"Hahahaha! This trip was worth it! Phantylia told me there was an Emissary-level Pathstrider of Causality on the Xianzhou Luofu, and now it seems she was right, hahaha…!"
Zephyro laughed maniacally, one hand covering his face, his smile deranged, like an evil spirit returning from the depths of the underworld.
"Phantylia?"
"The Annihilation Lord Phantylia?"
Hearing the name Phantylia, both Qingque and Jing Yuan frowned simultaneously—the former because she had never heard the name, the latter out of concern for the Xianzhou Luofu.
"Phantylia? Who's that?"
Hearing the name, Qingque couldn't help but frown. Though unfamiliar, the fact that it came from the mouth of an Annihilation Lord meant this Phantylia was no ordinary figure—likely Zephyro's ally!
"Hehehe!" In response to Qingque, the Emissary of Causality's question, Zephyro merely sneered dismissively before speaking. "Hehehe, young lady, your curiosity is quite something."
"To be honest, I do know her. But what does that have to do with me? Emissary of Causality, instead of worrying about that, I suggest you focus on your own safety…"
At this point, Zephyro paused, his lips twisting into a chilling, sinister grin. "Emissary of Causality, you'd better worry about your own safety!!!"
…
"This aura… it's the power of an Emissary of Destruction!"
As Zephyro's aura erupted unrestrained, Dan Heng, who was at the Vidyadhara encampment tirelessly teaching Bailu, furrowed his brow and turned his gaze toward the source of the aura.
"I have to go support them!"
Sensing the Emissary's aura in the air, our Vidyadhara Dragon Lord Dan Heng frowned.
No matter how much he disliked it, the Xianzhou was once his home! Now that his homeland was under threat, how could Dan Heng, a man with a conscience, stand by and do nothing?
With this thought, the power of the Path surged within the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord Imbibitor Lunae. The next moment, lotus flowers bloomed beneath Dan Heng's feet, and in a few breaths, the handsome youth dashed dozens of kilometers, vanishing from Bailu's sight.
"Huh?!" Seeing Dan Heng suddenly use a secret technique to escape, our Miss Bailu was momentarily stunned. In the blink of an eye, Dan Heng was gone.
"Aaah! A-Fan, A-Fan, the teacher you found for me just ran away!!"
…
"Thank me properly, you pathetic Xianzhou humans. You're nothing but ants. You should feel honored that I, an Emissary of Destruction, am sending you on your way."
With these words, Zephyro suddenly raised his arm, pointing toward the center of the vortex.
"I, the Emissary of Destruction, the one who severs all, call upon the boundless power of Destruction! Follow my will and crush everything to dust!!!"
As Zephyro's words fell, countless red lightning bolts flashed from the vortex.
Crash…!
With a torrential sound, a deluge of rain poured from the sky, drenching the earth below.
Buzz—!!
"Why is this rain green? It seems different from before!"
"I've never seen this either, but now that you mention it, this scene does resemble acid rain."
"Acid rain? That's such an ancient term. Besides, the Xianzhou is essentially a spaceship—would acid rain even affect it?"
"…"
Crash! Crash…!!
Torrential rain fell from the heavens, raindrops infused with the power of Destruction landing on the Xianzhou residents.
"Aaah—!"
"It hurts, no—!"
"What is this stuff? General, save us!!"
The moment the rain touched their skin, screams rang out past Jing Yuan and Qingque's ears. Both frowned gravely.
Truthfully, Qingque was in a better position. Theoretically, as long as she had enough Path energy, Qingque, wielding the authority of Causality, could turn the wheel of time and revive those who had perished.
Of course, resurrection was far more complex than simple alterations, requiring an immense amount of power.
For an Emissary of the Hunt, whose strength leaned toward combat, protecting civilians from an opponent of the same level was an incredibly difficult task.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!!
With the General's command, the Thunder Palace Overseer, Driver of Thunder and Lightning, Pursuer of Demons, and Sweeper of Filth, Heavenly Lord behind him swung its thunderous blade, striking down the meteors.
As the General had hoped, the Divine Lord's attack shattered the meteors into fragments.
But unfortunately, even as fragments, under the influence of the Path of Destruction, these shards still fell like ferocious tigers, scattering across every corner of the Xianzhou.
"Damn it!"
Though powerless to fully resist, Jing Yuan, as a General, would never give up even a sliver of hope. With his call, the thousand-meter thunderous form of the Divine Lord moved from behind him to stand before him.
As a creation of the Hunt Aeon Lan, the Thunder Palace Overseer, Driver of Thunder and Lightning, Pursuer of Demons, and Sweeper of Filth, Heavenly Lord was undeniably powerful.
"All who bear malice toward the Alliance shall face the judgment of the Divine Lord!"

"Waaah…! Big liar, the former Dragon Lord is a big liar!"
At the Vidyadhara encampment, our Miss Bailu sat with her knees drawn up, curled into a small, adorable ball, crying softly.
"Hey, hey, hey, who do we have here? Oh, isn't this our little Bailu? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"
Hearing Bailu's sobs, Yun Fan, who had been watching the commotion nearby, couldn't help himself.
Truthfully, though he was a single dog in his past life, he had little resistance to girls—especially crying girls.
"A-Fan, A-Fan!"
Wiping the tears from her eyes and seeing that it was Yun Fan, our next-generation Dragon Lord finally dried her tears.
"A-Fan, A-Fan, the teacher you found for me ran away!"
