Perfection: The Eastern Emperor Bell manifests, I am the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 93 Taking Down the Ancient Temple of Guidance
The anticipated instantaneous collapse did not occur.

The ancient temple of reception was made of some unknown material, and it was incredibly hard. Dark runes on its surface flashed wildly, forming an extremely tough protective light barrier that withstood the terrifying siege that was powerful enough to destroy an entire star field!
The light curtain rippled violently, flickering unpredictably. The ancient palace itself emitted a rumbling sound as if it could not bear the weight, and tiny cracks appeared in its body, but it did not collapse!

"Hmph! Troublesome indeed! Let's try again!"

The Emperor of the Sun roared, and the true fire of the sun burned even more fiercely.

Sword Immortal King's sword technique changed again, transforming from a slash to a thrust, with the sword light concentrating on a single point, attempting to pierce through the light barrier.

The Rock Immortal King's fists pounded like drums, striking relentlessly.

Ao Linxian's dragon tail swept across, shattering the void.

Lu Xuan's sharp eyes captured the subtle fluctuations and patterns of the laws flowing through the protective light barrier under the continuous attacks.

He pushed the method of severing the three corpses to its extreme, allowing his good and evil thoughts to flow freely, and sometimes using the evil corpse to forcefully attack a single point with his destructive will.

Sometimes he uses the benevolent corpse to purify the Daoist rhyme that erodes the runes, and sometimes he uses the transcendent perspective of his self-corpse to perceive its core nodes.

"Fellow Daoists, concentrate your strength and attack the third rotating dark purple rune on the upper left!"

Lu Xuan suddenly transmitted his voice and shouted.

That was what he had identified as a relatively weak energy node in the protective system!

Although the giants were somewhat surprised, they trusted Lu Xuan's strength and insight, and did not hesitate to change their offensive!
Golden Crow Divine Fire, Sword Sect's Edge, Rock-Solid Strength, True Dragon Tearing the Sky, Chaotic Battle Intent...

Five devastating forces simultaneously bombarded the dark purple rune!
"Crack——!"

A crisp sound!
The rune shattered instantly!

Immediately following, like a domino effect, the entire protective light barrier abruptly stopped flowing, then became covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and finally collapsed with a mournful cry!
The defenses have been breached!

"Fight in!"

With golden light bursting from his eyes, Xi Huang took the lead, transforming into a golden streak of light as he charged directly toward the wide-open gates of the ancient palace! Sword Sect Immortal King and the others followed closely behind!

Lu Xuan was about to rush in when his heart skipped a beat, and an extremely strong sense of crisis came from behind him!

After the shattered protective light barrier dissipated, the ancient temple's true form was revealed. The engraved dark runes not only did not dim, but instead turned scarlet as if they were congested with blood!
An even more ancient and terrifying will awakened within the hall!
"Om-!"

Inside the ancient palace gates, endless darkness surged forth like a tide, instantly engulfing the Xi Emperor who was at the forefront!
That darkness was not merely matter, but contained a strange power that eroded the soul and twisted the mind!

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

The Sword Immortal King's sword light surged, attempting to cleave through the darkness to rescue him.

However, from within that darkness, a gigantic claw, formed entirely of the laws of darkness, suddenly emerged, accompanied by a chilling whisper, and lunged at the Emperor of Dawn!

The power of this claw far surpasses that of the previous dark creatures, reaching the level of a giant at its peak!
The Emperor Xi roared, his Solar Flame burning to its limit as he clashed head-on with the attack!
"boom!"

An energy storm exploded, and the Emperor Xi was forced to take several steps back. The solar fire around him dimmed a bit, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes!
At the same time, several equally terrifying figures emerged from other directions of the ancient temple. Some were twisted demonic shadows, some were rotting ancient corpses, and some were pure aggregates of dark energy... They all exuded an aura no weaker than that of a Celestial King, clearly the true guardians of this ancient temple!
"There is indeed an ambush!"

"Immortal King Pan Shi said in a deep voice, standing shoulder to shoulder with Immortal King Ao Lin, blocking the attacks of the other two dark giants.

The situation reversed instantly!

Not only did they fail to quickly breach the ancient palace, but they also found themselves caught in a pincer movement! Lu Xuan's eyes turned cold; he knew he could no longer hold back.

This ancient temple was far more dangerous than they had anticipated!

He let out a long roar, no longer suppressing himself!

"Chaotic Immortal Battle Domain, open!"

Centered on him, a hazy domain, interwoven with blood-gold battle intent and chaotic energy, suddenly unfolded, instantly covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles!

Within this domain, his aura surged, and his control over the laws was greatly enhanced, while the dark creatures were significantly suppressed and their movements became sluggish!
He unleashed both claws simultaneously, his left hand transforming into the Annihilation Sun Fist, supremely yang and powerful, striking at the dark giant claw reaching for the Emperor Xi.

With his right hand joined together, he unleashed the Three Corpses Immortal-Slaying Finger, fusing his good and evil self-will, and thrusting it straight at the core consciousness of that giant claw!

"Oh!"

The dark giant claw was struck by the intent of the Supreme Yang Fist, causing its black energy to dissipate. Then, it was struck in the core by the finger beam that was specifically designed to kill the soul, letting out a silent scream before suddenly shrinking back into the darkness deep within the ancient palace.

Lu Xuan took a step forward and arrived beside Xi Huang, the power of the Chaos Battle Immortal Domain empowering him: "Ancestor, let's join forces and kill one of them first!"

Xi Huang's spirits soared as he felt the boost from Lu Xuan's domain, and he shouted, "Good!"

The old and the young, two immortal kings of the Golden Crow lineage, displayed an astonishing tacit understanding at this moment.

Xi Huang launched the main attack, using the Sun Fire to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, thus restraining another dark demonic figure that was pouncing on.

Lu Xuan, on the other hand, moved like a ghost, traversing the battlefield with the stealth and speed of the Chaos Battle Immortal Domain.

Specializing in exploiting the enemy's weaknesses, the Three Corpses Technique circulates, sometimes weakening the opponent with the power of purification, sometimes launching a powerful attack with the will of destruction, and sometimes transcending the mundane world to find the opportunity to kill!

With Lu Xuan's assistance, Xi Huang finally seized the opportunity and unleashed a powerful Sun Emperor Fist, infused with his life's cultivation, slamming it into the head of the dark demonic figure!
"Do not--!"

The demonic shadow let out a shrill mental scream, its body disintegrating inch by inch in the supreme Yang Dao fire!

A dark giant has fallen!

At the same time, the Sword Sect Immortal King and his group stabilized their positions and engaged in fierce battles with the remaining dark giants.

With the pressure eased slightly, Lu Xuan's gaze swept across the battlefield, finally settling on the ancient palace that still emitted an eerie red light.

His goal was not merely to defeat the guards, but... to destroy the ancient palace!
"Ancestor, fellow Daoists, lend me a hand! I must forcibly refine the core of this palace!"

Lu Xuan transmitted his voice and shouted, while disregarding the consumption of energy, he shrank the Chaos Battle Immortal Domain and used all his strength to cover the Ancient Reception Hall!

He intends to use his own methods to forcibly erode and suppress this dark creation!

Upon hearing this, Xi Huang and the others felt it was risky, but seeing Lu Xuan's resolute will and the convincing strength and methods he had just displayed, they all unleashed their power, tightly entangled their respective opponents, and created opportunities for Lu Xuan!
Lu Xuan sat cross-legged above the ancient palace, his chaotic battle immortal power cascading down like a waterfall, washing over the palace.

The crimson runes on the palace body resisted violently, unleashing a powerful surge of dark will that attempted to erode Lu Xuan's soul.

Lu Xuan remained true to himself, and the three illusory figures of his corpse floated behind him, dissolving all negative impacts.

His divine sense, like the finest tentacles, penetrated deep into the ancient palace, exploring its core structure and searching for the "central hub" that controlled everything!
This is a contest of will and skill, and its danger is no less than that of the battles between giants outside!
