"If this is all you have then you cannot stop me."
Lin Yan's voice was cold and domineering, his expression completely unyielding. During the clash, he had already seen through the core of these two Earth Path killer moves.
"Mountain Rest Killer Move" was centered on trapping and defense, while "Rabble" mixed in Enslavement Path methods, relying on sheer numbers to overwhelm opponents. But formations like this always had the same weakness—once a single point collapsed, the entire balance would begin to fail.
Sun Cu's expression gradually turned solemn. Sitting atop the central sand dune, he continuously mobilized the rocky hills and earth beasts through his thoughts. Layer after layer surged forward, trying to halt Lin Yan's advance.
Beside him, Sun Yue's cherry lips parted slightly in shock as she watched the battle unfold.
Ordinary Rank 5 Gu Masters usually relied directly on Rank 5 Gu. Once their methods were exposed, they became easy to understand and easier to counter. The Rank 5 experts who had died earlier mostly belonged to this category.
But some people could go a step further.
Using Rank 5 Gu as the core, they built complete killer moves around them, weaving multiple Gu together to multiply their strength several times over. Compared to ordinary methods, such killer moves were far more difficult to restrain or break.
Only by reaching this level could a mortal barely begin to contend against Heavenly Tribulations and Earthly Calamities.
This was because even most Rank 6 Gu Immortals mainly fought using mortal killer moves. The difference lay in their foundation. With infinite primeval essence supporting them, Rank 6 Gu Immortals could forcibly fuse dozens, even hundreds, of Gu worms into a single killer move, unleashing power far beyond the limits of mortal Gu masters.
Seeing that Lin Yan was about to charge straight toward him, a cold light flashed through Sun Cu's eyes. He activated two killer moves in succession and shouted coldly, "Arrogant!"
Killer Move: Native to the Soil!
Killer Move: Accumulating Earth into a Mountain!
In an instant, thick yellow mist spread across the entire rocky battlefield.
Lin Yan immediately sensed the changes within the formation. One of the crimson giant arms behind him thrust forward, its platinum spear stretching over ten meters long as it pierced through several giant dogs in a single strike.
But this time, the earth beasts did not collapse into loose sand like before.
Only a few breaths later, the scattered sand and broken stone began gathering together again, rapidly reforming into giant dogs before throwing themselves back into battle.
In an instant, the pressure around Lin Yan rose sharply. The entire rabble army became far more resilient, their bodies constantly recovering even after being shattered apart.
"Native to the Soil… what a powerful healing killer move."
He sighed softly. Lin Yan could clearly sense that the earth beneath the battlefield contained a strange power, constantly feeding vitality into the army above. This healing killer move was obviously not limited to summoned creatures alone. If it were used directly on a Gu Master, the effect would likely become even more terrifying.
From this alone, it was clear that Sun Cu's true strength was far from ordinary. Lin Yan continued fighting fiercely, but his advance gradually began to slow. Soon, he noticed another troublesome change.
The shattered remains of the earth beasts did not vanish. Instead, the scattered sand and broken stone continuously drifted toward the surrounding rocky hills, gathering layer by layer.
As the battle dragged on, the hills grew larger and heavier, their oppressive force becoming stronger and stronger.
"So this is Accumulating Earth into a Mountain… the longer the battle lasts, the stronger it becomes."
Only now did Lin Yan truly experience the terror of someone standing at the peak of the mortal world. Sun Cu not only possessed multiple killer moves, but had linked all four of them together flawlessly, each one reinforcing the others.
Yet instead of fear, Lin Yan's battle intent surged even higher.
In the next moment, he activated another completely new killer move.
On the rocky desert battlefield, the hills rumbled continuously as they moved and pressed forward from all directions, coordinating with the rabble army. Their momentum surged like a tidal wave, overwhelming everything in their path.
At the very center of the battlefield stood the Nine Feet Divine Fire Yama.
Then, a magnificent golden sun appeared behind Lin Yan. It radiated scorching light as it slowly rose into the sky, blazing brighter and brighter.
Killer Move: Blazing Sun, Prairie Fire!
Lin Yan decisively activated another Rank 5 Flame Path Gu—the Great Sun Clear Sky Gu.
After nearly three months of deduction, he had finally integrated this Gu into his killer move, perfectly linking it together with Blazing Fury Gu and Sparks Gu.
