"That spear is the Ancient Divine Execution Spear, and it is on par with Jian Xieshen’s Ancient Slaughter Sword." Huang Lingzhu glanced at Xie Zuzhou. "Besides, that old devil’s avatar is different from his two avatars you faced in the past, so you can’t underestimate him."

Xie Zuzhou’s face darkened because Huang Lingzhu could recognize his current avatar at one glance. However, he wasn’t too surprised by that because he was the first immortal, and his experience had far surpassed his. "Hahaha! You are indeed worthy of being the strongest immortal!"

"The strongest immortal?" Huang Lingzhu’s lips curled up into a smile of disdain. "Your so-called immortals are nothing in my eyes. Anyways, I won’t interfere in the fight between the two of you, and Ling Yun is more than enough to defeat you."

"Heh!" Xie Zuzhou snorted in disdain. "Are you sure he can defeat me? He is indeed different from other cultivators because he is the sole heir of the Primordial Chaos Dragon, but the current me is completely different, and I hold the Ancient Divine Execution Spear."

Huang Lingzhu shrugged. "Even if you wield the Ancient Divine Execution Spear, you will never be able to unleash its full potential without your true body. Thus, your weapon is no different from a toy, and it is no match for Ling Yun’s Chaos Dragon Broadsword."

Ling Yun noticed the change in Xie Zuzhou’s expression, which meant Huang Lingzhu’s words were right on target. He wasn’t afraid of the old devil or the Ancient Divine Execution Spear in his hand, but he also didn’t dare to underestimate the old devil, and Huang Lingzhu’s words boosted his confidence.

Huang Lingzhu looked at Ling Yun and immediately went elsewhere, watching Huang Hao fight against Jian Xieshen.

Ling Yun, on the other hand, immediately moved in front of Xie Zuzhou. The broadsword and the spear quickly clashed with each other, causing a huge wind wave to sweep across the area around them.

"Hahaha!" Xie Zuzhou laughed and thrust his spear towards Ling Yun, but his attack only hit an illusion, which shocked him.

Although Xie Zuzhou was powerful, his speed was simply too inferior when compared to Ling Yun, who mastered the Nine Heaven Steps and the Void Steps. Besides, Ling Yun’s normal speed was already much faster than other cultivators, including those immortals.

Slash

Splurt

"Gah!" Xie Zuzhou flew away as soon as Ling Yun slashed his back; black blood flowed out from his back and soaked his clothes. "How is that possible?"

"Heh!" Ling Yun snorted and countless him appeared to surround Xie Zuzhou. He didn’t use any techniques, and he relied solely on his speed to move at breakneck speed, which produced many illusions. "Charge!"

Xie Zuzhou tensed up when he saw all of Ling Yun’s illusions move toward him, but he immediately used his techniques. In an instant, a ball of darkness appeared above his head; it expanded rapidly before releasing a powerful suction. "Hahaha!"

To Xie Zuzhou’s shock, there was no illusion of Ling Yun being sucked into the darkness ball.

Without moving a single finger, a giant light sword materialized above Ling Yun’s head. It swiftly shot towards the darkness ball, penetrating it before Xie Zhuzhou could even move.

Boom

The darkness ball instantly exploded, and the explosion even pushed Xie Zhuzhou quite far back from his original spot because the shockwave from the explosion was simply too strong.

"Fuck!" Xie Zuzhou cursed and stabilized himself, but Ling Yun didn’t give him a chance to breathe and attacked him with a flurry of attacks. No matter how high the old devil’s cultivation was, and no matter how strong the old devil’s protection was, everything was meaningless in front of the Chaos Element. "Gah!"

Within a few minutes, Xie Zuzhou’s appearance was in disarray, his entire body drenched in blood, and he was gasping for breath.

Ling Yun appeared a short distance in front of Xie Zuzhou. "As long as you don’t use your true body to fight me, you will never win against me. I don’t know what you’ve done to your avatar, but you’re still far weaker than me; even your ancient spear is useless."

’This brat looks down on me too much!’ Xie Zuzhou pressed his palms together in front of his chest, causing dozens of copies of himself to instantly appear and surround Ling Yun.

Even though Xie Zuzhou’s technique surrounded him, Ling Yun didn’t appear afraid at all; instead, he smiled faintly as a faint aura enveloped his body. However, his aura changed and turned jet black, albeit not as dark as his enemy’s, and a black dragon silhouette with blood-red eyes appeared behind him.

Seeing that, Xie Zuzhou felt goosebumps as he remembered his battle with Huang Hao many years ago in the upper realm. Back then, the female immortal beast used an almost similar technique, which caused him to suffer severe injuries.

As someone who had reached the peak of cultivation and lived for a very long time, Xie Zuzhou naturally had a lot of knowledge, and he also recognized the black dragon figure behind Ling Yun, which caused his body to tremble in horror. Unfortunately, he realized that it was too late for him to retreat, so he immediately activated the technique.

In that instant, Xie Zuzhou and his other avatars pointed their palms forward, and countless black rays shot toward Ling Yun at high speed.

"You never learn from past experiences, old senile one!" After Ling Yun made that remark, the black dragon figure behind him opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar, which was followed by countless black rays that immediately suppressed his enemies’ attacks.

"Hahaha!" Ling Yun raised an eyebrow as Xie Zuzhou laughed like a madman. The old devil raised the black spear in his hand, and it split into several spears before shooting towards the black dragon figure.

Feeling a bad premonition, Ling Yun quickly canceled his technique and flew away, causing Xie Zuzhou’s attack to hit empty air.

Xie Zuzhou smirked. "Seems like you noticed, huh? However, it’s too late, and you won’t be able to escape from me."

"Hah! You’ve gone senile!" Ling Yun took a stance while gripping the hilt of his broadsword with both hands. "From the start, I haven’t used my full strength, remember? I’ll show you the horror of the Primordial Chaos Dragon."

The smirk on Xie Zuzhou’s face disappeared, and he immediately activated all his defenses because Ling Yun’s words gave him a terrible feeling.

"Chaos Dragon Sealing Domain!" Xie Zuzhou was shocked once all his defenses disappeared, but Ling Yun didn’t stop there and swung his broadsword forward. "Chaos Dragon Extermination!"

"Fuck!" Xie Zuzhou grasped his black spear and tried to use his technique, but the effect of the Chaos Dragon Sealing Domain prevented him from doing so. He tried to escape, but Ling Yun’s attack was much faster than him, and it struck his body directly. "Gah!"

However, Ling Yun still held back his strength because the domain wouldn’t be able to withstand the effects of his technique if he used his full power, and his action would drag the people in the domain down along with Xie Zuzhou.

Xie Zuzhou’s already messy appearance became even messier; his jet-black hair was loose and shaved, and his body was increasingly covered in blood.

"As I said before, you will never win against me as long as you rely on your avatar. If you’re so eager to kill me, you should bring your true body out of your evil den, and we’ll have our final battle then." Ling Yun unleashed his strength. "I will show you the difference in our strength, Old Devil! Chaos Dragon World Devourer!"

Xie Zuzhou felt the temperature in the domain drop drastically, and a black vortex appeared far above him. He looked up and heard a loud dragon’s roar from inside the vortex. Not only him, but all the cultivators in the domain could also hear the dragon’s roar.

Xie Zuzhou and the residents of the domain held their breath as a giant black dragon head emerged from the vortex, its bloody red eyes shining brightly. A powerful aura quickly enveloped the entire domain and suppressed all the cultivators living there, forcing Huang Lingzhu and all the female immortals to protect the residents.

Fortunately, they had already defeated all the heretics, so they could focus on protecting the domain’s inhabitants.

Jian Xieshen, who had been badly beaten by Huang Hao, was completely desperate when he saw the black dragon emerge from the vortex. ’That kid’s strength is insane! From the start, we weren’t his opponents, and we fell into his trap without realizing it!’

"Have you realized it now?" Huang Hao asked disdainfully. "My master had already calculated everything from the start, and he waited for the two of you to arrive before making his move. In the past, Yuan Shijia managed to collect your soul fragments and bring you back to life, but you won’t have the chance next time, and you will die forever."

"Hahaha!" Jian Xieshen laughed loudly. "I’ve already died once, so I’m not afraid to face death anymore! If only I were more patient, I wouldn’t lose to you, and I would definitely kill you!"

"Unfortunately, it’s too late for you to regret it." Huang Hao moved, captured Jian Xieshen, and sealed his cultivation. "After my master is finished, you will only be left with a name."

"Hahaha!"

.

Slowly, the giant black dragon moved out from within the vortex, but it stopped after half of its body was outside. Its eyes stared at Ling Yun, who was also staring at it, waiting for his command to attack.

Seeing the giant black dragon, Xie Zuzhou broke out in a cold sweat and felt a deep sense of dread well up in his heart. He finally realized that he would never be able to defeat Ling Yun using only his avatar. "What are you waiting for?"

"See you in the future, Xie Zuzhou."
