"Boom!"
Following the ancient demon's fierce roar, a terrifying chill erupted from its body. The visibly surging cold currents slammed into the surrounding Dou Qi shield, causing it to become shaky.
At this moment, the ancient demon's body was covered in a thick layer of profound ice. A light shimmered above the profound ice, and the sight of it seemed as if one's soul had been frozen solid.
The ancient demon stepped into the void, and a crystalline spear flashed from its hand. The spear seemed to be forged from profound ice, radiating a cold light and exuding a chilling, sharp force. It was clearly crafted from a strange material.
"This is Six-phase Ice, capable of sealing the heavens and the earth. After I refined it, you're the first outsider to allow me to wield it. With your power, you're not even qualified for such a feat!" "
Ten Thousand Beast Spear Technique!"
The ancient demon's icy face was filled with pride, a cold glint in his eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he stamped his foot on the air, and as if teleporting, he appeared above Chen Guan's head. The icy spear in his hand suddenly danced. Faintly, the roars of countless beasts echoed through the shadows. A fierce, murderous intent transformed into a gust of wind, piercing Chen Guan's vital points.
Having suffered two setbacks, the ancient demon, despite his harsh words, had long since lost his contempt.
Sensing the fierce beastly roars, Chen Guan's gaze shone with a chill. The immense fighting spirit within him surged forth, and he swung the Dragon-Cutting Spear rapidly, absorbing most of the gusts of wind.
With each impact of the two spears, the ground beneath Chen Guan's feet cracked, leaving marks nearly half a meter deep. Even his soles gradually left two deep footprints in the ground, demonstrating the true mystical power of the Myriad Beasts Spear Technique. However
, Chen Guan was even more concerned with the mysterious ice clinging to the opponent's body.
Six-phase Ice!
One of the rarest ices in the world!
Its rarity was even greater than the Heavenly Frost Crystal of the Sound Valley Master.
However, beyond its heaven-sealing, earth-shattering coldness and extreme hardness, Six-phase Ice also had a crucial use: it could preserve life!
In ancient times, powerful forces, upon obtaining Six-phase Ice, would forcibly seal their subordinates nearing their end within it, ensuring their continued survival.
The purpose, needless to say, was to provide a lifeline in times of crisis.
Looking at the ancient demon's haughty demeanor, Chen Guan's expression was bewildered. If the old monsters of the ancient clan knew the true power of this Six-phase Ice, they would probably beat their chests and stamp their feet in agony, crying out, "What a waste of natural resources !"
Chen Guan, with a wicked whimper in his heart, didn't expose it. Instead, he began to consider whether it was possible to borrow it from someone he didn't have to return.
"Ten Thousand Beasts Spear Technique, Beast King's Roar!"
Facing Chen Guan's impenetrable defense and the unreadable smile on his face, the ancient demon grew even more furious.
In an instant, the ancient demon's spear technique suddenly changed. Countless spear shadows coalesced in the blink of an eye. From the icy spear, a vast grudge surged like a flood, condensing into the phantom of a ferocious beast in the blink of an eye. The spear then swept out, tracing a sharp arc, and with lightning speed, it stabbed Chen Guan's throat.
Sensing the ferocious beast's phantom attack at an extremely tricky angle, Chen Guan's eyes grew colder. Vast soul power surged from his brows, instantly revealing the true killing move hidden within the beast's phantom. He then swiftly swung the Dragon-Cutting Spear in front of him, creating a strange trajectory.
"Bang!"
The strike landed squarely on empty space.
However, just as many people thought Chen Guan had made a mistake, the empty space suddenly trembled. A tiny spear shadow shot out from there, colliding fiercely with the incoming spear tip, sending a surge of energy spreading out like a wave.
"Hmph!"
Surprise flashed across the ancient demon's eyes at being detected by such a stealthy attack. With a cold snort, he slammed his palm down on the spear, sending the ice crystal spear spinning like a top. A whirring sound of breaking wind could be heard even as the afterimage emerged.
"Break it!"
The rapidly spinning spear shadow slammed heavily into the Dragon-Cutting Spear. Then, with a strange twist, the spear tip thrust forward again, unleashing a terrifying surge of force. Using a clever trick, it managed to deflect Chen Guan's spear tip.
"Die!"
Having deflected the spear tip, the ancient demon suddenly lunged forward, tapping the spear with a foot. Like an eagle, it pounced directly at Chen Guan. Its sharp claws, shrouded in a chilling chill, slashed fiercely at his chest.
However, facing the ancient demon's fierce attack, Chen Guan didn't flinch. His left hand formed a subtle seal, and a huge, enchanting, and strange fireball appeared above the ancient demon's head. Without hesitation, it slammed down.
The clash of intense heat and icy cold left even the three ancient elders unable to maintain their presence. They watched helplessly as the space shattered, a visible fracture appearing as if struck by a divine blade.
The upper half was a raging sea of fire, its terrifying heat distorting the space.
The lower half was a deep white, chilling, as if the space itself had been frozen solid.
"Your mere tricks, you dare to break my Six-Faced Ice!"
The ancient demon's momentum froze, his left hand clenched into a fist, a dazzling pale streak of light, as he fiercely met the massive fireball's fall.
Bang!
After a brief standoff, a resounding explosion echoed, and the fireball was blasted apart by the ancient demon's fist, showering the sky with sparks.
Having achieved its goal, the ancient demon continued its assault on Chen Guan with arrogance.
However, Chen Guan's expression remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated this.
Indeed, the Scarlet Star Falling might look intimidating, but it was essentially just an Earth-level fighting technique. It might be enough to deal with opponents from Zhongzhou, but in the eyes of the Ancient Clan, it was nothing.
Watching the ancient demon wield its icy energy, sweeping towards him like a wave, Chen Guan dispelled his Dragon-Cutting Spear, sheathed his long sword, and with a tap of his toes, a flash of silver light appeared in the sky.
Immediately, the Burning Art within him suddenly activated, and the energy of the entire universe roared into existence, transforming into streams of tangible energy that surged into his body.
"It's actually a Heaven-level technique!"
"Not only that, it's another Heaven-level fighting technique!"
Seeing Chen Guan's domineering absorption of Heaven and Earth's energy, many people's eyes narrowed slightly. Could
the Zhongzhou Dan Tower truly possess such a profound foundation?
But thinking of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan behind the Dragon Scale Armor, they suddenly understood.
"Did you really think you were the only one possessing a Heaven-level technique?"
"Ancient Sage's Treasure Mirror, swallowing heaven and earth!"
Seeing Chen Guan absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, seemingly preparing a lethal attack, the ancient demon sneered. With a shift in his hand seals, a dark cloud suddenly appeared above the sky, enveloping the entire world. The cloud swirled, unleashing a powerful suction force, forcibly drawing in the energy from heaven and earth. Finally, it condensed into a beam of light, pouring into the ancient demon's body. With this infusion of energy, the demon's depleted Dou Qi was rapidly replenished, becoming increasingly powerful.
"They actually forced the ancient demon to unleash the Ancient Sage's Treasure Mirror..."
Outside the arena, Lin Xiu and the others' expressions changed slightly as they observed the enveloping dark cloud, a hint of disbelief in their eyes.
They had originally thought that the ancient demon's eight-star Dou Zun strength against a six-star Dou Zun from Zhongzhou would be a crushing victory. However, they hadn't anticipated that events would deviate from their expectations from the outset, spiraling out of control.

"Chen Guan, now, let me show you what true ancient clan heavenly-level fighting techniques are!"
Dark clouds filled the sky. The ancient demon, suspended high in the air, gazed across at Chen Guan, its cold shout echoing through the heavens and earth.
Despite the ancient demon's bark, Chen Guan's expression remained unmoved. Only the hand seals in his palms remained unceasing. A terrifying black hole had already taken shape, frantically absorbing the fighting spirit within him, steadily growing stronger.
"Great Heaven, Fortune Palm!"
As Chen Guan's voice fell, his frantically forming seals with his left hand suddenly thrust forward. The black hole in his palm grew in the wind, and in an instant, it exploded into a massive black handprint nearly a hundred feet across, striking down upon the ancient demon.
Wherever the black hole handprint passed, the isolation shields could no longer support themselves, crumbling layer by layer. For a moment, countless people in the square felt the terrifying tearing force, as if their very souls were being devoured.
Fortunately, a larger, transparent shield descended, signaling the intervention of a powerful ancient clan member hidden in the shadows.
"If this is what you rely on, perhaps it's time to stop!"
The power of the Great Heavenly Creation Palm goes without saying, yet it still seems insufficient for the ancient demon.
The ancient demon glanced at it, a faint hint of surprise passing through his eyes before he sneered. With a flicker of his hands, a series of afterimages emerged. As his hand seals formed, the howling winds tearing through the sky suddenly seemed to cease abruptly. Even the swirling dark clouds above ceased their movement. A torrent of annihilation slowly emanated from the ancient demon's body.
"Great! Silence! Annihilation! Technique!"
"Great Silence Finger!"
His eyes, half closed, suddenly widened. The ancient demon roared, slowly extending a finger and gently pressing it down into the air.
As the ancient demon's finger landed in the void before him, the entire sky seemed to freeze completely. A annihilation aura, as if emanating from the Netherworld, swept out from the spot where the ancient demon's finger landed, sweeping out like a hurricane!
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The frozen space between heaven and earth lasted only a moment before suddenly breaking. The thick, dark clouds above the distant horizon began to rapidly stir, as if something terrifying was about to burst forth.
The ancient demon stood proudly between heaven and earth, his gaze coldly fixed on the pitch-black handprint that ripped through space, seemingly devouring everything. He raised his right hand, facing the dense, dark clouds above, and suddenly clenched it.
"Bang!"
With the ancient demon's clenched fist, the pervasive dark clouds suddenly froze, then rapidly split apart before a chorus of horrified gazes. A massive, pitch-black finger, a hundred feet long, broke through the clouds and swiftly descended from the sky. With a single finger, he pressed down hard against the massive black handprint!
This massive, pitch-black finger exuded an aura of utterly terrifying annihilation, as if all life would be reduced to dust under its power. As the finger descended from the sky, the void of space crumbled in its path, creating a dimensional rift a thousand feet across.
"What a terrifying finger!"
Several powerful figures around the square paled. The aura emanating from it alone was terrifying, unimaginable. Had they been the target of this finger, their bodies would have exploded into a cloud of bloody mist before the giant black finger even touched them.
"Under the finger of annihilation, there is no life left. Chen Guan, end it!"
"Break it!"
Under the gazes of countless people, the massive, pitch-black finger finally swooped down, colliding heavily with the massive palm print!
"Boom!"
The terrifying impact, like a meteorite colliding, erupted in an earth-shattering roar, and the entire mountain range trembled.
On the ground, cracks, each about a foot long, spread rapidly like a spider web. The solid plaza, constructed of special stone, also collapsed rapidly.
High in the sky, as the indescribable shockwave rippled, the vast space within the shield seemed to have extinguished itself. Even light vanished, leaving the darkness agonizing and making it impossible to see what lay within.
Seconds passed, one after another, each one seeming to stretch infinitely longer.
Until, at some point, a sudden burst of intense heat emanated from the darkness, and vision gradually cleared.
However, upon catching a glimpse of the scene within, countless people gasped.
The vast shield was now a sea of fire, a massive pentagram enveloping the entire area, blotting out the sky and the sun.
Within the formation, Chen Guan's exposed skin was covered in thick scales, his face invisible. The heaving of his chest was the only sign of his extraordinary exhaustion.
On the other side, the ancient demon was in a completely different state.
Its frizzy black and white hair was nearly completely charred, its face stained with charred black.
However, these were merely superficial injuries.
It must be said that the Six-phase Ice's defense was truly absurdly strong.
What truly astonished everyone in the square was that the ancient demon's exposed orifices were now dripping with blood, its distorted features never relaxing for a moment, as if enduring unimaginable pain.
In this state, the ancient demon couldn't even continue its boastful rhetoric; any Dou Zun warrior in the arena could easily slash it into thin air.
The outcome seemed clear!
"Soul fighting!"
"Heavenly Realm Soul! This boy's mental power is truly terrifying!"
While ordinary people couldn't fully grasp the situation, the ancient clan's powerful warriors, watching from the shadows, saw through it instantly.
This, in turn, was even more shocking.
Chen Guan didn't know the thoughts of these old monsters; he only knew that this battle was a losing battle.
Just for this sick brain, he exposed so many tricks in public.
And yet, he had to take action because he represented Danta's reputation.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt wronged. The sight of the ancient demon, neither human nor ghost, became increasingly irritating. Finally, unable to contain his rage, he swung his arm and struck with a giant dagger.
BANG!
The ancient demon, his mind a mess, his face unprotected by the Six-phase Ice, took a solid blow from Chen Guan, now in his Dragon and Phoenix Ancient Armor form. He plummeted from the sky like a kite with its string cut, leaving a deep crater in the square, a testament to the force of the blow.
"Hiss..."
If the spectators had just been stunned by Chen Guan's display of strength, now they were astonished by his audacity.
This was the Ancient Realm!
The territory of the Ancient Clan!
Such an action wasn't just a slap in the face of the ancient demon, it was a slap in the face of the entire Ancient Clan!
