Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 499 - 341: Danger Lurks at Every Turn, Everyone is Alarmed!
```
Boom!
At the moment of confrontation, the sky was immediately filled with fierce explosions.
The fiery Extreme Origin clashed with the ceaseless blood river, and for a while, they were at a stalemate.
The fierce winds stirred up by the battle unraveled both their hair buns simultaneously.
"Not bad, Lord Tan Lang," Yi Chen commented.
"You too, possess the means to exhilarate a Daoist to his core, Xue Lingzi," replied Yi Chengzi.
Their gazes locked; then, they both withdrew their moves.
However, this withdrawal was not a cessation of battle but preparation for a fiercer fight.
In unison, they both reacted.
Yi Chen's three-piece Qilin armor suddenly covered him, a small cycle instantly formed, creating an invisible force field. For a moment, Yi Chen felt his physical strength surge again.
He vibrated his long halberd, assaulting Xue Lingzi with a relentless barrage of strikes.
He moved like a drunken immortal, tearing apart flowing clouds.
Xue Lingzi summoned a bead that resembled a bloody agate, embedding it into his forehead's third eye.
The bead was incredibly eerie. Inside, a sea of blood roared sky-high. Even through the bead, the roaring and churning of the blood could be heard. Bolstered by this power, Xue Lingzi's inverted blood river became even more formidable,
Even though the blood river was suppressed by the Extreme Origin, pushed back by one-tenth towards Xue Lingzi, Yi Chen's halberd strikes were all withstood by the blood river.
Within the golden palace, the top figures from the sixteen major sects were all intensely observing the battle unfolding in the sky.
Upon seeing Yi Chen don his holy armor, Chen Haichao's expression immediately changed, then he became relieved, "The bracer and body armor on Lord Tan Lang, if I'm not seeing wrong, could they be the long-lost Qilin Holy Armor?"
Regrettably, only three pieces were gathered, failing to achieve the grand cycle power of the Qilin Holy Armor. Otherwise, Xue Lingzi would indeed be in big trouble."
"Hehe, Chen Haichao, have you no shame? If Yuan Jun remembers correctly, that blood bead was your previous magical weapon, the Blood Hell Magic Bead, wasn't it? You actually lent your treasure to Xue Lingzi for this battle. Xiao Lang's armor is his own," Yuan Jun glanced at Chen Haichao and couldn't help but mock him with his words.
The Blood Hell Magic Bead, with this top-tier demonic artifact's enhancement, Xue Lingzi was like having an extra mana container. Presumably, the Controlling Spirit Holy Puppet Sect had previously gathered intelligence on Yi Chen, knowing his mana was extremely potent, hence specially prepared to counter Yi Chen's tactic.
"What's wrong, can't I no longer want this treasure and give it to my foremost disciple? Did I break any rules?"
"Moreover, Yuan Jun might not know my previous identity—I too am a barbarian."
Chen Haichao's expression remained undisturbed, a picture of utter nonchalance, which gnawed at Yuan Jun, leaving him frustrated and powerless to respond.
"You want to deplete my mana and then counterattack? Xue Lingzi, you really played a good hand, must be your master's teaching," Yi Chen said.
"Sadly, my Extreme Origin is infinite, borrowing the energy of the heavens!"
Three great blood rivers enveloped Xue Lingzi, circling him madly, rarely attacking. With Yi Chen's combat wisdom, it was impossible not to discern his opponent's intention.
Amidst his roaring, seven orbs of light sprang forth from next to Yi Chen's Cultivation Body, madly spinning as they ascended towards the heavens.
Xue Lingzi's pupils flashed with a strange light as he summoned the blood river in the sky, attempting to extinguish the orbs several times. However, no matter how many he destroyed, Yi Chen simply replaced them, after several tug-of-wars, and Xue Lingzi's face revealed an expression as if he had swallowed a gut-wrenching nine-loop intestine.
Utterly disgusting.
He had assumed that this move would certainly come at a price, but seeing Yi Chen toss the Extreme Origin light orbs as if they cost nothing, Xue Lingzi realized that even if there was a cost, it must be minimal.
At that moment, he started to understand the feelings of those who had faced Yi Chen in battle before.
If one couldn't defeat him with an overwhelmingly strong posture, dragging the fight out with him would most likely result in one's own loss.
Disgusting, truly disgusting.
Xue Lingzi felt somewhat relieved that he had accepted the Blood Hell Magic Bead from his master.
"If that's the case, even if I have to reveal some of my hidden cards, it can't be helped."
Watching the increasingly ferocious Yi Chen, Xue Lingzi steeled his heart. Decisive, he conjured a headless demonic shadow wielding a blood knife, which suddenly appeared in the firmament.
The demon wore a breastplate over its chest, and a fine slit opened at its navel, emitting black demonic Qi continuously.
With a single wave of his hand, Xue Lingzi directed the demonic shadow wrapped in a blood river, joining him in a pincer attack toward Yi Chen.
What he didn't notice was the flicker of excitement in Yi Chen's eyes at that moment.
"This demon corpse is done for. Daozun won't be able to save it, Yi Chengzi said so himself."
He had deliberately been restrained so far, using a strategy of "fueling the fire," for fear that Xue Lingzi wouldn't summon this demon and would simply lose outright. Now, this development was exactly what he had hoped for.
```
This demon was slightly stronger than the Purple Crystal Demi-human, easily worth 280,000. Where else could one find such a good deal?
Divine Power activation!
Phantom Shadow!
Shape Shift!
With one step, Yi Chen suddenly appeared beside the ancient demon, and the dazzling Extreme Origin light immediately changed Xue Lingzi's expression.
Halberd Six - World Upside Down - God Annihilation.
The technique of Annihilation of Gods reappeared, and in an unguarded moment, the huge demonic corpse was pierced through the heart by Yi Chen's halberd.
At this moment, his expression was indifferent as he lifted the corpse of the ancient demon high, as if he were picking up some trash.
This time, Yi Chen did not hold back any longer. The stacked might of a full-strength blow in his Holy Seal state directly speared the headless ancient demon.
No more pretending, he laid his cards on the table.
With a crack, the breastplate of the headless ancient demon at the bust broke and fell off due to the impact from Yi Chen, revealing two gray, lifeless eyes underneath.
"Xue Lingzi, I'm returning your puppet's beautiful eyes to you," he said.
Before his words could finish, Yi Chen grinned, and with a tearing sound, the gigantic corpse of the headless bone demon was instantly split in two. He slapped his halberd sideways, and the fractured breastplate, like a railgun, burned with light in mid-air as it violently assaulted Xue Lingzi.
A stream of information suddenly flashed before Yi Chen's eyes.
[You have successfully killed the Headless Ancient Demon Corpse, gaining 280,000 Deep Red Points.]

At this moment, the entire Golden Palace was in shock!
"How is this possible? How come Lord Tan Lang's move has suddenly increased in power so drastically?"
"Even if this member of the Molo Ke tribe, once turned into a corpse puppet, is weaker than before, this is still too exaggerated. This level of power is something only those in the Dao Mastery Realm could possess. Lord Tan Lang hasn't condensed the Dao Mastery domain, so why has this happened?"
"That's naturally because Lord Tan Lang's foundation is exceedingly robust. The unparalleled Divine Power, combined with his sudden outburst, led to this outcome," said the Millennium Emperor, who had been silent all this while, as he gave Chen Haichao a peculiar look before suddenly speaking up.
Chen Haichao, facing the mocking looks of the crowd, suddenly laughed, "This isn't over yet. Just keep watching."
"What?" The gorgeously dressed woman from the Qian Yuan Sword Sect suddenly cried out in surprise.
....
....
"Is this the only purity you have? Xue Lingzi, if this is all you've got, today's problem for you isn't about winning or losing, but living or dying," Yi Chen said.
In the vast expanse of the blue nether, the winds of slaughter blew once again, as the fierce Extreme Origin force danced in the sky. The Daoist holding the Holy Halberd had a face full of cold disappointment.
At that moment, after Xue Lingzi caught the broken breastplate that had been forcefully hurled at him, a morbid smile suddenly spread across his face.
"Lord Tan Lang, don't you think my puppet died a bit too easily?"
"Even though it lacks full spirituality, this is a corpse puppet with the embryonic power of Dao Mastery. If it were not so, how could you have come here?"
"If it were not so, how would you, Lord Tan Lang, die at my hands? I, Xue Lingzi, always keep my word. I promised to avenge Junior Brother Ling, and so you must die!" he said, laughing maniacally.
In the midst of the laughter, countless blood-colored tadpole-like runes emerged from within the blood mist of the ancient demon corpse slain by Yi Chen.
Taking his position as the center, nine great blood pillars soared into the sky!
"Lord Tan Lang, this is my Blood River Grand Grinding Disc divine technique combined with the nine blood god pillars, forming the ultimate killing array which I call the Heaven and Earth Grand Grinding Disc. Today, you and I will fight to the death!"
"I can take that final step at any moment and ascend to Dao Mastery. Lord Tan Lang, since you have entered the formation, you might as well stay," he said.
"Junior Brother Ling, watch as your senior brother avenges you. Within my great formation, which seals the four poles and eight directions, you, Lord Tan Lang, might as well try if your spatial Divine Power can help you escape," Xue Lingzi roared.
Amid the roar, an ancient mirror flew out, hanging high outside the domain of the nine blood god pillars. A picture of a person's brain appeared from the mirror, through which one could vaguely see Ling Xudu's resentful gaze peering out from the other side.
As Yi Chen plotted against Xue Lingzi, Xue Lingzi was also plotting against Yi Chen.
Both had achieved their objectives.
Xue Lingzi's aura skyrocketed crazily as he divided into nine forms, and with spirit-controlling thoughts, he entered the nine towering blood god pillars.
Suddenly, Yi Chen felt as if he had fallen into an endless sea of blood.
Looking down at the blood sea prison below him, he also burst into laughter:
"Run? Why would I run?" he asked.
"Xue Lingzi, dare to fight to the death with my World-Shaking Pure Yang? How many lives do you have to play with me?" Yi Chen challenged.
