Seeing the incoming attack, Xuan Hao causally waved his hand as his domain swept out and formed a massive ice barrier in front of him-

Bang!

Blocking the attack of the remnant consciousness before it even had a chance to reach him!

Rumble~! 

However, before he had a chance to counterattack, the large pillars holding up the temple started collapsing before transforming into large stone chains that hovered in the air as several intangible golden inscriptions appeared all over them. Even without personally inspecting the large stone chains with his divine sense, Xuan Hao could still feel a sense of danger from them that far exceeded the danger he had felt from any attack done by the remnant consciousness so far!

Whoosh!

Not planning to give him too long to try and analyze the large stone chains covered in golden inscriptions, the remnant consciousness divine sense spread out before covering the stone chains-

Swish-!

And not a second later, the newly formed stone chains all flew towards Xuan Hao, their presence alone sealing off the space around the entire temple. Making escape through spatial movement impossible!

"Looks like the remnant consciousness does indeed have a few things prepared…" Muttering this to himself, as he saw the stone chains covered in golden inscriptions flying towards him, Xuan Hao narrowed both of his eyes as he fully unleashed his domain without holding back.

RUMBLE-!

ραпdα- n૦νe|`c,0m As his Dao Domain clashed together with the stone chains, the chains changed their form of attack and instead of heading towards him, they curled around his domain before it had a chance to fully expand towards the large gem with the remnant consciousness located at the top of the temple. Forcibly restraining it from expanding any further and possibly threatening the remnant consciousness… But at the same time, this also resulted in the chains being unable to get any closer to Xuan Hao. Making the two sides enter a momentary standstill, as neither the dao domain nor the chains showed any signs of being stronger than the other.

These chains… They aren't made from some kind of special spiritual metal or stones, but actually still have the power to forcibly restrain my dao domain! Is it perhaps because of the golden inscriptions…?

Not feeling nervous about his current situation as he had already expected for the remnant consciousness to have a way to fight back against him even with its limited strength, Xuan Hao was instead more curious about the golden inscriptions that had allowed the chains made from rather ordinary stones to resist his dao domain.

After all, it had to be known, his current dao domain was more than strong enough to kill someone in the earlier stages of the Soul Ascension Realm. For a few chains made from ordinary stone to restrain it without showing any signs of budging… The power of these chains had to be far stronger than that of a Soul Ascension Realm Expert who had undergone the First or Second Tribulation.

What's more, after observing the stone chains more closely, Xuan Hao discovered that the golden inscriptions on them were already in a state of decay and weren't capable of showing off their true power. If not for this, Xuan Hao was certain that his dao domain would not have stood a chance against these stone chains!

But then again… This dao domain is far from the only form of attack I have!

Swish-!

Having finished observing the golden inscriptions on the stone chains, Xuan Hao pulled out the silver sword before directly using the sword attack, he had invented back at the border between the Sky Empire and the Frozen Wastelands, Descend of the Ice God's Sword!

BOOOOM-!

Not able to resist both the dao domain and the ice sword at the same time, the stone chains were directly forced back as the ice sword and dao domain combined together into a single attack heading directly towards the top of the temple where the large gem with the remnant consciousness was located. Knowing that the faster he managed to finish the battle, the less time there would be for the remnant consciousness to prepare another attack.

For example, he had already lost a good opportunity to attack when the pillars of the temple had collapsed and formed into large chains covered in golden inscriptions. If he hadn't been taken aback for a short moment back then, he might have had a chance to destroy the large gem and the remnant consciousness inside of it!

Whoosh-! 

However, just as he was about to reach the large gem where the remnant consciousness was residing, a phantom whose appearance was impossible to discern appeared in front of the large gem.

Swish-!

Casually waving its hand, the ice sword and dao domain that had been used to enhance the strength of the ice sword directly dispersed without any resistance, while at the same time causing Xuan Hao to freeze on the spot without being able to move a single muscle.

What is this!? Is this the power of someone who surpassed the Soul Ascension Realm and overcame the Immortal Soul Tribulation…

Already feeling shocked after seeing how his attack had been dealt with, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a sense of powerlessness that he had never felt after losing control of his body.

At this point in time, he realized that the existence in front of him was not an existence in the Soul Ascension Realm, but instead someone who had surpassed the Soul Ascension Realm!

Even if it was just a small remnant consciousness left behind by this expert, he was still completely powerless to resist after the remnant consciousness had awoken…

"You, you are the one who awoke me? Hm? This is… Why is there a Dao Domain Lord in this fragment!?"

Hearing the phantom floating in front of the large gem suddenly talking, Xuan Hao could not help feeling a shiver run down his spine after hearing it mention the fact that he was a Dao Domain Lord. So far, other than some information he had acquired through the system, this was the first time he had ever heard anyone mention the Dao Domain Lord Realm. Making it even more obvious that the phantom floating in front of him was not someone from the current era.

"Oh? Don't want to answer me? Oh well, I should be able to recover part of my true soul by absorbing your dao domain!" 

Not caring about the thoughts running through Xuan Hao's head, the phantom casually waved its hand again-

Crack~!

Following which, Xuan Hao suddenly felt a terrifying force pressing down on him from all directions. Seeking to directly squash him to death.

Fwoosh-!

It was at this moment, as Xuan Hao was about to be crushed by the phantom, that the small phoenix imprint that had remained hidden without doing anything since the last time he had absorbed a phoenix feather lit up before a beautiful blue flame covered Xuan Hao's entire body. Preventing the terrifying force from crushing his body.

Seeing the feather imprint that had appeared between Xuan Hao's eyebrows, the phantom didn't even care about the fact that his power had been forced back. Instead, he was far more focused on feather imprint itself.

"This- T-the mark of that phoenix-!? No… This should be impossible! We clearly saw her dying back then! How is it possible for her to still be around!?" Screaming this in an unwilling tone filled with both fear and killing intent, the phantom that had seemed arrogant and above everything a short moment ago, was reduced to a terrified mess.

FWOOSH-!

Not caring about the reaction of the phantom, the blue flame that had engulfed Xuan hao and protected him, started expanding rapidly. Soon reaching the phantom-

BOOOM-!

As the flames got close to the phantom, it quickly recovered from its terrifying state before a terrifying power far above that of the Soul Ascension Realm erupted from it in an attempt to resist the blue flames.

Rumble-!

As the power of the phantom clashed with the blue flames, it instantly became obvious that it was no match for the blue flames. Instead, the power released by the phantom ended up serving as fuel for the blue flame. Making it stronger and stronger with each passing second before it managed to reach the phantom itself.

"Aaaaaah-! No! I don't want to die like this! I spent such a long time trying to recover! DAMN YOU-"

The moment that the flames started burning the phantom, the phantom let out an unwilling scream as it was soon reduced to nothing. Only leaving behind the large gem that it had once used to hide and recover inside of.

Whoosh-!

Following the death of the phantom, the blue flames quickly retreated back inside the feather imprint between Xuan Hao's brows before disappearing, like it had never appeared in the first place.

As for Xuan Hao, he could barely keep himself conscious. Fainting a few seconds after the blue flames disappeared.
