As soon as the white-haired old man made his move, the other two agreed-upon Heavenly Immortal experts also roared into action, successively plowing out a trench in the sea.

In an instant, the sea trenches, each nearly twenty miles long on one side, connected end to end, forming a massive triangle visible from the sky, a spectacular sight.

The three were not focused on this; after the triangular sea trenches formed, they used their arms to push wildly to the sides, attempting to widen the trenches and sever the broad connection of the power between the trenches.

Li Hongjiu immediately noticed this and instantly understood their intent. He cast a spell with his open arms again, and an invisible force from the vast sea powerfully pressed onto the trenches dug by the three Heavenly Immortal experts, effectively pressing towards all three of them.

The three Heavenly Immortal experts instantly felt the pressure, yet they stiffened their necks and cast their spells with determination, swearing to withstand and sever Li Hongjiu's connection with the vast sea power.

However, they underestimated the severity of this, thinking they could endure by holding out, unaware that invisible force was constantly stacking up from the far sea.

Under the continuous accumulation and increase of pressure, the terrifying power gathered from the vast ocean was unimaginable for ordinary people. The three withstood it, veins popping on their necks, eyes bulging, and one by one spitting blood.

With bloodshot eyes and a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth, the white-haired old man unwillingly turned to look at Li Hongjiu in the distance. Suddenly, a glint in his eyes, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly cast a spell, shouting loudly, "Act with unity, break the center with three points!"

The Heavenly Immortal experts at the other two corners of the triangle, Black-clothed Guest and Grey-clothed Guest, also looked in the same direction, towards where Li Hongjiu was.

Sharing a moment of synchronicity under the constantly increasing pressure, the arms thrust towards Li Hongjiu's direction suddenly erupted with powerful mana, simultaneously striking with a forceful attack.

Upon hearing the shout, Li Hongjiu's expression changed slightly. He originally intended to accumulate power for a deadly strike against the three, but now had to abandon that plan, urgently turning to shout at Shi Chun, "Not good, run!"

He flicked away, shooting straight up into the sky.

Shi Chun wasn't slow to react. Having long noticed something was off and was already on guard, coupled with hearing the shout of the Heavenly Immortal expert, as soon as he saw Li Hongjiu's call and movement, he swiftly leapt skyward, with his Black Lotus Dharma Aspect assisting him aloft.

Boom!

This time, it truly was an earth-shattering commotion.

The vast triangular sea area, formed by the three trenches, suddenly collapsed entirely, erupting into crashing waves that the semi-hidden rising sun on the horizon illuminated, directly catching up with and engulfing Shi Chun and Li Hongjiu, causing them to lose sight of each other.

Despite the explosion covering a large area, the power of the water splash exploded by the three Heavenly Immortal experts was still not something a monk in the Human Immortal Realm could easily withstand.

But Li Hongjiu's technique of borrowing force was not just for show. With one hand, he flicked a sleeve to block and with the other, flicked a sleeve to counter the impact from below.

Clearing a patch of vision amidst the splash, he was unsure if Shi Chun could withstand it. Suddenly, he spotted Shi Chun bouncing upwards nearby, using the Boundless Banner as a foot mat for stepping in mid-air, gripping the ends of the banner in each hand, using it to block waves of water, with the Black Lotus Dharma Aspect offering additional protection. It was evident he protected himself well, fiercely desirous of life.

The movements were somewhat comical.

Of course, Li Hongjiu always found this guy comical, so he didn't mind much. What he truly cared about was that this rascal was hopping up and down in the air as if walking on flat ground. During their previous confrontation in the Divine Fire Domain, he thought it was some magic. Now, observing closely, he realized it wasn't at all. This rascal had many tricks!

For Shi Chun, whether it looked good or not was irrelevant; what mattered was survival, and usefulness was the best attribute.

As Shi Chun turned his head, he also saw Li Hongjiu. Seeing him pause amidst the water splash, Shi Chun immediately stopped running too, thinking staying close to Li Hongjiu was safer than running.

Li Hongjiu glanced at the splashing water rising around them, realizing that the power of the tides had been instantly shattered by the joint effort of the three Heavenly Immortal experts.

He knew well that once this technique's weakness was discovered, he wouldn't be able to use it again on those three Heavenly Immortals.

Shi Chun also understood the implications, inwardly grumbling, fearing they couldn't escape this ordeal, when suddenly he saw Li Hongjiu clap his hands together with a sharp double-arm swipe, instantly igniting two Red Flame Divine Fires. With a flick of his fingers, two radiant flames shot from his fingertips.

The Divine Fire turned water into steam, instantly vaporizing the water, with the flames rapidly splitting, two into four, four into eight, breaking down along the way, quickly dispersing and decorating the explosive water akin to a glorious sunset, blooming like a massive mushroom cloud in the sky.

From a distance, some in the air were dumbfounded, unable to see clearly due to the water splash obscuring their view.

The group in front of the inn's mirror image was staring intently.

In the trench, the white-haired old man, waist-length, showed no mercy, exploding the massive triangular sea area. Regardless of whether he could see Li Hongjiu, he casually spun out a brilliant ice-soul-like disc, flinging it straight towards Li Hongjiu's location.

Where the misty white disc reached, the water waves were instantly frozen solid, slicing through the water like a rolling wheel, quickly plowing through the spot where Li Hongjiu and Shi Chun had just stood on the sea surface. Fortunately, the two reacted swiftly and dodged in time.

The white-haired old man, who had yet to retract his Cold Moon Shield, suddenly looked up, seeing the skyward spouting water flower presenting a fantastical red glow with a sense of blurred illusion, and within it, a bizarre interplay of light and shadows as if various demons were roaming.

In the sea trench, three Heavenly Immortal experts, each holding up a section of the seawall, had already felt that the terrifying sea power accumulated was disintegrating. Almost simultaneously, they looked up to the sky, revealing expressions of astonishment, all unsure of what new trickery was afoot.

The distant onlookers could not see clearly, nor could those in front of the mirror image.

Shi Chun, who was beside Li Hongjiu, naturally saw everything clearly. All he saw was Li Hongjiu slicing the air before him, arcs of electricity dancing at his fingertips, with gusts of wind swirling around.

The surrounding fog rolled, the wind speed increased, and the faint red glow gradually died out.

Shi Chun vaguely knew what he was up to, probably intending to harness lightning, but the current atmospheric conditions were too difficult to quickly form on a large scale. Meanwhile, the mana fluctuations probed by those three Heavenly Immortal experts had clearly been repeatedly scanning over them.

He said anxiously, "Brother Jiu, gathering the power of thunder might be too late, and its scale may not suffice against experts of their caliber. We need another strategy."

As he spoke, his right eye superpower observed the surroundings, fearing those three experts might sneak attack.

"Not necessarily; if insufficient, then borrow!", Li Hongjiu said calmly, showing no signs of panic, remaining unruffled.

The double finger strike in front of him suddenly flicked, the shimmering arc at his fingertips transformed into a small stream of light, rushing into the churning cloud group, seemingly igniting something, and exploding with a rolling thunderous boom, with faint flashes of lightning.

The three Heavenly Immortal experts in the three sea trenches had already abandoned supporting the seawalls, emerging one after another, instantly witnessing the collapse of the massive seawalls, submerging the large triangle they carved in the sea.

Having severed the sea power, the three were initially about to act forcefully but paused upon seeing the sudden mist and thunderous sky despite the clear weather, refraining from rash action, knowing that Li Hongjiu was somewhat devious.

But that didn't mean they could stand by, especially not the waist-length white-haired old man, who cared not for Shi Chun's life or death, thus acting without hesitation, delivering a palm strike from a distance.

This palm surged forward, as if to instantly clear the expansive rising mist.

However, the palm strike entered, indeed causing the mist sea to agitate, yet not in the manner imagined, but instead swiftly rotating.

Within the mist sea, Shi Chun quickly looked around, seeing the rotating mist suddenly whistling, violently spiraling rapidly, while Li Hongjiu before him, as if in deep concentration, remained focused, unmoved by the surrounding fierce winds whipping his clothes.

All the mist around them was instantly sucked away, standing now within a huge hollow wind pillar, a massive fog whirlwind instantly forming.

The white-haired old man, seeing his attack unsuccessful, immediately incanted aloud, "What are you two waiting for? Just like before, let's break it together!"

His voice, like thunder, reverberated across the heavens, buzzing and vibrating the eardrums.

After speaking, he took the lead in attacking, launching multiple palm strikes in succession.

The Black-clothed Guest and Grey-clothed Guest on the other side similarly attacked, unleashing consecutive distant strikes without pause.

However, they quickly sensed something amiss. Given their Heavenly Immortal Realm strength, their powerful attacks, striking the tornado, had no effect; the only change was the increasing speed of the tornado, spinning as if to rotate the entire heavens.

It wasn't just faster; for Shi Chun in the tornado's center, the surrounding speed was absurdly fast, staring at one spot closely could make one dizzy, and there were electric snakes crawling everywhere around; looking up, the hovering dazzling electric light resembled a lightning royal court.

The East Victory group floating at a distance looked skyward, discovering the sky darkening, as the rolling thick clouds from the top of the tornado began rapidly expanding across the sky, spreading at an astonishing speed, truly altering the world's color.

In the rapidly enveloping clouds, electric snakes continually rolled; the light of the horizon was slowly disappearing, with the half-risen sun seemingly pressed down to a thin line.

The fierce winds howled, ocean waves surged, and the sense of an impending storm over the sea grew increasingly tangible.

The group was shocked by the violent expansion speed of these clouds, and one couldn't help but gulp, saying, "What kind of skill is this, and how can a monk of the Human Immortal Realm have such a strong driving force in cultivation?"

The square-faced leader intently looking at the base of the tornado muttered, "It seems to be extracting seawater!"

In the inn's mirror image, no figures could be seen, only the thick spiral of extensive clouds obscuring everything, within the vortex's central area, scattered with myriad tons of thunderbolts like countless shining Divine Dragons flying and circling.
