The Dragon-Tiger Dharma Body made a bold move.

Amidst the endless dragon chants, the void seemed to writhe with many snake-like dark shadows.

Nine fierce and terrifying dragons charged directly towards nine directions of the city.

The next instant.

In different directions, a portal opened on its own.

They were formed from countless mysterious symbols, crafted from either bronze, silver and gold, or gemstones, opening directly mid-air, swallowing the nine fierce dragons.

Not only that.

Kerry suddenly felt a 'door' open within his heart, venting all his previous sadness, despair, and fear.

This scene happened not only to him but to everyone.

In the sky, the surface of the royal Dragon-Tiger Dharma Body suddenly appeared covered with myriad filths, like tiny insects.

They were omnipresent on the Dharma Body, invading every part, attempting to devour the filth.

This was an extraordinary being transferring all the city's negative emotions onto the Dragon-Tiger Dharma Body!

Although this royal Dragon-Tiger Dharma Body had already overcome three disasters and four calamities, breaking through the 'Second Barrier' of the 'Body Gate' and cultivating the Dharma Body, it had yet to cross the 'Mental Gate'.

Now, flooded with countless negative emotions, its spirit began to mutate.

"Nine Dragons protect me, and evil shall not invade!"

The enormous Dragon-Tiger Dharma Body instantly retreated, its surface now showing nine dragon auras emitting protective intentions, attempting to help this Dharma Body suppress its tribulations.

Amidst the dragon roars, the filth on the surface of the Dharma Body gradually dissipated.

But it was already too late!

Affected by madness and pollution, this Dharma Body's spiritual sense was clouded, and it failed to perceive the terrifying danger from behind!

Unbeknownst to when, a terrifying gigantic gate had silently opened on the path where the Dragon-Tiger Dharma Body was retreating.

It was a hundred zhang tall, each inch seemingly crafted from unknown materials, emitting a mysterious aura.

Clang!

The gate shook and opened with a bang, its interior seemingly containing countless layered doors, leading to various worlds.

A terrifying suction force, turning into an invisible vortex, directly targeted the Dragon-Tiger Dharma Body.

"No!"

The royal Dharma Body realized too late; by the time it came to its senses, a piece of its garment had already touched the gate.

In an instant, its enormous Dharma Body was twisted and deformed... entering into that vortex.

The door slammed shut, vanishing from sight.

Qingwei Dao Miao Zhenjun and Taiping Guangmiao Zhenjun hurriedly retreated.

Just one strike had extinguished the Dharma Body, the feat of a Corpse-severing Immortal!

...

In the city of Kaleston.

In the Grand Cathedral of the Church of the Traveler, countless large bells pealed.

Thousands of lights flickered, converging above the cathedral into a human shape.

He wore a simple hemp robe, his face aged, with a ruby ring on his hand.

The Grand Pastor of the Traveler Church!

The 9th rank peak demigod!

'Near-God'—Madeline Wall Saint Crown!

The 9th rank of the belief system is called [Near-God], implying the strongest person beneath the heavenly throne!

Equivalent to the eastern Corpse-severing Immortal rank!

At this moment, the Grand Pastor's eyes suddenly turned pure white, like two small suns.

Two holy lights descended, directly sealing the retreat paths of the two True Monarchs.

Clement's handsome face showed a hint of a smile, as he carefully took out a bone-made bracelet from his chest and slipped it onto his right forearm.

It was a cursed item, transformed from the 'Damp Bone Forest', possessing extremely strong negative effects, always kept sealed, personally guarded by this [Ancient One].

By the time of today's great battle, it was finally unsealed.

Its name now is — "Pale Death."

After the bone armlet was put onto the arm, it grew countless teeth and tendrils, burying themselves into the flesh.

Clement's expression remained unchanged, and his figure turned somewhat ethereal; when he solidified again, his aura had become incredibly terrifying.

His essence had apparently undergone some changes, his stature forcibly elevated.

He curved his lips upward, slowly raising his right arm toward the two True Monarchs of the Daoist sect.

Crack!

His arm burst open, flesh and bone proliferating, transforming into a pale giant hand capable merely by its presence of tearing through space.

The surface of this arm was covered with countless faces weeping in agony, oozing out death and despair.

A cultivator from the east stared dumbfounded at that arm, as if seeing the true essence of death.

In the next instant, he was breathless, fallen dead to the ground.

"The Blue Sky is dead; the Yellow Heaven should rise now!"

Taiping Guangmiao True Monarch looked at the pale giant hand that was grabbing toward him, the Yellow Heaven Dharma Body exerting its full power.

The surging twilight radiance fell, reaching the pale arm.

Wail!

Suddenly, the pale arm cried out with the wailing of many infants, as numerous wet infant heads emerged on its surface, crying while watching the Yellow Heaven Dharma Body.

Taiping Guangmiao True Monarch felt as if struck by a heavy hammer, cracks appearing on the Yellow Heaven Dharma Body, with paleness seeping from within.

"White Tiger whirls, leaderless dragons, peace under heaven!"

Behind the Dragon-Tiger Dharma Body, a vast Innate Eight Diagrams appeared, merging into the Dharma Body and causing True Monarch Zhang's aura to surge. A dragon and a tiger appeared around him, moving toward the giant hand.

Snap!

The pale giant hand struck down, slamming the two Dharma Bodies straight into the ground.

Deep in the massive pit, both Dharma Bodies swiftly crumbled, revealing the two cultivators inside.

Although the leaders of Taiping Sect and Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect weren't dead yet, they were severely wounded.

However, they were not disheartened or desperate. True Monarch Zhang even had a hint of a smile, "Is this the strength and heritage of a kingdom? If so, the Clement Kingdom must perish today!"

As his words fell, the sound of insects suddenly surged in the void!

It seemed as if countless insects filled the void, densely packed, causing a sour feeling and stirring wave after wave, moving toward Clement's arm, especially toward that armlet.

The corpse-immortal of Dragon Tiger Mountain!

He truly cared about the "Moist Bone Forest!"

The sky shattered instantly as a Daoist figure emerged.

"It" seemed infinitely large and simultaneously infinitely small, filled with a sense of contradiction, embracing Yin and Yang, without a distinction of gender, its surface covered with a thick, flowing, indescribable golden radiance.

Under that golden radiance's illumination, countless cultivators, who were on the verge of losing control and going mad after seeing that pale arm, had their expressions turn bewildered, then relaxed significantly, no longer descending into madness.

...

In the city.

Kerry was overwhelmed with intense regret.

He should not have been too curious and peeked at the battlefield.

At this moment, as he saw the pale arm and the subsequent appearance of the two corpse-immortals, he felt his nose heat up as blood gushed out.

His body felt as if it were melting.

And, as if stimulated, some sealed memories emerged directly.

"Armlet... Moist Bone Forest... I understand now..."

"No... I'm going to die. Before, just knowing almost turned me into a monster, now I... have seen it with my own eyes."

"Even with the protection from the previous Great Shepherd, any extraordinary person without sufficient stature who witnessed this battle would surely die!"

"I need to save myself, I need to pray..."

Kerry turned his back and fled hurriedly, silently praying in his heart to the revered name of Lord Shenxiu…
