Chen Nian stepped forward, his eyes blazing with determination. In his hand, a golden sword shimmered with a razor-sharp radiance. Before the altar, the Sun Stone shone brighter and brighter, as if aware that the fate of the world rested upon whoever claimed it.Li Huai looked at his disciple with a heavy heart.“Chen Nian, think carefully. If you take the Sun Stone, the world's seal will weaken, and the forces of darkness will flood the continent. The world will be destroyed.”Chen Nian clenched his fist and pointed his sword at Li Huai.“Then let the world be destroyed. As long as Lan Lihua lives, I will build a new world for her.”Li Huai closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again, his gaze filled with resolve.“If you choose this path, I have no other choice. As a guardian of balance, I must stop you, even if you are my disciple.”Without another word, Chen Nian moved.He shot forward at astonishing speed, his sword aimed directly at Li Huai. But Li Huai was prepared.

Inside the ancient Temple of the Primordial Flame, wrapped in silence, Li Huai stood calmly before the massive altar. A faint smile appeared on his face as he watched Chen Nian leave with unwavering determination, carrying the Fake Sun Stone that Li Huai had prepared beforehand. Chen Nian had been deceived, but Li Huai had no intention of mocking him. Everything had been carefully planned from the very beginning. “You truly are stubborn, Chen Nian. But I don't blame you. Love is a force that often drives us beyond our limits.” After making sure Chen Nian had left, Li Huai took out the Three-Petaled Dahlia Flower from his dimensional pouch. A gentle radiance flowed from the flower, illuminating the gloomy chamber with a sacred aura. Each petal contained a unique power that could only be used once in a lifetime. Li Huai sat cross-legged before the altar and began chanting an ancient incantation in a calm yet powerful voice. The ancient language echoed through the walls of the temple,

The Wong Clan was awakened by a deafening explosion at their main gate.The forces of the Gong Clan, bearing blazing red banners marked with a crowned serpent emblem, stormed in mercilessly. The disciples and elders of the Wong Clan rushed forward to intercept them, but the overwhelming energy radiating from Gong Tian, the Patriarch of the Gong Clan, filled them with dread.Amid the chaos, Gong Tian, a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and a deadly aura, stepped forward. A black spear engulfed in poisonous crimson flames rested in his hand. His sharp eyes radiated deep hatred. Behind him stood several Gong Clan elders whose auras were no less dangerous.Hearing the sounds of battle, Wong Lanang appeared at the main gate. His body was wrapped in a powerful green aura, his spear ready in hand. He stared coldly at Gong Tian.“Gong Tian! What are you doing here?” Wong Lanang demanded, even though he already knew the answer.Gong Tian sneered with hatred.“Wong Lanang, I do not wish to d

From afar, the forces of the Red Shadow Order, infamous for their dark power and infiltration abilities, arrived with astonishing speed. Two figures who appeared far stronger than ordinary warriors stepped forward, radiating terrifying auras. Both of them were at the Fifth Stage God King Realm, a level of power far above Gong Tian and the majority of the Gong Clan's warriors.At the front, the leader of the Red Shadow Order, a burly man with long flowing black hair, raised his hand. Instantly, all of the Gong Clan forces retreated, making way for the two terrifying fighters. Their power felt overwhelmingly dreadful. Even Chen Nian, who had attained extraordinary strength within the World Ring, sensed a genuine threat.“Chen Nian,” the burly man said in a deep voice that echoed across the battlefield, “you've fought enough people today. But if you think you can defeat the two of us, you're gravely mistaken. We are Gao Liang and Zhou Mei, both Fifth Stage God Kings. We've come to ensure

Li Huai appeared before Chen Nian with an indescribable smile on his face. His figure was concealed beneath a red cloak, with only his eyes visible. His smile seemed mysterious and filled with calculation.“I will settle all of this.”Li Huai's voice was calm and brimming with confidence.Gong Tian, who had been lying weakly on the ground, suddenly found a glimmer of hope in his eyes, though his injuries were still severe.However, Chen Nian's attention, having just finished the battle, was immediately drawn to Li Huai's arrival. The moment he saw the figure standing before them, he instantly recognized him.“Li Huai...”Chen Nian spoke in a low voice, filled with surprise.Li Huai looked at Chen Nian and confidently fixed his gaze upon the young man. His smile widened.“Chen Nian, you won't escape from me.”His voice carried both menace and pride. Li Huai seemed to have planned everything, and at last, this moment had arrived—the moment when he could finally gain control over Chen Ni
