Asura Purgatory Contest

The power of the Dao Imprint exploded within Ya Mi Xiu Fu's soul.

Several more Soul Attacks carrying shredding force erupted in succession, battering his soul body. The intense pain made him frown.

However, the Soul Illusion Techniques among them failed to affect him.

Within his soul was a golden bead. Apart from the Dao Imprint, all other soul-impacting methods were instantly dispersed. Even the Dao Imprint's power was tightly restrained, unable to affect his soul on a large scale. The power that leaked out was all neutralized and expended.

Enduring the searing pain in his soul, Ya Mi Xiu Fu looked toward the Star Tower, his gaze turning icy. In an instant, he transformed into a golden afterimage and charged toward it.

"Not good." Luo Feng and the others rushed back into the Star Tower.

"Break!" As Ya Mi Xiu Fu charged over, his hand transformed into the claw of his true form and slashed down fiercely.

The last time, he had failed to shatter the Star Tower with a single strike. This time, he pushed his strength to the utmost limit.

He still wanted to try.

Clang!

The Star Tower shuddered violently under that claw strike and was forced into a streak of golden light that smashed toward the ground. With a boom, it slammed into the earth.

Luo Feng could only feel the Star Tower's passive defensive secret markings flashing violently. Fortunately, the force was perfectly distributed throughout the tower's body. Though the blow landed in one spot, the impact was evenly spread everywhere. So long as there was no power capable of shattering the entire Star Tower in one strike, breaking it was impossible.

Though it had not shattered, Luo Feng still felt uncomfortable, because they had failed to affect Ya Mi Xiu Fu.

That attack had been extremely powerful. If it had struck him directly, one or two hits would probably have been enough to kill him.

"Grow!" Luo Feng controlled the Star Tower, and as it fell to the ground, it suddenly expanded.

The Star Tower rose with a thunderous boom, standing tall upon the ground.

A larger surface area made it easier for Ya Mi Xiu Fu to strike it, but Luo Feng had enough confidence in the Star Tower's defenses. What he feared was the Star Tower being suppressed.

"This treasure truly is quite good." It would likely be impossible to shatter the Star Tower in a short time.

"I know you want to stall me, but I won't give you the chance." Ya Mi Xiu Fu snorted coldly. The Dao Imprint had limited influence within his soul, so he turned sharply and charged toward the Innate Primordial Chaos Spirit fleeing wildly across the ground.

Ya Mi Xiu Fu was incomparably fast, and his spatial domain completely restrained the Innate Primordial Chaos Spirit.

"Join forces, everyone. We can't let the treasure fall into his hands." The other five Great God Heavens were also rather anxious. If they could not restrain Ya Mi Xiu Fu, this treasure would truly fall into the hands of the Void Refining Ancient Race.

The five exchanged voice transmissions and seemed to reach an agreement. In an instant, five attacks struck toward Ya Mi Xiu Fu from five different directions.

"You five are courting death!" Ya Mi Xiu Fu roared. As the five attacks descended, he simply transformed into his true form and shattered them directly with both claws. They caused only some interference, and in the next instant, he shot downward in a dazzling streak of golden light, too fast to follow.

In the blink of an eye—

Boom!

A claw struck the Innate Primordial Chaos Spirit, but failed to seize it. The Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure struggled as well, and a large chunk of its body was torn away.

"Roar!" Sensing danger, the Innate Primordial Chaos Spirit roared and darted toward an opening in the cave below.

All the forces in the sky above charged downward as well.

"Restrain him! We can't let him seize the treasure first!"

Including Xuan Mo, the five Great God Heavens of the Emperor Race did not hesitate in the slightest. They all revealed their true forms, flames blazing across their bodies as their strength reached its peak.

Although Xuan Mo was a newly advanced Great God Heaven, the Profound Heaven Emperor Devil Race was still second only to the Void Refining Ancient Race and the Ancient Phoenix Race. Once he used his methods, his strength was naturally not weak.

Wave after wave of fierce attacks crashed downward, all meant to restrain Ya Mi Xiu Fu's speed.

Within this narrow cave, Ya Mi Xiu Fu's movements were restricted, and he was further harassed by these fellows. He found it exceedingly uncomfortable.

His defenses were strong, but if these attacks landed on him, they would still hurt. More importantly, they affected his speed. The Innate Primordial Chaos Spirit moved even faster underground. Using the rules here, it was actually faster than Ya Mi Xiu Fu.

Inside the Star Tower, Luo Feng's group of six also made their decision. Though they appeared to be charging forward, they had actually set their sights on Hewens nearby.

At close range, Luo Feng withdrew the Dao Imprint he had left within Ya Mi Xiu Fu's soul. Since it was useless there, he would find a way to use it on Hewens instead.

The Star Tower's vast domain erupted. Wind God and the other five emerged from the Star Tower and unleashed their own domain methods as well, likewise seeking to affect Ya Mi Xiu Fu below.

With a full eleven domains restricting him, Ya Mi Xiu Fu might have been powerful, but under the all-out suppression of eleven domains, his own domain could no longer hold an advantage.

Ya Mi Xiu Fu had already struck the Innate Primordial Chaos Spirit twice. Just two blows had severely wounded it and sent it fleeing. Now, the other five Great God Heavens had all gone mad, frantically interfering with him.

Before an Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure, there was no reason to hand it over to Ya Mi Xiu Fu.

The Innate Primordial Chaos Spirit was already severely wounded. Any one of them might have a chance to seize its corpse.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Within some of the caves underground, even Ya Mi Xiu Fu was subject to restrictions. The soil here carried certain rule-based taboos and was not easy to destroy. His speed was immediately limited, and the interference from these little ants filled him with fury.

Outside, only Hewens and Luo Feng's group remained.

When Hewens saw Luo Feng and the others, killing intent flashed in his eyes. Yet he kept a certain distance. He knew how devious these people were and did not dare approach too closely, merely relying on long-range domain methods to attack the six of them.

What he excelled at was spatial physical attacks, and Luo Feng's group was not afraid of that.

"We'll go down too. Let's see whether Hewens follows. We'll prepare to attack him later," Luo Feng said through voice transmission.

As he spoke, all six transformed into streams of light and shot downward.

Luo Feng's group immediately entered the caves beneath the ground. They still kept a certain distance from Ya Mi Xiu Fu, only seeking to affect his speed. If possible, of course, they also wanted to seize the Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

According to the feedback from their domains, the Innate Primordial Chaos Spirit was still running ahead, while Ya Mi Xiu Fu had not caught up at all.

"Qing Ge should be arriving soon," Luo Feng said.

That gave them hope.

"Once Qing Ge arrives..." Lord of Fire Devourment had barely begun speaking—

"No, that aura—the one from the Ancient Phoenix Race."

As his words fell, all six changed expressions. This aura belonged to none other than Asamon, the one who had once joined Ya Mi Xiu Fu in dealing with the Azure Profound Monarch. A scorching aura utterly out of place with the icy world around them accompanied his arrival, directly raising the temperature in this area.

"Damn it, Asamon is here." Ya Mi Xiu Fu grew anxious.

"Get lost!" Ya Mi Xiu Fu bellowed angrily, controlling a vast force of Space Power that swept toward the Great God Heavens pestering him like flies.

At this point, he had no choice but to burn himself with all his strength, pushing his power to its maximum. He rampaged through the cave.

However, only a short while after Asamon arrived, a vast Sword Intent World Domain blanketed the area. Within that world of sword intent, a terrifying sword light came hurtling over.

"Qing Ge is here." Luo Feng and the others were overjoyed.

"Hewens, get inside! At any cost, seize that treasure!" Ya Mi Xiu Fu roared through voice transmission. Among those present, if anyone could stop the Sword Demon, it would probably require him and Asamon joining forces.

"Asamon, you and I will join hands. This treasure cannot fall into the Sword Demon's hands. Once the Sword Demon obtains it, you know the consequences. As for who ultimately gets it, let those others fight over it." Ya Mi Xiu Fu's voice also entered Asamon's mind.

If the Sword Demon acquired this treasure and his strength rose again, killing the few of them might no longer be difficult.

That was something Ya Mi Xiu Fu did not wish to see.

He would rather another Emperor Race obtain it than let the Sword Demon have it.

"Hmph!" Asamon snorted coldly.

His words conveyed reluctance, but at this point, there was no other choice.

Seeing Ya Mi Xiu Fu soar into the sky from the cave below, Asamon transformed into an enormous true form, a terrifying creature resembling a hellfire phoenix. The two of them faced the approaching Sword Demon.

"Luo Feng, Wind God, Fire Devourment, you six go seize the Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasure." The Azure Profound Monarch's voice also rang in the minds of Luo Feng and the other six.

Though he was not afraid of those two, they could still restrain him.

Luo Feng's group of six exchanged glances. "It seems this contest will still depend on us. More ancestors of the Emperor Races will arrive soon, so we need to hurry."

"If it really comes to it, we'll use the treasure Qing Ge gave us this time," Luo Feng thought to himself.

During his previous adventures outside, he had kept some single-use attack treasures given to him by the Azure Profound Monarch. He still had two of them, and they would be crucial to his attempt to seize the treasure.

"Go!"

Luo Feng and his group of six all rushed into the caves below.

The cave walls here were covered in Taboo Secret Markings and were incredibly sturdy. Only Great God Heavens of the first tier could destroy them.

The entire cave system was like a maze. Now that the six Great God Heavens of the Emperor Races were all here, their domain power could detect the Innate Primordial Chaos Spirit's presence, but every side was hindering the others. No one could hope to be the first to reach it.

Luo Feng's group of six chose a passage and quickly rushed deeper inside.

Boom!

Suddenly, they sensed terrifying fluctuations coming from a nearby passage, and energy shockwaves filled the entire tunnel.

"Damn it, there are Blood Purgatory Asura Flowers in this place!" The voice echoed through the domains. All the Great God Heavens were alarmed and quickly sensed the terror here.

"Blood Purgatory Asura Flowers. It seems there may be other dangers in this massive cave. Everyone, be careful," Wind God warned.

The presence of Blood Purgatory Asura Flowers meant other plants might exist as well. According to the records, there were even plant lifeforms here that emitted terrifying poisonous mist. These poisons were more formidable than even Karma Toxin. If a Great God Heaven was careless enough to be struck, they might fall into a frenzied state.
