Foundation Establishment Middle Stage! Success!

Hundred-Zhang Heaven!

As the Crown Prince of Southern Yin pointed his finger down, intending to wipe out Qi Yun and Yellow Li Island together.

Qi Yun's dark blue Daoist robe billowed up, instantly transforming into an endless horizon.

Although it was as thin as a cloud, it seemed as if it were separated by an entire sky, causing the Crown Prince of Southern Yin's attack to land completely on empty air.

"Oh?"

The Crown Prince of Southern Yin let out a soft "hmm".

He had clearly locked onto Qi Yun's aura, but the moment he touched the clouds formed by the deep blue Daoist robe, it was as if he had struck a void.

The force of the fingers vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea, without even causing a ripple.

"Interesting----" After his attack missed, the projection of the Crown Prince of Southern Yin showed no anger or surprise. Instead, his amused smile deepened.

"Bearing multiple traditions, his methods are quite ingenious."

However, if you stop here, I'm afraid you won't reach the end of your Dao Path today.

His tone was flat, as if he were stating a fact.

Before he finished speaking, the projection of the Crown Prince of Southern Yin withdrew his right hand, but his left hand had already silently formed a blade, slashing down into the void. This slash had no dazzling light, but it was filled with a fierce will to judge the law and divide the order!

Where the palm passed, a perfectly smooth, pale golden "crack" was plowed open in the void, a crack that could not be healed for a long time.

The golden crack shot straight towards Qi Yun's head, threatening to sever his connection with the Spirit Vein beneath him and with the surrounding world!

Qi Yun remained seated, maintaining the progress of his breakthrough, using only a portion of his mental energy to defend against the enemy.

Faced with this even more dangerous attack, he still pressed his right hand lightly on his knee to stabilize his Dao Foundation.

In an instant, his left hand formed an ancient mountain-shaped Law Seals and gently pressed it against the ground beneath him.

"Town!"

The single word uttered was like a muffled thunderclap.

In an instant, centered on Qi Yun, the earth's veins of the entire Yellow Li Island roared violently.

Countless dark golden ley lines of light, like awakened dragons, surged wildly from the depths of the island and from beneath the surrounding sea, weaving and forming around him.

In an instant, a majestic phantom of a heavy, ancient, and all-encompassing array descended with a thunderous roar!

[Northern Defense Grand Formation]!

The illusory array, like the most solid dam, stood in front of the "Severing" palm strike.

"Laugh--!"

The golden crack slashed against the dark gold array patterns, producing a scraping sound that shattered one's Divine Soul.

The array patterns flickered and faded violently, deeply dented by the attack, with countless fine cracks spreading out, clearly unable to completely withstand this strike containing the will of a supreme being.

However, the great formation still managed to slow down, disperse, and consume eight or nine tenths of that decisive power.

The remaining power, after penetrating the array of shadows, was reduced to almost nothing when it struck Qi Yun's main body.

At the very moment the remaining force of judgment touched the body.

On Qi Yun's left wrist, the dark blue [Tribulation-Avoiding Incantation] tattoo reappeared on its own, shimmering with light as it actively met the force.

The incantation twisted and flickered, mysteriously evading the True Intention of judgment.

Ultimately, the remaining force was cleverly diverted a few inches, grazing past Qi Yun's shoulder.

It silently "cut" a rock wall behind him into two sections, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror.

Qi Yun's main body was not even slightly damaged.

"Array formations? Incantations?" The Crown Prince of Southern Yin's projection showed even greater interest.

He didn't move, but simply opened his mouth and gently "blew" towards Qi Yun's location.

This gust of wind was not a gale.

A wisp of pale golden "aura," seemingly composed of countless miniature magical runes, wafted from its mouth.

This aura was initially faint, but when it was only three feet away from the mouth, it swelled in the wind and transformed into a vast and ethereal phantom of imperial writings, as heavy as a galaxy.

Every word in the article is precious, containing the True Intention of education, etiquette, order, and suppression. Like a divine decree, it slowly descends upon Qi Yun and the illusory image of the Northern Defense Grand Formation where he resides.

This is an attempt to suppress all heresy with the grand and righteous "reason"!

Qi Yun felt the all-pervasive and deeply moving power of the "principle," yet his expression remained solemn.

He finally raised his empty right hand, his index and middle fingers together, and a point of pure, golden light suddenly shone from the tip of his finger, a light so pure it could burn away all the falsehoods and evil spirits in the world!

The True Intention the [Southern Ming Li Fire Sword Instruction]!

He gathered the most refined Sword Intent the Blazing Fire at his fingertips and gently "slashed" at the approaching phantom of the Imperial Path text!

"Sizzle--!"

Like the sharpest scissors slicing through thick brocade.

Where the crimson and white light passed, the pale golden phantom of the imperial edict was forcibly "slashed" open, leaving a narrow gap.

The extreme attributes of the Blazing Fire Sword Intent— "burning away all evil" and "breaking through delusion to seek truth"—clashed fiercely with and annihilated the "educational order" power of the Imperial Dao Text.

The article's momentum was momentarily halted; though not completely broken, it was temporarily blocked.

The golden light at Qi Yun's fingertips dimmed, clearly indicating that this wisp of pure Sword Intent had been significantly depleted.

But he had already achieved his goal, gaining a brief respite.

"His Sword Intent is pure; he has attained the Samadhi of Departing Fire."

The projection of the Crown Prince of Southern Yin nodded slightly, as if making a comment, but his eyes remained calm.

"Unfortunately, you are multitasking, Dao Foundation is not yet stable. How long can you hold on?"

He had seen through Qi Yun's true nature and was unwilling to get entangled with him any further.

He slowly brought his hands together in front of his chest, and a terrifying aura, far more powerful and condensed than before, began to brew.

The illusory image of [Imperial Supreme Creation Heaven] behind him suddenly became clearer, and the image of mountains, rivers and states within it flowed faster. A destructive Dao intent, which indicated that the end of Creation was annihilation and the ultimate rule was deprivation, began to permeate the air.

The Crown Prince of Southern Yin has launched his final attack, completely ending this battle and eliminating this potential supreme enemy!

A crisis suddenly loomed, Qi Yun's eyes turned icy cold.

If he abandons his breakthrough and goes all out, he can suppress this projection in an instant.

However, in doing so, the four rare artifacts he painstakingly acquired would also vanish into thin air, and he would have to search for them all again if he wanted to break through to the next level.

Just as Qi Yun making his decision, Cai Kun, the Wealth Connects to the Divine, sent a message through his mind. "Boy, use that [Armaments Gold]!"

"With my divine inspiration, I can briefly summon an army of the Great Tang!"

His gaze sharpened instantly. Without the slightest hesitation, Qi Yun flipped his left hand, and the [Innate Treasure Coin] with the ancient seal script characters "Martial Preparations Endure" engraved on its front was already in his grasp.

At the same time, a glimmer of dark golden light flew out from the void and disappeared into the coin.

Buzz-!

In an instant!

[Armaments Gold] suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly intense golden light!

Inside the money, it was as if a door leading to an ancient era of battle had been suddenly pushed open!

"All barbarian tribes, both inside and outside the borders, who dare to raise arms! They shall all be beheaded!"

A deep, powerful, and unified roar, accompanied by the faint sounds of clashing armor and clanging weapons, soared into the sky from the golden light!

Where golden light filled the air, towering warrior phantoms, clad in black armor, wielding long sabers and halberds, with powerful bows at their waists and faces shrouded in veils, descended in perfect battle formation, stepping on invisible ripples of spacetime!

The stomach was stained with dust, Sha Qi soared to the sky.

Silent and still, their fighting spirit was as firm as iron.

Flags fluttered, and a huge "Tang" character could be vaguely seen, along with smaller characters beside it—"Longwu"!

The elite imperial guards of the Great Tang – the Dragon Martial Army!

The entire cave abode was filled with the fierce aura of battles fought, the fierce killings that protected imperial power, and the indomitable will of the military formation.

It even subtly overwhelmed the imperial aura emanating from the Crown Prince's projection!

"Hmm?! This is----" The projection of the Crown Prince of Southern Yin changed its expression slightly for the first time, a trace of solemnity flashing in its eyes.

"Now!" Cai Shen shouted.

Qi Yun, inspired by a sudden inspiration, disregarded the cost and forcibly separated a wisp of his dominant consciousness, imitating the flow of energy and the True Intention of the battle formation of the Southern Yin [Imperial Apex Pagoda Army Formation] that he had witnessed in Lifeless Valley.

Infuse your will into these hundreds of the Dragon Martial Army!

"Floating Buddha and valiant steed, protect our land! Rise into battle!"

Amidst the roar of heaven and earth, Qi Yun, relying on the power of the [Great Luo Myriad Laws Dao Foundation], exerted his dominance.

They forcibly set up this unique "Tang Dynasty" style Dragon Martial Pagoda Grand Formation!

Thousands of soldiers roared in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized, halberds pointed forward, bowstrings drawn loosely.

A dark golden torrent, imbued with the majestic and domineering spirit unique to the Great Tang Dynasty, was like an iron cavalry charge from the long river of history.

It charged headlong into the projection of the Crown Prince of Southern Yin!

This strike transcended the realm of ordinary Law Technique; it was a stroke of genius from Qi Yun in a desperate situation.

The Crown Prince of Southern Yin's eyes flashed as he thrust out both palms to meet the torrent of dark golden military spirits.

A massive jade seal representing the "Mountain and River Suppression Seal" flew out from behind [Imperial Supreme Creation Heaven], carrying the dual True Intention of Creation and annihilation, and crashed hard into it.

"Boom-!!!!!"

An indescribable roar erupted within the cave abode!

The two forces are evenly matched!

For a moment, it was difficult to determine who was better, and a tense atmosphere ensued.

Qi Yun's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his right hand, which had been stabilizing his Dao Foundation, finally moved!

He focused on the [Great Luo Heaven] Dao Foundation Source that was boiling and rising between his brows, and steadied it a little.

He forcefully penetrated the "Supreme Aura" and "Imperial Will" of the projection of the Crown Prince of Southern Yin, which had been relentlessly pressing and stimulating his Dao Foundation, into the key point of his Dao Foundation's transformation!

"Open it!!!"

A long howl that came from the depths of Divine Soul!

The [Great Luo Heaven], which had already risen to the critical point but was slightly sluggish due to external interference, suddenly erupted as if its last flame had been ignited under the extreme pressure and stimulation of another [Supreme]'s aura.

One era, one century—two supreme beings cannot coexist!

Buzz-!!!

Qi Yun's aura suddenly changed!

The previously somewhat illusory and unstable thirty-zhang chaotic Domain Heaven suddenly solidified, stabilized, collapsed inward, and then expanded rapidly, eventually stabilizing completely within a radius of one hundred zhang.

Within the Domain Heaven, a complete Dao domain Principle that encompasses all things, governs all laws, and is supremely supreme clearly manifests.

The chaotic halo at the edge of the Domain Heaven transformed into a tangible barrier, flowing with indescribable Daoist charm.

The Foundation Establishment Middle Stage stage is complete!

At the very same instant that Qi Yun successfully broke through and Domain Heaven stabilized.

The Mountain and River Suppression Seal Rune and the Dragon Martial Grand Array were completely annihilated at the same time.

As the projection of Crown Prince of Southern Yin, whose aura had undergone a complete transformation and Domain Heaven was now stable and vast, the Qi Yun Prince of Nanyin's face, which had always been etched with interest and calm scrutiny, finally showed a noticeable fluctuation for the first time.

It was a chilling feeling of plans being disrupted and prey escaping control.

After a brief silence, the projection of the Crown Prince of Southern Yin began to fade slowly, returning to nothingness.

"Very good----" Looking at Qi Yun, the Crown Prince of the Dynasty's voice remained steady.

I'll remember you.

Don't rush, the game between us has only just begun.

Next time, I will end you completely!

As soon as the words were spoken, the projection completely disintegrated, turning into specks of pale golden light that disappeared into the distorted void.

Qi Yun slowly withdrew his right hand, his face still pale, but his eyes shone like morning stars, carrying a completely different kind of calm and vastness.

Gazing in the direction where the projection dissipated, his eyes held neither joy nor sorrow, only a bottomless calm.

"Next time?"

"Hehe, I, Qi, can't wait for a next time!"

Before he finished speaking, the [Great Luo Myriad Laws Domain Heaven] behind Qi Yun suddenly unfolded, with endless stars and vast laws, instantly capturing the last wisp of supreme energy remaining in the cave abode.

A moment of patience brings peace, but taking a step back only makes you angrier!

I'm already in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage!

Revenge has to wait until tomorrow?

The next moment!

A boundless and supreme domineering aura erupted forth, Qi Yun's body was surrounded by overwhelming pressure, his eyes were filled with surging colorful light, and with a wave of his hand, he grasped strands of cause and effect in his palm.

Tracing back to the origin!

This time, it was his turn to go and kill!
