Xiao Heng entered the middle zone immediately after them, while Lin Chuan, who was closest to them, needed only two more attacks to reach this place.
"I can now control the direction of Black Origin's rotation, though only slightly." The moment Xiao Heng entered the middle zone, he immediately noticed the change.
After entering the middle zone, the pressure emanating from the Five Absolutes Immortal Emperor suddenly became much denser. It became far more difficult for them to gain a foothold here.
Although Lin Chuan maintained his lead over Dantai Qianru and the others thanks to entering the Five Absolutes Cave Manor first, these people were powerful cultivators. They were able to withstand the Five Absolutes Immortal Emperor's attacks each time, so they had not fallen far behind and remained close on Lin Chuan's heels. If Lin Chuan made even the slightest mistake, he could be overtaken.
At that moment, another wave of five-element attacks arrived before them.
Lin Chuan was fairly lucky. He encountered a fire-attribute attack and directly used an Ice Release technique to defend and counterattack. It posed no great difficulty for him.
Thus, he focused more of his attention on Xiao Heng and Shi Jin. He wanted to see how the Five Absolutes Immortal Emperor's attacks would change after entering the middle zone.
Boom! An emerald-green beam slammed straight toward Xiao Heng. The surrounding space rippled violently, and Lin Chuan could clearly sense that the wood spiritual energy contained within that beam was several times greater than before. Even though it was not aimed at him, he still felt danger.
Although Xiao Heng's expression did not change much, it was noticeably more solemn than before. As his hands moved, black and white light surged from his palms, rapidly intertwining to form a Taiji Eight Trigrams diagram.
