Retreat!

Sssss!

Numerous brilliant patterns lit up, illuminating the void.

"You trying to escape?"

The Yinlin Elder sneered, 'Ruthless Empress, in fact, when you invaded the Great Chang Star Domain, you had already entered our killing formation. Now you know to flee? What were you doing earlier?'

Merely the oppressive pressure made them feel an urge to spit blood!

Qi Chun Jing's natal character 'person' also grew somewhat dim before this momentum.

The Black Dragon Elder snorted coldly, 'In the face of absolute power, all struggle is futile!'

He flicked his sleeve.

The power of his troops gathered as one, and a colossal black dragon coiled upward, its body boundless, with only its two eyes like stars.

This oppressive feeling is too intense!

The Reincarnation Field shattered inch by inch.

Seeing this, Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, 'Only my master can intervene.'

"Oh?" the Yinlin Elder laughed, 'Perfect timing to have Lu Xuan come out! He's the big catch this time! The Cangwu Old Ancestor has been waiting a long while.'

"Last time, the Cangwu Old Ancestor never truly crossed blows with Lu Xuan; he felt some regret."

"This time, we can finally test Lu Xuan's true mettle!"

Ye Chen gave a cold snort, gazed into the depths of the void, and called out, 'Master!'
