"Boom!"
A terrifying storm of Dou Qi aura swept out of the void like Hai Xiao, with brilliant flames mixed with dense black mist, the two resembling two giant dragons locked in combat, as this terrifying storm of Dou Qi aura swept in all directions.
At this moment, the entire space trembled violently, and even the world above that space, which had just returned to peace and tranquility, trembled slightly.
"Huh?! What... what's going on?"
Above the endless forest, a flash of light appeared, and then Elder Luo's figure appeared in the void, his sharp old eyes staring intently at the land in the forest below.
Just now, Elder Luo clearly felt that this space was experiencing a slight tremor, and the cause of the tremor was the ground right in front of him.
To be precise, it should be deep within this earth!
With Elder Luo's cultivation and extraordinary perception, even though he couldn't take in all the scenes of the source, he could still tell that the power that made this space tremble originated from two Dou Technique!
Upon realizing this, Elder Luo's expression changed slightly. Hei Mu had dragged Xiao Yan into the depths of this earth for half a month. With Hei Mu's strength, Xiao Yan would likely have already become a dead soul under his claws within that time. But if that's the case, then who is the one using this Dou Technique now?
The thought of Xiao Yan caused Elder Luo's previously somber expression to darken further. Ultimately, the cause of Xiao Yan's accident lay with him...
But now, one problem after another has arisen. In just half a month, the earth has begun to tremble again.
"What... what exactly happened? Could it be that Yan Xiao is still alive? With Hei Mu's methods, how could he possibly have kept Yan Xiao alive..."
"Moreover, Yan Xiao was already at his limit at that time. Even if he has recovered somewhat in the past two weeks, he would still be no match for Hei Mu. So this person..."
After a moment's analysis, Elder Luo's eyes lit up, and his expression seemed to recall something. His hand, hidden beneath his sleeve, clenched slightly, and he muttered to himself:
"Could it be... that old Qing Mu? He's broken free?!"
Thinking of this, Elder Luo felt a little relieved. Now that Xiao Yan was in trouble, the fact that Qing Mu was alive was, in a way, a relatively good outcome for him.
But then, Elder Luo frowned again. Based on his understanding of the two, Hei Mu was stronger than Qing Mu. In the past, it was only by joining forces with Qing Mu that they were able to barely suppress Hei Mu.
Although Hei Mu had exhausted all the power he had accumulated over the past thousand years in the great battle half a month ago, Qing Mu had also suffered considerable losses in that battle, and with Hei Mu's control, the power within his body must have been completely depleted.
After half a month of recovery, even if Hei Mu cannot return to his previous state, he is certainly not Qing Mu can handle. If Qing Mu were to fight him now, the outcome would definitely be dire.
Upon thinking of this, the relaxed expression on Elder Luo's face suddenly tensed up again.
After a moment's hesitation, Elder Luo Elder Luo quickly regained his composure, flipped his hand, and a jade pendant appeared in his palm.
The moment the jade pendant appeared, Elder Luo clenched his fist, and the verdant jade pendant was instantly crushed into a pile of stone powder.
At the same time, deep within the vast forest, a flash of light appeared, and dozens of figures soared into the void, transforming into streaks of emerald meteors that swiftly flew towards Elder Luo.
" Elder Luo!"
Upon approaching, the dozens of figures stopped in their tracks, stood in mid-air, bowed respectfully to Elder Luo, and spoke words of reverence.
At this moment, Elder Luo had no time to concern himself with such formalities. He waved his hand haphazardly and said:
"Disperse immediately and set up a large formation outside the mountains and forests. A fierce battle is likely to take place soon. During this time, you must not leave your posts without authorization and must remain vigilant at all times. If there is any movement, do not notify me; activate the formation immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of figures clad in green robes responded in unison. However, Elder Luo was worried about the situation below and was about to head over.
" Elder Luo, what happened? Why Elder Luo in such a hurry?"
Just as Elder Luo turned around, the person closest to Elder Luo hesitated for a moment before finally asking a question.
Upon hearing this, Elder Luo was immediately filled with rage, wishing he could slap the person who spoke to death.
The great battle is over, and the clan leader has been captured. Now you're asking me what happened? How could this not enrage Elder Luo?
"You... good! Good! Good! You're all really something! What a fine Thirty-Two Spirit Guards of the Ginseng Spirit Clan! You're all so stubborn, not even when you're about to die! Get back to your positions and set up the formation!"
With a furious shout, the thirty-two men shuddered and dared not utter another word, quickly lowering their heads and retreating.
Although Elder Luo was not a member of their Ginseng Spirit Clan, they were well aware that Elder Luo's status in the Ginseng Spirit Clan was no different from that of the clan leader. Naturally, they could not bear the clan leader's anger.
Glaring angrily at the departing figures of the spirit guards, Elder Luo, filled with disappointment, flicked his wide sleeves and muttered under his breath:
"Hmph! No wonder the once mighty Ginseng Spirit Clan has fallen to this state. How could such people protect the Ginseng Spirit Clan? You've truly lived in peace for too long, and have forgotten what the world is really like..."
Coming to his senses, Elder Luo looked down at the earth again, his expression becoming worried.
"Sigh... I hope that old guy can break through. Once he's on the surface, everything will be much easier. This time, we'll make sure that Hei Mu doesn't leave alive!"
However, compared to Elder Luo's speculations and worries on the ground, the scene beneath the earth in that mysterious space was quite different.
A fierce storm of Dou Qi aura swept across the entire space. In the void, three of the five petals of the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus had already faded, leaving only the final lotus heart...
Only then did Hei Mu truly see the faint light and shadow on the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus, and the face of that light and shadow was almost identical to Xiao Yan!
Upon seeing this, Hei Mu was once again shocked. Putting aside the fact that this Dou Technique was the pinnacle of Human Class Dou Technique, the light and shadow alone were enough to amaze him.
This Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus was actually created by Xiao Yan!
After three terrifying Dou Qi, Hei Mu clearly sensed that the power of the Fire Lotus was growing stronger with each attack, and the next clash would likely be even more terrifying!
"What... what kind of monster is this kid? He's only Half-Emperor, how could he create something so terrifying? Is this really something a human could do...?"
If it were a normal Human Class Dou Technique, without the transformation of Dou Technique Spirit Manifestation, even if the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus was quite powerful, Hei Mu would be able to face it with ease. However, given the current situation, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The terror of the Dou Technique Spirit Manifestation lies in its ability to unleash the full power of Human Class Dou Technique Human Class Dou Technique the maximum extent, bringing out the full potential of their power—something that ordinary Human Class Dou Technique cannot match.
And it was precisely because of this that Hei Mu knew that the remaining two layers of lotus petals would possess a power far more terrifying than he had imagined!
Looking back at the Heaven-Seizing Claw, it truly lives up to its reputation as Intent Class Dou Technique. Although its power is not what it used to be, the enormous claw still maintains its integrity, and the power within it is incomparably formidable.
In comparison, Xiao Yan's Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus was as insignificant as dust before it.
Looking at Xiao Yan now, he was already weak and pale, his bright eyes were sunken as if they were deeply embedded in their sockets, and his condition was extremely weak. If he hadn't been forced to stay alive by his spirit, Xiao Yan would probably have already collapsed somewhere!
After a brief silence, the fiery lotus petals separated from their original form once more in the void...
A surge of black mist erupted once more from the surface of the Heaven-Seizing Claw, and the final bombardment finally arrived...
