To his utter surprise, the young Luo Chuan before him possessed such an extraordinary opportunity; his spiritual power far exceeded his imagination.
A strong sense of fear instantly rose in Azure Dragonzi's heart, and he turned around to try to escape.
Ke Luo Chuan would never give him any chance.
As his Nine-Colored Ultimate Realm Divine Sense burst forth, Luo Chuan stomped his right foot into the void, causing the void beneath his feet to shatter instantly. A terrifying aura of ancient savagery erupted from his body.
Then, the void behind Luo Chuan suddenly twisted, and a thousand-foot-tall Ancient God Body Dharma Manifestation appeared.
The Ancient God Dharma Image stood tall and imposing, its body incredibly robust, its muscles bulging, brimming with world-destroying power, its eyes like the sun and moon, radiating boundless majesty.
This is the supreme divine power of the Ancient God lineage, the ultimate manifestation of physical strength. A single punch can shatter mountains and rivers, and break the heavens.
Luo Chuan's eyes were cold as he manipulated the Ancient God Dharma Image, clenching his enormous fist and unleashing boundless power as he slammed it down on the panicked Azure Dragonzi.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the moment the fist landed, the spiritual energy defense around Azure Dragonzi shattered instantly, and the illusory Azure Dragon State behind him was blasted into nothingness.
Azure Dragonzi had no time to dodge and was hit hard in the chest by the punch. He fell heavily from mid-air like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the ground of the courtyard and creating a huge crater.
Azure Dragonzi lay in the deep pit, a large part of his chest caved in, countless bones shattered all over his body, blood gushing from his mouth, his face as pale as paper, and his breath instantly weakened to the extreme.
"How is this possible..."
Azure Dragonzi struggled to raise his head, looking at Luo Chuan in mid-air, his eyes filled with resentment and despair, and roared hoarsely:
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could the First Decay of Heaven and Man possess such power... I am not reconciled!"
He was unwilling to accept that his carefully laid plans had ended in such a way, and even more unwilling to lose to a junior whose level was far inferior to his own.
After roaring, Azure Dragonzi used his last bit of strength to tremble as he pulled out a blue jade slip from his robes, trying to crush it with his fingertips.
I will make sure you all die a horrible death!
This jade slip is the communication jade slip between him and Long Panzi. Once it is crushed, Long Panzi will immediately sense his situation, turn back instantly, and kill Luo Chuan.
Even if he dies today, he will drag Luo Chuan down with him, so that Long Panzi can avenge him.
Luo Chuan saw through his intentions at a glance. His eyes were cold, and without the slightest hesitation, he activated his divine sense, instantly condensing the divine sense power of the Nine-Colored Ultimate Realm into an invisible spike.
It was as fast as lightning, piercing straight through Azure Dragonzi's head.
"Puff!"
With a soft sound, Azure Dragonzi's movements froze instantly, the light in his eyes completely disappeared, and the jade slip in his hand slipped out before he could even crush it.
Azure Dragonzi's body went limp, and he breathed his last. He died on the spot, his soul scattered, leaving no chance for reincarnation.
After defeating Azure Dragonzi, Luo Chuan slowly withdrew his Ancient God Dharma Image. His aura fluctuated slightly, indicating that the fierce battle had consumed a lot of his power.
Luo Chuan put one hand behind his back and landed back on the ground. He put away the Luo God Sword and quickly checked on Liu Mei behind him. Seeing that she was only slightly frightened and was not seriously injured, he was relieved.
True Person Huanglong, standing to the side, was already dumbfounded by what he saw.
His gaze toward Luo Chuan was filled with awe. In a short moment, Luo Chuan had killed Azure Dragonzi, who was at the peak of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. This strength far surpassed that of other cultivators of the same level and could be described as defying the heavens.
As expected of the patriarch of the Hengyue Sect!
But soon, True Person Huanglong realized what was happening, his expression instantly turning extremely solemn. He quickly walked up to Luo Chuan and said urgently:
"Ancestor, this place is not safe to stay any longer. You must take Liu Mei and leave immediately!"
"The death of Azure Dragonzi has caused such a great commotion that it will soon attract the attention of the Holy Sect's experts, and Long Panzi will immediately return!"
True Person Huanglong knew that Long Panzi's cultivation had already reached the legendary third step, a supreme existence far surpassing the Heavenly Human Realm, capable of destroying stars with a mere wave of his hand.
The current strength of Patriarch Luo Chuan is no match for Long Panzi. If Long Panzi catches up with them, the master and disciple will surely die.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chuan frowned slightly, looked at True Person Huanglong, and asked in a deep voice, "And what about you? You're coming with us."
He couldn't abandon True Person Huanglong and leave alone. If he left, Long Panzi would surely be furious with True Person Huanglong when he returned.
True Person Huanglong shook his head, his eyes resolute, and said in a determined tone, "I cannot leave. I am the Holy Emperor of the Vermilion Bird Holy Sect, holding a high position on Heavenly Pivot Star. Even if Long Panzi is furious, he will not kill me easily; at most, he will imprison me."
"But you are different. You are his must-have targets. Staying here means certain death."
True Person Huanglong had already made his plans, using himself as a bargaining chip to try and save Luo Chuan and Liu Mei's lives.
Luo Chuan wanted to say something more, insisting on taking him away with him, but True Person Huanglong wouldn't allow him to refuse.
Master True Person Huanglong rapidly formed hand seals, his spiritual energy surging wildly as he unleashed his natal magic weapon, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire Token.
The token was entirely crimson, radiating a blazing holy fire, and contained the supreme power of spatial teleportation.
"Ancestor, stop hesitating and go!"
Sensing Long Panzi's aura, True Person Huanglong also shouted and poured all his spiritual energy into the Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire Token.
The token instantly burst forth with a dazzling red light, forming a massive spatial teleportation array that enveloped Luo Chuan and Liu Mei.
" Huang Long!"
Luo Chuan tried to break free from the teleportation array, but was bound by a powerful force and unable to move.
"Ancestor, take care!"
True Person Huanglong looked at Luo Chuan and revealed a relieved smile, then activated the teleportation array with all his might.
With a flash of red light, Luo Chuan and Liu Mei's figures instantly disappeared from the teleportation array, teleported to a distant, unknown star field, completely escaping the range of the Cultivation Alliance Star Domain.
Just as Luo Chuan and his disciples were being sent away, a terrifying pressure, a hundred or even a thousand times stronger than that of Azure Dragonzi, suddenly descended from the sky.
A man dressed in a black and gold robe appeared in the courtyard in a flash. His face was cold and his eyes were sinister. He exuded the vast pressure of a third-step expert. It was Long Panzi.
Long Panzi had already arrived at the border and was about to negotiate with Lu Fuzi of the Luotian Star Domain when he suddenly sensed that Azure Dragonzi's aura had completely disappeared. He immediately felt something was wrong and abandoned his army, turning back in an instant.
When he saw the corpse of Azure Dragonzi in the deep pit in the courtyard, and sensed the lingering aura of Luo Chuan and the Ancient God in the air, his face instantly turned extremely gloomy, and his murderous aura soared to the sky, causing the entire world to tremble.
