In the darkness of night, amidst the mountains, five powerful Magi Lords joined forces to encircle and suppress the Demon Tathagata, yet when it transformed into the Dark Buddha form, they completely collapsed!

The Dark Buddha transformed from the Demon Tathagata seemed to possess infinite strength and defense, its speed unbelievably fast, directly ignoring the mysterious corrosive energy that had just held it back, breaking free in the blink of an eye!

The fine lines deeply rooted all around its void were burst apart without a care by the Dark Buddha, like an invincible tank charging out of a fragile enemy’s encirclement!

One of the Magi Lords, who had narrowed its body to the limit attempting to sneak inside the Demon Tathagata to cause chaos, was particularly unfortunate, closest when the transformation was triggered, it was caught off guard by the energy burst, losing control in mid-air, as the Dark Buddha came close!

For an instant, this Magi Lord, its body shrunk to the limit, attempted a swift escape utilizing its nimble form, daring not to attack the Dark Buddha.

However, the Dark Buddha transformed by the Demon Tathagata was eerily strange. As it extended a hand, a flawless black Buddha mirage appeared before the Magi Lord, causing it to crash into it, falling into the extended hand of the black Buddha mirage!

In such a perilous situation, this Magi Lord naturally felt horrified, wanting to resist, its tiny insect-like body suddenly expanded, realizing escape was impossible, preparing for a direct clash with the Dark Buddha.

Boom, boom!

Aah!

A series of teeth-numbing dull sounds quickly followed, as Wang Zhifan watched the Magi Lord, caught by the black Buddha mirage, completely unable to resist the immense force bearing down, its newly enlarged body being compressed smaller again, revealing its extreme agony with a scream!

The surrounding Magi Lords took the opportunity to besiege the now liberated Dark Buddha, attempting to aid their companion in distress, but every attack was in vain.

Whether the Dark Buddha’s true form or mirage, it remained as stable as a mountain, enduring all damage, even a Magi Lord wielding a bleeding spear was drawn close as the Dark Buddha grabbed its weapon and yanked it nearer.

"Isn’t that guy able to teleport? Why doesn’t he use it to escape?"

From the periphery, witnessing all the changes, Wang Zhifan felt puzzled, initially predicting the Magi Lord caught by the Dark Buddha would teleport away, but it foolishly continued struggling against the terrifying Dark Buddha akin to a Demon King, futilely losing the clash.

These thoughts emerged in an instant, Wang Zhifan remained puzzled, yet his hands kept moving.

He chose to attack the Magi Lord closest to him, the colossal serpent Magi Lord whose enormous head was poised to fiercely bite the much smaller Dark Buddha.

With a flicker, Wang Zhifan utilized his full lightweight skill, speeding close to the serpent Magi Lord’s seven-inch spot, then swung his epic blade, Time’s Edge, slashing without much resistance through the metallic-looking body, causing the serpent Magi Lord’s head to twist upwards in pain.

Generally speaking, colossal Magi Lords possess great defense, unafraid of conventional attacks, but the misjudgment with Wang Zhifan wielding Time’s Edge spelled disaster.

Time’s Edge possesses an immunity-piercing characteristic, with a minimum of 60% damage, boosted by Wang Zhifan’s formidable martial prowess, and the steady critical strike enhanced by the warrior’s gauntlets, accumulating to comparable high real damage, severely shattering the Magi Lord’s defenses.

Wang Zhifan’s assistance undoubtedly alleviated the pressure on the Dark Buddha transformed by Demon Tathagata.

Seeing the dark Buddha mirage enveloping the unfortunate Magi Lord, crushing it flat.

The true form of the Dark Buddha was even more domineering, firmly grasping the bleeding spear with one hand and holding the humanoid Magi Lord by the shoulder, then using unimaginable strength, brutally thrusting the bleeding spear backward into the humanoid Magi Lord’s chest, regardless of its struggles or attacks with sharp teeth and claws, futilely watching itself face impending death.

The two remaining Magi Lords on the field were instantly terrified by the overwhelming situation, they no longer released fine threads, nor used pupil techniques, turning to flee.

Moreover, Wang Zhifan noticed a detail, the brief pause of the two before escaping, seemingly disrupted by some external interference.

"Wanted to escape? Too late!"

Though unclear why these two Magi Lords weren’t using teleportation, Wang Zhifan wouldn’t let them off easily, immediately abandoning the serpent Magi Lord he had struck twice, chasing the slower fleeing one.

It was the peculiar Magi Lord that previously opened its mouth releasing countless fine threads, resembling no normal creature, just a large mouth and six legs forming its body, yet its legs couldn’t match the speed of the flying blood-eye demon lord in the sky, caught by Wang Zhifan within seconds.

In a moment of urgency, this peculiar Magi Lord opened its large mouth again, numerous threads bursting forth towards Wang Zhifan behind, but none directly attacked him, instead probing into the void surrounding him.

Wang Zhifan immediately realized the effect of these threads—apparently fixing the space around him, making him suddenly unable to advance, despite vigorously using his lightweight skill, only treading in place as the enemy widened the gap.
