"Boom! Boom!"
The instant that command fell, the two peak Seven-Star Dou Zong-level Earth Demon Puppets exploded almost simultaneously.
The twin surges of violent energy from their self-detonation instantly expanded outward, rushing straight toward that vast, earth-yellow ocean of Dou Qi.
"Run! It's an ambush!"
The twin blasts snapped the nearby dazed onlookers back to their senses.
In the next moment, everyone frantically shot off in the same chosen direction.
"Hmph, we've prepared far too long for this to let you all escape. Be good and hand over Lue Feng Zun Zhe's storage ring and the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame together."
From high in the sky came another calm voice, different from before.
Almost immediately, a point in the heavens erupted with a blinding burst of golden light.
Countless thin golden threads tore through the air, slicing through space itself as they streaked toward the fleeing crowd with uncanny precision.
Those struck by the golden threads—regardless of how strong they were—shuddered violently.
A faint, inconspicuous streak of crimson suddenly bloomed at the center of their brows, trickling down slowly.
The next heartbeat, their bodies went limp and tumbled helplessly into the sand below.
Only a handful were deliberately spared by the Dou Zun, surviving by sheer luck.
Bang!
At that moment, the earth-yellow energy and the shockwaves from the Earth Demon Puppets' self-detonation slammed together violently.
A terrifying energy storm burst outward, sweeping toward all directions at breakneck speed.
"Huh… puppets from the Ancient Era, long since thought lost. But… mere peak Seven-Star Dou Zong puppets blowing themselves up still can't block my attack."
The earth-attribute Dou Zun's tone carried a hint of surprise at the two puppets Lin Feng had summoned.
And indeed, the scene ahead unfolded exactly as he claimed.
After a brief stalemate, the destructive force from the puppets' self-detonation was fully spent against that ocean of earth-yellow Dou Qi.
Then, the thick tide of Dou Qi surged forward again, continuing straight toward Lin Feng and the others.
"Go!"
At that moment, Tian Huo Zun Zhe suddenly turned his head and barked at Lin Feng.
Before him, space itself rippled and twisted. A pitch-black vortex appeared, exuding a concentrated aura of spatial power.
"He can construct a temporary spatial wormhole as a soul body?"
Seeing Tian Huo Zun Zhe open a random exit through space while only in soul form, the man's voice carried genuine astonishment.
Clearly, he hadn't expected such a thing.
After all, an ordinary Dou Zun in soul form alone couldn't possibly create a spatial wormhole—unless that Dou Zun had been at least a Four-Star Dou Zun before death.
And a Four-Star Dou Zun… could kill him with ease.
"Hmph!"
The man gave a cold snort, and the earth-yellow Dou Qi in the sky flared violently, its speed multiplying several fold as it hurtled straight for Lin Feng and the others.
If this soul's former strength was truly that great, he could not allow it to escape.
This was the perfect chance to wipe out a future threat once and for all. Lin Feng's expression turned grim as he stared at the torrent of Dou Qi racing toward them.
At some point, a basin-sized, multicolored Emperor Lotus had appeared in his palm.
"Go!"
With a sharp cry, he hurled the lotus with all his strength toward the onrushing sea of earth-yellow Dou Qi behind them.
This Emperor Lotus was hastily fused from several beast flames and two Heavenly Flames he carried.
Its might naturally fell short of one that included the Life Transforming Flame and the Ghostly Poison Flame.
Even so, it could still stall the enemy's attack for a moment—enough to buy him a sliver of time to escape.
The multicolored lotus streaked forward at incredible speed, plunging straight into the vast ocean of earth-yellow Dou Qi.
Rumble—
After a brief, oppressive silence, a muffled, thunderous boom erupted from within.
The shockwave from the Emperor Lotus's detonation blasted away much of the surrounding dense Dou Qi.
That ocean of earth-yellow energy even paused briefly under the violent gale of the explosion.
"Heavenly Flame?!"
The sight of the rapidly spreading waves of multicolored fire drew two startled, elderly voices that echoed once again across the sky.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng urgently pulled Xiao Yixian into the spatial wormhole.
He knew full well—this hastily made Emperor Lotus of his could never completely block such an attack.
As for Tian Huo Zun Zhe, whose soul had become as faint as mist from forcibly creating the spatial wormhole, he took the chance to retreat into the snow-white storage ring and promptly fell into deep slumber.
But just as Lin Feng's foot was about to step into the wormhole—a thin, golden strand of Dou Qi appeared from nowhere, silently streaking toward his heart with deadly precision.
Lin Feng's powerful soul perception seemed to catch the faint trace of danger behind him.
In an instant, he pulled Xiao Yixian tightly into his arms, shielding her completely, and twisted his body to the side.
Yet the golden thread still pursued relentlessly.
Even with Lin Feng's Thousand Steel Body fully activated, the thread pierced through it like paper.
His body, as tough as that of a Rank 7 magic beast, might as well have been made of nothing in that moment.
The thread tore straight through the outer side of his ribs, just beneath his right arm!
Before Lin Feng could even process the searing pain on his right side, the earth-yellow Dou Qi—slightly weakened by the Emperor Lotus—came crashing in from behind like a raging tide.
Bang!
The surging energy slammed viciously into his back, which was glowing faintly gold.
In an instant, the flesh on his once-unscathed back was ripped and shredded by the violent impact.
Pffft—
The sudden, devastating injury forced a mouthful of fresh blood from Lin Feng's lips.
Yet, strangely enough, the force of the blow sent him and Xiao Yi Xian surging forward within the wormhole, their speed increasing by more than half.
"Xiao Yixian… destroy the wormhole—stop them from following…"
He got the words out—and then his consciousness slipped away.
"Lin Feng!"
Seeing him suddenly collapse, Xiao Yixian's heart clenched painfully.
Relief came only when she realized he was merely unconscious.
Glancing around, she took in the extremely thin and uneven space walls surrounding them, through which occasional leaks of spatial force seeped.
She quickly raised her slender, fair arm and slammed her palm into the unstable entrance of the wormhole.
Crack… BOOM—
Under the full power of an Eight-Star Dou Zong, the entrance—already barely held together by Tian Huo Zun Zhe—collapsed instantly.
