Ancient Demon Tagga slowly rose from the ruins, his body surging with demonic energy, his eyes cold and piercing, like a demon from hell.
" Bello is dead... but you will all have to die with me!!"
Taja's voice was hoarse and violent as he dragged his broken body closer and closer to Luo Chuan and the others.
Despite being severely injured, his strength still far surpassed that of everyone present. At this moment, he was like a ferocious beast that had been enraged, determined to wipe everyone out.
Luo Chuan took a deep breath, suppressing the grief in his heart, his eyes becoming incredibly determined. He knew that now was not the time for sorrow; he had to get everyone out of this hell as soon as possible.
"Let's go! We'll split up and run. He can only chase one of us. We still have a chance!"
Luo Chuan let out a low shout and no longer hesitated. He shouldered the Luo God Sword with one hand, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire burned around him, barely protecting him.
With a flicker, he transformed into a streak of golden-red light, hurtling towards the other side of the Magma Forbidden Land.
Wang Wei and Hu Juan immediately realized what was happening, and the two supported each other as they fled in two different directions.
In an instant, within the Magma Forbidden Land, four figures parted ways and fled in their own directions.
Ancient Demon Tagga watched the fleeing crowd, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Despite his severe injuries, he still possessed incredible speed thanks to the strength of Immortal Emperor Qinglin's physical body.
Ancient Demon Tagga's gaze swept over the four figures, finally settling on a slightly weakened figure who was still desperately running.
That was the last remnant soul aura of the Ancient Demon Bero; though faint, it still lingered.
"Hmph, now that bastard Bello is dead, then you all can die together!"
Taja snorted coldly, abandoned the pursuit of the other three, and transformed into a dark shadow, relentlessly chasing after that figure.
He wanted to tear that figure apart with his own hands to vent his anger and to completely sever all possibilities for Bello.
Luo Chuan and the other two ran wildly in different directions, their hearts sinking as they heard the increasingly close demonic howl behind them.
They knew in their hearts that Taga had chosen Bello's remnant soul, and this was their only chance at the moment.
As Luo Chuan ran, he glanced back at the direction Taga was pursuing, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"Brother Bello, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"
Luo Chuan gritted his teeth, urged the remaining Ancient God Power within his body, and ignited the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, increasing his speed even further as he fled towards the deeper secret passage of the immortal Immortal Mansion.
The figure being chased by Taga was a wisp of the Ancient Demon Bero's remnant soul. It transformed into a faint blue stream of light, weaving through the lava in an attempt to confuse Taga and buy more time for Luo Chuan and the others.
Taja's demonic hand struck the remnant soul again and again, the black demonic flames burning continuously, but the remnant soul was like a cockroach, no matter how it was attacked, it could not be completely dissipated.
"Damn it! Disperse!!"
Tajia flew into a rage, his demonic energy erupting once more. He unleashed a punch, the terrifying energy shattering the wisp of remnant soul until it was almost transparent. Yet, it did not dissipate; instead, it fled even faster.
"Let's see how long you can keep running!"
Tajia gave chase, and the two, one pursuing and the other fleeing, gradually moved away from the Magma Forbidden Land and headed deeper into the Immortal Emperor Cave Abode.
At this moment, several powerful auras were drawing ever closer from the direction of the Demon Spirit Land.
The figure of True Person Huanglong had already pierced through the spatial barrier of the Rain Immortal World and arrived above the Immortal Emperor Cave Abode.
"Such dense demonic energy... and the aura of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, it really is here."
With one hand behind his back, True Person Huanglong transformed into a phantom of Huang Long and swooped straight into the Immortal Emperor Cave Abode.
At this moment, Luo Chuan had already separated from his Cloud Immortal Couple, but he was still in the most danger, because the Ancient Demon Tagga was right behind him.
Ancient Demon Tagga's strength is at the eight-star level, and with the addition of Immortal Emperor Qinglin's physical body, his strength has long since reached the pinnacle.
Even with the bloodline of Royal Ancient God, Luo Chuan could not possibly be a match for the eight-star Ancient Demon Tagga. The most important thing now is to leave this place as soon as possible.
The demonic howl behind him grew closer and closer, and the suffocating pressure clung to Luo Chuan like a leech, as if it would devour him completely at any moment.
Luo Chuan dared not look back even slightly. He could clearly sense that Ta Jia's speed was increasing rapidly. The physical body of the Immortal Emperor Qinglin was already incredibly powerful. Even after being severely injured by Bello's self-destruction, its remaining strength was still terrifying to the extreme.
With the cultivation of an eight-star Ancient Devil and a physical body at the level of Immortal Emperor, Ta Jia is now standing at the pinnacle of the entire immortal realm.
Luo Chuan's brow shimmered with six golden stars, and he unleashed the full Ancient God Power. His feet touched the lava and Fire Rock, leaving golden streaks of light. He transformed into a long, golden-red rainbow, frantically traversing the intricate passages and Fire Rock formations of the Immortal Emperor Cave Abode.
" Sunie Realm brat, don't run away!"
Ancient Demon Tagga's voice, as if from the Nine Netherworlds hell, carried a chilling aura and exploded in Luo Chuan's ears.
Suddenly, Ancient Demon Tagga's figure leaped out from the other side of the lava sea, his body surrounded by surging black demonic flames. His tattered blue armor was covered with demonic blood and lava fragments, making him look even more ferocious and terrifying.
"You possess the bloodline of Royal Ancient God and are further enhanced by the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire. If I could devour you, my strength would undoubtedly rise to a new level, and I might even be able to completely merge with Qing Lin's body and soul!"
Taja laughed wildly, and with a swift grab of his demonic hand, a gigantic black demonic claw instantly formed, carrying a world-destroying suction force that directly locked the space around Luo Chuan.
Luo Chuan felt a tremendous force come over him, and his body instantly froze, as if he were tightly bound by invisible chains, making it difficult even to breathe.
He held the Luo God Sword tightly with one hand, causing the sword to tremble violently and emit a resentful cry. The Vermilion Bird Divine Fire burned at full power, transforming into a golden-red barrier that barely resisted the suction force of the demonic claws.
But this is tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
The demonic claws slowly tightened, and the golden-red divine fire barrier emitted a crackling sound, quickly developing cracks.
Luo Chuan could clearly feel his bones creaking, the Ancient God Power within him being rapidly drained, and the injury to his chest recurring.
In an instant, a mouthful of golden Ancient God's blood could no longer be contained and gushed out, splashing onto the divine sword.
A blazing light shimmered around Luo Chuan, and surging energy flowed like a mighty river, shattering the void wherever it passed, causing countless stars to twinkle.
"Damn it... It seems I have no choice but to use that one thing. Although I can't kill Ancient Demon Tagga, I absolutely cannot let him re-merge with Immortal Emperor Qing Lin's body!"
