However, the experts on the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's side looked flustered when they saw what was happening behind the scenes.

After all, with three more Dou Zong suddenly appearing, there was no way they could handle that many.

Soon, all eyes turned toward Lin Feng, who hovered alone in the sky.

At that moment, a trace of surprise flashed across Lin Feng's eyes.

Gazing at the terrifying aura that was even stronger than Xie Bi Yan after he had used the Blood Soul Art, Lin Feng murmured inwardly: "Looks like after capturing Yao Chen, this Protector Xuan gained quite a bit."

At the same time, he lightly flicked the pure white storage ring on his finger and said: "Elder Yao, time to go to work. You take care of those two early-stage Dou Zongs. That Protector Xuan... I'll handle him."

"No problem."

Just as the elderly voice fell, a phantom-like figure slowly floated out from the ring.

Under the astonished gazes of the surrounding experts, the Tian Huo Zun Zhe appeared for the first time in front of the various forces in the Black-Corner Region.

"Sigh... with you guys stirring up so much trouble, this old man has no choice but to come out and stretch a bit," he said casually.

Sweeping his gaze over the stunned crowd below, the Tian Huo Zun Zhe let out a small grin.

In the next instant, a soul pressure equivalent to a Five-Star Dou Zong exploded from his body and swept out in all directions.

"A Dou Zong expert!"

Sensing the oppression that struck them deep in their souls, the surrounding experts' expressions dramatically changed.

And some Heavenly Treasure Pavilion members, who had no idea of this soul's existence, were instantly overjoyed.

With such a powerful ally, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's odds of survival rose significantly.

At the very least, they'd now have no problem escaping in one piece.

"A soul power on par with a Five-Star Dou Zong?!"

Protector Xuan's dark red eyes flickered slightly as he stared at the illusionary form of the Tian Huo Zun Zhe. He was shocked.

Simultaneously, a surge of indescribable joy erupted from the depths of his heart.

If he could capture both Lin Feng and this soul body, and offer them to the Hall Master…

Then the rewards he'd earn might be enough to help him advance to an Eight-Star Dou Zong, or perhaps even higher!

"Jie jie—"

As that thought emerged, Protector Xuan let out a creepy laugh and said excitedly, "Kid, I didn't expect you to gift me such a treasure. When I extract your soul later, I'll make it quick for you."

"Heh, that's only if you're strong enough."

Lin Feng smirked coldly and let out a low snort from his throat.

Then, he turned to the Tian Huo Zun Zhe and said, "Elder Yao, make it quick with those Gold and Silver Elders."

With that, Lin Feng's gaze locked onto the distant black mist in the sky.

Facing a Six-Star Dou Zong, he didn't dare to hold anything back.

Inside his body, the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame began to churn violently.

A wild and overwhelming Dou Qi erupted from within him and rapidly surged into every part of his body.

His aura soared in an instant, rapidly breaking through the peak of Dou Huang.

Finally, it stabilized—at the exact same level as Fang Yan before his death!

"That's… the Dou Zong barrier? Just as I thought. A single change of the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change still isn't enough to shatter it."

Feeling the surging power coursing through his body, Lin Feng frowned slightly, a trace of disappointment flashing in his heart.

Relying on the effect of the secret technique, he had now reached a level very close to Dou Zong.

At this moment, he could vaguely feel a barrier—something that didn't seem to exist, yet was unmistakably there.

He knew that was the threshold into the Dou Zong realm.

But unfortunately, that seemingly intangible barrier was incredibly solid.

No matter how much power he funneled through his body, he simply couldn't break through.

"A secret technique?"

Sensing Lin Feng's skyrocketing aura, Protector Xuan was first stunned—then sneered with disdain: "So what if you're at half-step Dou Zong? In front of a Six-Star Dou Zong like me, you might last a few more moves at best. Jie jie."

"Is that so? Then let's see who gets the last laugh!"

Lin Feng brushed aside the trace of disappointment in his heart, his expression turning cold and indifferent.

With a flick of his hand, a large surge of Glazed Lotus Heart Flame erupted, forming a massive vortex of emerald flames around him.

"Go!"

With a low shout, the emerald flame vortex suddenly split into several massive fire pythons that shot directly toward the figure hidden within the black mist.

"Tricks of the trade!"

Seeing the blazing green flame serpents shooting toward him, Protector Xuan let out a disdainful snort.

The black mist that enshrouded him began to surge violently.

Suddenly, the sound of metal chains grinding together rang out across the sky.

An equal number of metal chains shot out from within the black mist, clashing head-on with the flame pythons.

"Chi-la~"

As the two collided in mid-air, dense white smoke erupted from the contact point.

Under the harsh hissing sound, the black metal chains began to melt rapidly.

"This Heavenly Flame's suppression against souls is a bit much… if it had been me back when I was a Four-Star Dou Zong, I might really have perished here…"

Watching his dissolving black chains, Protector Xuan frowned, his gaze shifting slightly as he stared at the vast expanse of green fire, secretly muttering in his heart.

Still, he wasn't too worried.

Although he had never seen this kind of Heavenly Flame before, its strength and its suppressive effect on souls were clearly considerable.

But Lin Feng wasn't a true Dou Zong. As a Six-Star Dou Zong, he was confident he could still handle it.

Thinking of this, his heart settled. With another wave of his hand, several more chains shot out like bolts, targeting the portion of sky where Lin Feng stood.

Meanwhile, Tian Huo Zun Zhe had already begun to act as well.

His vast soul power surged outward, rapidly condensing in his hand into a phantom long sword.

He then swung it several times in the air, sending out a barrage of cutting, phantom sword auras that tore through the void, flying directly toward the Gold and Silver Elders.

"Hmph! Killing the two of us won't be so easy!"

Seeing the Tian Huo Zun Zhe's opening move was a killing strike, the Gold and Silver Elders naturally understood his intention immediately.

Their expressions darkened, and a serious light flashed in their eyes.

With cold snorts, Dou Zong-level auras burst forth from their bodies.

They transformed into two streaks of light—one gold, one silver—and charged directly toward the attack.

However, deep down, both of them were feeling a bit shaken.

After all, the old soul body in front of them had strength equivalent to a Five-Star Dou Zong.

While the two of them had helped Protector Xuan with a mission in the past and received a set of Mid-Grade Earth Class cultivation techniques, it had only been less than a year since they began cultivating them.

Among the two, the stronger Gold Elder had barely reached Two-Star Dou Zong.

The Silver Elder, who had advanced more recently, was only at the peak of One-Star Dou Zong.

If they were facing a Four-Star Dou Zong, they might still have some confidence.

But against a Five-Star Dou Zong... it looked like they'd have to pay a price to get through this fight.

Still, they both knew one thing very clearly: if they dared to run away now—

Not only would they lose the chance to receive future cultivation resources from Protector Xuan, they might even end up being hunted down by him later.

So, they could only grit their teeth and stand their ground to fight the Tian Huo Zun Zhe.

Seeing both sides once again making moves, all the surrounding powerhouses soared back into battle.
