With the spirits joining the fight, the situation became even more under control. Most of the cultivators could not handle his spirits. All his spirits were Archaic-ranked spirits, equivalent to God Rank, which was equivalent to the late-stage True God Realm.

There were fewer than a hundred True God Realms even when the Demonic Factions and the Heaven Founder combined their forces. Even fewer were in the late-stage True God Realm. The tide of the battle quickly changed as the Heaven Founder and the demonic faction’s numbers were dwindling.

While Tang Shaoyang was observing the situation through his Chaos Eyes, Avyn returned to his side. She brought Alderman Fiodor toward him as well.

"You finally returned... What takes you so long?" Avyn questioned Tang Shaoyang with concern and displeasure.

"I would like to tell you, but I don’t think it’s the time. It can’t be explained with just one sentence," Tang Shaoyang winked his right eye at Avyn and pointed toward Alderman.

The whole city was under his Absolute Chaos Domain. It was weird to see that the magma’s color was gray. Alderman was floating high in the air. The gray magma dripped and burned the ground.

The magma burnt everything they touched except for his leafless trees. The black and white trees were unaffected by the magma.

Alderman seemed to realize something at the sight of Tang Shaoyang. He was so angry at the woman who blasted him away. That anger blinded him to his original goal to kill Tang Shaoyang while Tang Shaoyang was in the Soul Entrapment.

The former Executive Administrator calmed down, no longer rushing toward Avyn. He regained composure and realized that the situation was worse than he thought.

The Heaven Founder and the demonic cultivators were pushed back by Tang Shaoyang’s spirits. He heard about those spirits, but he didn’t expect the spirits to be so strong as to go toe to toe against the True God Realm cultivators. That meant those spirits were equal to God Ranks.

On top of that, two women could fight Mo Tianshen and him. Of course, he hadn’t gone all out to face the draconian woman. But it was impressive for the woman to hold him down. The situation might be worse than he thought.

Tang Shaoyang took out his battle axe, World Destroyer. He was ready to battle the former Executive Administrator, but there was still one thing that bothered him. The fact that Avyn didn’t try to fight Alderman.

"By the way, why didn’t you fight him seriously?"

Alderman overheard the question. He thought the woman was being cautious and purposely being on the defensive all the time. He realized something from that single question. The woman indeed didn’t try to fight him, just holding him down. Based on that question, Tang Shaoyang believed the woman could fight him.

Avyn rolled her eyes, "Don’t you want to fight him? You even told us before this battle not to touch him."

That answer made Alderman boil with anger. More magma dripped down from his body, making it look like a waterfall of magma. The temperature rose, causing Avyn to frown.

"Your answer angered him," Tang Shaoyang pointed toward Alderman by nudging his head.

Right after that, Alderman’s figure blurred, landing in front of Tang Shaoyang and Avyn. It went with a boom as the magma splashed in all directions.

Before the magma could spread out, Tang Shaoyang raised the earth wall, quickly confining Alderman and the magma. While the earth wall didn’t last long as it was melted by the magma, Tang Shaoyang successfully prevented the magma from spreading.

The melting earth wall was like a curtain falling. The moment the wall disappeared, Tang Shaoyang’s figure flashed and appeared in front of Alderman. He swung the battle axe toward Alderman’s neck.

Alderman grinned, finding Tang Shaoyang laughable. In his current form, that battle axe was not going to hurt. That was his first thought when he saw Tang Shaoyang appear in front of him.

As the battle axe came closer to him, he sensed an ominous feeling coming from the attack. His sense of danger screamed at him. He quickly formed a shield with his magma, forming a curved layer of magma in front of him.

Alderman was late to form the barrier, but he thought that should be enough to soak up the impact behind the strike. That was what he thought until the battle axe hit his shield.

His eyes widened in shock at the moment of impact. It felt like he was hit by an unbelievable force. It came from a God Rank’s perspective. It was unbelievable for a God Rank as old as him to be overpowered purely by the force.

The magma shield burst apart, and the force sent Alderman flying. The grayed figure blasted toward the city wall, crashing into the wall with a boom.

The angered Alderman quickly got back on his feet and erupted in anger. The magma burst forth in an eruption that blasted the city wall and the surrounding area. The impact swallowed not just the city wall, but also the cultivators on the wall. The grayed magma burns everything on its path.

Those cultivators were the ones who maintained the formation barrier that confined the whole city. With some of them dead, the formation was weakened considerably. But the remaining formation masters quickly stabilized the formation, forced to expend an extra internal energy to achieve it.

"TANG SHAOYANG!"

Alderman’s furious voice echoed through the city as the massive figure rose.

"There’s no need to shout, I am here!"

Tang Shaoyang was right in front of the magma with his battle axe in the air. An ominous energy gathered around the blade of the battle axe that sent Alderman a chill down the back of his spine.

Tang Shaoyang combined two World Destroyer’s skills, World Siphon and World Split. The World Siphon absorbed the surrounding internal energy, converting it into Death Energy. Then he combined it with the World Split.

Sensing the incoming danger, Alderman reacted quickly. His four hands enlarged, reaching almost eight meters, clenching his fist. At the same time, the heat intensified. Alderman’s surroundings were melting, turning everything around him into magma.

As the battle axe went down, Alderman sent his fist toward the battle axe. The magma fist clashed against the battle axe, but the battle axe went through the fist, splitting them apart. The battle axe went through the four fists and hit the ground.

BOOM!

The world shook, and the ground was split apart, creating a massive gorge and swallowing everything on its path. The formation could not contain the force and broke apart.

A ten-meter-wide gap formed on the ground. The grayed magma flowed into that gap, and Alderman was nowhere to be seen.

Tang Shaoyang remained on his spot, still holding the battle axe in his right hand. Alderman was nowhere to be seen, but he knew that one strike was not enough to kill Alderman.

Sure enough, he sensed something rising up from the deep gorge. It was the magma, quickly filling the gorge. It didn’t take long for the magma to fill the gap completely, overflowing to the surface, flooding the surface with magma.

It didn’t stop there. The magma floated in the air, gathering in one spot, slowly forming an eye. It looked like an eye, a closed eye. Then a figure came out from the magma that filled the gorge.

Alderman lost both his hands, bleeding profusely from the part where they were cut. He survived the World Split, but he lost two hands. The worst part was that the Death Energy prevented the regeneration of a new hand.

Alderman’s figure reached the giant eye in the sky, just a few meters below the eye. Then the massive eye opened. In the same moment, Alderman’s missing hand regenerated.

"TANG SHAOYANG!!!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

As he screamed, everything on the ground turned into magma. He turned everything on the surface into magma, swallowing everything, turning the city into a sea of magma.
