Su Jie had a smile on his lips, the Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder crackled all over his body, his spiritual power was unfathomable, and his aura completely suppressed Dong Yu. "Enough with the nonsense, you, Su Jie, are not qualified to destroy my Guan Chao Pavilion." Dong Yu gritted his teeth and tossed the Green Wave Furious Tide Umbrella in his hand. The umbrella, painted with patterns of spring tide and a bright moon over the sea, opened and spun rapidly above Dong Yu’s head. In the next moment, boundless green tidal waves arose from the void, waves surging and rising, rolling up nine layers of waves, covering all eight directions with clouds, like an ocean pressing down on Su Jie. "Let’s see what you’re capable of, Elder Dong." Su Jie flicked the Seven Luminaries Star Lord Ring in his hand, and volcanoes erupted beneath his feet. The fiery lava resisted the vast green waves, but as a low-grade spiritual treasure, the Seven Luminaries Star Lord Ring naturally could not compete with a mid-grade spiritual treasure, and the volcanoes were continuously compressed. However, Su Jie was not at all anxious, and he proceeded to perform the Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill. A mighty blood cloud unfolded immediately, the rolling blood cloud corroding the vast green sea, as thousands of layers of blood waves surged towards Dong Yu, startling Dong Yu to retreat. In this way, Su Jie managed to suppress Dong Yu while simultaneously using the blood sea to envelop each Guan Chao Pavilion disciple. Looking around, with the Firefly Sea as the boundary, on the eastern side of the battlefield, Han Ruyan wielded the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the sword mountain and fire sea rampaging across the battlefield, countless Yin Souls transformed into terrifying creatures, tearing apart the soul of each cultivator and merging into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. To the west was the raging Blood Sea created by Su Jie, the surging Blood Sea devouring the life force of one righteous cultivator after another, those swept into it could only dissolve and become part of the Blood Sea. As for the Thousand-Handed Centipede and the Taoist Platform Realm battle power of Ghost Ridge Palace, they were engaged with the high-level battle forces of the righteous sect. The righteous cultivators were in a dire situation, having first suffered losses from a nuclear explosion, then encountering Su Jie, Qingzhou’s most formidable devil. Their original numbers, over a hundred thousand, had been reduced by more than half. They were incidentally affected, and if they were specifically targeted by Su Jie, the team would likely have dwindled to none by now. This is the impact that top-level powerhouses have on the battlefield. And at this moment, the army from Ghost Ridge Palace finally returned to the battlefield. Initially retreating due to the launch of a nuclear bomb, the Ghost Ridge Palace forces now returned after the sect elders entered the fight, and immediately rejoined the battle. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Countless rockets and shells fell into the ranks of the Guan Chao Pavilion cultivators, the fierce shelling tearing through the scorched earth, severed corpses and limbs flying. The mechanized army of Ghost Ridge Palace, with their rocket artillery and Spider Main Battle Mecha, conducted long-range bombardments, bullying with their range. Guan Chao Pavilion could not withstand this assault. They originally planned to use their geographical advantage; being masters in manipulating water and waves, if Ghost Ridge Palace disciples attacked directly, they would raise wild waves, drowning those ignorant demon cultivators in the lake’s depths. Instead of facing Ghost Ridge Palace cultivators, they were met with countless falling shells. The Guan Chao Pavilion disciples, who had previously faced sect wars, were not unfamiliar with these shells; many had taken rocket artillery hits before. Now seeing the Ghost Ridge Palace cultivator forces relying on their long-range attacks and unilaterally bombarding, it surpassed the attack range of most cultivators. Even the Secret Realm Elders among the righteous cultivators couldn’t bear it, flying towards Ghost Ridge Palace to attack, and many Guan Chao Pavilion disciples couldn’t hold back, actively attacking Ghost Ridge Palace’s side. The battlefield reached a white-hot intensity at this moment, the sound of battle cries shaking the heavens and earth. The millennia-old, unyielding Mountain Protection Array of Guan Chao Pavilion had dimmed like a dying candle; the Secret Realm cultivators of Ghost Ridge Palace flew arrogantly through the air. An elder controlled a hand-sized poisonous insect to smash a jade pillar, spraying venomous liquid that splashed onto disciples forming an array below, poisoning them to death live. "Sea Covering!" A Guan Chao Pavilion elder, his hair and beard flaring, launched a massive wave from his palm, transforming into a huge water whale aiming to swallow the Ghost Ridge Palace elder. The Ghost Ridge Palace elder sneered coldly, as a tide of insects surged beneath his black robe, his body became grotesquely deformed, with a hundred eyes on his head, four arms at his waist, and his legs transformed into eight insect limbs, turning into a hideous human insect over three meters tall, resembling a humanoid hundred-eyed spider, blocking the whale’s impact with his physical body. This was Ghost Ridge Palace’s Human Worm Refining Technique. The two engaged in bloody combat in the air, the aftermath constantly weakening the last spirit patterns of the Mountain Protection Array, and fragments of the glass-like barrier fell like spring rain. A minute later, their battle shifted from the sky to the ground, and finally, the Ghost Ridge Palace elder’s arms tightly coiled around the Guan Chao Pavilion elder’s ankle. Both were covered in blood, but in the end, the demon cultivators displayed more tenacious life force, especially the elders who cultivated the Human Worm Refining Technique, transforming their bodies into something akin to poisonous insects. Their life force was comparable to that of bugs, unaffected despite their chest and abdomen being torn open and an eye bursting. With a cruel grin, he exerted force abruptly, under the despairing gaze of the Guan Chao Pavilion elder, tearing him from his feet, the entire person split into two, blood and viscera spilled on the ground. "Activate the sword array!" An elder from the Golden Sword Sect, upon seeing this, signaled his sect disciples. Over a hundred Golden Sword Sect disciples sat cross-legged, simultaneously cutting their wrists, and as the lines of blood formed scarlet talismans in the air, they integrated into their Flying Swords. The Gold Sword Sect elder’s longsword flew into the air, causing over a hundred Flying Swords from his disciples to follow, the whole mountain hearing a dragon-like sword cry, and the sword light spilled like a galaxy. The foremost hundred-eyed spider instantly became a blood mist, several Ghost Ridge Palace elders either injured or retreating, the prowess of the sword cultivators proved formidable among peers, despite being ineffective against Su Jie. Yet, his action caught the attention of Han Ruyan, and with just a glance from Han Ruyan, a silent curse descended. Both the Golden Sword Sect elder and the hundred disciples forming the array were utterly silenced, their features erased, draped in ceremonial robes of mourning, and died on the spot. The battle on the ground was equally fierce. Several disciples from the Dragon and Tiger Sect had just approached when a rumbling beneath the ground erupted, three muscle-covered meat vines broke the surface, showers of human-faced moths spewed from the ruptured segments, rapidly devouring their bodies. Hundreds of meters away, a Ghost Ridge Palace inner disciple hiding behind a tree with a sinister smile used the meat vines from underground to unexpectedly send human-faced moths to the enemy’s position with success. A female inner disciple from Miao Yin Temple, witnessing this scene, was incensed. With a flick of her sleeve, twelve jade shuttles flew from her sleeve, accurately piercing several hundred meters towards the Ghost Ridge Palace disciple. This Ghost Ridge Palace disciple had anticipated this, and before the attack landed, a swarm of human-faced moths flew out from his waist’s Insect Control Bag, forming an insect cloud that evaded the threat, the wounds merely superficial to some human-faced moths, demonstrating the prowess of Ghost Ridge Palace’s signature magic, the Body Worm Focusing Method. "Miao Yin Temple’s Vast Righteous Qi is only fit to fuel my Gu Ding." This Ghost Ridge Palace disciple let out a hoarse laugh, as a hideous insect emerged from the meat tumor split open at the back of his neck, swelling visibly, morphing swiftly into a six-eyed toad three-meters large, bounding towards the Miao Yin Temple female cultivator. "You think you can..." The Miao Yin Temple female cultivator hadn’t finished her words when a shell blasted in her direction. She dodged urgently, yet was still affected by the shockwave, her internal energy in turmoil, not yet stabilized when she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist, encircled by a sticky and fleshy tongue. The Miao Yin Temple female cultivator’s face showed panic, eager to struggle, but as her skin contacted the tongue, toxins invaded her body, causing paralysis. With a squelch!

The demon cultivator from Ghost Ridge Palace smiled smugly and waved towards a Spider Main Battle Mecha on the other side; they were actually part of a small team with prearranged cooperation. Over a thousand Spider Main Battle Mechas from Ghost Ridge Palace demonstrated enormous utility on the battlefield. They could not only crash through enemy lines but also coordinate with disciples for mutual cooperation, leaving the righteous cultivators beleaguered and anxious.
