Boom!
As their words fell, two incomparably terrifying attacks struck Xu Chuan simultaneously.
Where they passed, heaven and earth collapsed, and all things were annihilated.
As these attacks unleashed, the entire battlefield fell silent.
Everyone stopped their attacks, turning their attention to this battlefield.
On the allied side, seeing Li Yan and Hou Qinglin suddenly erupt, they seemed to see new hope, their eyes once again brimming with anticipation.
As for the disciples of the Taiyi Holy Land, their hearts were clutched in their throats.
They had all witnessed Xu Chuan's strength, and his decisive crippling of Long Tu had given them immense confidence.
But now, Xu Chuan, heavily depleted, had to face two individuals at their peak strength, beings comparable to first-tier Emperor Venerables.
Anyone seeing this scene would feel panicked.
Even Xuan Sa showed some urgency, his attacks becoming more fierce, pushing back the five peak Half-Emperor existences before him.
These were not the useless individuals like Qu Heng and the others from before, who were killed by Xuan Sa with little resistance.
At this moment, they had all employed their ultimate trump cards, their strength elevated to its peak.
Even if not equal to Emperor Venerables, they were not far off.
Coupled with the Emperor Weapons they wielded, they were incredibly powerful.
However, even in such circumstances, Xuan Sa could still fight five at once.
This demonstrated the immense improvement he had gained from opening his Inner World.
At this moment, he only wanted to quickly finish off the individuals before him and rush to support Xu Chuan.
Anyone here could be in trouble, but Xu Chuan could not!
No matter the cost, Xu Chuan had to remain unharmed!
This was Xuan Sa's resolve.
However.
Facing these two incoming powerful attacks, Xu Chuan showed no hint of fear. Instead, his eyes glinted with anticipation.
Just as Li Yan and the others thought, his Emperor Venerable realm strength could indeed not be maintained for long.
But so what?
The time he had was more than enough!
The strength forcibly elevated by the Heart Devouring Gu was no match for him!
It was a perfect opportunity for him to engage in a hearty battle!
Facing two opponents at once, what was so difficult about that?
In the Illusionary Battlefield, he had even faced third-tier Emperor Venerables without showing any fear.
Let alone now?
"Come on!"
Xu Chuan roared, then took a step forward.
Boom!
Instantly, the surroundings churned with wind and clouds.
Fierce flames began to burn.
Xu Chuan's body transformed into a sea of fire.
Two fire dragons, one red and one white, roared in the sky, intertwining.
They eventually formed two lotus flowers.
As Xu Chuan threw a punch, the lotus flowers also flew out.
Rumble!
The two attacks intertwined, and the lotus flowers exploded.
In an instant, the Fusion Fire raged, turning the void into a furnace.
Everything in heaven and earth was enveloped by the flames. As far as the eye could see, there was only terrifying Fusion Fire.
Only deafening roars could be heard from within the sea of fire, shaking heaven and earth.
Xu Chuan and the figures of Li Yan and Hou Qinglin were also enveloped in the sea of fire.
Only three brilliant lights could be vaguely seen crisscrossing within the flames.
With each collision, a powerful energy storm swept out.
For cultivators with weaker cultivation, if caught off guard by the storm, they would be shattered to pieces.
Countless cultivators were horrified, their hearts filled with dread.
Only Xuan Sa's eyes gleamed with intensity and fervor.
The anxious stone in his heart was finally put to rest.
"Good kid, you made me worry for nothing!"
Seeing that Xu Chuan was not at a disadvantage fighting two, nor showing any fatigue, Xuan Sa's face once again broke into a smile.
With no lingering worries, his attacks became even more formidable.
This made his opponents even more overwhelmed.
They could only defend passively, groaning under the pressure.
Meanwhile, within the sea of fire, Li Yan and Hou Qinglin's faces were as dark as if water could drip from them.
Originally, they planned to use their numbers advantage to wear Xu Chuan down and even kill him, even if they couldn't defeat him head-on.
But their intentions were good, and the outcome was extremely unacceptable.
After the initial exchange, they had gained absolutely no advantage.
On the contrary, their own consumption was immense.
In contrast, Xu Chuan was not as they had predicted, becoming more fatigued and falling into a disadvantage.
Xu Chuan was like a tireless battle machine, his primal energy seemingly inexhaustible.
What made it even more unacceptable was that Xu Chuan's strength was rapidly increasing during the battle.
He was becoming more proficient with his various cultivation techniques and martial skills.
They had completely become Xu Chuan's sparring partners.
If this continued, they were doomed to fail!
This was something they could not accept.
After paying such a heavy price, if they still couldn't escape, then all their efforts would truly be in vain.
The two exchanged glances, seeing the ruthless determination in each other's eyes.
This could not continue!
"Xu Chuan, I admit you are strong, but this is where it ends!"
Li Yan roared.
Then, his aura surged once more.
Beside him, Hou Qinglin seemed to have made a grave decision, casting a final, fierce glare at Xu Chuan.
If looks could kill, Xu Chuan would have died countless times already!
Then, under Xu Chuan's gaze, Hou Qinglin's figure transformed into a stream of light and directly merged into Li Yan's body.
Boom!
The moment they merged, Li Yan's aura skyrocketed again, reaching a terrifying level.
At this point, among first-tier Emperor Venerables, he could be considered powerful.
Li Yan had a secret that no one else knew except him.
That was, the second elder of the Xuantian Holy Land, Hou Qinglin, was actually his clone.
A part of him that had been split from his body!
This was why the relationship between the Grand Elder and the Second Elder of the Xuantian Holy Land was so close, and there were never any rumors of power struggles.
The outside world attributed it to the Xuantian Holy Lord's good management.
But only Li Yan knew the real reason.
It was all because Hou Qinglin was his clone.
In his youth, he had stumbled upon a cultivation method by chance.
By cultivating this method, he could split off a clone from his body.
The clone, besides having its own thoughts, also possessed an independent soul aura.
The only drawback was a slight slowness.
For a long time, others believed this was due to Hou Qinglin's poor communication skills.
The clone could also cultivate independently.
Only when both parties broke through to the Emperor Venerable realm would Li Yan be able to choose to merge with the clone.
According to the cultivation method, with this operation, he could directly leap from the first-tier Emperor Venerable realm to the third-tier Emperor Venerable realm.
Li Yan had never told this secret to anyone.
Within the Xuantian Holy Land, he cultivated diligently and became the Grand Elder of Xuantian.
With his help, Hou Qinglin's cultivation also improved, and he eventually became the Second Elder of Xuantian.
Later, they both broke through to the peak of the Half-Emperor realm.
They were only one step away from what was recorded in the cultivation method.
But today, to survive, Li Yan had no choice but to merge with the clone Hou Qinglin prematurely.
This also meant that all his years of hard work and scheming had ultimately gone to waste!
Sensing the rapid advancement in his strength, Li Yan became increasingly unwilling.
If not for Xu Chuan, he wouldn't have been in this situation!
It was all because of Xu Chuan; he had ruined everything for him!
At this moment, Li Yan's hatred for Xu Chuan reached an extreme again.
"He can actually merge?"
"Interesting!"
Xu Chuan watched this scene with amusement, a grin spreading across his face.
It seemed that Li Yan had exhausted all his options and was now resorting to everything he had.
