Deep within the back mountains, as the Sky-Covering Giant Hand descended, two figures, radiating like the rising sun, burst forth.

One of them was a decrepit elder, and the other a middle-aged man around fifty years old.

“Damn it, where did this wild brat come from? This is utterly outrageous!”

The two of them were absolutely furious at this moment. They hadn’t expected the unknown Seventh-Tier expert to be so unreasonable, directly attacking without preamble.

It was important to note that when they had just released their spiritual energy, they merely intended to force the opponent back. Even though they didn’t fear those of the same tier in their own home base, they still adhered to the principle of avoiding conflict if possible.

After all, once they made a move, if they couldn’t kill the opponent, it meant they would inevitably make an enemy.

They weren’t afraid, but what about their disciples? They couldn’t all cower within the sect gates, could they?

However, they hadn’t expected the latter to suddenly go berserk.

Moreover, the probing move had already made their eyelids twitch wildly; a technique of this caliber was such that neither of them, facing it alone, would necessarily be able to block it.

What was even more terrifying to them was the opponent’s age—a mere three-year-old child, how could they be so formidable?

Where did this monstrosity come from? They knew that their Grand Azure Sect always acted with discretion and would absolutely never provoke such an odd existence.

Unfortunately, their rebuke received no response. On the contrary, the giant palm’s descent subtly increased its speed by a fraction after their words fell.

“Join forces to repel the enemy!”

The two clearly understood that explanations were useless; this confrontation had to happen.

Thus, their views instantly aligned, and their moves were no longer hesitant. Torrential spiritual energy surged from their bodies as they unleashed their respective ultimate techniques.

This opponent’s technique was too strong, forcing them not to hold back.

“Cloud-Binding Palm!”

“Eight Trigrams Lock!”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! As two low shouts rang out, scarlet chains first materialized from the air, rapidly coiling around the giant hand, attempting to block the palm.

Unfortunately, its power was clearly leagues behind. Despite its utmost efforts to block, it didn’t completely stop it, and as the tension became too great, the chains began to groan under the unbearable strain.

This scene made the middle-aged man who had cast it twitch his eyelids wildly. He hadn’t expected that even with his full power, he couldn’t stop it.

His fleshy face instantly flushed a purplish-red like pig’s liver. This wasn’t from anger, but because the spell was linked to his mind. Although spiritual energy manifested outwardly, and they clashed from a distance, the current confrontation was actually more perilous than physical combat.

If one side collapsed, their mind would suffer backlash, and the injuries would affect their physical body.

“Quick, I can’t hold on much longer!” he couldn’t help but roar out.

Just as the chains were about to self-destruct, the elder’s technique also arrived in time.

That was a palm riddled with ancient lines. After it collided head-on with the Sky-Covering Giant Hand, the pressure on the chains immediately decreased.

For a moment, the collision of three spells created a vast and undeniable commotion, intensely fierce and terrifying.

The entire Grand Azure Sect was shaken by it.

“Who dares to act so presumptuously before my Grand Azure Sect!”

“Oh no, that technique… it’s a cultivator above the Seventh-Tier. How did they fight all the way to the sect gates?”

“That’s Ancestor Xuan’an’s Cloud-Binding Hand, and Elder Cang Ming’s Eight Trigrams Lock. They… they seem to be losing.”

At first, when the Grand Azure Sect disciples discovered someone dared to attack within the sect gates, they were absolutely enraged.

However, before they could even fully flex their might, they terrifyingly discovered the opponent’s identity as a Grand Cultivator above the Seventh-Tier.

Not only that, their two Seventh-Tier Ancestors were practically getting thrashed. Realizing this, they couldn’t help but become panicked, knowing that this was the first time they had encountered such a thing since joining the sect.

If the Ancestors lost, would they have any hope of survival?

“Quick, quick, quick! Activate the formation! Quickly help the Ancestors repel the enemy!”

“This battle must not be lost, or the Grand Azure Sect might face annihilation today!”

“Quickly send messages to other sects and request support!”

The Grand Azure Sect was, after all, a major sect. Its ruling high-ranking members were all worldly individuals. After shaking off their initial shock, they quickly calmed down.

Commands were issued one after another. In such situations, the role of the backbone becomes even greater, because when people are unable to think clearly, they will almost certainly follow instructions in order to survive.

The previously chaotic situation quickly stabilized and began to operate smoothly.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Following this, the entire Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation was activated, and the formation barrier rapidly solidified.

Looking down from above, the entire Grand Azure Sect appeared as if covered by an inverted porcelain bowl. The aftershocks generated by the clash of the three Grand Cultivators were all blocked by the formation.

The stronghold formations of these major sects were all connected to the earth’s meridians and had countless formation flags. Their protective power was stable, and they could usually withstand powerful enemies of the Ancestors’ same tier.

Even a cultivator one tier higher, trying to forcefully break through the formation, wouldn’t succeed in a short amount of time.

Moreover, the sect’s Ancestors all held tokens to control the formation, fully capable of using the opponent’s strength against them.

Therefore, once the formation was activated, the cultivators within the Grand Azure Sect all calmed down.

At the same time, the two Ancestors of the Grand Azure Sect, who had previously been suppressed and looked deathly pale, found their spiritual energy, augmented by the formation, increased by several tenths. Not only did they gain the upper hand in the current exchange, but they even shattered the giant hand.

“Hahahahaha! With the myriad spells empowering us, you brat, this time it’s your turn to be punished!”

“Don’t hold back! Use the formation to kill this scourge!”

After the two straightened their backs, their faces also became excited.

It wasn’t that they hadn’t wanted to use the formation earlier, but the opponent’s offensive was too fierce, stunning them from the very beginning.

Now that the formation was activated, they were naturally unrivaled within their tier, and it was time to deal with this arrogant brat.

“Oh no, Master is in great trouble!”

Their voices were completely unmasked. Upon hearing them from outside the sect gates, Chen Qiusheng’s expression immediately changed.

Just now, seeing Master overwhelming two Seventh-Tiers in a fight, he understood why Master had attacked directly.

It was to seize the initiative!

But Master was just a little bit short of succeeding.

If they could capture a Seventh-Tier, they could exchange for their detained people. But now that the formation was activated, it would be much harder for Master to achieve their goal.

Moreover, these major sects had profound foundations; Master might well be in danger.

Chen Qiusheng paced anxiously, but there was nothing he could do to help, a fact he had known from the very beginning.

The thought that Master might lose made him couldn’t help but feel terrified.

However, his worry turned out to be fussing over nothing. Just then, a crisp, clear voice rang out:

“You can’t stop me, you know!”

“Because the game has only just begun!”

As these words fell, another spiritual energy giant hand condensed.

Unlike last time, the might of this spiritual hand far surpassed the previous one. Before it even reached them, the faces of the two formerly arrogant and overbearing Seventh-Tier Ancestors drastically changed.

Facing this sky-rending giant hand, only one thought remained in their minds—impossible to resist by force!

They fought desperately to block it, but the outcome was already sealed the moment Yaoyao used her full Eighth-Tier power.

Under the watchful eyes of all, the counter-attacking techniques of the two Seventh-Tier Ancestors instantly crumbled.

Their bodies were then overwhelmed and seized by the giant hand, their flesh and blood bodies fiercely pressed against the formation.

The power of the giant palm directly exceeded the formation’s endurance limit. The formerly sturdy and invincible formation immediately had a huge hole torn into it mid-air.

And with the formation as a whole torn apart like this, it naturally shattered and collapsed.
