Dao Lord Taichu gripped the sword in his hand tightly, his body trembling slightly. He knew he had reached his limit.
Venerable Gu Xuan was not faring well either. He could feel that much of his true essence had been depleted, but he knew he could not lose, much less die.
Dao Lord Taichu suddenly swung his sword, instantly transforming into a streak of sword light that flew toward Venerable Gu Xuan.
Venerable Gu Xuan did not dare slacken. He thrust out his palm as well, its fierce force colliding with the sword light.
With a thunderous boom, the entire cave shook violently.
Both men were sent flying backward at the same time, crashing into the cave walls and scattering stone chips and dust.
Venerable Gu Xuan braced himself against the wall, panting as waves of sharp pain coursed through his chest.

Dao Lord Taichu was no better off. He drew his sword free, leaving behind a bloody gash. He knew he had suffered serious injuries.
"Venerable Gu Xuan, what other moves do you have?" Dao Lord Taichu asked.
Venerable Gu Xuan sneered. "Of course I do." He raised his head, his gaze cold as the aura around him began to turn strange.
He muttered an incantation, and suddenly, black mist surged from his body and engulfed the entire cave.
Dao Lord Taichu watched in surprise. He knew this black mist was no simple thing—it was demon energy.
His entire body tensed as he prepared to respond at any moment.
Venerable Gu Xuan suddenly roared, "Heaven and Earth Turn to Ash!" A powerful force erupted instantly, shaking the entire cave as rocks and rubble began to float into the air.
