Martial Arts Domination: Start with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique-Chapter 711 - 494: The Gatekeeper, Howling Celestial Dog!

Chapter 711: Chapter 494: The Gatekeeper, Howling Celestial Dog!

A ripple of unease surged from the depths of the heart.

The ferocious grin of the Black Dog Demon froze, then quickly turned into a streak of black light, retreating in haste. His wary gaze swept the surroundings.

The other extraterritorial Great Luo individuals reacted similarly, retreating rapidly back into the Great Wall. The overwhelming momentum they had just formed dissipated in an instant, like smoke in the wind.

"What... returned?!"

The Black Dog Demon found nothing unusual, and turned his gaze toward Qin Zheng’s avatar, voicing his suspicion.

But Qin Zheng’s avatar remained silent. In that moment, his gaze pierced through the Primordial Cave Heaven and saw the figure looming outside it.

It was an immense, endlessly vast figure, like a colossal Great Realm, lazily sprawled in the void.

Though its details remained obscured, the sheer power radiating from the form was unmistakable.

Could this be the Primordial entity guarding the Primordial Cave Heaven?

The thought echoed in Qin Zheng’s avatar’s mind.

He hadn’t anticipated that the return of his true body would result in such a drastic and immediate elevation!

Feeling the many divine repositories in his Inner Heaven and Earth unlocking at a rapid pace, a faint smile curled at the corner of Qin Zheng’s avatar’s lips.

It seems the progress of his true body was greater than he had imagined!

As these thoughts flowed through his mind, the Black Dog Demon’s expression stiffened slightly. His gaze followed Qin Zheng’s avatar’s line of sight, and a realization dawned upon him.

"You... can see it?"

The Black Dog Demon raised an eyebrow, seemingly startled. Then, a sinister grin reappeared on his face as he continued, "If you understand the disparity, stop making futile attempts to resist."

"This realm of yours has been sealed off for millions of years. Surely by now, you’ve forgotten the true grandeur of the Mixed Element Level. Before such a realm, Great Luo is no different from ants!"

At these words, all the Great Luo in the Primordial Cave Heaven turned pale, their hearts gripped by overwhelming despair.

While they had long suspected that the entity beyond the Primordial Cave Heaven was a terrifying Mixed Element Level existence, they clung to a sliver of hope that it might not be true.

Now that suspicion had been confirmed, their final vestiges of hope were utterly shattered.

Their spirits plunged into an abyss of despair, the kind from which there was no escape, as hopelessness swept through their hearts.

In that moment, a glint flickered in the Black Dog Demon’s eyes. Threads of incredibly pure Pollution Qi began emanating from him and the other extraterritorial Great Luo, surging toward the Great Luo of the Primordial Cave Heaven.

Yet, before the Pollution Qi could traverse the fissure between them, it was abruptly shattered by a spear of black gold that struck like lightning, blocking its path.

The shattered Pollution Qi didn’t dissipate. Instead, it reformed and flowed back into the extraterritorial Great Luo from which it came.

"You may be able to stop us, but can you stop the one outside?"

Cold light gleamed in the eyes of the Black Dog Demon as he stared contemptuously at the figure clad in a black robe with silver patterns, mocking with disdain.

Qin Zheng’s avatar remained silent. In the next moment, a ripple spread through the void, and a figure clad in a Gold-Patterned Profound Robe stepped out with a single stride.

Two identical faces appeared simultaneously in the sight of the Black Dog Demon.

"An avatar?"

The Black Dog Demon’s brow furrowed.

While he grudgingly acknowledged that this human opponent had strength and techniques surpassing those of ordinary Great Luo Golden Number cultivators — and was even more powerful than himself — what difference did summoning an avatar make?

After all, an avatar at best would have strength comparable to the true body. How could it possibly contend with a Mixed Element Level powerhouse?

Unless... this was no mere avatar, but the true body itself, and also a Mixed Element Level being?

Such thoughts churned in the Black Dog Demon’s mind before he shook his head with a scornful chuckle.

The aura from the newly appeared figure was far too insufficient. At most, this individual had only recently attained the Great Luo Heavenly Number.

Mixed Element Level... ridiculous!

Just as he opened his mouth to mock again, he abruptly discovered he could no longer speak, as if his throat had been sealed.

But that wasn’t all!

As he tried to lift his hands to touch his throat, he realized that he couldn’t move them — in fact, his entire body was immobilized, completely suspended in the void.

How could this be possible?!

A wave of panic surged through his heart. When his eyes turned toward the figure in the Gold-Patterned Profound Robe, they filled entirely with terror.

At the same time, Qin Zheng looked at the avatar before him, his mind fully assimilating the memories of what had transpired during his absence.

"I’m late. My apologies."

Qin Zheng nodded slightly, his expression tinged with regret.

As he absorbed the avatar’s memories, he also empathized with the avatar’s emotions.

For the avatar, the most harrowing challenge in the upheaval of the past ten years wasn’t battling enemies. It was the helplessness of watching comrades succumb to the Pollution Qi, falling one by one into the path of obliteration.

While Qin Zheng himself could purify the Pollution Qi, the avatar lacked this ability, and the constant impotence had tormented the avatar’s soul profoundly.

The avatar shook his head gently. Lacking access to the true body’s memories, he couldn’t ascertain Qin Zheng’s current realm.

But standing face-to-face now, he couldn’t help but feel like a firefly dimly lit beneath a luminous full moon, his own insignificance starkly apparent.

He raised his head to look toward the figure looming outside the Primordial Cave Heaven, infinitely vast, and said slowly, "Can you handle this one?"

After all, this was a mighty Mixed Element Level entity, the source of terror for all the Great Luo within the Primordial Cave Heaven.

The two of them conversed calmly, as if they were old friends reunited after years apart. Yet their identical faces and similar bearing made the scene oddly striking.

Not far away, Qi Yanzong listened to their exchange, his heart racing uncontrollably.
