Xuan Hu’s single finger descended with infinite pressure, a force supremely potent surging toward Chen Feng’s body. With no room for surprise, Chen Feng had absolutely no time to evade or defend.

“Crack, crack…” A series of crisp sounds echoed continuously; the "Divine Mansion of Light," under the strike of that one finger, shattered completely! Chen Feng himself was struck as if by lightning, blasted backward by the overwhelming power, slamming into a fractured mountain peak, his body embedding itself two meters deep into the stone.

“Whoosh…” Debris, accompanied by the mountain’s slight tremor, tumbled down from the peak, all falling into the dark, dense woods below. The “Divine Mansion of Light” had remained unharmed even amidst spatial turbulence, utterly unfazed by the full-force assault of Lord Ziyuan; Chen Feng had always believed it indestructible, yet the opponent shattered it into countless fragments with a single gesture!

It seemed the gap between the peak of the Saint Realm and the God Level was indeed immense, even if this deity was currently injured. If Chen Feng had remained hidden inside the “Divine Mansion of Light” without expanding his domain, there would have been no issue.

But the domain controlled the Mansion; under the violent attack, the Mansion broke, severely impacting the domain, which instantly fractured like glass, dissolving into innumerable shards. One had to remember the profound connection between the domain and the physical body.

As the domain shattered, he simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood—severely wounded! Back when Ling Feng’s domain shattered during her battle with Tianfeng Academy Dean Xia Liubinqing, she immediately fell unconscious; if not for his blood, she might have died then.

This illustrated the devastating injury a shattered domain inflicted upon a Dou Zun. Chen Feng's cultivation was robust, and within him resided the mutated power of the Dark Vortex.

Although he did not lose consciousness, the intense pain nearly caused him to pass out. “Using divine power against a junior!

Jin Xuan Hu, you are utterly despicable!” the voice of Yan Long roared from within the Demon Core. The pure soul power vibrated the air, sending an “Ohm, ohm” echo through the surrounding peaks.

Accompanying the roar, countless Purple-Winged Bats suddenly soared up from the forest below. A dragon's roar had the effect of repelling enemies, and naturally, it also possessed the power of summoning; otherwise, how could it hold the status of the Four Great Divine Beasts based solely on its roar and might?

Purple-Winged Bats were low-level magical beasts, preferring to congregate in the dark recesses of mountains. Now summoned by Yan Long’s voice, they flew upward like an overwhelming, sky-obscuring dark cloud.

Chen Feng’s spirit was wilted, every bone in his body feeling as if it might break. He forced his body to remain suspended in the air, fighting the urge to fall.

“Hurry down! Below, past the bats, is the Blood Iron Ridge.

Inside, there is a magic formation I set up long ago; if we can enter, we will escape!” Yan Long’s voice echoed in Chen Feng’s mind. The path to the Myriad Beast Cave required passing through the Misty Swamp and the Blood Iron Ridge.

He hadn't realized that after flying for such a long time—tens of thousands of miles—they had only just reached the Blood Iron Ridge. “Understood!” Chen Feng responded, suppressing the pain.

He unleashed his Void Movement Technique, plunging downward like a meteor, smashing directly into the oncoming swarm of Purple-Winged Bats. “Hiss, hiss…” Seeing the human silhouette in the air, these bats immediately lunged to tear and bite, with no regard for reason.

“Are these bats you summoned to deal with Jin Xuan Hu, or with me…” Chen Feng cried out internally. However, his descent was rapid; in under five seconds, he burst through the swarm.

The Purple-Winged Bats, possessing razor-sharp talons and steel beaks, were avoided even by high-level magical beasts, yet even Chen Feng’s body, tough as steel, was ripped and torn by these beasts until his flesh was bloody and his clothes shredded into tatters. “My mistake, my mistake.

I am merely a remnant soul; my control during the roar is weak now…” Yan Long apologized. “…” Chen Feng.

“Bang!” He crashed heavily into the forest below. “Move forward quickly!” Yan Long’s voice urged.

Chen Feng knew this was a life-or-death moment and stopped arguing. His muscles instantly bunched together, and he slammed his feet onto the ground, immediately darting forward.

This sudden exertion caused the injured areas of his body to erupt in gushing blood like fountains. After being struck by Jin Xuan Hu’s blow, his internal organs were all damaged.

The Dark Vortex power was busy repairing the internal injuries, leaving no capacity to deal with the muscular trauma. Blood flowed ceaselessly, Chen Feng’s lips grew dry, and his face paled further, the dizziness in his mind intensifying.

Had it not been for an overwhelming will to survive, he would have already blacked out. He had survived many life-or-death moments, but this was the first time he felt such utter powerlessness.

When facing Douglas or Alcius, although resistance was difficult, he at least held the Nether Feather Sword and the ): Bow, giving him something to fight with. Now, however, a sense of futility arose from the very core of his being.

Standing before a God-Level expert, he was no more significant than a humble ant, with no means to strike. Now that the “Divine Mansion of Light” was destroyed and the faith power in the crystal sphere was completely depleted, all his life-saving trump cards had been rendered useless by a single finger from the opponent!

“If I get caught, it’s over!” Chen Feng thought grimly, swiftly rushing in the direction Yan Long indicated. ………… “A swarm of beasts, daring to bite me!” Jin Xuan Hu roared.

The Purple-Winged Bats, which had covered the sky like a black cloud, simultaneously exploded into fragments, turning the air into a veritable rain of blood. Though fierce, these Purple-Winged Bats hadn't delayed him for even a moment!

“Flee? You think you can escape my grasp?” Jin Xuan Hu hovered in the air, sneering at Chen Feng darting through the woods.

He shifted his feet in a phantom step, and a bolt of electric light shot straight ahead, reappearing directly in front of the pursued. Trying to escape Jin Xuan Hu’s clutches was futile; his speed was too immense, almost unimaginable.

Jin Xuan Hu landed on the ground, his eyes emitting a golden light. A wave-like ripple quickly spread around his body, enveloping an area of ten kilometers.

The space within this zone immediately became extraordinarily viscous, and Chen Feng suddenly felt as if countless ropes were binding him, rendering him utterly immobile. “Jin Xuan Hu, you’re even deploying your God Domain—have you no shame?” Yan Long’s voice sounded from the Demon Core.

This ripple turned out to be the God Domain; no wonder he felt so out of place inside it. Jin Xuan Hu completely ignored Yan Long’s sarcasm and stated coldly, “If you don’t tell me how to remove this injury, I will sever one of his arms!” “Threatening me using a junior—Jin Xuan Hu, you certainly have class!” Yan Long roared furiously.

Jin Xuan Hu snorted, “If you’re not threatened, will you speak?” Yan Long was silent for a moment, then finally conceded, “You were injured by the Chaos Power I brought from the Chaos Star Valley. To remove this injury, you must enter the core of the lava, relying on intense heat to incinerate the Chaos Power within your body!” “Inside the flames?

You’re lying to me?” Jin Xuan Hu sneered. Having been tricked once, he was now extremely wary.

“Believe it or not!” Yan Long said angrily, falling silent afterward. “Hmph, the interior of the lava exceeds tens of thousands of degrees in temperature.

You want me to enter? Are you hoping I die more thoroughly?” Jin Xuan Hu remarked.

“Chaos Power is a unique force found only in the Chaos Star Valley; it’s bizarre and unpredictable. If it can’t be burned away by lava, are you suggesting we use cold water?” Yan Long retorted heatedly.

“Alright, I’ve told you. Whether you do it is your business.

Now retract your God Domain and let us leave!” “Leave?” A sinister grin spread across Jin Xuan Hu’s face. “You think I’ll believe that the lava can heal my injury just because you said so?” “Then what would make you believe it?” Yan Long asked.

“It’s simple!” Jin Xuan Hu smiled coldly. “I will transfer some of this strange power to your successor.

I want to see firsthand how you save him. I don't believe you would lie to the inheritor of your bloodline, would you!” “You’re insane!

He only has the strength of a Dou Zun; he cannot withstand the Chaos Power…” Yan Long roared. “If he can’t withstand it, he can only blame his bad luck!” Jin Xuan Hu chuckled sinisterly, raising the index finger of his right hand.

A drop of blood immediately appeared at the fingertip. This strange power was already integrated into his body, mingling with his blood.

If he intended to experiment on the other party, using blood was naturally necessary. Jin Xuan Hu controlled the blood drop and touched it precisely onto Chen Feng’s brow!

His speed was blinding, and with the God Domain active, Chen Feng had no way to dodge. He only felt a sharp pain at his brow, followed by a wave of scorching heat spreading through his entire body.

“Ah…” He screamed, clutching his head, his eyes instantly turning blood-red. A power that even a God-Level cultivator couldn't eliminate—how could a mere Dou Zun possibly reduce it?

After the agonizing cry, his body began to shake uncontrollably, and blood flowed continuously from his mouth; the entire person fell instantly into a coma. “You killed him!” Yan Long roared, directly manifesting a phantom form from the Demon Core.

He had appeared this way before when teaching Chen Feng his physical training exercises in the Tenfold Gravity Domain. Appearing in this form consumed tremendous energy, so he would only do so when absolutely necessary.

As soon as Yan Long’s phantom appeared, it immediately focused on the fallen Chen Feng, its soul power rapidly sweeping through his various acupoints with an astonishingly practiced hand—evidently some special secret technique of his. In his remnant soul form, his expression initially showed strangeness, which then grew increasingly solemn.

After a long moment, he let out a breath. “I told you the truth.

The Chaos Power can indeed only be neutralized by lava. I will take him there now—to the heart of the lava at the Myriad Beast Cave!” With that, his soul gathered a sliver of energy, suspending Chen Feng’s body and flying forward continuously.

Jin Xuan Hu maintained his God Domain, unconcerned whether the other party might escape. No matter how powerful the soul power, how could it evade his tracking?

Especially since the other party was only a remnant soul, its entire power supplied by a Saint Realm Demon Core! This flight speed was not fast.

After traveling for about half an hour, they reached a dense forest. Yan Long’s remnant soul suddenly spun around and dove directly into Chen Feng’s body!

Under its control, Chen Feng’s body abruptly stood up. He forcefully stamped his feet on the ground and, biting his finger, made a mark in the air!

“Ohm…” A sound of violent vibration echoed ahead. Instantly, thousands of bright lights shot out from the dense woods, and a hazy grand formation materialized before their eyes.

“A magic array?” Jin Xuan Hu was stunned; he had never expected Yan Long to have prepared a magic array here. Yan Long’s remnant soul, controlling Chen Feng, did not pause but rushed straight toward the formation; once inside, escape would be certain.

“Trying to enter an Illusion Array? That won’t be so easy!” Jin Xuan Hu roared.

With a sweep of his large hand, the expanded God Domain instantly trapped Chen Feng’s body in mid-air. “To be able to set up an array here, Yan Long, you are indeed formidable.

However, a remnant soul like you, and a Dou Zun like him—no matter how you coordinate, how can you contend with me, a God-Level expert?” Jin Xuan Hu’s face twisted cruelly. “I have given you multiple chances, yet you refuse to tell me the truth.

Therefore, I have decided to spare you no longer!” Saying this, he gently pushed against Chen Feng’s chest with his large hand. “Crack, crack…” A few sharp sounds followed; all of Chen Feng’s ribs shattered, and blood streamed once more from his mouth and nose as he fell heavily to the ground.

“You are merciless!” Yan Long roared. “Today, even if I must burn my remnant soul, I will teach you a lesson!” With that declaration, Yan Long’s pure, peerless soul power ignited instantly.

This powerful soul energy began circulating through all of Chen Feng’s meridians. Yet, as soon as it circulated, he discovered something bizarre.

Chen Feng’s body was not responding to his control! Logically, having burned his remnant soul, he should have achieved complete mastery over Chen Feng’s body.

Conversely, Chen Feng, with his eyes tightly shut and his mind still in a comatose state, was nevertheless allowing his aura to rapidly ascend, fueled by the power of Yan Long’s remnant soul. A fierce, purplish-red flame erupted around his entire body.

The rock beneath his feet cracked and pulverized under the intense heat with sharp “snap, snap” sounds. “Puff…” The surrounding withered branches and trees simultaneously burst into flames.

“What is happening?” Jin Xuan Hu’s eyes were filled with horror. Before he could react, the purplish-red figure before him seemed to transcend the boundaries of space and time, instantly appearing right in front of him.

Stranger still, the space around the figure seemed locked, leaving Jin Xuan Hu utterly unable to move! “Bang…” A dazzling white light flashed, and Chen Feng’s flame-like right fist hammered toward Jin Xuan Hu!

A Dou Zun attempting to strike a God-Level master with his fist? What difference was that from an ant trying to bite an elephant to death?

It was utter self-overestimation! Although Jin Xuan Hu’s body was paralyzed, a trace of mockery flickered in his eyes; he paid no heed to the incoming punch.

A divine body, nourished by divine power, could not possibly be harmed by the explosive force of a mortal body! Bang!

Bang! Bang!

Several muffled thuds sounded in succession. Chen Feng’s fists smashed violently against Jin Xuan Hu’s body.

“Ah…” Jin Xuan Hu’s eyes widened in disbelief as he felt the impact from his attacker, blood spewing frantically from his mouth. Chen Feng’s eyes remained tightly shut, seemingly throwing this set of punches unconsciously, driven purely by instinct.

An unconscious, autonomous set of movements! Indeed!

It was the divine skill of the Kyo family of the Fist Emperor! *Ultimate Battle Secret Style ps: More tonight...
