelling pain in his head and brow, gathering full power in his eyes.

At once, the dark world before him slightly revealed some clear outlines of objects, though not as lucid as daylight, it did not hinder judgment.

Jiang Dali swiftly searched the ruins for Bai Suzhen’s figure.

Suddenly his gaze fixed, his steps shook, transforming into a whirlwind, forcefully knocking away the piled debris, abruptly arriving beside a collapsed ravine.

The ravine with jagged stones towering, a white cloth draped over and entwined on one of the stones, fluttering with the wind, lonely and desolate.

Jiang Dali’s face slightly sank, reaching to grasp the white cloth, his gaze looked downward into the deep ravine, his ears already catching the sound of flowing water from below, chilling air wafting, clearly indicating an underground ice river beneath Search God Palace, and Bai Suzhen’s body likely fell below.

He leaped forward, blasting open obstructing boulders, venturing below to search.

After half an incense stick’s time, ultimately returning fruitless, realizing Bai Suzhen most likely perished in that recent battle.

After all, in that massive explosion just now, the central force was Bai Suzhen and the Undying God’s Heaven and Earth Mahavira Power.

And the explosion generated from the clash of these two vast forces, the power was no longer merely the sum of their powers, but nearly tenfold increment, enough to shatter both Primordial Spirits into Body and Soul Destroyed, impossible to survive.

However, the reason Jiang Dali didn’t completely give up is because the panel hint indicated that the mysterious strong entity Emperor Shitian was not dead yet.

Since this Emperor Shitian isn’t dead, then possibly Bai Suzhen could also survive, but this probability, looking at it now, remains quite slim.

"Heavenly Gate Master... Emperor Shitian, a person who claimed to be a god earlier than the Undying God, someone who professed to live for a thousand years? How is this possible? This guy... Is he a fraud, or really... What exactly did he use to survive in that massive explosion?"

Jiang Dali looked down at the white strands in his hand, his brows tightly furrowed, feeling extremely bewildered and even shocked.

This suddenly appearing self-proclaimed ’Oriole’ strong entity, the power displayed has surpassed his imagination.

Reflecting on the earlier battle performance, the opponent’s true strength might be slightly above Undying God by two levels, possibly winning against Undying God, yet also wary of Undying God’s Heavenly Level Mahavira Power, or else he wouldn’t borrow his hand to wear down God’s energy.

Of course, it might only be after wearing down God’s energy, the opponent could more easily devour God’s Mahavira Power, rather than the opponent couldn’t easily deal with God.

But considering the subsequent battle with all three confronting Emperor Shitian, if back then all three were in a state of light injury without much depletion, Emperor Shitian absolutely couldn’t suppress them, might even have to retreat.

Thus observed, Emperor Shitian’s power didn’t reach the stage far beyond understanding, thereby making it very questionable how the opponent could escape unharmed from Heaven and Earth Mahavira Power’s massive explosion, maybe relying on some special Martial Arts.

"At the base of Leifeng Tower earlier, during my conversation with Bai Suzhen, we speculated that the Undying God’s formidable enemy might be the one who took Senior Wu Ming, now it seems very likely it was Emperor Shitian... His displayed power is indeed astonishing, considered the strongest I’ve seen so far."

Jiang Dali reflecting on this couldn’t help but recall the time in the Divine Martial Country, the divination arranged by All-knowing Madman mentioned, a hidden large hand in the shadows manipulating the entire Martial World, even interfering with the divination.

From Emperor Shitian’s penchant for toying with human nature, even secretly influencing the Undying God to kill his wife, it seems Emperor Shitian might be the hidden hand All-knowing Madman calculated, matching perfectly with the outcome after analyzing with Ying Yuan—the hidden hand’s eccentric nature, fondness for manipulating people, reluctance to reveal identity, formidable strength, etc. (Chapter 1177)

Then, the information revealed in the final divination unlocked by a strand of remnants from Tianji Twenty-Five by All-knowing Madman—Extreme North Ancient Qin likely indicates the place where Emperor Shitian imprisoned Wu Ming, possibly where the specific location of the mysterious Heavenly Gate lies.

Upon this realization.

All unresolved thoughts in Jiang Dali’s mind gradually became clear.

At this moment, the rumbling sounds emitted from the nearby passage covered by rubble indicated someone was digging through the passage, faintly accompanied by voices calling.

"Master!"

"Divine Sovereign!"

"Village Chief!—"

Jiang Dali was about to respond when suddenly his expression stirred, his Spiritual Sense perceived a life force wave and two powerful energy auras emanating from the ruins, his expression changed slightly...
