A trace of joy flashed in Yuan Ming's eyes; the effect of the Primordial Dao Seal was much better than he had anticipated.

As he controlled the Primordial Dao Seal to absorb the raging flames, he continued to ascend the steps, and his speed was almost completely unaffected.

Although Sima Changqin and Wu Yu also blocked the surging flames, they were obviously not as relaxed and free as Yuan Ming.

They watched Yuan Ming's figure steadily advancing in the sea of fire, their eyes involuntarily revealing a hint of surprise.

The vast fire rain only lasted for a moment before disappearing without a trace, yet the sky did not calm down because of it.

The next moment, thunder suddenly appeared, and huge bolts of lightning struck down, seemingly trying to shatter the entire altar into pieces.

However, facing this thunderous power, Yuan Ming repeated his trick.

He activated the Primordial Dao Seal to absorb the falling lightning one by one.

In the following moments, various attacks continued to fall from the air, whether they were Five Elements Techniques or Yin Yang Power.

However, no matter what kind of attack it was, Yuan Ming shredded and refined them all with the Primordial Dao Seal, absorbing them completely.

His speed was almost completely unaffected, and he never paused.

Compared to other Dharma manifestation Cultivators, Yuan Ming's response method was undoubtedly the most relaxed.

The others had to frequently switch methods to respond, and while they managed when encountering compatible attributes, they often had to lag behind for a moment to find a way to break through when encountering difficult ones.

Although Sima Changqin and Wu Yu possessed high cultivation skills and numerous treasures, under the continuous onslaught, they also had to devote most of their energy to defense, thus gradually being left behind by Yuan Ming.

Gradually, the differences among the Dharma Phase Cultivators became apparent.

Yuan Ming took the lead, ahead of the others, with Wu Yu and Sima Changqin close behind.

Behind them was the Black Demon, who was always shrouded in a black robe and had never revealed his true face.

Further behind were the Five Great Demon Kings of the Ten Thousand Demon Country, Master Tantai, Long Hou, and others.

As for cultivators like Long Yinkong, Long Yuhuan, Jin Chen, and Yang Fan, who were at the bottom in terms of strength, they had already been left far behind.

At this moment, the clouds in the sky rolled again, as if brewing an even more terrifying power.

Suddenly, numerous blue rain arrows as thick as fists fell from the sky, dense and swift, as if to drown the entire altar.

However, Yuan Ming was not afraid at all, activating the Primordial Dao Seal to refine the incoming rain arrows while accelerating his pace once more.

On the steps below, Master Tantai was fully focused on casting spells to resist the rain arrows pouring down from overhead. He suddenly looked up, with a calm light flashing in his eyes, and lightly pointed his finger at his brow.

In an instant, a beam of ghostly blue light shot up from the top of his head, gradually condensing into a towering Dharma Form.

This Dharma Form emitted a profound blue light all over, with a smooth face like a sphere, and its features were blurred and indistinguishable, except for the starry outline of its brows and eyes, appearing mysterious and solemn.

Starry light sparkled on the robust right arm of the Dharma Form, seemingly containing endless power. It waved in mid-air and pressed into the void in Yuan Ming's direction.

Yuan Ming suddenly felt a shadow of darkness descending overhead. Looking up, he saw the deep blue nebula covering the entire sky, with hundreds of azure starlights falling from the nebula like meteors, carrying cyan tails in a fierce assault.

"Starry Sky Daluo Dharma Form! Master Tantai, to think, you are the first to act." Faced with this scene, Yuan Ming showed no sign of panic, instead calmly forming a seal with his fingers.

The seven-colored vortex above his head suddenly expanded several times, like a giant whirlwind, attempting to crush and refine all those azure starlights.

However, at this moment, the starlights suddenly exploded like brilliant fireworks, and each starlight bloomed with a deafening thunderous roar, in the midst of the ear-splitting crashes, the seven-colored vortex was shattered to pieces.

Master Tantai once again formed a seal with his fingers, and the scattered starlights in the air regrouped, transforming into slender chains of starlight that firmly bound Yuan Ming's hands and feet.

At the same time, beside Master Tantai, Long Hou clasped his palms together, a dragon's roar resounding through the sky, and a golden Dharma Form with two horns, half-human and half-dragon, suddenly appeared behind him.

The golden Dharma Form slightly opened its mouth, and endless golden light surged and rolled within it, the next moment transforming into a thick golden pillar, rushing straight towards Yuan Ming's legs with overwhelming momentum.

The scorching aura emitted by the golden pillar was suffocating, distorting the void wherever it passed, its temperature no less than the previous giant fireball.

Master Tantai and Long Hou's attacks were exceptionally coordinated; one locked Yuan Ming's movement, while the other launched a fierce attack with overwhelming breath.

Their objective was clear: even though Yuan Ming possessed an Undying Body and could not be completely killed, as long as they temporarily destroyed his legs, preventing him from reaching the stairs, he would be deemed out of competition.

The sudden attack from these two startled Jin Chen and the group of demons from Ten Thousand Demon Country, each of them on guard, fearing they would be affected.

Yuan Ming's expression also became serious as he quickly withdrew the Qi-Blood clone from the Stealing Heaven Tripod, and forcefully stretched his arms outward.

The terrifying immense power of the Undying Body burst forth at this moment. With a crisp "crack," the starry chains on his body snapped and scattered into stardust drifting in the air.

Before he could counter the dragon breath attack of Long Hou, the starlight on his arms flickered once more, and new starry chains formed, continuing to bind his body.

"As long as the starlight remains, the chains never cease. Master Tantai is indeed worthy of his reputation. As a peak Mid-stage Dharma manifestation existence, his Divine Skills are not as simple as they appear," Yuan Ming silently marveled.

In that fleeting moment of delay, Long Hou's breath had already reached Yuan Ming, leaving him with no time to react.

Just when everyone thought Yuan Ming was cornered, an unexpected change occurred.

Yuan Ming suddenly took a deep breath, as if drawing in the entire atmosphere. In an instant, fierce winds howled, and the air in front of him was drained by an invisible force, forming a temporary vacuum zone.

"Roar!"

Immediately, Yuan Ming opened his mouth and let out a thunderous roar.

This roar exploded like a lightning-bolt from the Nine Heavens, echoing in the vast void, inducing fear and awe.

At the same time, a fierce gale accompanied his shout, gushing out from his mouth, confronting the incoming golden light pillar.

"Boom"

A deafening explosion resonated in the area, as if the entire world quaked at that moment.

The golden light pillar shattered instantly under the intense impact of the gale, turning into countless golden fragments scattering in the air.

The raging winds swept across, even causing the Returning to Void Cultivators below the steps to stagger and falter, unable to stand firm.

The Dharma manifestation Cultivators on the steps, being closer, although they timely cast spells for defense, a few of the lesser Cultivated Dharma Phase Cultivators were pushed back several steps by the shockwave, nearly falling from the stairs.

At this critical juncture, Yuan Ming's arms exerted force again, shattering the starry chains binding him.

Then he quickly cast a spell with one hand, and the familiar seven-colored vortex reappeared above his head.

Without waiting for the scattered starlight to reform into chains, he absorbed all the nearby starlight into the vortex.

As gray-white light emanated from Yuan Ming's body, a majestic Dharma manifestation emerged out of thin air, its fists carrying world-destroying power, striking downward at Master Tantai and Long Hou.

However, just as the strike was about to land, several black spirit lights suddenly lit up around Yuan Ming.

Within these spirit lights, three black masks appeared, floating in the air, their eyes hauntingly lifelike, as if they held a life of their own.

With detailed irises, pupils, and blood streaks, being stared at by them induced a creepy sensation.

As these six eyes gazed, six black concentric rings appeared out of nowhere, quickly enveloping Yuan Ming's body.

These concentric circles were imbued with an eerie Power of Dao, containing the sealing magic similar to Xi He Palace's seven-level formation.

Under the influence of this strange power, Yuan Ming's body suddenly could not move, and even his newly formed Dharma manifestation seemed immobilized, frozen in mid-air.

His gaze swept down the steps below, he saw Tie Xuan, Shen Xiu, and that tall, big black Demon wrapped entirely in a black robe had gathered together.

Each of their faces was adorned with the same black mask as those around Yuan Ming, the masks' eyes flickering with a cold, penetrating light, as if seeing through one's soul.

"It seems that Master Tantai and Long Hou's actions were mere distractions; the joint assault of these three black Demons is the true lethal strike," Xi Ying's voice came from within the Stealing Heaven Tripod, tinged with a hint of gravity.

Confronted with this sudden turn of events, Yuan Ming did not display a trace of panic.

He took a deep breath, and activated half of the Dao Seal in his Dantian. Instantly, a powerful surge of Dao force erupted, ramming into the black concentric circles.

Rumble!

A loud noise was heard as the six black concentric circles trembled violently under Yuan Ming's Dao force assault, nearly dispersing.

Simultaneously, the twin glowing eyes on the three black masks dimmed significantly, leaking six lines of blood.

Affected by this backlash, the bodies of the three black Demons also trembled violently. They simultaneously let out a subdued grunt, evidently impacted by the backlash.

"This person is just Early-stage Dharma manifestation, how can he possess such formidable Dao power? Quickly use the Holy Sacrifice Technique to activate the Six Extremes Mask!" The tall, big black Demon barely steadied himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He swiftly formed a hand seal in front of him, and a black light surged behind him, promptly revealing a tall and eerie black Dharma manifestation.

This Dharma manifestation took a humanoid shape, yet was entwined by two sinister black giant pythons, as if it were a sinister deity from the Nine Netherworld, instilling a profound sense of unease.

"This is..." Wu Yu observed this Dharma manifestation, seemingly recalling something, causing his expression to subtly change.
