I looked up into the sky amidst the rumbling roar.

The vast sky seemed to have been torn open by a demon god, with the endless void connected behind the firmament.

The suffocating darkness beyond the sky made it impossible to tell whether it was the Celestial Realm or the Netherworld that was about to overlap with the Yang Jian.

Soon after, a deafening roar, like the collapse of the heavens, pressed down from the gap in the firmament towards Liangjie Mountain.

In a moment, a corner of a giant city, as if built of black rock, protruded from Liangjie Mountain. Countless black chains, like tangled hair, shot out from the city's edge, continuously striking into the mountain.

For a time, Liangjie Mountain was filled with flying earth and dust. Shattered rocks, like an erupting flood, covered the mountain paths, tumbling down in a continuous stream. Giant trees at the foot of the mountain snapped and fell like harvested rice stalks, scattered all over the ground.

At the same time, flags fluttered near the Heavenly Prison. The iron chains embedded in the mountain tightened, and the Heavenly Prison, appearing in a corner of the void, suddenly rose backward like a seesaw. The foundation of Liangjie Mountain echoed with the roar of the earth cracking. As the towering mountain swayed, it rose inch by inch.

Zhu Zining smiled and said, "Did you see that? This is the secret art of Di Xiansheng – Moving Mountains and Shattering Peaks."

"After the Holy Lord uses the power of the Heavenly Prison to move Liangjie Mountain into the void, masters of术道 (Shu Dao, esoteric arts) will have no chance to touch it unless they sprout wings."

"The Tian Hun (Heavenly Soul), however, can descend along the mountain and strike directly at the Shu Dao from the air."

"How can you possibly win against me?"

"Li Po, prepare your blade and slit your throat!"

"I want to see how you use the black and white blades to cut off your own head."

I said coldly, "The outcome is not yet decided. You're celebrating too early."

The reason why the Shu Dao chose Liangjie Mountain as the main battlefield to block the Tian Hun was that, besides the Heavenly Prison only being able to open a void above Liangjie Mountain, another reason was that Liangjie Mountain had a special restriction on the Tian Hun, which could control the Tian Hun and prevent them from flying high into the sky.

The range within ten meters above the ground was exactly the attack range of the Shushi (practitioners of Shu Dao). Beyond that range, the Shushi would inevitably suffer a great loss.

Once the Tian Hun rushed down the mountain pass, about 70% of the Shushi would have no choice but to wait for their death.

The tragic nature of the Shu Dao's assault on Liangjie Mountain also stemmed from this helplessness.

Once the Lord of the Heavenly Prison moved Liangjie Mountain into the sky, the Shu Dao would undoubtedly be defeated.

"Hahaha..." Zhu Zining laughed loudly, "The Gou Chen lineage forms a great formation, and the genius Di Xiansheng, Bu Huangquan, sits in command. Your Di Xiansheng has already been押 (ya, escorted) into the Five Directions Tomb. What will you use to break the formation?"

Before Zhu Zining's laughter faded, flames suddenly burst out in all directions from the Heavenly Prison. Like raging fires caused by an artillery barrage, they erupted from one side of the Heavenly Prison to the other. The iron chains embedded in Liangjie Mountain snapped one after another in just a few seconds.

Liangjie Mountain, already pulled into the air, still tilted backward due to its earlier momentum.

Zhu Zining's smile froze on her face. "Who has rebelled? The Gou Chen lineage? No, it's Bu Huangquan."

At the same time, Bu Huangquan's voice came from the direction of the Heavenly Prison: "Fellow Daoists, Bu Huangquan has today cleared the house for Di Xiansheng and completely exterminated the Gou Chen lineage."

"Bu has exhausted his life's cultivation to block the Tian Hun for you for two hours. Please, everyone, send a message to the Shu Dao: the heavenly tribulation is descending."

"The sacrifice to guard the human realm begins with my Bu family."

In the next moment, Bu Youming appeared outside the gate of the Heavenly Prison, his right hand turning into a claw, and he suddenly grabbed towards his own chest.

"The heavens collapse, the earth sinks. We Shushi should mend the sky with our blood and guard the land with our bones."

"Bu takes the first step. May you all strive!"

Bu Huangquan's voice echoed through the sky as he forcibly tore out his own loyal heart and threw it with all his might towards the gate of the Heavenly Prison. A bloody light immediately rose outside the gate of the Heavenly Prison, as if a layer of blood-red silk had been draped over the gap in the sky.

While the frantically roaring Tian Hun were blocked outside the heavens by that layer of bloody light, Bu Huangquan's corpse also fell from the sky, his blood staining the mountains red.

Bu Huangquan had verified his oath.

Mend the sky with blood, guard the land with bones.

The gap in the sky was temporarily sealed by the bloody light, but the shadow of the Heavenly Prison slowly turned behind the bloody glow, as if realigning the prison door with the gap.

Zhu Zining snorted coldly, "So what if Bu Huangquan betrayed the Holy Lord?"

"Liangjie Mountain has still been moved. Even if it hasn't been uprooted, an insurmountable chasm will form at the foot of the mountain."

"In two hours, can the Shu Dao conjure up a few bridges out of thin air?"

"If they can't build a long bridge spanning the chasm, the Shu Dao will still not escape the fate of defeat."

My heart sank involuntarily. The Shushi were, after all, not ancient armies. Although some were good at using longbows, their numbers were not enough to suppress thousands of Tian Hun.

As long as the moat under Liangjie Mountain exceeded ten meters, most people would not be able to fly across the moat and attack the Heavenly Prison.

With the Shu Dao army blocked on one side of the moat, the Tian Hun would still rush out of the range of Liangjie Mountain.

All preparations would be in vain!

Ling spoke up at this time, "As long as the Tiangong Gate is here, not to mention building a pontoon bridge, even building a city wall on top of the moat to serve as a barrier for Liangjie Mountain is not a problem."

"Huang Tiangong?" Zhu Zining laughed. "That person is the most afraid of death. You expect him to risk his life to use forbidden techniques to protect Liangjie Mountain? That's a joke."

Ling said faintly, "To borrow one of your phrases, let's wait and see!"
