At this moment, Gu Ming's heart was filled with rage. This rage wasn't directed at Yao Chen, but at Hun Changqing, whom he found utterly disgusting, like swallowing a fly! He was simply inhuman!
Consumed by anger, Gu Ming had forgotten Gu Xun'er's instruction not to harm Hun Changqing. He now had only one thought: to beat Hun Changqing into a dead dog, rendering him immobile, before handing him over to Gu Xun'er. He didn't care whether Gu Xun'er would blame him; if he didn't give Hun Changqing a good beating, he feared he would become ill from holding it in!
Gu Ming coldly glanced at Yao Chen, then probed the surrounding aura. Finding he still couldn't sense Hun Changqing's presence, he sneered,
"Since you won't come out, then I'll force you out!"
With that, Gu Ming's aura gathered, his battle qi surged, and as his aura exploded, the sky darkened. Strong gusts of energy howled around him, their power terrifying.
"Mountain-Opening Seal, Sea-Turning Seal, Earth-Covering Seal, Heaven-Annihilating Seal, Ancient Emperor Seal, the five seals unite, open!"
Gu Ming shouted loudly, his voice booming. As his words fell, energy surged throughout the entire Maple City area. The earth began to crack, space was compressed and collapsed by the energy, and fragments of space fell to the ground like meteors.
The five seals began to converge in the sky, then began to interact and merge. A dazzling golden light flashed, and the five seals finally condensed into an enormous seal platform. An ancient and profound aura, accompanied by terrifying power, emanated from the platform. Hun
Changqing, who had been hiding in the shadows, was forced to reveal himself by the space that was cracking inch by inch. After all, he was not a Dou Zun at the time, and his use of spatial power was far inferior to that of a Dou Zun.
After revealing himself, Hun Changqing quickly came to Yao Chen's side. Gu Ming's aura was terrifying and he was being locked onto by Gu Ming. Nowhere was safe for him. Only by coming to Yao Chen could he be protected.
Yao Chen glanced at Hun Changqing, who was running towards him excitedly, then sensed the battle techniques that Gu Ming had just condensed. He asked, somewhat speechlessly,
"Little Changqing, how did you manage to provoke someone from the Ancient Clan? And such a terrifyingly powerful one at that! Judging by his current form, he's already unleashing the power of a mid-level Heaven-rank battle technique! Even in my prime, it would take me a considerable amount of effort to withstand such an attack!"
Hun Changqing, upon hearing this, felt a pang of unease and said somewhat sheepishly,
"I provoked their young lady..."
Yao Chen's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief. He stared at Hun Changqing with the look of someone looking at a monster, making Hun Changqing feel uneasy. He quickly explained,
"It was an accident, just an accident..."
Yao Chen was truly impressed by Hun Changqing, feeling utterly speechless. He liked Hun Changqing in many ways, except when it came to women... well, let's not talk about that!
As the energy in the sky grew increasingly terrifying, Yao Chen forcibly suppressed his helplessness and urge to complain. He knew this wasn't the time to investigate these issues.
When the energy within the massive platform in the sky reached its peak, its light intensified, and it slammed down fiercely towards Yao Chen and Hun Changqing.
With the platform's descent, sonic booms and cracking sounds from the compression and collapse of air and space filled the air.
Yao Chen's gaze turned solemn. He took a deep breath, and white flames surged violently once more, climbing and spreading rapidly towards the golden platform that was engulfing them. Looking for someone in Dortmund todayWilling to lie about how we met Flames surged upwards, enveloping the seal platform. For a moment, the platform was actually supported by Yao Chen's Bone Spirit Cold Fire, slowing its descent.
Although the flames held the platform, Yao Chen's grim expression and furrowed brows showed he was struggling. He was, after all, merely a soul, unable to unleash much of his full power, and his battle qi recovery and manipulation were inferior to Gu Ming's, who possessed a physical body.
Behind Yao Chen, Hun Changqing was severely suppressed by the overwhelming force of the seal platform, his Taiyin True Qi struggling to circulate. This was Gu Ming's special consideration, directly diverting some energy to Hun Changqing; otherwise, the platform wouldn't have been held so easily by Yao Chen.
Seeing Yao Chen's continued resistance, Gu Ming sneered, his battle qi surging once more as he swung his hand down fiercely towards Yao Chen.
Instantly, the light from the seal platform surged once more, and Yao Chen felt the impact from it intensify, making it even more difficult for him to withstand.
At this moment, even more energy poured down from the platform, bypassing Yao Chen and frantically impacting Hun Changqing beside him. Yao Chen had no good way to deal with this; preoccupied with resisting the falling platform, he couldn't spare any attention to help Hun Changqing defend against the energy. Hun Changqing could only pray for his own survival. Hun
Changqing, overwhelmed by the terrifying energy pressure, as vast as a towering mountain, had his eyes bloodshot and his face contorted.
He tried to use his Taiyin True Qi to resist, but it was instantly dispersed upon contact with the energy on the platform. This wasn't because his Taiyin True Qi was inferior to the platform's energy, but because the difference between Hun Changqing and Gu Ming was too great!
The energy from the platform surged wildly into Hun Changqing's body, rampaging and destroying his meridians, bones, and flesh.
Hun Changqing's body was in complete disarray. Crimson blood with a silvery sheen seeped from his seven orifices, making him look utterly terrifying, like a vengeful ghost.
Sensing the state of his body, Hun Changqing knew that if things continued this way, his physical body would definitely collapse. Even the Three Lights Divine Water wouldn't be able to heal his injuries quickly enough. He had to find a way to stop the rampage of these energies.
Hun Changqing's mind raced like lightning. In moments of crisis, his thoughts became even clearer. Then, as if struck by a sudden idea, he gritted his teeth, made a decisive move, and formed a hand seal.
The Weak Water instantly circulated within Hun Changqing's body, transforming into a pitch-black vortex at his heart. This vortex then emitted a terrifying suction force, frantically drawing in the foreign energy, which was then broken down and transformed into Taiyin True Qi using the properties of the Weak Water.
These energies transformed into Yin True Qi, which Hun Changqing now mobilized, heading towards a barrier he had previously attempted to breach but failed to reach—the barrier that had blocked him from advancing to the Dou Zun realm! Hun Changqing was now attempting to use the power of ancient techniques to break through this Dou Zun barrier, which was as solid as a rock to him!
