However, no matter how the Fire Lord called out, the Water Lord did not respond. Her body gradually grew cold, and her beautiful eyes lost their luster.

"The Water Venerable didn't die, he just collapsed from hypothermia," Jiang Chuan said.

"Hypothermia?" Fire Lord suddenly realized. He grasped Water Lord's slender hand, channeled the immense power of his flames, and continuously channeled the warmth into Water Lord's body. As Water Lord felt his body temperature gradually rise, his complexion slowly became rosy.

"Fire Lord, forcibly injecting your inner force like this will harm her." Jiang Chuan was speechless at Fire Lord's actions.

"I don't care, as long as she can wake up, I'm willing to take on anything." Fire Lord gazed at Water Lord with deep affection, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.

Fire Lord continued to warm Water Lord's body with his inner strength.

A comfortable expression gradually appeared on Shui Zun's face.

Her body also began to show slight movements.

"Water Venerable, can you feel it?"

"I am the Fire Lord, and I will always be here with you."

"Open your eyes and look at me."

The Fire Lord called out gently.

Suddenly, the Water Venerable's eyes twitched slightly and slowly opened. Her gaze fell on the Fire Venerable's face, and she said unhappily, "Why is it you, not the Earth Venerable, who came to save me?"

Water Venerable's words made Fire Venerable somewhat embarrassed.

Fire Lord changed the subject, looking at Water Lord and asking with concern, "How are your injuries? Is anything bothering you?"

Water Venerable rolled his eyes at him and said, "What could possibly be wrong with me? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." Fire Venerable smiled awkwardly. He knew Water Venerable had misunderstood his concern, but he was too clumsy with words to explain.

When Shui Zun lost consciousness, she imagined waking up in Tu Zun's arms. In a weak, hoarse voice, she said to him, "Tu Zun, I'm so cold." Then Tu Zun held her hand tightly, passing on his warmth to her and said, "I'm here. You're not cold anymore."

The Earth God sat in a chair.

They had long since put aside their romantic feelings for their children.

He was solely focused on how to make a greater contribution to the Diviner Alliance.

His eyes were firm, and his face was etched with the marks of time—a testament to a will that remained steadfast despite the vicissitudes of life.

The clothes worn by the Earth God were printed with a huge world map, which was densely marked with various colors. These were the traces of his life's struggles and the results of his travels for power.

Jiang Chuan walked off the field and toward Li Yi, needing some water to replenish the fluids he had lost.

When Li Yi saw Jiang Chuan coming over, she quickly took out a water bottle from her bag and handed it to him. Jiang Chuan took the water bottle and drank it in big gulps. After drinking the water, he felt much better.

Li Yi looked at Jiang Chuan and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Chuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Xiao Yi, I'm fine, just a little dehydrated."

Li Yi gently patted Jiang Chuan on the shoulder and said, "You've worked hard."

At this moment, Li Chunfeng walked over and said with a smile, "You must be feeling the strain from defeating four Venerables in a row."

"It was a close call, but thanks to the information you provided before the battle, I avoided many detours," Jiang Chuan replied.

Li Chunfeng nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes, and said, "Being able to make full use of resources is indeed the key to victory. However, don't let your guard down, the challenges ahead will be even more difficult."

Jiang Chuan wholeheartedly agreed. Although he had achieved victory, the road ahead was still full of unknowns and challenges. However, he had no intention of backing down; on the contrary, he became even more determined.

"I will handle this carefully," Jiang Chuan said firmly.

Li Chunfeng looked at him, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes, and said, "Remember, when facing a powerful enemy, you not only need to have great strength, but also an indomitable heart."

Jiang Chuan nodded slightly, looked in the direction where the Venerable One was sitting, and found that the Water Venerable One was no longer in danger, while the Earth Venerable One behind her slowly walked towards the arena.

"The battle has begun. Good luck," Li Chunfeng said.

Jiang Chuan quickly made a quick stop and walked toward the center of the field. His eyes were resolute and his steps were steady. The upcoming match would be a tough battle. He took a deep breath and silently cheered himself on.

Tu Zun was not fond of talking, so he did not have much interaction with Jiang Chuan, but instead extended a gesture of invitation.

Jiang Chuan nodded slightly, returned a firm look to Tu Zun, summoned the Dragon Roar Sword in his palm, and, imbued with the power of thunder within his body, swung it fiercely toward Tu Zun's head.

Seeing this, Tu Zun frowned slightly. He couldn't sense Jiang Chuan's fierceness while watching the battle, but the aura he exuded when they actually fought was extraordinary. Tu Zun calmly manipulated the soil in front of him, and the soil seemed to have a life of its own, quickly condensing into a huge fist, which smashed fiercely towards Jiang Chuan's Dragon Roar Sword.

Jiang Chuan's eyes turned cold, and lightning flashed on the tip of his sword, carrying an aura of destruction, as it collided with the enormous fist.

In an instant, like lightning.

A storm of energy surged outwards.

The ground was torn open with deep cracks.

The surrounding trees were uprooted, and soil was scattered everywhere.

The duel between Jiangchuan and Tuzun.

It seemed to have triggered a disturbance in nature.

It's frightening.

However, Jiang Chuan did not back down. His eyes were firm, and he wielded the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand like lightning, carrying the power of thunder, launching fierce attacks on the Earth God time and time again. The Earth God remained calm and composed, manipulating the soil like an unparalleled god, as steady as a rock.

"What are you waiting for?" Jiang Chuan asked as the two forces locked in a standoff.

Jiang Chuan's voice carried a hint of urgency. He felt that although his sword strikes were fierce, he was still unable to break through the Earth God's defense. If he was not mistaken, the Earth God must be waiting for something, and he had to solve this mystery in order to find the key to victory.

Tu Zun smiled slightly, a glint of unfathomable light flashing in his eyes, and said, "I am waiting for your limit."

His words were brief and firm, yet they stirred something within Jiang Chuan. It was not that the Earth Venerable was unable to break through his sword technique, but rather that he was waiting for Jiang Chuan's power to be exhausted, waiting for him to reach his limit.

"Oh? Is that so?" Jiang Chuan's eyes became more determined, and his aura began to change. Although his swordplay was fierce, it began to become more refined, with each strike containing exquisite sword intent.

He began to circulate the true energy within his body. With each swing of his sword, it was as if a powerful current of energy was formed within him, dissolving the Earth Venerable's mud attacks into nothingness. Although his swordplay was no longer fierce, it was even more unpredictable, putting pressure on the Earth Venerable with each strike.

"Hmm, it's starting to smell good." Tu Zun's expression turned serious. Sensing Jiang Chuan's change, Jiang Chuan began to take it seriously.

Their attacks clashed once again.

But this time.

Jiang Chuan's swordplay, however, flowed continuously like water.

The earthen statue's mud attack seemed to encounter invisible resistance and began to gradually weaken.

In that instant, Jiang Chuan broke through the Earth God's earthen defense and thrust towards his face.

A loud whistling sound of a flute rang out across the arena, and then everyone saw a black flute appear in front of Tu Zun, blocking Jiang Chuan's fierce attack.

"The Soul-Hooking Flute! I never thought we'd actually see Elder Tu Zun using the Soul-Hooking Flute." Discussions rose and fell across the field.

The Soul-Hooking Flute is the Earth Lord's signature magical artifact, its power evident to all. Jiang Chuan's longsword was deflected from its original trajectory by the flute's energy, and the Earth Lord seized the opportunity to leap backward, escaping Jiang Chuan's attack range. Undeterred, Jiang Chuan adjusted his breathing, preparing for the Earth Lord's counterattack. With the Soul-Hooking Flute activated, the Earth Lord was bound to unleash an even more devastating attack.

As expected, the earthen statue's flute began to play.

This attack was even more intense.

The flute's sound was like a wolf's howl, carrying a chilling aura.

It swept towards Jiangchuan.

Jiang Chuan felt immense pressure, but he did not back down. He brandished his longsword, its light flashing like a dragon, to contend with the sound of the flute.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the field became tense, and everyone held their breath, wondering what thrilling scene would unfold next.

"We'll make a comeback." The Earth God placed the Soul-Hooking Flute to his lips and said calmly.

The skill was activated, and cracks of varying sizes appeared on the ground. Then, one after another, hideous corpses made of mud appeared in every corner of the arena, in astonishing numbers.

"You still couldn't resist activating your skill," Jiang Chuan said.

The Earth God did not answer, but smiled slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Under the command of his soul-snatching flute, the earth corpses began to attack Jiang Chuan.

Each of the earthen corpses possessed strength comparable to that of a grown man.

And their numbers are so numerous.

It's suffocating.

Facing the surging tide of corpses, Jiang Chuan's eyes flashed with determination. He took a deep breath, and his aura began to surge, a powerful force gathering within him.

Suddenly, he swung his hand forward, and a powerful energy wave burst forth from his palm, sending the nearest earthen corpses flying and crashing to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The corpse lying on the ground felt no pain. It stood up and ran towards the direction where Jiang Chuan had stopped, baring its teeth.

Jiang Chuan frowned, realizing that a large portion of these corpses were people he had killed.

These people harbored resentment towards Jiang Chuan in their previous lives. Now that they have been resurrected and see Jiang Chuan, they are all filled with excitement. Although they do not communicate, their eyes convey a certain consensus.

Jiang Chuan stood amidst the earthen corpses, holding the Dragon Roar Sword. His entire body was enveloped in lightning, forming a lightning armor. His gaze was piercing, coldly fixed on the Earth God, as if he were looking at a dead man.

The Earth God sensed Jiang Chuan's determination. He sneered and played the Soul-Hooking Flute again, causing more and more earth corpses to emerge, seemingly without end.

Jiang Chuan frowned. This couldn't go on. He had to find the Earth Lord's weakness to end the battle. He brandished his Dragon Roar Sword, weaving through the earth corpses, his gaze sweeping over the Earth Lord, trying to find that one flaw.

Suddenly, he noticed that the Soul-Hooking Flute in Tu Zun's hand seemed to be the source of his power. If he could destroy the flute, he might be able to greatly reduce Tu Zun's power.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan decided to change his strategy.

He no longer confronted the earthen corpses head-on.

Instead, he began to wander among the corpses.

Seeking an opportunity to defeat the Earth God.

His Dragon Roar Sword drew graceful arcs in the air.

Each swing took the lives of several corpses.

Jiang Chuan's strategy quickly proved effective, and Tu Zun began to feel the pressure.

His flute music could continuously summon earth corpses.

But it also takes up his energy.

He saw Jiang Chuan's Dragon Roar Sword weaving around him.

The earth god began to become restless and agitated.

Finally, during Jiang Chuan's Nth sprint, he found an opportunity. Due to Tu Zun's distraction, the melody of the Soul-Hooking Flute became briefly disordered. This was the moment Jiang Chuan had been waiting for. He thrust his Dragon Roar Sword straight at the Soul-Hooking Flute in Tu Zun's hand.

The Earth God was startled and tried to recall the flute, but it was too late. Jiang Chuan's sword pierced the Soul-Hooking Flute accurately, and the flute shattered into pieces instantly. The Earth God's power weakened as a result.

"Good...good...good..." Tu Zun felt his scalp tingle at Jiang Chuan's performance.

He said "good" three times, not because he approved of Jiang Chuan, but because even Tu Zun himself did not expect that Jiang Chuan could find his weakness in such a short time and strike it with one blow. This move not only attacked Tu Zun's weapon, but also directly weakened his power.

Jiang Chuan did not feel complacent about breaking the earthen vessel's flute.

They knew that the Earth God had not been completely defeated.

Although the power of the Earth God has weakened.

But his experience and skills are still very rich.

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath, preparing to face the Earth Lord's counterattack.

"Do you think my Soul-Hooking Flute is so easy to destroy?" After saying this, the Earth God formed a hand seal, then touched his forehead. The shattered Soul-Hooking Flute was restored to its original state with the help of the soil. Under the horrified gazes of everyone, it slowly took shape.

Everyone was stunned into silence by the Earth God's miraculous operation. They all knew that the Soul-Hooking Flute was an extremely precious magical artifact, but they never expected that it could be destroyed so easily and then miraculously restored.

Tu Zun raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. He noticed Huo Zun picking up the microphone with a firm tone and beginning to introduce himself: "I've told you before, my brother Tu Zun controls the power of earth. His Soul-Hooking Flute is also made of earth. Unless the power of earth is completely destroyed, no attack can truly destroy his Soul-Hooking Flute."

After hearing this, everyone...

I couldn't help but feel awe in my heart.

They all know.

Earth Venerable is the strongest in overall strength among these Venerables.

He wields the power of the earth, making him virtually invincible.

His Soul-Hooking Flute is an extremely powerful magical artifact.

Not only can it bewitch souls and steal spirits, but it can also control life and death, making people tremble with fear.

Just as everyone was filled with awe, the Earth God suddenly waved the Soul-Hooking Flute in his hand, and a powerful force of earth surged towards Jiang Chuan.

"Ants."

"You still want to challenge me, the Earth Sovereign?"

“I tell you, before the power of my earth.”

"You don't even have the slightest ability to resist." Tu Zun's lips curled into a slight smile.

Jiang Chuan's expression was solemn, knowing that the power of the Earth Venerable was not to be underestimated. He stared intently at the Earth Venerable, a resolute glint in his eyes, and said, "Earth Venerable, your earth power may be wondrous, but I, Jiang Chuan, will not surrender so easily!"
