"Die!"
Lu Ren shouted low. The essence, qi, and spirit within his body were frantically absorbed by the Reincarnation Ancient Pagoda. The pagoda suddenly expanded and began spinning wildly as it smashed toward Ancestor Jiang.

Two thousand years—far more terrifying than when he had used the Mad Demon
