"Lu Chong, since you're so stubborn and ungrateful of Lord Phoenix's kindness, I shall send you on your way now!"

"None of you from True Martial Sect will escape today. I will capture every one of them, take them back to the sect, and refine their divine souls day and night. Let the people of Cang Mang Domain see the miserable fate awaiting those who dare oppose our Demon Sect!"

The moment the words were spoken, Daoist Monarch Black Soul's eyes sharpened, and the small tower in his right hand shook violently. Thick black fog churned and gathered rapidly, transforming into sharp arrows filled with evil qi!

The arrows shot out madly, accompanied by the wails of countless yin souls, filling the air with chilling sorrow that caused one's skin to crawl and heart to tremble.

Simultaneously, Lord Heavenly Phoenix launched an attack. The thousand-zhang phantom of a Heavenly Phoenix behind him flapped its wings, unleashing fierce gang winds which shattered space, striking towards Lu Chong!

Facing the combined powerful assault of the two, Lu Chong had no intention of retreating. The comrades of True Martial Sect were severely injured; if he failed, they would meet a tragic end today. Regardless of the opponent's strength, he could not retreat even half a step!

He stepped out, the primordial power in his palm reaching its pinnacle, and swung his hand forward fiercely!

The power of the Great Dao and vast primordial power converged, forming a surging torrent, directly meeting the oncoming yin soul arrows and the hanging wings!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With the confrontation, thunderous explosions echoed, and waves of violent power swept in all directions like a storm! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

However, in just a few breaths, the injured Lu Chong was gradually pushed into a disadvantage. The primordial power he unleashed clashed fiercely with the yin soul arrows but was continuously driven back by Lord Heavenly Phoenix's brutal attack.

Facing the joint attack of two Daoist Monarchs of Vientiane Realm at the same level, he struggled to hold on, despite exerting his full strength.

Moreover, his internal injuries posed a significant constraint on him.

"Cough, cough."

In the stalemate, Lu Chong's arms trembled slightly, an abnormal flush of green and red surfaced on his face, and blood trickled from the corners of his mouth with two slight coughs.

Seeing this, Daoist Monarch Black Soul widened his eyes, a trace of cruelty curling at his lips:

"As expected, Lu Chong, your injuries are worse than I imagined. Besides, you just advanced to Vientiane Realm; your foundation is unstable. How could you still maintain peak condition after repeated battles with us?"

"Though I admit that I'm not your match in full strength, with your current state, what can you possibly use to fight me?"

Endless ferocity appeared in his dark pupils, as Daoist Monarch Black Soul sealed with one hand, unleashing surging primordial power into the small tower in his right hand.

The continuous influx of primordial power caused the small tower to shine with intense black light, rapidly expanding into a thousand-zhang Demon Tower covered in profound runes!

A stench-filled black fog spread from the Demon Tower, enveloping Daoist Monarch Black Soul, its extreme aura of death sweeping through the heavens and earth!

This overwhelming black fog was unlike the earlier fog from the small tower. It was the strongest divine skill of Daoist Monarch Black Soul, fused with the Dark Dao, greatly enhancing its power.

An ordinary Peak True Monarch of Nirvana Realm trapped within would barely last a moment before the endless evil qi invaded their body, and their divine soul would be severely polluted and eroded. Rescued, they'd be left entirely crippled!

Even a Daoist Monarch of Vientiane Realm would suffer significant loss of power if the fog touched them, unable to rid themselves of its taint.

Compared to the True Martial Sect's balanced and harmonious cultivation technique, Demon Sect's divine skills were insidious and venomous, making them especially challenging to counter.

"Heh heh heh, once I kill you, this Daoist Monarch Dayuan, the Sect Master will undoubtedly favor me upon my return, and I'll boast to those old geezers about it, Lu Chong, meet your end!"

The sinister laughter echoed from the dense black fog, followed by ripples spreading from its center as a deep black torrent surged out!

Underneath, the vortex origin power roared in the gloomy sky, the black evil torrent ravaging to obscure the firmament entirely!

It was as if a mottled canvas was soaked with ink, black spots rapidly spreading until engulfing the entire tapestry.

In the canyon below, gazing upward at the ominous spectacle, the True Martial Sect's true inheritors stood frozen, hearts pounding in their chests, not daring to breathe.

"Damn it! That old ghost Black Soul is going all out!"

"No, I must aid Senior Brother Lu, if only to alleviate some of the pressure!"

Cries of alarm rang out, as one impulsive true inheritor even attempted to rush skyward to fight alongside Lu Chong.

But his step was halted by a nearby Elder gripping him tightly:

"Don't be rash! The disparity in power between us and the Daoist Monarchs of Vientiane Realm is too vast. Charging in recklessly would burden Daoist Monarch Dayuan, hindering him!"

At these words, the impulsive true inheritor froze, pulling back with eyes welling up in red fury, stifling a furious growl without uttering a word, plunging the Great Tomb into silence.

Anger and regret hung heavily in their eyes, suffusing the air.

They cursed their Nirvana Realm level, lamenting their burden on Lu Chong.

But for them, Lu Chong would not have been attacked, nor forced to face two foes now!

Daoist Monarch Black Soul's grasp of the Dark Dao and Lord Heavenly Phoenix's unmatched talent as a Demon Monarch with an advancing bloodline formed an overwhelming challenge for Daoist Monarch Dayuan.

Furrowed brows observed the skyward battle, eyes reflecting rapidly shifting thoughts.

Especially Luo Jun, who had failed to break through to Vientiane Realm, felt sheer frustration, clenching fists until nails pierced his palms, staining them red with blood.

"Damn it! Had I succeeded, how could Senior Brother Lu face this peril alone?"

Desperation swirled in their hearts, as they exchanged glances, their unwillingness evident, quietly channeling primordial power inside.

Faced with one final option to assist besieged Lu Chong—each would sacrifice life-force essence blood and the embryonic power of the Great Dao, forcibly elevating cultivation. Though incapable of resisting the Daoist Monarchs, it might offer Lu Chong a slim chance!

Yet doing so demanded their lives!

As they resolved, the vast black evil torrent up above surged mightily towards Lu Chong!

Reflecting in his eyes was an endless darkness; Lu Chong tensed to the limit, inhaling the icy air deeply, eyes flashing with madness.

Silently, a Communication Jade Token slipped into his left palm, as his head was enveloped by three erupting powers of the Great Dao, his right hand clenched heavily against the onrushing torrent!

With his motion, the tremendous power of the Great Dao wove and transformed, instantly forming several formidable primordial power barriers ahead.

In the next instant, the black evil torrent roared and engulfed Lu Chong's figure entirely!

Swish!

The extreme black evil primordial power pressed fiercely against the barriers around Lu Chong formed by the power of the Great Dao, fully unleashing with terrifying force, ensnaring Lu Chong in immense pressure as his entire being quaked.

"Ha ha ha, Lu Chong, I see no means of escape for you!"
