Chapter 386

"Xiao Yan should be dead by now!" Bing He said, panting heavily; clearly, such an attack had taken a massive toll on him.

Old Ghost Zhaixing took a few deep breaths before speaking: "Even a seven-star Dou Zun would be severely injured by that strike, let alone him."

"I must say, this brat is truly the most talented person I have ever seen! Even if he dies today, it is enough to be his glory," Venerable Lei remarked with emotion.

"Hahaha! You are rejoicing too soon!" As the aftermath of the explosion faded, Xiao Yan was seen standing unharmed in the sky, looking just like a heavenly god.

"How is this possible!" Bing He and the others were left in a state of stupor, as if they were dreaming; they would have felt better even if Xiao Yan's clothes had been slightly torn!

The people of Ye Cheng were also filled with disbelief upon seeing that Xiao Yan was completely fine after facing the combined strike of four Dou Zuns.

"Truly, the waves behind the river push the waves ahead!" Venerable Tianhuo looked at Xiao Yan in the sky and felt a sense of emotion in his heart; he had been beaten like a dog when facing three Dou Zuns, while Xiao Yan was beating five Dou Zuns like dogs.

"Three Points Return to Origin Qi!"

Xiao Yan shouted, his palms flying up and down. The defensive shield that had originally enveloped him instantly transformed into a ball of light in the center of his palms, which he then suddenly blasted out.

The ball of light split into four in the sky, turning into four spheres of light. Each sphere carried an earth-shattering momentum, carving a pitch-black thin line through space as they swept toward Bing He and the others.

These four spheres of light had absorbed the full-force strike of Bing He and the other three, making their power incomparably terrifying.

Although Bing He and the others could not see the spheres of light, they could see the pitch-black cracks in space and feel the trembling coming from their souls.

Bing He and the other three desperately formed layers of defense in front of them, hoping to block this terrifying strike.

However, the idea was grand, but the reality was harsh; these defenses were like paper before the transparent spheres of light, which instantly penetrated the layers of defense and landed on their bodies.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Four thunderous sounds rang out. Huge explosions occurred directly on the surfaces of Bing He and the other three's bodies. The terrifying power was world-destroying, sending all four of them flying backward for an unknown distance, their lives hanging in the balance.

Xiao Yan looked in the direction where Bing He and the others had been sent flying, his eyes narrowing slightly. Although the previous strike was immensely powerful, it would still be difficult to kill them; at most, they would be severely injured.

Sure enough, under Xiao Yan's soul perception, two terrifying auras were rapidly condensing not far away. As time passed, these two auras grew increasingly powerful.

It was not just Xiao Yan; some experts in Ye Cheng also sensed these two world-destroying auras and looked toward the direction where Bing He and the others had flown.

One black and one white, two enormous figures appeared in everyone's field of vision. Each figure was several hundred zhang in size, looking incomparably horrifying.

It turned out that Bing He and Venerable Lei, seeing they were no match for Xiao Yan, had directly activated their sect's combined attack formation, gathering all their power into their own bodies, bringing their strength to around the five-star Dou Zun level.

"Good fellow! They've grown much larger!" Xiao Yan remarked with emotion, looking at the giant made of lightning and the frost giant made of black ice in the distance.

The strength gap between every level of Dou Zun is very large. Since entering the Dou Zong realm, Xiao Yan had only barely reached the equivalent of a four-star Dou Zun by combining his Dou Zun-level physical strength, his Spirit Realm soul, and the Yin Yang Dual Flames, which were close to fifth on the Exotic Fire Ranking.

Of course, Xiao Yan possessed several high-tier Dou Techniques, which also allowed him to fight across levels, so his true strength was equivalent to around a five-star Dou Zun.

"Xiao Yan, go to hell!" The frost giant transformed from Bing He suddenly threw a punch at Xiao Yan. The fist was like a flash of lightning, penetrating space directly to appear before Xiao Yan.

Facing this fist that blotted out the sky, Xiao Yan did not take it head-on. A flash of electricity flickered under his feet, and he directly dodged the strike.

"Don't think that only you can grow larger!" After dodging, a cold sneer curled the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth.

"Dharma Heaven and Earth!"

Xiao Yan shouted, his body expanding rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he became a thousand zhang tall, clad in golden armor and holding a pillar that reached the heavens, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

Venerable Lei and Bing He looked up at Xiao Yan, who was several times larger than them, and were instantly stunned on the spot. They relied on their sect's combined attack formation; what did Xiao Yan rely on to be able to do the same?

However, Venerable Lei and Bing He were not too worried, as there was still one person using a secret technique to increase his strength.

That person was Old Ghost Zhaixing. Old Ghost Zhaixing's strength was already at the peak of a five-star Dou Zun, and if he used a secret technique, his strength would at least reach a six-star Dou Zun.

Sure enough, an even more powerful aura swept over from the distance. A massive cloud of mist slowly rose and then gathered together, transforming into a giant nearly a thousand zhang tall.

After the giant wrapped in black Qi appeared, the sky dimmed significantly.

The people of Ye Cheng looked at the four giant figures in the sky and found it hard to breathe for a moment. Fortunately, the battle was in the sky; if it had been on the ground, Ye Cheng would surely have been reduced to ruins.

Xiao Yan looked at Old Ghost Zhaixing, who was holding a giant ghost-headed saber, and his eyes narrowed slightly. Although Old Ghost Zhaixing's size was inferior to Xiao Yan's, his aura already surpassed Xiao Yan's, as he was a six-star Dou Zun by nature, and his strength was nearing seven-star through the secret technique.

"Xiao Yan! You forced me to use a secret technique to forcibly increase my strength. Today, I will definitely capture you and make you suffer the tortures of the Soul Hall, making you wish for death but unable to die!" Old Ghost Zhaixing looked at Xiao Yan and said viciously. Repeated failures had caused him to lose his patience; at this moment, he only wanted to capture Xiao Yan and torture him in every way to vent his hatred.

Xiao Yan looked at the three people in front of him. All three had reached their peak state; defeating even one of them would take effort, let alone all three combined.

"Then let's try it!" Xiao Yan snorted coldly, a towering fighting spirit igniting in his heart. Regardless of victory or defeat, he only wanted a battle.

Xiao Yan stepped fiercely into the void, appearing before Old Ghost Zhaixing in an instant, and swung the pillar in his hand toward his head.

Old Ghost Zhaixing looked at the iron pillar falling toward his head, a cold sneer on his lips. He raised his giant saber directly above his head, blocking the iron rod.

"Clang!" A sound of metal clashing rang out. The space where the iron rod and the giant saber met twisted and then shattered directly, and the terrifying ripples of force spread rapidly.

Xiao Yan was not surprised to see Old Ghost Zhaixing block the strike. He immediately swung the iron rod in his hand toward his chest again. This strike was powerful and heavy, the iron rod moving with extreme speed, its surface even generating flames due to friction with the air.
