Dao Lord Taichu's expression shifted slightly. He had not expected the Black-robed Man to possess such methods.
He gripped his golden sword tightly, preparing to fight again.
This time, he was determined to hold nothing back. He had to go all out, or he would find it difficult to withstand the newly arrived Black-robed Man.
The two clashed once more, sparks of battle flying in all directions.
Dao Lord Taichu unleashed even more Golden Runes, which transformed into an enormous golden dragon and collided fiercely with the Black-robed Man's Dark Power.
The heavens and earth were filled with surging energy. Mountain peaks collapsed, rivers changed course, and the entire world seemed to tremble from this battle.
Dao Lord Taichu's gaze was incomparably resolute. He no longer feared the Black-robed Man; instead, he longed to defeat him.
His body erupted with dazzling golden light as his golden sword tore through the sky, striking toward the Black-robed Man's heart.
However, the Black-robed Man did not yield. His Dark Power continued to grow, and a dark sword condensed once more, intertwining with the golden sword before instantly detonating in a terrifying explosion of energy.
Dao Lord Taichu was blasted away by the immense impact. His body slammed heavily into the ground, splitting the earth with a massive crack.
The Black-robed Man stood where he was. His body swayed slightly, but he remained standing.
He looked coldly at Dao Lord Taichu. "You are still not strong enough, Dao Lord Taichu. Dark Power cannot be conquered."
Dao Lord Taichu struggled to his feet, his golden hair before his forehead disheveled, determination gleaming in his eyes.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and replied with a sneer, "Though Dark Power is powerful, I, Dao Lord Taichu, will never be bound by it."
