Realm-Hopping Martial Master

For cultivators, especially those at the profound level of the Vientiane Realm, such an explosion is already consuming their foundation.

The essence blood he forced out just now is equivalent to the essence he cultivated for a hundred years, now lost in an instant. To replenish it in the future would require several times the time and cost!

More importantly, using origin blood to forcibly enhance his strength can only bring temporary effects. When his power diminishes later, his cultivation will inevitably fall into decline, possibly damaging his foundation irreversibly with a small or even a major realm drop!

Originally, this perilous secret technique—with endless future troubles—was a life-saving trump card Zong Yue prepared for himself when he would one day find himself in desperate straits.

But under the overwhelming pressure of Qiu Taoguang and the True Monarchs of the Demon Sect and Demon Clan, he was forced to use it.

The grief and anger that arose in his heart at this moment were self-evident.

Seeing Zong Yue suddenly go berserk, annihilating several of his own people in an instant and reversing the unfavorable situation for the Eight Great Sects' team, Qiu Taoguang's face immediately turned as black as a pot.

"I didn't expect you still had tricks up your sleeve at this point."

With his brows tightly furrowed, Qiu Taoguang bit his teeth hard, a viciousness rising between his eyebrows.

"Hmph! If you were truly allowed to escape with your people, then all the painstaking efforts I've put into cultivating this Disaster Dao Inheritance would have been for naught!"

With a sinister smile, Qiu Taoguang opened his mouth wide, and a powerful suction erupted from deep within his throat, shockingly absorbing all the raging Three Calamities Karma Fire into his body with an extremely shocking posture!

The Power of Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations swiftly surged into his limbs and bones along his meridians, and the Vientiane Realm aura surging around him suddenly flared up like a volcanic eruption!

Immediately after, just as Zong Yue's murderous gaze was cast toward the Lord Heavenly Phoenix, who had struck Tang Yi, causing him to spurt blood and fly backward, preparing to use thunderous means to slay him, Qiu Taoguang's momentum had already reached an extreme. His eyes sharpened, and the Disaster Dao spiraling above him suddenly erupted. With a wave of his sleeve, boundless Evil Qi condensed into Primordial Power Arrows, shooting fiercely towards the majestic figure in the distance!

"Zong Yue! Die for me!"

The roar echoed through the skies as Qiu Taoguang mobilized the Power of Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, infusing it all into the Evil Qi Arrows. The black mist surged and spread, faintly emitting countless sinister wails and moans, and the terrifyingly violent offensive was enough to annihilate any Peak True Monarch of the Nirvana Realm!

Locked on by this absolute Evil Qi from afar, a sense of dread arose in Zong Yue's heart, immediately feeling a chill permeate his entire body, causing him to tremble slightly. His previously forming offensive was thus interrupted!

In his pupils, the Primordial Power Arrow hidden in the thick black mist of Evil Qi rapidly enlarged, experiencing the intense battles earlier. Zong Yue had already recognized Qiu Taoguang's strength and didn't dare to be careless at all, having no choice but to quickly mobilize the Power of Great Dao, laying down layers of barriers before him, shifting from offense to defense to ensure his protection!

"Bang!"

The next moment, the incomparably sharp Primordial Power Arrow shot angrily, causing ripples to emanate from the barrier Zong Yue had condensed outside his body. Violent energy poured out, blasting him repeatedly backward, despite his continuous roars and full exertion, all to no avail!

No solution, though Zong Yue had extraordinary talent, he was still overpowered when faced with the inheritance left by that Ancient Demon Sect's foremost Demon Lord!

This was the disparity in foundation, far beyond human capability!

Scoring a hit, Qiu Taoguang pressed forward aggressively, with Three Calamities Karma Fire fiercely surging in his palms, launching a ferocious attack on the vital points of Zong Yue's body!

The hope of victory that Zong Yue painstakingly built was also completely shattered as he was once again suppressed by Qiu Taoguang's formidable strength!

Consequently, seeing Qiu Taoguang completely suppress the wildly retaliating Zong Yue, the true inheritors of the Demon Sect and the Demon Clan Commander immediately felt invigorated, whereas the surviving members of the Eight Great Sects as their opponents could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts, plunging into utter despair!

The brutal fight resumed, virtually taking on the appearance of a one-sided slaughter!

With fighting spirit completely depleted, the members of the Eight Great Sects, under the siege of the Demon Sect and Demon Clan, suffered heavy casualties in just a moment, miserably and tragically!

Even while some were still striving to hold on, everyone knew clearly in their hearts that the momentum was gone, and only doom awaited them!

Until, in the sky, mighty demon power exploded, and a scream suddenly echoed out!

"No!!!"

This scream was extremely familiar, making the Eight Great Sects collectively shudder in their hearts. They immediately looked towards the place where the demonic power was rampant, and after seeing the situation there clearly, intense horror arose in the eyes of every frightened soul!

They saw the sinister apparition behind the Lord Heavenly Phoenix roar angrily to the sky, a torrent of boundless demon energy gush forth from its body, tearing space with a colossal claw covered in scale armor, directly smashing through Tang Yi's solid defenses around his body, striking heavily on his form!

This was the scene those from the Eight Great Sects least wanted to see; Daoist Monarch Tang Yi, already injured, was indeed the first to become the breach in their ranks!

"Pfft!"

Under the mighty blow, blood spurted wildly from Tang Yi's mouth, his body plummeting abruptly from the sky like a blood-colored meteor, crashing heavily into the canyon below, stirring up a huge cloud of dust!

On the muddy ground, a giant pit several feet wide was formed, with Tang Yi lying on his back inside it. Gaping wounds burst open on his body, blood gushing like a spring, the Power of Great Dao disintegrated, and his aura had already weakened to the extreme, looking utterly wretched at a glance.

"Gasp..."

Breathing rapidly, bubbles mixed with droplets of blood splattered out. Even though Tang Yi still wanted to endure the injuries within and forcibly hold his body upright, the intense pain emanating from all over made him tremble all over, even his spirit became hazy, unable to make any movement, with no trace of the exceptional demeanor of a Realm Daoist Monarch of the Vientiane.

Above the giant pit, the Lord Heavenly Phoenix revealed himself, eyes lowered, staring coldly at Daoist Monarch Jin Feng below, whose body was covered in dirt, clothes tattered, and hair disheveled, the indifferent gaze devoid of any emotion, yet a sneering arc slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth as he spoke faintly:

"Dao Yi Sect, Vientiane Realm? That's all there is to it."

Before the words could land, killing intent surged between Lord Heavenly Phoenix's eyebrows, and his right palm suddenly pressed down, the colossal demon beast shadow behind him moving along with him. With a destructive force, a giant claw covered the sky, crashing furiously towards the canyon!

"Boom!"

The canyon trembled violently, billowing smoke and dust rose to the skies, terrifying power waves swept in all directions, and the faint aura belonging to Tang Yi also completely vanished at this moment!

Thus, Tang Yi, the newly minted Daoist Monarch Jin Feng, fell, becoming the first Daoist Monarch of the Vientiane Realm to die within the Eight Great Sects in recent years!

"Daoist Monarch Jin Feng!"

"Elder Tang!"

Sensing what happened in the canyon, the surviving members of the Eight Great Sects couldn't help but cry out in mourning.

Of course, aside from the true inheritors of Dao Yi Sect, others probably had no significant connection with Tang Yi, but as the saying goes, "The death of the rabbit makes the fox mourn." With Tang Yi's death, the team lost the only one who could frontally withstand Lord Heavenly Phoenix, and the tragic fate they would face was undoubtedly sealed.

Between life and death lies great terror. The higher the cultivation of the cultivator, the more they cherish life, and under such extreme threats of death, few could maintain a calm mind.

"Hoo—"

Having killed Tang Yi with a palm, the Lord Heavenly Phoenix finally let out a long breath. Although his face was slightly pale, with more than half of his primordial power consumed and several tragic wounds on his body continuously oozing blood, an uncontrollable look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

To be able to decisively kill a powerhouse of the same realm, such a feat was extraordinarily rare even among the Demon Clan. Although there was a reason that Tang Yi had already been severely injured by Qiu Taoguang, the result still filled him with immense excitement.

Then, the Lord Heavenly Phoenix shifted his gaze towards the sky, where the battlefield continued to emit intense Power of Great Dao fluctuations.
