In extreme shame and madness, Flaming Blade Duan River's eyes filled with intense killing intent. In the next moment, his Initial Tier Immortal Artifact, the Flaming Blade, surged with a tremendous amount of Immortal Yuan and flew directly back, leaving Lin Xuankong's position! His Late-Stage Third-Grade Earth Immortal Golden Core, controlled by his Heart Thought, also flew back.

However, the Flame Spirit Sparrow King, with its wingspan of ten thousand zhang, had eyes blazing with fire. Carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, it quickly approached Lin Xuankong's position. When the Flame Spirit Sparrow King had attacked Lin Xuankong earlier, it had used its Talent Fire Line and was still a full ten thousand zhang away from him. For a Demon King of this level, however, such a distance was merely a flap of its wings!

As the Flame Spirit Sparrow King flew above Lin Xuankong, its body, originally sleek and covered in countless soaring flames, suddenly emitted a series of twisting, winding lights, as if it were about to split open! Yet, this was clearly not its body cracking open; the Flame Spirit Sparrow King was preparing to self-destruct!

Upon seeing this, the hundreds of Earth Immortals who had already retreated showed slight changes in their expressions and moved even further away. Grand Elder Duan Qianchou of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect furrowed his brows and thoughtfully looked towards Galin Bodhisattva.

In Duan Qianchou's mind, since there was no longer a chance to acquire Mu Shiba, the Artifact Refining Tool, and use him to forge a large number of Immortal Artifacts for the Five Elements Immortal Sect and the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, it was better to destroy Mu Shiba on the spot. This would prevent the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect from using him to grow rapidly. If the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect couldn't have him, why should the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect be able to?

However, despite such thoughts, with Galin Bodhisattva present, even if Duan Qianchou had a thousand times more courage, he would never dare to defy Galin Bodhisattva's preferences and forcefully eliminate Mu Shiba. Yet, at this moment, Duan Qianchou felt somewhat proud. Duan River truly hasn't disappointed me, he thought secretly. Not only is his Cultivation Speed far beyond others, but his decisiveness and ruthlessness are also commendable!

A Late-Stage Third-Grade Flame Spirit Sparrow King self-destructing would severely injure even a Third-Grade Earth Immortal caught in that position. Mu Shiba is doomed this time! The only problem is, how do I explain this to Galin Bodhisattva after Mu Shiba is eliminated? Thinking of this, Duan Qianchou's brows furrowed, a mix of joy and worry on his face.

At this moment, Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er, Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er, and the three Grand Elders all shouted loudly, "Tributor Mu, leave quickly! The Flame Spirit Sparrow King is about to self-destruct!"

"Tributor Mu, don't just stand there! No matter how powerful your Buddha's Light is, it can't withstand the self-destruction of a Late-Stage Third-Grade Demon King-level sparrow!"

As they shouted, Sect Leader Li, Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er, Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er, and the others all activated their Immortal Artifacts, directing them towards Lin Xuankong. They were ready to collectively resist the self-destructive power of the Flame Spirit Sparrow King at any moment.

Just then, the sky suddenly blazed with light. Immediately, a gigantic hand extended from its depths! The hand shone with endless Buddha's Light, so bright it was almost impossible to look at directly. What was most astonishing was its sheer size: a full ten thousand zhang. Even what appeared to be wrinkles on its skin looked like ravines dozens or hundreds of zhang deep! At the edge of the hand were conspicuous hairs, each one hundreds of zhang tall and several zhang thick. This hand extending from the sky was truly enormous!

In truth, an Initial Tier Earth Immortal who had stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm already possessed a massive body. Among the Earth Immortals of the Seventy-Six Immortal Sects Alliance, there were many powerful individuals at the Mid- and Late-Stages of the Fifth Grade. These Fifth-Grade Earth Immortals, who were already considered Middle Grade Earth Immortals, could easily achieve a height of over 5,000 zhang when they activated their Immortal Bodies.

However, even the 5,000-zhang-tall Immortal Body of a Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal was insignificant compared to this ten-thousand-zhang giant palm! One could imagine that in a battle, this enormous hand could easily grab the Immortal Body of a Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal and crush it effortlessly. After all, a 5,000-zhang-tall Immortal Body would only take up half the space in the ten-thousand-zhang giant palm!

And so, as the Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect watched in terror, fearing the Flame Spirit Sparrow King's self-destruction would injure or kill Lin Xuankong; as the hundreds of Earth Immortals from the Seventy-Six Immortal Sects Alliance, fearing they would be caught in the blast, retreated even further; and as Flaming Blade Duan River, his face a mask of sinister madness, prepared to drag Mu Shiba to hell with him even if it meant his own death—at that very moment, the gigantic palm, emitting countless rays of Buddha's Light, suddenly descended from the sky! It forcefully seized the Flame Spirit Sparrow King with its ten-thousand-zhang wingspan!

At that exact instant, the Flame Spirit Sparrow King let out a sudden screech. The countless cracks covering its body simultaneously burst open! A destructive power capable of toppling mountains and raising thousand-zhang-high waves erupted from the Flame Spirit Sparrow King's location, spreading outwards! It had self-destructed! This Late-Stage Third-Grade Demon King-level existence, under Flaming Blade Duan River's control, had detonated itself!

The self-destruction of a Late-Stage Third-Grade Demon King-level being could cause even a Third-Grade Earth Immortal to perish if they were careless. Even a Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal would suffer heavy injuries if too close! Yet, as the Flame Spirit Sparrow King self-destructed while grasped in the giant palm's grip, all of its terrifying destructive power was contained within that hand!

Brilliant Buddha's Light shone continuously from the skin of the giant palm, resisting the self-destructive power of the Late-Stage Third-Grade Demon King. Waves of Immortal Yuan Fluctuation, filled with various Secret Patterns, radiated from every pore on the giant palm. These formed a bright ripple, completely containing all the self-destructive power within its grasp, not allowing even a sliver to spread outwards. It is well known that while the power of an explosion is immense when allowed to spread, its might becomes terrifyingly magnified if confined to a limited space!

Now, all the self-destructive power of the Late-Stage Third-Grade Demon King, the Flame Spirit Sparrow King, was sealed within the palm of the giant, Buddha's Light-infused hand by the Immortal Yuan ripples it emitted. One could only imagine the terrifying force of the Late-Stage Third-Grade Demon King's self-destruction now concentrated and resonating within that palm! Yet, no matter how boundless the power unleashed within its grip, the hand extending from the sky remained slightly clenched, without the slightest tremor.
