A colossal boulder streaked through the sky with a whistle!

Wang Jincheng knelt on the boulder, his gaze sweeping over the city below. A white figure was rampaging through the city, irresistibly crushing every building in its path to rubble!

Every time it trampled a building, a large number of residents were crushed to a bloody pulp. Within mere seconds, nearly a hundred people had died beneath it.

Rising dust swirled through the ruins. At that moment, Wang Jincheng finally got a clear look at the creature.

It was a two-story-tall rhinoceros, devoid of flesh and blood, composed entirely of stark white bones. From a distance, it resembled a mobile heavy armored tank, smashing through several buildings without leaving a scratch on its surface.

It rampaged wildly and unbridled through Hongchen Main City, flattening everything in its wake, as if this were not a forest of steel and concrete, but an endless wilderness.

"Fifth-tier... no, this must be a Sixth-tier," Wang Jincheng's expression was grim. "The convergence of the Grey Realm has just begun, and a Sixth-tier calamity has already broken through?"

Boom—boom—boom!!

Simultaneously, several more explosions echoed from other parts of the district. Billowing smoke rose from the ruins, reaching towards the sky, suggesting that more and more skeletal monsters were rushing in from another world!

"Jiangtian Cult... where are these beasts hiding?"

Wang Jincheng clenched his teeth. He naturally understood what was happening: a flock of sheep on the prairie suddenly moving in a synchronized direction was likely due to a sheepdog's guidance. The Jiangtian Cult was the "sheepdog" behind these calamities. This also indicated that not all Jiangtian Cult members within the Hongchen domain had carried out the suicide ritual; perhaps some were still hidden in an unknown corner, secretly manipulating everything.

Although Wang Jincheng was eager to find the Jiangtian Cult members, he couldn't allow these calamities to rampage through the city. At the current rate of casualties, these few districts would likely be devoid of life within a few hours.

Wang Jincheng's hand clenched in mid-air. The shattered remnants of buildings, broken by the skeletal rhinoceros, seemed to be guided by an unseen force, soaring into the sky. Above him, they rapidly wove together into a colossal "plow," which then shot towards the skeletal rhinoceros!

The giant plow sliced through the air with a sharp shriek. Its enormous shadow suddenly plummeted from the sky, dragging several monstrous furrows across the ground before colliding head-on with the skeletal rhinoceros!

Boom—!!

Under the terrifying impact, the giant plow shattered into countless pieces, as if struck by a heavy armor-piercing shell. The skeletal rhinoceros, meanwhile, gradually slowed, stopped, and shook its pale head, its empty gaze turning back towards Wang Jincheng in the air.

Its massive skeletal hooves stomped heavily on the ground, and a web of cracks began to spread wildly. A terrifying power gathered within its body, and a path woven from wind converged before it, extending directly towards the sky.

Wang Jincheng felt a chill down his spine, an immediate cold sensation of being targeted by a beast enveloping his mind. But he did not flinch. Instead, he snorted coldly, then pulled more than a dozen building-sized boulders from the earth with both hands, arranging them majestically around him. The immense oppressive force they exuded was no less than that of the charging skeletal rhinoceros.

Thump! Thump! Thump!!

The pale skeletal rhinoceros slightly arched its body, its colossal frame crouching low to the ground. After a brief pause, it suddenly shot forward like an arrow released from a bowstring, its heavy bone armor shattering the air and creating a sonic boom! Air currents violently compressed around the rhinoceros. In the blink of an eye, it covered a hundred meters, instantly pulverizing all buildings in its path. Then, it astonishingly launched itself into the air, charging towards Wang Jincheng with a speed comparable to a falling meteor!

Wang Jincheng's muscles tensed, just as he was about to command the surrounding boulders, an eerie sneer suddenly echoed from nearby.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure clad in a bizarre red robe standing in the fierce wind atop a clock tower below him. The red robe fluttered like a cloud, but beneath it, there were no clothes, just a primal and naked body. It was a man with abundant body hair; his chest hair covered his chest like armor, and his wild, unkempt hair flew wildly in the wind. His dark yellow fingernails were five or six centimeters long. He stared intently at Wang Jincheng, and as his mouth opened, a beast-like set of ferocious fangs was exposed. He was cackling loudly at Wang Jincheng, his mouth opening and closing as if trying to say something, but only primal, ape-like cries emerged, as if he had lost the ability to speak.

Upon seeing this figure, Wang Jincheng's pupils suddenly constricted!

"Bishop-tier!!!"

The next moment, Wang Jincheng suddenly felt his trajectory begin to waver, as if an invisible aura was disrupting his mind. The colossal boulder mountains that had been majestically suspended around him began to collide with each other, as if out of control!

Damn it!

This brief disturbance made Wang Jincheng's heart sink. He sharply turned his head, and a hurricane rushed towards him, followed by an unstoppable colossal skeletal figure that shattered all the boulders obstructing its path, rapidly growing larger in his vision!

Thud—!!!

Wang Jincheng's vision blurred; his bones felt as brittle as cotton and snapped. He was lightly sent hurtling from the air, falling helplessly into the city amidst the howling wind.

"Gasp! Gasp! Gasp, gasp, gasp!!!"

Seeing Wang Jincheng knocked down in a single blow, the Jiangtian Cult bishop in the fierce wind opened his mouth, cackling wildly. From time to time, he couldn't resist pounding his chest with both fists, emitting guttural grunts.

CRACKLE!!

A streak of ink-black lightning flashed across the sky, interrupting the bishop's wild laughter.

His expression suddenly froze. He turned his head to look in the direction Wang Jincheng had fallen, his face gradually darkening.

A white-robed figure, with an eight-foot ink brush strapped to his back, was seen steadily catching Wang Jincheng in mid-air. He gently placed him on the street by the roadside, his sharp eyes instantly locking onto the skeletal rhinoceros in the air and the Jiangtian Cult bishop on the clock tower.

Lv Liangren, from the Third Hall of the Painting of Fleeting Life.

Wang Jincheng, bruised and bloody, saw the eight-foot ink brush and finally felt his heart settle. Lv Liangren's appearance here indicated that the Ten Halls of the Painting of Fleeting Life had entered the battlefield.

With one hand, Lv Liangren grasped the eight-foot ink brush on his back and swung it out with force. He advanced step by step like a general wielding a halberd, a chilling murderous aura radiating around him. The streetscapes on both sides were instantly steeped in black and white ink.

"Jiangtian Cult... do you really think there's no one left in Hongchen?"

As he approached, the Jiangtian Cult bishop on the clock tower involuntarily took half a step back. After shouting a couple of primal cries, he turned and scrambled down the tower, fleeing into the distance.

At the same time, the skeletal rhinoceros in mid-air exhaled gusts of wind from its empty nostrils. Its hooves stomped twice against nothingness, and it charged towards Lv Liangren with a whistling rush!!
