At the same time.

In the very center of the Black Mist Abyss.

The elder who was previously sitting atop the Black Fog Abyss Wall continuously manifested a series of energy spheres of different colors in his hand.

In an instant.

A vast rain of light spheres crashed down like a meteor shower, bombarding toward the enemy on the opposite side.

Each sphere held the power to shake the void.

Opposing him was a figure formed by a massive condensation of black mist.

The Master of Black Fog saw the energy spheres, resembling a meteor shower.

Skillfully, he condensed the black mist within him into solid chains, which lashed out like snakes, shattering the incoming energy spheres.

He had countered such attacks countless times.

"Boom boom boom boom—!"

The shattered energy spheres exploded into colorful energy fireworks, blossoming in the sky.

Waves of powerful energy ripples collided, painting the entire sky in brilliant hues.

After shattering these energy spheres, the black mist chains did not stop, covering the entire sky.

With the omnipresent black mist as his reinforcement, the Master of Black Fog was invincible.

"Are you courting death, old man?"

The voice of the Master of Black Fog emerged from the mist, baffled at the audacity of one weaker than him daring to provoke him!

All around, figures exuding Tier Seven auras surrounded the elder from various directions.

Qi Yue faced the taunts of the Master of Black Fog with calm composure, manifesting various spells into transparent shields.

’Bang bang bang bang!’

Blocking his chains.

"If you could kill me, you would have done it long ago! Master of Black Fog, you are merely relying on the advantage of the black mist."

’Hurry up, damn it! This old man can’t hold on for long!’

Although Qi Yue maintained a calm demeanor, he was inwardly complaining. Originally standing guard well, he received news from the Commander.

That the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix was about to reach Tier Eight, and someone was going to slay it, asking him to stall the Master of Black Fog.

Stall the Master of Black Fog, me?

Qi Yue could only shake his head, for the Tier Eight Master of Black Fog, with home advantage, was barely manageable for him.

Stall it?

Did they really think someone nearing Tier Eight was so difficult to kill?

Moreover, he hadn’t sensed any Tier Eight Professionals coming to the Black Mist Abyss either!

As the Master of Black Fog was about to manipulate the chains to continue attacking Qi Yue, everyone present turned their eyes towards the direction of the Black Flame Volcano.

Another battle was erupting there, and the Master of Black Fog instantly realized.

In the mist, a pair of blood-red eyes glared at Qi Yue, "You actually dared to attack the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix!"

Being an Abyssal Creature soon to reach Tier Eight, the Master of Black Fog naturally knew about the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix.

Some of it was even its assistance.

Though adding another Tier Eight would somewhat diminish his status in the Black Mist Abyss.

But having more Tier Eight strength, the Black Mist Abyss could breach human cities, and they would receive more rewards from the ’Abyss.’

Achieving Tier Nine would then be hopeful.

"The Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix isn’t that easy to handle; with its Black Mist Flame, even I can’t kill it using the Nirvana Technique!"

The Master of Black Fog sneered, "Its combat strength may not reach Tier Eight, but its survival ability is stronger than Tier Eight."

"I can sense it; you haven’t sent any King-level combatants."

"Old man, this time you miscalculated!"

The Master of Black Fog laughed boisterously, and upon hearing the laughter, Qi Yue’s expression shifted.

The intelligence was true.

Simultaneously, as the Master of Black Fog surged the black mist to form numerous giant hands, they rushed to attack Qi Yue.

Qi Yue snapped back, forming a seal with his fingers, "Gathering of Ten Thousand Laws, shatter!"

In an instant, a giant finger condensed and fiercely pierced the incoming hands.

But it was not long.

The giant black mist hands shattered Qi Yue’s spell, as the surrounding black mist surged.

Qi Yue instantly activated his equipment, and a golden shield enveloped him.

The clash between the black mist and the shield produced ’sizzling’ sounds.

The black mist was corroding the shield.

"How long can you hold out? Once thirty minutes pass, you won’t escape, the others, form the Fog Enshrouding Array.

"You were untouchable at your spot, but now you’ve delivered yourself."

"Who would’ve thought the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix would have such a role."

The Master of Black Fog laughed, "In that case, old man, your life is mine."

Qi Yue’s face turned grim, but in the next moment.

The Tier Seven figures about to form the array, along with the Master of Black Fog and Qi Yue, were all stunned.

Because the distant battle had ended.

It was unbelievably quick!

And the Master of Black Fog was taken aback, roaring, "The Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix is dead!!"

"Impossible!"

The expression on Qi Yue’s face turned from worry to joy, "Still laughing like that, hahaha! And you said it was hard to kill, how long did it even last?"

"What difficult kill! Even a chicken wouldn’t be so easy!"

Qi Yue was inwardly shocked to the extreme, being sure that what the Master of Black Fog said was true.

But if it were true, someone without King-level power could nearly instantly kill a Tier Seven pinnacle?

What origin?!

...

At the Black Flame Volcano.

The sound of a boundless and terrifying explosion resounded, and the surrounding magma, disturbed by the aftershock, lifted countless waves.

The lava that had just cooled slightly was once again churned by the terrifying high temperature.

In the black fog, streams of black fire burst out like mist, clashing with the flames of the Dissolving Fire Lotus.

The power of the three Anomalous Fires mixed together was not something one Anomalous Fire could withstand.

In an instant.

The head of the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix was directly attacked relentlessly by layers of flame.

And was blown with terrifying shockwaves into the volcano’s crater.

The ground at the volcano’s rim cracked with a ’boom’.

The figure that fell to the ground, its original sparrow head was already shattered by the Dissolving Fire Lotus.

Only that massive body remained, burning with three types of flames.

Meanwhile, the Black Mist Flame was entangled, restoring the shattered head.

"You..."

The Black Mist Flame shrouded the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix, continuously healing its wounds; it opened its beak to speak.

"Vast Heaven Domain!"

Yet another familiar oppressive suppression interrupted what it was about to say.

In the firmament.

Vast Heaven Daoist Venerable leapt up after revealing his true form, thrusting his spear downwards.

Like a meteor from outer space plunging straight down, transforming into a Kunpeng shape.

’Whoosh!’

The air was violently exploded, causing invisible ripples to spread in the sky.

The Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix, which had just restored its head, saw a colossal figure with extremely fierce power crashing down in its bird eyes.

’Boom!’

A giant descended from the heavens.

Its abdomen was pierced directly by the powerful long spear, the Desolate Dragon Spear immediately pierced through the abdomen of the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix with terrifying force.

Nailing the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix forcibly on the ground, the spear’s shaft shook violently, producing ’bang-bang-bang’ sounds in the air.

A Tier Seven weapon, and for a time, even the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix couldn’t break free.

"Muda muda muda..."

Letting go of the spear, Vast Heaven Daoist Venerable pressed the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix down, raining punches like a ferocious storm upon its body.

Simultaneously.

The aura on the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix was weakening frantically, as various powers were being stolen continuously by Vast Heaven Daoist Venerable.

And in the next moment.

Fear flashed in the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix’s eyes, while a flame formed of black mist appeared in Vast Heaven Daoist Venerable’s palm.

"Hey, it actually got stolen!"

With the appearance of this flame, the aura of the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix plummeted rapidly.

Vast Heaven Daoist Venerable was somewhat surprised, not expecting the crucial Anomalous Fire to be stolen by him.

"Imperial Sister!"

Vast Heaven Daoist Venerable tossed the flame to Empress, her cherry mouth slightly opened, swallowing it.

"Well done! Seems Little Immortal doesn’t need to intervene."

The aura of the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix was no longer terrifying as before.

Most of its strength came from the Black Mist Flame.

Now stolen directly by the Flying Dragon Cloud-Seeking Hand, naturally, its aura continued to fall.

Even the power it relied on weakened nearly ninety-nine percent.

The Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix only saw three chaotic-colored Divine Lights piercing through its head in the end.

But this time, without the aid of the Black Mist Flame, it simply disappeared and couldn’t achieve nirvana.

[You have slain the Level 79 Abyssal Creature ’Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix’, gaining experience +42%]

[Your level has risen to: Level 46]

[...experience +94%]

The Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix didn’t even manage to unleash a decent skill, dying to consecutive controls.

Crawling out from the volcano’s crater and dying took less than thirty minutes.

The time most consumed was at the beginning during the suppression with Colorless Realm Divine Power.

Golden light emerged where the Black Flame Sparrow Phoenix died.

A feather and a necklace.

Empress signaled Vast Heaven Daoist Venerable to collect the dropped items.

"Keep the items, let the master handle them later."

"Sister, and these." Two space backpacks dropped out of the void.

Just now, Stabbing Immortal found it wasn’t needed anymore.

Thus commanded those Void Legion to go to the city to gather equipment and items...

Empress didn’t expect things to go so smoothly this time.

Even her own ’Magic God’ status wasn’t activated.

Using it only once a day is already the limit.

Currently looking.

The capability of Jasper Pool has indeed become very strong with those various sealing techniques.

Stacked together, they actually weakened strength by a whole tier.

Combined with her own amplification, the difference becomes significant.

Also, the power forcibly solidifying time, comparable or even more mysterious than her Colorless Realm Divine Power.

Of course, Empress wasn’t envious, having already received much of the master’s favor.

With numerous powers stacked, she is the strongest among many summons of the master.

Soon, her gaze fell into the distance, with everyone now in good condition, just in time to slay that Tier Eight.

"Let’s go! Assist that Tier Eight and eliminate that Tier Eight opponent!"
