After all, if the space barrier was broken, there would be no way to stop others from entering.
And once the experts outside managed to come in, he'd be completely done for.
Just as the beam of light in front was dealt with, a massive fireball, nearly a hundred meters in diameter, suddenly rose up.
It slowly emerged from the spot where the Emperor Lotus had exploded earlier!
Within that fireball surged an unbelievably destructive power, to the point that the surrounding space was violently distorted.
It even shattered the space around the center of the explosion—creating a giant black spatial rift suspended eerily in the low sky.
"Boom!"
That multi-colored fireball which had suddenly appeared in the sky paused momentarily, then exploded with a deafening roar.
In an instant, howling winds swept across the skies, and clouds rolled in waves.
The explosion resembled a second sun, erupting in the air.
It released a blinding radiance and an incredibly scorching heat!
The destructive power it contained expanded at an alarming rate, radiating an overwhelming force.
In a blink, a vast portion of the forest outside was annihilated, completely wiped off the face of the earth!
Such a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering phenomenon caused everyone watching to tremble with fear, faces turning pale.
Countless dust and rubble, mixed with torn foliage and magical beast corpses, were swept away in a violent gust, roaring like a swarm of angry bees.
The cultivators who had managed to escape earlier were now utterly terrified, hastily fleeing even further toward the edges of the ruins.
And at the same time, deep regret bloomed in their hearts.
Just now, they had only barely escaped the soul attack from that Dou Zun, and now, another monster had appeared!
The multi-colored flame lotus Dou Technique was simply too terrifying. It had scared them out of their wits.
If it hadn't been for the space barrier isolating this ancient ruin from the outside world—if it had shattered from the explosion—they would have already run as far as they could!
After a long while, once the blazing sea of fire had completely died down...
Everyone stared in stunned silence, eyes blank, as a towering mushroom cloud of black smoke slowly descended in the distance.
The ancient ruin had fallen into a deathly silence.
Looking far into the distance, they saw that the once pristine black plaza and surrounding ground had completely vanished.
Deep underground, the foundation of the ruin laid by Lue Feng Zun Zhe had been exposed.
Large and small dark spatial cracks floated eerily a few dozen meters above the ground—silently bearing witness to the chaos and destruction that had just unfolded in this sky.
"Very well… you bastard. You've succeeded in enraging me. If I don't kill you today, I swear I am no longer human!"
Once the aftermath of the Emperor Lotus explosion had fully settled—the now even more ghost-like form of Lue Feng Zun Zhe reappeared before everyone's eyes.
At first glance, he seemed completely unharmed.
But in truth, to withstand that explosion—one that had devastating effects on spiritual bodies he had paid a steep price in soul power.
What was worse—the blood and flesh of the cultivators he had painstakingly gathered earlier using the Bloodthirsty Spirit Formation had been completely destroyed in that blast!
For someone who could no longer replenish his soul power, this was nothing less than a catastrophe.
Staring at Lin Feng, who floated calmly in the sky above, Lue Feng Zun Zhe's eyes burned with killing intent.
Lin Feng's gaze likewise landed on him.
He looked at the scrawny, goat-bearded old man with an unremarkable appearance.
It was truly hard to imagine that this soul, in his lifetime, had once been a Five-Change Dou Zun.
"Swish~"
Just then, a flash of white streaked across the sky—a graceful figure landed beside Lin Feng.
"You got it?"
Seeing Xiao Yixian return, Lin Feng instantly asked in an excited voice.
Xiao Yixian nodded lightly and smiled.
"Mm, I got it."
Hearing her confirm it, Lin Feng couldn't help but break into a wide grin.
That Heaven Class wind-element cultivation technique—with a ninety percent chance—was inside that storage ring.
Now that the ring was in their hands, it meant they had most likely obtained the technique as well.
Such a gain, even for someone as experienced and well-traveled as Lin Feng, filled him with delight.
"You bastard—come and die!"
Seeing Lin Feng smiling so happily, Lue Feng Zun Zhe instantly lost all composure.
With a roar, he slashed down toward the two of them with a long sword engulfed in flames.
The blade burned with raging, earthy-yellow fire, looking ferociously terrifying.
As for Lin Feng—there was no way he'd sit still and be captured.
A faint golden glow suddenly flashed across his skin—the next moment, he clenched his fist, and the shadow of a bear manifested over it—then he struck head-on toward the opponent's seemingly unstoppable flaming long sword!
"Clang!"
The blade clashed directly with Lin Feng's fist, the impact ringing out loud and clear.
A tangible shockwave erupted from where the two met, rapidly spreading in all directions.
Immediately after, Lin Feng felt a sharp sting of pain surge from his fist—then a second wave of force crashed down on him, catching him off guard—his body was thrown back violently by the impact.
He was knocked backward for over a hundred meters before he finally managed to steady himself.
Raising the hand that had clashed with the sword, he saw a long, deep gash across the back.
Bright red blood flowed out steadily.
Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly retrieved a blood-staunching pill from his storage ring and swallowed it.
Meanwhile, Lue Feng Zun Zhe had only taken a few steps back before stopping.
Clearly, in this exchange, Lin Feng had suffered a minor loss.
"Elder Yao, you go wear him down first. Once he's weakened, we'll finish this quickly," Lin Feng said internally, his gaze fixed on the sky ahead.
"No problem. Watch me drain his soul power down to half."
Tian Huo Zun Zhe's voice responded.
As soon as he spoke, his somewhat ghostly figure floated swiftly out from Lin Feng's storage ring.
A powerful Dou Qi aura at the Nine-Star Dou Zong level began spreading through the air above.
"So, you're the soul hiding within that brat. I saw you before—when you were fighting that seventh-tier alchemist. But even with the two of you working together, you weren't my match,"Lue Feng Zun Zhe sneered.
"That's why I advise you to back off now. If you do, I promise not to come after you later."
As Tian Huo Zun Zhe suddenly appeared, a flicker of dread crossed Lue Feng Zun Zhe's eyes. His tone mixed both threat and persuasion.
Though he was confident that he could defeat all three of them—each with Nine-Star Dou Zong-level strength—that kind of prolonged battle would severely deplete his already fragile soul power.
And that would be an enormous problem for him.
After all, he hadn't anticipated that this so-called ruin would attract not just one, but two peak Dou Zongs with strength close to Dou Zun.
Though he had disposed of the others, he hadn't even had time to absorb the energy from their flesh and blood—before Lin Feng's World Destroying Emperor Lotus incinerated it all to ashes.
As a result, every shred of soul power he had now… had to be used with extreme care.
