Countless thoughts ran through his mind. He felt as if there was some part of the riddle that he didn’t understand.
But at this moment, the attacks of Divine Embryos 2 and 3 arrived.
Boom!
Three streams of energy clashed. The attacks of the divine embryos were on par with his, and even though the Earth Official had gathered large amounts of energy from the earth and shaped them into barriers, he still felt an immense pressure.
Crack! The mountains around the Earth Official lasted only for a second before crumbling into bits and pieces.
Even the Earth Official couldn’t help but be shocked by the power of this pair.
What frightened the Earth Official the most was the voice that spoke into his ear.
“Now… you can die!”
It was a soft whisper, but it rang out like thunder in his ears.
Boom!
A moment later, there was a thunderous explosion. When the Earth Official was focused entirely on holding off the attacks of Divine Embryos 2 and 3, a divine figure suddenly shot out from the ground right beneath him.
“Origin Lance!”
Divine Embryo 1 had been waiting underground for some time, and at this moment, it unleashed the final and most powerful attack against the Earth Official.
His hand reached out behind him, and the Trayastrimsa Heaven’s dazzling golden pavilion transformed into a long spear that shot toward the Earth Official.
“Not good!”
Sensing the third storm of energy erupting from beneath him, the Earth Official turned ghastly pale, his entire body shivering.
At the final moment, he finally understood what that unease in his heart was.
The enemy’s plan was far more complete than he had imagined. They had no intention of letting him escape.
That figure hidden under the ground was their trump card!
Most frightening of all was that this third figure was also at the peak of the Subtle realm!
And this one appeared to be even stronger than the other two.
The Earth Official had been extremely confident in his strength, but not even he would dare say that he could contend against three peak Subtle realm experts at once.
Boom!
With one strike, the Earth Official’s armor was blasted to pieces by the Origin Lance.
Immediately afterward, Divine Embryos 1, 2, and 3 unleashed all their strength, using the moment the Earth Official was suppressed by the Origin Lance to barrage his body with universal energy.

“Aaah!”
With a plaintive scream, the Earth Official’s supreme defense was obliterated by the attacks of the three divine embryos.
One punch from Divine Embryo 1 shattered his skull, and the other two divine embryos destroyed his organs.
The Earth Official didn’t even have time to react before he was dead!
Bang!
The explosive shockwave traveled several dozen li.
“It’s the Earth Official!”
In the golden palace at the perimeter, the miserable scream and the strong ripples of energy made the Sky Official and Water Official tremble in shock, their faces paling.
“How could this be?!”
The Water Official had turned ghastly white. Just a moment ago, he had sensed the Earth Official’s aura disappearing.
“This is impossible! Who is it?!”
The Sky Official also trembled, an expression of shock and anger on his face.
The Earth Official was no weakling, which was why they had let him go without going after him.
The two presumed that the Earth Official was strong enough that even if he couldn’t win, he was more than capable of escaping.
Besides the Supremes, was there anyone in this world who could threaten the Earth Official?
The two of them had never imagined that the Earth Official would actually die!
The two officials in their golden palace were far from the only ones to be shocked.
On the shores of the Caspian Sea, a solitary figure sat motionless in the midst of a raging snowstorm.
His body’s aura was fused with the fabric of space, the sky, and the earth, and he seemed even more terrifying than the Sky Official and Water Official.
Buzz!
The moment the Earth Official died, that man’s eyes trembled and opened, releasing a light that was more dazzling than the sun, but also so cold and emotionless that they chilled one to the bone.
The man turned in Wang Chong’s direction, his thoughts inscrutable.
Meanwhile, several dozen li away, the three divine embryos stood together.
“What formidable Earth Element ability!”
Divine Embryo 1 grabbed the Earth Official’s corpse and sighed in praise!
This operation was not simply about killing the Earth Official. Most importantly, Wang Chong had sensed the powerful abilities of the Earth Law in his body.
The Earth Official had cultivated his Earth Element abilities to the peak of the Subtle realm, reaching a domineering level of strength.
If the Earth Official had not been too careless, believing that no one except the Supremes could kill him, that there was no one in this world who could contend against him, Wang Chong’s three divine embryos would not necessarily have had this opportunity.
In truth, the Earth Official had a powerful Earth Movement ability on par with Divine Embryo 1, but Wang Chong hadn’t given him the chance to use it.
The Earth Official hadn’t even had time for his feet to hit the ground before Wang Chong’s three divine embryos had killed him.
This was the first time Wang Chong’s three divine embryos had taken action, and their strength had not disappointed Wang Chong.
“A giant’s body, armor of the earth, Limitless Earth, Ceaseless Mountain Range, Space Contraction… The armor of the earth isn’t that useful, but the others can greatly improve the strength of Divine Embryo 1!”
Wang Chong was ecstatic when he sensed the surging Earth Element energy in the corpse.
The Earth Official’s ability was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.
The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art could absorb all the energy in the Earth Official’s body, and divine embryos possessed immaculate constitutions created through the convergence of the laws of the world. They were capable of absorbing the power of all laws. This was a discovery Wang Chong had made while fighting the Earth Official.
The Earth Official’s power would at least be a big boost to the abilities and strength of Divine Embryo 1.
Even though it had not yet reached the Grotto Heaven realm, it was getting stronger and stronger, and had taken one step closer to breaking through.
“The Earth Official is dead, but the Sky Official and Water Official will be ready. What do we do now?”
The faceless man’s voice came from nearby, and he coldly glanced at the body held in Divine Embryo 1’s hands.
He had arrived late, but he had actually started following the moment the Earth Official had left the base.
He was utterly unsurprised that Wang Chong was able to instantly kill the Earth Official.
He had traveled with the three divine embryos for twenty-some days, so he was well aware of their power.
It would have been far stranger if the Earth Official had been able to survive this ambush!
But even if the Earth Official was dead, Wang Chong had still not destroyed the teleportation gate, and he had only made the other side more vigilant!
“Heh, the Earth Official is dead, but there’s still no movement from the Caspian Sea!”
Wang Chong chuckled and casually shook his head.
“This…”
The faceless man slightly frowned and lowered his head in thought. Soon his body trembled in understanding.
“Master,
you’re saying that Firmament Supreme can’t leave?”
“Heh, the plan was not merely meant to lure out the Earth Official,” Wang Chong said with a smile.
He had three divine embryos, and the first had infiltrated the perimeter of the men in black’s base.
Meanwhile, Divine Embryo 2 had incessantly probed the outer edge of the three officials’ sensory range, and at the end, Wang Chong had made Divine Embryo 2 completely expose itself.
At this time, Wang Chong had been ready for Divine Embryo 2 to be discovered and pursued.
If this had been the case, Divine Embryo 1 would not have come out and would have instead used this chance to infiltrate the interior and destroy the teleportation gate.
Even though losing a divine embryo would be an immense loss, exchanging one for an extremely important teleportation gate was an acceptable loss for Wang Chong.
But events had developed completely differently from what Wang Chong had imagined. Despite his challenge, Firmament Supreme had shown no signs of movement, not even when the Earth Official was slain.
It was clear that there had to be a reason for this reaction.
“If my guess is right, the construction of the teleportation gate has reached its most critical juncture. It’s not that Firmament Supreme isn’t worried about us, but he simply can’t move away from his task.”
Wang Chong’s eyes shone with a farsighted light, a confident smile on his lips.
“If that’s the case, our next step is very simple…”
Even though the heart of the faceless man had long ago gone dead, Wang Chong’s words still elicited a minor ripple of emotion from him.
It was clear that he had not expected Wang Chong’s earlier plan to have this secondary objective.
“Let’s go! The Earth Official is dead and Firmament Supreme can’t leave. The Sky Official and Water Official pose no threat to us!”
As Wang Chong spoke, he began to make his way back.
The three officials working together were a force that even Wang Chong feared, but things would be much easier now that the Earth Official was dead. The initiative was completely on his side.
After a few moments of silence, the faceless man followed.
Whoosh!
In a gust of wind, the group disappeared, and silence reigned over the empty plain. But in the darkness, the murderous energy thickened.
……
Meanwhile, the perimeter base had fallen into chaos.
That brief but intense battle between Wang Chong and the Earth Official had alarmed all the nomadic tribes.
“What’s going on? Wasn’t that the Earth Official who went out just now?”
“What happened? Is there someone here able to contend against a divine emissary?”
“Wululasi, go over there and see what happened! That explosion was so big that it can’t have been something minor!” one of the nomad chiefs harshly ordered.
Similar things happened in other tribes, and numerous nomadic warriors had already ridden out from the outer edge of the base and into the darkness.
Within the pavilions and palaces, hundreds of men in black warily and uneasily watched their surroundings.
The tribal warriors didn’t understand what was going on, but the men in black did. There was a ninety percent chance that something had happened to the Earth Official.
“What happened? Sir Earth Official had such powerful cultivation. Just who could threaten him?”
The men in black were dazed, and they stared fearfully at the mysterious darkness.
The Sky, Earth, and Water Officials were lofty existences for the men in black, divine existences that were far above the ordinary men in black, even if they couldn’t compare to Firmament Supreme.
If the other party was able to kill the Earth Official, then any of the men in black, regardless of level, would be dead if they ran into this enemy.
The enemy could probably kill them like they were butchering chickens!
But it was the Sky Official and Water Official who were facing the real dilemma.
“Bastard! What are these scoundrels trying to do!?”
The Water Official could sense a powerful energy entering and leaving his Psychic Energy’s sensory range, and his face was pale in rage.
The enemy had been somewhat restrained while dealing with the Earth Official, but they had lost all inhibitions now.
On the side, the Sky Official’s expression was just as nasty.
“Let’s not act recklessly. The enemy is trying to lure us out!” the Sky Official said.
He also wanted to rush out in pursuit of the enemy, but this was an extremely important matter. Once the teleportation gate was finished, they would have plenty of time to chase down the enemy.
The Earth Official was already dead, and anger would not change anything. It was far wiser to act rationally and carefully than to blindly take action.
“What has Venerable Firmament Supreme said?” the Water Official asked.
“As Venerable Firmament Supreme is too far away from that area, he was only able to vaguely sense the other party’s energy. Moreover, the other party seems to be skilled in concealing and disguising their energy. If the enemy really does have this ability, then given how many people are gathered on the outer edge of the base, we need to be even more cautious,” the Sky Official said. This was an important reason for his current restraint.

There was no need to worry about puny scoundrels, as they could simply be eliminated. But now that they were facing an extremely powerful foe who was skilled in concealment, taking risks would be seeking death.
The Sky Official knew that the Earth Official was not someone so easily slain.
“But the other side is no longer being just arrogant. Must we really sit here and pretend to ignore them?”
The Water Official was still seething with anger and killing intent.
“There’s no rush. Venerable Firmament Supreme has sent word to restrain ourselves and give him one day. In just one day, he can come out and help us eradicate this foe,” the Sky Official said.
He had the highest status of the three officials, and he was in constant contact with Firmament Supreme.
The Water Official’s eyes flashed with killing intent, his hands clenching and unclenching. But in the end, he chose to compromise.
He was the weakest of the three officials, even weaker than the Earth Official. If he left without the Sky Official’s cooperation, he would be sending himself to his death.
“Ah!”
At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard a shrill scream from nearby.
This was clearly one of their subordinates.
The two of them paled.
“Bastard!”
The Water Official’s robe rustled as he got to his feet, his fists clenching.
These scoundrels weren’t just being cocky. They were essentially pushing right up to their faces.
It was outrageous to the extreme!
“Wait!”
Before he could leave, a slender and forceful hand pulled him back.
The Sky Official carefully listened, a grave look on his face.
“Be wary of tricks!”
His Psychic Energy flowed out, engulfing his surroundings, but he found no trace of the other party’s energy.
The only energy signals for the surrounding one thousand feet were the unique energy signals of the men in black.
Bang!
Just when the Water Official was hesitating, a scream came from the distance, but this was a voice that both of them were familiar with.
“Black Fire!”
The Water Official trembled in shock.
Black Fire was a trusted subordinate of the three officials, one of the captains of the three-hundred-some men in black stationed here. Each of the captains w
as a peak Great General, nearing the Subtle realm.
The three officials guarded the golden palace, leaving many matters to the captains.
The Water Official had not expected the enemy to already be attacking Black Water and the others.
Bang!
The Water Official broke free of the Sky Official’s grip and shot out through the door.
“Water Official!”
The Sky Official grimaced and instinctively rushed after him. The Water Official was weaker than the Earth Official, and carelessly going over was essentially suicide.
“Not good!”
But the Sky Official quickly understood something and turned his head back.
The three officials had been tasked with one other important mission besides guarding the teleportation gate. This was to guard the massive formation that covered the surrounding seventy to eighty li.
The moment he left the hall, the Sky Official sensed another energy entering it.
And when he turned his head, in the light of the torches in the hall, he saw a black-robed figure appearing in the hall like a ghost.
As if noticing the Sky Official’s gaze, that man turned around and eerily smiled at him.
“No!”
The Sky Official felt his heart seize up, and he now understood what was going on.
Luring the tiger from the mountain!
The enemy was not one person, and they had killed Black Fire precisely to lure the two of them out of the hall, so that…
They could gain access to the azure crystal that served as the core of the formation!
The Sky Official felt his heart stop when he saw that eerie smile.
Bang!
There was no time to react. In the hall, Divine Embryo 1 unleashed all of its Stellar Energy and punched at the azure crystal.
“No!”
The Sky Official’s eyes flew open as he cried out and lunged into the hall, but it was too late.
The moment he rushed out of the hall after the Water Official, the result was decided!
Boom! Bang! The ground for ten-some li around fiercely shuddered.
The massive formation that had locked down this entire region shattered like a mirror now that it had lost its core.
