'Damn it! What am I supposed to do? Should I just stand idly by and let these demons seize the immortal tool?' In the shadows, Mo Hao covertly watched the immortal tool in the vast sinkhole, his thoughts racing with urgency.
Just then, to everyone's surprise, the immortal tool lying within the vast sinkhole launched an autonomous attack. The phantom shaped like a sword moved like a dragon swimming through water, targeting Ben Man with lethal intent.
"Bring it on! Let's see just how formidable this immortal tool is!" Unfazed, Ben Man met the sword phantom head-on with a clenched fist.
Instantly, a terrifying wave of power radiated in all directions.
Demons and demonic beasts not yet at the Transcendence realm hastily retreated, keen to avoid getting caught in the ensuing crossfire.
'The immortal tool is actually clashing with that demon, locked in a stalemate. For the time being, it's unclear who will emerge victorious!' Observing the unfolding events, a surge of intense excitement welled up within Mo Hao. 'Hahaha, isn't this the chance I've been waiting for?'
'Jiang Chen must be running around like a headless chicken right now. That old hag who showed up earlier is busy defending Red Maple City; there's no way anyone can prevent me from acting pretentiously!'
With Ben Man preoccupied in a duel with the immortal tool, the stage was set for Mo Hao's grand appearance. He aimed to seize the spotlight by unexpectedly turning the tides, shocking everyone present.
Not just Ben Man, but even the multitude of inhuman creatures in the vast sinkhole would be left awestruck by his actions.
The rewards of successfully seizing this moment would be enormous. It could propel Mo Hao into the Late-stage Transcendence realm, and with the aid of the immortal tool, he could even vanquish Ben Man.
Wasting no time, Mo Hao sprang into action.
Erupting from his concealed spot, he emanated an aura befitting the Dao Palace realm.
'Scum of the demon race! How dare you encroach upon human territory—prepare to meet your end!' Mo Hao's roar thundered as he made his dramatic entrance, immediately capturing everyone's attention.
"A human dares to attack?" a demon remarked, clearly incredulous.
"Just a Dao Palace realm cultivator, and he's rushing in alone? He's courting death."
"Hmph, it would take only me to dispatch this inconsequential fool."
The demons initially froze, then exchanged disbelieving glances before finally dissolving into scornful sneers and disdainful expressions.
As for Ben Man, a Late-stage Transcendence realm cultivator, he barely spared Mo Hao a glance before dismissively turning away, considering him unworthy of attention.
In the vast sinkhole, a throng of inhuman creatures regarded Mo Hao with mixed emotions. To them, he seemed like a moth flying into a flame, destined to be incinerated momentarily.
"Haha!" Mo Hao chuckled. 'No one believes I can win; that's precisely the impression I want to create!' he thought.
However, just at that moment, a soft feminine voice echoed through the air. "Oh?"
"Daoist friend Mo Hao, it appears that you, a Transcendence realm powerhouse, have finally opted for a righteous path—exterminating the demon race to defend human lands."
"Still, this vajra demon is a bit too formidable for you. Leave them to me; you can deal with the remaining underlings." As the voice spoke, a mysterious figure materialized in the air above the expansive sinkhole. A potent aura from the Late-stage Transcendence realm surged forth, radiating in all directions.
This abrupt development left everyone present in a state of shocked astonishment.
"It's one of our human powerhouses!" a voice exclaimed, tinged with awe.
"It seems to be a female Transcendence realm cultivator, and an incredibly strong one at that—how extraordinary!"
"I never realized our Immortal Martial Continent had such formidable experts. This is astounding!"
"We're saved! We're saved!"
The inhuman creatures looked towards Jiang Chen with eyes gleaming like bright stars—as if someone who was drowning had suddenly latched onto a lifeline.
"What! Another Transcendence realm human powerhouse has shown up here?" someone outside the formation exclaimed in disbelief.
"That Mo Hao was deceiving us; his Dao Palace realm aura was just a ruse!"
"Damn it, with two Transcendence realm human powerhouses, what's our next move?"
"Hold your positions, everyone! Additional units are en route to reinforce us!"
The demons were deeply shaken, nearly thrown into disarray by these unexpected turns of events.
"A Late-stage Transcendence realm human powerhouse!" Ben Man muttered, eyes narrowing. "Could this be the one responsible for destroying the spatial channel, resulting in a million demons perishing?"
"A Late-stage Transcendence realm human, you say? Hmph, there's no one among the humans at this level who can rival me!" While locked in a skirmish with the immortal tool, he closely monitored the newly-arrived human powerhouse hovering above the sinkhole.
Simultaneously, Mo Hao cast his gaze towards the mysterious figure that had just appeared in the sky. 'Could it be... Jiang Chen's Master?' he thought, stunned.
'How can this be? Wasn't she supposed to be in Glorious Obsidian City within the Black Wasteland Domain? What is she doing here?'
'Not only has she stolen my kills and upstaged me, but she's also revealed my true combat potential!'
'This completely undermines my grand entrance!' A heavy sense of doom overwhelmed him, dousing his enthusiasm like a wet blanket.
Frustration boiling over, Mo Hao let out a loud roar. "Jiang Chen's Master! Stay out of this!"
"Leave these demons to me; just stand by and watch!"
"I promise, I'll handle them!" With that, he lunged toward the demon army, ready for battle.
However, the moment he advanced, the weaker demons quickly retreated to huddle around Ben Man.
After all, Mo Hao's true strength was now exposed; he wasn't merely a Dao Palace realm cultivator, but actually operated at the Transcendence realm.
What good would an army of ten thousand demons do? Lacking a Transcendence realm powerhouse among them, they stood no chance against Mo Hao, regardless of their numbers. Engaging him would be a death wish.
So, even if it meant risking the collateral damage from Ben Man's clash with the immortal tool, the demons chose to avoid a direct confrontation with Mo Hao.
Seeing this, Mo Hao felt as if he were on the verge of tears.
"Aaagh! Curse you, woman! This isn't over between us!" Mo Hao's howl was filled with unspeakable fury, akin to a rampaging beast as he charged into the demon army.
However, by the time the enigmatic woman arrived on the scene, Ben Man had already started to disengage from his skirmish with the immortal tool.
Given his inherent strength advantage over the immortal tool, freeing himself from its grasp proved relatively easy.
So, just as Mo Hao barrelled into the ranks of the demon army, Ben Man had already broken free and flown directly into Mo Hao's path.
"Thump, thump!" Ben Man pounded his chest, emitting surges of formidable energy. His aura as a Late-stage Transcendence realm cultivator was fully revealed.
"What the hell!" Mo Hao's expression shifted dramatically. He immediately halted his charge and began to retreat.
"Where do you think you're going!" Ben Man wasn't about to let Mo Hao get away so easily. He lunged forward, unleashing a crushing attack, akin to a mountain descending upon him.
However, Jiang Chen was not the type to simply watch from the sidelines.
The chasm of strength between Mo Hao and Ben Man was vast; a one-on-one duel would unquestionably result in Mo Hao's defeat.
In situations where the protagonist faces mortal peril, the Heavenly Fate often intervenes with a dramatic turn of events to create new opportunities. Such an outcome was not something Jiang Chen desired.
"Thinking of harming a junior of my human race? Die!" Shangguan Ning's voice echoed across the battlefield, and with a mere flick of her wrist, she unleashed a sky full of scorching flames.
These were the Burning World Raging Flames, a technique Jiang Chen had never shown in Mo Hao's presence, and one that served as a potent trump card.
As the flames burst forth, they morphed into countless firebirds that swarmed around Ben Man, quickly trapping him within a fireball comprised of the Burning World Raging Flames.
"Roar, roar!" Ben Man let out a combination of terror and rage, relentlessly pounding against the fireball but unable to break free.
Suddenly, Mo Hao roared, "I've got this!" Unleashing all his pent-up energy, he ferociously charged at Ben Man, clearly intent on seizing the kill for himself.
However, Jiang Chen was not about to let that happen.
