Lan Cao didn't say anything. A shocking aura erupted out of his body as he instantly appeared above Yun Lintian and punched at the latter's abdomen, aiming to shatter his Origin Core.
The expressions of Linlin, Qingqing, and Nantian Fengyu changed drastically. They released their power to the fullest and finally pushed the golden cage away.
However, they couldn't make it in time to help Yun Lintian no matter how fast they were. All they could do was watch Lan Cao's claw-like fist approach Yun Lintian's abdomen.
At that crucial moment, the Gate of Beyond Heaven appeared behind Yun Lintian, and a dazzling green light abruptly shot out, forcing Lan Cao to retreat rapidly.
At the same time, Lauya slowly walked out of the gate and calmly looked at Lan Cao. The moment she appeared, the dark world around her was immediately illuminated with green light. No matter how the dark aura wanted to resist, it could only forcibly retreat.
The appearance of Lauya caused the expressions of Xing Chen and Lan Cao to turn solemn… Could she be the existence that destroyed Mo Ke's residual soul?
"The Tree of Life's Primordial Spirit? What a surprise." Mo Ke's voice resounded in the dark space.
A moment later, he seemed to see through Lauya's true identity. "No, that's not right… You are a newly born spirit."
"Tree of Life's Spirit?" Xing Chen's brows knitted together.
Since he merged with the devil blood, his affinity with the dark element had reached an unprecedented height. He naturally felt a fatal threat coming from Lauya's aura. It was like a fire and water facing each other.
"You don't have to worry. Her strength is not high." Mo Ke's voice echoed. "Heh. She's just a newborn calf. As long as you continue to attack, she won't be able to withstand it… Moreover, since she's a spirit, you can use the cage in your hand to deal with her."
Hearing this, Xing Chen immediately moved. The golden cage in his hand glowed brightly and expanded out, aiming to lock Lauya up.
At the same time, a dark blue energy ball appeared in Lan Cao's hand. He exerted more power into it before throwing it at Lauya.
Facing the two dangerous attacks, Lauya's expression was completely tranquil as she raised her hand gently, and several thick green vines immediately formed a shield in front of her.
BOOM!
A dull noise rang out as the dark blue energy ball exploded upon touching the vine's shield.
At the same time, Lauya glanced at the incoming golden cage and casually waved her hand, sending a green profound light toward it. With a bang, the golden cage was sent flying, and the original crack on it had become wider, on the verge of breaking.
Seeing this scene, Xing Chen and Lan Cao's hearts sank. Obviously, Lauya wasn't weak as Mo Ke said.
"Keep going. She can't repeat the same tricks forever." Mo Ke's voice resounded.
However, Lan Cao and Xing Chen didn't do as he said. They seemed to have a tacit understanding between them and prepared to run.
After repelling the attacks, Lauya waved her hand again, and a few vines quickly wrapped around Yun Lintian, who was lying in a pool of blood, before injecting pure wood energy into his body.
The wounds on his body soon recovered at a ridiculous speed that even the word miracle might sound weak in comparison.
Crackle!
The next moment, his broken bones and the injured internal organ were slowly corrected and healed one after another.
Seeing this scene, Xing Chen and Lan Cao knew that they were out of play here. Once Yun Lintian fully recovered, it would be their turn.
Without thinking further, their figures suddenly blurred and blended into the surrounding darkness.
"Where to go!?" Nantian Fengyu and Qingqing shouted furiously as they released their power to the maximum, creating a gigantic domain of firestorm.
In the darkness, Lan Cao frowned deeply as he looked at the surrounding firestorm worriedly. Although his strength in the devil's form had already reached the pinnacle of the world, he couldn't stay in this state for long. Right now, he only had a few seconds left in him.
The scorching heat which accompanied these flames was even more terrifying, making him feel like he had entered purgatory before the flames had even drawn close.
Gritting his teeth, his aura erupted once again and sent several dark blue beams toward the firestorm that had already formed into a terrifying firewall around him.
BOOM!
A massive hole appeared in the wall of flame, and Lan Cao used this chance to pull Xing Chen away, escaping from the place.
However, just as they thought they could leave, a green beam that carried a spiritual pressure shot down from above, causing their hearts to convulse in fear.
Seeing this scene, Xing Chen knew that he had no choice anymore. He didn't hesitate to throw the almost broken golden cage in his hand toward the incoming green beam, attempting to buy time.
Clang! Boom!
The Divine Soul Cage gave a fierce shudder before being instantly bent into an exaggerated shape. In the next second, the golden cage was shattered into pieces, releasing a powerful explosion.
The impact immediately swept Nantian Fengyu and Xing Cheng's group away.
"Roar!"
Before Lan Cao and Xing Chen could recover, they suddenly heard a deafening tiger's cry coming, followed by several thunder strikes that seemingly could reduce everything into ashes.
Seeing this, Lan Cao, whose appearance gradually returned to his human form, poured every ounce of his profound energy into conjuring a profound defense. Immediately, the space around him and Xing Chen was flooded by an indescribably enormous energy field like a mountain fortress.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The rumbling howls of exploding thunder resounded through the air as the thunder strikes descended upon the profound defense of Lan Cao. Every single explosion threatened to rip apart the space.
Lan Cao's power crazily surged as his profound strength had been pushed to its limit. Ten breaths had passed after the first strike, and the power that exploded forth at every interval was enough to cause mountains to crumble.
Under the bombard of the thunder explosions, Lan Cao had finally reached his limit. He turned to Xing Chen and said. "We can't escape anymore. Do it now!"
Xing Chen naturally knew this. His dark and gloomy eyes flashed with a terrifying black light as his entire body quickly enlarged…
