"Speak—how do you want to die?" the Queen said to
"How I want to die? You really do talk big."
"Looks like I'll have to show you my strength before you understand what I'm capable of."
After saying that, Chu Zhiyuan actually hurled the half-finished Immortal Armament away from his hand.
The moment the weapon left his grasp, it released a massive blood-red aura. That blood-red aura fused with the blood-red aura emanating from Chu Zhiyuan himself, and the two merged into a colossal beast made entirely of crimson flames.
The aura beast bore some resemblance to
Once the aura beast appeared, the blood-red aura that had been trembling earlier stopped wavering entirely, now radiating an aura that seemed ready to challenge the Queen head-on.
ROAAAAR—
A furious roar erupted as the massive aura beast lunged toward the Queen.
"Hmph."
But before even that formidable aura beast, the Queen simply let out a soft snort. She stood in place without moving a single inch, yet the dark energy she radiated had already surged from every direction to attack the aura beast.
The aura beast's presence was imposing, but before the Queen's dark energy from the
After a brief clash, the aura beast's momentum was quickly suppressed by the Queen's dark energy, clearly on the verge of being overwhelmed.
"Eggie, be careful. That Chu Zhiyuan still seems to have a trump card he hasn't played."
But even though the Queen had gained an overwhelming advantage with her very first move, Chu Feng's brow remained tightly furrowed, and he couldn't help but secretly warn
Because Chu Feng had been observing Chu Zhiyuan the entire time. He noticed that although the aura beast was already being suppressed and Chu Zhiyuan himself was in imminent danger, the man's face showed only displeasure and defiance—no trace of fear.
That told Chu Feng that Chu Zhiyuan definitely had another card to play. Otherwise, he wouldn't be acting so boldly.
AWOOO—
A miserable cry rang out, and in the next instant, the vast blood-red aura erupted in all directions like a volcanic explosion.
The aura beast that Chu Zhiyuan had conjured with the half-finished Immortal Armament had been destroyed.
Right now, the dark energy released by the Queen was like an army from hell itself, completely surrounding Chu Zhiyuan.
Yet despite all of this, Chu Zhiyuan remained utterly unafraid.
"Chu Feng, do you remember what I said earlier?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
"What?" Chu Feng replied.
"I said that today, no matter what, you will die here." Chu Zhiyuan said.
"Arrogant fool. You can barely save yourself, and yet you dare spout words like that. You truly won't accept the inevitable until you're staring death in the face. This Queen…will show you today what torture methods from the Asura Spirit World feel like. I'll make you wish you were dead, begging me to kill you."
The Queen was enraged by Chu Zhiyuan's words, and as she spoke, the dark energy transformed into countless razor-sharp claws that shot toward Chu Zhiyuan.
This wasn't just about taking his life—the Queen genuinely intended to make him pay the price.
BOOM—
But just as the countless dark claws were about to seize Chu Zhiyuan, everything in the surrounding world seemed to freeze.
The Queen and the dark energy she had released came to an abrupt halt in an instant, unable to move even slightly.
"This aura?"
At that moment, Chu Feng's expression changed drastically. He had sensed the presence of a Venerable—that Venerable's aura was what had bound the Queen.
"Who are you?!"
In a panic, Chu Feng turned his gaze toward
