The man-made lake’s water was crystal clear, adorned with blooming water lilies. Their vibrant, colorful petals, nestled against lush green leaves, created a scene of exquisite beauty.
“The second attack formation has arrived. Proceed with the assault as planned. Gaga, come with me,” commanded the Lady.
The treasures within the eighteen palaces might be immensely powerful, but they were ultimately inanimate objects. No matter how formidable, they were external boons, limited in number, capable of empowering only a few. The profound arts inscribed on the stone tablets, however, could strengthen an entire race; their value was self-evident.
“Get some good rest. There is much for you to do in the future,” Duncan said, patting Qin Yan on the shoulder before moving away to return to his own spot and lying down.
Jiang Qingming agreed immediately and instructed his subordinates to handle the matter; there was no issue regarding their efficiency.
“We could cryogenically freeze him on the ship, then find a doctor to extract the alien!” Ke’er proposed her solution.
In truth, the moment Malone rolled up Tang Feng’s sleeve, Tang Feng sensed that something was amiss. This Malone must have discovered something unusual on his arm.
Being dunked on—whether posterized or jumped over—is a humiliation for any player, especially for an inside player; to be dunked on by an outside player is a disgrace that lasts a lifetime.
He cast a glance, his face turning red, yet he could not help but look again. Thus, Yang Tian wore a strange expression, his eyes shifty and his face flushed with bashful embarrassment.
Looking into the distance, one could vaguely see twelve mountain ranges connected within the clouds; despite the vast distance, at first glance, they seemed deceptively close.
However, to the surprise of both, upon exiting the fruit grove, they encountered an unexpected person at their doorstep.
“Yeyi, wait for me.” He followed closely behind her, unable to fathom how, just a second ago, they were perfectly fine, only for the atmosphere to shift from sunny to overcast in an instant.
“Take your hand off me,” Xue Xiaoni’s irritated voice rang out. Xue Feng, however, breathed a sigh of relief, secretly pleased that his older sister had finally returned to normal.
“Luo Qingyue, what are you doing?” A roar echoed through the hall as Ye Liuhen struck out, a gale of inner energy sweeping toward Luo Qingyue.

The last doctor to leave Lin Shenshen’s bedside reached out to adjust her IV drip, slowing the flow rate slightly.
“No, this consort is not angry,” Helian Heya replied calmly. She maintained a composed mindset; their relationship was meant to be as clear and distant as this.
Had it been anyone else subjected to such rebukes from their master, they would surely feel distressed, but Tan Yao had grown accustomed to Murong Feiming’s mercurial temperament over the past decade. Instead, seeing the King’s frustrated demeanor, she felt concerned that the Queen might have dealt him too heavy a blow.
After exchanging farewells, Rong Qian and the others departed. After all, beyond Tianfeng City lay the Great Snowy Mountains, and crossing them would depend on the winds and snow.
Helian Heya had initially assumed that Murong Feiming’s pointed remarks toward King Jing were born of displeasure over the King coveting what was his. Yet, in that final sentence, she seemed to discern something else.
Su Qingyi watched Hu Ming silently for a long time without saying a word. In this man’s eyes, she could even sense something called sincerity. However, she was not entirely swayed by this emotion; instead, her suspicions only deepened.
At this moment, these pigs weighed one or two hundred catties each. In a little while, they would be ready for market.
Who was responsible for this damnable apocalypse? And how did those alien races arrive on Earth?
Yu Fengzi laughed maniacally and slashed his sword toward Yu Xiaozi. The Seven-Star Sword in Yu Xiaozi’s hand suddenly burst into brilliant light, a streak of lightning erupting from the blade.
Gao Fei and Mu Xiong were both stunned. Gao Fei had never considered such a thing, and Mu Xiong had spoken thoughtlessly, never expecting Lin Rou to take it seriously.
“Cao Yue, are you unwilling to treat me?” Xu Fei pouted, slightly annoyed after meeting up that evening.
Danzo had become his primary target for suppression, though there was no rush for now; he still had over a decade to deal with him.
Yu Hao naturally chose yes and subsequently received several notifications. Soon, he understood that this room was his private residence at the academy. It required his permission for others to enter; otherwise, no one could get in unless their abilities surpassed those of the academy.
Thus, time was of the essence. Lei Zhan had to arrange everything to ensure no errors occurred when the operation began.

If such terrifying fluctuations of magical power were unleashed in the Tianwu Great World, it would cause a cataclysmic disaster. Fortunately, this was the Ancient Path to Becoming an Emperor, where space was incredibly stable and immortal. Even so, the path trembled, and the six individuals unleashed their full combat intent and power, surging toward the heavens and shaking the void.
Su Ming glanced at the old Taoist priest. Before formally stepping into the opened gate, Su Ming handed him an Eye of the Storm orb.
Hatake Kakashi also sensed the commotion nearby. A timely report from his subordinate made him understand exactly what was happening.
Old Guo pondered carefully for a while and felt that the name "Chang’an Grand Restaurant" was indeed excellent. It not only sounded grand but also highlighted the name of Chang’an; he feared that eventually, all restaurants and inns would adopt this name.
It was evident that Manager Ke cleaned thoroughly every day. Not only the first floor but the second as well was spotless and pristine. Despite being closed for business, it showed no signs of decay.
“Are you the Poker-Faced God? Pfft! The Cold-Faced God?” The person spoke without thinking, forgetting for a moment that this was reality, and blurted out Su Yi’s nickname.
“That may be true, but he certainly won’t appear in his true form. Finding him is a challenge.” In these extraordinary times, he probably used a disguise even to go to the restroom.
However, this matter could not be rushed. Even if one were to feast, it could not be done ungracefully; it required careful planning.
Several wisps of time flew strangely into the young man’s hand. He traced another ray, which then began to undulate; its end slowly rose, curved, and connected to a line that stretched endlessly into the distance.
“Tell me who you are. The world I created has no creatures like you!” Ra ceased his attack and shouted in fury.
Li Jianren could do nothing to Teacher Ji, so he took out his frustration on Yang Tian. If glares could shoot blades, Yang Tian would have been pierced through with dozens of holes.
