Daoist Kui's eyes were filled with greed as he transformed into a gust of sinister wind, rushing towards Gu Feng's figure.

At this moment, Gu Feng was at the critical juncture of forming the elixir, his mind completely immersed in his spiritual sea, oblivious to the outside world, like a rabbit focused on foraging, unaware of the eagle eyeing it.

Just as the howling sinister wind approached within ten meters of Gu Feng, a black mist surged up, and Jiu Long punched towards the wind. Daoist Kui was obstructed, his figure faltering and retreating repeatedly.

"What powerful demon energy! Unfortunately, you've met me!"

Daoist Kui shrieked, suddenly summoning a bizarre giant sail, his hands rapidly forming seals. Instantly, the sky changed color, and powerful winds roared.

"Vile creature! Face my Demon-Suppressing Pure Yang Sword Formation!"

The giant sail spun rapidly, releasing countless golden sword energies. These sword energies were not ordinary; they contained refined pure yang energy, deadly to ordinary demon cultivators and ghost cultivators!

With a flick of Daoist Kui's finger, the sword energies crisscrossed, stabbing towards Jiu Long.

Jiu Long squinted his eyes, with Gu Feng right behind him, leaving no room for retreat. He immediately made up his mind, unleashing his full cultivation power. Dense black smoke instantly enveloped the area around him.

The violent sword energies, mixed with the demon-suppressing pure yang energy, pierced into the area covered by the black smoke, exploding everywhere, golden flames burning continuously.

A smile appeared at the corner of Daoist Kui's mouth. He was confident that no ordinary cultivator could withstand such a thunderous strike without dodging, let alone...

"Roar!"

A deep beast roar emanated from the black smoke!

The next moment, a jet of black flame shot out from the smoke, directly towards Daoist Kui's face!

Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

The black flame was extremely hot, catching Daoist Kui off guard, scorching his face red, smoke billowing from his seven orifices, almost shaking his Elemental Infant within!

"Ice Flame Nether Fire! How is this possible?!"

Before Daoist Kui could calm down, a massive black head suddenly emerged from the smoke.

It was a black dragon's head, covered in black scales, with large dragon horns burning with black flames.

The dragon head squinted its eyes, opening its mouth full of fangs, swiftly biting towards Daoist Kui!

"How can it be the Nether Black Dragon!? You... you're actually a royal demon cultivator!?"

Daoist Kui shrieked, riding his escape light, dodging to avoid the giant dragon's mouth.

Suddenly, darkness loomed overhead, and a massive black claw descended from the sky. He couldn't dodge in time, hurriedly raising his protective artifact!

"Boom!"

The enormous dragon claw smashed Daoist Kui's protective artifact, along with his body, into a mist of blood!

A cultivator's body is only slightly stronger than a mortal's. Without the protection of an artifact, how could it withstand such a heavy blow?

A golden Elemental Infant escaped from the dragon claw, flying up rapidly, its face full of terror.

The black dragon fully revealed its form, stretching a hundred meters long. It swung its massive tail, its dragon eyes narrowing, and a guttural sound emanated from its throat as it opened its mouth, spewing a jet of black flame towards the fleeing Elemental Infant!

"Ahhh!"

The violent black flame instantly cut off the Elemental Infant's escape route, enveloping it in a bone-chilling heat wave. Daoist Kui let out a miserable scream, and in just a moment, his spiritual soul was annihilated!

Ancestor Wan Ku was entangled in a battle in the sky with Gu Liantian, both at the peak of the Spirit Dividing realm, evenly matched. Hearing Daoist Kui's scream and seeing the black dragon appear, he immediately realized the situation was dire!

Gu Liantian seized the opportunity, focusing his mind, and delivered a fierce punch.

With this punch, the sky changed color, and the surrounding spiritual energy converged upon it!

Ancestor Wan Ku even felt that this punch had completely locked onto him, its righteous aura overwhelming and domineering!

This was the Gu Family's ancestral technique—Gu Zhan's Selfless Intent Fist!

A seemingly gentle punch, yet it carried an overwhelming intent, capable of moving the sun, moon, and mountains, leaving the opponent with no escape!

Ancestor Wan Ku took the punch solidly, the human puppet beside him crumbling into dust.

Gu Liantian frowned slightly, noticing the connection. It turned out these human puppets summoned by Ancestor Wan Ku had some mysterious link with him, allowing him to transfer fatal damage to them at critical moments.

Clutching his emaciated chest, Ancestor Wan Ku sneered, "Your skills are formidable, but unfortunately, my fate is not to end here, hahaha..."

"That may not be the case!" Gu Liantian smiled, his eyes widening fiercely, as an imperceptible energy wave spread from his forehead!

This energy swept over Ancestor Wan Ku's body, causing no tangible harm, but he retreated in shock, trembling, "This... is a domain!? You... you're a Body Fusion realm cultivator!?"

A domain is a unique skill only Body Fusion realm cultivators can use, allowing them to lock down the heavens and earth within a certain area for their own use!

A cultivator trapped within a domain is like a fly without wings, doomed to fail.

"I have only just glimpsed this path, still some distance from the Body Fusion realm."

Standing proudly against the wind, Gu Liantian said calmly, "But it's more than enough to deal with you!"

At this moment, the black dragon circled around to Gu Liantian's side, its sinister dragon eyes fixating on Ancestor Wan Ku's figure.

Ancestor Wan Ku's heart sank. Although Gu Liantian was still at the peak of the Spirit Dividing realm, his Daoist techniques were already at the half-step Body Fusion realm. Even this small half-step was beyond his reach, not to mention the black dragon's assistance, leaving him at a disadvantage.

Having cultivated for many years, Ancestor Wan Ku was shrewd and ruthless. He immediately turned and fled on his escape light!

Gu Liantian's mind moved with his will, instantly creating countless clones, and with a wave of his hand, he launched an attack on Ancestor Wan Ku's fleeing figure!
