Yan Zaizen felt a sensation of intense deadly crisis, and it felt incredibly strong. His instincts screamed at him that if that mountain arrived, it could threaten his very life. It was the strongest he had ever felt, even stronger than when he was running away from the meteorite descending from the sky before. ”I can't let it appear.” He concluded, his mind rapidly thinking of solutions.

He looked at the mountain and realized something peculiar and familiar about its current state.

Could it be?!

Taking a deep breath, he spread his arms wide. ”I hope this works.” He mumbled, his hands started to glow with resplendent silver light, then the silver light erupted over his entire body completely overwhelming the silver-blue light in brilliance. He ran the idea of it into his mind once more and felt correct.

Currently, the emerald mountain was not here, it was instead in a state of mid-transition, so physically speaking, it wasn't here but in Xiāo City. It was reminiscent of a spatial platform in Xuanwu City, but unlike the spatial formation that Han Genju used to get them to escape ten thousand li. The former transports in a similar way to teleportation, while the latter was more of a physical movement shift. Similar to when he was on the spatial platform, there's a small window where one could directly interfere with the preparatory phase of the teleportation.

However, the talisman seemed to be a one-time spatial platform that would send the mountain where it was shattered. This meant the mountain had to have a spatial platform beneath it enabling this, and it must be massive. The wealth to send it just once must be extraordinary.

A cold grin suffused on Yan Zaizen's lips. A beam of silver light shot towards the silhouette of the emerald mountain. Lord Xiāo was shocked seeing this, his eyes widening at this event. What was he doing?

Unfortunately, they were actually quite a distance from each other and he was far too weak to attack when the opponent had thousands of tendrils surrounding him in defense. He needed to prepare another big attack, so he simply did that while waiting for the mountain to arrive to launch a powerful strike.

Despite it taking so long to describe the happenings, the entire engagement had been less than thirty seconds.

The mountain was hit by the silver light which originated from the Spatial Form of Infinite Stability, and like a shadow, the power that it drew itself from destabilized in a similar way as the spatial platform was tampered with at Xuanwu City.

POOF!

The entire mountain vanished. Not just the shadow, but the mountain itself.

Lord Xiāo, Elder Mei, Prince Ren, and everyone else in their group or those who were watching from afar due to this high-level fight catching their attention, had their eyes turned into a needlepoint.

”Wh...what just happened?!” Someone who was a part of the imperial skyship's crew shouted in shock.

”The...the transference...failed…” Elder Mei said, but then she turned instinctively towards Xiāo City, and albeit it was exceptionally far away, the mountain that was always visible was no longer there.

”IMPOSSIBLE!!!” Her entire existence trembled from the sheer shock, and her mind turned dull at the sight of a missing mountain. Her shrieking voice caused everyone, including Lord Xiāo to look towards Xiāo City. There was a form of pure silence in the world, even the wind, the earth, the animals, and their breathing halted as if in agreement of shock.

”WHAT?!” Lord Xiāo felt his mind explode from this realization. He looked towards Yan Zaizen with eyes filled with intense anger and intense shock as well as fear, ”WHAT DID YOU DO?!”

As for Yan Zaizen, he felt incomparably exhausted as nearly all of his qi was drained in one go. Most people urged caution when releasing their qi all at once due to the damage it can do to one's qi-pathways and meridians, but for him, they have been refined to the peak, and his Herculean Physique strengthened them even more. He could withstand such a force at the qi strength of a peak-Essence Formation Realm.

This didn't mean it wouldn't wear him down. He wasn't physically exhausted or spiritual exhausted, but it was like someone took out all of the blood in his body in one go. It felt odd, exhausting, and empty.

However, ”It worked!” He couldn't help but chuckle softly with hints of exhaustion behind the mask, but he wasn't done yet.

”This mountain is no longer yours.” His voice was icy-cold filled with imperialistic flavor as if stating a fact that couldn't be any more true.

He touched the empty space and his hand seemed to be vanishing into nothingness. A second later, the Xiāo City lord immediately felt as if his connection to the emerald mountain was severed. A massive amount of blood spewed out of his body and he collapsed from the sky almost instantly. As everyone witnessed this, their eyes widened once more with shock and fear.
