The Battle of the Half-Immortals!

The Baxia clan chief demanded a higher price, infuriating the Jin clan chief.

But considering how exciting this battle was, the vivid description of it would probably require the skill of a storyteller.

"Okay, but you can't raise the price again!"

Chief Jin glared at and threatened Chief Baxia, as if to say, "Do you really think our Qiongqi clan is easy to bully?"

After paying the money, Chief Jin felt increasingly distressed.

"How about we find some time to learn storytelling?"

If he could tell stories, would he have paid this money unnecessarily?

Zhu Tian tried to spring up from the ground with a somersault, but Jiang Lianyi wouldn't give him the chance. She leaped down from the altar and kicked Zhu Tian in the pit, a kick that almost made him vomit his intestines out.

"Cough--"

Zhu Tian was pinned to the ground by Jiang Lianyi and could not get up after several attempts, which enraged him.

"I only let you have a couple of moves, and you really think you're something special!"

Zhu Tian hadn't expected Jiang Lianyi to be so difficult to deal with. Judging from the Phoenix Clan's reaction, they were unaware of Jiang Lianyi's existence. This meant that Jiang Lianyi had likely only recently awakened. If that was the case, then it would be a long time before Jiang Lianyi recovered to her peak condition.

However, once they engaged in combat, he discovered that Jiang Lianyi was in High Antiquity prime, showing no signs of weakness, which led to him suffering a great loss.

Damn, how is this possible?

He roared, transformed into his original form, increased in size, and sent Jiang Lianyi flying.

Jiang Lianyi took two consecutive steps into the air, stabilizing herself in mid-air without any disturbance. With a flick of her arms, she transformed into a five-colored phoenix.

The phoenix spreads its wings and soars high, its entire body covered in colorful feathers. Sunlight shines through the feathers, illuminating the earth and transforming into a five-colored glow.

When the minor cultivator with hidden injuries was bathed in the five-colored light, his injuries gradually disappeared.

The Demon Race's strongest state is fighting in their original form. The two half-immortals returned to their original forms and no longer held back, launching a fierce attack!

Zhu Tian kicked over the meticulously crafted white jade altar, which was both an altar and a Law Treasure!

A nine-tiered altar made of glazed white jade, hundreds of meters tall, was hurled at Jiang Lianyi. Jiang Lianyi caught the altar with her wings, neutralized the force, and then coated it with a layer of lightning before throwing it back.

Zhu Tian opened his mouth and released an invisible sound wave, which froze the Altar of Heaven. Under the attack of the sound wave, the Altar of Heaven shook slightly but violently, and was thrown towards Jiang Lianyi again.

If Jiang Lianyi dares to approach the Temple of Heaven in the same way as before, the Temple of Heaven, along with the lightning, will explode!

Jiang Lianyi had long seen through Zhu Tian's little scheme and ordered the space to seal off the Temple of Heaven.

"Here you go."

The Altar of Heaven was treated like a toy by the two demigods, tossed around. Only the cultivators watching the battle knew that the Altar of Heaven had changed hands several times and contained layers of attacks. If it were to explode, even veteran cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence stage would likely be seriously injured.

Finally, the Temple of Heaven could not withstand the relentless attacks and exploded between the two.

Two half-immortals and six great demons at the Tribulation Transcendence stage clashed in four battles that dazzled the audience, who wished they had more eyes to watch.

There were quite a few Body Integration Realm present. While they could roughly understand battles at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, they truly couldn't comprehend battles at the Half-Immortal level.

However, this did not stop them from unanimously choosing to watch the battle between half-immortals.

The spiritual energy within a thousand miles was drained, and the area was controlled by two half-immortal demons.

The two demons fought from the sky to the ground and back again, leaving a trail of destruction and devastation in their wake. The six powerful demons at the Tribulation Transcendence stage who were engaged in the battle tried to stay away from the fight, fearing that they would be caught in the crossfire.

The sky was ablaze with color, displaying a variety of wondrous phenomena: celestial maidens scattering flowers, phoenixes arriving in reverence, and phoenixes sprouting from the phoenix tree...

Then came lightning and thunder, and two enormous shadows battled behind the thunderclouds, only catching a fleeting glimpse of the two demons when lightning struck.

Zhu Tian danced gracefully, like a pig with wings, and a chilling song accompanied the dance.

"Don't say autumn is a good year because of a bountiful harvest; afterwards, people will be beheaded..."

As if sensing something, Jiang Lianyi flapped her phoenix wings and flew sideways. An imperceptible blade grazed the edge, severing several phoenix feathers.

"The Song of Autumn in the Song of the Four Seasons?"

Jiang Lianyi was proficient in music, and her soft singing carried a similarly murderous intent.

Two distinct melodies resounded through the sky, transforming into visible ripples that stirred the air, creating a murderous intent ambush from all sides!

Suddenly, a torrential downpour began, the raindrops pattering and splashing on the ground.

"Huh? It's not rain, it's... seeds?"

Lu Yang picked up a seed from the ground, but couldn't identify its origin.

"These are seeds of the Dragon-Locking Vine; they shouldn't exist in your time."

"Dragon-locking vine?"

"As the name suggests, this thing once bound Ao Ling."

Lu Yang remembered that the Immortal Fairy had said that Jiang Lianyi and Ao Ling were roughly equal in strength, with a 40/60 chance of winning for Jiang Lianyi and a 60/60 chance for Ao Ling.

The Dragon-Locking Vine took root and sprouted, growing stronger and stronger. In an instant, the entire demon city was covered with Dragon-Locking Vine, like countless hands reaching towards the sky, which was somewhat eerie.

The Dragon-Locking Vine grew rapidly, then suddenly bent, encircling and wrapping around Zhu Tian. Zhu Tian flapped his four wings, which resembled four heavenly blades, capable of splitting heaven and earth in two, and were invincible.

This time was no different; the four wings unleashed four sword energies, slicing the Dragon-Locking Vine to pieces.

But then Zhu Tian noticed something strange: a fierce flame was burning at the broken end of the Dragon-Locking Vine, as if the middle of the vine had been hollowed out and filled with flames.

"Oh no, this is the Nirvana Fire!"

The Dragon-Locking Vine regrown, and Zhu Tian continued to flap his wings to cut it off, but no matter how many he cut off, the Dragon-Locking Vine would grow back endlessly.

The Immortal Fairy explained to Lu Yang, "The Dragon-Locking Vine is a celestial vine specially cultivated by Lianyi. It was roasted with Nirvana True Fire, allowing a wisp of flame to merge into the seed. Once it takes root and sprouts using the Tree Planting Technique, the Dragon-Locking Vine will become a celestial vine that grows forever under the blessing of Nirvana True Fire."

"Under the control of the nascent Dao Fruit, the Dragon-Locking Vine will move according to Lianyi's will, making it flexible, unpredictable, and impossible to defend against."

"Xiao Ling didn't expect this move that time, and was caught off guard, ending up tied up very tightly."

Zhu Tian was also bound by the Dragon-Locking Vine, its six wings wrapping him up like a rice dumpling wrapper.

He was unwilling to be tied up like this, and shouted angrily.

"Follow the laws of heaven and earth!"

He used the Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique to transform into a colossal beast, its muscles bulging, attempting to break free with brute force. Seeing that it couldn't break free after growing larger, it transformed back into human form and squeezed out through the gaps in the Dragon-Locking Vine.

Under Jiang Lianyi's control, the Dragon-Locking Vine could change size at will, binding Zhu Tian tightly no matter what form he took, preventing him from breaking free.

"You forced me to do this!"

Zhu Tianchen's eyes widened in fury, and he opened his mouth wide, spewing out countless High Antiquity ghosts to form an army of the dead.

High Antiquity ghosts took on various forms, including humans, demons, and spirits. These were the losers of the High Antiquity war, devoured by Zhu Tian and refined using the power of a nascent Dao Fruit.

"The legendary ghostly army passed through, and all demons fled in terror!"

A powerful demon at the Tribulation Transcendence stage was horrified. This was a famous High Antiquity legend: when the Yin army passed through, the land was scorched and barren, and even planets were left to decay. This was a taboo for the Demon Race and was often used to frighten children.

It turns out that the origin of this legend is the Supreme Being of Heaven!

Lu Yang found this move strangely familiar.

"It looks familiar, that's why. The tiger clan learned this move and modified it into the method of 'serving the tiger,' which is the origin of the 'serving the tiger's accomplice'," the Immortal Fairy said casually.

Jiang Lianyi exhaled a ball of flame, the temperature of which was even higher than that of the sun. This was the origin of the Nirvana True Fire!

She bit her tongue, and the phoenix Essence Blood onto the Nirvana True Fire. The Nirvana True Fire actually emitted a phoenix cry and transformed into a phoenix that was exactly like herself.

This is the true phoenix rising from the ashes!

The Nirvana Fire, supremely strong and yang, is the most effective counter to ghosts and demons!

The second update will be at 11 PM.
