The Black Lotus slowly spun, its petals unfurling one by one. The surrounding space seemed to darken with it, and the spiritual energy in the world surged, gathering into the Black Lotus.
Liu Jingshan's bloodshot, ferocious beast eyes also became unusually restless. He had clearly sensed a deathly aura emanating from this Black Demonic Lotus.
At this moment, he could only resist with all his might. He was certain this was Mu Chen's final gambit. As long as he could withstand it, then Mu Chen would be at his mercy!
"Howl!"
A roar filled with murderous intent echoed, vast and surging. The vicious power within him erupted, and his two dog heads opened wide, looking menacing.
Crimson flames and black winds converged in the two gaping mouths. The air around him became twisted and distorted.
Everyone below watched the scene with great anxiety. They could see that both powerful cultivators high above had unleashed their ultimate abilities.
"Black Dragon Wind Fire Kill!"
The spiritual energy in Liu Jingshan's body was completely drained as he channeled it outwards. In the two gaping mouths, the crimson flames and black winds expanded to several hundred zhang.
"Boom!"
The sky trembled as two streaks, a fire dragon and a black wind dragon, roared forth from those two mouths.
The two giant dragons soared high, coiling and intertwining. The twin dragons converged, fire following the wind's momentum, unleashing terrifying spiritual energy that instilled fear in all who witnessed it.
This was undoubtedly Liu Jingshan's most powerful offensive ability!
The twin dragons, carrying world-altering spiritual energy, shot straight towards the Black Demonic Lotus high above, leaving two long, brilliant tails in their wake.
The Black Demonic Lotus slowly unfurled its final petal.
Darkness permeated, as if corroding the very air, gathering within the Black Lotus. From its heart, a stream of black liquid seemed to drip down.
The profound darkness suddenly intensified.
Suddenly, the Black Demonic Lotus vibrated violently, and a hundred-zhang-long stream of darkness silently shot out.
This stream of darkness didn't possess overly violent spiritual energy. Instead, it resembled a black column of water pouring down from above onto the two roaring, ferocious dragons, forcefully striking the wind-fire twin dragons.
"Bang!"
A massive spiritual energy halo, a thousand zhang wide, erupted, illuminating the entire world.
"Graowww!"
The twin dragons roared, desperately charging and attacking. The extremely violent spiritual energy poured out, trying with all its might to tear apart the black column of water. However, no matter how powerful the twin dragons were, the stream of darkness remained unscathed, like an unshakeable, colossal black pillar.
Liu Jingshan's unease grew as he witnessed this scene. The stream of darkness didn't possess an astonishing momentum, yet it made him feel a chill deep in his heart.
Far away, Mu Chen calmly watched the battle. His finger moved gently. The Black Lotus in the air suddenly bloomed completely, transforming into a thick black liquid that merged into the stream of darkness.
The Black Lotus dissipated, and the stream of darkness now bore dazzling Black Lotus patterns.
The darkness erupted, and the wind-fire twin dragons let out tragic roars, countless cracks appearing on them.
Liu Jingshan's pupils contracted violently.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering explosion echoed as the ferocious stream of darkness pierced through the wind-fire twin dragons.
At that very instant, Liu Jingshan's terror of death became utterly clear.
Threatened by death, he immediately acted, transforming into a streak of darkness and retreating. He knew very well that if that stream of darkness touched him, a Heaven Fusion Stage expert like him would undoubtedly die!
Liu Jingshan’s escape sent a wave of terror through the stunned onlookers below, especially Liu Qingtian and his group, whose faces had turned ashen.
“Trying to run?”
Mu Chen’s eyes locked onto Liu Jingshan with a chilling gaze. He had exhausted every possible method to push Liu Jingshan to the brink of death. If the old man were allowed to escape, all his efforts would be for naught. If Liu Jingshan recovered even a little, Mu Chen would no longer be able to borrow the power of the Nine Netherbird.
Therefore, Liu Jingshan had to be completely annihilated at this very moment.
“Whoosh!”
A thick murderous aura, the dark energy that had just pierced through the Fire-Wind Twin Dragons, suddenly changed direction. Like a bolt of lightning, it shot across the sky at light speed, chasing after Liu Jingshan.
With lightning speed, it appeared behind the large dog in the blink of an eye.
“Nooooo…!”
Liu Jingshan screamed in terror, frantically channeling the remaining spiritual energy within him to form an enormous spiritual energy shield.
“Boom!”
The darkness surged forward indifferently, slamming into the spiritual energy shield.
“Clang!”
The shield, which had appeared incredibly sturdy, offered no resistance whatsoever. The dark energy, like a scythe of death, easily tore through the shield and then struck the body of the Twin-Headed Demonic Hound.
“Aaaaaah…!”
At that moment, Liu Jingshan shrieked in despair and fear, his piercing cry echoing through the heavens.
“Boom!”
The dark energy ignored his screams, forcefully and unhesitatingly piercing through Liu Jingshan’s body. Finally, it crashed into a distant, massive mountain, shattering its peak. The ground trembled, and the mountain instantly turned to dust.
The people, the powerful cultivators standing in Nine Domains City, were utterly silent.
For they saw that the Twin-Headed Demonic Hound, which had just been pierced by the dark energy, had completely vanished without a trace. Not a single bone remained.
It was as if he had been completely vaporized from the air.
The raging spiritual energy that had roared across the sky abruptly disappeared. The earth-shattering battle had ended swiftly.
Countless eyes still lingered on the empty space where Liu Jingshan’s figure had been just moments before. A powerful expert of the Heaven Fusion Stage, just like that, vanished?
Liu Qingtian, Liu Bobai, and the people of Liu Domain stared blankly at the empty space, dazed, bewildered, and trembling as they collapsed to the ground.
The grand scheme they had laid out, intending to establish a hegemonic empire and dominate the Northern Spiritual Realm… had been completely eradicated?
And all of it was due to that seemingly insignificant brat, Mu Chen!
“How… how could this be…”
Liu Qingtian’s voice trembled. The arrogant and domineering aura he once possessed was gone, replaced by unparalleled fear. Now, Liu Domain had officially offended all the forces in the Northern Spiritual Realm, yet the powerful expert they relied on had vanished. Their greatest support had collapsed. From now on, Liu Domain was surely doomed to a miserable fate in this Northern Spiritual Realm.
The three domain lords who had refrained from assisting Mu Feng earlier also took a deep breath, silently glancing at Liu Qingtian, then quietly distanced themselves. Clearly, Liu Domain’s power was lost, and they would be foolish to get involved with those people.
“Brother Mu Feng, I never expected your Mu Domain to conceal such formidable capabilities.”
Tang Shan was among the first to recover his composure. He looked at Mu Feng, unable to suppress the tremor in his voice as he spoke.
The surrounding domain lords also looked at Mu Feng with complex expressions, their awe clearly visible. They had been completely awed by Mu Chen's capabilities.
No wonder Mu Chen could become the only person in the Northern Spiritual Realm qualified to participate in the Spiritual Road.
Mu Feng could only grimace and smile at Tang Shan's words. This situation was completely unexpected by him; he had no idea what was going on, nor could he explain why Mu Chen possessed such earth-shshattering power...
In the sky, Mu Chen was also intently staring at the void where Liu Jingshan had just vanished. Only after confirming that Liu Jingshan's aura had completely disappeared did he let out a sigh of relief, shedding a heavy burden.
Immediately, as his body relaxed, the power within him receded like a tide. A severe weakness rapidly spread throughout his body, and intense pain felt as if it would tear his muscles apart.
The weakness surged into his brain, his body swayed, he lost consciousness, and fell straight down from the high altitude.
Mu Feng saw this, was startled, and quickly shot up, catching his blood-soaked son's body, gently landing on the ground.
"Uncle Mu, is he alright?"
Tang Tian'er also rushed over, her face paling at the sight of the blood-stained body, and she hastily asked.
"He's still breathing, but he's unconscious!"
Mu Feng checked him for a moment, then also let out a sigh, secretly feeling fortunate. Suddenly, his gaze met Tang Shan and the others, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"Tian'er, take care of this child."
Mu Feng let Tang Tian'er support Mu Chen. She hastily and clumsily took him, not caring about the blood on his head, and hugged his waist, her small hands fumbling to hold him tight. His strong body and masculine aura made her blush unconsciously, her beautiful eyes close to his sharp and handsome face, her heart involuntarily beating faster.
The domain lords standing nearby all looked at the people of the Liu Domain with malicious expressions. Some matters should come to an end; the Liu Domain's status in the Northern Spiritual Realm would surely decline rapidly from now on.
The fate of the Northern Spiritual Realm had changed once again. However, this situation was much better than being forcefully annexed by the Liu Domain.
And that situation was all thanks to the unconscious young man.
Several pairs of eyes looked at the body being supported by the beautiful young woman, secretly clicking their tongues, showing a hint of respect. The Young Lord of the Mu Domain had far surpassed his father; this was truly a blessing for the Mu Domain.
