"hold head high!!"

The earth-shattering dragon roar was like a powerful announcement, suddenly erupting like thunder and instantly breaking the surrounding tranquility. What followed was a deafening commotion and clamor.

The eyes of that giant dragon, like stars that had been asleep for thousands of years, slowly opened under the gaze of everyone.

Those eyes, initially dull and lifeless, suddenly surged with a chilling light, as if capable of freezing all warmth in the world. A deafening dragon roar erupted from its throat, shaking the entire void.

"boom!"

As the dragon's roar echoed, the purplish-black flames surrounding the Three Thousand Blazing Flames suddenly surged, like a wildfire, instantly engulfing the edge of this void.

The flames contained the power of destruction and rebirth, inspiring awe. At the same time, the black runes covering the dragon's body also emitted a strange light, weaving into a huge net that tightly bound the Three Thousand Burning Flames, attempting to prevent it from breaking free.

"Roar!"

The Three Thousand Burning Flames roared in fury, the sound piercing through the barrier of nothingness and echoing in everyone's ears. The purplish-black flames scorched the black line runes, each flame containing an indomitable and defiant will.

At the same time, from the void, streams of cool starlight quietly seeped out, converging into a river that continuously flowed into the massive body of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, adding to its mystery and power.

Faced with the fierce counterattack of the Three Thousand Burning Flames after years of silence, even the seemingly indestructible black line runes seemed somewhat powerless.

Under the ravages of the purplish-black flames, some runes began to dim and lose their luster, as if they would be annihilated in the raging fire at any moment.

"Mu Gu, it really is you!"

The situation came too suddenly. Elder Qiu of the Pill Tower roared like thunder. He never expected that the Three Thousand Burning Flames would awaken at this moment.

Anger and murderous intent clashed on his face as he darted forward, heading straight for Old Monster Mu Gu.

Seeing this, the old monster Mu Gu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He sneered and said, "Since the Pill Tower is unable to subdue this strange fire, why not let my Soul Palace keep it safe? Such a good thing, why not do it?"

Before he finished speaking, the entire void seemed to be frozen by an invisible force, and all movement stopped abruptly at that moment.

Mu Gu Laoguai and Qiu Ling Elder stopped in their tracks simultaneously, took several steps back, and turned their gazes toward the direction of the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

The fiery dragon had broken free from the black runes that bound it and was now coiled in the void.

Although its dragon eyes were slightly tired from breaking the seal, its fierce aura, exuding a destructive power, grew even stronger.

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines, realizing that this ancient and powerful being had fully awakened. Elder Qiu's face was ashen; he knew the gravity of the situation.

Once freed from its seal, the Three Thousand Burning Flames possessed a power that was beyond the reach of ordinary people! However, Old Monster Mu Gu seemed unconcerned about this.

Instead, the other party revealed a slightly excited smile, took a step forward, and said to the Three Thousand Burning Flames, "Congratulations on your escape and rebirth. Does our previous agreement still stand?"

However, the Three Thousand Burning Flames remained unmoved by his words. Its enormous dragon eyes flashed with mockery, and a deep, majestic voice emanated from its massive maw: "The agreement will naturally stand. But before that, I need to travel the world. When I am satisfied, I will naturally go to your so-called Soul Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Old Monster Mu Gu's lips twitched, and the smile on his face gradually faded. He hadn't expected the Three Thousand Burning Flames to be so cunning in playing word games, and he couldn't help but say coldly:

"Are you trying to back out, sir?"

The Three Thousand Blazing Fire Dragon's eyes widened, and a chilling light flashed once more: "So what if you've gone back on your word!"

It knew full well the greed and cunning of the old ghost before it, and therefore held no hope for the promise of the old monster Mu Gu.

Old Monster Mu Gu's face darkened completely. Although he had expected things to not go smoothly, he did not expect that the Three Thousand Burning Flames would so decisively reject his proposal.

"Sis, what do we do?"

Looking at the chaotic star field, the black-clad youth couldn't help but wonder. That alien star dragon was really capable of causing trouble. With just a couple of roars, it had turned the entire star field upside down!

This is the opponent's home turf, like a dragon in the ocean. The opponent can stir up towering waves at will. Trying to suppress the strange fire here is undoubtedly more difficult than ascending to heaven!
"No rush, the real mastermind hasn't appeared yet."

Xiao Yue frowned slightly. She did not rush to make a move because, based on her understanding of the Soul Palace, it was impossible for them to send such a small fry as Mu Gu to his death.

Sure enough, the next moment, the old monster Mu Gu waved his withered hand lightly in the distance, and a black shadow tore through space like a ghost, carrying a terrifying scorching wind pressure straight towards the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

However, the Three Thousand Burning Flames were not so easily attacked. With a flick of its giant tail, it shattered the attacking black shadow. When Old Monster Mu Gu saw this, his face darkened. He did not expect the Three Thousand Burning Flames to react so quickly. However, he was no ordinary person either. With a clench of his hand, a dazzling silver jade tablet appeared in his hand.

Suddenly, an indescribable force erupted, tearing a hideous rift in the space around Old Monster Mu Gu, as if even the order of spacetime was shaken by this force!

Just as the crack slowly widened like the gaping maw of a giant beast, four figures, their entire bodies concealed beneath deep black robes, seemed to emerge from the netherworld and slowly traversed the spatial rift…

As these four mysterious figures descended, three immense and unparalleled auras swept across the entire void like a raging torrent, instantly forming an unprecedented storm! Under the ravages of this storm, even the awe-inspiring Three Thousand Burning Flames couldn't help but show a hint of solemnity and apprehension deep within its giant pupils.

"Soul Palace Celestial Venerable!"

The expression on Elder Qiu of Danta changed drastically in an instant. He had not expected that Old Monster Mugu would have such powerful backing.

What's even more chilling is that, as a fellow Dou Zun, he keenly sensed that the strength of these four black-robed men was actually above that of Old Monster Mu Gu, all possessing the strength of a seven-star Dou Zun. The leader among them was even more unfathomable, probably already at the eight-star or even nine-star level!

The gathering of four Dou Zun experts of seven stars or above was a lineup that even the top-tier forces on the Central Continent could hardly match, yet the Soul Hall could mobilize them so easily. This made Xiao Yue gain a deeper understanding of the Soul Hall's terrifying strength, and her fear of the Soul Hall quietly rose to a new level.

"The spatial jade slip... The Soul Palace has truly gone to great lengths to prepare for these Three Thousand Burning Flames, leaving no room for error!" Qiu Ling's gaze was sinister as he stared intently at the three figures emerging from the crack, gritting his teeth as he muttered.

The current situation has become extremely dire. With such a powerful boost suddenly added to Mu Gu Laoguai's side, even the Three Thousand Burning Flames, which has the power to rival the three giants of the Pill Tower, seems somewhat powerless in the face of the combined forces of five Dou Zun powerhouses.

Admittedly, the Three Thousand Burning Flames has been able to hold its own against the three giants of the Pill Tower for many years, but this does not mean that it truly possesses the strength to confront the three giants head-on!

"Black and White Celestial Venerables, the Ninth Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace—Mo Yu! I didn't expect even the people from the Heavenly Nether Sect to come. Xie Huang, how dare you!" Qiu Ling's face was ugly. He had already recognized the identities of these people.

The leader, the Nine Heavens Venerable, Mo Yu, stood tall and straight. Beneath his black robe, his extraordinary and refined temperament was undeniable. He seemed oblivious to Elder Qiu Ling's angry rebuke. His deep eyes pierced through the layers of darkness and landed directly on the silver-haired woman who maintained a calm and aloof demeanor, as serene as the moon.

"Is this the fallen Xiao Clan's rising star who has caused the Soul Palace to fail time and again? He does have a handsome appearance, but unfortunately, he's likely to perish here today." The Nine Heavens Venerable's eyes shot out two cold, eerie lights, his tone so indifferent that it was devoid of any human emotion.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue's silver hair fluttered gently, like moonlight falling. She didn't say anything more, but slowly raised her hand, her palm crackling with lightning. It was the purest lightning power in the world, which seemed to have come to life under her control, eager to try.

"The Nine Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace, huh? Their strength seems quite impressive, considerably stronger than Kong Cang of the Demon Phoenix Clan..."

After speaking, Xiao Yue suddenly leaped up, her body crackling with lightning, like a thunder god descending to earth, and an aura of world-destroying power instantly spread out.

She is currently at the peak of the second stage, but her true combat strength still needs further verification!
Dark clouds suddenly filled the star field, accompanied by lightning and thunder. The entire star field was shaken by this immense power of thunder. Countless thick bolts of lightning crashed down from the clouds, their target the four black-robed celestial beings.

Wherever the lightning passed, space distorted, stars lost their color, and even the heavens and earth changed color.

Demon Rain Celestial Venerable snorted coldly, his figure dodging like a ghost. At the same time, he raised his hand and waved, a dark energy surging from his palm, transforming into a huge ancient shield that forcefully blocked the lightning attacks.

However, the thunderstorm was so fierce that even he felt a chill and thought to himself that this woman was extraordinary.

"You think you can hurt me with mere lightning magic?"

Demon Rain Celestial Venerable sneered, then his figure shot up and rushed straight towards Xiao Yue. He knew that as long as he dealt with this troublesome woman, the others would be no threat.

The lightning was no longer wild, but became fine and gentle, like fine silk wrapped around her fingertips. Then it suddenly burst forth, transforming into countless tiny lightning snakes, which attacked Demon Rain Celestial Venerable with lightning speed.

These lightning snakes, though small, possess astonishing destructive power. They are agile and unpredictable, seemingly possessing intelligence, and specialize in attacking the weaknesses in the Demon Rain Celestial's defenses.

Demon Rain Celestial's pupils contracted slightly, and he then used all his strength to try to resist the invasion of these lightning snakes, but in the end, he still managed to let a few slip through, which took the opportunity to burrow into his body, causing considerable damage.

Just as the two sides were locked in fierce combat, the battle on the Three Thousand Burning Flames side was also intense.

Despite the efforts of Elder Qiu and the others, they were still powerless against the Three Thousand Burning Flames, whose strength had greatly increased after breaking free of their restraints.

A colossal fire dragon ravaged the star field, its purplish-black flames like the tentacles of death. Wherever it went, space shattered, stars fell, and the entire star field was shrouded in an aura of destruction.

"This can't go on!"

Elder Qiu was extremely anxious. He knew that if this dragged on any longer, not only would the Three Thousand Burning Flames be unable to be suppressed, but they themselves might also perish. So, he took a deep breath and made a bold decision.

He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and quickly formed hand seals, shouting:
"The Lock of the Stars!"

As he finished speaking, the previously dim stars in the sky suddenly lit up, and streaks of brilliant light converged into chains, like an inverted Milky Way, heading straight for the Three Thousand Blazing Fires.

These star chains contain the power of the stars and are incredibly tough; even the purplish-black flames of the Three Thousand Burning Flames cannot easily melt them.

"Roar!"

The Three Thousand Burning Flames roared in anger, sensing the threat posed by the star chains. It swung its giant claws wildly, trying to shatter them.

However, the Star Chains seemed to be alive, nimbly dodging and eventually tightly binding its limbs and neck, rendering it unable to move.

"Success!"

Elder Qiu was overjoyed at the sight. He knew that although his move could not completely seal the Three Thousand Burning Flames, it could at least temporarily trap it, buying time for the next action.

However, just when they thought the situation was improving, the fighting in the distance suddenly escalated.

Seeing that he could not subdue Xiao Yue in a short time, Demon Rain Celestial Venerable was furious. He roared and his black robe bulged, and a terrifying aura burst out from his body.

"cut!"

As his roar subsided, the entire star field seemed to be shrouded in an invisible darkness.

Those who were watching from a distance suddenly felt a darkness before their eyes and then lost consciousness, clearly being swallowed up by this dark power.

At that very moment, thunderclouds rolled across the sky, and countless thick bolts of lightning converged into a massive pillar of lightning, which struck directly at Demon Rain Celestial Venerable.

This attack was the strongest Five Thunder Technique that Xiao Yue could unleash, enough to shake the heavens and earth and destroy all things. Demon Rain Celestial Venerable's expression changed drastically upon seeing this; he never expected that this woman would have such a powerful trump card.

However, since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and face it head-on.

He let out a low roar, his entire body enveloped in a thick layer of dark energy, attempting to withstand the fatal blow. However, the moment the lightning bolt struck him, he couldn't help but let out a scream.

The terrifying power of lightning instantly pierced through his shadow shield, blasting him away and sending him crashing heavily into the void barrier. "Cough..."

Demon Rain Celestial Venerable struggled to his feet, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Just as the intelligence indicated, I really underestimated you. However, you are destined not to leave this star field today..." With that, Demon Rain Celestial Venerable sighed.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly punched the void, and as space shattered, four extremely terrifying invisible fist imprints appeared.

"Oh no, the star field is about to collapse!"

Elder Qiu Ling of the Danta Tower, who was in the distance, was immediately shocked upon seeing this.
