400(bad(1) - Senior Sister Is on Top

Here is the English translation of the provided text: --- This still wasn’t enough. The erupting lava was pierced by waves of pitch-black spiritual light, and the powerful impact forced the lava to retreat over a thousand zhang! Countless fireballs and streams of fire burst forth like an exploding cauldron of oil, carrying a tyrannical force capable of obliterating everything, and without warning, they spewed toward Baixuan City! No one would doubt that once touched by these flames, anyone would be reduced to ashes! Even tens of thousands of cultivators would be no exception! The commander’s eyes suddenly contracted as he realized what was happening, his eyes almost bursting with fury as he stared at the scene before him. “No! Baixuan City!” He hastily activated the city’s protective formation, feeling immensely fortunate that, although he was not in the city, he still held the city lord’s token, allowing him to activate the formation at any time to defend against this threat. However, his sense of relief was short-lived and quickly turned to despair. The reason was simple: the power of the Earth’s veins was immensely ferocious, and now that it was out of control, how could it possibly be resisted by a mere formation? With a loud *bang*, the fireballs and lava collided with the formation barrier, which almost instantly shattered. Chapter 228 The lava erupted violently, the flames roaring savagely, and the maddening power of the Earth’s veins engulfed the entire Baixuan City in the blink of an eye. The scorching lava burned through the formation, the city walls, the soil, and the armored bows and crossbows. Nothing could stop the spread of the fierce flames, and no matter how powerful the spells, they were all ineffective against it. The commander and hundreds of officers watched the scene before them, their eyes nearly bursting from their sockets. Before today, they had imagined the boundless power of the Earth’s veins countless times, even guessing that not even a god-emperor blessed by heaven could withstand it. But they had never calculated that the lava, instead of eliminating their enemies, would easily destroy them instead. They would never believe this was their comeuppance, and being naturally greedy, they would only blame everything on their enemies. “Damn it!” the commander shouted in fury. As he glanced at the culprit who had destroyed the formation in mid-air, his eyes burned with rage, and he charged towards them with all his might. He was already in the Great Ascension stage, with his spells honed to perfection. Now, filled with anger, he moved at full speed, crossing a thousand zhang in almost an instant, arriving in front of Jiang Yin. He drew his long sword and aimed straight for her throat without hesitation. Jiang Yin had anticipated that the enemy would not let her attack go unchallenged, so she was already on guard. The moment she sensed a sharp killing intent targeting her, she didn’t dare to face it head-on. Instead, she relied on the divine power of her demonic blade to deflect the blow. However, she had not expected the commander to be so enraged, nearly disregarding his own life, and launching a fierce and ruthless attack, giving her no chance to counter. Seeing her attempt to deflect the attack, the commander sneered, unleashing his ultimate technique. In an instant, countless clones appeared, and cold silver lights attacked from all directions! The change happened too quickly. Before Jiang Yin could react, she was already surrounded by a storm of blades and swords, any one of which could decapitate her in an instant! Not good! Just as she thought she was about to be severely injured, a pure white light suddenly shot out from behind her, merging with the Yin energy in her hand, forming a mysterious and profound Tai Chi symbol that absorbed all the countless sword intents! “Senior Sister!” Tang Muxi summoned the Eight Trigrams of Heaven and Earth, channeling three heavenly thunders that struck fiercely towards the commander. This attack was not aimed at taking his life, but simply at driving him away. The thunder was loud but harmless. But the commander, unaware of this, felt the presence of the divine artifact and had no choice but to dodge swiftly, despite his unwillingness. Tang Muxi pushed him back, then quickly approached to check on her senior sister. Finding that she was unharmed, she let out a sigh of relief. On the other side, the commander watched their close interaction, realizing that this person was the god-emperor. He couldn’t help but sneer, “So, this is the so-called god-emperor—an underhanded and shameless person who treats lives like grass!” Before Tang Muxi could respond, Jiang Yin spoke first, rebuking him, “Underhanded and shameless? Let’s not even mention that you, a commander at the Great Ascension stage, ambushed me, a cultivator at the Integration stage. Just the fact that you lured us here, setting up the Earth’s vein and its lava—was that meant to keep us warm?” Had they not been vigilant and keenly aware, the situation could have been entirely reversed. On the battlefield, all’s fair in war, but to be exposed, turned against, and then to pull out the banner of morality and righteousness to vehemently denounce the other was truly nauseating. The commander, unable to outargue her, became enraged. He summoned his long sword and once again attacked relentlessly. But having been caught off guard once, how could they let him succeed a second time? Before he could unleash his ultimate technique, a blue flame carrying the sound of a phoenix’s cry came straight at him. “How shameless for a Great Ascension cultivator to attack a junior at the Integration stage! Since the commander is so agitated and eager to vent his anger, let me be your opponent!” The commander’s eyes narrowed. He had long heard that the Western Demon King’s bloodline was so pure that it rivaled that of ancient divine beasts. He never expected to face her today. Knowing that his opponent was powerful, he dared not be careless. He attacked with full force, intending to quickly gain the upper hand with his fierce strikes. When the main generals engaged in battle, their subordinates naturally couldn’t just stand by. Before long, the area above the Earth’s fire became chaotic, descending into a melee. At the Great Ascension stage, cultivation level alone no longer meant much. Powerful beings like the Demon Emperor or the Ghost Emperor could shatter the void with a mere shadow, while the weaker ones could only blend into noble families, relying on their seniority to earn the title of ancestor. Wen Dai possessed the blood of the Green Luan, a divine beast whose bloodline had become extinct. Her bloodline was the purest seen in ten thousand years. Coupled with her exceptional martial talent, her strength was among the top even in the history of demon kings. Though the commander was also a descendant of a divine beast, he was merely a branch of the Azure Dragon, with only a faint trace of bloodline power. In a direct confrontation, the commander was at a disadvantage. If he continued to wear himself down in the fight, his slim chances of victory would vanish. The commander knew his situation well. Unable to land a hit, he transformed into his true Azure Dragon form, intending to use overwhelming force to defeat her. He opened his massive mouth, absorbing and gathering the surrounding fire energy, and then unleashed it in a furious breath. With a loud *boom*, the dragon breath merged with the flames, unleashing a force powerful enough to shake the heavens and the earth. Countless blazing flames exploded across the sky, and the entire clear sky was dyed with the color of fire. Wen Dai was unfazed. She exhaled a ball of green fire to counter the attack.
