"Cough, cough, cough..."

From within the ruins came several violent coughs. Before long, the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, and a trembling figure crawled to his feet.

Lu Changsheng's clothes were in tatters, blood spilling from his mouth and nose. The glow of his golden body had dimmed by more than half, and the Dragon Elephant Spirit on his chest had lost its vitality.

Clearly, after taking such a heavy palm strike from Qin Tianba, even the Dragon Elephant Golden Body's defenses had collapsed.

"This old bastard is far stronger than Qin Lie. The gap in our realms is simply too great!"

Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth inwardly.

Qin Tianba had long since entered the sixth level of Divine Palace Realm. Even with the Dragon Elephant Golden Body, it was difficult to cross such an enormous gap in cultivation.

"You little beast! Let's see who can save you this time!"

Qin Tianba's voice was icy, his gaze like that of a man-eating beast, filled with savage, overwhelming hatred.

"Lie'er! Today, Father will avenge you! I'll tear this little beast apart tendon by tendon, grind his bones to dust, and hack his corpse into ten thousand pieces!"

Boom!

Qin Tianba threw back his head and roared. The pressure of his eighth level of Divine Palace Realm cultivation erupted in an instant, making the entire plaza tremble violently as huge cracks split across the floor.

At this moment, Qin Tianba was completely consumed by towering hatred.

"Little Friend Lu, run!"

Zhou Qingtian roared.

"Hehehe, Zhou Qingtian, you should worry about yourself first!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor gave a cold laugh, and his attacks immediately became even fiercer.

Terrifying spiritual pressure swept over him like a tide. The floor beneath Lu Changsheng's feet kept cracking apart, while his body endured immense oppression.

Yet not a trace of panic appeared on Lu Changsheng's face.

"God Shattering Finger!"

Hum—

Qin Tianba gave a deep shout. Vast spiritual power surged like a flood, wildly gathering above his head and gradually condensing into an enormous golden finger seal.

Ancient patterns covered that golden finger seal, which emanated an extremely violent wave of destruction.

Although this God Shattering Finger did not reach the level of a Black-tier Martial Art, when wielded with Qin Tianba's formidable sixth level of Divine Palace Realm strength, it was even more terrifying than Qin Lie's Sky-Splitting Sacred Lion Claw!

At this moment, Lu Changsheng seemed to smell the stench of death itself.

"Little beast, use your life to honor Lie'er. Die for me!"

Boom!

Qin Tianba shouted furiously, then struck out with his palm. The God Shattering Finger immediately descended from the sky, pressing down upon Lu Changsheng with destructive force!

"Hahaha! Old bastard, if you want to kill me, you're not qualified enough!"

Lu Changsheng laughed loudly. He then took a deep breath and rapidly formed hand seals. At that moment, a sun-like radiance suddenly erupted from within his dantian.

Boom!

A scorching, domineering, terrifying surge of energy continuously burst forth from within his dantian. At its center was a palm-sized crimson sun!

It turned out that while refining the Solar True Essence, Lu Changsheng had forcibly suppressed himself every time he was about to break through. Moreover, he had sealed the power of the Nine Yang True Essence within his dantian. Now, he was going to release that power completely!

Boom!

An intense radiance erupted from Lu Changsheng's body, enveloping the entire plaza within it.

The domineering, scorching power melted the plaza floor into lava!

"What is going on?!"

Qin Tianba's pupils contracted.

Zhou Qingtian and the others also turned toward the sight, shock filling their faces. Even they secretly felt alarmed by that powerful energy fluctuation!

They looked over to see Lu Changsheng shrouded in light, his entire body radiating blazing golden brilliance. The power of the Nine Yang True Essence had been fully released within his dantian, transforming into an endless torrent of energy that flooded into every limb and bone!

Lu Changsheng spread his arms. Like a child of the sun, he stood bathed in blazing sunlight as the endless energy merged with him, his aura rising without cease.

Boom!

Ninth level of Core Condensation Realm!

Boom!

First level of Divine Palace Realm!

Boom!

Second Level of Divine Palace Realm!

At that moment, breakthroughs crashed over him like raging tides. One realm after another was broken through in succession, until he swiftly reached the fourth level of Divine Palace Realm!

"Hmph!"

Lu Changsheng snorted coldly, then directly threw a punch into the air.

Bang!

That God Shattering Finger was instantly blasted into specks of light by his fist!

"What?!"

Qin Tianba's pupils shrank.

He stared ahead, his face filled with utter shock. Lu Changsheng stood tall and straight, scorching waves emanating from his body, while all the flooring beneath his feet had turned into molten lava.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng's aura had reached the fourth level of Divine Palace Realm!

"How is that possible?!"

Qin Tianba cried out in shock. In just a few short minutes, this brat had broken through to the fourth level of Divine Palace Realm!

How could this be possible!

From the eighth level of Core Condensation Realm to the fourth level of Divine Palace Realm, there were a full six minor realms between them. How could he break through them all in an instant?!

One had to know that for an ordinary martial artist to cultivate from the eighth level of Core Condensation Realm to the fourth level of Divine Palace Realm, it would likely take at least one or two years!

"Could it be..."

"Solar True Essence!"

Zhou Zhirou suddenly understood.

She had previously wondered why Junior Disciple Lu's realm had not changed after refining the Solar True Essence. So this fellow had deliberately suppressed his breakthroughs and sealed the power inside his dantian!

Now that he had released it completely, he had actually broken through six minor realms in one go!

"Old bastard, it's time for us to settle our score!"

Feeling the immense, scorching power within his body, Lu Changsheng clenched his fists and looked confidently at Qin Tianba. At this moment, Qin Tianba no longer posed the slightest threat to him!

Boom!

The instant his words fell, Lu Changsheng abruptly transformed into a streak of golden light and launched a fierce assault toward Qin Tianba.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the two figures clashed fiercely. They collided again and again, every exchange of fists and palms unleashing deafening booms and dazzling flashes of energy.

Lu Changsheng's offensive was fierce, martial arts emerging one after another. The unceasing waves of the Raging Waves Palm and the tyrannical thunder force of the Wind Thunder Fist sent palm force and fist energy crashing toward Qin Tianba like mountains toppling and seas overturning.

By now, Qin Tianba was almost completely crushed. Under Lu Changsheng's powerful assault, he retreated step by step. Terror filled his heart, and he was utterly horrified!

At the eighth level of Core Condensation Realm, Lu Changsheng had defeated Qin Lie, who was at the third level of Divine Palace Realm.

Now that he had entered the fourth level of Divine Palace Realm, defeating Qin Tianba at the sixth level of Divine Palace Realm was naturally as easy as turning over his hand, requiring no more effort than blowing away dust!

Bang!

"Ah!"

With a miserable scream, a bloodied figure with one arm severed was blasted by a golden fist shadow, his body instantly smashing into a stone platform.

The entire stone platform was directly reduced to ruins by the impact!

At that moment, the entire plaza fell deathly silent. Everyone stared in shock. Even Qin Tianba had been defeated!

"Patriarch!"

The members of the Qin Family were horrified beyond measure.
