Chapter 543: Chapter 544: Great Crisis (5th Update)

The Immortal Demon Lord’s palm strike from midair

contained a force that was several times stronger than the one just before!

This palm strike, fueled by the Immortal Demon Lord’s anger, was meant to directly slay Chu Fengmian.

Once he turned murderous, the Immortal Demon Lord became countless times more terrifying than just a moment ago.

Chu Fengmian could feel the power of this palm strike and knew that even with the aid of the True Dragon Ancestral Spirit, trying to take it head-on would surely result in his death.

"Phantom! Formless and Invisible!"

Chu Fengmian moved, pushing the Phantom movement technique to its limit. His power ascended once more as he grasped the latest layer of the Phantom movement technique, Formless and Invisible.

His body suddenly vanished; to the Immortal Demon Lord’s astonished gaze, Chu Fengmian reappeared at the secret chamber’s exit in the next moment. Then, his figure instantly left the chamber, escaping its confines.

"Thinking of escaping? Don’t you dream of it! No one can escape from the palm of my hand!"

The Immortal Demon Lord roared loudly, sweeping through with his demonic aura, and he too abruptly gave chase, leaving the chamber behind.

Chu Fengmian left the chamber and immediately flew towards the deepest parts of the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s tomb, as guided by his bloodline.

The closer he got to the heart of the tomb, the stronger the restrictions became; Chu Fengmian intended to escape from the Immortal Demon Lord’s grasp.

He needed to utilize the power of the tomb’s restrictions, which he could easily bypass but also could use to slow down the Immortal Demon Lord.

On his journey, Chu Fengmian had activated all his power, without any concealment, filling the entire Ancient Dragon Emperor’s tomb with his bursting battle dragon aura instead.

There surely were more than just the seven slumbering True Dragon Ancestral Spirits in this tomb. If Chu Fengmian could awaken even more of them, he might gain additional strength to help him.

And the closer he got to the depths of the tomb, the more Chu Fengmian felt that the true treasure within the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s tomb must be extraordinary.

If he could obtain it, Chu Fengmian’s strength would undergo a qualitative leap.

Chu Fengmian felt that if he could get this treasure, he might even stand a chance in a fight against the Immortal Demon Lord.

Chu Fengmian dashed through countless restrictions, plunging deeper into the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s tomb.

With his speed, Chu Fengmian covered dozens of kilometers in an instant.

But the immense demonic aura behind him was not shaken off one bit; instead, it was getting closer.

The Immortal Demon Lord had no intention of letting Chu Fengmian go.

While Chu Fengmian kept flying deeper into the tomb, the Immortal Demon Lord was right behind him, relentlessly pursuing.

The restrictions along the way that were deadly to many martial artists posed no real obstacle to a being like the Immortal Demon Lord.

It was even to the point that Chu Fengmian was about to be overtaken.

In the span of three breaths, the Immortal Demon Lord had gained upon him.

"Damn it! The Immortal Demon Lord is going all out, intent on killing me today!"

Chu Fengmian understood that the Immortal Demon Lord had a deadly resolve.

How terrifying a high-ranking being of life and death with a murderous intent could truly be.

The Immortal Demon Lord, completely disregarding the numerous restrictions, barreled through and charged directly into the depths of the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s tomb.

"Boy, I want to see where else you can run to!"

In the Immortal Demon Lord’s hand, a seven-tiered pagoda suddenly appeared, forcefully brought down upon Chu Fengmian.

On this seven-story magic tower, countless demonic creatures were depicted, some of which had bared fangs and brandished claws, soaring into the sky as if intent on challenging the heavens.

"Ten Thousand Demon Covering Heaven Tower?"

Chu Fengmian looked at the seven-story magic tower and exclaimed in shock.

The images carved on this magic tower were none other than the Ten Thousand Demon Covering Heaven Map, which had been personally designed by the first Martial Artist of the Nine Domains’ demonic path, the Ancient Demon Emperor.

The first among the supreme treasures in the Ancient Demon Emperor’s possession was the Ten Thousand Demon Covering Heaven Tower, created specifically to challenge the heavens and overturn the Heavenly Dao.

Although he ultimately failed, the Ten Thousand Demon Covering Heaven Tower, with its heaven-defying capabilities, was testament to how terrifying a Spiritual Artifact it was.

The tower before them was a replicated artifact of the Ten Thousand Demon Covering Heaven Tower.

The true Ten Thousand Demon Covering Heaven Tower was a supreme spiritual weapon, a Spiritual Artifact that was on par with the Emperor’s Jar.

Yet this seven-story magic tower before him was just an Earth-Level Peerless Spiritual Artifact, which in reality was extremely close to a Heaven-Level Spiritual Artifact.

It contained a fraction of the true Ten Thousand Demon Covering Heaven Tower’s power and was just one step away from a Heaven-Level Spiritual Artifact such as the Rich Harvest Stele.

As soon as this seven-story magic tower appeared, it aimed to suppress Chu Fengmian alive beneath its base.

"Rich Harvest Stele! Come forth!"

In Chu Fengmian’s hand, a palm-sized stele suddenly appeared, which instantly grew to several dozen meters in size, colliding directly with the seven-story magic tower.

"Boom!"

The colossal spiritual power generated from the collision seemed to slightly shake the surrounding space, sending the seven-story magic tower flying away.

Although the seven-story magic tower was infinitely close to a Heaven-Level Spiritual Artifact, it still fell short when compared to a true Heaven-Level Spiritual Artifact.

"A Heaven-Level Spiritual Artifact? You actually have another Heaven-Level Spiritual Artifact in your hands?"

The Undying Demon Lord looked at the Rich Harvest Stele in Chu Feng’s hand, mad with envy.

He was a prominent figure from the Earth Demon Sect, a high-ranking existence within the Realm of Life and Death, and the closest he had to a Heavenly-Level Spiritual Artifact was this replicated Ten Thousand Demon Covering Heaven Tower.

This was already the most powerful Spiritual Artifact in his possession, but now, aside from the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword, Chu Fengmian actually had other Heaven-Level Spiritual Artifacts.

How could he not be envious?

"What good is a Heaven-Level Spiritual Artifact? Without enough strength, all external items are of no use. You still wish to resist? Heavenly Demon Cage! Come out!"

The Undying Demon Lord reached out, and an endless surge of demonic intent suddenly coalesced around Chu Fengmian, rapidly forming a cage that completely imprisoned him.

"Seal!"

With the appearance of this cage, the intent was to completely lock Chu Fengmian down, leaving him with no route of escape.

"Damn it, the strength of this Undying Demon Lord is just too powerful; his power could easily annihilate me, but instead, he chose to capture me alive. This is my chance!"

Chu Fengmian was well aware of his current predicament. If the Undying Demon Lord truly wanted to kill him, he would have done so with a single blow.

But instead of using the seven-story magic tower or forming a cage to trap Chu Fengmian, the Undying Demon Lord wanted to capture him alive, inadvertently granting Chu Fengmian a slim opportunity.

"Roar!"

From Chu Fengmian’s mouth, a Dragon Roar echoed forth, resonating through the surrounding space.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Suddenly, countless Dragon Roars—over ten of them—began echoing around.
