Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Xue Tutian sensed the attack from behind and had to dodge to the side.

Ling Yun seized this opening, and swung his divine weapon again. A golden light flashed, and Xue Tutian's arm was slashed with a deep wound.

Outside the palace, after numerous attempts, the Creator, the Heavenly Dao, and others finally succeeded in fusing a power containing the laws of light.

The immortal ancestor infused this power into the sword in his hand, and the sword instantly shone with dazzling light.

The Daoist Ancestor then used his whisk to guide this power, directing it precisely onto the wall of fire.

The forces of light collided with the dark laws of the fire wall, emitting a dazzling light and a tremendous roar.

Under the impact of the power of light, the wall of fire began to tremble violently, and the black flames on its surface gradually went out.

As everyone continued to pour their power into the wall, a crack finally appeared.

"Keep going, give it your all!"

The Creator shouted, and everyone gritted their teeth and exerted all their strength.

The cracks widened until finally, the firewall collapsed with a roar.

"Hurry, let's go support Ling Yun and Ancestor Styx!"

At the command of Heaven, everyone rushed into the palace.

Inside the palace, the battle between Ling Yun and the Styx Ancestor against Xue Tutian had entered a fierce stage.

Although Xue Tutian was injured, he still fought Ling Yun and Styx Ancestor to a standstill, thanks to his frenzied aura and powerful recovery ability.

Just as Ling Yun and the Styx Ancestor were feeling a bit strained, the palace gates were suddenly smashed open, and the Creator, the Heavenly Dao, and others rushed in.

"Perfect timing! Let's attack together and capture this villain today!" Ling Yun said loudly.

The group quickly joined the battle, surrounding Xue Tutian. Faced with so many powerful enemies, Xue Tutian showed fear for the first time.

Although Xue Tutian was surrounded by the crowd, the madness in his eyes did not diminish. On the contrary, the desperate situation aroused his last bit of ferocity.

He let out a shrill roar as he looked up at the sky, and the dark aura around him surged wildly.

The solid black smoke spread outwards from him, attempting to break through the encirclement of the crowd.

Seeing this, Ling Yun hurriedly shouted, "Everyone be careful, don't let him break through!"

As she spoke, she activated the power of spacetime and enveloped Xue Tutian.

Not to be outdone, the Styx Ancestor moved his hands rapidly, and the power of the Blood Sea transformed into several enormous blood-red pythons, their blood-red mouths wide open, lunging towards Xue Tutian.

The Creator raised his hands and summoned a power of stars, which rained down on Blood Slaughtering Heaven.

The Heavenly Dao then gathered the power of the laws of heaven and earth into a beam of light, shooting it straight down from above in an attempt to block Xue Tutian's upward escape route.

In an instant, all sorts of strange lights and powerful energies attacked Xue Tutian.

Despite sustaining numerous wounds from the combined attack, Xue Tutian continued to fight back, relying on his tenacious vitality and bizarre regenerative abilities.

He moved like a ghost through the attacks, dodging fatal blows while constantly unleashing dark energy to retaliate against the crowd.

Suddenly, Xue Tutian seized an opening in the group's attack and charged towards Ling Yun.

He knew that Ling Yun was the strongest among them, and if he could capture Ling Yun as a hostage, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

Seeing the fierce attack of Xue Tutian, Ling Yun did not back down and faced the attack head-on with his divine weapon in hand.

Just as Xue Tutian was about to approach Lingyun, a figure suddenly appeared from the side; it was none other than the Lord of Mount Tai.

He held the ancient jade pendant in his hand, which emitted a soft light that transformed into a barrier, blocking Xue Tutian's path.

Blood Slaughtering Heaven crashed into the barrier, letting out a muffled groan, and his figure paused slightly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ling Yun launched an attack. The divine artifact shone brightly, and a sword aura containing great power slashed towards Xue Tutian.

Unable to dodge in time, Xue Tutian was struck in the chest by the sword energy, flying backward several feet before crashing heavily to the ground.

However, Xue Tutian did not fall.

He struggled to his feet, muttering incantations, and the dark aura around him began to condense wildly.

A huge black vortex appeared above his head, from which dark energy continuously poured into his body.

With the infusion of dark energy, Xue Tutian's injuries healed at a visible speed, and his aura became increasingly powerful.

"Oh no, he's breaking through!" Old Ancestor Styx's expression changed drastically.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, knowing that if Xue Tutian were to successfully break through, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So, the group launched another attack in an attempt to stop Xue Tutian from breaking through.

However, at this moment, a powerful dark shield formed around Xue Tutian. When the attacks landed on the shield, they could only create sparks and could not cause any real damage to him.

Just when everyone was extremely anxious, Meng Po, who had been silently observing Xue Tutian, suddenly spoke up.

“I sensed that although his breakthrough power was strong, it was not entirely under his own control; it seemed to be aided by some external force. Moreover, this external force resonated with a mysterious power deep within this palace. Perhaps if we find the source of that mysterious power, we can interrupt his breakthrough process.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun's eyes lit up: "Everyone, listen to my command! Some of you will continue to hold off Xue Tutian, while the rest of you will follow me to find the source of that mysterious power!"

Ling Yun, along with Lord Taishan, Meng Po, and the Immortal Ancestor and Dao Ancestor, quickly ventured into the depths of the palace to search for the source of that mysterious power.

Meanwhile, the Creator, the Heavenly Dao, the Demon Ancestor, and the Styx Ancestor remained in place, continuing their fierce attacks on Xue Tutian in an attempt to slow down his breakthrough process.

The dark shield surrounding Xue Tutian grew increasingly thick.

While enduring the attacks, he frantically absorbed the dark energy from the vortex, occasionally letting out maniacal laughter.

"You're wasting your energy. Once I break through, you'll all be dead!"

Those who remained in place knew the weight of their responsibility and gave their all in every attack.

The Creator's hands moved in a series of hand seals, summoning the power of the stars that transformed into enormous meteors that crashed into Blood Slaughter Heaven's dark shield. Each impact caused a violent shockwave.

The Heavenly Dao condensed the power of the laws of heaven and earth into countless tiny threads, attempting to penetrate the shield and disrupt Xue Tutian's rhythm of absorbing energy.

The Styx Ancestor unleashed the power of the Blood Sea to its fullest extent, turning the Blood Sea into a raging beast that relentlessly assaulted the Dark Shield.

However, although Xue Tutian's dark shield swayed under the attacks of the crowd, it showed no signs of breaking.

He seemed to be getting closer and closer to a breakthrough, and the aura emanating from him was becoming increasingly terrifying.

Ling Yun and his companions' exploration deep within the palace was not without its challenges.

The palace's interior was like a giant maze, with intricate passageways and various powerful restrictions and guardian beasts appearing at intervals.

Ling Yun, wielding a divine weapon, led the way, and wherever the weapon went, the restrictions shattered.

Halfway through.

A gigantic Qilin guardian beast, engulfed in black flames, suddenly appeared and blocked their path.
