The instant the walls of the spatial wormhole shattered, a violent spatial storm erupted from the void, sweeping outward in the blink of an eye!
The surrounding space was thrown into utter chaos.
The terrifying storm swallowed up vast swathes of space, and from the entrance of the wormhole ahead, an expanding blackness began to surge outward at incredible speed.
The earth-shaking spatial storm spread from the damaged entrance, rolling rapidly toward the rear of the wormhole.
The hastily constructed, fragile space walls—barely holding together—collapsed at frightening speed under the assault of the storm.
Seeing this, Xiao Yixian tightened her hold on the unconscious Lin Feng.
Using the burst of acceleration from the earlier attack, she began flying forward with everything she had.
If she couldn't escape this temporary wormhole before it completely collapsed, she and Lin Feng would die here together.
After all, even for her—an Eight-Star Dou Zong—once caught in a spatial storm and dragged into the void space, death was almost certain.
At that moment, an old man in a yellow robe suddenly appeared at the collapsing entrance of the wormhole.
Although his hair and beard were completely white, there wasn't a single wrinkle on his face.
If not for the hair and beard, people might believe him to be only twenty years old.
However, his eyes at this moment brimmed with murderous intent, his expression dark as he glared at the raging storm before him.
Then he extended a finger and shouted lightly, "Extinguish!"
With that motion, the spatial storm instantly vanished—completely gone, as if it had never existed.
"Damn it… they actually got away. Out of all the survivors, those three had the greatest strength. The Heaven Class cultivation technique and the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame are most likely on them."
His face grew even colder, and he ground his teeth as he surveyed the scene before him.
The space in front of him was completely ruined by the earlier storm, the traces of the wormhole entirely erased.
It had been a temporary, randomly-constructed wormhole to begin with. Even the one who made it would have no idea where its exit was.
After such destruction, even for him—a Dou Zun—finding the tracks of those people in this chaos would take time. And by the time he found the path, they'd likely be long gone.
"It should be as we thought. I found no trace of Lue Feng Zun Zhe's inheritance or the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame on any of the survivors or in their storage rings."
At some point, another elder had appeared in the nearby sky—towering over two meters tall, his frame massive and imposing.
His skin was a golden hue, completely different from the pale skin of the Dou Zun from Earth Force Sect—quite similar, in fact, to Lin Feng's appearance when he activated his Thousand Steel Body.
At this moment, the burly old man held a storage ring he had snatched from someone else, his gaze cold and menacing.
The golden thread attack he had just unleashed had actually been detected in advance, failing to land the kill.
"With such powerful perception… that person is most likely a high-tier alchemist. But since they concealed their true appearance, we still have no idea what they actually look like."
Hearing this, the Dou Zun from Earth Force Sect flashed over, his tone thick with killing intent.
If he hadn't been concerned about damaging those treasures, he could have simply used spatial collapse to kill them instantly.
Otherwise, with just Dou Zong-level strength, how could they possibly have escaped unscathed from the hands of two Dou Zun experts?
"Heh…"
Hearing this, the broad-shouldered Dou Zun let out a cold laugh.
"Then let's start with these people first. Still… that Lue Feng Zun Zhe really is just as the ancient records say—awful temperament. There were clearly hundreds who entered the ruins, yet now, only this handful managed to crawl out alive."
He turned his sharp gaze toward the survivors and spoke in a slow, heavy voice, "If you want to live, then tell me everything you know about that man. Every detail. And inside the ruins—what did those few take with them?"
He paused for a brief moment, then continued, voice dripping with menace, "Say it, and this Zun Zhe will let you walk away in one piece. But if you stay silent… well, you already know what happens next."
The few who had survived by sheer luck kept their heads down, lips tightly sealed.
After all, Lin Feng had saved their lives inside the ruins.
And now, seeing even two Dou Zun ancestors personally make a move just to deal with him and his companions… anyone with half a brain could tell that there was no way they'd actually let witnesses walk away.
"Hmph! Stubborn to the end!"
The brawny old man's eyes flashed with irritation. He suddenly stretched out a palm toward one of them and clenched his fist.
Bang!
With a muffled explosion, that person was instantly reduced to a cloud of blood mist.
The sudden brutality made the others flinch in horror.
Yes, they'd all been cultivating for years, and killing was nothing new to them—but when death was suddenly right in front of you, fear was something you couldn't suppress.
"I—I'll talk! Those people… aside from the newly obtained Wind and Thunder Fury Flame, they have three other Heavenly Flames. One of them cultivates fire attribute, another cultivates poison attribute. The Wind and Thunder Fury Flame from the ruins, and the Dou Zun's storage ring, were both taken by them!"
Startled by the killing, one survivor blurted out everything he knew.
The two old men frowned slightly.
They had already guessed most of this.
So whether this was said or not—it made no difference.
The brawny old man's tone grew impatient.
"And? What else? Which faction are they from? What do they really look like?"
"Senior, those… those things, we really don't know!"
The man's throat worked nervously before he stammered out his answer.
The brawny old man's palm tightened again.
Bang!
Another cloud of blood mist burst into the air—the unlucky one this time was a One-Star Dou Zong.
He turned back, his voice like ice. "You're sure that's all you know?"
"Senior, we truly aren't familiar with them! That's all I know, I swear!"
Seeing the person next to him turn into a blood mist, the man completely lost his nerve. With a thud, he dropped to his knees and kowtowed frantically.
"Senior, I've told you everything I know! Please, have mercy and let us go!"
"Useless!"
The brawny old man snorted coldly, realizing there was nothing more to squeeze out of them.
