Before Bagushidu could rush forward and redouble his assault, a furious roar came from behind him, so loud that it seemed to crack the fabric of space.

“Bagushidu, you dare!”

Wang Chong’s eyes had turned crimson and his entire body seethed with killing intent.

Rumble! Wang Chong fiercely swung the sword, and as if in response to Wang Chong’s thoughts, the Origin Immortal Sword exploded with light. At this moment, not even Wang Chong realized that a brand-new energy infused with a formidable law was fusing with his Stellar Energy.

Sensing the terrifying anger and killing intent coming from behind him, Bagushidu grimaced, a hint of panic in his eyes. With no time to think, Bagushidu gave up on capturing the Wushang Village Chief and Demonic Emperor Old Man, gathered up all the energy in the three Earthblood Cauldrons, and launched it at Wang Chong.

The three cauldrons were completely emptied!

Bagushidu’s right hand formed a spell, causing the three cauldrons to rumble and groan, the air around them howling forward.

A moment later, there was a tremendous explosion. Two streaks of destructive energy had slammed into each other like comets.

“So powerful!”

Bagushidu felt his shoulders sink as if a mountain had slammed into him, and his face paled.

He could clearly sense that Wang Chong’s attack was getting more and more powerful. The Origin Immortal Sword was erupting with more strength with every strike and becoming harder and harder to block.

Kaclack!

At the same time, the cracking sound ringing in his ear made Bagushidu alarmed and angry. Each strike of Wang Chong’s sword was causing a crack on one of the Earthblood Cauldrons, and these cracks were getting larger and longer. What Bagushidu found most unacceptable was that none of this damage could be repaired.

The supreme ritual tool passed down through generations of the Earth Sect, which had been perfectly preserved for centuries, would ultimately suffer such irreparable damage in his hands! Bagushidu could not accept this!

“Earthblood Curse!”

Bagushidu hated Wang Chong down to his bones, and he now immediately chose to use a powerful forbidden curse of the Earth Sect. For the price of a part of one’s essence blood and soul, he could boost the power of the Earthblood Cauldrons to another level.

After using this curse, he would need to rest for three to five months, and his mind would suffer irreparable damage. The ritual tool itself would suffer a plunge in power for at least a year. But Bagushidu could no longer worry about such consequences.

As long as he could eliminate Wang Chong, it would all be worth it.

Moreover, if he didn’t stop Wang Chong now, the three Earthblood Cauldrons would probably be destroyed!

Fwoosh!

Bagushidu bit down on his tongue, mixed his essence blood with his pure Stellar Energy, and then spat it at the three Earthblood Cauldrons.

“King of Foreign Lands, this king will have you die!”

Bagushidu stared at Wang Chong, a fire burning in his eyes. But just as he was about to activate the Earthblood Curse, communicating with the veins on their surface, so that he could completely destroy Wang Chong, he was suddenly thrown into disarray.

Buzz!

With no warning, the auras of the three Earthblood Cauldrons became chaotic, and the blood Bagushidu spat onto them failed to seep in.

Bagushidu had formed an extremely sturdy connection with the Earthblood Cauldrons, borrowing their immense power to break into the Dark Radiant Heaven, possessing an energy that was equal to the Subtle realm’s.

But at this moment, the three cauldrons fell out of his control, the inscriptions and runes the many sect masters of the Earth Sect had applied to them seemingly having been rendered useless. Without the help of the three Earthblood Cauldrons, Bagushidu could feel his body suddenly emptying, and before he could react, he had fallen back to his original half-step Subtle realm cultivation level.

“How could this be?!”

Bagushidu yelped in alarm and rapidly retreated, his face ghastly pale. He had lost his domineering and proud demeanor.

“How could this be? How could the Origin Immortal Sword possess this kind of ability?”

Bagushidu’s mind was reeling, and he stared at the Origin Immortal Sword like it was a monster.

He had gathered a great deal of information regarding the Origin Immortal Sword, but he had never heard about the sword possessing the ability to disrupt and nullify ritual tools.

Bagushidu had known nothing about this side of the divine sword!

The power of the Origin Immortal Sword was simply absurd. It had even surpassed the ritual tool of the Earth Sect!

For the first time, Bagushidu felt like he could not defeat Wang Chong and the Origin Immortal Sword, and he began to feel a hint of fear.

Just how could a divine sword like this exist? With this sword, my ritual tool is useless! I have to leave!

Bagushidu had always deeply hungered for the Origin Immortal Sword, but now, he finally began to hesitate. Before, he would have been completely unafraid while fighting Wang Chong, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, and the Wushang Village Chief, but now that his Earthblood Cauldrons were being suppressed by the Origin Immortal Sword, he could no longer contend with three half-step Subtle experts.

“Bagushidu, you think you can escape?”

Wang Chong roared, his sharp eyes having already sensed Bagushidu’s intent. But Bagushidu was a man who smiled as he hid a knife behind his back. Whether it was for himself or for the Great Tang, Wang Chong could not let this man go!

Void Movement Technique!

Wang Chong immediately used the technique he had learned from the men in black to pursue Bagushidu, fiercely swinging the sword he gripped in both hands.

Boomboomboom!

Waves of Stellar Energy spread outward and fierce winds howled. Amidst the thick fog, Wang Chong and Bagushidu fiercely battled, the chains under their feet constantly shuddering, threatening to cast them into the abyss at any moment.

Wang Chong rained attacks down at Bagushidu, and Bagushidu simply had nowhere to run.

Wang Chong’s Origin Immortal Sword struck Bagushidu’s Earthblood Cauldrons several dozen times in a series of metallic clangs. Each time, the sword left another crack on one of the Earthblood Cauldrons.

Each attack placed immense pressure on the Earthblood Cauldrons, and after this barrage of attacks, the cauldrons were covered in obvious cracks, some of them as wide as a finger. They seemed ready to fall apart at any moment.

“King of Foreign Lands, you madman!”

Bagushidu’s hair wildly swept out behind him, his entire body brimming with shock and anger. Wang Chong was attacking in a frenzy, and a dark-red circle of Stellar Energy was madly howling around him.

On his shoulders resided the dazzling emblematic sun and moon of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art.

Now that Wang Chong had fully recovered, the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art was fully expressing its savage side. All the energy in the surrounding area was being pulled to him, with even Bagushidu’s black Stellar Energy showing signs of being pulled away.

Without the protective power of the Earthblood Cauldrons, Bagushidu found it difficult to resist the domineering power of Wang Chong’s Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art!

“Bagushidu, accept your fate!”

Wang Chong’s voice was cold and utterly devoid of emotion.

Bang!

Suddenly, Stellar Energy in the form of waves and bolts came from the rear. The Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief had joined the assault, not speaking a word.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bagushidu’s Stellar Energy was rapidly consumed under the attack of these three top-class experts, and he no longer even had time to speak.

And this was still far from over. Just when Bagushidu was hastily attempting a defense, there was another roar.

“Gonggong Divine Art!”

A massive whirlpool formed in the air, fusing together with a destructive energy, and in the center of this whirlpool was the indistinct form of a trident.

At this crucial moment, the Lone Silence Ancestor had finally struck.

There were only the two chains suspended over the abyss, leaving very little area to move around and making it very difficult to find the right time and angle to strike. Thus, the Lone Silence Ancestor had chosen not to act up until now, using his Water Element arts to conceal his energy and wait for the right time.

Boom!

The attacks of three mighty martial artists of the present era combined together, slamming into Bagushidu’s Stellar Energy barrier with explosive force.

Not even someone of Bagushidu’s ability could withstand this combined strike.

Thumpthumpthump! Bagushidu’s body trembled as he staggered backward. His breathing was ragged and he felt a surge of blood making its way up his throat, but he swallowed it back down.

If it were just these three experts alone, Bagushidu would have barely been able to manage, but Wang Chong’s full-force assault was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
