Seeing Luo Xiu charging at him with his halberd, his momentum unstoppable, Chi Xun merely regarded him with contempt.
"Impressive momentum, but a pity your actual strength is so weak!"
"Merely Gathering Spirit. You overestimate your abilities!"
With a wave of his hand, a Great Sword studded with colorful gemstones materialized out of thin air, and he slashed decisively toward Luo Xiu.
Sword and halberd collided with a clang that resonated through the heavens.
The Thunder Halberd in Luo Xiu's hand shattered, and his body was sent flying backward.
Chi Xun stood in place, looking with surprise at the black lightning that lingered on his sword.
"What kind of Taoist Arts is this? Quite interesting. It actually managed to withstand this king's sword."
"Kid, if you hand over your Taoist Arts, this king can grant you a swift end."
Luo Xiu knelt on the ground, staring at Chi Xun as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. To face a Half-step Earth Immortal head-on with the strength he could currently muster was indeed pushing it.
However, his goal had been achieved.
In the next moment, several chains burst from the ground at Chi Xun's feet, winding tightly around his legs. Simultaneously, Dou Dou poked her small head out from the ground, gripping her umbrella handle and laughing heartily.
"Chen Shuisheng, thanks for giving Dou Dou an opportunity! Watch Dou Dou electrocute this big idiot with high voltage!"
While Luo Xiu was attacking Chi Xun, Dou Dou had already taken the opportunity to use an earth-burrowing technique to prepare a sneak attack from underground.
"Queen-sister, you and Chen Shuisheng go! Dou Dou will hold them off!"
Luo Xiu and Chi Sha exchanged a glance and did not hesitate.
Chi Sha vanished in a flash, grabbing Luo Xiu's arm and pulling him into the sky.
With his legs bound by chains, Chi Xun found it difficult to break free for the moment. His face twisted with rage, he bellowed, "Stop them!"
Chi Sha was heading toward the Great Person Divine Palace, so Chi Xun knew exactly what she intended to do.
If Chi Sha succeeded in reconstructing her body, he would be utterly doomed!
Not far away, three Mahayana Realm guards exchanged glances, hesitating on whether to pursue.
Although Chi Xun now held great power, Chi Sha was, after all, the first queen who had ruled over all of Penglai Immortal Island!
Even after a thousand years, the first queen's reputation was still enough to strike fear into people's hearts!
...
In the Void, seeing flying behemoths approaching from all directions, Luo Xiu said to Chi Sha, "Just keep flying. Leave the rest to me!"
Chi Sha remained silent, immediately pushing her flying speed to its absolute limit.
At the same time, a black miasma swirled around Luo Xiu's right arm, exuding a thick aura of death.
"Luo Tian's Control over Xuanzhong."
"First Move."
"Heavenly Star Explosion!"
The next moment, a bizarre scene unfolded.
The fiercely charging behemoths suddenly paused in the Void. Their bodies trembled violently as they let out agonizing screams before exploding into clouds of blood mist.
For a moment, clouds of blood mist filled the sky, like blossoming, bright red fireworks!
The first move of Luo Tian Yu Xuan involved fusing pure physical force with Spiritual Power, injecting it into a target's body in an instant, and then detonating it.
These flying behemoths looked massive and formidable, but they were merely level-four or level-five Demon Beasts, equivalent to human Grandmasters. To Luo Xiu, they were no match at all.
Meanwhile, on the ground, Dou Dou quickly scrambled out of the earth, pulling on her umbrella handle with all her might.
Her little face was serious, and her large, watery eyes took on a sharp glint.
"It's not over yet! Witness my special move!"
"Super Electric Line!"
The chains binding Chi Xun rapidly extended and spread like dozens of newly sprouted tentacles, ensnaring the armored soldiers nearby.
In the next instant, the beach lit up with flashes of electricity, followed by a chorus of wails.
The Penglai Warriors with lower cultivation were instantly electrocuted to charred cinders.
The white smoke blanketing the beach was thick with the smell of burnt flesh.
Chi Xun let out a skyward roar as his body rapidly expanded. He forcefully broke free from the chains, transforming in moments into a ten-meter-tall giant!
"You dare kill my clansmen? You little wench, you're courting death!"
...
Elsewhere, Chi Sha's superior speed allowed her to outpace her pursuers and be the first to arrive at the Great Person Divine Palace.
Deep within the Divine Palace was a plaza, at the end of which stood a forbidden door.
It was a door that only Chi Sha could open.
Chi Sha stood before the door and activated a secret incantation with her Divine Sense, causing the great doors to slowly swing open.
Luo Xiu looked up and was astonished to see an endless, starry sky beyond the door, as if it were a gate leading into the depths of the cosmos.
But he soon realized it was not a real starry sky, but a background illusion.
Luo Xiu asked, "Is this a Small Cave Heaven you created yourself?"
Chi Sha nodded lightly and stepped forward.
Luo Xiu followed closely behind.
An ancient stone corridor with no visible supports floated stably in the void, extending straight ahead.
At the end of the corridor was a pentagonal altar.
In the center of that altar, a Jade Coffin rested silently.
Luo Xiu asked, "Is your body in that Jade Coffin?"
Chi Sha nodded lightly.
Soon, the two of them stopped before the Jade Coffin.
When the Jade Coffin was opened, Luo Xiu saw there was no body inside, only a coffin full of clear water giving off a white mist.
"This..."
Luo Xiu glanced at Chi Sha's profile. "Where is your body?"
Chi Sha's lips curved into a slight smile. "Fortunately, it's still here."
She then turned to Luo Xiu and said, "I am returning Luo Ying to you now. Afterward, I need you to guard the gate for me. I need about half an hour to reconstruct my body."
As her words fell, her soul departed from Luo Ying's body.
"Help me close the lid."
Luo Xiu was completely baffled and couldn't understand what Chi Sha intended to do. What puzzled him even more was why Chi Sha insisted her body was still there when the Jade Coffin was clearly empty.
But he had no time to dwell on it.
After closing the coffin lid, Luo Xiu supported the staggering Luo Ying, opened a spatial portal to the Land of Lawlessness with his left eye, and sent her through.
Luo Xiu then turned, stepped back onto the stone corridor, and walked out of the great door.
The next half an hour is bound to be a grueling battle.
I wonder how Dou Dou is doing.
Hearing the huge crashes and bangs coming from outside the palace, Luo Xiu knew Dou Dou was in the middle of a fierce fight and couldn't help but worry.
Then, without a word, Luo Xiu pulled six Holy Boi Religion Cultists from the Land of Lawlessness. He pinned them to the ground, breaking their arms and legs, then cast Elysian Nether Earth to resurrect Tuof, the Four Spirit Generals, and Fei Xiao.
Even though his Divine Sense had reached the Divine Separation realm, reviving so many experts at once was still incredibly draining.
However, it was far less strenuous than resurrecting Lin Tong.
In life, Tuof possessed the strength of a Half-step Earth Immortal, while the Four Spirit Generals and Fei Xiao were all at the Mahayana Realm. With such a lineup, Luo Xiu figured holding out for half an hour wouldn't be too difficult.
Luo Xiu instructed, "Tuof, your Bodies of the Dark Land can only be sustained for a limited time. Focus on killing the stronger enemies; don't worry about the small fry."
Tuof slapped his chest. "Don't worry, my Lord! When the time comes, I'll hit these bastards with Infinite Self-Detonation!"
Looking at Tuof's less-than-brilliant expression, Luo Xiu shook his head helplessly. "Self-detonating here will only destroy this palace, and I'll be killed along with it."
"Ah... You have a point, my Lord," Tuof admitted, scratching his head in embarrassment.
As a little time passed, the sound of urgent footsteps echoed across the plaza.
Luo Xiu glanced over and couldn't help but curse his luck.
After a fierce internal struggle, the three Mahayana Realm guards had ultimately decided to pursue them.
And behind them were five more elders, also at the Mahayana Realm!
Furthermore, there were hundreds of armored Penglai Warriors!
Luo Xiu couldn't help but sigh. Penglai Immortal Island's foundation was truly profound. He couldn't imagine how the Human Race had managed to fend off Chi Sha during her invasion of the outer world, let alone kill her and suppress her soul in the spring of the Ye Family Forbidden Grounds.
Tuof strode forward, his killing intent as cold as frost. "My Lord, leave it to us!"
Luo Xiu immediately sat down cross-legged, took out his half-bottle of Moonlight Divine Water, and consumed a single drop. He did this to replenish his Divine Sense, hoping to sustain Tuof and the others' Bodies of the Dark Land for as long as possible.
In the next moment, the plaza erupted with the sounds of battle!
But Luo Xiu had no time to watch the fight. He just sat cross-legged, as if in deep meditation.
Time trickled by.
A thick stench of blood suddenly wafted over to Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu opened his eyes and slowly rose to his feet.
The Bodies of the Dark Land belonging to Tuof, Fei Xiao, and the Four Spirit Generals had already vanished.
The square was a scene of devastation—riddled with craters, flowing with rivers of blood, and covered in corpses.
Fortunately, Tuof and his companions had dealt with the three guards and the five Mahayana Realm elders; their dead bodies now lay among the others.
However, there were still many Penglai Warriors left on the square. A quick count revealed no fewer than two hundred!
Luo Xiu bit the tip of his tongue, forcing himself to stay alert. He steadied his shaky body and drew the sheathed Dream and Asura from his Jade Pendant.
Sword in hand, he stood alone against two hundred Penglai Warriors.
"Come!"
"Fight!"
"If you want to enter this gate, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"
