Two powerful energies collided, erupting with an earth-shaking boom that made the entire valley tremble.
Dao Lord Taichu steadied himself, a flicker of admiration flashing through his eyes.
Venerable Gu Xuan refused to be outdone. He transformed into a streak of light and charged straight at Dao Lord Taichu, the two engaging in a breathtaking battle in midair.
