At that moment, a thunderous boom suddenly rang out. The entire battlefield was instantly torn apart, and a massive rift appeared between the two men.
Dao Lord Taichu and Venerable Gu Xuan were both stunned. Neither had expected this battle to trigger such an enormous upheaval.
A powerful surge of energy came from within the rift. Both men sensed the immense might contained within it and involuntarily retreated.
At that moment, a vicious glint flashed through Venerable Gu Xuan's eyes. Seizing the opportunity, he suddenly launched an attack. A streak of black light shot toward Dao Lord Taichu.

A huge burst of energy
