Palm Seal and Sword Technique
The powerful members of the Dao Palace and the Demon Race were most terrified. Almost the instant Coffin Master unleashed his transcendent magical energy, they produced a series of talismans.
"Whoosh!"
The talisman transformed into a meteor shower of light, passing through the fissure in the ground above Dragon City. In less than three breaths, it flew to the East Sea and fell into the hands of the extraordinary forces of various powers.
"If Chao Ran doesn't arrive soon, a large number of the Dao Palace will likely be slaughtered today."
From the Yu Zhenyan, a Formation Disk several miles in diameter flew out.
The Formation Disk transformed into a circular sea of light, enveloping her and the other Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator from the Dao Palace, preparing them for a desperate battle against the Transcendent Ones.
She didn't know why Chaoran killed the Hall Master of the Ku Rong Hall and Yang Shen Realm, but since he had taken action against the Rice Cult, every Rice Cult member was now in extreme danger.
Beneath the phoenix tree mirage, Kirin Zhuang frowned deeply, staring at the stone coffin that had suddenly appeared.
This turn of events was beyond his expectations.
"Let's do it!"
A dozen or so powerful figures from Dragon Gate, Night City, and the Three Islands charged toward the Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator of the Lingxiao Shengjing Human Race, who were completely unaware of the formation.
Kirin Zhuang turned around and looked at the Life Spring at the bottom of the pit and the almost realistic phoenix tree mirage above.
"Boom!"
He placed one foot on the ground.
Suddenly, a crack appeared around the giant crater, growing wider and wider.
The entire giant pit, the Life Spring, and the phoenix tree mirage detached from the earth, enveloped by his magical energy, and flew towards the ancestral field.
The stone coffin flew up.
The Ancient Hidden Lord rushed forward and looked at the dent that had been created by the stone coffin.
Yang Shen Realm's blood was splattered all over the soil.
But they only found the robe and the scarecrow inside it; no bones were found.
"Yang Shen Realm actually possesses such a life-saving item as the substitute straw puppet. I'll go after him!" said the Ancient Hidden Lord.
Something's not right...
The stone coffin lid faced the colorful phoenix tree, and from inside came the solemn and uneasy voice of the Coffin Master.
The Coffin Master sensed an unusual aura and then roared from inside the stone coffin, "Martial artists of the Lingxiao Shengjing, run! It's Kirin Zhuang, he's under the phoenix tree!"
After saying that, Coffin Master used his magical energy to sweep up the closest Ancient Hidden Lord, Li Minong, and Mo Hai Great Priest, and flew towards Li Weiyi and the others, immediately fleeing.
Beneath the phoenix tree mirage, not only the martial arts cultivators of the Lingxiao Shengjing Human Race, but even the Longevity Realm Giants of the Demon Race, the Dao Palace, and the Du'e Temple were all stunned.
How did Kirin Zhuang end up here?
After glancing at the area under the phoenix tree, where the dense, deathly aura obscured their vision, the martial artists immediately fled.
Whether it's true or false, this news is terrifying.
"Swish! Swish..."
The strongest warriors from Dragon Gate, Night City, and the Three Islands were the first to break free from the deathly aura.
They were full of imposing momentum and murderous intent, each choosing their prey.
"It is Yuwen Yan, the city lord of Night City!"
"It's Long Yi from Dragon Gate... Heavens! They actually arrived in Dragon City ahead of schedule! Kirin Zhuang must be here too! Run... Run quickly..."
More than a dozen figures emerged from beneath the phoenix tree's mirage, each a formidable Lingxiao Shengjing for centuries; none of them were weak.
"Don't run away! Venerable Zang needs blood and vital energy; you are all his food."
Yuwen Yan unleashed two chains formed from condensed scriptures, binding the two Lingxiao human race's Longevity Realm Giants and pulling them toward him.
"How could a place like Dragon City be without danger? If it isn't, then it must have been cleared out beforehand!"
Long Yi moved with uncanny speed, weaving through the fleeing crowd and sending figures flying back towards the direction of the Phoenix Tree Mirage.
"Boom!"
The ground shook violently.
The Life Spring, the Phoenix Tree Mirage, and the sunken land were all taken into the ancestral fields by Kirin Zhuang.
The phoenix tree disappeared, plunging the entire world into darkness, devoid of light.
Kirin Zhuang strode out and gazed at the stone coffin that had already fled a hundred miles away. "Interesting. What's its origin?"
He stretched out a hand, and instantly, the phantom of the arm stretched for hundreds of miles above the ruins of Dragon City, crossing the void, and condensed into a large, illusory hand above the stone coffin.
"Boom!"
The illusory giant hand descended, directly knocking the stone coffin, which was flying in mid-air, crashing into the city.
A giant handprint, hundreds of meters long, appeared on the ground, raising clouds of dust.
At the center of the large handprint-shaped depression, a Yin Banner supports a cloud of blood-red mist.
At the top of the Yin Banner are nine skulls with eyes inlaid with rubies. Each skull holds a white banner in its mouth, and the nine banners are covered with mysterious scriptures.
The skull and white banner transformed into nine giant skulls amidst the blood-red mist.
As the illusory handprint descended, the Yin Banner and the nine skeletons protected Li Weiyi, Yu'er, Hidden Lord, Yao Qingxuan, and the three great masters of the Jiu Li Tribe.
Li Minong and the Mo Hai Great Priest stood in the blood mist, looking at the nine giant skeletons that supported the heavens and the earth, and hearing the ancient Li clan secrets in their ears.
They were completely stunned, tears welling in their eyes, and they stammered, "Nine Emperors... Banner..."
A clan-protecting artifact, lost for a thousand years, has reappeared in the world.
The two elders' gazes fell upon the stone coffin with the crack in the center. Completely disregarding life and death, their legs went weak, and they knelt down, immediately understanding who was inside the coffin.
The entire Jiu Li Tribe had been waiting for this for a thousand years.
The leader is finally back!
"The Jiu Li Tribe Emperor Supreme Magic Tool of the Nine Emperor Banner. Interesting, very interesting!"
Kirin Zhuang vanished from his spot, rushing like a meteor towards the Nine Emperor Banner and the stone coffin a hundred miles away.
"Kirin Zhuang!"
A cold shout rang out above the ruins of Dragon City.
A dazzling burst of light enveloped an aged figure as it descended from the fissure in the earth above.
Zuoqiu Ran, the Old Ancestor of the Zuoqiu Courtyard of Confucianism and Daoism, was the first to arrive. He threw out eight array diagrams in succession, which transformed into eight array formations in an attempt to block Kirin Zhuang.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Kirin Zhuang's ferocity was unparalleled; it pierced through eight great formations as easily as paper, and then struck the ninth formation with a single claw.
The ninth formation was derived from a page of the "Book of Earth." The formation and the Sea of Characters combined, colliding with Kirin Zhuang's claw mark, creating ripples.
Zuoqiu Ran stood behind Sea of Characters, unleashing her inner light with all her might; her body shone several times brighter than the blazing sun.
But he couldn't stop it at all, and could only watch helplessly as Kirin Zhuang's claws pierced through the formation inch by inch, heading towards his heart.
All the Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator in the ruins of Dragon City were forced to prostrate on the ground by the spiritual light and magical energy emanating from the two. The Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator fared slightly better, but they still desperately fled into the distance.
"You? Zuoqiu Xuanming would have to give way to me if he came here."
Kirin Zhuang pierced through the array with a single claw.
What greeted his claw marks was not Zuoqiu Ran's heart, but the palm of the Old Ancestor Zhu Men.
The Old Ancestor Zhu Men arrived just in time.
"Boom!"
Zuoqiu Ran unleashed his palm strike with runes, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Old Ancestor Zhu Men, together confronting Kirin Zhuang.
Moments later, the two were sent flying backward, crashing into countless ancient buildings and falling dozens of miles away.
"Aww!"
Kirin Zhuang's cultivation stood at the very pinnacle of transcendence, his aura vast and unparalleled. With a roar, he resounded throughout the underground space, like an invincible war god, killing gods and Buddhas alike in his path.
The Lei Xiao Sect Master descended to the underground space on the upper level. He glanced down through the collapsed hole at the ruins of Dragon City and the suspended Kirin Zhuang. Seeing Kirin Zhuang's piercing gaze looking up at him, he turned and fled.
Both the Demon Race and the Dao Palace had extraordinary abilities to reach the underground, but neither of them dared to provoke this peerless and ferocious god, knowing the weight of the three words "Kirin Zhuang".
Kirin Zhuang looked at the Nine Emperor Banner, which was fixed in place by his will and magical energy, and reached out with one claw, sending out five River of Mana Qi, trying to collect it.
"Even if it means death, we must protect the Nine Emperor Banner."
Li Minong, the Mo Hai Great Priest, and the Ancient Hidden Lord went all out, releasing their magical energy and spiritual light into the Nine Emperor Banner. But it was like an ant trying to shake a tree; they were no match for Kirin Zhuang.
Deathly mist billowed from the stone coffin.
A hand reached out from the coffin and grasped the pole of the Nine Emperor Banner.
Li Weiyi knew that at this moment, there was no other choice but to flee to the Tanggu Sea.
The power of thought from between his brows flowed continuously into the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, resisting the Spatial Power here and trying to pull everyone into the Blood Mud Space.
However, the suppressive force of the underground space was too strong, and even with bloodshot eyes, he was unable to activate the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish.
Beside him, Yu'er looked at him with great concern, biting her lip tightly, almost crying.
"It was a dead person!"
Kirin Zhuang sensed that more and more transcendent beings were arriving and decided to finish the battle quickly. He swooped down, spread his five fingers, and was about to kill everyone under the Nine Emperor Banner with one palm, including the corpse in the coffin.
Even from a great distance, the blood mist released by the Nine Emperor Banner was completely dispersed by the palm wind.
The three top experts of the Jiu Li Tribe who were blocking Li Weiyi, Yu'er, Hidden Lord, and Yao Qingxuan had their skin explode instantly and were thrown out in all directions, their fates unknown.
Just when everyone thought that the Jiu Li Tribe members were about to be wiped out by Kirin Zhuang with a single palm strike, and that he would then seize the Supreme Magic Tool...
An unusual aura erupted in that area.
Yu'er's pitiful, half-crying appearance instantly turned solemn, as if a certain soul within her had been awakened. Then, her eyes sharpened to the extreme, and she formed a palm print with her right hand, striking out with a palm.
The palm strike was incredibly powerful, seemingly pushing the heavens and earth along with it.
A square Sky-Flipping Divine Seal solidified as she struck out with her palm. It was as large as a mountain, with characters engraved on its base, and possessed boundless power.
It is not formed from the condensation of magical energy, but rather from the Heavenly Dao Mana Fusion.
The scene appears because it conforms to some wondrous laws of the universe.
"Boom!"
Two palm prints, one above the other, collided.
The Sky-Flipping Divine Seal and her palm strikes acted like an umbrella, shielding Li Weiyi and the others behind her from the power of Kirin Zhuang.
The massive figure above, clad in golden armor, contrasted sharply with Yu'er's petite and delicate body below.
But Yu'er stood still and took the blow from Kirin Zhuang's palm.
The entire ruins of Dragon City fell into complete silence at this moment, with countless eyes fixed on the scene.
Zuoqiu Ran and the Old Ancestor Zhu Men, who were rushing towards this direction at top speed, were both stunned. With their keen senses, they exchanged a glance, each conveying three words to the other— Yu Yaozi.
"Bang!"
Kirin Zhuang was sent flying backwards, landing several miles away before quickly regaining his footing.
With a gentle flick of Yu'er fingertips, Yu'er sent the Yellow Dragon Sword flying out of Li Weiyi's hand with a clang. In an instant, it traversed several miles, unleashing a powerful strike that seemed to cleave the sea from above.
"Splash!"
This move, Taiyi Opens the Sea, once again triggered the fusion of the Heavenly Dao Mana Fusion, and the entire ruins of Dragon City were submerged by the light and shadow of the vast sea.
The waves surged and the ocean split in two.
Kirin Zhuang was slashed back dozens of miles by a single sword strike. He had never seen such a move before, nor had he ever seen anyone unleash such power with just their physical body. Before Zen Sea Observing Mist used the "Sixteen-Foot Golden Body" Immortal Technique, his physical strength was not this strong.
He stared at the small figure approaching with a sword drawn from the dust, and roared, "Who are you?"
