Shock, How Was This Possible?

Ancestor Xuanyuan roared, unleashing his full power of spiritual energy at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.

"Nine Purities Profound Heaven Grand Formation, activate at full power!"

"All disciples, heed my command! Infuse your spiritual power and defend against the enemy!"

He formed hand seals and merged his entire being into the great formation.

In an instant, the Nine Purities Profound Heaven Grand Formation shone brightly, its array patterns became incredibly clear, and its defensive power increased several times over.

The Daozhen Sect disciples within the mountain also sprang into action, channeling their spiritual energy into the array's foundation.

"Second round, volley!"

Li Yunjing gave the order again.

Boom!!!

Another thirty-six beams of spiritual light were unleashed.

This time, although the formation shook violently, it withstood the impact steadily.

"It's truly different Tribulation Transcendence Stage ancestor presides over the grand formation," Mo Xuan frowned. "Continuing to fight like this is too taxing."

Li Yunjing nodded slightly.

Breaking through the formation by force would be time-consuming, laborious, and would also cause considerable casualties.

However, he hadn't originally planned to break through the enemy lines solely with his fleet.

"The fleet will continue its suppression; there's no need to stop," Li Yunjing ordered. "I'm going to meet this Ancestor Xuanyuan."

"Senior brother, are you going to take action personally?" Mo Xuan was shocked. "He's at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage!"

"Just at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage," Li Yunjing said calmly.

As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, and something appeared in his palm.

It was a jade pillar about the size of a palm, pale blue in color, with fine, Qingwei patterns engraved on its body. A glass bead was inlaid at the top, its warm, spiritual light flowing slowly around it, emanating a terrifying aura that suppressed all things.

It is indeed Semi-Immortal Artifact, the Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner.

This object was originally the supreme demonic Devil Artifact of a major demonic sect, named the Mystic Yin Devil Banner, which was extremely ferocious.

Previously, when a powerful demonic cultivator took this Semi-Immortal Artifact to Yuanchu, he was killed by the Five Spirits Lord.

Later, the Five Spirits Lord joined forces to refine it, completely removing its Devil Artifact nature and infusing it with the Daoist essence of Qingwei, refining it into the Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner.

Although it is not a true Immortal Artifact, it far surpasses ordinary Spirit Treasure and is a genuine Semi-Immortal Artifact.

It is also the strongest trump card of the Luozhen Sect at present.

"The Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner." Mo Xuan looked at the jade banner, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

He naturally knew of the existence of this Semi-Immortal Artifact, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.

Seeing this Semi-Immortal Artifact with his own eyes now, Mo Xuan could hardly help but be shocked.

"With this treasure, that old ghost Xuanyuan is doomed." Li Yunjing's tone was calm, yet filled with absolute confidence.

The next moment, he moved, transforming into a streak of azure light, and flew towards the great formation.

Li Yunjing hovered a hundred feet away from the great formation.

The spiritual light of the Nine Purities Profound Heaven Grand Formation was within reach, its array patterns flowing, containing a terrifying backlash power.

Ordinary cultivators who approach will be automatically attacked by the formation.

The figure of Ancestor Xuanyuan appeared and disappeared within the great formation.

"Li Yunjing, you dare to come alone, you've got some nerve." The voice of the Ancestor Xuanyuan came from within the formation, laced with a sneer, "Do you really think I can't kill you?"

"Kill me?" Li Yunjing smiled faintly. "You can try."

He raised the Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner with his right hand and slowly poured spiritual power into it.

Buzz.

The pale blue jade canopy slowly floated up, exuding a warm yet majestic aura.

The Qingwei Dao patterns on the body of the pillar lit up one by one, and the glass bead at the top emitted a soft, clear light.

A terrifying pressure, far surpassing that of a top-grade Spirit Treasure, slowly spread out.

"This is..."

Ancestor Xuanyuan's pupils contracted sharply, and a strong sense of unease rose in his heart.

"Semi-Immortal Artifact?!"

He cried out, his voice trembling.

How is that possible?!

How could there possibly be Semi-Immortal Artifact in the mortal realm?!

Even the Daozhen Sect, with its tens of thousands of years of heritage and the backing of Immortal Lord, only possesses a few high-grade Spirit Treasure, not even a trace of Semi-Immortal Artifact.

How could Li Yunjing, a mere Luozhen Sect, possess Semi-Immortal Artifact?

"Where... where did you get this?!" Ancestor Xuanyuan was shocked, furious, and couldn't hide his greed.

Semi-Immortal Artifact!

If he could obtain this treasure, his chances of successfully Tribulation Transcendence would increase by at least 30%! He might even have a chance to reach the True Immortal realm!

"You don't need to know where it came from," Li Yunjing said calmly. "You only need to know that today, it will send you on your way."

"How dare you speak so arrogantly!" Ancestor Xuanyuan roared. "It's just a Semi-Immortal Artifact. Do you think you can break my great formation and kill my Bandit Cultivator with just this?"

"Try it and you'll see."

Li Yunjing stopped talking nonsense, formed hand seals, and activated the Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner.

"Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner - Suppressing Evil"

With a soft hum, the Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner slowly rotated, and the crystal pearl at its top shone brightly.

A thick, pale blue beam of light shot out from the pillar, carrying a terrifying power that could suppress all things, and crashed into the Nine Purities Profound Heaven Grand Formation.

Wherever the beam of light passed, space distorted slightly, as if even the Principle of heaven and earth were being suppressed by this power.

"Block them for me!"

Ancestor Xuanyuan dared not be careless and activated the great formation with all his might.

The nine-colored spiritual light converged into a thick wall of light, blocking the pillar of light.

Boom!!!

The beam of light collided with the wall of light, bursting forth with dazzling light.

Click...

A faint cracking sound rang out.

Fine cracks spread across the wall of light at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With just one strike, cracks appeared in the great formation.

"How is this possible?!" Ancestor Xuanyuan was terrified.

His powerful array, activated at all costs, couldn't even withstand a single attack from the enemy?

The power of this Semi-Immortal Artifact is terrifying!

"Again."

Li Yunjing spoke calmly as he activated the spirit banner once more.

A second beam of cyan light followed immediately.

A deafening bang erupted.

This time, the wall of light shattered completely.

The beam of light continued its relentless assault on the main shield of the great formation.

The Nine Purities Profound Heaven Grand Formation shook violently, countless array patterns dimmed, and its spiritual light instantly dimmed by more than half.

"Puff!"

Ancestor Xuanyuan was mentally connected to the great formation. When the formation was damaged, he also suffered a backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ancestor!"

The Daozhen Sect disciples inside the mountain cried out in alarm, their panic finally becoming uncontrollable.

Even the patriarch couldn't stop it?

Wouldn't they be doomed then?

"Li Yunjing!" Ancestor Xuanyuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with resentment. "Do you really intend to exterminate us all? Aren't you afraid of being punished by Immortal Lord Qingxu?!"

It's the Immortal Lord Qingxu again.

Li Yunjing was fed up with listening to it.

"Besides summoning immortals, what else can you do?" he said coldly. "If you're so capable, have him come down and save you right now."

"Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner - Soul Sealing".

Li Yunjing changed his hand seals.

Countless Dao patterns flew out from Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner's body, weaving into a huge cyan net in the air, enveloping the great formation.

Runes flickered on the vast net, specifically designed to suppress the divine soul.

Ancestor Xuanyuan's expression changed drastically.

Of all the things he has cultivated to this point, his most precious possession is his divine soul.

Once entangled in the Soul-Sealing Net, one's soul is sealed, and most of one's cultivation is wasted.

"You want to seal my soul? Not so easy!"

Ancestor Xuanyuan gritted his teeth, opened his mouth and spat out a small golden seal.

That was his natal magic Law Treasure, the Xuanyuan Seal, a top-grade Spirit Treasure that had accompanied him in his cultivation for thousands of years.

"Break the Xuanyuan Seal!"

The golden seal swelled in the wind, growing to the size of a mountain, and slammed fiercely towards the Soul-Sealing Net.

bite.

The golden seal struck the Soul-Sealing Net, but it was as if it had sunk into a quagmire.

The Soul-Sealing Net slightly dented, then bound the golden seal, and no matter how much it struggled, it could not break free.

"My natal magic Law Treasure!" Ancestor Xuanyuan felt a chill in his heart.

Even his natal Spirit Treasure was sealed?

In the instant he was lost in thought, a glint of light flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes.

"Now."

"The Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner - Extinction."
