He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

"Husband, hurry, we can't bear it anymore..."

Bibi Dong's soul transmission was filled with pain; their original souls were constantly being eroded by Lu Chen's vast, ocean-like power, as if they would shatter at any moment.

"Just bear with it, it'll be over soon..."

Lu Chen gritted his teeth and gently comforted his two wives with his thoughts.

He stared intently at the thick cauldron wall in front of him. The surrounding temperature was rising higher and higher, the air was beginning to distort, and his breath felt so hot that it felt like it would burn through his lungs.

Time is of the essence; we can't delay any longer!

"Ghost-Faced Spider, go!"

With a thought, Lu Chen felt the shadow beneath his feet wriggle, and a ferocious, enormous phantom of a demonic spider roared and materialized.

Eight sharp spider legs, like death scythes, lunged at the cauldron wall!

"Bang--!!!"

The phantom of the demonic spider exploded with a deafening roar, and a dark purple energy shockwave rippled out from the cauldron wall, causing the entire space to tremble slightly.

But that's not enough!

"Holy Light Ten-Hit Combo!!"

Without pausing, Lu Chen grasped the sword with both hands, and the brilliant Holy Sword of Light condensed once more, with sacred runes flowing across its blade.

His figure moved like lightning, turning into ten afterimages, and his ten swords struck in succession, each one hitting the same spot with perfect precision!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

The dense slashing sounds exploded like thunder.

The power of light clashed violently with the dark energy emanating from the cauldron's walls.

It sprayed out dazzling sparks!

"Boss! Let's go! Kill it!!!"

"Boss! Charge!!"

Canglong and Miaotiao Jun covered their ears, their eardrums stinging from the terrifying sound waves, but they still shouted themselves hoarse to cheer for Lu Chen.

Their eyes were full of trust; as long as their leader was there, there was no insurmountable obstacle!

Under Lu Chen's relentless and ferocious output, fine cracks finally appeared on the incredibly sturdy cauldron wall!

The crack is expanding at a rate visible to the naked eye!

"Snap—!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and at the edge of the crack, the power of light and the energy of darkness clashed fiercely, emitting a hissing and burning sound!

"It worked!!"

Zanglong shouted in surprise.

However, just as the cheers were about to erupt...

"Buzz—!!!"

Strands of black mist suddenly surged out from the cracks!

Its speed was astonishing, and it swept straight towards Lu Chen!

Lu Chen's heart tightened, and a strong sense of danger surged into his heart!

He instinctively swung the Holy Sword of Light, its blazing holy light slashing towards the black mist!

"Hiss hiss hiss—!"

The power of light clashed violently with the dark mist, producing a piercing, corrosive sound.

However, it only slightly reduced the concentration of the black fog, and could not completely block it!

"Holy crap! What the hell is this thing?!"

Hidden Dragon's startled cry came from behind him, filled with fear.

"Boss! Save me! This black mist... it's devouring my flesh and blood!!"

In less than a second, Hidden Dragon accidentally touched the edge of the spreading black mist with one of his fingers.

The flesh on that finger disappeared rapidly, as if being devoured by an invisible monster, revealing the stark white finger bone!

"cut!"

Hua Zhanyue reacted extremely quickly. A flash of cold light appeared on the longsword in her hand, and a sharp sword aura slashed towards the black mist that was trying to spread.

However, the sword energy disappeared into the black mist, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

It didn't even cause a ripple before being swallowed up in an instant.

"A vast expanse of ice!!"

Su Daji let out a sharp cry, and an extremely cold aura erupted from her body.

The pale blue frost power spread out like a tide, directly confronting the black mist.

The spread of the black mist did slow down somewhat as the cold air passed through, but it still could not be completely eliminated, and the black mist continued to erode the ice layer.

"A celestial maiden scatters flowers!"

Zhu Qingqing bit her fingertip, and her blood transformed into countless fine, blood-red needles, which shot towards the black mist like a torrential rain.

However, the moment the flying needle touched the black mist, it was instantly swallowed up, without even causing a ripple.

"Help me...help me...I don't want to die...I don't want to die!!"

A piercing scream came from behind.

Wang Xiaoqiao was desperately pulling herself up with her hands as she crawled toward Canglong and the others.

Her legs had been completely swallowed by the black mist, leaving only her white thigh bones, which were particularly glaring and terrifying.

The jeweled mask on her face had somehow fallen off, revealing a face covered in pockmarks.

At this moment, it was distorted by extreme fear.

Snot and tears mixed together, making him look utterly pathetic.

Liu Yanyan and Chen Xiaofeng were quite far away, and by now they were so frightened that they sat down on the ground, their faces ashen and their bodies trembling.

"No...don't come any closer..."

As the black mist drew ever closer, Liu Yanyan let out a desperate cry, her face streaked with tears and snot.

She scrambled to Hua Zhanyue's feet, clinging to his leg as if grasping at a last straw:

"Help me...help me..."

Hua Zhanyue's face darkened, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. He really wanted to kick this troublesome woman away.

But looking into her desperate and fearful eyes, he hesitated for a moment and did not make a move.

"ah--!!!"

A more piercing, desperate scream rang out—it was Wang Xiaoqiao!

The remaining flesh and blood on her body were being devoured by the black mist at a visible speed!

From the legs to the waist, then to the chest and neck...

In just a few seconds, a living person was reduced to a pale skeleton, lying helplessly on the ground.

"Click..."

The sound of bones shattering, like a death knell, struck the hearts of everyone.

"How terrifying!!"

Ran Ruhua's face was deathly pale, and her voice was trembling.

This black mist can literally devour people alive!

"not good!!"

The frozen domain that Su Daji had painstakingly maintained was now being rapidly disintegrated by the black mist.

The ice was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, as if it could shatter at any moment.

"Master...I...I can't hold on much longer..."

Left with no other choice, Su Daji had to ask Lu Chen for help.

"Rain of Light Swords, rain it down!!"

Seeing this, Lu Chen had no choice but to give up attacking the cauldron wall. He flashed back to the sky above Canglong and the others.

He pressed his hands down, and the phantom of a twelve-winged angel behind him shone brightly!

In an instant, countless holy swords formed from the power of pure light...

Like a torrential downpour, it fell from the sky and struck the approaching black mist with pinpoint accuracy!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

Light and darkness collided violently, producing a deafening explosion!

The holy power of light, like a purifying fire, cleansed the approaching black mist piece by piece, clearing out a relatively safe area.

When Chen Xiaofeng saw the pale skeleton of her companion on the ground, she gritted her teeth, trembled, reached out, picked up the skeleton, and put it aside.

Her eyes glistened with tears, but she forced herself not to cry out.

"Get out of here!"

Seeing that there was more room to move around, Hua Zhanyue finally couldn't hold back and kicked Liu Yanyan, who was still clinging to his leg, aside.

At the same time, his longsword never stopped, and the sharp sword energy kept slashing at the black mist that was trying to reassemble, fighting against the invisible death.

Lu Chen stared at the black mist continuously pouring out from the cracks in the cauldron's walls, his face extremely grim.

This black mist is too troublesome, and it cannot be eliminated all at once.

"Open the Holy Land of Light for me!!!"

Lu Chen roared, unleashing the immense power of light within his body without reservation!

Behind him, the ten-zhang-tall phantom of a twelve-winged angel suddenly solidified, its twelve wings folding forward to form a massive protective barrier.

It enveloped Canglong and the others below.

"Hiss—!!!"

The black mist crashed against the barrier of the Holy Light Domain, producing a piercing sound. Large amounts of white smoke rose up, and the black mist was scorched by the holy light, unable to advance an inch.

"Huff... huff..."

Lu Chen was panting heavily, sweat pouring down his forehead.

This was his most embarrassing moment.

The continuous high-intensity output, coupled with the enormous consumption of maintaining the Holy Land of Light, made him feel a bit tired.

"Husband, let's...let's try combining our powers too..."

Zhu Qingqing sent a telepathic message to Lu Chen, filled with anticipation.

Both of her older sisters were able to get along well with their husband, and she wanted to too!

She didn't want to be just an observer forever!

Moreover, with the ability to revive, it's okay if you fail; you can just try again!

"good!!"

Lu Chen did not hesitate. There was no other way at the moment, so he had to fight to the death!

He landed and returned to the crowd.

But he still took precautions as a last resort.

He took out the two special jade talismans given to him by the God of War and the Sage of Literature, solemnly handed them to Xuanyuan Tai, and instructed:

"If I fail, and the Holy Land of Light disappears, immediately crush the jade talisman and summon Lord Martial God and the others to save us!!"

"I understand, Uncle!!"

Xuanyuan Tai accepted the jade talisman with both hands, as if receiving a tremendous burden. He nodded heavily, his eyes filled with solemnity.
