"Puchi!"

The great array was forcibly breached, and two Elders of True Martial Sect immediately suffered severe backlash, spewing blood from their mouths as their bodies trembled violently, their vitality suddenly waning.

But, just as an uncontrollable smile began to creep onto the faces of Lord Heavenly Phoenix and Daoist Monarch Black Soul, a chilling aura of killing intent suddenly surged from deep within the great array, locking onto them from afar!

A streak of light abruptly shot out, with the power of the Great Dao gathering into two overwhelmingly fierce fist lights, blasting straight towards the two of them!

The attacker was none other than Lu Chong!

The fist lights swept across the vast sky at extraordinary speed, catching Daoist Monarch Black Soul off guard, as the fierce assault confronted him head-on!

The wrinkles on his aged face twitched violently; faced with Lu Chong's desperate offensive, Daoist Monarch Black Soul dared not underestimate it in the slightest, hurriedly activating the Small Tower behind him to block it.

Meanwhile, Lord Heavenly Phoenix displayed a stern expression, and with a thought, the Heavenly Phoenix shadow behind him began to oscillate intensely, its drooping wings enveloping him entirely.

In the next moment, the overwhelming fist lights descended abruptly.

Bang!

The power of the Great Dao crashed heavily onto the exquisite Small Tower, instantly dissipating most of the black mist emanating from it, causing Daoist Monarch Black Soul to uncontrollably retreat straight backwards!

As he steadied himself once again, his face turned utterly grim, grinding his teeth as he let out a low roar filled with killing intent:

"What a Daoist Monarch Dayuan!"

Under the cautious gaze of the Demon Sect and Demon Clan, a tall figure in green attire emerged slowly from within the shattered Guardian Array beneath, stepping into the void.

His eyes, bright as cold stars, surged with spirit light, and the imposing pressure of the Vientiane Realm was unleashed without reservation, sweeping across the heavens.

The space thundered, winds whipped around fiercely, and facing this overwhelming aura, the True Inheritor of Demon Sect and Demon Clan Commander felt tremendous pressure, their breaths involuntarily hitching, their expressions quickly changing.

Lu Chong's firm gaze straightly landed on the figures of Lord Heavenly Phoenix and Daoist Monarch Black Soul not far away, with palpable battle intent emanating from his body, remotely locking onto them, as thunderous offensives gradually formed within his slightly curled palms.

Witnessing his posture at this moment, the eyes of the Demon Sect and Demon Clan darkened, and within their mutual glances, none dared to rashly provoke or agitate him with words.

They could discern that the True Martial Sect was now at an absolute disadvantage, and it was evident Lu Chong was ready to fight to the death.

Exactly what astonishing battle power a Daoist Monarch of Vientiane Realm might wield during a desperate struggle was unknown to them, but what was certain was that confronting him rashly with only Nirvana Realm Peak power would likely result in being slain on the spot, completely perished.

Hence, naturally, none dared to touch Lu Chong's bad luck, inviting disaster upon themselves.

Even Lord Heavenly Phoenix, who shared the Vientiane Realm status with him, and Daoist Monarch Black Soul were equally cautious, their expressions turning solemn.

After all, in single combat, they weren't Lu Chong's match to begin with. It was only through the advantage of unexpected sneak attacks that they had injured Lu Chong and gained the upper hand.

Directly ahead, under the impact of Lu Chong's imposing aura, Daoist Monarch Black Soul retreated over ten steps before barely stabilizing himself. When he raised his eyes towards Lu Chong again, his murky pupils flashed with a cold light, his deeply creased old face twisting with ferocity.

Meanwhile, the smug smile that initially hung on Lord Heavenly Phoenix's face slowly faded, replaced with a somber hue.

"Lu Chong, you're injured, and not our match. If you continue resisting stubbornly, you will surely die!"

"This is your last chance from us. Consider it well; if you choose to serve our Demon Race, you will have your place in the future Cang Mang Domain. After all, we still need humans like you to manage matters in this domain."

For reasons unknown, amidst the tense standoff, Lord Heavenly Phoenix's eyes flickered slightly, unexpectedly offering Lu Chong a significant promise.

Bear in mind, the number of demons in the Outer Realm Demon Clan is extraordinarily vast, with Transformed Realm Great Demons as common as fish crossing a river.

But among them, only a select few with the noblest bloodlines and peerless talent are recognized as Lords by the Demon Race.

This position signifies not only status but also guarantees substantial nurturing within the clan, heralding a boundless future, as evident with Lord Heavenly Phoenix and the already deceased Lord Heavenly Dragon at Jiang Shu's hands.

In usual powers within Cang Mang Domain, the quantity of Nirvana Realm Peak true inheritors among the peers is extremely sparse, being groomed as successors.

Only within the Eight Great Sects, where talents abound, are there slightly more of them.

In essence, a Lord within the Demon Race equates to the rank of First True Inheritor within a sect, with even greater power potentially.

Now, having ascended to Demon Monarch Realm, his standing in the Demon Race has risen even higher.

The offered condition is undoubtedly sincere compared to Daoist Monarch Black Soul's previous proposition.

But, Lu Chong's resolve has always been as firm as iron, not swayed by mere words.

Upon hearing this, he remained unmoved, unequivocally refusing:

"Which is nothing but wishful thinking."

Having received his resolute answer, Lord Heavenly Phoenix's eyes completely sank.

Beside him, Daoist Monarch Black Soul sneered coldly, speaking harshly:
