Long Di's heart nearly dropped when this happened as he looked over to where Yaomu Shou and the others were.

“Get away! Run as far as possible!”

****

He injected as much emotion into his voice as possible, which was none, but the volume of his cry instilled a feeling of danger and a need to move within them.

Yaomu Shou grabbed Nao Shan who was mostly immobile and in an imperial manner commanded everyone here!

“Go!”

Shu!

She didn’t wait to see if they followed her save for Yaomu Baiyin who didn’t question her orders and took off at full speed.

Two of the other demon race experts took up the Mountain and Sky Shield since Nao Shan was too injured to carry it before running off with the rest.

They had only just arrived where Mina was who saw them before her gaze landed on Long Di and his situation. This prompted her to put the manga away before she proceeded to haul ass and get away from the blast zone as fast as possible.

“Long Di, if we die here I’ll kill you!” Mina yelled as she ran with all her might. What other goddess ever had to run this much!? Long Di was a plague, a plague!

Seeing this, Long Di was still full of apprehension since their rate of escape was too slow.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless minor explosions stole Long Di’s attention as he looked back over to see the air exploding in several areas around the Thunder Dragon Rhino!

The pressure it radiated was enough to even cause space itself to shudder, and its power only rose as time went on.

“Well, you’re just a vindictive son of a rhino aren’t you!?”

Krrsssh!

As if answering Long Di’s question, the lightning that Long Di knew it had used up before returned with a vengeance!

Long Di was clearly aware of what this was. The Thunder Dragon Rhino ignited the blood qi in its body to draw out the latent potential power left in its body, and not just any blood qi, the dragon blood qi!

This brought its power and strength to a point that was past its peak!

Space being broken down in such a way was a sign that it was approaching the realms of a rank 5 magical beast, which was a terrifying existence in any capacity!

Long Di couldn’t allow its strength to reach these ranks, as he wasn’t sure if he could survive the aftermath of whatever it had in mind.

Oh hell, who was he kidding? He knew he couldn’t survive.

Though Long Di was well aware that this state couldn’t last long, he knew that if he didn’t deal with this properly, he wouldn’t last long either.

The Thunder Dragon Rhino didn’t move, as the loss of one of its forelegs resulted in it remaining stationary.

So instead of using this energy to attack Long Di like it would want to, it instead began charging the coruscating lightning energy within its horn and the silver scales that covered its body in patches, causing them to release an intense glow!

It was going to blow itself up and bring Long Di down with it! This was a realm of pettiness that even Long Di had to look up to!

Slap!

Long Di dismissed his sabre and clapped his palms together, causing a plume of Crimson Horizon Earth Flame to erupt from within!

Whoosh!

His spiritual force unfurled in full force, which brought the heat and power of his earth flame to the utmost of what he could possibly manage.

He had to stop the Thunder Dragon Rhino before it got too powerful!

He spared a glance to Mina and the others to see where they were and saw that they weren’t free of the area of effect, so he split a portion of his raging spiritual force to summon his tribulation lightning energy and created a dome that shielded both him and the Thunder Dragon Rhino from others.

When this was created, he then brought the heat and power of the Crimson Horizon Earth Flame to the extreme before…

Boom!

A massive explosion went off that caused the foundations of the land to weep and the skies to change colour!

Yaomu Shou and the others felt like the apocalypse was upon them as the level of power they felt behind them escaped their realm of understanding!

Realising they weren’t dead, they looked behind them to witness a fearsome sight.

A giant dome of lightning with fire and lightning in a constant state of struggle came into view!

This meant that a portion of the power was being held at bay somehow and they were only experiencing only a modicum of its power!

Pling!

A sound that caused their hearts to rise to their throat echoed as they looked back once more to see the dome with cracks all over until…

Pssshh

Boom!

The dome broke apart, unleashing the remaining force explosion upon the land.

“Stop and defend!”

“Mina get in the middle!”

“You don’t have to tell me twice!”

“You two! Lend me that for a second!”

“Yaomu Baiyin use the bracers in tandem with Juedi Bulwark!”

Yaomu Shou barked her orders in quick succession. As of now, she was like a general on the battlefield.

D-D-D-Dum!

Several cauldrons erupted in an instant among them as they activated their best defensive techniques. At the forefront of it all was the Mountain and Sky Shield with Yaomu Shou at the helm!

The shockwaves of the explosion came upon them in no time and covered the land for miles around!

The wind generated by this explosion was enough to kill even powerful body cultivators!

Once the blast died down, the landscape underwent a massive change.

Where once there was a sprawling jungle for as far as the eye could see, there was now a barren wasteland.

An aura of destruction and stifling heat energy filled the air.

“Bwah!”

A breath of air sounded out as a hand, and a head sprouted from the earth like bamboo shoots after the rain.

It was Yaomu Shou swiftly followed by Mina then the others who were worse for wear after the ordeal.

Fear still lingered in their eyes in the end, especially when they saw what became of the terrain.

Ta, ta, ta, ta…

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps seized their notice as they looked over to see a flaming existence with a massive ornately decorated silver sabre in hand.

They immediately recognised the flaming existence and gulped in dread at the powerhouse before them.

They also eyed the sabre it wielded, which was different from what it used before, but couldn’t shake the feeling that it was familiar somehow.

The flames slowly receded to reveal a young man with an impassive expression staring at them.

They stared gobsmacked at him and the meaning his current state told them. It wasn’t enough that he was still standing after such a cataclysmic move. Beyond that, he was fine without so much as a scratch on him!

What did this mean!? How strong was he!? What WAS he!? Is he human!? He couldn’t be! Yaomu Shou called him a friend!

Then, as if on a mission to derail their already turbulent train of thought, he thrust them into the cultivation world’s equivalent of the Great Train Wreck of 1918 by asking.

“Has anyone ever had diarrhoea to the point where your butt swells shut thus causing any fart to bounce back in your body?.... Asking for a friend…”
