The moment Master Yun charged forward, a glint of ferocity flashed in Tian Qi’s eyes. The next instant, he rushed straight at Master Yun.
*Boom!*
A deafening explosion echoed through the heavens. Master Yun and Tian Qi both staggered back simultaneously!
Their retreat spanned tens of thousands of feet!
When Master Yun stopped, he looked at Tian Qi with a trace of solemnity in his eyes, shocked by the terrifying physical strength of the youth before him!
Nearby, Venerable Lan suddenly said, “He’s a beast, be careful!”
Master Yun nodded slightly, then vanished from his spot.
*Rip!*
The space-time in the arena suddenly tore apart!
In the distance, a savage gleam flickered in Tian Qi’s eyes. He clenched his right fist tightly and unleashed a devastating punch!
*Boom!*
With a thunderous roar, the heavens and earth shattered!
This time, Tian Qi was forced back nearly a hundred thousand feet. As he stopped, the space-time behind him, spanning ten thousand feet, collapsed.
In the distance, Master Yun looked at Tian Qi calmly, “Again!”
With that, he charged toward Tian Qi!
Tian Qi clenched his right fist again, soared into the sky, and collided head-on with Master Yun!
A direct clash!
On the other side, Dao Ling glanced at Venerable Lan and Lord Jie, then said, “Brother Tian, who do you pick?”
Shi Tian immediately pointed at Lord Jie in the distance.
Dao Ling’s expression froze.
Anyone could see that Venerable Lan was the more terrifying one!
Shi Tian glanced at Ye Xuan, still sitting quietly in the distance, and said, “Lord Jie’s gaze has been fixed on Brother Ye. He clearly wants to kill him. Be cautious!”
Dao Ling nodded, looking up at Venerable Lan in the sky, “Do you want to fight me? If not, you can fight my Brother Tian!”
Shi Tian: “…”
Venerable Lan stared at Dao Ling, “I want to fight you!”
Dao Ling was puzzled, “Why?”
Venerable Lan’s expression was calm, “I dislike flashy people, so I want to beat you to death!”
With that, she vanished from her spot.
In the distance, Dao Ling’s pupils shrank. He clapped his hands together, and in an instant, a Myriad Forms Dharma Body, tens of thousands of feet tall, appeared behind him!
Facing the terrifying Venerable Lan, he didn’t dare to be the least bit careless or arrogant!
Dao Ling suddenly roared, “Come and die!”
As his voice fell, he slammed his right palm downward.
*Boom!*
Behind him, the massive Myriad Forms Dharma Body followed, slamming its palm down.
*Boom!*
Where the giant palm passed, space burned and annihilated!
Venerable Lan watched the palm descend, her expression calm. She flicked her sleeve.
*Boom!*
The giant palm shattered instantly. At the same time, Dao Ling was flung back over a hundred thousand feet, and his Myriad Forms Dharma Body behind him dissolved into nothingness!
Dao Ling was stunned!
Damn it!
He’d just transcended time, and he was already getting thrashed?
He looked at Venerable Lan in the distance. She said calmly, “Myriad Forms Dharma Body… Why are you still playing with such low-level stuff? Entrusting your power to a Dharma Body… What were you thinking?”
Dao Ling gave her a deep look, then turned to Shi Tian. Shi Tian’s eyelids twitched, “Don’t look at me! I’m fighting Lord Jie!”
With that, he charged toward Lord Jie.
Dao Ling’s expression froze.
Seeing Shi Tian rush over, Lord Jie’s face was expressionless, but his gaze was chillingly cold!
In truth, he hadn’t been much weaker than Venerable Lan or Master Yun before. His current weakness stemmed from Qin Guan destroying his Myriad Tribulations Body…
Thinking of this, he felt a pang of heartache!
The Myriad Tribulations Body!
It had taken him tens of thousands of years to cultivate, only for that woman to obliterate it!
Even now, thinking of her made his scalp tingle!
Without further thought, Lord Jie charged at Shi Tian. Instantly, countless tribulation thunders appeared around them.
Facing Lord Jie, Shi Tian didn’t dare to be the least bit careless!
As the battles raged, Dao Ling was the most miserable. Fighting Venerable Lan was like being pummelled!
At this moment, he had almost no ability to fight back, only taking blows!
Tian Qi was also being suppressed by Master Yun. Though his physical strength was terrifying, his combat style was too simplistic, putting him at a disadvantage against a powerhouse like Master Yun. Still, Master Yun couldn’t easily defeat Tian Qi, whose physical resilience, bolstered by the Tai Gu clan’s ancient divine armour, was simply too formidable!
Shi Tian, fighting Lord Jie, was also suppressed. Having just transcended time, he couldn’t yet match a powerhouse like Lord Jie!
But Dao Ling was the most pitiful!
He was practically being battered!
In the distant hall, the Tai Gu Sacred Tree said softly, “They’re still no match for Venerable Lan and the others!”
Tai Gu Yuan remained silent.
The Tai Gu Sacred Tree said gravely, “At most a quarter of an hour, and Dao Ling will be killed by Venerable Lan. Once he falls, Shi Tian and Tian Qi won’t survive either!”
Tai Gu Yuan looked at Ye Xuan, still sitting quietly in the distance, lost in thought.
The Tai Gu Sacred Tree shook its head, “Even if Ye Xuan breaks through now, it’s meaningless. Even together, the four of them are no match for Venerable Lan and her group!”
After a moment’s silence, Tai Gu Yuan said softly, “It’s up to their own fate now!”
The Tai Gu Sacred Tree said gravely, “Are we really not helping?”
Tai Gu Yuan gave a bitter smile, “With what? If we act, it means war with Xianling. In our current state, how can we resist them?”
The Tai Gu Sacred Tree sighed softly.
The Tai Gu clan, as it stood, had no capital to oppose Xianling!
At that moment, Tai Gu Yuan looked up at the distant sky, saying softly, “It might be over soon!”
*Boom!*
In the distant starry sky, an explosion erupted. The next moment, a figure was flung back wildly!
It was Dao Ling!
He was thrown back over a hundred thousand feet!
When he stopped, blood trickled from his mouth.
In the distance, Venerable Lan looked at him calmly, “You’re not much!”
Dao Ling wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at Venerable Lan. He slowly closed his eyes, spreading his hands. The next moment, a divine stone appeared between his brows!
The Tai Gu Divine Stone!
Suddenly, the space-time around Dao Ling trembled.
He slowly clenched his right fist. The next moment, he soared into the air. In an instant, the starry sky boiled. With the aid of the Tai Gu Divine Stone, a Myriad Forms Dharma Body, hundreds of thousands of feet tall, appeared behind him!
As it emerged, a terrifying pressure swept across the starry sky. The next moment, the space within millions of miles trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck, utterly astonishing!
In the distance, Venerable Lan looked at Dao Ling calmly, “The source of power comes from within, not from external…”
Dao Ling suddenly turned to Ye Xuan below, trembling, “Brother Ye, how much longer do you need? Give me a straight answer!”
Ye Xuan remained silent.
Dao Ling’s expression froze. Without saying more, he leaped up, merging with the Myriad Forms Dharma Body behind him!
*Boom!*
In an instant, the Dharma Body shuddered, and a terrifying aura locked onto Venerable Lan!
Her brows furrowed slightly. For the first time, she felt a hint of danger.
She stared at Dao Ling, “You’re overdrawing yourself!”
In the starry sky, Dao Ling took a deep breath. He was indeed pushing himself beyond his limits—he had no choice!
Without doing so, he was no match for Venerable Lan!
He had to buy time for Ye Xuan!
Snapping out of his thoughts, Dao Ling looked at Venerable Lan, a savage glint in his eyes. The next moment, he vanished from his spot.
*Boom!*
The massive Myriad Forms Dharma Body, hundreds of thousands of feet tall, swept through the starry sky, charging at Venerable Lan!
Its immense power seemed to crush the universe itself, utterly terrifying!
In the distance, Venerable Lan’s eyes narrowed. She suddenly spread her right hand and gently swept it upward.
*Rip!*
Space-time tore apart, and a black light surged into the sky, meeting the Myriad Forms Dharma Body!
*Boom!*
In an instant, the black light was annihilated. The massive Dharma Body shuddered, then exploded, unleashing a terrifying force across the arena.
*Boom!*
Venerable Lan was forced back thousands of feet, while Dao Ling was flung hundreds of thousands of feet away. As he stopped, he spat several mouthfuls of vital blood, his entire being extremely frail.
In the distance, Venerable Lan glanced at him, a trace of solemnity in her eyes.
She had to admit, this person was truly prodigious!
Normally, he’d have no chance of challenging her across realms. She, Venerable Lan, had been a prodigy herself, crossing realms like it was nothing. For others to challenge her? Incredibly difficult!
Yet Dao Ling could hold his own against her!
In the distance, Dao Ling wiped the blood from his mouth, grinning, “One more time!”
As his voice fell, he leaped again. In the starry sky, he clapped his hands together. Instantly, hundreds of illusory figures appeared behind him, and as he slammed his palm down, dozens of figures struck in unison.
In the distance, Venerable Lan’s face was expressionless. She flicked her sleeve, and the entire starry sky seemed to overturn.
*Boom!*
In an instant, a terrifying force swept through the stars. Dao Ling was blasted hundreds of thousands of feet away. As he stopped, his physical body shattered and disintegrated, and his soul became extremely faint!
That blow had nearly obliterated his body and soul!
Dao Ling glanced at the distance, where Tian Qi and Shi Tian were both being overwhelmed!
He looked at Ye Xuan, still sitting quietly, and said softly, “Brother Ye, if you don’t wake up soon, we’ll have to be brothers in the next life!”
In the distance, Venerable Lan’s face was expressionless, “Even if he wakes now, what can he do?”
As she spoke, her right hand slowly clenched, and a terrifying force gathered within it.
Dao Ling took a deep breath, saying softly, “Brother Ye… tell me honestly, are you already awake?”
Ye Xuan didn’t respond.
Dao Ling’s voice trembled, “Brother Ye, stop joking! Get up quick! If you don’t, we’re done for!”
Ye Xuan still didn’t respond.
Dao Ling was about to say more when Ye Xuan suddenly stood. Seeing this, Dao Ling was overjoyed, “Brother Ye?”
Ye Xuan glanced at the sky, saying softly, “I understand!”
With that, he turned and left.
Dao Ling was stunned, then said, “Brother Ye, where are you going?”
Without turning back, Ye Xuan said, “I’m going to cultivate in seclusion for a bit. Brother Dao Ling, hold them off for three more days. I’ll come back for you then!”
With that, he vanished.
Dao Ling’s face turned pale, “Three days? You’ll be collecting my corpse by then…”
