"This is truly amazing."

Looking at Fang Han's successful transplantation of the Yin-Yang Tree, Xiang Wantang clicked her tongue in amazement and said, "Brother Fang, does that mean the Yin-Yang Tree will bear fruit and mature ten times faster than before? And it will only take a few years?"

"That's right, the Yin-Yang Fruits I ripened artificially are not as useful as truly ripe Yin-Yang Fruits."

Fang Han said.

...

Meanwhile, at the foot of Yin-Yang Mountain, Champion Marquis Li Hong, Yang Xiao, Wu Yi, Zhuge Yun, Sun Liren, Xiao Yan, and others remained quietly waiting, their eyes occasionally glancing towards the misty mountain peak.

When Fang Han broke through to the peak of the Divine Sense Realm, it caused quite a stir in the world. Even those of them who were far away at the foot of the mountain could clearly feel that powerful aura.

Immediately afterwards, driven by Fang Han's powerful divine sense, the demonic beasts retreated like a tide back into the cave where the earth fire was erupting. The scene was so spectacular and the commotion so immense that it was astonishing.

What's even more astonishing is that Fang Han used supreme techniques to summon lightning and freezing rain, and with the help of the infinitely powerful Creation Sword Technique, he forcefully collapsed the Earth Fire Cave that connected another plane with Yin Yang Mountain.

This series of earth-shattering events terrified even the Champion Marquis and others far below the mountain, as a series of enormous sounds continuously reached their ears.

Although they were at the foot of the mountain, they knew nothing about what was happening on the mountain, but an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.

In their understanding, only a Yuan Dan realm expert, in a desperate situation, could unleash such earth-shattering power by self-destructing their Yuan Dan.

Within this Yin-Yang Mountain, the only expert who has reached the peak of the Yuan Dan realm is Xiang Wantang, the former sect master of the Longyuan Sword Sect.

Little did they know that Xiang Wantang had already broken through the shackles of the Yuan Dan realm and entered the even more profound Ling Tai realm, while the demonic beast Huo Dou on the mountain had already been completely eliminated by Fang Han with overwhelming force.

"My lord, what exactly happened on the mountain? Why was there such a tremendous commotion?"

Wu Yi finally couldn't suppress his doubts and asked.

Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Champions sighed deeply, his expression full of worry: "Alas, I reckon it's possible that Senior Xiang Wantang self-destructed his Yuan Dan."

Ever since Fang Han and Xiang Wantang saved his life in Yin Yang Mountain, the Marquis of Champion seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, his mindset changed dramatically, and he was like a completely different person.

"Then... what about Commander Tantai Qiuyue and Fang Han? Are they also...?"

Wu Yi's voice trembled violently, and he was almost crying.

After a moment of silence, the Marquis of Champion slowly said, "Although they are quite strong, they are still far inferior to Senior Xiang Wantang. The senior even self-destructed his core... I'm afraid their fate is also grim..."

At this point, Champion Hou could no longer continue, a trace of sorrow flashing in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Sun Liren, Zhuge Yun, Xiao Yan, and the other members of the Demon Suppression Division were all ashen-faced and heartbroken.

"Gentlemen, now is not the time for sorrow."

Suppressing his grief, Champion Hou rallied his spirits and said, "These three bravely sacrificed themselves for the sake of the people. I never believed before that such righteous people existed in the world, but today I have witnessed it with my own eyes. The demonic beast Huodou on the mountain is likely to charge down soon. We must be prepared. Although we outnumber them, our strength is still far inferior to Fang Han and Xiang Wantang. Today, we must face death with unwavering resolve and slay all these demonic beasts beneath Yin Yang Mountain!"

Champion Hou knew that if the beast tide really hit them, they would definitely not be able to stop it.

But he still resolutely decided to lead everyone in a final battle against the monster.

His transformation was so rapid that even he himself was surprised.

However, after waiting for a very long time, they found that Yin-Yang Mountain gradually returned to calm, without a sound.

Moreover, the raging fire in the ground seemed to have quietly gone out.

As dawn broke, not a single demonic beast descended the mountain.

"Could it be... that all these demonic beasts have perished?"

Even the usually composed Yang Xiao couldn't suppress his curiosity and couldn't help but ask.

His gaze was fixed on the deep and tranquil forests of Yin-Yang Mountain, as if trying to glean some clues from them.

"If there are still any living demonic beasts, how could they not restrain themselves and rush down the mountain to wreak havoc?"

Wu Yi frowned, his tone full of worry.

"The power of Yuan Dan's self-destruction was too astonishing. It's not impossible that those demonic beasts perished together with them."

"Champion Hou said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with a complex light, showing both mourning for the deceased and vigilance against the unknown."

"Now that it's getting light, shall we go up the mountain to investigate?"

Zhuge Yun of the Demon Suppression Division could no longer contain himself. He was eager to know the fate of Fang Han, Tantai Qiuyue, and Xiang Wantang, still clinging to a sliver of hope.

"Don't panic yet. We still need to be on high alert in case the monsters suddenly come down the mountain and attack. If our formation breaks down now, we may not be able to withstand the monsters' fierce attack."

"I am the champion," the Marquis commanded in a deep voice, his tone conveying an unquestionable authority.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yun, Sun Liren, Xiao Yan, and several hundred other members of the Demon Suppression Division fell silent and said nothing more.

They all knew in their hearts that the hope of survival for those on the mountain was extremely slim, but no one wanted to accept this cruel reality.
