When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Two days later, as Zhu Chongjiu and his group were traveling at high speed underground, Xiao Jin suddenly spoke up: "Not good, someone is using great magic to forcibly block my elemental laws."

Upon hearing Xiao Jin's words, Zhu Chongjiu asked, "You are an elemental spirit, is there anyone who can block your communication with the elements?"

Of course there are! In fact, there are many different kinds.

For example, the formation used to capture Xiao Tu, just like I told you!

Or perhaps someone with powerful cultivation and profound understanding of the laws could use their cultivation combined with their laws to suppress me!

Furthermore, they used powerful techniques and laws to create their own spatial domain to block me.

Zhu Chongjiu knew this, just like the void in the Flaming Mountain back then, which could form its own space simply by the aura it exuded.

After hearing Xiao Jin's explanation, Zhu Chongjiu immediately asked, "Then how can we get out of this situation?"

Xiao Jin suddenly stopped clearing a path forward, slowly turned her head, and looked at Zhu Chongjiu as if he were an idiot.

He then said in a slightly sarcastic and helpless tone, "It's actually very simple, and you don't even need to have a profound understanding of me." He paused, then continued to explain, "You just need to have enough internal energy and be able to precisely control that power, and then apply it to me. Through exquisite manipulation, you can drive me to release a huge amount of energy that is enough to break through the constraints of this strange space."

how about it?

Doesn't that sound easy to do?

After saying that, Xiao Jin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile, as if waiting for Zhu Chongjiu's response.

Upon seeing Xiao Jin's expression, Zhu Chongjiu realized that his question hadn't been very clever.

Just as Zhu Chongjiu and Xiao Jin finished their conversation, a slightly mocking yet authoritative voice came from ten thousand meters underground!

"You little brat, you're really good at hiding! Why don't you come out at once and surrender?"

Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!

Upon hearing this voice, Zhu Chongjiu began to feel uneasy.

This person sensed not only their location.

Moreover, not everyone can control an elemental spirit, preventing it from moving, and simultaneously make the sound penetrate layers of soil to reach a depth of ten thousand meters, simply by relying on techniques and internal strength.

Now that they've discovered us and blocked Xiao Jin's path, there's no way to go underground. We can only go up and see who this person is.

After making his decision, Zhu Chongjiu had Xiao Jin and Xiao Tu return to their original positions.

He led Xiao Hei and walked towards the ground.

A few minutes later, Zhu Chongjiu, with Xiao Hei, arrived on the ground. Looking up, he saw three people floating in the air: an old man and two burly men.

Upon seeing Zhu Chongjiu emerge from underground, A'da stepped forward and calmly asked, "You mean Ninth Brother?"

Yes, who are you?

Who we are doesn't matter. Come with us now, our young master wants to see you.

Who is your young master? Why should I go with you?

When Zhu Chongjiu and A'da reached this point in their conversation, A'da angrily said, "If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences.

The young master's only response was that he would bring them back alive!

As soon as Ah Da finished speaking, he immediately attacked Zhu Chongjiu.

Looking at Ah Da's attack, he didn't hold back at all; every strike was a heavy blow.

This is also because A-Da and A-Er failed to find Zhu Chongjiu themselves, and only found his trail through Yue Lao. This made A-Da feel ashamed for not completing the young master's mission, and he harbored resentment.

The moment Ah Da made his move, Zhu Chongjiu was startled and thought to himself, "Where did this come from?"

His strength is clearly above the Emperor level, and he is much stronger than Xiao Feng. It is estimated that only the Divine Void King can fight him.

Despite being incredibly shocked by Ah Da's background and strength, Zhu Chongjiu showed no sign of backing down.

In the blink of an eye, a dazzling light suddenly shone, accompanied by a deafening roar, as if the entire world trembled. The power of this attack was earth-shattering; the massive shockwave generated by the collision of the two attacks swept outwards like a raging hurricane with overwhelming force.

Under the impact of this terrifying force, the land within a radius of thousands of miles suffered unprecedented devastation.

The once solid ground seemed to be slammed down by an invisible giant hand, instantly sinking more than ten meters deep!

You must understand, this is the Gold-Eating City Continent, and the solidity of its surface is far superior to that of other places.

If it were ordinary land, the depth caused by this impact would probably be far more than just a dozen meters.

Immediately after this earth-shattering blow, neither side showed any sign of stopping. Instead, they leaped into the air simultaneously like two bolts of lightning.

In an instant, a series of deafening booms resounded, the sound so loud it seemed to shake the entire world. At the same time, blinding beams of light suddenly burst forth.

The once peaceful land began to tremble violently, as if a long-dormant beast had suddenly awakened, ready to break free of its restraints and unleash a storm.

Dust billowed across the ground, boulders cracked, and countless deep fissures spread rapidly, making one worry whether the land would collapse completely at any moment.

Thousands of miles away from the battlefield, Xiao Hei watched the battle, which was more intense than anyone could have imagined, his heart filled with tension and anxiety.

He knew that with his current strength, he was no match for them, but a determined light shone in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "I must become stronger. Only then will I be qualified to fight alongside Ninth Brother and kill the enemy together!"

And so, after the fight lasted for more than two minutes, both sides finally stopped what they were doing at the same time for the first time.

They landed steadily on the ravaged land, standing facing each other.

Ah Da, with a solemn expression, spoke to Zhu Chongjiu for the first time in a serious tone: "With only the cultivation level of an Emperor, you were able to fight me to a standstill. You truly deserve to be the person the young master values."

However… this is just a warm-up. Now, I'm going to go all out, so I hope you won't disappoint me!

Since I came into this world, I have rarely used my true power, nor have I experienced many life-or-death moments.

Today, having met the three of you, I feel I need to really get to know you. Twenty years ago, I might not have been able to beat you, but...! Now, I could slaughter you like a dog.

As soon as Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, A'er, who was outside the battlefield, instantly arrived on the battlefield and said, "An ant dares to shake a tree?"

Today, my brother and I will cripple you, and then we'll ask you, young master, to take you back to the slave kiln in the immortal realm so you can enjoy yourself to the fullest, hahaha...!

It seems you people from the Upper Realm are also worthless. You have a higher cultivation level than me, yet you still try to bully the weak with numbers. But... fine! I like it.

Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's insulting words, A'er suddenly erupted with momentum and was about to rush towards Zhu Chongjiu, but was stopped by A'da. "Killing him is enough for one brother. Don't disgrace the young master."

After hearing what Ah Da said, Ah Er wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He only warned him to be careful, saying that this kid was rather wicked and not to be caught off guard, before leaving the battlefield.

After the old man forced Zhu Chongjiu out, he made no further moves, but closed his eyes as if to rest, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhu Chongjiu looked at the retreating Ah Er and asked Ah Da, "Are you still big enough? If you're not going to hit me, then leave."

Ah Da, his face grim, said in a deep voice, "I really underestimated you, an ant from the lower realm." Then he turned around and shouted, "Elder Yue, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my power and kill him later. The young master ordered him to be alive. If things get bad, save him."

After A-Da's voice fell to the ground, a "Yes" was heard in the void. A-Da no longer held back and flew into the air, shouting "Shaking the Mountain!" A thousand-foot-long fist shadow, carrying an invincible and world-destroying danger, attacked Zhu Chongjiu!
