Chen Lingxi and went straight to the Heaven Gate Sea.

He stood atop the azure clouds interspersed with pale golden lightning, the profound and vast Dao Origin fluctuations around him completely withdrawn into his body.

The Concealed Edge Method operated silently within his body, completely hiding the aura of the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform and the Thunder-Prison Profound Root.

But in his deep eyes, two tiny bolts of lightning were slowly flickering.

Deep within his pupils, countless fine lightning patterns swirled, emitting a chilling glint that sent shivers down one's spine.

He continued his journey, flying to a place a thousand miles from the Heaven Gate Sea, when suddenly his expression changed slightly.

"Is anyone there?"

Chen Lingxi raised an eyebrow, activated the Qi Observation Technique, and looked up. She saw a faint wisp of energy slowly flowing in the far distance.

Chen Lingxi was familiar with that aura.

"Liu Chengfeng, Elder Jian Chaofeng of the Dragon-Offering Sect Swordcourt Peak, Dao Foundation Realm Incarnation."

He silently recited it in his heart.

This person had once trapped Bai Lingze with a sword formation within Bai Lingze's scheme, blocking his path for Bai Lingze.

At that time, he had only just completed Dao Platform and had not yet planted his Profound Root. He charged left and right in Liu Chengfeng's sword formation, but he couldn't even break through a single Sword Qi energy barrier. He could only watch helplessly as Bai Lingze arrived calmly, like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Later, he achieved the Dao Foundation Realm and defeated Bai Lingze on the Ancestral Mountain, but he never saw Liu Chengfeng again.

Unexpectedly, on the way to the Heaven Gate Sea today, I sensed this person's presence again.

"Liu Chengfeng is also heading to the Heaven Gate Sea."

Chen Lingxi understood.

Since this person is a projection of the Dragon-Offering Sect, he naturally wouldn't miss the fortuitous opportunity for the complete Cauldron Vessel to be born.

Chen Lingxi stood on the cloud, remained silent for a few breaths, and then suddenly shook his head slightly.

"The first time I met Liu Chengfeng, I engraved a trace of his aura into the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade." He murmured to himself, the two balls of lightning in his eyes slowly flickering. "At that time, I only regarded this Cauldron Artifact Fragment as a means of survival, in case Liu Chengfeng and Bai Lingze attacked at the same time."

But now that I think about it... it was a waste of the opportunity to inscribe a name on the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade."

With a slight thought, the ancient aura on the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade suddenly intensified.

"The direction Liu Chengfeng is heading is only a thousand miles away from me."

Chen Lingxi narrowed her eyes, her mind racing.

This Liu Chengfeng is the incarnation of the Dao Foundation Realm.

Then Chen Lingxi Profound Root Transformation and cultivated the Great Sage Treasure Form, his combat power increasing dramatically compared to when he defeated Bai Lingze.

More importantly, on the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade, Liu Chengfeng's name was emitting a cold, eerie light.

The profound power brewing within had already completely locked onto Liu Chengfeng's aura, waiting only for him to make a thought before activating the power of the Cauldron Vessel within the spirit wall.

"This man once trapped me in a sword formation, nearly killing me at Bai Lingze's hands." A slight glint of lightning flashed in Chen Lingxi's eyes, and a faint chill appeared on his lips. "Now that I'm going to the Heaven Gate Sea with him, we are not only adversaries but also have a history of conflict. If we can intercept and kill him halfway, it will be like eliminating a very troublesome variable before the competition for the Cauldron Vessel."

He looked up at the direction of the Heaven Gate Sea, then looked down at Liu Chengfeng's name on the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade.

"In that case, I will wait here peacefully."

With a slight thought, the azure cloud beneath his feet, crackling with lightning, silently descended and landed atop an unnamed mountain peak.

The mountain peak was not high, but it was extremely steep. At the summit, there was a protruding rock that jutted out from the cliff face like an eagle's beak, with a bottomless abyss below.

Chen Lingxi then sat cross-legged on the mountain rock, closed his eyes and concentrated. The lightning around him slowly subsided, and he became one with the mountain peak and the surging sea of clouds.

He sat cross-legged, his Divine Sense spreading out like a tidal wave.

That Divine Sense was silent and invisible, like spring rain seeping into the earth overnight, leaving no trace, yet omnipresent.

After a long while, Chen Lingxi slowly opened her eyes.

He saw a streak of azure sword light piercing through the sea of clouds hundreds of miles away, hurtling toward him.

The sword light was extremely fast, like a blue meteor streaking across the sky, leaving a long trail and stirring up the surrounding clouds.

Amidst the sword light, a slender figure could be vaguely seen standing on it, hands behind his back, robes fluttering in the wind.

It was none other than Liu Chengfeng of the Dragon-Offering Sect.

The man remained unchanged, dressed in blue robes, with a long sword at his waist. The two forked antlers on his forehead, resembling coral, gleamed in the sword light, adding to his eerie aura.

But at this moment, his usually composed face was now furrowed, and there was a hint of urgency in his eyes.

He probably sensed the terrifying fluctuations coming from the direction of the Heaven Gate Sea, knowing that the complete Cauldron Vessel had appeared in the world, and that every second counted, so he dared not delay in the slightest.

Chen Lingxi took in his expression, the two balls of lightning in her eyes flickering slightly, but she did not make a move immediately.

He simply sat cross-legged on the mountain rock, his Concealed Edge Method operating at its maximum, completely concealing the aura of the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform and the Thunder-Prison Profound Root.

Liu Chengfeng's sword light was getting closer and closer.

Three hundred li, two hundred li, one hundred li...

The sharp whistling sound of the sword light as it pierced the air was already clearly audible, and the azure sword intent swirling around it was already overwhelming.

Just then, Chen Lingxi suddenly opened her eyes.

Two Weiji Thunderlight suddenly shone in those eyes.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure erupted from his body at that moment, as if divine thunder had struck the ground, and the clouds within a ten-mile radius all froze!

Liu Chengfeng's sword light suddenly stopped.

He suddenly raised his head, a look of surprise flashing across his narrow eyes. His gaze pierced through layers of Void, landing on the mountain peak and on the figure in black robes sitting cross-legged.

"Chen Lingxi?"

Liu Chengfeng's voice was tinged with surprise.

He naturally knew that Chen Lingxi had defeated Bai Lingze.

However, he later encountered Bai Lingze Bai Lingze, who said that Chen Lingqi had only won by taking advantage of the power of the Slaying-Force Cauldron.

"This person possesses a fragment of Slaying-Force Cauldron; I fear I am no match for him."

As Liu Chengfeng pondered, he saw Chen Lingxi open her eyes and gaze at him from a great distance.

A chilling killing intent flashed across Liu Chengfeng's body.

He stood with his hands behind his back atop the sword light, looked at Chen Lingxi, and slowly spoke, "Fellow Daoist Chen, what is your intention in stopping me here?"

Chen Lingxi slowly stood up, and at that moment, the profound and vast Dao Origin fluctuations around her bloomed without reservation.

The Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform spun wildly, and the Thunder-Prison Profound Root trembled violently. Countless Weiji Thunderlight burst forth from the Profound Root, surging and condensing wildly around him.

He stood atop the mountain, raised his head to meet Liu Chengfeng's gaze, and calmly said, "Fellow Daoist Liu, there are still old grudges between us."

Since we've met here today, why don't we settle things properly?

Liu Chengfeng frowned, a glint of sword light flashing in his narrow eyes.

He was an elder of the Sword Swordcourt Peak of the Dragon-Offering Sect, with Dao Foundation Late Stage cultivation. Although he was a projection avatar here, his pride as a sword cultivator had never diminished in the slightest.

At this moment, he was blocked halfway by a junior who had just formed his Profound Root, who kept saying that he wanted to "settle old scores" with him, so he couldn't help but sneer.

"Chen Lingxi." He pressed his sword, his voice deep and resonant as ever. "You once defeated Bai Lingze with that fragment of the Slaying-Force Cauldron, and now you intend to use it to defeat me?"

Chen Lingxi did not answer, but the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform within his body suddenly lit up at that moment.

The Thunder-Prison Profound Root, which had grown into a large tree on the Dao Platform, suddenly trembled. An extremely deep and domineering Unfinished Thunder burst forth from the Profound Root, surging into his limbs and bones, and into the Abyss Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword in his right hand, which was slowly being drawn from its sheath.

On the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade, Liu Chengfeng's name suddenly lit up, and an ancient aura emanated from the Spirit Wall, enveloping Chen Lingxi!

This Slaying-Force Cauldron power!

Chen Lingxi attacked with all her might from the very first move!

The Longevity Bridge beneath his feet crashed down with a deafening roar! The Spirit Bridge, which stretched across the sky, was like a roaring thunder dragon, colliding fiercely with the sword light beneath Liu Chengfeng's feet!

Chen Lingxi stepped onto the Longevity Bridge, his robes fluttering in the wind, and the overwhelming pressure of the Cauldron Vessel emanating from him pressed down on Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng's Divine Ability is also extraordinary.

With a single slash, the sword light transformed into countless sword shadows in the Void, surging overwhelmingly towards the Longevity Bridge.

Relying on the profound Dao Origin of his Profound Root Transformation, he managed to withstand Chen Lingxi's first wave of attacks, and his face darkened.

"Chen Lingxi... are you really going to stop me here?" Liu Chengfeng said, "The complete Cauldron Vessel has already appeared in the world. Zhao Duanxuan, Bai Lingze and the others are probably already at the Heaven Gate Sea by now."

If you continue fighting me here, we will both be injured and neither of us will benefit! Why not stop for now?

Chen Lingxi did not reply.

The Longevity Bridge crashed into him again. At the same time, the Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword suddenly flew out, splitting into dozens of Sword Qi that shot towards Liu Chengfeng!

Liu Chengfeng's expression changed drastically. He flipped his long sword, and his Dao Origin surged!

He opened his mouth and exhaled a pale golden light, which grew longer in the wind and transformed into a sword curtain that stretched across the sky, blocking his way!

However, the Sword Qi generated by the Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword was too sharp. The pale golden sword screen trembled violently under the impact of dozens of Sword Qi, but it did not shatter in the end.

However, the light above the sword barrier had dimmed considerably, clearly indicating that Liu Chengfeng had expended a great deal of Dao Origin to maintain it.

Chen Lingxi then lunged forward!

Thunder-Prison Heaven Immortal-Execution Thunder Pool!

The surging pale golden lightning compressed to its limit, transforming into Thunder Pool only a few feet square, carrying earth-shattering thunderous Killing Power, and descended upon Liu Chengfeng!

Liu Chengfeng gritted his teeth, knowing that ordinary supernatural Divine Ability were simply no match for this kind of interest.

In the next instant, the Daoist aura of his Dao Foundation Grand Divine Ability spread out like a tide around him.

The great Divine Ability he cultivated was called [Hidden Dragon Cry].

This Divine Ability originates from the Mysterious Womb, Balanced Growth Heaven. It involves sealing a sword light, a Mystic Light, or a Divine Ability into one's own Dao Platform, nurturing it daily with spiritual power, tempering it monthly with Killing Power, and then contemplating the mysteries of the Hidden Dragon Dao.

Like a dragon hibernating in winter, concealing its sharpness in the abyss, seemingly silent, yet every breath it takes is accumulating immense murderous intent.

The longer it is nurtured, the more terrifying its sealed Divine Ability power becomes. When it is unsheathed, it is like the end of winter and the arrival of spring, or a hibernating dragon being awakened from its slumber. With a single sword strike, it shatters the heavens and the earth.

Within the Thunder Pool, a senior cultivator used this method to forge a sword that had remained unsheathed for three hundred years.

Three hundred years have passed, day and night, tempered by thunder and nurtured by killing intent. When the sword is drawn, the world changes color, a thousand miles of clouds are cleaved in two, and even the stars in the sky sway.
