The moment the man in the golden mask appeared, the entire plain was enveloped in an immense pressure.
The human cultivators on the plain felt their hearts tremble incessantly.
Xiao Yun's expression also turned solemn.
It was people from the Samsara Hall again. These people were truly relentless.
"That's someone from the Samsara Hall. Damn it, those guys are too detestable..."
"Indeed. Those from the Samsara Hall aren't joining us to stop the dark races from opening the passage. Instead, they've been targeting Young Master Xiao..."
"They have no sense of the bigger picture, yet they want Young Master Xiao to submit. They're dreaming too big. Young Master Xiao isn't someone who hasn't dealt with quasi-Emperor level super cultivators before..."
"That's right. I heard that Young Master Xiao previously had a great battle with three quasi-Emperors from the Samsara Hall. Three quasi-Emperors, one dead and two injured. Who knows what this one is..."
...
The human cultivators nearby chattered amongst themselves.
They had all heard about the previous conflict between the Samsara Hall and the Primal Chaos Sacred Land.
Some had even witnessed Xiao Yun's fight with those quasi-Emperors from the Samsara Hall.
"Don't you care at all about the dark races attacking the Ancient Continent?" Xiao Yun stared directly at the man in the golden mask and asked slowly.
Dark clouds churned in the sky, and their powerful auras shot straight into the heavens, as if to tear them apart.
"Even if the entire Ancient Continent is annihilated, what does it have to do with us? That's your Ancient Continent!" the man in the golden mask replied, shrugging indifferently.
Xiao Yun's heart sank. These people...
"There's no need to discuss anything else now. If you're willing to submit, I can dispatch some people to help you resolve this crisis!" the man in the golden mask continued, a look of admiration in his eyes.
He was well aware of the potential and strength of the Primal Chaos Immortal Body.
Furthermore, the series of battles had proven Xiao Yun's might.
"Don't dream. Since that's the case, let me see the strength of a branch hall master of the Samsara Hall!" Xiao Yun sneered and then activated the power within him. Countless torrents of energy appeared in the space.
The man in the golden mask smiled slightly. "Little one, do you really think the Primal Chaos Immortal Body is invincible? I'll let you witness our Samsara Hall's Great Spirit Extinguishing Array!!"
As the man in the golden mask spoke, an incredibly fierce surge of energy erupted from him.
Immediately, the surrounding void trembled, and countless grey runes vibrated incessantly.
"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"
In an instant, a super array materialized in the void.
The entire space was plunged into an atmosphere of terrifying suppression.
Xiao Yun's spiritual power was also affected, and soon, he was unable to unleash his fierce offensive.
This is bad. This is a spirit-extinguishing array. Spiritual power is completely suppressed.
Xiao Yun frowned. With this, his immunity to magic would be of no advantage.
If his immortal body were fully perfected, he could naturally ignore all formations, but it was obvious that Xiao Yun was still a long way from achieving that.
"Xiao Yun, you didn't think I'd come without any preparation, did you!" the man in the golden mask shouted with a mocking glint in his eyes.
If neither side could use divine abilities or magical power, the man in the golden mask was confident he could capture Xiao Yun.
"Rumble!!!"
As soon as the man in the golden mask finished speaking, he launched a fierce assault on Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun took a deep breath and then struck out at the man in the golden mask.
The two collided rapidly, and an intense battle erupted.
The numerous human cultivators in the distance stared intently at the fierce battle unfolding above.
As the fight progressed, both Xiao Yun and the man in the golden mask soon sustained numerous injuries.
With neither side able to use divine abilities or magical power,
their combat became a brutal exchange of punches, direct and unrefined.
"I didn't expect your physical strength to be so formidable, to be able to fight me to this extent!" the man in the golden mask said sternly, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth.
The man in the golden mask had initially believed that with the spirit-extinguishing array in place, victory was assured.
He had never anticipated that Xiao Yun's physical strength would also be peerless, comparable to some ancient divine beasts.
"There's still much you don't know!" Xiao Yun stated calmly.
As the wielder of the Primal Chaos Immortal Body, Xiao Yun had naturally foreseen the possibility of facing such a situation.
Therefore, at the Primal Chaos Sacred Land, besides improving his cultivation realm, Xiao Yun had also practiced top-tier body-refining techniques and reached an extremely high level in them.
"Rumble!!!"
As they continued to fight, a massive roar suddenly echoed from Ink幽 Island.
The entire Dark Abyss shook violently.
The blood moon in the sky began to tear apart, countless clouds churned and broke, and the earth cracked open in many places.
It was as if the entire Abyss was on the verge of destruction.
Following this, a colossal pillar of golden light appeared in the center of Ink幽 Island. This immense golden pillar tore through space, piercing through the entire world.
The golden pillar continuously expanded, seemingly poised to engulf all of Ink幽 Island.
Xiao Yun, engaged in battle, felt a profound shift in the surrounding energies. The Great Spirit Extinguishing Array seemed to be dissipating.
On the other side, the man in the golden mask's face contorted in extreme displeasure. What was happening? Was the Great Spirit Extinguishing Array about to collapse? Impossible...
"Now, let me show you the might of the Primal Chaos Immortal Body!"
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yun's eyes. The Primal Chaos Immortal Body erupted with unparalleled power, causing the entire space to tremble.
The man in the golden mask's heart sank. Gritting his teeth, he unleashed all his remaining strength.
The two unleashed an even more ferocious battle.
...
Meanwhile.
Ink幽 Island.
At this moment, the golden pillar in the center of Ink幽 Island had already encompassed the entire central region.
At the very core, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, fueled by countless forces, continuously released terrifying and unparalleled energy.
The entire Ink幽 Island was undergoing a tremendous upheaval.
Soon, the sky completely shattered, and the golden pillar dispelled all the bloody aura from the heavens.
Even the blood-red moon was utterly destroyed.
Bright white daylight streamed through the sky, allowing the entire Dark Abyss to slowly receive the nourishment of the sun.
As the sky fractured, immense spiritual energy and radiant vitality poured into the Dark Abyss.
The entire Dark Abyss seemed to be undergoing a monumental transformation.
"The passage is open. Let us enjoy a supreme feast..." a fierce and hoarse voice resonated across Ink幽 Island, then spread outwards into the surrounding Dark Abyss.
