Chapter 334: Fierce Battle

Chapter 334: Fierce Battle

The valley had become a chaotic disaster, with enormous cracks resembling monstrous jaws spreading throughout. Some cracks even climbed the slopes, and massive rocks tumbled down from the surrounding cliffs, causing the entire valley to shake as if an earthquake had struck.

In the heart of the valley, figures of people intertwined, surrounded by a vast amount of swirling Dou Qi that filled the sky. Over a dozen powerful auras permeated the air, creating a spectacle as if the very heavens were being stirred.

The most awe-inspiring sight was the three figures at the top, engaged in a fierce battle. Thunder boomed and the clash of their Dou Qi stirred the clouds above, painting a scene of unparalleled intensity.

Under the onslaught of such unprecedented battles, the space in the vicinity became incredibly unstable. Cracks resembling giant pythons emerged one after another, causing Tian Qing Zi's heart to skip a beat.

In another area of the battlefield, an equally intense confrontation unfolded. Two figures intertwined, relentlessly exchanging punches, with the dull thud of physical collisions resounding ceaselessly. This was the battleground between Xiao Ming and a one-star Dou Venerate with white hair and tattered garments.

With potent Dou Qi surging in his right hand, Xiao Ming clashed fiercely with the white-haired old man, feeling a tingling numbness reverberate through his arm.

'This old man is truly a magical beast; his physical strength is so strong!' Xiao Ming exclaimed inwardly, suppressing the surge of blood and Qi in his body as he engaged the opponent once again, utilizing the rebounding force to create some distance.

When Venerable Tian Huo had drawn the Snake Lord away, Xiao Ming seized the opportunity to charge directly at the remaining one-star Dou Venerate, leading him to the other side of the valley. Here, Xiao Ming and the Dou Venerate engaged in a fierce and brutal battle.

During their fight, Xiao Ming and his opponent fought with unrelenting ferocity in close combat. Normally, a fight between a Dou Venerate and an eighth-rank magical beast and a Dou Ancestor would not last long, as the former would be ripped to shreds. After all, a Dou Ancestor's physical body was no match for that of a Dou Venerate, let alone the superior physicality of a magical beast.

Despite this, Xiao Ming held his ground, exchanging blows with his opponent. His strikes ripped through the enemy's clothes, leaving the Dou Venerate bruised. If the adversary had been conscious, he would be scared out of his wits.

Of course, Xiao Ming himself was not in a good state either.

His once pristine white robe was now covered in dust, and his sleeves had been torn apart by the clash of their energies, revealing his powerful arms.

However, Xiao Ming paid no mind to his appearance. He knew that he was in the midst of a battle and couldn't afford to be distracted by such trivial matters.

Instead, his primary concern lay with the well-being of Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin. While he had confidence in both of them, they were vastly outnumbered by their enemies, and there was also Tian Qing Zi, who was watching from the sidelines.

Xiao Yi Xian had the most enemies surrounding her, with figures flashing and afterimages trailing behind them, making it hard to keep track of their figures.

Meanwhile, Qing Lin's range of movement was limited due to her lack of spatial abilities. She did, however, have the protection of Yao Yun and the Purple Soul Flame Serpent, who defended her and repelled any approaching enemies.

As for the Ancient Heaven Snake, Qing Lin had yet to unleash its power in battle. The serpent was too fierce, and until fully tamed, it was only suitable as a last resort, for life-or-death situations.

Nonetheless, even without relying on the Ancient Heaven Snake, Qing Lin could still harness the power of her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

Having completed the required hand seals, her eyes suddenly ignited with a brilliant green light. Within her pupils, a flower-shaped pattern composed of three green petals emerged, exuding a strange and captivating force.

The dazzling green light enveloped the valley, and the power of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, which allowed her to forcefully control the bodies of others, significantly slowed the Dou Ancestors' movements.

Even with her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, Qing Lin would struggle to exert such control over a group of powerful Dou Ancestor experts under normal circumstances.

However, because these Dou Ancestors had lost their sanity, their resistance had been weakened, allowing Qing Lin to exert influence over these individuals that far surpassed her by an entire realm.

Based on the current situation, it would only be a matter of time before Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian could handle all the Dou Ancestors.

Briefly glancing at Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, who seemed to be at ease, Xiao Ming shifted his attention back to his opponent.

Although the one-star Dou Venerate had lost his sanity, he still realized that Xiao Ming was difficult to deal with, and a shred of instinct remained, telling him to go all out.

With a blank stare, the Dou Venerate's sleeves began to writhe, and numerous energy giant snakes emerged, intertwining and condensing into an avatar that bore an exact resemblance to him.

What was even more astonishing was the avatar's aura, which was also extremely strong. While slightly inferior to the original, it had undoubtedly reached the Dou Venerate realm. The expression on its face mirrored that of the original, with blank eyes devoid of consciousness.

"An avatar?" Xiao Ming couldn't help but voice his surprise.

Cultivating energy avatars was not uncommon on the Dou Qi continent. These avatars typically possessed a significant portion of the original's strength and could represent the person in many ways, making them highly useful.

Although Xiao Ming hadn't cultivated Avatar Dou Techniques himself, he could discern that the Dou Technique employed before him was no lower than High Di Class. However, since the original body had lost its sanity, the avatar lacked a great deal of agility.

Those who could cultivate into the Dou Venerate realm were extraordinary talents, and even Xiao Ming couldn't help but comment on the avatar in front of him.

"It takes countless tempering to be able to instinctively summon an avatar even in a state of lost consciousness..."

As the avatar materialized, both the Dou Venerate and his avatar trembled, their bodies becoming slightly ethereal like wisps of smoke. In a swift motion, they disappeared.

Observing their disappearance, Xiao Ming's complexion changed. His vast soul power surged from his brow as he hastily retreated.

Just as Xiao Ming retreated, a phantom figure swiftly appeared in front of him. With a fierce and icy punch accompanied by a cutting wind, it viciously aimed for his head.

Bang!

Xiao Ming met the rapidly approaching fist head-on with his arms, but the tremendous force numbed his entire arm, causing his body to stagger backward. Simultaneously, the avatar silently appeared behind him, launching a heavy palm strike toward his head.

Chi!

The chill behind his head turned Xiao Ming's face cold. A dazzling radiance of lightning erupted from his fist. Thunder rumbled as he flicked his finger, transforming the lightning into a colossal lightning dragon that shot forth.

The lightning's speed was beyond ordinary people's comprehension. The radiant Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning struck the avatar directly, causing the attack aimed at Xiao Ming's head to falter due to the entwined electric currents. The avatar became much more ethereal in the blink of an eye.

Earlier, as Xiao Ming was pushed back, the Dou Venerate also took a few steps back as a result of the collision.

As a result, he was unable to save his avatar at this time. If the avatar was destroyed, the original body would be affected as well.

With this in mind, Xiao Ming's potent Dou Qi surged forth, and the Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning condensed into a magnificent lightning dragon, its radiance too intense to be gazed upon directly.

Boom!

A thunderous roar reverberated through the air as the clone disintegrated into a shower of electric sparks.
