"Condense!" A faint voice echoed, as if imbued with boundless magic, directly imprisoning time and space.
Luo Chuan raised his hand and pointed into the void.
Ding Ding Ding...
A crisp sound, akin to the most beautiful music, reverberated, but with each note, a beam of light burst into the sky.
"How... How is this possible?!" Chu Yunfei exclaimed in horror, while Chu Yangping's soul projection sent waves of shock. He hadn't expected his offensive to be so easily disintegrated.
"Turnabout," Luo Chuan murmured, as all the light beams shattered, and he directed his gaze towards Chu Yangping's spirit projection.
Chu Yangping's heart trembled as Luo Chuan casually grabbed the Silver Moon, causing Chu Yangping to lose control over it.
The expression on Chu Yangping's face changed drastically as he realized he had lost command of the summoned Silver Moon, his most potent attack method.
Moreover, to his horror, he observed the Silver Moon, initially a mere illusion in the sky, gradually solidify.
"This move is called Tianshi Zhenxing!" A faint voice accompanied the transformation.
The solidified Silver Moon grew larger, approaching the city below with horrifying pressure, its target Chu Yangping's Soul Projection suspended in mid-air.
As the defensive formation of Jiuyao City activated fully, a translucent light shield enveloped the city. However, the Soul Projection remained unprotected.
Residents watched in dread as the Silver Moon descended, fearing the impending catastrophe.
"Such terrifying power! Is there a noble-level hidden force in Jiuyao City?"
"Will Jiuyao City's defense withstand this? It's hopeless! We're doomed!"
"This is a clash of titans, with mortals caught in the middle..."
Imperial City.
Heavenly Star Great Emperor Ji Wuhui stood, gazing at the distant Silver Moon with concern etched on his face.
"This aura... It may surpass the Inquiry Dao realm. I didn't expect such strength within Jiuyao City. I suspect it was drawn by something in the Jiuyao Mountain Range. I hope this senior can control their power. Jiuyao City can't endure much upheaval..."
Chu Yangping watched the rapidly descending Silver Moon with alarm, sensing imminent danger.
On the Silver Moon, he felt the specter of death looming closer. However, he couldn't escape as he was locked in by the Silver Moon's aura.
In the blink of an eye, the Silver Moon descended upon Chu Yangping's Soul Projection.
The Soul Projection attempted to raise its enormous arms as if to support the falling Silver Moon, but it was futile. The Silver Moon's impact caused a deafening roar and a dazzling silver light, annihilating the Soul Projection's arms and obliterating space itself.
The collision left behind a void, a dark expanse where nothing existed.
But this was only the beginning.
The Silver Moon continued its descent unabated, while Chu Yangping's Soul Projection shattered under the overwhelming force.
Amidst the chaos, a faint voice rang out, commanding, "Retreat!"
In mere moments, the Silver Moon ceased its descent and dissipated into nothingness, leaving behind a stunned crowd.
At the Silver Moon Palace's meeting hall, Chu Yangping, projected in Jiuyao City's Divine Soul, suddenly spat out blood, his complexion turning pale.
"P... Palace Lord!"
"What happened?!"
Amidst the clamor, Chu Yangping's wife burst into the hall, her face etched with panic.
"It's bad! Yun Fei's life lamp has extinguished!" she exclaimed, sending shockwaves through the gathering.
Chu Yangping's expression darkened as he grasped the gravity of the situation. "Send word! The elders will march to Jiuyao City with me. I must confront Ji Wuhui!"
As his fury mounted, Chu Yangping disregarded consequences, his mind consumed with vengeance.
