Having experienced the power of these tiny round beads firsthand, Mohan glanced at them and saw that there were over a hundred of them. He was immediately terrified and shouted, "Retreat! Don't try to take it head-on!"
Having said that, he put away the omnipotent bead, turned around, and fled for his life.
Among these people, Moham's status was clearly not low. Seeing how afraid he was, those people were not stupid and immediately withdrew and left.
Xiao Wenbing sneered. If he let them escape like this, wouldn't he lose face?
All that could be heard was a continuous whistling sound in the air; these thunderbolts seemed to have the ability to track themselves.
They followed closely behind the dozen or so people, looking determined not to give up until they achieved their goal.
Mohan inwardly groaned. Heaven knows where this man got so many terrifying magical artifacts. He had suffered from these little spheres before and knew that if he were hit by more than ten of them at the same time, he would be lying down immediately and could retire honorably.
Although they were all old men at the Tribulation Transcending stage, possessing profound inner strength and incredibly powerful protective spiritual energy, this thing was extremely strange. The protective shield, which was condensed with powerful spiritual energy, seemed to provide little defensive effect. Helpless, they had no choice but to flee in a sorry state with their large group.
Seeing them flee in panic, Xiao Wenbing burst into laughter, knowing that under the influence of the Bone-Attaching Talisman, it would be difficult for them to even stay safe, let alone continue pursuing him.
Turning his head, just as he was about to activate the small golden talisman, he suddenly heard Ronald ask from the side, "Master, why did you save me?"
Slightly taken aback, Ronaldo was supposed to be frozen in place by his own immobilization charm, so how could he still make a sound?
"Boom..." Loud explosions came from behind. From these sounds, Xiao Wenbing knew that all of the hundred-plus thunderbolts had been destroyed.
A powerful and rich spiritual energy gradually filled the entire space.
Xiao Wenbing's expression turned serious for the first time. He turned around and looked at the immortal in mid-air who was covered in raging flames, and his brows furrowed.
The teleportation array was destroyed, so where did this guy come from? Although immortals have the ability to teleport to a fixed point, he had tested it and found that the distance between the temple hall and the teleportation array to the Tree of Life was not an ordinary distance.
Frowning, Xiao Wenbing asked with extreme dissatisfaction, "Mirror God, didn't you say that they couldn't possibly catch up so quickly?"
"Yes, I scanned them. These people are only at the Integration Realm. Logically speaking, it's impossible for them to find the interstellar passage so quickly."
“But…” Xiao Wenbing’s gaze was fixed ahead, and through his gaze, Mirror God also began to observe: “Why did he chase after us?”
"Hmm, perhaps this person isn't an ordinary immortal, so you should be careful," the Mirror God said irresponsibly.
This is no ordinary immortal!
Xiao Wenbing carefully examined this immortal whom the Mirror God had described as extraordinary. Hmm, his entire body was enveloped in thick flames; he seemed to be composed of a ball of fire. And then there was that immortal shrouded in smoke...
These two are indeed extraordinary immortals.
With a sudden gust of wind, the demons who had just been chased by the thunderbolts were surrounded again. However, seeing that Quini had not made a move, they did not dare to attack first.
"Master, since you are determined to steal the Universe Ring, why did you save me?" Ronald slowly stood up beside him.
No need to ask, it must have been Queenie who lifted the immobilization spell for him, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to move an inch.
However, regarding this question, Xiao Wenbing gave a bitter smile, wanting to say that it was the remnant of the demon's avatar causing the trouble. But, before he could finish speaking, seeing the complex look in Ronald's eyes, he let out a long sigh for no reason and said, "Ronal, you want to ask me why you disregarded the survival of the Flame Realm and insisted on forcibly taking the Qiankun Ring, right?"
"Yes," Ronald replied emphatically.
Xiao Wenbing looked at him, seemingly having completely forgotten about the furious immortal above his head.
He said softly, "Because..."
Mohan and the others strained their ears, unable to comprehend Xiao Wenbing's actions. Even the most selfish and self-serving person from the Flame Realm wouldn't do such a thing. Didn't he know that if the Flame Realm were destroyed, he wouldn't be able to survive either?
“Because I am not a member of the Flame Realm.” Xiao Wenbing smiled coldly. He finally told the truth.
"What?" Ronald exclaimed in surprise. Mohan and the others exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of his meaning. Their eyes swept over Xiao Wenbing, but no matter how they looked at him, he was clearly a cultivator from the Flame Realm.
However, some people still noticed the flaws.
"You... are from the cultivation world?" A rumbling voice came from mid-air, and Quini finally spoke.
Xiao Wenbing smiled arrogantly, looked up, and faced off against him without yielding. After a moment, he finally said, "Your skill is truly remarkable. To repair the teleportation array so quickly is truly impressive..."
As the Mirror God has said, a celestial being can teleport between two planets without using a teleportation array.
Then this immortal must at least reach the level of creating an avatar.
The Quini in front of them was only at the Fusion Realm. He could manage to teleport to a fixed point within a planet, but crossing planets was far too difficult.
Therefore, the only way for Quini to catch up is to repair the teleportation array.
However, to Xiao Wenbing's surprise, Quini was able to complete the task so quickly; the methods of the Immortal Realm were indeed extraordinary.
Quini shook his head silently. He saw the question in Xiao Wenbing's eyes and sighed, "I didn't fix that teleportation array."
Xiao Wenbing's heart skipped a beat. If the teleportation array wasn't repaired, could it mean he could use point-to-point teleportation between planets? If that were the case, then there was no need to fight; he might as well just admit defeat.
"You may not know this, but there is another teleportation array on the back mountain of the temple, which also leads to the Tree of Life."
Queenie said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenbing was both amused and exasperated. All his scheming had turned out to be in vain. He hadn't expected them to have a backup teleportation array.
He glanced briefly at the barrier out of the corner of his eye, inwardly sighing that he had indeed been too overconfident. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have dawdled so much.
But at this point, regret is useless. Now that we've caught up, we have no choice but to prove ourselves.
"I see, I did miscalculate." Xiao Wenbing laughed and said, "Since you've come after me, senior, I have nothing more to say. Please make your move."
Quini looked at him for a long time before finally saying, "If you put down the Universe Ring, then I will spare your life."
"Um?"
Not only did Xiao Wenbing look at him with great confusion, but even Mohan and the others behind him looked incredulous.
"If I put down the Universe Ring, can I leave safely?" Xiao Wenbing thought it was unlikely, so he asked again.
“That’s right. As long as you put down the Qiankun Ring and refine thirty-six level-nine universal beads for me, I will guarantee your safety.”
Xiao Wenbing then realized that this guy had such an idea. Although he had only given him some fakes, it wouldn't be difficult for Quini to see through his true skill level.
"Thirty-six level-nine universal beads..." Xiao Wenbing drawled, then his expression suddenly tightened, and he sneered, "You, dream on..."
Quini stared coldly at him, his fiery red face unchanged by his disrespect. However, his voice was the complete opposite of his appearance, chillingly cold: "Since that's the case, I'll take your nascent soul and let you experience the agony of being burned by ten thousand fires. Then you can decide."
"Catch me?" Xiao Wenbing laughed heartily, his voice equally cold and piercing: "Then... come and try."
Quini paused, a disdainful sneer creeping onto his lips, and said, "You... want to fight me?"
"boom……"
A soft sound emanated from Xiao Wenbing's body, and a pale golden light appeared on his skin.
When facing this powerful figure from the celestial realm, the demon avatar no longer held back in using his divine power.

Volume 4, Chapter 307: Immortal Arts
------------------------
A powerful pressure gradually spread through the space. Quini's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. He stared intently at Xiao Wenbing's avatar and finally said fiercely, "You... are the Dark God."
Mohan and the others changed color at the same time. They knew exactly what the Dark God was; he was the culprit who led the entire Flame Realm to its destruction.
Although they hated the Dark God to the core, the thought of its combat power made everyone tremble.
Xiao Wenbing smiled coldly, the golden light around him gradually intensifying. He wasn't surprised by Quini's loss of composure. Within the body of his external avatar, the one truly in charge was the Dark Infant, whose aura was remarkably similar to that of the Dark God.
For those unaware of the existence of Dark Infants, it is understandable to confuse these two auras.
But now, Xiao Wenbing wouldn't offer any explanation. A disdainful smile crept onto his lips: "You want to fight me?"
The flames on Quini's body suddenly flared up fiercely. He had just been mocking Xiao Wenbing for overestimating his abilities, but now it was Xiao Wenbing's turn to laugh at him. It's true what they say, debts from June need to be repaid quickly...
With a wave of his hand, Quinni shouted, "You all need to leave now!"
Moham and the others twitched their lips, bowed to Quini, and flew one by one towards the heights of the holy mountain. Moham glanced at the dumbfounded Ronald, then waved his hand and took him away as well.
Although he and Xiao Wenbing were master and apprentice, everyone knew that Ronaldo would never betray the Temple.
Xiao Wenbing watched them leave without stopping them. Instead, he focused on gathering every last bit of energy within himself.
He dared not release his true form, instead continuing to fight while attached to the body of his avatar. Because his true form was only at the Nascent Soul stage, unless he used the power of his trump card, the Small Golden Talisman, he was indeed vulnerable in the eyes of the immortals.
This external avatar is different. It is a body tempered by divine power during the tribulation stage. Although its strength and energy are not as great as Quini's, it is not without the power to fight.
Seeing Mohammed and the others disappear into the distance, the two of them almost simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
Quini paused, then suddenly said, "You are not the Dark God."
Xiao Wenbing laughed and said, "You are the one who says I am the God of Darkness, and you are also the one who says I am not the God of Darkness. Whether I am or not, you might as well try it and you will know."
Queenie nodded and said, "Alright. I'll test just how much of a Dark God you really are..."
Xiao Wenbing was blunt, but he was already on high alert, knowing that the moment he said that, he would strike. So he took the initiative, slightly raising his hands, and hundreds of thunderbolts rained down on Quini without any apparent cause.
Quini was taken aback, not expecting Xiao Wenbing's seemingly high-sounding words. But before he could finish speaking, Xiao Wenbing launched a sneak attack. Seeing hundreds of points of light rushing towards him, he dared not be careless and immediately cast a spell to meet the attack.
He had seen these small spheres before; he was the one who helped Mohan and the others escape in a sorry state. However, back then, there were more than ten people, each with only about ten small spheres behind them. With their strength dispersed, they were easily defeated by him.
But it was precisely because of this that he realized the true power of these spheres. He understood that if there were only a dozen or so, he wouldn't have cared much, but if hundreds exploded together, even he would have to go through a lot of trouble.
In truth, while the explosive impact was powerful, he hadn't taken it seriously. However, the explosion was accompanied by a strange energy. This energy was the real killing force.
Not only him, but probably no one in this realm could withstand such a quantity of strange energy.
Xiao Wenbing looked at Quini strangely. Although his face changed constantly with the flickering flames, his feet remained firmly planted on the ground, showing no sign of moving.
Could it be that this person actually intends to take these hundreds of thunderbolts head-on? Xiao Wenbing frowned. Hundreds of thunderbolts! The divine power contained within them is definitely not a small amount. Unless it is at the level of a Dark God, who else can ignore it?
He wasn't afraid of Queenie escaping, because after the Mirror God's improvements, the Earth-Attaching Talisman wouldn't let Queenie escape even if he fled to the ends of the earth. But his calm demeanor made Xiao Wenbing's heart pound with anxiety.
Under Xiao Wenbing's watchful eye, the hundreds of thunderbolts struck Quini as intended. However, Xiao Wenbing's brow furrowed quickly; his fears had come true.
With a flash of light, Quini's body was suddenly forced back, and where he had stood, a raging humanoid fire appeared. The scorching flames and the thunderbolts collided, immediately causing a deafening explosion.
Xiao Wenbing's expression changed.
He retreated rapidly. The divine power that had been scattered everywhere after the explosion was indiscriminate, and even his avatar could not withstand it.
However, just as he was retreating, he saw another figure retreating into the distance at the same rapid speed.
He immediately understood; Queenie was unharmed as well. Before divinity, any illusion or deceptive trickery is utterly exposed. Therefore, he had seen Queenie's movements clearly.
