"Boom..."
Accompanied by deafening thunder, countless mysterious and terrifying forces seemed to be hidden within the thick, heavy thunderclouds.
Purple dragons formed from lightning occasionally peeked out from the thunderclouds, their claws outstretched and their imposing presence inspiring awe.
This magnificent sight caused the entire world to change color.
Qin Feng, Ling Xueyan, and Qing Jie all looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky with solemn expressions.
Although they had witnessed many strange things, the scene before them still terrified them.
Although the golden skull's strength far exceeded their expectations.
However, can the golden skull defeat such an unknown and powerful enemy?
Just as Qin Feng and the other two were intently watching the thunderclouds, suddenly, a dazzling golden stream of light shot out from the thunderclouds like lightning.
The speed of this golden streak was so fast that it exceeded the reaction limits of ordinary people.
Before Qin Feng and his two companions could even react, they were slammed into the ground with tremendous force.
With a deafening roar, as if a mountain had collapsed and the earth had split open, the ground instantly caved in, forming a bottomless pit.
The dust that rose up blotted out the sky, and the surrounding trees were uprooted by the enormous impact and scattered far away.
Qin Feng and the other two's expressions changed slightly, and they almost simultaneously lowered their heads, turning their gazes to the newly formed crater.
At the bottom of the pit, the once majestic golden skeleton lay quietly, its bones now dull and lifeless, having lost their former luster.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that the bones are covered with dense, crisscrossing cracks, resembling a giant spider web.
It was clear that the golden skull had suffered extremely serious injuries in its battle against the powerful enemy in the thundercloud.
Seeing this, Qin Feng's brows furrowed tightly, forming a deep "川" (river) shape. His mood, like the heavy dark clouds, became extremely heavy and oppressive.
It should be noted that this golden skull was one of their key forces in fighting against powerful enemies, but now it has lost its fighting ability, which undoubtedly makes the already very serious situation even more tense and critical.
Qin Feng took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner unease and anxiety, then slowly raised his head, looking straight at the huge and mysterious eyes in the sky.
His voice was calm yet firm as he said indifferently, "Since you possess such formidable strength, why do you dare not reveal yourself? Are you afraid of exposing your identity? Or do you have some other ulterior motive?"
Just then, Ling Xueyan and Qing Jie, who were standing to the side, exchanged a tacit glance.
In just a moment, the two understood each other perfectly.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Xueyan flashed away, flying towards the large pit where the golden skull was, like a light butterfly.
She wanted to see if she could help this ally who had lost his fighting ability; even if there was only a sliver of hope, she would never give up easily.
Meanwhile, Qing Jie kept his head up, staring intently at the giant eyes in the sky, on high alert.
Because no one knows what kind of terrifying attack or change will erupt from those giant eyes in the next moment.
However, what is strange is that although Qin Feng has questioned them and Ling Xueyan and Qing Jie have taken corresponding actions,
But the giant eyes in the sky remained completely still, like puppets that mechanically execute commands.
This eerie silence only made people more uneasy.
Seeing this, Qin Feng's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, but his eyes grew colder, like frost and snow in the dead of winter.
"Heh, you cowardly coward! Do you really think I can't do anything to you just by hiding in the shadows and keeping quiet?"
Qin Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer.
At the same time, his gaze was fixed on the giant eyes in the sky, and the Five Elements Divine Sword in his hand was raised high, its blade gleaming with cold light, like a venomous snake lying in wait.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Feng gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, and his entire aura suddenly changed, becoming sharp and domineering.
He spoke indifferently, "I possess a sword capable of severing a half-step Heavenly Dao Realm expert. I wonder if you can withstand it?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Feng roared angrily, and the surging divine power within his body rushed towards the Five Elements Divine Sword like a flood bursting its banks.
In an instant, the Five Elements Divine Sword unleashed a dazzling array of five-colored light, illuminating the entire sky.
The light was so dazzling that it was almost blinding.
Moreover, as divine power was continuously poured in, the pressure emanating from the Five Elements Divine Sword became increasingly powerful.
The oppressive force was like a heavy mountain pressing down, making the surrounding air feel incredibly heavy.
In an instant, the weather changed dramatically, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring, as if the end of the world was about to arrive.
However, at that moment, a deep and majestic male voice slowly emanated from within the thick clouds.
"Arrogant brat, stop showing off your pathetic tricks in front of me!"
The voice seemed to come from ancient times, carrying endless vicissitudes and domineering power.
Immediately afterwards, another voice rang out: "Your strength is not bad, but to think you can hurt me? That's just wishful thinking!"
His words were filled with disdain for the attackers.
"Hmph, because my true form is not here!"
At this point, the man paused for a moment before continuing, "Youngsters, I was merely using a little trick to test your mettle!"
"I didn't expect your performance to be so satisfactory to me."
As soon as those words were spoken, the atmosphere around them became heavy.
Finally, the mysterious voice rang out again: "Listen up, juniors! Remember my name—the Demon Lord of Heavenly Ascent!"
"I await your arrival at the Demon Suppression Tower. I only hope you won't disappoint me too much!"
"Hahahaha..."
With a burst of wild laughter, the giant eyes in the sky vanished in the blink of an eye.
Watching the giant eye disappear, Qin Feng frowned slightly, retrieved the Five Elements Divine Sword into his body, and then looked at Qing Jie, asking, "Have you ever heard of the name of the Heavenly Demon Lord?"
Qing Jie frowned, his expression shifting between light and shadow. After a long while, he spoke solemnly, "I've never heard of him before, but based on my guess, this person should be from the Ancient Demon Clan!"
"Another ancient demon clan?" Qin Feng suddenly felt the pressure increase. He didn't expect that there would actually be ancient demons who had survived in this demon realm.
