Tang Ru's Ability! Foresight!

Li Guanqi chuckled softly. "Go quickly. By now, the Immortal Ascension Platforms might already be scattered across the Six Domains." "You seniors bear an even heavier task." With that, Hong Zhi glanced back toward the place where Long Hou was in secluded cultivation. Heaven and earth were already showing initial signs of an anomaly; winds stirred and clouds surged, as if the majestic pressure of the world were beginning to manifest. It was just that the aura remained exceedingly faint, almost imperceptible to anyone. Hong Zhi gritted her teeth and patted Li Guanqi's shoulder heavily. "Hold on until we return!" Having said that, Hong Zhi turned toward the others charging in battle in the distance and shouted fiercely, "Cut down a few, then head out to the Six Domains and Piaomiao!" The moment her voice fell, Hong Zhi turned into a streak of red light and vanished in an instant. She tore straight into the enemy ranks like a crimson arrow. In a split second, heaven and earth went dead silent. A blood-red saber light flashed and faded between the sky and the earth. Golden bells chimed, and four Immortal Realm cultivators were decapitated on the spot! A breach was ripped open beneath her saber light. Xiang Huaizhi manipulated the power of flames, summoning the roars of a hundred beasts as he charged into the crowd, incinerating three cultivators alive! Chan Kongzi swung both fists, and an enormous wave of fist astral force plummeted from the heavens. The terrifying astral force smashed clean through the protective origin energy of two cultivators, reducing them to bursts of bloody mist! The others each displayed their divine abilities before retreating in a rapid leap, pulling themselves out of the battlefield. Meng Wanshu, Ye Feng, Xiao Chen, and the rest covered their retreat. The group of six finally broke away from the fray and departed the Seventh Domain. Meng Wanshu and the others likewise joined forces to pull back, ultimately falling back to guard Li Guanqi's side. With his back to his allies, Li Guanqi faced the remaining Seventh Domain cultivators. "Everyone, I've said all there is to say. If anyone still... don't blame this junior for taking action." Right at this moment, however, someone Li Guanqi never expected stepped forward. Drenched in blood, Sun Changlin took a slow step forward. Flesh turned outward from his open wounds, his armor battered and broken. The old man looked up toward the firmament. His cloudy, bloodshot eyes stared up into the void, murmuring in a faintly trembling voice, "Realm Lord... can we... still live to see that day?" Silence. No response came from the quiet void. Just as disappointment gripped everyone's hearts, Su Xuan's resolute voice suddenly reverberated across the seven domains! "Within a hundred years, ascend to the Immortal Realm!" As the words fell, a fiery gleam ignited in Sun Changlin's eyes. He burst into a hearty laugh, then, silver spear in hand, composed his expression and said in a deep voice, "A hundred years... this old man will wait!" With that, Sun Changlin took the lead, stepping over to stand beside Xiao Chen. The corners of Li Guanqi's mouth curved slightly upward, looking upon Sun Changlin with newfound respect. The old man knew they could not continue this standoff; if this dragged on, morale would crumble. Li Guanqi's deterrent presence was no less than Long Hou's, but it was not a lasting solution after all. If they could not put everyone's minds at ease right now, there was no telling what might happen along the way. That was why Sun Changlin had stepped forward at this juncture. A single word from Su Xuan was enough to steady everyone's hearts! Li Guanqi finally breathed an inward sigh of relief and raised his hand to signal his sworn brothers not to worry too much. In the Third Domain, Tang Ru also let out a sigh of relief, while Gu Li's avatar quietly lowered his palm. His palm was drenched in cold sweat. He had long since placed concealed incantations on everyone present. If anyone truly wished to break the rules, he would not have hesitated to eliminate them preemptively! This was the terrifying aspect of Gu Li today. He could plant the power of inscribed talismans on an opponent without making a sound. Yet Li Guanqi had only breathed a momentary sigh of relief; the battle ahead was what truly mattered. If they could not hold these people back, the enemy could use the Immortal Ascension Platforms to control cultivators and force an ascension, tearing open the realm barrier. When everyone was standing beside Li Guanqi, Gu Li and Li Guanqi exchanged an imperceptible glance, and Gu Li gave a slight nod. Only then did Li Guanqi truly set his mind at ease. Only after confirming that Gu Li had prepared every contingency did Li Guanqi relax. He had acted this way because he would never gamble on human nature at a time like this! The desires of human nature... were not something he dared test. He was certain that Song Yuan still held Immortal Ascension Platforms in his hands. Perhaps not many, but definitely some! Given the chance, Song Yuan would never pass up an opportunity to bewitch the crowd. And once true immortals actually descended through the power of a channel, even the lowest Profound Immortal possessed strength far exceeding the Ascension realm. Such power would be catastrophic for them. In the crowd, Song Yuan's eyes flickered. A sweep of his divine sense revealed that only around a hundred cultivators remained on his side. A numerical advantage of nearly tenfold brought him no peace of mind. He looked toward Li Guanqi's pure white eyes as though staring into an abyss. He felt an unprecedented confidence radiating from Li Guanqi. That confidence... made it seem as though Li Guanqi were entirely certain he could slaughter every last one of them! Li Guanqi's strength was too terrifying; ordinary descending immortals could not withstand a single exchange against him. Much like Song Yuan himself—Sun Changlin might be strong, but if Song Yuan got his hands on him, he would kill the old man within ten breaths! Such was the disparity between peak combatants and ordinary cultivators. Li Guanqi exhaled a breath of turbid air and sent a soft voice transmission to Gu Li. "Do your best to protect them..." Immediately after, a big white radish silently materialized beside Tang Ru in the Third Domain! Li Guanqi said in a deep voice, "Fifth Brother, I need you to take control of the battlefields across both domains! Can you do it?" In the Third Domain, Tang Ru's pupils contracted sharply. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can!" As soon as the words left his mouth, accompanied by the eruption of Pengluo's power, Tang Ru's cultivation level briefly broke through to the late Mahayana realm! With Pengluo's empowerment, his divine sense surged explosively. A faint, illusory projection of the Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang appeared across the battlefield of the Fourth Domain! Relying on Pengluo's power, Tang Ru pushed past his own limits as well. Gu Li's avatar noticed this and quickly retrieved dozens of silver-white inscribed talismans, slapping them onto Tang Ru's back. These talismans were enough to rapidly replenish Tang Ru's divine sense. A golden abacus appeared in Tang Ru's hands, his eyes flashing. "Come on, let's see you face my power!!" With those words, fierce slaughter erupted once more across the battlefields of the Third and Fourth Domains! Li Guanqi's gaze turned chilling as he was the first to charge forward. "Leave none alive!!!" Meanwhile, Hong Zhi and the others dispersed across the Six Domains, smashing Immortal Ascension Platforms without hesitation. They absolutely could not permit any accidents at this critical moment. For they all understood in their hearts that they had to return to the Fourth Domain as quickly as possible! Li Guanqi charged into the crowd like a primeval beast. Facing a siege by more than ten cultivators, he chose to trade wounds for lives. Relying on his formidable personal might, he unleashed an outright massacre! The others did the same. Yet the enemy cultivators were simply too numerous—so many that they could not mount an effective defense. It was at this moment that Gu Li's talismanic power displayed its immense might. Not only did it reinforce their allies and enhance their defenses, but it also relentlessly suppressed the Immortal Realm cultivators with an endless array of methods. At the same time, the seas of consciousness of every cultivator in the Third and Fourth Domains jolted violently! For inside their minds... What the enemy before them would do in the next breath, how they would strike with their swords—all of it was laid bare before their eyes! Foresight! Foresight of a single breath! At this moment, even Li Guanqi was shocked... Little did they know that Tang Ru's hands were already dripping with blood as he flicked the abacus. Bleeding from all seven facial orifices, Tang Ru's appearance drew a look of heartache from Gu Li's avatar. Hands blurred into afterimages as they frantically shifted the abacus, the beads clattering and clacking in a rapid flurry. Li Guanqi and the others seized this opportunity, instantly slaying over a dozen cultivators! The cultivators of the Third Domain also took advantage of the moment to cut down numerous foes. Yet this state lasted for merely three breaths. *Bang!* The abacus exploded, its golden beads shattering across the ground. Tang Ru spat out a great mouthful of blood, divine patterns flickering across his face. Pengluo unleashed his power with all his might to help stabilize Tang Ru's injuries. The battle was brutal, with grievous casualties. And gradually, the casualties on the side of the Seventh Domain cultivators mounted higher and higher...
