 A thousand feet was but a mere foot in the eyes of a Dou Zun. As Chen Guan and the others watched, the group of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan had already arrived on the square.

  It was only then that they truly grasped their strength.

  The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan comprised nine individuals, and aside from a young woman, the rest were surprisingly all Dou Zun!

  Eight Dou Zun!

  Such power was truly terrifying!

  The most powerful of them all was a sinister old man who stared intently at Chen Guan. His gaze betrayed an irreconcilable hatred for him, and his elusive aura made even the highest-level Skyfire Venerable feel a surge of pressure.

  A peak Dou Zun!

  Perhaps even reaching the Ninth Transformation stage!

  After a brief inspection, Chen Guan and the others felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

  Besides them, there were two unremarkable men, but their strength was not lacking. Both were Six-Star Dou Zun. While not as strong as the Skyfire Venerable, they were not far behind.

  Below these two was an old man with the emblem of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan embroidered on his robe.

  A five-star Dou Zun!

  Next came Venerable Lei, the head of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, whom Chen Guan had met once before, and several unfamiliar low-rank Dou Zun.

  "The identities of the three strong ones are unknown. Following Venerable Lei are the two-star Dou Zun leaders of the Earth Tiger and Silver Moon Wolf tribes. These two tribes are affiliated with the Sky Demon Phoenix. The others are all members of the Sky Demon Phoenix."

  Little Medical Immortal whispered beside Chen Guan.

  In the days before the ruins were opened, everyone had some knowledge of the forces that had appeared in the Beast Skeleton Mountains.

  However, judging by the current situation, it was clear that many were hiding in the dark.

  Chen Guan nodded slightly, his expression serious.

  After entering the ruins, he led his men almost without delay, heading straight for the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit, hoping to avoid any trouble.

  But now it seemed he had taken things for granted.

  These people had probably been secretly watching him, which was why they arrived so quickly.

  Plans going awry was not surprising, but the appearance of such a powerful enemy was somewhat unexpected.

  "Prepare for battle. Zi Yan, stay out of the fight. You'll seize the opportunity to collect the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. Once you succeed, we'll immediately withdraw!" Despite

  the overwhelming force, Chen Guan wasn't intimidated.

  Given the strength of those present, as well as their hidden cards, he had a good chance of escaping unscathed.

  No matter what, the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit couldn't be surrendered!

  "Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit?!"

  A shocking scream suddenly resounded, emanating from the weakest young woman on the opposing side.

  Clearly, she had finally understood the source of the call from within her heart.

  Even though members of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan stronger than her were already present, she was the first to confirm it. This indicated that this woman's bloodline must be of good quality within the Clan.

  Was she that Feng Qing'er?

  Upon hearing the woman's scream, the expression of a white-haired man from the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan beside her suddenly changed. He stared blankly at the altar's summit, his eyes then filled with a shimmering, frenzied fervor. If

  Zi Yan understood the significance of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, they would surely understand it even more.

  In fact, they valued it far more than Zi Yan.

  After all, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan only secured the Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit to maintain their current supremacy as a demon beast, while if the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan obtained it, it would be their only hope for a comeback!

  He was about to shout at Chen Guan's men to leave, but when his gaze shifted to Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan, he sensed the utter disgust running through their bloodlines and immediately understood their identities.

  This battle was inevitable!

  Like the white-haired man, Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan disliked everything about them, eager to crush each other immediately.

  The atmosphere grew increasingly solemn and dignified. Surprisingly, the first to break the deadlock was not someone from the two clans, but the most powerful elder.

  "Chen Guan, today I will bury you here forever. Blood debt paid with blood!"

  "Nine Netherworld Hands!"

  the old man roared, and a stern figure flashed before him. A massive, pitch-black hand, like a ghostly claw, pierced through space and slashed towards Chen Guan's head with lightning speed.

  The first strike was a killing blow!

  Chen Guan still didn't know the man's identity, how he knew him, or what grudge they had against each other, but now was not the time to dwell on such matters.

  Faced with the imminent danger, Chen Guan abandoned all restraint. With a jolt of energy, he released his aura completely, surging flames emanating from his body, transforming into a fiery dragon that fiercely charged forward.

  Simultaneously, dark shadows shot out from his fingertips, fearlessly charging towards the pitch-black hand. They were over a dozen puppets of varying strengths.

  As Chen Guan moved, the others followed suit.

  Medusa summoned her puppet, a six-star Dou Zun, which arrived first, also charging towards the pitch-black hand.

  Skyfire Zun, Phantom Poison, Little Medical Immortal, Qing Lin, and Xiong Zhan all charged, unleashing powerful fighting techniques to relieve Chen Guan's pressure.

  Only Zi Yan bit her lip, mindful of Chen Guan's instructions, and instantly arrived before the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, ready to collect it.

  Seeing his actions, the people on the opposite side who had not yet taken action could no longer sit still and joined the battle.

  "How dare you, youngster!"

  "Elder Huangxuan, attack quickly!"

  the white-haired man shouted angrily, charging at Zi Yan first. The five-star Dou Zun elder of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan also joined the fray at Feng Qing'er's respectful request.

  They were accompanied by the chiefs of the Earth Tiger Clan and the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.

  As subordinates, they shared common prosperity and common suffering, and there was no time for hesitation.

  Besides these men, the two unfamiliar six-star Dou Zun also joined the fray, but their targets weren't Zi Yan; they went straight for Chen Guan.

  A fierce Dou Zun melee erupted at this moment.

  On the other side, despite the terrifying strength of the old man who attacked, he held nothing back. Against the combined might of nearly ten Dou Zun masters on Chen Guan's side, the pitch-black hand was unable to strike, dispelled by the powerful Dou Qi.

  Turning back to watch the battle unfold, Chen Guan exchanged a glance with Medusa, Skyfire Venerable, and the others. Their years of tacit understanding were enough to understand each other without needing to speak.

  Chen Guan and the others immediately retreated, leaving only Skyfire Venerable, Medusa's puppet, and the dozen or so puppets to confront the old man.

  After their initial exchange, they had a rough idea of his strength. He

  was undoubtedly a Nine-Star Dou Zun, but hadn't yet reached the Ninth Transformation stage.

  So, despite his formidable power, Skyfire Venerable, with the support of his puppets, could easily hold him off for a while.

  As for Chen Guan, Little Medical Immortal, Qing Lin, Ghost Poison Old Monster, and Xiong Zhan, they all immediately turned and split into two groups. The rest intercepted the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan members charging towards Zi Yan, while Chen Guan faced the two unfamiliar Six-Star Dou Zun alone.

  "Thunder Venerable, take action! After this, our Sky Demon Phoenix Clan will reward you handsomely!"

  Seeing the first round of attacks stopped, the white-haired man turned and shouted at Thunder Venerable, the only one who hadn't taken action.

  The Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit was too valuable, and the opponent's strength was equally formidable. In this situation, every bit of strength must be fought for.

  Upon hearing the shout, Venerable Lei took a step forward when his heart suddenly trembled, as if he were being stared at by some ancient beast.

  He turned around and met Chen Guan's deadly gaze, as if he would be slain in the next moment if he had any.

  His raised foot faltered in the air, and Venerable Lei's face froze, then turned to a blush of shame.

  He was a renowned and powerful figure in Zhongzhou, yet to be frightened by a single glance filled Venerable Lei's face with fury.

  "Pavilion Master, please take action! This person controls three thousand thunders. This is our only chance to retrieve them... Ah!"

  Feng Qing'er, standing beside him, was still fanning the flames. However, before she could finish her words, she felt a flash of light before her eyes. Medusa was already close. With a merciless blow, she sent him flying dozens of feet. When she rose again, her delicate face was a bloody mess, unrecognizable as human.

  Given her strength, even if Queen Medusa wasn't a Dou Zun, defeating her would be easy. Not killing her with a single blow was already a great act of mercy.

  "Ah! How dare you!"

  A Dou Zun powerhouse was actually being sent flying by a Dou Zong right under his nose. Thunder Venerable's turmoil was evident.

  Responding immediately, his face burned even more, the humiliation compounded.

  Even a cornered dog bites, let alone a Dou Zun.

  With a roar, Thunder Venerable erupted, swinging his palm towards Medusa.

  Though seemingly mad with rage, he had his own agenda, purposefully ignoring Chen Guan's exposed identity.

  In the current situation, he believed both Skyfire Venerable and Chen Guan could only hold out for a while; a prolonged battle would undoubtedly lead to defeat.

  Feng Qing'er was right; this was his only chance to reclaim the Three Thousand Thunders!

  "Looking for death!"

  Seeing Venerable Lei attack Medusa, Chen Guan, who had been keeping an eye on the situation, was enraged. He immediately split his attention, waving his palms to repel the two Dou Zun while simultaneously striking back with a slash.

  It wasn't that he was being arrogant, or even distracted by two six-star Dou Zun. In fact, during his confrontation with them, Chen Guan discovered that, despite being six-star Dou Zun, their cultivation techniques and Dou Qi were extremely cold, effectively suppressing such opponents with his strange fire.

  Furthermore, the two seemed to have other concerns, only daring to attack from a distance rather than close up to kill. If he hadn't been able to truly sense their strength, Chen Guan would have suspected that he was only six-star while the other two were four-star.

  This was precisely why he was able to handle them so easily, leaving him with ample energy to monitor all directions.

  The extremely sharp blade pierced through space, rapidly shrinking, leaving a lingering mark on the sky. In an instant, it had reached Venerable Lei.

  Though Chen Guanxin's single, dual-purpose strike was merely a single strike, it was not something Lei Zun could ignore. Within the converging bladelight, Lei Zun sensed a terrifying danger. He

  instantly retracted his attacking hand, his body flashing as several clones materialized. With the combined strength of their 'humans,' they launched palm after palm, resisting with all their might.

  A riot of multicolored Dou Qi shone, a dazzling display of killing intent. Thunder rumbled, and space shattered like paper beneath the clash of dozens of Dou Zun. Ripples of violence spread wildly from the altar, one wave rising after another.

  The commotion was so devastating that many who had just entered the ancient forest felt as if they were caught in a wave. Even the experts who had entered other passages were aware of it and all looked in the same direction.

  "The entire ruins are shaking. Powerful individuals are clashing, and I'm afraid there are quite a few."

  With this thought, countless people began to rapidly converge in one direction.

  There will be no war breaking out without a reason. In all likelihood, something extraordinary has happened!
