Chapter 637: Chapter 343: The Taboo of the Sky and a Single Punch (Part 3)

After all, the Insect Race hadn’t appeared in the Restricted Area for over a hundred years, indicating that the area indeed had a significant impact on them, forcing the Insect Race to blockade it but not daring to set foot in it. Otherwise, the various major shelters, which were at a disadvantage, wouldn’t have been safe for over a century.

Subsequently, Lin Qi asked Qin Mu to escort Fan Yaoguang and others to a resting point on the mountain and then instructed Wu Zhuoqun to distribute the four Sky Dome Type Three Life Detectors obtained, especially to ensure the safety of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and Red Moon Town. Additionally, they needed to prevent the Insect Race from infiltrating Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, conducting thorough screenings. Once detected, keep them under close watch and find a way to eliminate or expel them unexpectedly, at all costs, ensuring the Insect Race does not remain in Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

For a time, the entire Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall became busy, prompting various major forces to become cautious, oblivious to what Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was up to. Not only were the comings and goings at the hall tightly scrutinized, but the disciples joining the hall were also subjected to a thorough inspection, leading them to believe that Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was purging personnel planted by major forces, leaving everyone on edge.

Deep within the Wraith Mountain Range, an underground fortress.

With the emergence of an overwhelming blood energy enveloping the entire fortress, everyone inside was alarmed, while the two Smiling Skull vice-captains waiting outside the secret chamber revealed a look of wild joy.

"Big brother succeeded!"

"Celestial Human Realm High Tier Extreme! Now our Smiling Skull has a Great Grandmaster to preside!"

The two vice-captains looked at the tall middle-aged Crystal Race man slowly emerging from the secret chamber, their eyes filled with excitement and admiration.

Great Grandmaster!

This is a term reserved for those who have reached the High Tier Extreme of the Celestial Human Realm.

The distinction from a Grandmaster arises from the vast difference between entering the Celestial Human Realm High Tier and reaching the High Tier Extreme. The minimum standard for those in the Celestial Human Realm High Tier is only 2400 tons, but those in the High Tier Extreme can reach up to 4800 tons.

The basic strength varies by a whole magnitude; a Celestial Human Realm High Tier Grandmaster is like a child in front of a Great Grandmaster, which is why all those who reach the Celestial Human Realm High Tier Extreme are called Great Grandmasters!

This is truly a top expert standing at the pinnacle of the Four Domains!

With a Great Grandmaster in charge, the Smiling Skull could stand as equals with the major powers of the Four Domain Cities.

Just as Smiling Skull leader Lao Shen was about to celebrate, a loud rumble echoed throughout the underground fortress, and an old man along with two young men appeared before Lao Shen and the others.

Upon seeing the old man, Lao Shen and the other two were momentarily stunned.

For this old man was none other than Frost Wolf, the City Lord of Mist Mountain Domain City, and a pride of the Half-Beast Race throughout the Four Domains, standing atop the pinnacle of the Four Domains.

"Frost Wolf, what are you doing here? I don’t recall inviting you!" Lao Shen looked sharply at the slender old man, standing just over three meters tall with blue beast ears.

Facing the City Lord of Mist Mountain Domain City, Frost Wolf, he previously would have been quite wary, but now he was already a Great Grandmaster.

With both being Great Grandmasters, neither feared the other; if provoked, he could directly topple Mist Mountain Domain City, and there was nothing Frost Wolf could do about it.

"And what am I here for?" Frost Wolf looked at Lao Shen, his eyes filled with a smile, as if admiring a piece of art, "I waited a long time for you to reach Great Grandmaster, and luckily you didn’t disappoint. Reaching Great Grandmaster at your age surpasses even those with exceptional talent, adding another extraordinary talent to our family, making our efforts worthwhile over the years."

"What do you mean?" Lao Shen sensed something wasn’t right from Frost Wolf’s peculiar gaze and the two Celestial Human Realm Middle Tier young men next to him, who he had never heard of.

"You don’t need to know; you just need to come along with me," Frost Wolf chuckled at the vigilant Lao Shen, "Rest assured, you won’t feel any pain, and when you wake up, you’ll be reborn."

"Frost Wolf, do you really think I fear you? Now that we’re both Great Grandmasters, what can you do to me?" Lao Shen couldn’t help but laugh as he saw Frost Wolf preparing to take him away, his laughter tinged with coldness. Drawing a third-tier blood-colored battle saber he was carrying, he swung it directly.

Instantly, a blade light extending for tens of kilometers cleaved the underground fortress in two; the shockwaves spread out for several kilometers, killing all martial artists below the Bone Forging Realm.

But as the dust settled, not only was Lao Shen stunned in place, but the two Smiling Skull vice-captains beside him were also left dumbfounded.

Lao Shen’s battle saber was caught in mid-air by a near-tangible giant hand of qi and blood, utterly unable to advance further.

"A Great Grandmaster? Do you not know that even among Great Grandmasters, there is disparity?" Frost Wolf smiled gently, swinging a casual punch.

Suddenly, a nearly solidified giant hand of qi and blood rushed toward Lao Shen, who immediately swung his saber with all his might to block.

Boom!

The gigantic saber image, materializing from the qi and blood illusion, shattered beneath the giant hand of qi and blood, sending Lao Shen flying several hundred meters outside the underground fortress, his mouth gushing blood, his bones seemingly falling apart. Before Lao Shen could regain his senses, Frost Wolf was already in front of him, forming a blade with one hand and slicing down at Lao Shen twice.

Lao Shen’s limbs scattered immediately, and as Lao Shen attempted to gather a qi and blood illusion to escape, Frost Wolf grasped it in mid-air with one hand. A near-tangible giant hand of qi and blood seized Lao Shen, rendering him immobile like a dead dog, able only to pant within the hand, his eyes filled with astonishment and confusion, not understanding what was happening.

"How could this be?!"

This scene left the two Smiling Skull vice-captains in the fortress paralyzed on the spot, trembling all over, utterly unable to believe their eyes.
