Want to Leave? Did You Ask My Permission?

As the Ancestral Soul Container, Feng Qing'er suffered extremely severe backlash after the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Ancestral Soul she summoned was forcibly crushed by Zi Yan.

She was extremely weak, her face was as pale as paper, and there were still traces of blood at the corners of her mouth. Her once aloof and proud demeanor was now replaced by weakness and panic.

Even now, she forced herself to approach the Black-robed Old Man Huang Xuan, whose face was equally pale, and asked in a trembling voice, "Elder Huang, now... what should we do?"

Even her strongest Trump Card, the Ancestral Soul that held all her hopes, was no match for the even more terrifying Ancient Void Dragon Ancestral Soul of the opponent. At this moment, her mind was consumed by defeat and fear.

Not far away, Thunder Venerate, the Clan Leader the Earth Tiger Clan, the Clan Leader the Silver Moon Wolf Clan, and others saw Feng Qing'er, who had been displaying great power and was like Heavenly Phoenix, now suffering such a miserable defeat. They all felt a strong sense of foreboding and their eyes flickered as they began to consider retreating.

Staying here any longer might really cost me my life!

The Black-robed Old Man Huang Xuan, had a rapidly flashing eye and a face so gloomy it could drip water; he was torn between his inner thoughts and his own.

The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is within reach; it represents the hope for the rise of our race. To give it up now would be an extreme inconvenience!

But the harsh reality before him told him that if they stayed any longer, not only would they not be able to seize the fruits of their labor, but they would all likely perish here!

After a moment of struggle, he gritted his teeth and practically forced out a single word:

"Walk!"

As Qing Shan, we can always make a comeback! As long as we can survive and escape this damned Beast Spirit Barrier, we might still have a chance to fight back!

"Elder Huang Xuan! That's the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit! Sacred Artifact our clan has been searching for for countless years!"

Upon hearing this, the White-haired Man, who was already seriously injured, became anxious and roared in a low voice, his face full of resentment. Giving up this heaven-defying opportunity was worse than death for him.

"So what if it's the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit?! Can you even snatch it now?!"

The Black-robed Old Man suddenly turned his head and shouted at the White-haired Man, his voice filled with suppressed anger and resentment.

"Look at our current state! Qing'er's Ancestral Soul has been destroyed, you are seriously injured, and Thunder Venerate and the others are filled with fear! Not only does the enemy have the Ancient Void Dragon Ancestral Soul to aid them, but Lin Ming is also unfathomable! If we stay any longer, everyone will die here!"

After saying this, the Black-robed Old Man Huang Xuan, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his surging Qi and Blood, and spoke rapidly:

"Hurry! They'll eventually leave this Beast Spirit Barrier! Once they're out of here, without the Ancestral Soul power of the Primordial Void Dragon skeleton within this space, the Little Girl's power will be greatly reduced! Then, there will be plenty of opportunities! Now, retreat immediately!"

The Black-robed Old Man, Huang Xuan, was indeed a remarkable figure. Knowing that the situation had completely reversed and that his side had no chance of winning, he made a decisive move and no longer hesitated.

With a wave of his hand, he activated the little remaining Dou Qi in his body, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, rapidly retreating towards the direction of the Beast Spirit Barrier rift from which they had come!

Seeing this, Thunder Venerate, the Clan Leader the Earth Tiger Clan, the Clan Leader the Silver Moon Wolf Clan, and others, who had long intended to retreat, were as if they had been granted a pardon. They hurriedly urged themselves to catch up, wishing they had more legs, each one faster than the last, for fear of being left behind if they were even a step behind.

Even the heavily injured White-haired Man and the weak-looking Feng Qing'er gritted their teeth and followed, supported by other members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

"I'll let you enjoy yourselves a little longer! My Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan will definitely find a chance to avenge this grudge!"

As the White-haired Man retreated, he gritted his teeth in resentment, casting a venomous glance towards the Altar, deeply etching the day's crushing defeat and humiliation into his heart.

"Hmph! Come and go as you please? It's not that easy!"

Seeing that these people were trying to escape when things went wrong, Zi Yan, who had been observing coldly, let out a cold snort.

At this moment, she is connected to the Primordial Void Dragon Ancestral Soul, and with a thought, she can draw upon the vast power of this world.

Zi Yan didn't even move her body; she simply threw a light punch at the group of people who were fleeing in panic!

This punch, seemingly casual, contained power that caused the entire Beast Spirit Barrier space to tremble!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of deep, chilling thuds echoed through the space. In the Void Space ahead of Feng Qing'er, Huang Xuan, and the others as they fled, a dark, deep Spatial Rift, its edges flashing with purple lightning, spread out like a ferocious black Giant Python!

Wherever the crack passed, all matter was devoured and annihilated, carrying an aura of destruction, heading straight for the backs of Huang Xuan, Feng Qing'er, and the others who were escaping the fastest!

Feeling the terrifying gust of wind and the power to devour space that swept towards him like lightning from behind, enough to completely tear him apart, the expression of the Black-robed Old Man Huang Xuan, who was at the forefront, changed drastically in an instant!

He could clearly sense that if this attack landed, even if he were Five-Star Dou Venerate, he would definitely be either dead or crippled!

"You bastard!"

In that critical moment, a ruthless glint flashed in Huang Xuan's eyes; his will to survive overwhelmed everything else.

He abruptly stopped his forward momentum, forcefully twisting his body. The little remaining Dou Qi in his body was unleashed without reservation, and the colorful Sky Demon Phoenix Dou Qi enveloped his entire body like burning flames!

The Black-robed Old Man, Huang Xuan, turned around and gathered all his power, unleashing a fierce palm strike! A huge, colorful phantom paw appeared, carrying his desperate resolve, and collided heavily with the hideous Spatial Rift that was hurtling towards him!

"Boom--!!!"

The colorful light clashed violently with the pitch-black Spatial Rift! There was no stalemate, only a one-sided crushing defeat!

The colorful phoenix claw only lasted for a moment before it was torn apart and devoured like paper by the Spatial Rift containing the power of the Primordial Void Dragon Ancestral Soul!

"Pfft!"

The ferocious impact and the backlash from the Space Power caused the Black-robed Old Man Huang Xuan, to feel a sweet taste in his throat, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood containing fragments of internal organs!

His aura deflated like a punctured balloon, instantly becoming extremely weak. His face turned ashen, and his body, like a kite with a broken string, was thrown back rapidly by the residual impact, crashing into the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan following behind in a disheveled state, causing a chorus of exclamations and chaos.

Upon seeing that even the strongest Five-Star Dou Venerate Huang Xuan, couldn't withstand a punch from Zi Yan in her current state, and was sent flying backward coughing up blood, the faces of Thunder Venerate, the Earth Tiger Clan Leader, and others instantly turned extremely ugly, deathly pale, their eyes filled with fear.

If even Five-Star Dou Venerate is so easily defeated, wouldn't these people just be throwing their lives away if they went up there?

"Run!"

Someone let out a hoarse shout, and this group of powerful figures, who were originally considered giants in the Northern Region of the Central Plains, no longer cared about their manners or face. They almost scrambled forward like stray dogs, desperately fleeing towards the entrance of the Beast Spirit Barrier.

Their panicked and disheveled appearance was an ironic contrast to their earlier aggressive and domineering manner.

As he was forced back, the Black-robed Old Man, Huang Xuan, barely managed to regain his footing after being caught by his clansmen. Looking at the group who had rushed to the Beast Spirit Barrier but stood there dumbfounded like headless flies, he was so enraged that another mouthful of blood welled up in his throat. He forced himself to swallow it, letting out a roar like that of a wounded beast:

"What are you all standing there for?! Useless! Quickly activate the Beast Spirit Barrier and run for your lives! Are you waiting to be caught like a turtle in a jar?!"

As he finished speaking, his emotions became agitated, aggravating his internal injuries. He couldn't help but cough up another mouthful of dark red blood, and his breathing grew increasingly weak.

However, faced with his roar, the few members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan standing in front of the Beast Spirit Barrier, including the White-haired Man with a weakened aura, did not make any move. Instead, their faces were filled with even more intense fear and despair.

The White-haired Man turned around, his voice trembling with unbearable fear, and screamed at Huang Xuan, "Elder Huang Xuan! We... we can't open it! This Beast Spirit Barrier... we can't open it at all!"

"What did you say?!" Huang Xuan's pupils shrank sharply, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

It's true!

Another member of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, his face also deathly pale, reached out a trembling hand, pointing to the seemingly calm golden light barrier, and cried out:

"Unbeknownst to anyone, within this Beast Spirit Barrier, an extremely powerful and subtly concealed Soul Restriction has been secretly placed upon it!"

"This Soul Restriction is perfectly integrated with the light barrier of the Beast Spirit Barrier itself, and it's impossible to detect without careful investigation! If we want to open the Beast Spirit Barrier like we did when we entered, we must first forcibly break through this damned Soul Restriction! But... but this Soul Restriction is incredibly tough, and with our current state and Soul Power, it's impossible to break through it in a short time!"

These words were like a final death knell, ringing in the ears of all the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and Thunder Venerate!

At this moment, everyone's hearts sank into an icy abyss, into an abyss of despair!

There's no way to escape!

All of them were now trapped in this Beast Spirit Barrier cage... like turtles in a jar! There was nowhere to escape!

With powerful enemies like Zi Yan and Lin Ming, who can summon the Primordial Void Dragon Ancestral Soul, looming ahead, and their rear route completely sealed off by a powerful Soul Restriction that had been laid out at some unknown time! This was simply a deadly trap that had been prepared for them all along!

Just when they were utterly despondent, and almost incapable of thinking due to this sudden and desperate situation—

Led by Lin Ming, the young man who had been dominating the battle, the members of the Five Elements Sect walked slowly down from mid-air like the Grim Reaper reaping lives.

Their pace wasn't fast, but it carried an air of calm and dominance.

Lin Ming's gaze calmly swept over the group of enemies before him, who were like lambs to the slaughter. His calm words, echoing across the deathly silent plain, clearly reached the ears of every desperate soul, sounding exceptionally cold and jarring:

"Want to leave? Did I agree to that?"
