Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

In the distant Red Sea's underground cavity, golden light suddenly burst forth, illuminating everything.

Out of nowhere, an expression of hope rose in Zhan Xingzi's determined eyes, as he softly murmured in his heart:

"Yi Taoist."

From the depths of the earth, the figure of Xiong Kui Taoist shot up toward the sky, appearing as if a golden crow had descended upon the mortal realm. He materialized behind Heavenly Ghost Meiji and Blood Sinner Wusheng in an instant.

Heavenly Ghost and Blood Sinner muttered to themselves, "Not good, we were careless!" Alas, it was already too late. Left with no choice, they hurriedly erected a barrier, attempting to resist the rapidly surging power.

Yi Chen's silver-white hair danced wildly, resembling an overwhelming Devil God. His twin fists swung forward, brutally striking the backs of Heavenly Ghost and Blood Sinner.

Bang! Bang!

The two figures were immediately struck as though by lightning, vomiting blood and being blasted three thousand miles away.

At that moment, a delayed and thunderous Taoist proclamation echoed across heaven and earth:

"I swear on your mother!"

"Caw! You two brats dared to ambush me, this is utterly outrageous!"

"If you don't kill me outright today, not a single one of you is leaving!"

Yi Chengzi, Yi Chengzi, Shocking Pure Yang Yi Chengzi has re-emerged, emanating an imposing presence that made hearts tremble.

High above in the sky, the towering figure of Xiong Kui Taoist glared wrathfully at the two retreating figures on the verge of fading into distant stars.

Yi Chen never thought that after a lifetime of hunting his prey, today the hunted would snap back at him.

Just moments earlier, he was internally reciting "Shen Hong," preparing to advance his True Technique. Who could have foreseen that the unreliable All Stars Dao Fruit would suddenly fail, leaving him vulnerable to an unexpected strike from Heavenly Ghost and Blood Sinner? He nearly choked from the attack.

Following his cultivation breakthrough, his True Technique advanced instantly, propelling him to the twenty-ninth realm. Yet now, he had been ambushed—and it succeeded.

This was nothing short of the ultimate insult to Yi Chengzi's professional career.

"You! What kind of monster are you?! How has your cultivation suddenly surged?"

"With such strength, why didn't you unleash it at the start? Why wait until we successfully broke the seal to attack?"

"Were you deliberately baiting us out before striking? No, that doesn't make sense. Previously, when we were at our weakest, your divine sense should've detected the location of Wan Xingzi's seal and traced it upstream to defeat us directly. There's no reason for this pants-down-hand-on-ass display."

A figure of a black-skirted beauty and a middle-aged man marked by crimson patterns darted swiftly from the distance, arriving in mere moments. Their eyes were filled with disbelief as they stared dumbfounded at Yi Chen, his hair flying and his aura overwhelming.

The two struggled to fathom the significance behind what had transpired.

"You want to make a guess?"

Yi Chen fixed his gaze on the pair in the distance, tilted his neck left and right, then straightened up before, seemingly without warning, shooting into the air and launching an overwhelming barrage of fist shadows!

"Caw! You mangy mutts, today I, Yi Chengzi, will blast you both into dust!"

"Too slow, too slow! You adorable fools—how could such puny strength ever hope to kill me?"

"Why not stand still and let me smash open your heads, eh? Sound good?"

"!@#￥%"

Staring at their frenzied adversary, Heavenly Ghost and Blood Sinner felt a frustration that made them want to vomit blood.

Never in their endless lives had they encountered an opponent so devoid of patterns in his strikes, wielding power so eccentric.

Heavenly Ghost Meiji let out an ear-piercing shriek akin to a banshee's wail. A strange melody burst into existence, transforming into countless razor-sharp arrows aimed at invading Yi Chen's Sea of Consciousness.

This terrifying demonic sound was nearly a hundredfold stronger than when she previously crossed dimensions.

This was the signature move for which Heavenly Ghost Meiji was famed—the true might of the Heavenly Ghost Dao Fruit. It evoked humanity's Seven Emotions and Six Desires, plunging its victims into endless longing until they became her slaves and playthings.

Against foes of equal or even superior strength, it would restrict their power, leaving no more than seventy percent of their full potential intact. But strangely, against this Taoist before her, her unparalleled divine skill was entirely ineffective.

Instead, the more intensely she channeled her skill, the more…excited he seemed?

The expression on his face was enough to send chills down her spine.

She had never encountered an enemy like this before.

"Meiji, stop screeching already! Have you not realized this man is devouring your power?"

"This Taoist is abnormal; don't waste your strength any further! I'm about to lose it—get over here and help me!"

A terrifying crimson giant loomed, spanning the heavens and the earth. With three heads and six arms, wielding a multitude of magic treasures, Blood Sinner clashed against Yi Chen's sky-filled barrage of punches. Yet with each collision, his qi churned, his Dao Fruit quaked.

At last, Blood Sinner couldn't hold back his fury, bellowing at the frenzied, overcommitted Meiji beside him.

Blood Sinner Wusheng understood Meiji's actions on some level; being suppressed even in your area of expertise would make anyone test their limits repeatedly.

Finally snapping back to herself, Meiji jolted in fright. Her eyes shimmered darkly for a brief moment before her expression drastically shifted.

"Damn it, Blood Sinner, this madman's power is still growing! He's using us to hone his skills—getting used to this newfound strength!"

"What kind of Dao Fruit did this man condense that his power is so bizarre?!"

"And he seems capable of identifying the weakest points of our powers… Who in hell is this lunatic?!"
