The rampant laughter of the Daoist Monarch Black Soul echoed at this moment. To prevent the former from escaping, he even activated the small tower again, unleashing a boundless black mist that poured continuously into the black evil torrent, intending to trap Lu Chong to his death inside!

Beside him, Lord Heavenly Phoenix noticed this, a sinister and bloodthirsty glint emerging on his soft face. Licking the corner of his mouth with a crimson tongue, he laughed harshly:

"What former First True Inheritor of the True Martial Sect? In my view, it's nothing much!"

"Daoist Monarch Black Soul, I shall lend you a hand. Today, he will fall completely here, delivering a grand gift to the True Martial Sect!"

With that, Lord Heavenly Phoenix suddenly swung his robe sleeve, and the divine and powerful phoenix shadow behind him erupted with a profound aura. Among the screeching cries, its wings flapped simultaneously, and countless golden feathers, formed by Primordial Power, surged forward like a furious storm!

"Boom!"

Under the relentless assault of the black evil torrent and the Heavenly Phoenix Golden Feathers, Lu Chong, hidden under the protection of the Power of Great Dao, repeatedly retreated, unable to resist. It wasn't until a crack appeared on the protective barrier that his gaze turned completely grave!

The sky was filled with black mist, and the golden feathers poured down like a waterfall.

Under such a terrifying and unparalleled offensive, the shield formed by the Power of Great Dao around Lu Chong trembled incessantly, constantly developing long cracks. Threads of chilling evil qi seeped through the dense gaps, eroding the Primordial Power surging on his body, boring chaotic holes, and crazily burrowing into his body through every pore.

Every strand of evil qi entering his body caused Lu Chong to shudder all over, muffled groans emerging from his throat. Cold sweat continuously beaded on his forehead, his complexion becoming increasingly pale, until no trace of blood was left.

Yet, even so, his figure stood unwavering, steadfastly gritting his teeth and enduring.

Only in his left palm did glints of spirit light appear, enveloping that Communication Jade Token, ready to activate it at any moment.

Simultaneously, his deep gaze continuously scanned his surroundings, seeking a flaw to break through the encirclement.

Seeing him still displaying such resilience at this moment, Daoist Monarch Black Soul and Lord Heavenly Phoenix couldn't help but show subtle changes in their sinister eyes.

"This person possesses such tenacity of will, indeed unexpected. It seems what the Sect Master once said is true; Zong Qingtian of the Dao Yi Sect and Lu Dayuan of the True Martial Sect may both become grave threats to our sect in the future."

"And then, there's that Jiang Shujiang Taixuan who has suddenly risen over the years, even killing the Demon Race's Lord Heavenly Dragon. He is not to be underestimated either."

"Fortunately, Daoist Monarch of Great Disaster has gone to hunt down Zong Yue and is sure to return victorious. As for Jiang Taixuan, his whereabouts are currently unknown, but as long as we capture these True Martial Sect true inheritors, we have no worries about drawing him out. And as for this Lu Chong, he is already at the end of his rope; we must not carelessly let him escape!"

"No matter what, these individuals must be completely eradicated within these ruins, or else, if allowed to continue growing, our sect might face annihilation at their hands in the future." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Long white eyebrows were tightly knitted, tangled in a knot. Thoughts flickered in the mind of Daoist Monarch Black Soul, and upon reaching this conclusion, the killing intent in his eyes surged dramatically, as if he had made a certain determination.

A withered, thin hand reached out from his sleeve, quickly forming a mysterious seal, while Daoist Monarch Black Soul muttered a couple of incantations, then bit the tip of his tongue, forcing out a thread of Origin Blood, which he directly sprayed onto the enormous Demon Tower!

"Sizzle!"

Under the blessing of the pure Power of Great Dao contained within the Essence Blood, the pitch-black Demon Tower violently shook, and the chilling aura slowly ascended once again, causing the surging black evil torrent to gain several increments in power!

In the midst of this maelstrom, the lustrous light of the successive Primordial Power shields outside Lu Chong was thoroughly suppressed, emitting sounds of unbearable strain.

Finally, as the cracks on it continued to expand, it shattered with a 'boom'!

The black evil torrent, resembling a mighty mountain, heavily struck Lu Chong. The Primordial Power around him collapsed, blood spurted from his mouth, and he was sent flying, unable to maintain his stance, plummeting from the sky!

"Senior Brother Lu!"

"Daoist Monarch Dayuan!"

Witnessing this scene, the True Martial Sect's true inheritors and elders simultaneously cried out in shock, quickly splitting into two to soar into the air, attempting to catch Lu Chong.

However, just as they attempted to move, Lord Heavenly Phoenix glanced coldly over, a sneer playing on his soft face as he raised his hand and pressed down hard!

"Hmph! There's no room for you useless ones to act here, stay quiet for me!"

Amidst the disdainful cold snort, the phoenix shadow inclined its head, casting down two extremely cold glances. With a gentle wave of its wings, an endless, fierce Gang Wind was spawned!

The Gang Wind, carrying Space Turbulence, arrived in an instant. Before the true inheritors and elders could react, it had already broken through their outer Primordial Power barrier, heavily striking their chests!

"Boom! Boom!"

Two dull crashing sounds echoed as the True Martial Sect's true inheritors and elders were struck as if by lightning, their figures thrown backward, their bodies torn open by the fierce Gang Wind at many points, blood spurting forth!

Collapsed on the ground, their chests heaving slightly, they struggled but could not manage to rise. With just a casual strike, Lord Heavenly Phoenix had plunged them both into critical injuries!

And with no aid from his fellow sect members, Lu Chong could not control his stiff body either, plummeting from the clouds and slamming into the ground, creating a deep crater and sending up large plumes of dust!

"Cough, cough, cough."

From within the dust clouds, harsh coughing sounds emerged. Lu Chong staggered to his feet, his neatly arranged long hair now disheveled, two somber beams of light visible through the half-covered strands, with a defeated look showing on his face.
