    Chapter 458

    Inside the main hall of Moonwatch Valley, the six Unity Realm masters of the Six Lineages sat cross-legged in a perfect hexagonal formation.

    Yun Xiao looked around at everyone before speaking calmly.

    "When the Six Lineages Thousand-Mile Journey is activated, I will be responsible for controlling its direction and leading everyone out of here as quickly as possible."

    She paused briefly.

    "This is also my first time activating the Six Lineages Formation. I cannot guarantee everything will proceed perfectly, so I will need all of your full cooperation."

    Yue You immediately nodded.

    "Please don't worry, Senior Sister."

    Yu Feixian smiled.

    "Naturally."

    The remaining three also nodded without objection.

    Seeing everyone's agreement, Yun Xiao slowly exhaled.

    "Very well."

    "Let's begin."

    Silence descended upon the hall.

    The six masters closed their eyes, regulating their breathing until their minds reached perfect tranquility.

    A few moments later, Yun Xiao raised her hands and formed the first series of hand seals.

    A layer of soft milky-white light enveloped her body.

    Yue You immediately followed.

    Silver radiance emerged around him, gradually intertwining with Yun Xiao's white light.

    Soon afterward, Feng Ye Shuang, Yu Feixian, Chen Gu, and Wu Yao successively activated their techniques.

    Six different colors intertwined in the center of the formation.

    The lights continuously fused together.

    Their brilliance became increasingly dazzling until every color disappeared into a single golden radiance.

    The six figures seemed to merge into one.

    The golden light continued growing brighter, eventually forming a gigantic rotating ring.

    From outside, the six people inside were no longer visible.

    The golden disc slowly floated upward.

    It drifted out of the main hall, passed through the palace gates, and then suddenly accelerated into the sky.

    Like a golden meteor, it pierced through the dense mist surrounding Moonwatch Valley.

    The mountain-protecting formation offered no resistance.

    Once outside the mist, the golden disc chose a direction and instantly shot into the distance.

    Its speed was astonishing.

    Within moments, it had become nothing more than a tiny golden speck on the horizon.

    ...

    The instant the golden disc emerged from the mist, every Unity Realm cultivator waiting outside noticed it.

    They naturally understood what it represented.

    The six masters of Moonwatch Valley...

    ...were escaping.

    Ordinarily, none of them would have allowed six Unity Realm cultivators to flee.

    Yet at this moment...

    Not a single person moved.

    Because something far more terrifying had already seized everyone's attention.

    The Crystal Thief had appeared.

    That alone would not have been enough to frighten them.

    The truly horrifying fact was that...

    Fifteen Unity Realm cultivators had already been confirmed dead.

    Fifteen.

    Every one of them was a famous expert whose name shook the cultivation world.

    No one present had ever imagined that Unity Realm cultivators could die so easily.

    Were Unity Realm experts vegetables growing by the roadside?

    Could they simply be cut down one after another?

    Yet reality was lying before them.

    More than a dozen headless corpses rested quietly beneath the surrounding mountains.

    No amount of disbelief could change that.

    Only then did everyone realize the terrifying truth.

    Someone...

    ...could slaughter Unity Realm cultivators as casually as ordinary people slaughtered chickens.

    Even more terrifying—

    That person seemed to accomplish it effortlessly.

    Just as Unity Realm cultivators regarded Foundation Establishment cultivators as insignificant...

    ...the Crystal Thief appeared to regard Unity Realm cultivators exactly the same way.

    Some people couldn't help wondering...

    "Has the Crystal Thief already surpassed the Unity Realm?"

    "If so... what realm has he reached?"

    "Is that why he appears and disappears without leaving any trace?"

    The remaining thirty-nine Unity Realm cultivators instinctively gathered together.

    Every defensive artifact they possessed had already been activated.

    Protective barriers surrounded each of them layer after layer.

    Every pair of eyes constantly swept across the surroundings.

    No one dared relax.

    From what they had observed...

    Whenever the Crystal Thief appeared...

    One Unity Realm cultivator would immediately lose his head.

    None of the victims had even managed to self-destruct before dying.

    ...

    Ling Xuan's expression had long since lost its former elegance.

    His face was twisted with hatred.

    He hated the Crystal Thief to his very bones.

    Originally, he had promoted the siege of Moonwatch Valley partly to lure out the Crystal Thief.

    With dozens of Unity Realm cultivators joining forces...

    Surely they could eliminate a single person.

    That had been his confidence.

    Now...

    He realized how naïve he had been.

    Not only he...

    Even the dozens of Unity Realm experts gathered around him possessed no means whatsoever of dealing with someone who could freely traverse space.

    At that moment someone suddenly spoke.

    "Why don't we separate and flee?"

    The speaker glanced around before continuing.

    "The Crystal Thief is only one person."

    "He can't chase all of us at once."

    "As for who survives..."

    "...that will depend on each person's luck."

    Immediately another cultivator shook his head.

    "If we scatter, we'll simply be hunted down one by one."

    "Only by remaining together do we have any chance of resisting him."

    Someone immediately sneered.

    "So we should just stay here like pigs waiting to be slaughtered?"

    The previous speaker frowned.

    "Who are you calling pigs?"

    Another cultivator interrupted.

    "Think about it."

    "We've gathered together for so long."

    "Yet the Crystal Thief hasn't attacked again."

    "Doesn't that prove he doesn't dare confront us directly while we're united?"

    Several people nodded.

    "That actually makes sense."

    "Perhaps there's something he fears."

    "We should think carefully."

    "Is there any technique capable of restraining him?"

    The discussion immediately became lively.

    Everyone proposed one possibility after another.

    ...

    Among them, Shan Huan remained composed from beginning to end.

    The long-faced man with the high ponytail smiled faintly.

    "I have a method."

    "A method capable of killing the Crystal Thief."

    The surrounding discussions stopped instantly.

    Everyone turned toward him.

    Ling Xuan's eyes brightened.

    "Fellow Daoist Shan Huan, please explain."

    Shan Huan smiled confidently.

    "Have you forgotten..."

    "...what cultivators like us excel at most?"

    Ling Xuan frowned.

    "You mean... exorcism techniques?"

    Shi Jian from the Triple Phoenix Pavilion immediately shook his head.

    "Impossible."

    "I've fought the Crystal Thief before."

    "Exorcism techniques are useless against him."

    Shan Huan smiled.

    "They aren't useless."

    "They simply failed to hit him."

    Ling Xuan nodded.

    "Exactly."

    "The real problem is making contact."

    Shan Huan folded his hands behind his back.

    "We don't need to chase him."

    "We only need him to come to us."

    Ling Xuan asked curiously,

    "And how do we accomplish that?"

    Shan Huan's smile widened.

    "First, everyone reinforces one another with defensive techniques until every layer of protection is complete."

    "Then we spread out slightly."

    "When the Crystal Thief chooses someone to attack..."

    "...the instant he appears..."

    "...everyone unleashes exorcism techniques in every direction simultaneously."

    "No matter whom he targets, he will inevitably appear inside our attack range."

    "At that distance..."

    "...he won't have enough time to dodge."

    "He will definitely be struck."

    "Even if he survives..."

    "...he will suffer heavy injuries."

    "After that..."

    "...he won't dare pursue us again."

    The eyes of many cultivators lit up.

    Whether it could truly kill the Crystal Thief remained uncertain.

    But severely injuring him...

    That possibility certainly existed.

    Ling Xuan burst into laughter.

    "Excellent!"

    "Fellow Daoist Shan Huan truly possesses remarkable wisdom!"

    ...

    Meanwhile...

    Su Hao had no intention of continuing his previous method of assassination.

    Not because he feared the gathered Unity Realm cultivators.

    Rather...

    Since they had thoughtfully assembled together...

    There was no reason not to give them a proper gift.

    A giant bomb.

    If everything went well...

    One explosion would strip away every defensive barrier they possessed.

    Afterward...

    He could simply teleport from one person to another, harvesting heads with ease.

    "I've never tested Two Thousand Bursts using spiritual power before."

    "This seems like the perfect opportunity."

    The diamond armor beneath Su Hao's feet flowed outward.

    Layer after layer of densely packed Burst rune formations rapidly took shape.

    Ten minutes later...

    An enormous crystal sphere nearly ten meters in diameter floated before him.

    Through its transparent surface, countless rune formations could be seen interlocking in breathtaking complexity.

    It possessed a strange yet mesmerizing beauty.

    Su Hao slowly placed one hand against the crystal sphere.

    Carefully...

    He began injecting spiritual power into it.

    He remained extremely cautious.

    If it detonated prematurely...

    Even he might not escape in time.

    Time slowly passed.

    Finally...

    The crystal sphere became completely saturated with spiritual power.

    Soft emerald radiance spread throughout its interior.

    Two Thousand Bursts...

    ...had entered its fully activated state.

    At the same time, nearly half of Su Hao's own spiritual power reserves disappeared.

    All that remained...

    ...was a tiny activation mechanism at the sphere's core.

    With a single thought...

    The entire crystal sphere would transform into a miniature sun.

    Everything nearby would cease to exist.

    Just then, Su Hao raised an eyebrow.

    "Hm?"

    "They actually spread out."

    He observed the Unity Realm cultivators through his spiritual sense.

    Although they had increased the distance between one another...

    They still remained comfortably inside the blast radius.

    Su Hao chuckled.

    "I wonder what they're planning."

    "They certainly have plenty of ideas."

    "Very well."

    "Good luck."

    His spatial module activated.

    With both hands...

    He shoved the enormous crystal sphere forward.

    The ten-meter sphere vanished instantly.

    The next moment...

    It appeared directly in the middle of the gathered Unity Realm cultivators.

    Ling Xuan.

    Shan Huan.

    Shi Jian.

    And every other Unity Realm cultivator stared blankly at the enormous emerald crystal sphere that had suddenly materialized among them.

    Question marks filled every mind.

    "..."

    "What..."

    "...is that?"
