"What?"

Edward Kelly couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. What does this person mean?

"Hmph! Edward, don't waste words with him, this devil is deliberately stalling for time!"

At this moment, someone among the mysterious members releasing malice and killing intent coldly snorted, seemingly trying to cover up their own unease and anxiety, while stomping their foot heavily as they spoke!

Boom——!!

In an instant, a dull sound was heard, rumbling and moving!!

As if that stomp was immensely powerful, it just happened to tread heavily on the Earth Vein, injecting an extremely strong and terrifying force into it!

Just as the human body has a knee-jerk reflex, nature also has its "key points," which are the flows of magnetic fields, ocean currents, and atmosphere, even the force flow within a planet. The nodes where Earth Veins or Dragon Veins converge—this precision strike, calculated countless times, accurately hit the "Earth Key," naturally triggering a massive counter-shock.

At almost the same time the opponent was about to act, Gu Mo sensed a certain crisis and reflexively made a response.

His silhouette instantly faded, flickering and disappearing like a phantom, not only dodging to leave the original position to avoid the attack but also actively launching an attack!

His figure appeared behind the person who took action, his long and powerful left hand with two fingers forming a sword gesture, as a three-foot sword light slashed through!

A burst of scalding blood gushed like a fountain, spraying towards the surroundings! The blood pillar shot up tens of meters high, the head that flew high had a grim expression, still retaining the horror and anger of life's last moment, unable to believe it, but everything was settled.

This person could actually react in the last moment, and from the exaggerated height of blood spraying from the carotid artery, his constitution was not something ordinary humans could have, far exceeding human limits.

Whether muscle density, nerve reflexes, or heart-lung function, all showed traces of human modification.

——However, under the sword aura that cuts through iron like mud, it was no stronger than tofu.

——This is the mystery of understanding the union of the sword and qi, a "swordsmanship" where white light kills invisibly.

Moreover, this is far from all. Under the observation of the Heart Eye, in this space region, all the mental wavelengths of everyone interweave, forming a thinking information network overlapping at the material phenomenon level, almost no secrets in Gu Mo's eyes.

So, in just microseconds, he immediately captured that thought wave just detached from the destroyed form—

Without any hesitation, he locked it with his mind intent, and a mental lash struck directly.

An invisible wave passed through the space, ruthlessly shattering that fragile consciousness!

Both sides were so decisive, taking action directly as soon as they decided, but unfortunately, one side was more fierce and aggressive, the confrontation in an instant already yielding a life-and-death outcome.

Those around them had just reacted, their expressions all changing drastically, vaguely hearing a tragic wail, a fear of being shattered into soul fragments, but it stopped abruptly. They also had considerable spiritual power, so they noticed this.

Rumble!!

Just as the head shot high, and the scalding blood shot skyward hadn't stopped, the entire ground suddenly shook violently.

Though Gu Mo rushed forward to kill with extreme speed and decisiveness, it was still a bit too late. Around the same time both performed their actions, he beheaded the opponent, shattered their soul, and the opponent completed the stomping motion.

Like activating some giant machine's switch—

The next moment, using the stomp's landing point as the center, within many miles' radius, on the desolate ground appeared numerous bright red lines, pure incandescent glory shimmering within!

It was the extracted pure spirit stone energy, driving the power of miracles of the Essence Secret Technique, like connecting an electric source in a flash of lightning...

——Lines lit successively! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

These countless twisted lines combined into esoteric patterns, "lines" forming "points" at intersections, "points" and "lines" connecting into "planes," the whole earth like sinking, from above a vast alchemy array emerged on the ground.

In an instant, the surrounding space seemed to suddenly curve!

Within the giant alchemy array's range, the unknown Essence Secret Technique's area of influence, all air and dust like being brutally clumped together by immense force, fiercely drawn towards the center in an intense swirl!

Also, within a very short time, the air experienced violent distortion and compression, like a water surface churning ripples, creating a terrifying visible phenomenon, seemingly as if the space were compressing, awful folds appearing layer upon layer...

"Um——!!"

At this moment, Gu Mo just subconsciously lifted into the air, intending to leave the original position before being ruthlessly pressed from the high altitude.

He involuntarily grunted, his expression also couldn't help but slightly change!

Because an incomparably majestic and incredibly heavy terrifying pressure suddenly appeared from the void, like an entire invisible colossal mountain crashing down, covering him heavily at lightning speed, as if an invisible giant intended to crush a soda can!

Almost in an instant, Gu Mo's body entered a collapsing state under the crazily surging pressure.

Even though multiple barriers and mind fields were instantly established, they were of no use, unable to resist even for a moment, like soap bubbles bursting one after another.

The puppet-like figure cracked like porcelain, with countless fissures spreading across the surface of its body, even lines appearing on its cheeks, and faint beams of light seemed to seep through the gaps, as if there was a light source inside, emitting a soft glow.

This is the spiritual light of the Primordial Spirit.

After all, the key to the formation of this avatar was simulating the existence of a Heroic Spirit Servant.

The vast spiritual will, through the power of Spiritual Body Projection, created an information core similar to a Spirit Core. Although the framework constructed by "ether" simulated the characteristics of flesh and blood, it possessed a body strength beyond the typical material level, unmatched by ordinary flesh.

However, even such a physique, under the suddenly multiplied gravity field at this moment, almost completely fell apart!

"Do it!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

At this moment, the others, horrified and enraged, finally reacted completely, shouting out in anger and fear. After all, they had assumed the situation was entirely in their favor, never expecting a careless moment leading to one of them being directly killed by this fierce individual!

Moreover, the unfortunate one couldn't even transfer consciousness, their soul extracted and scattered on the spot!

How could they not be terrified and regretful?

At this moment, all sorts of essence secret techniques were unleashed, the Power of Miracles from Spirit Stones shining forth, showcasing magical attacks of different attributes, fiercely bombarding the seemingly restrained and powerless, action-hindered Gu Mo under the gravity field!

Red substances decomposed by alchemy...

Bizarre colors released from the flask...

And various evil-energy rays...

Added with lightning strikes, ice spikes, poison mist, silently creeping curses like shadows, and more, the momentum was overwhelmingly grand, engulfing the target's silhouette with lavish and direct might.

Dazzling special effects and light shone continuously, illuminating the nighttime scene.

If an ordinary person were present to witness this, their retinas would likely be burned by the intense burst of light they received in an instant.

The continuous barrage and bombardment caused a surge of energy, creating a grand and shocking scene as if successive natural disasters were descending!

No one dared hold back, their eyes red, pouring out all their stored essence energy as if without care, continuously launching intensive attacks, uttering incomprehensible shouts, seemingly to pump themselves up and also to urge each other not to stop...

After all, this Eastern devil before them was the beginning of damnation, the source of all sins. Although he's nowhere near as terrifying as he would be in the future, he still must not be underestimated.

Especially just having lost a core member, the bloody price paid served as a gruesomely profound lesson!

—Die!

—Go to hell!

The vast power of Spirit Stones accumulated until now was prepared precisely for this moment, and wasting or not, as long as they could kill this source of all evils ahead of schedule to restore everything to the right track, then everything was worth it!

With this mindset, from excitement and fervor to hostility and hatred, along with a fear many were reluctant to admit even to themselves, it all transformed into their frenzied driving force, making them unleash various terrifying essence secret techniques madly, round after round of bombardment!

Metal was about to vaporize!

Ordinary matter couldn't even manage to ignite, turning into ash instantly!

They had prepared for a long time, calculating everything, and solely relying on the mutated aberrant gravity field was enough to crush the enemy alive... After all, a high multiple gravity could crush mountains, flattening peaks. If the scale of the alchemy array was grand enough, theoretically, even continents couldn't withstand it.

Under such gravitational anomalies, the continental shelf would collapse and tear apart.

Now, though this large alchemy array was only about the size of a small city, focusing entirely on one target, it definitely could restrain him, and with their full-force attack now, this despicable devil was destined to fall here today!

"Ah!"

"How could you..."

"No——!!"

But just when they were red-eyed, madly pouring saturated firepower, suddenly they heard a scream from the side, looking up in shock and anger, finding across were several heads flying high with columns of blood.

The person who brazenly acted wore black robes, remarkably one of their own!

But at this moment, killing their own without mercy, this person merely activated essence secret techniques, casting a faint glow to directly decapitate two people nearest!

At the same time, the person's other hand reached out, gently hooking towards the other side, mere finger movements softly pulling something invisible from the air seemingly, extracting something unseen, as several people on that side, from a distance, tilted, their eyes rolling back, collapsing softly.

—Soul Extraction!
