Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

Xiao Muchen and Ling Shuang continue to face one daunting challenge after another in this long and crisis-filled journey.

They had stepped into a mysterious valley shrouded by the power of darkness. The strange atmosphere in the valley was like sticky ink, as if it could devour all life. Xiao Muchen tightly grasped the Star Sword in his hand, and the sword body flashed with a cold light, like the brightest star in the night sky. His eyes were bright and his expression was solemn. He used the Chaos Heavenly Spirit Technique, and his body instantly exuded a powerful fighting spirit shield. The shield flashed with mysterious runes, like an indestructible fortress, stubbornly resisting the erosion of the dark breath.

Ling Shuang stood beside him, her figure graceful yet full of strength. She waved her hands, and her icy fighting spirit floated out like frost and snow, adding another layer of cold protection to Xiao Muchen's fighting spirit shield. Her eyes were focused and firm, always paying attention to the changes in the surrounding atmosphere, ready to deal with any possible emergencies.

In an ancient ruin, they encountered a complex and dangerous array of mechanisms. Those mechanisms were hidden in dark corners, and if they were not careful, they would trigger a fatal attack. Xiao Muchen's eyes were sharp, and the light of wisdom flashed in his deep eyes. With his deep understanding and perception of the Chaos Heavenly Spirit Art, he carefully sensed the flow of the surrounding fighting spirit, trying to understand the operating rules of the mechanism.

His figure was as swift as the wind, moving nimbly through the narrow passage. Sometimes, he would suddenly stop and accurately avoid the sharp arrows shot from the wall; sometimes, he would jump high to avoid the traps that suddenly appeared under his feet. When he encountered a trap that he could not avoid, he would use the Wuji Sword Art - Chaos Beginning. In an instant, the sword energy around his body was crisscrossed, and the powerful sword energy was like a surging wave, instantly crushing those traps into powder.

Another time, they encountered a huge monster that controlled the power of violent lightning in a wasteland. The monster was as big as a mountain, surrounded by lightning, and every roar was accompanied by earth-shaking thunder. Xiao Muchen faced this powerful enemy without any fear. He took a deep breath, slowly raised his hands, and then pushed them forward suddenly. The powerful force of the Chaos Destruction Palm was like an invisible wave, surging towards the monster.

The monster was not willing to be outdone, and a thick bolt of lightning spurted out of its mouth, colliding with the power of the Chaos Destruction Palm in the air. For a moment, the light was radiant, and the space seemed to be distorted by the impact of this huge energy. In the fierce confrontation, the four kinds of strange fire on Xiao Muchen's body - Netherworld Poison Fire, Wind and Thunder Fury Flame, Purple Lotus Fire, and Yin and Yang Heart Flame, began to slowly merge.

These four powerful flames intertwined and gradually merged into a new and more powerful flame - the Phantom God Dark Flame. This flame showed a strange color of purple-blue with emerald green. As the flame jumped, it seemed that countless mysterious runes flashed in it. The Phantom God Dark Flame, with its extremely terrifying high temperature and destructive power, instantly enveloped the monster. The monster struggled painfully in this powerful flame and finally fell at Xiao Muchen's feet.

After going through untold hardships, they finally gathered all the rare materials needed to repair the seal. However, before the joy could fully spread in their hearts, as they hurriedly set out on the road back to the sealed place, an ominous premonition loomed heavily like a haze.

As expected, in the vast and desolate wilderness, they were intercepted by a group of mysterious forces from the universe. These people were wearing strange and gorgeous armor, inlaid with gems shining with various colors, and each gem contained powerful power. They exuded a terrifying and powerful aura, which was like a surging tide, impacting Xiao Muchen and Ling Shuang's hearts wave after wave.

"Hmph, hand over the materials in your hands, or today will be your day of death!" The leader was a tall, stern-looking warrior. His eyes were like a thousand-year-old ice, emitting endless chill, and he shouted coldly.

Xiao Muchen's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile, and the Star Sword in his hand made a clanging sound, as if responding to his inner unyielding spirit. "If you want materials, then it depends on whether you have the ability!" In an instant, the Phantom God Dark Flame burned fiercely on his body, and the purple-blue flame with emerald green shot up into the sky, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Ling Shuang's eyes were as cold as ice, and she shouted: "If you dare to come and snatch it, you must get past me first!" She raised her hands, and the ice-type fighting spirit instantly condensed into a huge ice sword, the sword body flashing with cold light.

"You don't know how to live or die!" The leader of the mysterious force shouted angrily, and with a wave of his hand, the people behind him attacked Xiao Muchen and Ling Shuang like a tide.

In an instant, the lights of various powerful fighting skills shone brightly, and the entire wilderness was instantly illuminated as bright as day. A fierce battle broke out.

Xiao Muchen's sword was extremely powerful. With the blessing of the Phantom God Dark Flame, every swing of the Star Sword brought up a brilliant flame. Wherever the flames reached, the enemy's fighting spirit defense was instantly melted by the high temperature, like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun. Xiao Muchen's figure was as fast as the wind, moving freely among the enemy groups, and every sword strike was deadly.

Ling Shuang waved her hands, and her ice fighting skills were like snowflakes flying everywhere, and the cold air was everywhere. Wherever she went, the air instantly condensed into ice, and the enemy's movements became extremely slow. She waved the ice sword in her hand, bringing up a series of cold sword energy, ruthlessly harvesting the enemy's life.

However, these mysterious forces from the universe are extremely powerful and work in perfect harmony. Some of them are good at long-range attacks, constantly releasing powerful spells, trying to suppress Xiao Muchen and Ling Shuang; others are good at close combat, holding sharp weapons, looking for Xiao Muchen and Ling Shuang's flaws.

Xiao Muchen's body gradually gained more and more wounds, and his clothes were stained with blood, but his eyes were still firm and his will to fight was not reduced at all. Ling Shuang also looked a little tired, with beads of sweat on her forehead, but she continued to swing the ice sword in her hand, releasing a powerful force.

Just when the battle was at a stalemate, Xiao Muchen, with his keen combat intuition, suddenly discovered a slight flaw in the enemy's formation. His eyes lit up, and he shouted to Ling Shuang, "Ling Shuang, follow me!" Xiao Muchen instantly raised his fighting spirit to the extreme, and the Phantom God Dark Flame burned even more vigorously. He was like a burning meteor, rushing towards the flaw with an indomitable momentum.

Ling Shuang understood what he meant and followed closely. She poured all her ice energy into the ice sword in her hand, which shone brightly, and together with Xiao Muchen, she rushed towards the gap in the enemy's formation.

The two of them moved forward hand in hand, and wherever they passed, the enemies gave way. But the enemies also reacted quickly, trying to fill the gaps in their formation and prevent them from breaking through.

Xiao Muchen and Ling Shuang gritted their teeth and charged forward with all their might. Their figures were like a bright light in the midst of the enemy's encirclement, illuminating this wilderness filled with blood and slaughter...
