Wang Teng's pupils contracted. What a terrifying aura. He couldn't track the opponent's speed at all.
"Immortal Indestructible Body!"
As he roared, his skin was covered by golden light.
"Boom!!"
He blocked it, but could only block the cutting force, not the immense impact. Wang Teng was sent flying backward, smashing hard against the barrier covered in black.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, injured. If not for the Immortal Indestructible Body, this blow would have taken his life.
"Tsk tsk tsk... You all know immortal arts. Geniuses like you, if you don't die, you pose a great crisis to our Shitain race! But how many more hits can you withstand? The third one should be fatal, right?"
"Why come in without any chance of winning? Where are your companions? Why didn't you call them to die with you? It seems your unity is not strong enough..."
...
Outside, everyone watched the pitch-black interior. They could hear the conversation but couldn't see what was happening inside.
However, the golden light emanating from Wang Teng's Immortal Indestructible Body was still faintly visible, allowing them to roughly track his position.
The life force from all directions was gathered by Li Qingyun at his fingertips, then transformed into gray, desolate death energy, forming a gray imprint.
Li Qingyun took a deep breath and popped a few pills into his mouth.
Behind him, the phantom of the Enlightenment Tree appeared. He extracted a portion of its life force, and his entire spirit became much more ethereal.
As Li Qingyun's strength increased, the role of the Enlightenment Tree Soul was no longer as significant. This item could easily put him into an enlightened state, but after being influenced for so long, coupled with possessing the Chaos Divine Lotus and having consumed the Enlightenment Fruit in the past, entering an enlightened state was already quite easy for him.
A portion of the Enlightenment Tree spirit's life force was extracted and condensed into a curse imprint. Both imprints were controlled within his hands.
He looked at the others and said solemnly, "Give me your buffs. Success or failure depends on this!"
Bai Nianchen channeled the Four Symbols' Spirits onto Li Qingyun. Shen Yingxue played a zither melody for him, with phantoms of phoenixes attaching themselves to him. Xiao Long infused the Chaos Bell into his body.
Feeling a significant increase in his strength, Li Qingyun stared at the golden-glowing black barrier and charged in.
Wang Teng's armor was already shattered, and the golden light on his skin was losing its luster.
Luermou raised his dagger and contemptuously stabbed towards Wang Teng.
"So what if you were saved by the Emperor of Creation? What good is being a genius? Even the top genius is just an ant I can crush with one foot before they grow. You and the humans of that world can reunite in hell."
But at this moment, lotus flowers bloomed in the air. Li Qingyun's figure pierced through the darkness and rushed towards Luermou.
A gray palm print instantly blasted towards him. Luermou raised his hand, but it didn't fall. He wore a sneer, then transformed into a pool of black liquid, merging into the pitch-black domain, as if he had vanished.
He then slowly emerged from another direction, like a phantom.
And Li Qingyun's palm strike... seemed to have missed.
"Oh my, oh my, I'm not like that idiot Babali. I've repeatedly watched the footage of your previous battle and am very wary of you, the only one who poses a threat to me. You people are so loyal to each other, how could you let Wang Teng come in to die alone?"
"So he was just meant to attract my firepower. When I let my guard down, you would suddenly appear and catch me off guard, right? Unfortunately, I've always been on guard against you. Although I don't think this curse imprint will affect the final outcome even if it hits, who told me to be cautious?"
Wang Teng and Li Qingyun's expressions changed drastically.
Their only means of victory had been predicted!
Things might become very dangerous, because without weakening this guy, they had no way to defeat such a terrifying enemy.
Luermou was satisfied with their expressions. He enjoyed the feeling of crushing his enemies with both strength and intellect, making him feel incredibly powerful.
Li Qingyun took a deep breath, his expression resolute, and said, "Brother Teng, I'm truly sorry, I got you into this!"
"You damn it... just tell me you were acting, okay?"
"I wish I could, but this is our moment of life and death! Cancel this barrier and leave! I'll take responsibility for this mistake!"
"I don't have a choice... this black barrier only allows entry, not exit!"
Luermou held a dagger in each hand, a sinister smile on his face.
"Farewell, foolish geniuses! It is your honor to die by my blade!"
Li Qingyun gritted his teeth and charged forward, unleashing the Chaos Divine Lotus.
"Your immortal artifact, I'll take it with pleasure!"
Luermou fiercely stabbed towards the Chaos Divine Lotus.
The Chaos Divine Lotus, which had always been invincible, trembled violently.
Li Qingyun clenched his fists and punched towards Luermou, with the spirit of fighting to the death!
"I'll fight you to the death!"
"What right do you have to fight me?"
Luermou, with one hand pinning the swaying Chaos Divine Lotus, swung his other hand at Li Qingyun.
A huge black crescent moon was drawn, its chilling aura making Li Qingyun shiver. These two daggers were also extremely evil things; when felt up close, it was as if he could hear the wails of countless wronged souls.
But Li Qingyun was now under multiple buffs, and he felt he could withstand a blow.
"Clang!!!"
The Chaos Bell appeared on Li Qingyun's body, causing Luermou a slight moment of stunned surprise, unable to inflict serious damage on him.
His dagger still forcibly plunged into Li Qingyun's shoulder, blood splattering, and a chilling aura poured in.
However, at this moment, Li Qingyun revealed a triumphant smile.
"Now you can't dodge, can you?"
His fist opened directly, transforming into a palm print.
The gray desolate energy spread. At such close range, Luermou had no way to dodge, especially with his dagger still stuck in Li Qingyun's shoulder.
Luermou was also stunned. The terrifying death energy bloomed within him, and he realized he had been ambushed, becoming furious!
"You think one Desolation Curse can change the tide of battle?"
"What about the other two?"
From the Chaos Divine Lotus, a little girl with a lotus leaf umbrella emerged. In her small palm, there was a gray curse imprint, which she slammed towards the stunned Luermou.
Li Qingyun burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you idiot! You think I only have two Desolation Curses? We have a Chaos Body that can evolve immortal arts!"
Wang Teng, who had been ready to burn his life force nearby, was also stunned: "Holy crap, little brother, you were really acting just now?"
