Gonggong, having been stabbed in the forehead by Qin Yan and sustaining brain damage, was mentally disoriented and unable to continue fighting. He felt his body's strength continuously declining. Soon, he would revert from his giant transformation back to his original form, by which time he would be even less of a match for these people and might even die here. Thinking of this, Gonggong felt both pain and despair.

"No, even if I die, I cannot let these people have it easy!" Driven to desperation, Gonggong thought this and glared at Qin Yan and Zhen Jun in the distance with a hateful look, a sinister smile appearing on his face.

"Do you think you've won like this? You can't win against me, haha, you absolutely can't win against me, hahaha!"

Gonggong laughed wildly, then suddenly turned his head and flew towards the distance.

"What is he trying to do, trying to escape?" Seeing Gonggong flying away, Zhen Jun had a bad feeling. He looked in the direction Gonggong was flying and suddenly realized something, his face showing a look of panic, and he loudly said, "Not good, stop him!"

"Stop him? Weren't we supposed to bide our time and wait for his power to run out?" Qin Yan looked at Zhen Jun in confusion, not understanding his meaning.

"There's no time to explain now, hurry and chase after him." Seeing that Gonggong had already flown a considerable distance, Zhen Jun hurriedly chased in Gonggong's direction. Although Qin Yan didn't understand why Zhen Jun was so panicked, he still followed in pursuit.

"Why are we chasing him?!" While chasing Gonggong, Qin Yan shouted at Zhen Jun.

"Look over there." Zhen Jun, while flying at high speed, pointed towards a distant point ahead. Qin Yan looked in the direction Zhen Jun was pointing and saw a towering mountain reaching into the sky. This mountain was the same sacred mountain Zhen Jun had previously taken them to, and Gonggong's flight direction was towards this mountain.

"What's going on, why is he flying towards that mountain?" Qin Yan asked.

Zhen Jun anxiously said, "As I mentioned before, only through that mountain can you return to the human realm. Gonggong knows your goal is to go to the human realm. I'm worried he wants to destroy that mountain, preventing you from returning to the human realm!"

"Ah!?" Qin Yan was shocked, finally understanding the urgency of the situation, and immediately put all his effort into flying towards Gonggong.

However, in terms of flying speed, they were no match for the giant Gonggong. Not only did they fail to catch up with Gonggong, but the distance between them and Gonggong also grew further. Gonggong was getting closer and closer to the sacred mountain, and it wouldn't be long before he reached its location.

"It's over..." Zhen Jun's face showed a look of despair. The gigantic Gonggong flew straight towards the sacred mountain like a rocket, accelerating without slowing down, and then... Gonggong's huge head contacted the sacred mountain, colliding with the mountain's waist.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

With a tremendous earth-shattering noise, the sacred mountain shook violently, rocks flew, and fell from the mountain. Due to Gonggong's violent head-on collision, a huge hole appeared at the waist of the mountain, with cracks spreading rapidly across the mountain's surface.

Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the upper half of the sacred mountain tilted, as if the middle part of the mountain had broken.

"Hahaha, you're finished, you're finished!" Gonggong shouted crazily, pulling his head out of the huge hole in the sacred mountain. He looked at the damaged sacred mountain, then at Qin Yan and Zhen Jun flying towards the mountain, turned his head, and flew away from the sacred mountain, seemingly trying to escape the area.

As he fled from the sacred mountain, Gonggong's body emitted green smoke, his body gradually turning to dust like flowing sand, blown away by the wind. His size slowly shrank, indicating his power was exhausted, and it wouldn't be long before he reverted to his original form.

"That Gonggong looks like he's about to fail, we have to chase him!" Qin Yan, watching Gonggong escape into the distance, hurriedly said.

"There's no need for that now, it's already too late..." Zhen Jun said, his voice extremely somber and low. Qin Yan sensed something was wrong, stopped flying, and turned to look at Zhen Jun.

Zhen Jun hovered motionless in mid-air, his expression grave as he looked up at the sky above the sacred mountain. Qin Yan also looked up towards the sky—

The sky, which was previously blue, had turned red at some point. Although there were no dark clouds, lightning continuously burst forth, emitting thunderous sounds. In addition, orange-yellow fire meteors began to fall from the sky near the sacred mountain, igniting the ground upon impact.

"What's happening? Why is this happening?" Seeing the phenomena in the sky above the sacred mountain, Qin Yan was astonished.

Zhen Jun's expression darkened as he said, "The sacred mountain is a peak connecting heaven and earth, a channel for energy transmission between the sky and the ground. Once damaged, it will have a significant impact on the world's energy operation. Judging by the current situation, I estimate that damage has occurred in the sky near the sacred mountain, causing a large amount of energy to leak from the breach in the sky, resulting in this phenomenon."

"Can the sky also be damaged?" Qin Yan was somewhat incredulous at Zhen Jun's words, but he couldn't disbelieve it, as fire meteors continued to fall from the sky near the sacred mountain, igniting the ground.

Due to the change in the situation, Qin Yan and Zhen Jun did not pursue the fleeing Gonggong but instead found the others and regrouped.

When Lin Shi Qi and the others learned that the sacred mountain had been damaged by Gonggong, preventing them from returning to the human realm, they were both frightened and shocked.

As time passed, the thunder and lightning in the sky near the sacred mountain grew louder, and more fire meteors fell from the sky, hitting the ground and setting the grasslands ablaze.

The fire spread rapidly, burning everything it encountered. Various wild animals on the grasslands were injured by the fire meteors and the blaze, immediately fleeing in panic.

Seeing the state of the grasslands and the sky, Zhen Jun spoke with a heavy tone, "I never thought Gonggong, in order to prevent you from going to the human realm, would do such a thing. Now the situation is getting worse. If left unchecked, the breach in the sky will continue to expand, and more energy will leak from the sky. This disaster will spread throughout the heavenly realm, and the entire heavenly realm will face a massive disaster."

Lin Shi Qi timidly said, "Does that mean we can only watch from here? Can't we do something, like trying to repair the sacred mountain and the damaged part of the sky?"

Zhen Jun shook his head and said, "No, with our abilities, we can't do it, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless the true owner of this mountain appears!"
