It should be known that the strongest member of the Cultivation Alliance is Long Panzi!
Long Panzi possessed extraordinary talent and was one of the founders of the Cultivation Alliance.
Under his leadership, the Cultivation Alliance continuously recruited cultivation elites from all walks of life and brought many cultivation kingdoms under its wing.
The Cultivation Alliance eventually came to rule the entire cultivation world, gaining the power to classify cultivation nations and allocate planets.
That's why Lu Fuzi in the Luotian Star Domain decided to personally intervene and stop Long Panzi, preventing him from directly joining the battle.
If Long Panzi joins, the Thunder Immortal Palace's experts have absolutely no chance of winning, and might even be completely annihilated in an instant.
After all, Long Panzi was a true Void Spirit stage cultivator. Even Lu Fuzi had to be wary of him, which was enough to show how terrifying the strength of the Cultivation Alliance was.
The four realms of emptiness are Kongnie, Void Spirit, Void Profound, and Void Tribulation.
The Void Tribulation Stage is further divided into the early stage, middle stage, late stage, late peak stage, Great Perfection stage, and beyond Great Perfection stage.
The empty, prison-like space was chillingly cold.
Long Panzi sat high on the throne made of unknown black iron. He wore a purple Daoist robe embroidered with countless stars, his eyes were slightly closed, and his fingertips tapped the armrest casually. Each tap was like a heavy hammer blow to Liu Mei's soul.
He was surrounded by a suffocating, Void Spirit pressure, an absolute domain far surpassing the second step, which tightly imprisoned this space, and no matter how Liu Mei struggled, she could not shake it in the slightest.
Liu Mei's body was pierced through her collarbone, shoulder blade, and even spine by thick black iron chains, with the other end of the chains deeply embedded in the surrounding void rock walls.
The ninth clone, once known for his aloof demeanor and unyielding spirit, is now emaciated, his long black hair disheveled and plastered to his blood-stained face.
His silver robes were already stained dark red with blood, hanging tattered on his body. Every slight breath was accompanied by excruciating pain.
"Ha, what a tough nut to crack."
As a cold voice suddenly rang out from the side, a streak of azure light flashed, and Azure Dragonzi, dressed in the robes of the Azure Dragon Sacred Sect, appeared before Liu Mei.
He was the strongest member of the Azure Dragon Sacred Sect, with unfathomable cultivation. At this moment, he was toying with a blue jade slip in his hand, staring at Liu Mei with a sinister look in his eyes, as if he were looking at prey that he could slaughter at will.
" Liu Mei, don't force me to take action."
Azure Dragonzi bent down, his icy gaze fixed on Liu Mei's lifeless eyes, and shouted sharply:
"I ask you, what treasures does that brat Luo Chuan possess? What is the origin of his world-destroying Ancient God bloodline? Quickly confess the truth, and perhaps I can grant you a quick death!"
Liu Mei slowly closed her eyes, blood droplets clinging to her long eyelashes. A faint, bleak smile played on her lips, which remained tightly pressed together, and she said nothing.
I'd rather die than tell.
This was her only obsession at that moment.
When Tianmozi was executed, she thought she had avenged her great grudge, but she never expected to be captured by the Cultivation Alliance in the blink of an eye.
She had long since disregarded life and death. Luo Chuan was her only master in this life, the one who had helped her rise from the Hengyue Sect and given her dignity and strength.
She absolutely could not allow her master to be in any danger, even if it cost her everything!
"Great! Excellent!"
Seeing her like this, Azure Dragonzi was instantly enraged. His eyes flashed with ferocity, and he suddenly raised his hand. A sharp blue palm print, carrying boundless rage, slammed into Liu Mei's crown!
"Pfft!"
The crisp sound of bones cracking was exceptionally clear in the deathly silent cage.
Liu Mei's body trembled violently, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her already weak spiritual aura dimmed even more, and her body fell backward like a kite with a broken string, suspended in mid-air by iron chains, convulsing violently.
"It seems that even the Saintess of Kunxu's avatar only has this much backbone."
Azure Dragonzi snorted coldly, but did not stop. Instead, he flashed and reappeared in front of Liu Mei, gathering terrifying spiritual power at his fingertips and striking the various acupoints on her body.
"Sizzle!"
The spiritual energy entered the body, like thousands of steel needles piercing the soul.
Liu Mei's body suddenly arched, veins bulging on her forehead, and large beads of sweat mixed with blood kept sliding down.
At this moment, Liu Mei was still clenching her teeth tightly, not allowing herself to let out a single scream; her teeth were already stained red with blood.
Azure Dragonzi's attacks were extremely ruthless, each move potentially fatal, yet he precisely avoided Liu Mei's vital points. He didn't want her death, but rather her suffering and the secret she revealed.
"Will you talk or not? What exactly is Luo Chuan's magic weapon? Does he possess some ancient inheritance?!" Azure Dragonzi roared as he attacked, demanding answers.
Liu Mei kept her eyes tightly closed, as if she had lost the ability to feel pain. However, her aura was fluctuating, and each breath was extremely difficult.
"Very well, since you're being stubborn, I'll play along with you for a bit."
A ruthless glint flashed in Azure Dragonzi's eyes. He formed hand seals and his spiritual power surged wildly within him, instantly enveloping Liu Mei in a cyan cage.
The cyan spiritual energy coiled around Liu Mei like a venomous snake, drilling into her meridians along her skin and frantically tearing at her Dao foundation.
"Ah!"
Liu Mei finally couldn't help but let out a shrill scream. Her body twisted and turned under the torment of the cyan spiritual energy. Her already pale face became even paler, and blood began to seep from her seven orifices.
However, even in extreme pain, she did not loosen her grip; instead, she clenched her teeth even tighter, almost crushing her tongue.
Seeing this, Azure Dragonzi's anger intensified. He waved his hand, withdrawing some of the tormenting spiritual energy, and then pointed with his fingertip, injecting a gentle yet vital spiritual energy into Liu Mei's body.
Liu Mei's body jolted violently, her life force, which was on the verge of dissipation, was forcibly pulled back. The comfort that followed the excruciating pain made her tremble, and her consciousness, which had just fainted, was forced back to normal.
"Hmm..."
Liu Mei slowly opened her eyes, which were bloodshot. She looked at the ferocious Azure Dragonzi in front of her, a mocking smile curving her lips, "You... think... I'll submit like this?"
"You won't submit? Then I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Enraged, Azure Dragonzi attacked again, this time with even greater cruelty.
He kept inflicting pain, yet kept pulling Liu Mei back from the brink of death, in a never-ending cycle.
Liu Mei's soul was on the verge of shattering under repeated torment, and her consciousness fluctuated between lucidity and delirium.
She could feel her life force rapidly draining away, and each awakening meant that her body would have to endure that excruciating pain once again.
Images from the past kept flashing through her mind.
The mountain gate of the Hengyue Sect, Master Luo Chuan's upright figure, the time the master and disciple fought side by side...
There were also words her master had once spoken to her.
" Liu Mei, remember, no matter what, you must guard the principles in your heart, even if it costs you your life, you must not let them be tarnished."
