In the black ball of light, a black claw reached out. The back of the claw was covered with black hair, all of which stood upright. They seemed as hard as metal, and the center of the palm was dark green.

The palm illustrated what it meant to cover the sky with one’s hands. In fact, the expression may not even fully account for how big it is.

The hand came straight for Inferno Emperor City. The Lu Yuan Grand Sage, Lin Tong and the rest did not feel as if the sun had disappeared. Instead, the light above their head was still clear.

However, they all felt that the world they were in was now in the palm of this huge hand.

The giant Inferno Emperor City felt as small as a grain of sand at this moment as the hand grabbed it.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage inhaled and said, “This is a manifestation of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s ability! Using their essence and some magic treasure, they are able to summon the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage here!”

Covered by the huge hand, the surrounding skies shook violently. The void appeared to be on the verge of splitting at any moment.

Spiritual energy everywhere was completely messed up. In the sky above Inferno Emperor City, fires flickered and danced. One could sense a huge energy.

The distortion of time and space appeared to be controlled. Inferno Emperor City started to grow in size. At the same time, it expanded in all four directions as it tried to break free from the giant palm.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage, Lin Tong, Long Shenke and the rest would not sit there waiting for their death. They all tried to resist the claw.

The Primordial Fire Grand Formation had been pushed to its maximum potential by Lin Tong, Duan Muhong and the rest. Instead of its offensive form (the phoenix), it took on the shape and form of a tree made from fire.

While this tree was made from fire, everyone present could feel its powerful vital energy. Gradually, it turned into a defensive force.

It was a Divine Parasol Tree whose branches reached high into the skies. The branches stretched high into the skies as they resisted the great, black claw of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage that came crashing down onto it.

Long Shenke and the Lu Yuan Grand Sage used their energy to support Lin Tong, which was controlling the Yin Yang Burning Heavens Formation, to resist the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

“They use a magic treasure to temporarily summon him. It can’t be long, as the three of them cannot sustain it for too long too. Their essence will be wiped clean,” said the Lu Yuan Grand Sage in a low voice.

Lin Tong and Long Shenke both knew this principle too. However, that’s not the same as surviving the challenging situation before them.

The two sides clashed with each other. Lin Tong and the rest felt their bodies shake as an indescribable pressure came down on them.

The space around them, which was distorted, fell into an odd silence. The humongous black claw resisted against the power of Inferno Emperor City, which seemingly caused time to stop.

In the next instant, the area surrounding Inferno Emperor City, which the city had tried to expand, was stopped once more by the huge claw.

Time was further distorted and then, shrunk. While its speed was slow, one could tell that an irreversible force was slowly falling into the grasp of the claw.

The dark-green palm suppressed the many primordial fires that dared to burn it. It eliminated the white demon light that the Lu Yuan Grand Sage spewed out and completely overpowered Long Shenke.

The fire took the shape of the Divine Parasol Tree, which seemed to brim with life. However, it too was suppressed by this huge force.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage’s Ten Thousand Mirror Appearances was rendered useless before this black claw too. His and Long Shenke’s physical strength, in the face of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, were akin to that of a child.

The dark-green claw did not use tap on some arcane Daoist principle, nor did it try to counter the Primordial Fire Grand Formation by exploiting its elemental weakness.

Everything it did was based on its vast, raw physical strength. With its palm and its fingers, it seemed capable of squishing the world and destroying the heavens!

All it had was strength. Its strength was powerful enough to upset the natural order of the Dao, and the only demon that possessed this strength was the Vipralopa Stage Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

The Lu Yuan Grand Sage, Lin Tong, Long Shenke and the rest felt their hearts sink.

They could accurately predict that before the three demons gave up, Inferno Emperor City would fall.

At this moment, Inferno Emperor City appeared as weak and fragile as a leaf in a thunderstorm.

However, the cliff near the city, which was built from a spiritual mountain, suddenly shone. The three words carved into the cliff, ‘Emperor’, ‘Yan’, and ‘City’, all started to shine with light.

Purple radiance shone from the carvings on the cliff and blasted out. They turned into purple auspicious clouds, which caused Inferno Emperor City, currently surrounded by burning flames, to appear even bigger.

In the next instant, in the center of the purple auspicious clouds, one could see rays of thunder flashing.

The many rays of thunder were not uni-colored. They were formed from the colors red, yellow, green and blue. Each ray of lightning appeared formed from many different threads made from these four colors. Together, they appeared extremely mysterious as the four colors were able to form a single ray of lightning. However, each color could be seen clearly.

On top of these four-colored bolts of lightning, one could see black and white lights crisscrossing with each other.

When the Yue Cheng Grand Sage, the Extreme Spiritual Grand Sage, and the Suan Ni Grand Sage saw it, they all panicked. In the skies above their heads, a voice resonated from the black ball where the hand came from, “Eh, Lin Feng?”

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was able to detect the source of the four-colored lightning. It was the Four Appearances Two Elements Divine Thunder from Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar.

This was a new thunder-type attack that Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar had come up with. It could not be found anywhere else and was even more powerful than the Eight Barrens Divine Lightning of the Thunder Dragons.

At that moment, the Yue Cheng Grand Sage, the Extreme Spiritual Grand Sage, and the Suan Ni Grand Sage all felt bitterness in their hearts.

When the city was first established, Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar carved the three words for his most senior disciple.

This technique was something rather common in the Grand Celestial World. However, what made the hearts of the Yue Cheng Grand Sage and the rest sink was the fact that the words left by Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar not only shone with four-colored thunder light, but it also had purple auspicious clouds. These were all marks of Lin Feng’s own powers.

Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar was powerful in its own right, but it could not compare to the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. However, faced with the Yue Cheng Grand Sage and the rest, they were unable to lift the restriction on these words. However, once the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage attacked, the restrictions would soon be lifted.

Supported by the purple auspicious clouds, the four-colored thunder would be endless and infinite.

As the four-colored thunder, surrounded by black and white light, flashed, they soon combined with the primordial fire around Inferno Emperor City. The light turned into red, green, yellow and blue dragons of different colors. Around their bodies, the Grand Sun Primordial Flame, the True Torch of Kṣitigarbha, and the Pure Yang Primordial Fire could be seen.

The light shadow of the Thunder Dragon Avatar roared and its sound reverberated across the nine heavens. It rose into the sky, which caused time and space around Inferno Emperor City to expand massively. Soon, the city broke free from the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s claws.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage snorted coldly and its humongous demon claw retracted slightly. Then, it curled up into the shape of a fist like a huge hammer. Then, it came smashing down onto the thunder dragon and the city!

The thunder dragon roared and its body rose and fell in the sea of purple clouds. Neither its head nor its tail could be seen.

The four-colored thunder light shone out from the sea of purple clouds and combined with the intense flames. As thunder and fires burned and blazed, they turned into a huge pillar of light. Thunder and fire crisscrossed in the center of the pillar of light. Piercing through the heaven and earth, it extended up to meet the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s fist.

The two sides clashed in mid-air, sending shockwaves in all directions.

Space was completely destroyed. Tears in space healed themselves in the sky and then turned into lines after lines of horrifying black tears. This caused the entire area in the Barren Expanses to resemble a shattered mirror as if it was on the verge of destruction.

Between the heaven and earth, one could see many shattered pieces of thunder and embers. It was like Hell.

From the void, one could hear the cold snorting of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. Then, its giant dark-green claw retracted back into the ball of light.

When the three demons saw this scene, their hearts turned cold.

Earlier, before they were no longer to sustain it, their opponents’ defenses were broken one-by-one.

Right now, the situation had been reversed. No one knew when could the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage take Inferno Emperor City. However, before that, the three of them would surely perish.

After his claws retracted back into the black ball of light, it disappeared too as if it had never existed.

The three demons roared in frustration. Then, they flew back.

If there were only the Lu Yuan Grand Sage, Lin Tong, and Long Shenke, the three demons would have no problem taking the city and then escaping.

However, the roaring thunder dragon rushed out from the purple clouds and made straight for the three Undying Demon Soul Third Level demons!

Their faces changed color. As the four-colored thunder dragon danced in the sky, it was as if Lin Feng had personally descended on top of his Thunder Dragon Avatar. They could all sense their death coming.

However, at this very moment, the skies far from Inferno Emperor City trembled and a huge figure walked out from it.

It was a white-headed, red-feet giant ape. Its body was white as jade and its four limbs, which touched the ground, burned like fire.

It was unimaginably big as it stood between the heaven and earth. Its red eyes flashed with green light.

Its powerful demonic energy shook the heaven and earth. It was a Vipralopa Stage ape-type demon, and that could only be the leader of the Crimson Gorilla Ape Demon Tribe, the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage.

Unlike the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, he was actually there. He hid in the shadows and did not come out up till now to prevent the most powerful cultivators of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, such as Xiao Yan, from appearing. All he did was to observe.

However, at this moment, he could no longer not act.

The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage stood unmoving in the void. Green and red rays of light shone out from his eyes. Where the light touched, the void appeared to have solidified. Even the powerful thunder dragon slowed.

In the next instant, the void was distorted rapidly. Heaven and earth sank into a torrent of thunder and fire.

At this moment, the heavens opened and revealed the endless calamities of the Netherworld Sea. A voice came from within, “Crimson Gorilla Zhu Ri, have you finally decided to show yourself?”
