At this moment, Xia Ritian's eyes erupted with black light that seized the soul.
The phantom of his Heaven and Earth Dharma Image suddenly split apart, transforming into nine black mysterious birds that spread their wings and soared straight upward.
Clearly, those nine black mysterious birds were racing toward that azure Grotto Heaven Small World.
"Boom—!"
Four vast and boundless powers violently collided in an instant, erupting with an earth-shattering roar.
The river bottom, already shattered beyond recognition, completely collapsed under the impact of that force.
The immense tremors spread like ripples, reaching hundreds of li away. The endless river water surged with them.
Within the muddy river water, countless clouds of silt rolled and churned, making visibility utterly unclear.
Lu Xuan stood within it, his body wrapped in a layer of deep-purple flame barrier, barely forcing open a small space amid the chaos.
Yet Lu Xuan looked exceedingly wretched.
The clothes on his upper body had long since turned to ash. Only a pair of badly tattered trousers remained, barely covering him.
Even this was the result of his desperately protecting himself.
The muscles on Lu Xuan's upper body were sharply defined, yet covered in countless tiny wounds, blood slowly seeping from them.
