You want to run now? Too late!

Within the sea of fire, a simple, heavy yellow light screen stood firm like a needle stabilizing the sea amidst raging waves.

Lu Changsheng maintained his previous posture, standing behind the light screen, not even a single feather singed.

The Southern Bright Separation Fire, capable of melting even acquired spirit treasures, dissipated into nothingness the moment it touched the light screen of the Mysterious Yellow Shield, like water droplets falling onto a red-hot iron plate.

"This... how is this possible?!"

The old man was utterly horrified. He felt his full-power strike was like hitting an unshakeable Chaos Divine Mountain.

The recoil even shattered the bones of his already heavily injured right arm!

"Mystic Immortal might? Is that all?"

From behind the light screen, Lu Changsheng slowly raised his head.

The timidity and hesitation in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a coldness and madness that erupted from pushing the Dao of Cowardice to its absolute extreme.

Those who walk the Dao of Cowardice do not seek trouble easily.

But once pushed to a desperate situation with nowhere left to retreat, they are more ruthless than anyone! Because they will thoroughly, cleanly eliminate all hidden dangers that threaten their lives!

"Are you done attacking?"

A cruel arc formed on Lu Changsheng's lips.

"Now, it's my turn."

As soon as the words fell.

Lu Changsheng slammed his hand onto the storage jade box at his waist.

"Swish, swish, swish—"

In an instant, hundreds of streams of light erupted from the jade box, obscuring the sky and sun.

These were not magic treasures, but three hundred sets of discarded array discs that Lu Changsheng had inscribed with the "Miniature Sky Thunder Detonation Array"!

These were all failures from his usual practice sessions, not powerful individually, but their sheer number was outrageous!

"Detonate!"

Lu Changsheng didn't even look, directly forming a hand seal.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!"

Three hundred sets of array discs detonated simultaneously around the four Mystic Immortals.

Although they couldn't inflict substantial damage on them.

The sky-filling flames, the ear-piercing thunder, and the violent spiritual energy turbulence generated by the array discs' self-destruction instantly obscured their vision and divine sense perception.

"Not good! This ant's methods are bizarre, everyone attack together, finish this quickly!"

The Phoenix Clan elder in the middle stage of Mystic Immortal finally realized something was wrong and roared frantically.

But Lu Changsheng's counterattack had only just begun.

Taking advantage of the chaos created by the explosions, Lu Changsheng didn't unleash any immensely powerful divine abilities.

Instead, he madly poured the True Immortal magic power he had accumulated over fifteen hundred years into the Cowardly Immortal Vine wrapped around his wrist.

"Go!"

Following Lu Changsheng's low shout.

The Cowardly Immortal Vine, originally only as thick as a bracelet, instantly grew to a hundred zhang long, like a verdant poisonous snake, silently merging into the surrounding spiritual energy turbulence.

"Ah—!"

A piercing scream suddenly rang out in the chaos.

One of the Dragon Clan remnants, standing at the outermost position, was warily defending against the aftermath of the explosion.

Suddenly, he felt his ankle tighten. A jade-green vine had, at some unknown time, wrapped itself tightly around his legs.

This vine was imbued with extremely venomous paralyzing toxins and devouring power. The moment it made contact.

The Dragon Clan remnant felt half his body lose sensation, and his internal magic power flowed away like water from a breached dam.

"Save me..."

He shouted in terror, desperately swinging his weapon to cut the vine.

But the Cowardly Immortal Vine, nurtured by the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and Three Lights Divine Water, was incredibly tough. Even the magic power of a Mystic Immortal couldn't easily sever it.

"First one."

Lu Changsheng's icy voice echoed in the explosion's smoke.

He stood behind the absolute defense of the Mysterious Yellow Shield, like an emotionless hunter. He yanked the Cowardly Immortal Vine hard with his right hand.

"Whoosh!"

The Dragon Clan remnant was pulled towards Lu Changsheng's direction without any ability to resist.

The moment he got close, Lu Changsheng formed his left hand into a sword with his fingers. A Pure Yang Sword Qi, condensed to its absolute limit, pierced precisely into the remnant's glabella.

Without any hesitation, a single strike killed him!

His Primordial Spirit turned to ash in an instant under the scorching of the Pure Yang Fire.

Silence.

Within Phoenix Fall Valley, apart from the lingering shockwaves of the explosion, one of the four Mystic Immortals was gone.

The remaining three, including the elder of the Phoenix Clan, finally felt fear.

This was no ordinary True Immortal.

This was a monster with absolute defense, bizarre methods, and an extreme ruthlessness!

"Form up! Don't give him a chance to pick us off one by one!"

The Phoenix Clan elder roared, rallying the remaining two Dragon Clan remnants to his side.

But would Lu Changsheng give them that chance?

"Too late."

Lu Changsheng snorted coldly.

He no longer used the Cowardly Immortal Vine for sneak attacks, but instead directly collected the scattered remnants of the formation plates.

The Mysterious Yellow Shield hovered above his head, emitting wisps of Mysterious Yellow Qi that protected him firmly.

Then, Lu Changsheng formed an extremely complex hand seal.

This was the only offensive divine ability he had comprehended from the incomplete Great Dao Memory in his mind during his eight thousand five hundred years of secluded cultivation on Nameless Low Mountain.

He had never used this divine ability before.

Because this divine ability was no different from mutual destruction!

This was not true self-destruction, but a terrifying killing move that extremely squeezed one's own origin, erupting with ten or even a hundred times the power of one's own realm in an instant!

The price of using this move was immense; at best, one's realm would fall, and at worst, one's origin would be damaged, requiring countless years to recover.

But in this life-or-death desperate situation.

If he couldn't keep these three people here today, and they managed to escape and leak the secret of his possession of the Mysterious Yellow Shield, then he would never have peace in the Primordial Land!

"Fight to the death! Until one of us falls!"

Lu Changsheng's eyes turned blood red, and he forcibly drew out a trace of the Great Dao Merit origin within him!

Not leaking his aura, but truly drawing out a trace of his origin!

"Buzz–!"

The moment that trace of Great Dao Merit origin merged into his True Immortal magic power.

Heaven and earth changed color.

The Calamity Sha Mist that perpetually lingered in Phoenix Fall Valley seemed to have encountered its most terrifying natural enemy, scattering madly in all directions.

A dazzling golden flame ignited on Lu Changsheng's body.

This flame did not possess high temperature, but only an absolute destructive power that transcended all laws.

"What... what is this power?!"

The Phoenix Clan elder and the remaining two Dragon Clan remnants, looking at Lu Changsheng engulfed in golden flames and feeling the pressure that made their souls tremble, were utterly despairing.

This was not the power a True Immortal could possess!

This power was even more terrifying than the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals they had seen in their prime!

"Escape! Scatter and flee!"

The Phoenix Clan elder no longer cared about face or treasures. He screamed, directly burned his natal essence blood, and transformed into a blood-red light, soaring into the sky, attempting to escape this deathly valley.

The other two Dragon Clan remnants also awoke as if from a dream, fleeing frantically in opposite directions.

"Can you escape?"
