"Arrogant? Maybe."
Whoosh!
A mass of black flame surged up from Wei Yang's palm. In an instant, a scorching heat spread out in all directions.
Crackle~
Countless tiny arcs of lightning darted around.
"Heavenly Flame!" Qi Zun Zhe's eyes narrowed to slits as he let out a cold laugh.
"Die for me!" Wei Yang's figure suddenly shot forward, taking the initiative to attack; in a flash, he closed in on Qi Zun Zhe and struck out with his palm.
Roar~
A dragon's cry rang out. A black dragon of thunder and flame, carrying a terrifying aura and heat, pounced straight at Qi Zun Zhe.
"A Heavenly Flame with the power of a peak Dou Zong?" A crimson glint flickered in Qi Zun Zhe's eyes; surprise and a trace of solemnity appeared on his face.
This level of power… was already enough to threaten him.
"But, useless!" Qi Zun Zhe said coldly.
The black mist churned, and a withered, pale hand reached out from within; then, it pressed hard toward the incoming thunder-flame dragon.
Buzz~
The void ahead twisted, rippling like water. Black mist whirled madly, condensing into a massive black palm print several zhang across, which slapped toward the black thunder-flame dragon.
An instant later, the two forces collided violently.
Rumble~
A violent shockwave of energy burst outward. The sky-darkening black storm was instantly cleared away in a huge swath. Space boiled; thunder and flame raged without end.
"Kid, you're lucky. With only the strength of a mere Three-Star Dou Zong, you've managed to control a peak Dou Zong-level Heavenly Flame. I have to admit, at the Dou Zong level, your strength has reached a peak."
Qi Zun Zhe's body was shrouded in swirling black mist, resisting the corrosion of the thunder-flame. After a sigh of acknowledgment, his voice turned cold: "However, this level of strength, in my eyes, is still far from enough."
"You talk too much!" Wei Yang raised both palms, two clusters of black flame flickering in his hands; then he struck again, "You think being a Two-Star Dou Zun is something great?"
Roar~ Roar~
Two dragon cries resounded as another pair of thunder-flame dragons burst forth, their bodies expanding in the wind until they were over ten zhang long, ferociously charging toward Qi Zun Zhe.
"This Heavenly Flame… something's strange about it." Qi Zun Zhe frowned and sent out two black palm prints; in his heart, he was secretly surprised, "It feels a bit like the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame."
Boom! Boom!
Palm prints and flame dragons exploded in midair.
"Hm?" Qi Zun Zhe had just dealt with the two flame dragons and hadn't even had time to catch his breath.
Swoosh!
A flickering black shadow suddenly appeared at his side, both palms surging with a cold black airflow and flames as they struck out. Two black palm prints, carrying a chilling cold aura, slammed toward him.
"Hm? This is… the Nine Nether Cold Qi and a Rank 6 cold-attribute beast flame?" Qi Zun Zhe was slightly shocked. The black mist before him writhed rapidly, forming a black shield to block the strike.
"You're… a soul body?" Then, Qi Zun Zhe locked his gaze on Ah Da, astonishment in his tone, "A soul body with peak Dou Zong-level power?"
But in the next instant, his eyes widened further, "No… your soul realm— you're a Spirit Realm soul?!"
This discovery filled Qi Zun Zhe with delight; an eerie laugh escaped his lips, "Jie jie jie… not bad, not bad at all! A Spirit Realm soul body!"
He hadn't expected that on this trip, not only would he have the chance to obtain a Heavenly Flame, but he'd also be able to capture a Spirit Realm soul body— what a harvest!
Such a soul body was exceedingly rare. Even for Qi Zun Zhe, it had been a long time since he'd managed to capture one of this level.
Facing Qi Zun Zhe's somewhat feverish gaze, Ah Da merely snorted coldly: "Junior, you're the arrogant one!"
You really think I, the You Hun Zun Zhe, am here to be bullied?
Then, he suddenly tilted his head back; under the shadow of his hood, his mouth opened wide.
The Nine Nether Cold Qi and Rank 6 cold-attribute beast flame swirling around his body churned rapidly, condensing into a massive black flame giant tiger, standing proudly in midair.
It slowly raised its head, a pair of huge, icy and ferocious eyes locking on Qi Zun Zhe with predatory intent.
"What's this?" Qi Zun Zhe's pupils shrank slightly, and a vague sense of unease rose in his heart.
Why did this move… feel oddly familiar?
Suddenly, the black flame giant tiger's belly swelled sharply; it stretched out its neck, tilted back its head, and opened its mouth wide.
Roooar~~
A tiger's roar thundered through the air—
The voice was incomparably strange, as if it directly ignored the distance of space itself; unavoidable, and in almost an instant, it rang beside Qi Zun Zhe's ear and echoed endlessly throughout his entire Sea of Consciousness.
Boom~
It was as if a muffled thunderclap suddenly exploded right next to his ear.
Qi Zun Zhe felt as if someone had struck the back of his head hard; his body trembled, and his entire consciousness fell into a state of blankness.
Immediately after, an invisible ripple of sound waves spread out rapidly from the black giant tiger at the center.
The sweep of those invisible sound waves dispersed everything along their path — the thunder fire, the black gales, and the eerie mist — all of it was driven away completely, utterly unable to block its advance.
Even space itself rippled violently. The ripples sped toward Qi Zun Zhe at an astonishing pace.
His body trembled; the thick black mist coiling around him fluctuated violently and then grew much thinner.
At this moment, his Sea of Consciousness was like a once-calm lake surface that had suddenly been hit by a massive boulder, sending violent waves rolling through it.
Buzz~
As the ripple swept through, Qi Zun Zhe's very soul gave a violent shudder.
"Great chance, Mistress — it's now!" The giant tiger's eyes lit up, and a wave of consciousness quickly transmitted outward.
At the same time, Wei Yang and the others were also struck by that invisible sound wave, their consciousness falling into a brief blank state.
However, because they were farther away and not the main target, they were only brushed by the aftershock and thus suffered far less.
Farther still, Xian'er — who had intentionally hung back from the start of the fight and had prepared herself in advance — was the first to regain clarity.
Whoosh!
Her figure flashed forward, almost like teleportation, appearing right before Qi Zun Zhe. Her right hand's index and middle fingers came together like a sword, carrying a wisp of eerie green flame as they thrust forward, stabbing straight toward the center of his brows.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~
The eerie green flame carried an extremely potent corrosive force, sizzling even against the space around her fingers. The strange black mist shrouding Qi Zun Zhe's forehead was rapidly corroded and dissolved away, showing just how vicious its poison truly was.
The eerie green flame then pierced directly through the space between Qi Zun Zhe's brows, drilling inside.
Immediately after—
Xian'er repeated the motion, lightly stabbing once more at Qi Zun Zhe's chest.
Once that was done—
Whoosh!
Her figure retreated in a flash, trailing streaks of white afterimages.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye — from the moment Qi Zun Zhe's consciousness fell into a blank state to the instant Xian'er withdrew, it was less than the time it took for two breaths.
Wei Yang was the first to recover; his body moved. Almost at the exact same time, Qi Zun Zhe's mind cleared.
In that instant—
Boom~
A terrifying aura erupted from him, shattering the surrounding space inch by inch and spreading outward in all directions.
A Dou Zun-level expert — terrifying beyond compare!Just the instantaneous burst of his aura alone shattered the space around him.
Roar~
Qi Zun Zhe let out an enraged roar, the sound like rolling thunder.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The very instant he regained his senses, he instinctively launched a frenzied attack toward Xian'er. Black palm imprints blasted forward in a violent flurry. The massive palm prints, carrying shattered fragments of space, surged forth like crashing waves.
Retreating, Xian'er's palms moved rapidly, shooting out streak after streak of eerie green flame to meet the assault while continuing to fall back at speed.
Her white afterimages faded away like bubbles.
"Hmph!" Wei Yang, arriving right after her, also sent out palm strikes in rapid succession, helping her block the attacks while pulling her back quickly.
Behind them, Qing Lin and Du Jiao also rushed forward.
"Little girl, what did you do to me? Die!" At that moment, Qi Zun Zhe burst forth from the shattered void, chasing after them. With a furious roar, his palm descended, sending a massive black palm print, over ten zhang across, crashing down.
Roar~
Du Jiao stepped forward, fists clenched tight, and smashed them forward with force.
Boom!
Two air cannons formed, hurtling to meet the black palm print head-on.
Rumble~
That section of the void shattered instantly, and the shockwaves of energy swept outward, carrying shards of space with them.
