"Not good!"
Who is it?
Ye Tian and the other two's expressions changed drastically.
No one expected that someone would dare to steal from their family of immortal beings...
It seemed as if, in the blink of an eye, the dark golden seed would fall into the darkness.
Ye Tian's pupils shrank sharply, and the wisp of his innate Innate Immortal Qi exploded like a lit fuse.
Without hesitation, he transformed into a golden streak of light and punched towards the darkness's back. The fist imprint, carrying the ancient Daoist charm inherent in the depths of the Ye Clan's bloodline, was like an ancient mountain rising from the depths of time, crashing fiercely into the churning Dark Matter.
At the same time, Tang Fengtian's Sword Qi arrived.
A cyan Sword Qi, like a waterfall, slashed horizontally from the left. The tip of the sword was imbued with sharp Law of the Sword Dao, carrying a resolute intent to sever everything, and aimed directly at the right arm of darkness.
Wherever the Sword Qi passed, a thin, long rift was cleaved open in the void, with fragments of laws churning at the edges of the rift.
Ouyang Bin attacked from the right, his fist as powerful as a mountain, the law encompassing all the pressure of Immortal Qi, like a meteorite compressed to its limit, crashing into the darkness. Before his fist even landed, the air in the hall was already compressed, producing a series of muffled explosions.
In an instant, the three of them chose to attack simultaneously against the enemy!
Three attacks, from three directions, simultaneously locking onto the target.
well.
That laugh carried a nonchalant regret, as if one were watching three children charging at a ferocious adult beast with wooden sticks.
The next moment, his hand, which was suspended in mid-air, suddenly spread its five fingers wide.
A gray-black light shield exploded from his palm.
The three attacked together, striking the light shield and creating a circular shockwave. Fragments of law crackled and exploded like lit firecrackers, while the runes on the stone walls inside the hall flickered violently. The light shield remained completely still, without even a crack appearing.
Tang Fengtian's Sword Qi was severed in mid-air.
Ouyang Bin's punch stopped in front of the light shield, as if it had hit an invisible mountain wall.
Although Ye Tian's punch landed right in the center of the light shield, it felt like he was hitting a piece of ancient iron that had been polished countless times over the years. The recoil made his hands go numb.
A dark finger gently hooked its bend.
The light shield suddenly contracted, transforming into a pitch-black chain of laws, like a living snake, which sprang out from the center of the light shield and coiled towards Ye Tian's right arm.
"Not good!"
Ye Tian's expression changed, and he abruptly withdrew his fist and retreated. The chain grazed his wrist, carving a deep, bone-revealing groove into the stone wall.
That's it?
Tian Ming finally turned around.
His face, pale to the point of being almost transparent, wore an ancient smile that seemed out of place in the present era, as if he had witnessed this scene countless times before: three self-important young men trying to stop his hand from reaching for that object.
"You..."
His gaze swept from Ye Tian to Tang Fengtian, then to Ouyang Bin, his tone carrying a condescending pity. "Do you think you can leave here alive?"
" Tian Ming?"
Tang Fengtian's pupils suddenly contracted.
He had sensed something was wrong earlier.
Although Tian Ming's aura was still that of Quasi-Emperor, the texture of his laws had changed, carrying a coldness that belonged neither to the Emperor Pass nor to the Three Thousand Provinces, but came from another abyss.
"You..."
Ouyang Bin shouted, " Tian Ming? Or something else? What happened?"
Tian Ming did not answer, but in his dark red pupils, a wisp of extremely fine black energy was slowly churning, like bubbles rising from the depths of magma.
Ye Tian clenched his fists, his bloodline trembling violently. An instinct from the depths of his ancestral memories told him... this person was no longer him.
"Do it!"
Ye Tian didn't say another word. He took a step forward, and the golden fist imprint, wrapped in Immortal Qi, once again slammed towards Tian Ming.
It's impossible for the darkness to take away the Immortal Seed!
Tang Fengtian and Ouyang Bin exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, they made their move simultaneously.
The three attacks intertwined in the air, forming a dense net of laws that locked Tian Ming within it.
boom!
The hall erupted in chaos once more.
But this time, Tian Ming did not block it.
He was struck by three attacks simultaneously, his body splitting apart from the Dark Matter like shattered glass, exploding into a thick cloud of black mist.
The black mist churned in the air for a moment, then dissipated.
Tang Fengtian was stunned. "Dead? That easily?"
Ye Tian did not let go; his brows remained furrowed, and his gaze was fixed on the dissipating black mist.
He could sense that something was being nurtured within the black mist, like a seed encased in a shell, slowly cracking open.
Then, instead of dissipating, the black mist reformed.
More solid and heavier than before, the figure that emerged from the black mist was no longer Tian Ming's pale face.
Instead, it was a humanoid silhouette formed from pure Dark Matter, taller and thinner, shrouded in black mist, with only a pair of dark red eyes shining through the gaps in the mist, like two lit lamps.
Hehehehe...
The voice came from the depths of the black mist.
His voice was hoarse and low, carrying a laugh that seemed distant and unreal, "What a dog-eat-dog situation... Weren't you just fighting over the Immortal Seed? How come you've all teamed up the moment I reached out?"
"But it's alright."
The more united you are... the less trouble I have.
The voice paused, then added, "Killing them one by one is too troublesome. All of you come at once, and we can wipe them out in one fell swoop."
The air inside the hall suddenly froze.
A dense mass of Dark Matter surged wildly from the crack in the dome, like a flood that had been blocked for countless years finally finding its outlet, and quickly spread throughout the hall.
The Dark Matter fell onto the stone slab with a hissing sound, like cold water dripping into hot oil, stirring up rings of black smoke.
At the center of the Dark Matter, the humanoid silhouette that was taking shape grew larger and clearer.
He was shrouded in black mist, but the outline of the body beneath could be vaguely seen, like a human skeleton shrouded in darkness, slowly emerging from the deep water.
His aura far surpassed that of Quasi-Emperor.
It even carried a hint of the nascent imperial aura.
Ye Tian, Tang Fengtian, Ouyang Bin all took a step back at the same time.
For the first time, Tang Fengtian's voice cracked noticeably. "These are... invaders from Foreign Domain? How is that possible?"
"Isn't it said that Foreign Domain cannot cross the Emperor Pass?"
"Why was he able to descend upon Three Thousand Provinces?!"
Ouyang Bin's expression changed as well. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but in the end, he only managed to squeeze out a chilling sentence. "Unless... someone opens the door."
The moment those words were spoken, the three of them exchanged glances for a fleeting instant.
There's a mole within the organization.
Inside the Emperor Pass, someone colluded with Foreign Domain and opened a passage to the Three Thousand Provinces.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for beings from Foreign Domain to appear in this ancient ruin covered by the Law of the Immortal Dao.
