The crisis of Yellow Sand City's destruction was resolved, but the matter was far from over.

Sha Qian took control of Wanyan Shahe's body, manipulated the earth meridians to generate sand soil, and used the Endless Sand Realm to create a "wall," cutting off the Western Desert from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Since Sha Qian was not the conjurer of the Endless Sand Realm, he could only operate within the range of Wanyan Shahe's unfolded Endless Sand Realm.

This was slightly different from his plan, but it was not a significant issue. The range of Wanyan Shahe's Endless Sand Realm was broad enough to cut off most of the area bordering the Western Desert and Great Zhou.

Huff~ Huff~ The ground was breathing, the earth was pulsating. The guards, who had just finished the war and had not had the chance to celebrate, saw the ground in front of them continuously rising.

The crowd hurriedly fled to safety, and Zhang Yulin soared into the sky, witnessing the ground rising higher and higher over an extremely vast area, stretching to the horizon.

Rumble~ Rumble~ The earth quaked, the ground cracked open, and a brown earthen wall rose from the underground. The sand soil-formed earthen wall continuously absorbed Spiritual Qi from the earth meridians, quickly growing, becoming wider, higher, and harder.

"What is that thing?" Zhang Yulin looked at the "growing" wall with confusion.

...

Standing in front of the light sphere, Lu Yu had already received the task completion notification, knowing he had accomplished one task.

He silently awaited the next task completion alert, watching the consciousness of Wanyan Shahe flicker like a candle in the wind.

Helping Sha Qian occupy Wanyan Shahe's body was considered helping the Sand King Hall establish the Ten Thousand Miles Cliff Great Wall, but the final result still depended on the task completion notice.

Chu Tiange stood atop the earth meridian, observing the chaotic, impenetrable earth meridian. He felt slightly anxious, worried if Lu Yu could find the Earth Meridian Instrument and successfully activate it.

The Earth Meridian Instrument was the only treasure he could use to limit the power of the earth meridian.

At this moment, Chu Tiange also received good news: only his people were left in the City Lord's Mansion.

The Flame Demon had been severely injured and fled, whereabouts unknown. The original members of Gale Hall either died or escaped Black Sand City, and the sand envoys of the Sand King Hall vanished without a trace.

It seemed that now, no one could interfere with Chu Tiange's effort to convert the earth meridian into a dragon vein.

The brown earthen wall had already reached a height of a hundred meters, casting a large shadow over the outskirts of Yellow Sand City, even blocking sunlight from the city walls.

Crackling sounds erupted from within the earthen wall, its surface turning into incredibly sturdy Obsidian, which even Zhang Yulin's full-force strike could not leave the slightest mark on.

This was not ordinary Obsidian; it had been reinforced by Divine Power.

The height of the earthen wall continued to increase, though the growth rate slowed, it remained unusually stable and unaffected by anything.

Zhang Yulin had no idea how high this wall would eventually reach.

He had sent messages to those heading to Black Sand City, informing them of the strange "earthen wall" that had appeared outside Yellow Sand City.

[Task target 6 achieved, two tasks cumulatively completed, rewards doubled]

Lu Yu heard the task completion notification, and his heart trembled; he had finally reached this point.

Using the method given by Chu Tiange, he activated the Earth Meridian Instrument to continue transforming the earth meridian's work.

The Earth Meridian Instrument was surrounded by four small golden dragons, spinning rapidly within the earth meridian, emitting a unique pulse and converting this ownerless earth meridian into the dragon vein of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Once the Earth Meridian Instrument resumed working, Chu Tiange immediately sensed that special pulse, showing excitement on his face as the burden in his heart was finally lifted.

Now, it only waited for the Earth Meridian Instrument to completely convert the earth meridian, so he could sever the power emanating from the earth meridian and destroy the sand giant army created from its power.

Until now, Chu Tiange still didn't know that the sand giant army had already vanished.

"Special envoy, there's new information," Song Ming's voice came from above the cave entrance.

Chu Tiange glanced at the earth meridian and flew out of the cave, "What's happened?"

"The sand giant army disappeared, and a continually growing tall wall has appeared on the Western Desert border, currently over a hundred meters high with invincible strength. Not even Core Formation Realm experts can leave a trace on it," Song Ming briefly reported to Chu Tiange.

After speaking, he also handed a complete intelligence report to Chu Tiange.

Just as Chu Tiange was troubled by the newly emerged situation, with no way to address it.

Lu Yu was already employing the God of War Art, performing the Shocking God Stab, launching the final attack on Wanyan Shahe's remaining consciousness.

The invisible Shocking God Stab formed by Spiritual Power pierced through the residual consciousness hiding in Wanyan Shahe's head, and Wanyan Shahe's consciousness vanished.

As Wanyan Shahe's consciousness disappeared, Lu Yu seemed to have glimpsed Wanyan Shahe's tranquil face, indifferent to everything, even his own life.

Lu Yu couldn't help but ponder what motivated him to want to create the sand giant army to attack Great Zhou's cities.

With Wanyan Shahe's consciousness completely obliterated, Lu Yu's questions remain unanswered.

[Killed Wanyan Shahe's remaining consciousness, gained 630,000 experience points]

Receiving the notification for killing Wanyan Shahe, yet no task completion prompt appeared, Lu Yu glanced at the task to kill the earth meridian controller; the controller's name had changed, no longer Wanyan Shahe.

He noticed the crystal body within the light sphere, realizing it was the true earth meridian controller.
