**
The light in Wei Yang's eyes flickered faintly before he quickly restrained it. Black flames coiled around his palm as he shot out several strikes in rapid succession, each one landing fiercely on the ribs around the Dou Sheng skeleton's waist and abdomen.
Under the impact of his strikes and the intense heat of the black flames, the crimson stains clinging to the bones rapidly faded away. During that brief instant of scanning, Wei Yang spotted those strange characters engraved on three ribs.
"There are three ribs with strange characters on them!"
The writing engraved upon those three ribs… was the true Heaven Grade Dou Technique.
After confirming the situation and locking onto his target, Wei Yang didn't linger any longer, lest anyone else notice something unusual. In the next instant, he shifted his footing and retreated swiftly, dodging the skeletal hand that came slashing down like a sharpened blade.
The battle raged on.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Vast waves of Dou Qi streaked through the air like meteors, slamming heavily against the Dou Sheng skeleton's body before exploding outward.
The terrifying energy shockwaves rampaged wildly, tearing the surrounding space apart while cracking the incomparably hard floor of the great hall, leaving fissures as thick as an arm.
Under the combined, relentless bombardment from Wei Yang and the other four, the crimson hue covering the skeleton's body grew dimmer and dimmer.
But strangely, the red glow in its eye sockets instead began to flare more and more violently, like a candle burning its last light before going out.
Seeing this, Wei Yang, who had been watching closely all along, couldn't help but feel his eyelid twitch violently.
It's coming!
Finally, at a certain moment, the skeleton's body suddenly froze still. When the Dou Sheng skeleton abruptly stopped moving, Qiong Tian Zun and the others were momentarily stunned, but quickly seized the chance, unleashing a downpour of attacks without pause.
Wei Yang, however, felt his pupils constrict in an instant.
"Retreat!"
He transmitted his voice to Xiao Yan, and his figure shot backward, leaving behind streaking afterimages as he retreated swiftly toward the hall's exit. Seeing this, Xiao Yan followed without hesitation.
"Everyone, retreat! Leave the hall immediately!"
After pulling back some distance, Wei Yang shouted aloud. The shout stunned everyone momentarily.
Tang Zhen reacted the fastest—he didn't ask why, just immediately shot backward at full speed. The others, after a brief moment of confusion, finally realized what was happening and started rushing toward the exit as well.
Roar~
Terrifying blasts erupted like fireworks across the Dou Sheng skeleton's body. It paused for just an instant before suddenly raising its skull high, letting out a hoarse, ancient voice that seemed to echo from the distant ages of antiquity.
A visible ripple of sound spread slowly outward.
"Great Heaven Creation Palm!"
The broken, raspy, ancient voice entered everyone's ears, making their hair stand on end.
An overwhelming sense of danger suddenly surged from deep within their souls. Faced with this instinctive terror of death, everyone almost reflexively turned around and bolted madly toward the hall's exit.
"He's about to unleash a Dou Technique! Run!"
The black-robed elder of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, Qiong Tian Zun, screamed in horror, clutching his head as he fled in panic.
"Bastard!"
Seeing Wei Yang and Xiao Yan—who had already started retreating earlier and were now almost at the hall's entrance—Qiong Tian Zun's face darkened with rage, and he cursed furiously.
But curse or not, his speed of escape was by no means slow. In just a flash, he too had darted out over a hundred meters.
For a moment, the entire hall descended into utter chaos as everyone scrambled for their lives, stumbling and tumbling over one another in their desperate rush toward the door.
Amid the chaos—
The crimson hue covering the Dou Sheng skeleton suddenly seemed to come alive, surging entirely toward its right hand.
In the blink of an eye, the blood-like color completely drenched that skeletal palm, as if it had been soaked in blood for countless years, emanating a chillingly dark and sinister aura.
Roar~
When the final trace of crimson gathered into its palm, a tiny black dot—about the size of a marble—suddenly appeared in the center of its hand.
That black dot was so pure and deep that just looking at it seemed to draw one's very soul into its darkness—it was unspeakably eerie.
As the black sphere formed, the Dou Sheng skeleton abruptly raised its right hand and smashed it down upon the space before it.
When the skeletal palm landed, there was no sound—no explosion, no shockwave. But in that instant, the space beneath it silently shattered, forming a small black hole.
Buzz~
A black ring of light suddenly expanded outward.
Chi chi chi~
As the black halo spread, everyone was so terrified that their souls nearly left their bodies. Because wherever that black ring of light touched—whether it was the hard stone slabs on the floor, the towering stone pillars nearby, or anything else—it all vanished in an instant!
That disappearance was absolute, in the truest sense of the word—without leaving even the slightest trace behind. It felt as though a black hole were spreading across the space—mysterious and terrifying.
"Holy crap, that move…" Wei Yang's eyes widened, and he muttered in disbelief, "Spatial Decay?!"
Everything the light ring passed over was swallowed silently, without a sound.
"Run!"
Such a horrifying scene made everyone's scalp go numb.
Even though every person present was at least a Dou Zun, in front of that black light ring, they all felt as fragile as newborn infants—completely devoid of the will to resist.
When they saw that the black halo was still spreading outward at a terrifying speed, their hearts clenched violently as they turned and fled for their lives. However—
"Ahhh~!"
"No!"
They ran fast, but the black light ring expanded even faster. Even worse, within that black halo erupted an incomparably dreadful suction force.
"Help me~!"
Three unprepared Dou Zun experts were instantly pulled backward, their bodies dragged helplessly toward the light ring. The moment they touched it, they vanished completely—without even a speck of dust left behind. That was not the end.
Those three were only the first victims, but clearly not the last. Shrill, terrified screams echoed throughout the great hall one after another. Silhouettes thrashed wildly in midair, unleashing desperate bursts of power, even burning their own Dou Qi in panic.
Yet it was all useless—they were like insects caught in a spider's web, struggling in vain, unable to break free from that horrifying suction force. One after another, they were dragged backward and swallowed by the black ring of light, completely annihilated.
Hearing the screams behind him, Wei Yang couldn't help feeling his scalp crawl. This Heaven Grade Dou Technique, unleashed even by a mere remnant soul of a Dou Sheng, was terrifying beyond belief.
Buzz~
His body, racing forward at full speed, suddenly jerked slightly.
Wei Yang's brow twitched. The suction behind him was growing stronger and stronger—it had already caught up to him, slowing his movements.
"Hmph!"
Wei Yang let out a low snort as his muscles trembled violently. In that instant, he fully unleashed the tremendous strength of his physical body, tearing himself free from the suction and surging forward even faster.
Whoosh!
He shot out of the hall like lightning.
Roar~!
Right behind him, Xiao Yan, surrounded by a purple-brown fire dragon, also tore himself free from the suction and charged out safely.
Neither of them dared to stop. After escaping the hall, they kept sprinting forward until they reached the edge of the corridor behind the outer plaza before finally slowing down.
Several Dou Zong experts who had remained outside were standing there; their faces filled with horror as they watched everything unfold.
"Are you two alright?" Qing Lin, leading Zi Yan and Ah Da—who had come out earlier—hurriedly approached.
"We're fine," Wei Yang and Xiao Yan both shook their heads.
Then, they turned around to look behind them. From within, shrill screams of agony continued to echo, as one figure after another was dragged helplessly toward the expanding black light ring. Those last, despairing cries before death chilled everyone's hearts to the core.
The black light ring spread outward from the center of the hall like a reaper's vortex, devouring and obliterating everything in its path.
The massive, towering hall itself was visibly collapsing into nothingness before their eyes—completely annihilated.
Boom!
A sea of silver flames surged upward, shooting straight into the sky.
Roar~!
Nine silver fire dragons bellowed furiously. A figure stood atop the nine dragons, charging madly toward the outside of the hall. Feeling the suction behind him grow stronger and stronger, Tang Zhen gritted his teeth and suddenly turned around.
Fierce blasts of energy erupted wildly from his hands, violently colliding with the air ahead. Each explosion of Dou Qi and silver flame created a massive pushback, propelling Tang Zhen backward at high speed.
However, the instant those flames and energy blasts came into contact with the spreading black ring, they were instantly extinguished—unable to even slow its expansion for a heartbeat.
"Nine Dragons Annihilate the World!"
Tang Zhen's veins bulged on his forehead as he slammed his palms forward.
Roar~!
Nine enormous silver fire dragons roared forth, their tails whipping back to strike Tang Zhen squarely in the chest.
Under that immense impact, Tang Zhen's body was flung backward like a cannonball—finally bursting past the limits of the great hall and crashing heavily onto the plaza outside.
The nine fire dragons exploded violently behind him. But that terrifying energy, upon touching the black light ring, was immediately and silently erased from existence.
