After defeating Ling Shangyou and Chi Jianshu, Jiang Wei turned around, her gaze piercing through the surging seawater and landing on the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree.

The mist formed by her Substitute Dao Body Grand Divine Ability power surged again, and the Dao Substitute Body slowly walked out of the mist, about to descend into the depths of the Heaven Gate Sea.

Chen Lingxi knew that once Yu Jiangwei stepped into the Heaven Gate Sea first, and once the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree fell into her hands, it would become increasingly difficult for him to compete for it.

More importantly, he also wanted to rely on that Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree to make up for his progress in the Total Perception Awakening.

We can't wait any longer.

He took a deep breath, and the Abyss Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword emitted an extremely faint sword cry, still hovering over his shoulder.

On the sword's blade, the remaining patterns of the hundred restrictions were slowly flowing, emitting a chilling, sharp light that sent shivers down one's spine.

At the same time, the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform within his body spun wildly, and the Thunder-Prison Profound Root trembled violently. Countless dazzling and brilliant Weiji Thunderlight burst forth from the Profound Root, surging and condensing wildly around him.

He soared away, his eyes, burning with lightning, piercing through the churning sea of clouds and landing directly on Yu Jiangwei, on her Dao Substitute Body that was about to step onto the sea.

"Fellow Daoist Yu," Chen Lingxi spoke slowly, his voice deep and resonant as ever, yet possessing an undeniable and chilling aura, "I also greatly desire that Cauldron Vessel."

"If you wish to obtain that Cauldron Vessel, you must first pass my test."

Yu Jiangwei paused in her tracks.

She slowly turned around, her eyes piercing through the churning mist and landing on Chen Lingxi.

After a moment of silence, Yu Jiangwei suddenly nodded slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Profound Root Transformation; the sheer abundance of his energy surpasses even the most outstanding talents of the Xuanmen sect."

She spoke, her voice clear and cool, yet carrying an undisguised hint of approval.

"In that case, I, Yu, will now seek your guidance."

Chen Lingxi a deep breath, rose into the air on a cloud, and made his move.

His cultivation level was merely that of Profound Root Transformation, which was much weaker than Yu Jiangwei's Dao Foundation Realm Incarnation, which had already achieved the Profound Root Transformation into a Wondrous Fruit.

However, Chen Lingxi's Killing Power was at its peak at this moment.

Thunder-Prison Heaven enveloped the Void, and streaks of Unfinished Thunder burst forth, forming a Immortal-Calamity Thunder Pool that stretched across the Void.

Yu Jiangwei also leaped up, their two figures appearing and disappearing in the mist!

It was that great Divine Ability Dao Substitute Body!

Both bodies are real and both are fake. Only by killing both avatars at the same time can she be truly harmed. The two Dao Substitute Body each use different Divine Ability, one attacking and one defending, cooperating perfectly.

The figure on the left wields a long sword shrouded in mist, its swordplay fierce and unparalleled, each strike sending Sword Qi dozens of feet across the sky.

The one on the right uses mist as a shield!

As soon as Chen Lingxi made his move, the Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword burst Void with terrifying Thunder-Prison Heaven Unfinished Thunder, and the Twelve Heavenly Drum Peals were unleashed. Under the enhancement of the Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword, the twelve Heaven-Drum Sword Light transformed into hundreds of sword lights, directly attacking the two Yu Jiangwei.

Yu Jiangwei mist, traversed the sky, blocking hundreds of sword lights.

Chen Lingxi remained calm, Spirit-Calming Shuttle transformed into an invisible light that silently pierced through the Void, directly stabbing into the brow of the Dao Substitute Body on the left.

Yu Jiangwei 'Dao Substitute Body paused slightly, and the sword's momentum froze for a moment.

Chen Lingxi had been waiting for this very moment!

The Longevity Bridge beneath his feet crashed down with a deafening roar. The spiritual bridge that stretched across the sky was like a roaring thunder dragon, slamming into the misty longsword of the Dao Substitute Body on his left, shattering the sword light into pieces.

At the same time, the Profound-Binding Edict grew longer in the wind, transforming into golden chains that wrapped around the Dao Substitute Body on the right. Where the chains passed, the Void froze, and the protective mist of the Dao Substitute Body on the right was twisted by the chains, even being forcibly cracked.

Yu Jiangwei snort.

She clasped her hands together in front of her, and at that moment, the two Dao Substitute Body opened their mouths and spat out an extremely strange Mystic Light. The Mystic Light then transformed into a giant net, which descended upon Chen Lingxi!

This is the Divine Ability Candleflame Star.

[Ashen-Ember Sea Seal]!

This seal is no ordinary technique; rather, it incorporates a wisp of the True Intention essence of the Ashen-Ember Sea into Divine Ability. Once the giant net covers the enemy, it will ignite an invisible and intangible soul fire, scorching the cultivator's Divine Sense and soul, with extremely strong Killing Power!

Chen Lingxi felt a burning pain in her mind even before the giant Consciousness Sea reached her.

A flash of lightning appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly slashed out with the Abyss Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword in his hand. The Thunder-Wielding Heavenly King Sword transformed into a pale golden ribbon that stretched across the sky, slashing towards the giant net of the Ashen-Ember Sea Seal.

The lightning collided with the dark Mystic Light, exploding into a halo that blotted out the sky, slowing down the momentum of the Ashen-Ember Sea Seal.

At that very moment, Yu Jiangwei's second Divine Ability arrived.

Her two Dao Substitute Body simultaneously raised their right hands, fingers pointing to the Heavenward Realm, making a loose clenching motion.

With this grasp, the clouds within a radius of several hundred feet were as if seized by an invisible giant hand, instantly transforming into two towering phantom mountains.

The mountain phantom was entirely dark gold in color, exuding a powerful and oppressive aura that suppressed all things!

[Lu-Mountain Hand Seal]!

This hand seal is also a secret transmission of the Candleflame Star, and it embodies the domineering True Intention of "Mount Lu suppresses all spirits"!

"Both of these Divine Ability abilities are extraordinary, and they have already entered the [Subtle Insight Realm], only one step away from the [Mystic Realm]!"

Chen Lingxi's pupils constricted slightly.

The two Lu-Mountain Hand Seal split into two directions and smashed down on him, blocking his space to dodge left and right.

He took a deep breath, Heaven-Inviting Might surged forth. The Great Sage Aura protected him like an invisible barrier. When the two Lu-Mountain Hand Seal were about to fall, they were actually blocked by the Great Sage Aura.

In that brief moment of obstruction, Chen Lingxi flipped his left hand, and the Delayed Light Flying Dagger appeared in his palm.

The amber-colored throwing knife silently pierced the air, the hourglass at the end of the hilt flowing wildly, and the beam of light sealed within the blade shining brightest at that moment.

The flying knife did not shoot towards the two Lu-Mountain Hand Seal, but instead shot straight towards the brow of the Dao Substitute Body on the left.

Yu Jiangwei. The Dao Substitute Body avatar on the right opened its mouth and spat out an extremely dense beam of profound Mystic Light, which flew out like a bolt of lightning and accurately struck the flying knife.

The throwing knife was deflected by the impact, and before the beam of light from its blade could be released, it was enveloped by the Mystic Light, tumbling several times in the air before falling helplessly to the ground.

But at that very moment, Chen Lingxi had already closed in!

The Longevity Bridge beneath his feet suddenly shifted sideways, carrying his figure into a pale golden streak that passed through the gap between the two Lu-Mountain Hand Seal.

His body shone brightly with the light of the Thunder Garment Method, and the Unfinished Thunder of the Thunder-Prison Heaven surged wildly around him, completely isolating the residual power of the handprints that had escaped.

He slashed out with his right hand, wielding the Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword, while his left hand formed a hand seal.

The technique of the Heaven-Seizing Seal frantically condensed in his palm, plundering all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of several hundred feet, transforming into a huge handprint with a diameter of one hundred feet, which slammed down on Yu Jiangwei's head.

Yu Jiangwei's pupils narrowed slightly.

Her hands moved rapidly, and a series of hand seals flew out from her fingertips like a torrential rain!

The already profound and vast Dao Origin fluctuations around him suddenly surged, and the terrifying Dao Origin pressure swept wildly in all directions, suppressing the momentum of the Heaven-Seizing Seal.

She stretched out her finger and gently Heaven-Seizing Seal.

A Mystic Light, only as thick as a fingertip, shot out from her fingertip.

Divine Ability [Heaven-Broadening Finger Mysterious Qi]!

The Mystic Light appeared slender, but the power it contained was condensed to the extreme. It collided head-on with Chen Lingxi's Heaven-Seizing Seal, exploding into a halo that blotted out the sky. The two terrifying forces were locked in a stalemate in the Void for about a few breaths before exploding at the same time, turning into countless specks of light that dissipated completely.

Chen Lingxi and Yu Jiangwei were each thrown back hundreds of feet by the aftershocks of the collision. When they regained their footing, their eyes blazed with an even more intense fighting spirit.

"His methods are endless, making him seem completely unlike someone from the Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven."

Yu Jiangwei couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but she didn't hesitate at all.

She brought her hands together in front of her, and with a few quick flicks of her fingers, she formed an extremely complex hand seal.

As the hand seal took shape, the mist surrounding her, formed from the Substitute Dao Body Grand Divine Ability, suddenly surged.

Amidst the swirling mist, countless fine crimson array patterns could be faintly seen flowing. These patterns, layered upon each other and interconnected, formed an extremely terrifying killing array in the Void.

This is the [Twin-Confluence Burning Flame Grand Formation].

Yu Jiangwei's Dao Substitute Body occupied both ends of the great formation, one on the left and one on the right, each pouring their own Dao Origin into the formation patterns without reservation.

At that moment, the array patterns simultaneously lit up with a dazzling crimson light, and an extremely scorching and domineering aura surged out from the array in an overwhelming manner.

"He actually cultivated a combined attack formation with his own Dao Substitute Body?"

Chen Lingxi stood in the center of the great formation, feeling a terrifyingly scorching power surge towards him.

The scorching power was not only burning his physical body, but also his Dao Origin, his Divine Sense, and even the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform within his body.

He felt his Dao Origin melting at a visible speed under the erosion of this strange flame, like ice and snow being put into a furnace, powerless to resist.

A sudden burst of lightning flashed in Chen Lingxi's eyes.

"If we don't break the formation quickly, we will be refined alive by this Twin-Confluence Burning Flame Grand Formation!"

He took a deep breath, and within the Inner Divine Palace of his body, the illusory figure of the Great Heaven-Concealing Great Sage suddenly opened its eyes.

Those eyes were as deep as an abyss, with stars faintly swirling within them, exuding a terrifying pressure that made people suffocate!

The instant the Great Sage opened his eyes, an indescribable surge of boundless energy erupted from his Inner Divine Palace, flooding into his limbs and bones, into every inch of his muscles and every piece of his flesh, like a burst dam!

The lightning that had been swirling around his body suddenly surged, intertwining with the Great Sage Essence and transforming into a dazzling golden lightning veil that enveloped him from head to toe.

The Fourth Profound of the True Edict of Audience with the Dao!

[The Great Sage Treasure Form].

He pushed the final secret of the Palace-Knocking Realm Mystery Mechanism to its limit at this moment.

The illusory image of the Great Sage behind him was no longer just a blurry outline, but suddenly solidified, and the outline of the image became clearly visible. Stars flowed around it, exuding a saintly aura that suppressed all ages and looked down upon the world.

Precious Appearance manifested, an indescribable and terrifying physical power erupted from Chen Lingxi's body.

The power was so immense and domineering that it shattered the flames enveloping him into pieces.

"This fourth Palace-Knocking Realm Mystery Mechanism incredibly powerful."

Chen Lingxi felt that his physical body was stronger than ever before at this moment, and every move he made had the power to destroy mountains and uproot peaks.

He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the surging crimson array patterns and landing on the Dao Substitute Body on the left, and suddenly took a step forward.

Take this step!

The Void beneath his feet exploded with a deafening roar, and the array patterns of the Twin-Confluence Burning Flame Grand Formation trembled violently and cracked under his stomp!

Where the cracks appeared, the crimson flames were extinguished!

"What kind of Divine Ability is this? Even a body cultivator at the Dao Foundation Early Stage cannot possess such a powerful physical body!"

Yu Jiangwei's expression changed slightly, and her hands flew back and forth as she poured her Dao Origin into the great formation without reservation, attempting to repair the cracks.

But Chen Lingxi didn't give her that chance.

Using the terrifying physical power brought by the Great Sage Treasure Form, he stepped out repeatedly within the great formation!

The power of the physical body was thus unleashed!

The once seamless Twin-Confluence Burning Flame Grand Formation was actually shattered into countless cracks by his ruthless trampling!

The array patterns dimmed, the spiritual light dissipated, and it was on the verge of complete collapse.

Yu Jiangwei frowned, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

She and her Dao Substitute Body opened their mouths simultaneously, spitting out two extremely dense, dark red Mystic Light.

The Mystic Light fell into the great formation, and the shaky Twin-Confluence Burning Flame Grand Formation suddenly lit up with a dazzling light again, and the cracks began to close at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Chen Lingxi gazed at the array patterns that had lit up again, but there was no fear in her eyes. Instead, a fighting spirit that was almost fanatical ignited within her.

"Yu Jiangwei's Killing Power is truly extraordinary, far surpassing that of Bai Lingze."

But who knows how many such figures there are in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm!

Chen Lingxi's mind raced.

He stopped stepping on the array patterns, and instead suddenly raised his head, his gaze locking onto the Dao Substitute Body. He stomped his feet in the center of the array, and his whole body crashed into the Dao Substitute Body like a cannonball.

The Great Sage Treasure Form, imbued with earth-shattering physical power, was protected by the Thunder Garment Method, while Unfinished Thunder raged and gathered on his fist.

He clenched his right fist and, like a pale golden thunderous sun, slammed it down on the Dao Substitute Body.

The Dao Substitute Body raised a mist shield to block.

The instant fist and shield clashed, a deafening roar exploded within the great formation.

Yu Jiangwei 'Dao Substitute Body trembled violently, and the mist shield in her hand was shattered inch by inch by Chen Lingxi's punch, turning into countless fragments of mist that scattered in all directions.

The Dao Substitute Body sent flying backward by the punch!

Yu Jiangwei!

The might of the Great Sage Treasure Form is truly formidable!

Yu Jiangwei's eyes were serious.

She remained silent for a moment, then her Dao Substitute Body landed in the distance, hovering in the churning mist, facing Chen Lingxi from afar.

She suddenly spoke, her voice clear and cold as water. "It is truly rare for a Daoist like you to be born in the Weiji Grotto-Heaven."

Yu Jiangwei, a hint of regret flashing in her deep eyes.

"I, Yu Jiangwei, am proud of my exceptional talent in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm. Even when facing the geniuses of the True Lord Xuanmen, I have never been at a disadvantage. In fact... I am stronger than them."

"Fellow Daoist, you possess such combat power so early in your Dao Foundation Realm; it is truly admirable."

As she said this, she suddenly changed the subject, and murderous intent glint rekindled in her eyes. "I may admire you, but when it comes to seizing fortuitous opportunity, I will show no mercy."

Yu still possesses a Divine Ability called [Primordial Severing Killing Art], which is a secret killing technique passed down by my Candleflame Star.

With this Divine Ability power, eliminating Dao Platform Dao Origin would be as easy as cutting grass.

Since I mastered this technique, I have never used it in a battle between people of the same realm.

"Fellow Daoist, please witness my Divine Ability!"
