Ye Feng had already witnessed the terrifying nature of the dark golden blade light, and he thought that even though his physical body was far sturdier than that of an ordinary warrior, he would still be cut down in an instant.
The situation suddenly became extremely critical; however, the anticipated blade light did not strike a third time. Zhou Jun, holding the Golden Ring Blade high, suddenly froze, hesitating to swing the long knife in his hand.
Having narrowly escaped disaster, Ye Feng immediately activated the Seven Transformations of Chaos Technique and the Innate Spirit Summoning Technique, stabilizing the two forces within him with great difficulty.
An abnormality occurred ahead once again.
"Don't think you can completely control me! I, Zhou Jun, will never become your slave! Even if you are the Ancient Demon Lord or a deity from the heavens, there is no one in this world who can turn me into a slave!"
Zhou Jun shouted to the sky, his whole body trembling. His resilient willpower allowed him to withstand the command of the Demon Spirit!
Although he also harbored intense hatred for Ye Feng and desperately wanted to kill him to avenge his beloved Zhao Xiner, he absolutely refused to allow his revenge to be carried out under someone else's control.
Ye Feng instantly understood Zhou Jun's predicament and couldn't help but feel admiration. He secretly speculated whether he would possess such strong willpower to resist the control of the Demon Spirit if he were in Zhou Jun's position.
"No wonder you are called the king of the younger generation of the Northern Jin Kingdom, Zhou Jun; you truly deserve this title!"
Ye Feng sighed lightly.
Boom!
The Lunar Palace erupted with a thunderous sound once more, as an ancient and sorrowful voice slowly drifted out from the hall!
"Very well! I didn't expect that after more than a thousand years, among humans who are like ants, there are still those with such strong spirit! Not only can they resist my will, but they have also fortuitously fused Mystical Demon Power and Heaven and Earth Origin Power!"
"The cultivation of a Ghost King!! Shura Demon King Lu Tong!" Ye Feng's heart sank as a name surged into his mind.
He quickly looked up at the stone tablet and noticed that the Divine Soul Phantom of the thirteen Immortal Sect predecessors was still chanting incantations with their eyes closed. However, the originally resounding incantation had gradually quieted down, clearly suppressed by Shura Demon King Lu Tong's voice.
"Zhou Jun, since you are unwilling to be a slave, what about becoming my deputy? With your current Dual Chaos Power, you are indeed qualified to be my deputy. Once I break free from this seal, I will let you lead thousands of troops and control the lives and deaths of countless people!"
Ancient Sound struck like a giant hammer, pounding on Ye Feng's soul and the souls of everyone present.
No one could resist the will of Ancient Demon Lord Shura Demon King, not even Zhou Jun!
His ambitions soared high, unwilling to remain in the small Northern Jin Kingdom under Prince Ning. Now, by chance, he had fused Heaven and Earth Origin Power with Mystical Demon Power, gaining dual Chaos Power and the recognition of Shura Demon King.
"You are Shura Demon King!" Zhou Jun looked up, focusing intently on the Lunar Palace, as if his gaze could penetrate the void and see the demon's figure hidden within the hall.
"Indeed, I am Shura Demon King, one of the eighteen demon kings of the Ancient Demon Continent, commanding millions of troops. Do you wish to be my deputy general?"
A spark of excitement flashed in Zhou Jun's eyes. He knelt on one knee and shouted towards the Lunar Palace: "I am willing to follow Lord Demon King!"
"Good, very good. From today onward, you shall be my vanguard general in the Divine Martial Continent. My first command to you is to kill everyone present and destroy the stone tablet seal!" After this declaration from the Lunar Palace, the chants of the Thirteen Disciples of the Immortal Sect rose again, and a golden light surged around the hall, forming a barrier that took shape like an enormous inverted Golden Bell.
Once the Golden Bell took form, no further sounds emerged from the Lunar Palace.
"Brother Zhou, do not listen to his nonsense! The Ancient Demon Lord excels at manipulating hearts. Once you break the seal, Shura Demon King will surely not spare you!" Ye Feng said sternly, trying to persuade him.
At this moment, Yun Letian finally regained consciousness. He had clearly heard their previous conversation, confirming that the seal contained the Ancient Demon Lord. Naturally, he stood with Ye Feng.
"Brother Ye is right. A demon is a demon, and a human is a human. Brother Zhou, you are still human at heart; right now, Shura Demon King is merely using you and will never truly make you his so-called deputy general!"
A dark golden aura surged forth as Zhou Jun's clothes billowed, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Foolish! Do you think I am still human? Yun Letian, I've long found you displeasing. This time is perfect; I will eliminate both you and that brat Ye Feng. Once I rescue Shura Demon King, I will be a supreme figure above all others!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two fierce slashes erupted from the long knife in Zhou Jun's hand.
The dark golden blade light surged forward like a rainbow, targeting both Ye Feng and Yun Letian. Both felt a sinking feeling in their hearts; they understood that Zhou Jun had fallen into madness. While he appeared to retain his sanity on the surface, his subconscious was already completely controlled by Shura Demon King Lu Tong, making it impossible to persuade him further.
"Tide Sound Sword Technique! Fivefold Tide Slash!"
"Layered Cloud Sword Technique! Raging Winds and Scattered Clouds!"
The two of them unleashed their strongest Martial Technique, not daring to let their guard down for a moment. As they retreated, their Vital Energy surged to its peak, and their long swords suddenly slashed down.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A tremendous roar echoed, with stone debris flying everywhere. The Ground made of Han White Jade between the three was impacted, and the solid Han White Jade Ground cracked inch by inch, ultimately exploding and being ground into powder by the unmatched residual force.
The dust cloud obscured visibility, and no one could see what was happening within it until a moment later when a purple figure darted out from the dust, moving at incredible speed!
The purple figure was Ye Feng. After shattering Zhou Jun's blade light, he knew that the opponent would definitely choose him as the primary target for attack. He simply took advantage of the momentum to retreat, attempting to create distance between them.
The previous collisions had already given Ye Feng some understanding of Zhou Jun's Dark Golden Mysterious Power. This mysterious force, which fused Golden Elemental Force and Mystical Demon Power, surprisingly had the ability to break through Vital Energy. If it weren't for Ye Feng's Vital Energy being much thicker than that of an ordinary person, he wouldn't have lasted this long.
As for Yun Letian, he had been prepared in advance, compressing nearly all his Vital Energy into his sword to counteract the destructive properties of the dark golden blade light.
The two of them charged out from the dust-covered area, looking up at each other and seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Zhou Jun did not emerge from the dust cloud, giving the two a brief moment to catch their breath.
"Brother Ye, even if we join forces now, we may not be able to defeat him. Do you have any good ideas?" At this moment, Yun Letian was already feeling hesitant about continuing, but he knew very well that once Zhou Jun broke the seal and allowed the Ancient Demon Lord to escape, even if they ran fast, they would likely not survive. Reluctantly, Yun Letian could only brace himself and stay put.
"There are methods available, but I'm not sure about them and they will require some time." In fact, ever since Shura Demon King Lu Tong mentioned "Dual Chaos Power," a thought had already surged in Ye Feng's mind as he recalled something that Lin Yue Zhen Ren had said to him before.
"The most powerful force within the Heavenly Source Power is the Chaos Power. What exactly is this dual Chaos Power? Could it be that the so-called Chaos Power is formed by merging the other eight types of source powers together? No wonder Zhou Jun suddenly became so formidable; it turns out he has already touched upon the edge of Chaos Power!” Ye Feng pondered silently.
"Wait a minute. Since it is the top-ranked power within the Heavenly Source Power, how could it be so easily comprehended? Right now, Zhou Jun has merely coincidentally merged the magic power of the Demon Spirit with his own Golden Elemental Force. The gap between him and true Chaos Power is vast beyond measure!"
Ye Feng's mind raced as the term "chaos" reminded him of the Seven Transformations of Chaos Technique he had obtained from his family's jade pendant. To cultivate the Seven Transformations of Chaos Technique to its peak, one must merge seven types of True Essence into a new form of power. If Mystical Demon Power could be fused with Golden Elemental Force, then the Spirit Energy he cultivated could also merge with the Vital Energy within him.
However, the current situation was dire, and it was not the time to study how to merge the two powers within him. Ye Feng glanced at the Blood Demon Wolf and Tianyi Daoist, who were locked in fierce combat not far away. He recalled Tianyi Daoist's True Essence Power when he had attacked him, and suddenly everything clicked.
"Demon power is also classified by rank. Although they all appear as Demonic Energy, their potency varies greatly. The Demon Spirit within Zhou Jun possesses only the lowest level of Mystical Demon Power. Only the Blood Demon Wolf and Nine-Headed Blood Python can wield higher-tier Mystical Demon Power. This is somewhat similar to the True Essence and Vital Energy possessed by warriors in the Gangwu Realm and Origin Martial Realm. At this moment, Zhou Jun has merely fused the lowest level of Demonic Energy with Vital Energy. If I can break through to the Gangwu Realm and transform all my Vital Energy into True Essence, killing him will not be difficult!"
With this realization, Ye Feng felt slightly more relaxed. After all, he had just had an opportunity for a breakthrough that he had forcibly interrupted. Now that he had found a glimmer of opportunity again, another breakthrough was not impossible; he just needed to accelerate his progress and not delay for too long. Otherwise, during this time, Zhou Jun could easily kill him!
Ye Feng pondered for a moment before sending a message to Yun Letian nearby: "Brother Yun, I need some time now. How long can you hold Zhou Jun off?"
"Need time? Are you planning to use some secret Martial Technique?" Yun Letian was taken aback and replied urgently, "I also have a secret technique that I can use at any moment. Once activated, it can hold off someone who has just broken through to the Gangwu Realm for a while and maintain an undefeated position. However, this technique can only last for half an hour; once that time is up, my Vital Energy will be completely exhausted, and I will have no combat power left!"
Yun Letian was worried; he did not know if he should place his last hope on Ye Feng.
"Half an hour!" Ye Feng estimated that this breakthrough would likely take nearly two hours. Unfortunately, Xiaobing was currently besieged by fully demonized Trial Disciples and could not assist him; he could only rely on himself to compress the breakthrough time to within half an hour.
"I can only try now!" Ye Feng gritted his teeth and firmly conveyed to Yun Letian, "Half an hour is enough, but I hope Brother Yun can hold on a bit longer so that my chances of victory will be greater."
Ye Feng did not want to waste time explaining further. After leaving this message, he took out a pill and swallowed it before sitting down on the ground. He placed his hands flat on his knees and directed his palms toward the sky, completely ignoring the dangers surrounding him.
