Zhao Duanxuan stood in the Void, his gaze like lightning. He first looked at Chi Jianshu, then moved to the Ninghai Profound Sect Cheng Qingyun, who was sitting cross-legged on a blue cloud.

Daoist Shurong Chi Jianshu his spine.

She knew that once Zhao Duanxuan had made up his mind to take action, he would show no mercy.

She barely hesitated before her Divine Sense spread out like a tide, and a voice transmission simultaneously reached the ears of Cheng Qingyun and the Daoist Chanting Cicada.

"Fellow Daoists, Zhao Duanxuan is powerful. If we are defeated one by one, we will all return empty-handed today, and even this avatar will perish here! Why don't we join forces and stop him for now?"

Cheng Qingyun and the Daoist Chanting Cicada made their decisions at almost the same moment.

The auras of the three Dao Foundation Realm incarnations erupted simultaneously in the next instant, and three beams of light shot into the sky, colliding fiercely with Zhao Duanxuan's blazing sun.

At the very instant Zhao Duanxuan his move, a sudden change occurred on the other side as well.

The Golden-Crowned Demon Lord of the Southern Heaven Domain, a rooster with golden feathers and a comb like fire, suddenly let out a sharp and high-pitched cry.

With a flap of its wings, the golden feathers that had been covering the sky and swirling towards Chi Jianshu changed direction in mid-air, transforming into a golden torrent that roared towards Bai Lingze.

Golden feathers pierced the sky, sharp as swords, and were surrounded by extremely pure Southern Heaven Domain Dao Origin, piercing the Void with countless fine ripples!

Bai Lingze, however, seemed to have anticipated this all along.

The smile on his lips didn't fade; instead, it grew even colder.

"As expected," he sneered, "Demon Cultivator are fickle and unpredictable; I already guessed you wouldn't give in so easily."

Before he finished speaking, his Divine Sense had already stirred slightly.

The green-robed swordsman from the Dragon-Offering Sect Swordcourt Peak didn't hesitate at all. With a flick of his longsword, an incomparably sharp green sword aura swept across the sky, blocking the path of the Golden-Crowned Demon Lord.

"Demon Lord, I apologize." Liu Chengfeng's voice was calm and composed, yet it contained the essence of swordsmanship.

A flash of anger crossed the Golden-Crowned Demon Lord's eyes.

"Who are you? How dare you stop me?"

He spread his wings and engaged Liu Chengfeng in battle.

In an instant, numerous Divine Ability collided wildly in the Void, generating countless earth-shattering roars.

The sky above Ancestral Mountain had been completely transformed into a battlefield of carnage.

Zhao Duanxuan against three opponents single-handedly, and instead of being at a disadvantage, he became more and more courageous in the battle.

With each rotation of the blazing sun behind him, a terrifying Dao Origin that could scorch Chi Jianshu erupted, forcing back Chi Jianshu's starlight, Cheng Qingyun's Mystic Light, and the Daoist Chanting Cicada's magic.

The illusory image of the great sun was too domineering, just like a real sun descending to earth, with the power to destroy the world in every move it made.

That abyss seemed capable of swallowing everything!

However, it was a brief encounter!

The phantom image of the Big Dipper above Chi Jianshu's head had dimmed considerably.

The projection of Cheng Qingyun's protective Spirit Artifact had also been scorched by the blazing sun, leaving it riddled with holes.

The Daoist Chanting Cicada was in an even worse state. His cultivation techniques were like ice and snow being melted and swallowed up in front of that abyss!

Despite their combined efforts, the three were forced into a series of defeats by Zhao Duanxuan alone.

Meanwhile, Bai Lingze strolled towards Yu Jiangwei!

"The Candleflame Star Fairy of Candlelight possesses extraordinary Killing Power; Bai Lingze has come specifically to seek her guidance!"

Bai Lingze's gaze was intense.

Yu Jiangwei remained silent.

The Substitute Dao Body Grand Divine Ability power, and two identical figures moved through the pervasive mist.

A long sword of mist pierced the sky!

Bai Lingze also made his move at that moment!

The Divine Hymn from him were extremely domineering, the sound waves transforming into layers of golden ripples that completely blocked Yu Jiangwei's attacks from three zhang away.

At the same time, a jade-like light flickered in Bai Lingze's eyes, as if he could see through Yu Jiangwei's mysterious Divine Ability powers.

It was as if a celestial being was whispering in his ear, guiding him on his path!

A chaotic battle has broken out on this Ancestral Mountain!

Zhao Duanxuan truly deserves to be called the strongest!

He fought three against one, yet still had energy to spare.

Just after he blasted Cheng Qingyun back hundreds of feet with a single palm strike and shattered the protective divine Divine Ability of the Daoist Chanting Cicada with a single punch, he actually crossed several mountain peaks and dodged the Big Dipper light of the Daoist Shurong.

Then, suddenly, a talisman appeared between his fingertips!

The talisman ignited, and Zhao Duanxuan's speed suddenly increased, becoming like a true bolt of lightning, traversing a vast distance!

Those eyes, burning with golden flames, actually fell on Yu Jiangwei.

He clenched his right hand in the Void, and the blazing sun behind him was compressed and condensed under this clench, transforming into a blazing white ball of light no bigger than a fist, which he held in his palm.

He took a step forward, a step that spanned the distant Void, and he appeared directly behind Yu Jiangwei.

At this moment, Yu Jiangwei was facing off against Bai Lingze and never expected that Zhao Duanxuan would possess such a Spirit Artifact!

Zhao Duanxuan remained expressionless as he unleashed a palm strike! He then used his Divine Sense to lock onto the other three cultivators and leaped into the second area.

The blazing white orb, like a falling comet, carrying terrifying, world-destroying power, hurtled towards Yu Jiangwei.

Yu Jiangwei guard, Yu Jiangwei had no strength left to withstand Zhao Duanxuan's long-awaited, earth-shattering attack.

She only had time to merge the two Dao Substitute Body into one and to push the protective mist around her to its limit.

A palm fell.

Yu Jiangwei's Dao Substitute Body was struck as if by lightning, and the surging mist around her collapsed under this palm strike.

She was sent flying backward by the palm strike, her avatar's outline blurred, clearly indicating that she had suffered severe injuries.

She managed to steady herself, raised her head, and looked at the expressionless Zhao Duanxuan, then at Bai Lingze who was chasing after her with a smile on his lips.

There was little fear in her eyes; she simply gave Bai Lingze a deep look and sighed softly, "Fellow Daoist Bai Family Lingze, your reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Bai Lingze knew that Yu Jiangwei was mocking him.

His expression remained unchanged as he shook his head slightly, a faint smile on his face, "The Immortal Husk is the property of my Bai and Xi clans; no one can touch it."

Fellow Daoist Yu, we'll meet again in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm.

He raised his hand, intending to completely annihilate Yu Jiangwei's projected avatar.

At that moment, Yu Jiangwei suddenly reached out, and a perfectly round spirit pearl appeared in her palm.

The spirit pearl grew taller with the wind, instantly becoming three zhang long. Spiritual light flowed across its body, and a mysterious escape formation could be faintly seen operating within it.

She sat cross-legged on the spirit pearl, pouring all the remaining spiritual energy in her body into it.

The next instant, the spirit pearl transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky at an unbelievable speed. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the sea of clouds and disappeared into the horizon.

Bai Lingze watched the disappearing streak of light, raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not set off to chase after it.

Not far away, Chi Jianshu had already escaped on the Northern Dipper Jade Ruyi, Cheng Qingyun's avatar dissipated in Zhao Duanxuan's hand, and the Daoist Chanting Cicada transformed into a cicada and fled!

He shook his head slightly, spreading his Divine Sense across the battlefield that had returned to silence.

He could clearly sense that there were still several Divine Sense densely distributed in the surrounding Void.

Many had already been repelled by him and Zhao Duanxuan.

A wisp of their Divine Sense remained here, peering into this place.

The Golden-Crowned Demon Lord and Liu Chengfeng had vanished without a trace, their battle having ended nowhere.

Only he and Zhao Duanxuan remained above the entire Ancestral Mountain.

These remaining Divine Sense clearly wanted to see who would ultimately shed the Immortal Husk.

But Bai Lingze didn't care.

He didn't even bother to extinguish the lurking Divine Sense.

His expression was quite calm. He turned his head and his gaze finally fell on the Mountains-and-Rivers Grand Formation.

With a wave of his hand, the Spirit Artifact, the Wall -Wall-Breaking Shuttle, materialized, its sharp, chilling light emanating from his palm.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhao Duanxuan and Liu Chengfeng, he raised his hand and flicked it, and the Wall-Breaking Shuttle transformed into a dazzling pale golden stream of light, piercing straight towards the center of the Mountains-and-Rivers Grand Formation.

There was no loud noise, nor any violent flash of inspiration!

The moment the Wall-Breaking Shuttle pierced the Mountains-and-Rivers Grand Formation!

That mountain Mountains-and-Rivers Grand Formation, with its Ancestral Mountain as its foundation, twelve mountain ranges as its bones, and countless rivers as its blood, withstood the relentless bombardment of several Dao Foundation Realm Incarnations for several days...

He took a hit from this Spirit Artifact!

It finally began to disintegrate and collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye...

Then it shattered, transforming into a sky full of radiant light!

The Mountains-and-Rivers Grand Formation that had surrounded Xiao Changlü disappeared.

Xiao Changlü sat cross-legged in the middle of the valley and slowly opened his eyes.

The two golden flames in his eyes were still slowly flickering.

He raised his head, his gaze sweeping past Zhao Duanxuan and landing on Bai Lingze, who was walking towards him.

Bai Lingze stepped forward, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.

He stood with his hands behind his back in the air above the valley, looking down at Xiao Changlü.

"Where exactly is that Immortal Husk?"

Xiao Changlü remained seated cross-legged, silent, as if he had not heard his question.

Bai Lingze frowned slightly, about to speak again.

Just then, a rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky.

The rainbow light stretched across the sky from the far distance, like a seven-colored bridge extending straight up to the Ancestral Mountain.

Above the rainbow light, a figure dressed in black, with his hands behind his back and his feet stepping on red light, slowly approached.

The man was tall and imposing, wearing an imperial crown and a black dragon robe.

On that sharply defined face, a pair of eyes burning with golden flames were slowly flickering.

He merely stood upon that rainbow light, yet the profound and vast Dao Origin emanating from his body was as deep and boundless as the ocean, indescribable!

It was none other than Emperor Daye Ying Xian of the Great Ye Dynasty!

A slight smile appeared on Zhao Duanxuan's lips.

There seemed to be a sense of satisfaction in meeting a worthy opponent.

"Ying Xian, you've finally shown yourself."

With a flick of his finger, a golden cauldron appeared above his head.

The golden cauldron was no bigger than the palm of one's hand, and nine golden dragons were carved on its body. Each dragon was lifelike and exuded a terrifying pressure that made people's hearts tremble.

As soon as the golden cauldron appeared, a vast and oppressive aura that suppressed all things surged forth like a tide!

Zhao Duanxuan's aura was incredibly fierce at this moment.

He raised his head, looking up at Emperor Daye Ying Xian of the Great Ye Dynasty above the rainbow light, and murmured to himself, "Ying Xian... this Gold-Suppressing Tripod of mine was prepared for you."

He simply raised his hand and tossed the golden cauldron into the Void.

After the golden cauldron left his hand, it grew in the wind, transforming in an instant from the size of a palm into a colossal cauldron that blotted out the sky! The cauldron was turned upside down, its mouth facing downwards, covering an area of a hundred miles in radius.

The moment the giant cauldron fell, the Void within a radius of a hundred miles suddenly sank, and the flow of Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth came to a standstill!

Even the surging sea of clouds above the sky was frozen in place by this terrifying suppressive force.

Zhao Duanxuan stood with his hands behind his back beneath the giant cauldron, his body radiating a crimson-gold light like a blazing sun, which complemented the golden radiance emitted by the cauldron.

His aura was already terrifyingly powerful, but now, with the blessing of the Gold-Suppressing Tripod, it surged even more.

Standing there, he was like an immortal wielding Heavenly Punishment, his majesty reaching its peak.

He gazed at Emperor Daye Ying Xian, Ying Xian, and slowly spoke, his voice echoing throughout the world like a resounding bell.

"You must have something to rely on for coming here today."

Since that's the case, I respect you, and therefore I will do my utmost to help you.

Ying Xian Daoist Ying Xian, please!

Emperor Daye Ying Xian of the Great Ye Dynasty stepped onto the rainbow light, his brows furrowing slightly.

The gray-white mist formed by the Heavenly Decline Method Divine Ability slowly circulating around him, but the suppressing power emanating from the Gold-Suppressing Tripod was too immense and too domineering, causing the Dao Origin around him to stagnate somewhat.

He felt that being inside the golden cauldron, Zhao Duanxuan's aura seemed to have increased several times over, like a high mountain that he himself could not cross.

"The foundation of this lineage is truly extraordinary."

"How could such an extraordinary thing be brought to him in such a short time?" he muttered to himself.

The two golden flames in his eyes suddenly emitted two dazzling beams of golden light, which pierced through the brilliant light emanating from the Gold-Suppressing Tripod and landed on it.

Although this Spirit Artifact is merely a projection, it must have been prepared by the Quexing Xi Family at a great cost, specifically for Ying Xian.

"It seems that the Quexing Xi Family has paid a huge price for this Immortal Husk and for this Cave Heaven."

He muttered a sentence to himself, his brows furrowing even deeper.

He turned his head and looked at Bai Lingze.

At this moment, Bai Lingze was walking forward with a smile on his face, heading towards Xiao Changlü, who was still sitting cross-legged.

In his view, Ying Xian Zhao Duanxuan.

All he needs to do is capture Xiao Changlü and force him to reveal the whereabouts of the Immortal Husk.

He walked with ease, surrounded by the ever-present sound of Divine Hymn.

Just by walking towards Xiao Changlü, a suffocating pressure pressed down into the valley.

Those Divine Sense that remained in this Void naturally witnessed this scene as well.

Yu Jiangwei, who was hiding in the shadows, Daoist Shurong, who was still spying with his Divine Sense after fleeing far away, and the other Divine Sense that had not dissipated, all sighed in their hearts at this moment.

It seems there's no longer any doubt about who will inherit the Immortal Husk.

Although Ying Xian was strong, he was trapped by Zhao Duanxuan's Gold-Suppressing Tripod.

Xiao Changlü was already at his limit; how could he possibly withstand Bai Lingze?

That Immortal Husk will ultimately belong to the Xi and Bai clans.

Right now.

Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky!

Everyone heard the thunderous sound.

That was a pure, refined, and domineering thunderous sword intent!

The sword intent suddenly appeared from the distant horizon, and then transformed into a dazzling sword light that stretched for ten miles, illuminating the heavens and the earth!

The sword light was too fast; in the blink of an eye, it had pierced through the layers of clouds and mist, landing directly above the Ancestral Mountain.

As the sword light dissipated, a figure slowly emerged from it.

The man was tall and slender, with a youthful and handsome face!

He was surrounded by endless pale golden lightning, which wrapped around him from head to toe like a lightning veil, making him look like a god who had emerged from Thunder Pool.

What was most unsettling was that two tiny bolts of lightning were burning wildly in his deep eyes.

The lightning bolts resembled two thunderbolts embedded in his eye sockets, with countless fine lightning patterns flowing deep within his pupils, exuding a terrifying killing intent that was suffocating.

"Bai Lingze..."

"I've come to kill you!"

A clear voice boomed through the Void like thunder.

The Dao Origin fluctuations contained within that voice were profound and vast!

Everyone was stunned.

Chen Lingxi?
