I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Baal suddenly flapped his enormous wings, releasing a powerful annihilation energy that forced Schrödinger back.

Then, Baal flashed forward and stood directly in front of Xue Li, meeting Chen Qingxuan's attack head-on.

Having gained a respite, Xue Li immediately turned around to take over Bal's position and confronted Commander Xue Dingbang.

Xue Li was seriously injured and dared not fight Xue Dingbang head-on. He could only use Xue Ying to maneuver and delay.

At this point, the core of the battlefield became the fight between Chen Qingxuan and Baal.

Baal is a member of the Abyss royal family, with a strength level of ninety-one. He possesses advanced annihilation laws and is extremely powerful.

Despite being merely a phantom formed from a token, Chen Qingxuan displayed the demeanor of a top-tier expert when facing such a formidable foe. He continuously wielded the Celestial Master Sword, managing to hold his own against the opponent.

Purple lightning and black annihilation energy collided repeatedly in mid-air, causing bursts of spatial collapse.

However, the phantom is just a phantom after all, and each time a powerful skill is unleashed, it requires the energy stored on the token to be consumed.

As the intense battle continued, the purple light emanating from Chen Qingxuan's illusory figure began to dim.

His once clear body became increasingly transparent, as if it might dissipate into the air at any moment.

Baal noticed Chen Qingxuan's declining condition, and its expression became increasingly ferocious. It attacked with its claws while laughing triumphantly.

"Almost out of energy, huh? Hahaha, I'd like to see how many more seconds this clone of yours can last!" Baal taunted loudly.

Despite Baal's mockery, Chen Qingxuan remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.

He did not answer, but continued to wield the Celestial Master Sword, using precise swordsmanship and lightning magic to defend against Baal's attacks.

The battle continued for a while longer, and Chen Qingxuan's phantom had become so transparent that even the sword in his hand was almost invisible.

Seeing this scene from afar, Xue Li couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh, his eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge.

Finally, at the moment when Chen Qingxuan's phantom was about to completely disappear.

Baal gathered all his annihilation energy, preparing to launch a final attack to completely shatter the clone that was blocking his way.

"Die! After you dissipate, I'll tear that brat to shreds!" Baal roared.

Xue Li coldly chimed in, "This is what happens when you oppose the Abyss. Your defenses are about to crumble!"

No sooner had the two finished speaking than the situation on the battlefield changed.

The illusory image of Chen Qingxuan, which had become so transparent that it was almost invisible, did not dissipate as they had expected.

Accompanied by a purple lightning bolt that pierced the heavens and earth, Chen Qingxuan's body suddenly changed.

The transparent phantom instantly solidified, and the surrounding space was completely sealed off by a vast and mighty force.

This was not a phantom of the token, but the true form of the purple-robed Celestial Master Chen Qingxuan, who descended directly across the void!

The powerful aura instantly forced Baal back dozens of steps. Baal and Blood Dawn, who were laughing triumphantly, froze on their faces, their pupils contracting sharply.

Looking at the purple-robed Taoist priest before them, whose aura was as deep as the ocean, they felt an overwhelming sense of fear.

"No! Impossible!" Xue Li's voice changed from fright as she screamed in terror.

"Weren't you being held back at Ironblood Fortress by other powerful individuals?"

"Why? Why are you suddenly here?!"

With Chen Qingxuan's arrival, the lightning-based laws instantly took over the area.

Xue Li and Baal stood rooted to the spot, staring in terror at the purple-robed Taoist priest before them.

Their bodies trembled slightly from the immense, suffocating pressure, and they involuntarily took a half-step back.

Xue Li's eyes widened, filled with incomprehension and deep fear.

The Abyss Order devised an incredibly meticulous plan for this surprise attack on the human frontline fortress.

They've been preparing for this plan for several years!

They were well aware of Chen Qingxuan's strength as a purple-robed celestial master, so they specifically dispatched two level 90 abyss experts of equal strength to the Ironblood Fortress.

The two Abyss experts' mission was not to kill Chen Qingxuan at all, but merely to use the formation to hold him off.

As long as Chen Qingxuan is kept firmly within the Ironblood Fortress and prevented from coming to support the Bloodmoon Fortress, the Order's plan will succeed.

Generally speaking, in battles of the same level, it takes a long time to determine a winner, especially since those two Abyss experts are not directly fighting Chen Qingxuan.

With the specially set up sealing barrier, Chen Qingxuan had no chance to escape in a short time.

Xue Li couldn't understand how Chen Qingxuan had broken through their blockade so quickly and appeared here.

"This is impossible!" Xue Li shouted hoarsely, breaking the deathly silence of the battlefield.

"Those two guys clearly activated the highest level of sealing barrier! It's a formation bestowed by the Abyss!"

"How could you possibly have left the Ironblood Fortress alive and even made it here?!"

Holding the Celestial Master Sword, Chen Qingxuan coldly observed the two terrified individuals, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

Purple lightning crackled and swirled on his Taoist robe.

Chen Qingxuan slowly said, "Your Abyss Cult has certainly made a clever plan, and those two good-for-nothings you sent are indeed quite troublesome."

"In the initial battle, I was trapped in the barrier by them, and facing the combined attack of the two of them, I did experience considerable pressure."

"That transformed Abyss royal demon has a very high physical defense, and the poison array of the other Abyss bishop is also troublesome."

"However, I also have to thank them. Under the pressure of that life-or-death struggle, I was also pushed to my limit."

Upon hearing this, Xue Li and Baal felt a strong sense of foreboding.

"I killed that transformed royal demon and my strength advanced, breaking through the level 90 limit."

As soon as he finished speaking, the magical power emanating from Chen Qingxuan surged violently once again, forming a purple pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

That was clearly the aura of level ninety-one!

Xue Li and Baal's expressions changed instantly.

"As for the remaining Abyss Bishop who was leading the team, he was terrified when he saw me break through in the face of battle. I severely injured him with a sword and severed one of his arms."

"In order to survive, that guy burned his life essence and barely managed to escape at the cost of a drop in his cultivation level."

Upon hearing that one of the two Abyss experts responsible for the interception had died and the other had escaped, Xue Li and Baal's hearts sank to the bottom.

They knew that their plan to target Blood Moon Fortress had completely failed.
