At this moment, the Six-Eared Macaque had already hoisted the Crimson Blood Roaming Dragon Staff onto his shoulder, and upon seeing the nine heads of the serpent raging toward him, he let out a contemptuous smile. Without any discernible movement, nine identical Six-Eared Macaques split from his body. Clad in the same battle armor, each wielded a Crimson Blood Roaming Dragon Staff.

As soon as these nine doppelgangers appeared, they charged directly toward the biting serpent heads. The Thunder Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent, enraged by the Six-Eared Macaque's apparent disdain — using only nine clones to fight — condensed an armor of destructive energy around itself.

By the time the nine doppelgangers reached the serpent heads, they didn't even bother looking at the armored heads; they simply swung their Crimson Blood Roaming Dragon Staffs and smashed down on the heads. What seemed like a not particularly forceful blow scattered the nine heads in all directions.

Because the nine clones didn't attack in the same direction, some struck from above with a downward smash, others swept their staffs sideways, and some even struck from below, hitting the underside of the serpent's heads. Consequently, after the strike, some heads were knocked down, some up, some left, and some right.

Even two adjacent heads collided with each other. Not only was the Nine-Headed Serpent taken aback, but even the Six-Eared Macaque himself did not expect his own strength to be so formidable. After the hit, the nine doppelgangers dissipated, and the Six-Eared Macaque, in stunned silence, gazed at his own hands with genuine surprise.

The Nine-Headed Serpent fared even worse. Since Jing Potian had transformed his body into lightning to control it, the touch sensation of this Thunder Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent was exactly the same as Jing Potian's own. Moreover, the serpent was entirely under Jing Potian's control.

So, after the blow, Jing Potian himself was struck dizzy. However, as a beast of world destruction, the Nine-Headed Serpent wasn't really injured despite being somewhat dazed. Having realized that the Six-Eared Macaque was not to be trifled with, the serpent did not rashly advance.

In fact, Jing Potian was in a difficult position at this moment. First, the cost of using "Body Transformation" was enormous, because this was not a move within his current strength range. He had resorted to this most powerful technique out of desperation, provoked by the death of Yao Wumeng.

Second, the Thunder Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent was based on the strongest Divine Beast of the Annihilation Divine Kingdom, the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent. The serpent's prowess lies in its ability to destroy worlds; in combat, it seldom launches direct attacks, preferring instead to destroy opponents through the immense disasters caused by world destruction.

Naturally, if it were the real Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent, directly attacking someone with inferior strength would also be possible.

Unfortunately, the serpent that Jing Potian had become was not the true Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent — that terrifying Divine Beast that dares to consume the Cosmic Rules and the Laws of all beings was beyond the reach of Jing Potian. This brought about a problem, for they were in the Sand Realm, which had been refined into a Magic Treasure by a Heavenly Patroller.

The resilience of the Sand Realm was far beyond the destructive capacity of the Thunder Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent. Thus, the idea of destroying the world to cause vast disasters and annihilate the opposition was basically impossible.

A direct attack, as just witnessed, also proved futile; the Six-Eared Macaque that had suddenly emerged from the ground was strong enough to contend with, and even overpower, the Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent.

There was also an even more crucial point. Jing Potian, after transforming into the Thunder Annihilation Nine-Headed Serpent, could feel the Primordial Earth Pearl buried deep underground, despite layers of thick soil. And now, Jing Potian could sense even more clearly the extremely rich essence of the Primordial Earth Pearl emanating from the Six-Eared Macaque.

As reluctant as Jing Potian was to believe it, he knew that the Primordial Earth Pearl had likely fallen into the hands of the Six-Eared Macaque. Since the relic of the Huangquan World had been obtained by someone else, it signified that the Six Kingdoms War, starting from this moment, had come to an end. Hence, there was little point for him to continue fighting.

However, Jing Potian truly couldn't reconcile himself to stop fighting, not to mention that King of Qin had destroyed his body time and again — a humiliation Jing Potian couldn't ignore.

Even though the ultimate purpose of the Cultivation Technique he practiced, the Thunder Annihilation Technique, was to gradually transform his own body into lightning, culminating in the Destructive Thunder Body.

Since Jing Potian started practicing the Thunder Annihilation Technique, he had gone through countless tribulations, and it was only now that he had laid the foundation, barely reaching the realm where 'lightning and I are one.'

After the Six Kingdoms War, Jing Potian had planned to start the practice of forsaking his physical body. Little did he know, the Six Kingdoms War would turn out to be so fierce, with almost his entire side perishing, and he himself being forced to prematurely use "Palm Transformation," "Arm Transformation," and even "Body Transformation."

Forcing the use of "Body Transformation" resulted in Jing Potian gradually losing clarity of mind, and his entire body was in excruciating pain. However, just as Jing Potian decided to retract the lightning nine-headed serpent and give up the fight, he suddenly felt a shadow flicker before his eyes. Then, a giant ape donning heavy armor appeared in front of him.

If the kilometer-long lightning nine-headed serpent felt terrifying, then the giant ape before him was downright shocking. Although it wasn't a kilometer tall, it did stand at eight hundred meters.

And it's important to note that even though the serpent stretched a kilometer long, that was its length; even if it reared up the front half of its body, that would only be around five hundred meters tall, which still seemed quite small in comparison to the towering eight hundred meter ape.

Of course, this smallness was relative.

Upon the instant appearance of the giant ape, Jing Potian had a sinking feeling. But there was too little time, just enough for him to cover the body of the lightning nine-headed serpent with a layer of armor created from the power of destruction. Right after that, the armored giant ape suddenly leapt, its massive body twisting and turning agily midair without a hint of clumsiness or bulkiness.

As the giant ape leaped into the air, it suddenly flung its arms, its colossal body flipping in the air to end up inverted, head down and feet up. By the time the nine-headed serpent reacted, arching its body and preparing to turn and bite, it was too late.

The giant ape, moving with a speed and agility disproportionate to its size, reached down with its hands and grabbed directly onto the serpent's body. As it made contact, a rich earthy-yellow glow flowed down the ape's arms, securing its giant hands to the serpent's body.

Only then did the nine serpent heads manage to turn around, still over two hundred meters away from the giant ape. After grabbing the serpent, the ape bent its body, flipping again before steadily landing on the ground. Eighteen serpent eyes, belonging to the nine heads, felt a creeping dread as they watched the giant ape touch down.

Indeed, as soon as the giant ape landed, it took a step forward, assumed a horse stance, then twisted its waist and pulled back its arms, managing to lift the serpent's body right off the ground. The body began to spin, and by the third revolution, the kilometer-long body of the serpent had completely left the ground, whirling aloft by the giant ape.

Three revolutions, ten revolutions, thirty revolutions. As the giant ape spun faster and faster, a massive tornado quickly formed around it. Because the serpent's body was so large and the area affected so immense, the tornado instantly picked up countless fragments of broken walls and stones and began to spread further.

Having heard Six-Eared Macaque's story from before, Lin Xi and company rode their giant scorpion to a safe distance of three thousand meters away. But as the tornado spread, the four of them realized this distance was no longer safe, and the powerful suction even made it difficult for them to keep their footing.

As the tornado expanded by another measure, it began to wreak havoc on the City of Ruins. Especially since the Six-Eared Macaque, while rotating, was slowly moving its hands towards the serpent's tail, causing the circle to gradually widen. Eventually, for reasons unknown, the Six-Eared Macaque even started to slowly move!

The current scene, rather than looking like the Six-Eared Macaque attacking the nine-headed serpent, appeared more like the Six-Eared Macaque was using the serpent to destroy the City of Ruins.

Wherever the giant ape went, the tornado followed, and where the tornado passed, nothing was left behind, everything turned into a desert identical to the surrounding wasteland.

"What's gotten into the Six-Eared Macaque? It feels like he intends to completely erase this City of Ruins from the Sand Realm," someone wondered aloud.
