"Jiang Chen, you brat, you were born just to make people feel inferior!"

Elder Qing chuckled bitterly and said, "You little rascal, you just broke through the Venerable Realm, yet the power in your body is already at a level higher than ours. How, how is that fair at all?"

"I mean, while others are fighting for their lives, here we are chatting. Is this really proper? Let's start by explaining what's going on here. Also, what is this Divine Lock Chain you're talking about?" Jiang Chen shot Elder Qing a glare, adjusted his expression, and spoke softly.

When those words landed, everyone's faces grew solemn.

"Let me explain!"

Supreme Long Huang took the lead, pointing toward the ruins of the ancestral hall a hundred meters away, "That is Zhou Wanchen, the old ancestor of the Zhou Family. He is bound by the Divine Lock Chain. This chain is..."

After providing some details about the Divine Lock Chain and the events that had transpired, Supreme Long Huang said with a grave tone, "The biggest problem right now is that even if we kill Shang Yan and the Soul Clone of the Eight-Headed Serpent, we still won't be able to rescue Zhou Wanchen."

"Young Jiang, isn't your power naturally suppressive against the Soul Devouring Black Mist? Does merging it preserve these traits?" Elder Qing asked Jiang Chen hopefully.

The three Supremes froze, their gazes fixated on Jiang Chen, with Supreme Phoenix Luan's eyes filled with intense anticipation.

"The suppression is still intact, and it has even strengthened slightly. However... I can't guarantee that I can break the Divine Lock Chain. I'll try once the battle concludes," Jiang Chen said softly as he looked at the figure bound by chains amidst the ruins.

Supreme Long Huang and others nodded lightly, then turned their gazes toward the two main battlefields.

At that moment, with the inclusion of Ancestor Yue and two others, Ancestor Lan and Ancestor Li Jiang faintly overwhelmed Shang Yan, yet it was not an obvious advantage. Meanwhile, over at the Black Mist Serpent's field, the Grand Emperor and Ancestor Yue were evenly matched against it!

"This isn't going anywhere!" Supreme Long Huang frowned, "Let's join the fight!"

"You mustn't!"

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand to stop Supreme Long Huang, his voice steady, "You protect me as I go over and shield me from the residual forces of battle. I'll handle it myself!"

"You?!"

Supreme Long Huang and the others were taken aback, looking at Jiang Chen in surprise.

Jiang Chen gently nodded, "I'll have a more effective approach. Don't forget that the Soul Clones from the Huangluo Clan were only killed after I intervened!"

"Right, right, we completely forgot about that! Alright, we'll protect you there!" Supreme Long Huang quickly nodded.

Supreme Long Huang, Supreme Phoenix Luan, and Supreme Hu Sha ascended simultaneously, forming a triangular formation in mid-air. Jiang Chen flew to their center, advancing toward the ancestral hall under their protection.

Elder Qing watched Jiang Chen approach the battlefield in mid-air, a faint smile of relief emerged on his lips. With eyes filled with expectation, he murmured, "This boy has grown so fast; he's almost surpassed me already. Seems like I must push myself, or I won't be able to keep up with his pace."

Speaking further, Elder Qing lamented, "Witnessing his growth, I must continue to watch him ascend to the pinnacle of martial arts!"

As Jiang Chen and the others neared, the Black Mist Serpent suddenly sensed something amiss and roared, "Jiang Chen, you dare come closer? Are you looking for death?"

"You'll die first!" Jiang Chen retorted coldly.

Once he was about thirty meters away, Jiang Chen abruptly leaped and shouted, "With my Essence Blood, summon the Dragon Soul—Descending Divine Dragon!"

Thump!

Jiang Chen forced out a mouthful of Essence Blood. Sensing that this Soul Clone was different from the others, Jiang Chen directly unleashed the strongest form of his Descending Divine Dragon.

Buzz! Buzz!

Waves of ethereal and ancient energy emanated from Jiang Chen, accompanied by a domineering and raging aura that surged skyward.

Soon, two dragon figures shimmered behind Jiang Chen—one golden, one blood-red. His entire body radiated golden, blood-red, and gray light.

"This sensation... impossible! Impossible! At your level, how could you... No! Impossible!"

The Black Mist Serpent's eyes filled with terror as it roared frantically at Shang Yan, "Shang Yan, sacrifice yourself!"

Shang Yan's face changed drastically, biting his lip in pain before shouting fiercely, "Sacrifice!"

Bang!

Shang Yan's body exploded, transforming into a cloud of black mist that surged toward the Black Mist Serpent.

Ancestors Lan and Li Jiang hastily attacked the black mist but managed to scatter only one-third of it.

"Soul Devour!"

The Black Mist Serpent roared, all eight heads opened wide and unleashed a powerful suction toward the black mist!

Bang! Bang!

Taking this opportunity, the Grand Emperor and Ancestor Yue landed fierce strikes on the Black Mist Serpent, but it ignored them, enduring the attacks entirely.

"Divine Dragon, annihilate!"

A resolute shout came forth as Jiang Chen manipulated his hands, directing streams of tricolored light into a vortex. The Essence Blood he spat fused into the vortex's center and disappeared.

Roar!

Roar!

Two dragon roars resonated as the two ethereal dragon figures behind Jiang Chen merged with his body, then burst forth from the vortex.

The moment they emerged, the two dragon figures morphed into tangible, massive dragons.

The Golden Divine Dragon and Blood Fury Dragon appeared. The moment they sensed an extreme hostility, they charged at the Black Mist Serpent without waiting for commands.

Roar!

By this moment, the Black Mist Serpent had completely absorbed the black mist formed from Shang Yan's sacrifice. It cast a glance at the Golden Divine Dragon and Blood Fury Dragon before letting out an enraged roar: "Jiang Chen, you shouldn't exist, you absolutely shouldn't exist! I will kill you!"

Boom!

The two divine dragons collided with the Black Mist Serpent, resulting in deafening explosions.

Bang!

An eruption followed, as the two dragons and the Black Mist Serpent exploded simultaneously. The shattered dragons transformed into tricolored light. Wherever the light reached, the mist from the serpent completely dissipated.

"Quick! Seal off the space and don't let the Eight-Headed Serpent's Soul Consciousness escape!" Jiang Chen urged aloud.

Buzz! Buzz!

Streams of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy were guided by the Grand Emperor and others, sealing off a hundred-meter radius.

Under the illumination of tricolored light, the black mist quickly dissipated, vanishing entirely in moments!

"Nothing left?! Did it escape?" the Grand Emperor exclaimed in shock.

"Maintain the spatial seal!" Jiang Chen quickly reminded everyone.

Everyone maintained the locked space, keeping their full attention on Jiang Chen.

Under their gazes, Jiang Chen furrowed his brows tightly and slowly closed his eyes.

Buzz! Buzz!

Ancient energy once again manifested around Jiang Chen.

Moments later, tricolored light radiated sharply from Jiang Chen, illuminating the area within the locked hundred-meter radius.

After a brief focus, Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"It's there!"

...
