Upon hearing this, the three members of the Yuanfu fell silent.

Blazing Fire Yan Sui Sect, had a face as red as charcoal. His lips moved a few times, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Xue Li, a member of the Blood Devil Clan, stood above the sea of Xue Li, a cryptic smile playing on his lips. His cold eyes darted back and forth between Su Yao and the Yuanfu two, as if he were watching a good show.

Gui Wuque of the Greater Yin Sect, however, remained calm and said indifferently:

"Master Su certainly has a silver tongue."

Su Yao ignored his calmness and continued to sneer:

"Those old fogies who were already nearing the end of their lives, if it weren't for the Divine Lord's ascension to the throne extending your lifespan by a thousand years, you would probably have died long ago. How could you now be the Great True Person of the Four Divine Abilities and the Purple Mansion Peak with the Five Laws Perfection?"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the four people one by one:

Otherwise, you bunch of good-for-nothings would have already perished.

Upon hearing this, Yan Sui's face flushed red, Blazing Fire around his body suddenly surged, turning the surrounding area several miles into a Great Void expanse.

He laughed in his anger:

"You, Su Yao! No matter what, we are older than you and your seniors. Do you really think Yan Sui is easy to bully?"

His gaze swept over Gui Wuque, Ze Chongyuan, and Xue Li, and he said in a deep voice:

"Let's all join forces and not give him any opportunity to take advantage!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them moved at the same time.

Xue Li made the first move. He flipped his right hand, and a blood-red bone staff rose from the sea of blood. Embedded in the staff was a blood-red skull the size of a fist, with two ghostly green flames burning in the skull's eyes.

With a wave of his bone staff, the sea of blood surged like a tide, and countless distorted human faces emerged from it—this was the Divine Ability of the "Myriad Spirits Banquet" technique! At the same time, he flipped his left hand again, and a blood-red bronze mirror flew out from his sleeve. The mirror reflected Su Yao's figure, and a blood-red beam of light shot out from the mirror.

Seeing this, Su Yao raised his left hand, and the Nine Heavens Auspicious Cloud Banner unfolded in his palm. The banner's surface shone with a burst of rosy light, gradually capturing and dissolving the blood-red pillar of light.

At the same time, he Pear Blossom Return his right hand, and a clear sword light slashed into the sea of blood, shattering large pieces of the surging human faces.

But at this very moment--

Gui Wuque flipped his right hand and took out a round, silver-white disc. The disc was as if it had been formed from the cold moon for ten thousand years, and its surface was engraved with Greater Yin patterns and nine luminous lines.

He tossed the disc into the air, and it suddenly expanded, transforming into a bright moon hanging in the Great Void.

Nine silvery-white rays of light descended from the bright moon, enveloping the Great Void expanse of space within a radius of ten thousand miles.

Above that radiant light, the Greater Yin energy poured down like flowing water, dyeing the entire sky a silvery white.

Ze Chongyuan flipped his right hand and took out a grayish-white ceramic bowl, tilting it upside down.

Endless Fu Water gushed from the bowl, transforming into a vast swamp that turned the surrounding sea, spanning thousands of miles, into a marshland.

The lake is deep and dark, and amidst the surging water, one can vaguely see dragon-shaped creatures swimming.

Immediately afterwards, he Hand Seals with his left hand, Divine Ability the "Dawn Cold Grows" technique, and cold rain fell from the sky like thousands of ice needles.

Then the waters of the great marsh and the moon reflected in the marsh intertwined. Moonlight fell into the marsh, and the marsh reflected the moonlight. Where the two merged, a brand new Divine Ability quietly emerged—the water and moonlight intertwined like a ribbon, condensing the space of thousands of miles around the battlefield into a "Autumn Lake Reflecting the Moon" domain.

However, it was the Greater Yin Divine Ability, "Lake Autumn Moon," created out of thin air using these two Spirit Treasure.

Su Yao watched the four people rushing towards him, his expression unchanged.

He first unfurled the Nine Heavens Auspicious Cloud Banner, Hazy Clouds surged forth from its surface, enveloping him within a hundred miles.

The thick, sticky Hazy Clouds gradually slowed down the four people's movements.

Then he looked at the bright moon, the vast lake, and the moon reflected in the lake, and suddenly smiled:

"You've really gone to great lengths to deal with me, acquiring so many treasures and even using two Spirit Treasure artifacts to conjure up a Greater Yin Divine Ability technique called ' Lake Autumn Moon ' out of thin air."

His gaze swept between Gui Wuque and Ze Chongyuan:

"If I'm not mistaken, this item is to prevent me from escaping using the Rainbow Clouds, and also to allow one of you two to borrow this Divine Ability at any time, temporarily achieving the Five Laws Perfection state—one with Greater Yin Four Divine Abilities, and the other with the Fu Water Four Divine Abilities. By combining them with the Spirit Treasure to create a ' Lake Autumn Moon ' domain, one person can advance to the Five Laws Perfection state, while the other reverts to the Four Divine Abilities."

Gui Wuque smiled upon hearing this, "Master Su has a good eye."

Ze Chongyuan voice, "But what good will it do you if you know? Today is your death day."

Su Yao shook his head. "Then let's give it a try?"

Yan Sui laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Are you going to bring out the secrets of Qixia Temple? But that's too far away to help in a crisis! I don't believe you can bring out the secrets of Qixia."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of intense Blazing Fire surged from his body, followed by a surge of Bing Fire aura. This Bing Fire was neither fierce nor scorching, but it carried an extremely ancient and profound aura.

With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of Bing Fire and flew towards Su Yao. Bing Fire passed, the Hazy Clouds melted away like thin ice meeting the sun—this was the "Divine Northward Journey" divine ability of the Bing Fire Body Divine Ability!

Seeing this, Su Yao picked up the Pear Blossom Return, the tip of his sword pointing diagonally at the Bing Fire.

"Unexpectedly, he actually cultivated a Body Divine Ability called ' Divine Northward Journey,' which Bing Fire. Years ago, after the Human Sovereign's daughter Fire Virtue Bing Fire- Primordial Sovereign of Luminous Radiance, Human Sovereign defeat the Earl of Wind and Master of Rain under the Lord of War, she resided in the mortal realm, causing a prolonged drought and widespread suffering. Finally, seeing this, the Primordial Sovereign of Luminous Radiance could not bear it and went north, leaving behind barren lands for thousands of miles. Later, the Goddess reflected on her actions and used her own body to suppress the Northern Wasteland, thus creating this ' Divine Northward Journey. ' Once this divine Divine Ability is unleashed, it's like a drought demon sweeping the world; all waters dry up, and all clouds disperse. It's truly perfect for dealing with Hazy Clouds."

He paused, then changed the subject:

"But you've forgotten, this Nine Heavens Auspicious Cloud Banner is forged from a combination of Hazy Clouds and Rainbow Clouds."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly shook the Nine Heavens Auspicious Cloud Banner in his left hand. Endless rays of light surged out from the banner, merging with the Hazy Clouds.

With Hazy Clouds as the base and rosy clouds as the patterns, they intertwine to form a magnificent sea of clouds. The Bing Fire rushes into the sea of clouds, and although it can evaporate the misty Hazy Clouds, the rosy clouds do not die out and the Rainbow Clouds does not dissipate. As one layer evaporates, another layer is added to make up for it.

At the same time, Su Yao flicked his right hand, Pear Blossom Return thousands of cloud patterns on the sword lit up simultaneously. A clear sword light, like the breaking of dawn, went straight for Yan Sui's face.

Yan Sui's expression changed, and he retreated rapidly. At the same time, he flipped his right hand, and a crimson halo bloomed from his palm, which was the Blazing Fire Divine Ability "Contain the Scarlet Radiance".

The halo, like a blazing sun, refracted and scattered the sword light layer by layer.

But the Sword Intent was as clear as water, and its residual force still sent him flying back several miles.

Su Yao did not pursue.

He took a deep breath. In the past 150 years, he had not only perfected the five Divine Ability!

Then, deep within the Qi Sea, the first talisman, "Consume the Sun and Dine on Rosy Clouds," suddenly trembled.

The crimson talisman, like a blazing sun, transformed all the surging spiritual energy in the dantian into the purest form of cultivation.

Su Yao's Law Power surged by 30% in an instant, and the light around him became so intense that it seemed tangible.

His energy surged.

Yan Sui, Xue Li, Gui Wuque, and Ze Chongyuan all sensed the change at the same time.

The energy surged from Su Yao's body, rising wave after wave like a tide. Although it did not Spirit Transformation, the increase in its "quality" caused the four people's expressions to change simultaneously.

"His aura..." Xue Li whispered.

Su Yao gave them no time to react. The second talisman, "Luminous Sword Heart," suddenly lit up.

The orange talisman, like a golden eye, hung on the east side of the Qi Sea. From within the talisman, an extremely fine and clear Sword Intent surged forth, merging with Su Yao's Crimson Dawn Unstained Night-Illuminating Clear Light Sword intent.

With the blessing of "Luminous Sword Heart", the Sword Intent instantly rose to a completely new level.

Within the Sword Intent, a faint, ever-flowing stream of Azure Firmament energy could be seen.

His Sword Intent has also changed.

Su Yao held the Pear Blossom Return horizontally in front of him, and a burst of clear sword light erupted from the tip of his sword.

Within that sword light, the Azure Firmament aura and the Rainbow Clouds light intertwined and flowed.

His vital energy surged once again.

Gui Wuque's pupils suddenly contracted:

"This is bad, his Sword Intent... is getting stronger."

Yan Sui broke free from the sword light, his face ashen.

"This kid's suspicious, don't give him a chance to catch his breath!"

He suddenly raised his hand, simultaneously activating the two magical Divine Ability, "Store Bing Spirit" and "Samadhi True".

A crimson spiritual light rose from his body, and a Samadhi True Fire condensed in his palm.

The two Divine Ability intertwined, transforming into a pillar of fire interwoven with crimson gold and red, which crushed towards Su Yao.

Su Yao showed no Xue Li. He unleashed the "Surging Blood Sea" Divine Ability, sending a sea of blood crashing towards Su Yao like a giant wave! Immediately afterward, he used the "Transform into a Corpse Mountain" Divine Ability, where fragments of flesh and bones coalesced into a mountain of corpses, which crushed down on Su Yao.

At the same time, he activated the "Life -Slay Life for Sacrifice" Fate Divine Ability with his left hand, and a blood-red altar rose from the sea of blood, devouring the life force within a radius of several miles inch by inch.

Immediately afterwards, he activated the "Bathe in the Blood Sea" Body Divine Ability, merging his entire body into the sea of blood, transforming into a dark crimson current that lurked behind Su Yao.

Ze Chongyuan flipped his right hand and Divine Ability the "Steam Yunmeng" technique, turning the waters of the great marsh into a sky full of clouds and mist.

At the same time, the "Nurture the Marsh Embryo" Body Divine Ability was activated, and his whole body transformed into a watery marsh, with the Qi of the Fu Water flowing incessantly.

Gui Wuque flipped his left hand, and the disc spun again. The nine luminous threads of "Knock on the Azure Heavens" tightened simultaneously, like nine silver chains wrapping around Su Yao.

Immediately afterwards, the "Cannot Bear the Cold" technique was Divine Ability, and countless white light spots flew towards Su Yao.

At the same time, he activated his "Startle the Magpie's Homeland" Body Divine Ability, transforming himself into a beam of moonlight, appearing and disappearing in the Great Void.

Four Divine Ability, four layers of murderous intent, simultaneously crushed down from all directions.

Su Yao's expression remained unchanged.

With his left hand Hand Seals, "Rosy Cloud Feather Wanderer" appeared from his body, layers of black feathers swirling with rosy light, protecting himself completely.

At the same time, the Nine Heavens Auspicious Cloud Banner unfurled overhead, its surface radiating intense light, simultaneously blocking one layer of the four murderous intent.

With his right hand, he Pear Blossom Return a series of swift sword strikes, the sword light blooming like thousands of rosy blades, deflecting the four men's attacks layer by layer. Then, with a flick of his left hand, the Autumn Steed Sword was already in his grasp.

The Fu Water was deep and dark, forming a stark contrast with the clear sword light of Pear Blossom Return. He crossed his two swords, and Autumn Steed Sword swept out horizontally, the power of the Fu Water dispersing most of the sea of blood. At the same time, Pear Blossom Return slashed backhand, and a clear sword light spread out like moonlight, annihilating all the cold rain.

Then he raised his right hand, Transforming Azure Bracelet lit up. A beam of azure light surged from the bracelet, and the phantom of the Qingyang leaped onto it, its four hooves treading on the air, raising its head and neighing. The "Dispel Calamity" power of the Qingxuan gradually "disappeared" the sharpness of the overwhelming Greater Yin light.

At the same time, he made a hand Hand Seals with his left hand, and the rainbow light of "Color Pierces the Thoroughfare" burst forth from his palm, illuminating, penetrating, and clarifying the fire rain inch by inch.

His figure emerged from the Greater Yin energy and landed in the distance.

However, the four's attacks were too fierce. The sea of blood crashed onto the rosy light, scattering broken waves; the pillar of fire struck the rainbow light, hissing and extinguishing; the cold rain fell on the rosy light, disappearing without a trace—but the four's Law Power waxed and waned, and they attacked in turn. Under the relentless onslaught, Su Yao's rosy light was worn down layer by layer.

His face was already somewhat pale, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Yan Sui sneered:

"Su Yao, you are indeed exceptionally talented, but your strength alone is ultimately limited!"

Su Yao raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, then suddenly let out a soft breath.

With his left hand Hand Seals, he unleashed the Divine Ability "Heaven-Weaving Shuttle," sending out countless rays of light like countless threads, weaving, spreading, and stitching across the sky—in just a few breaths, a giant net of rosy light covering hundreds of miles descended from the heavens. Immediately following, the "Half Farewell to Heaven" domain expanded, the evening glow like blood, and countless rosy blades flowing like knives, "repelling" the four's attacks layer by layer.

His figure emerged from the giant net and landed in the distance.

Seeing this, the four joined forces again, unleashing a variety of Divine Ability and Spirit Treasure to trap Su Yao in the center.

But Su Yao has too many tricks up his sleeve.

The Hazy Clouds of the Nine Heavens Auspicious Cloud Banner, the Fu Water of the Autumn Steed Sword, the killing power of the Transforming Azure Bracelet Pear Blossom Return, the Qingxuan scroll of the Azure Bracelet, the gathering power of the Rosy Cloud Feather Wanderer, the penetrating power of the Color Pierces the Thoroughfare, the net of the Heaven-Weaving Shuttle, the domain of the Half Farewell to Heaven, the suppression of the Rosy Clouds Red City —his Body Divine Ability Spirit Treasure and magical treasures were endless, and with the addition of talismans, his Sword Intent and Law Power were inexhaustible.

Yan Sui grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.

He transmitted his voice to Gui Wuque:

Why doesn't his Law Power seem to run out?

Gui Wuque gritted his teeth and replied:

"I don't know either. Besides, he cultivated the body of the Ancient True Qi, but the Ancient True Qi Dharma Body shouldn't be this strong..."

Xue Li also sensed something was wrong:

"His Law Power is recovering too quickly. I devoured his life force, but his life force is only growing stronger!"

Ze Chongyuan said in a deep voice:

He still has a trump card up his sleeve.

Su Yao deflected all four attacks, his face pale, but his gaze remained deep and calm. He knew in his heart that without these seven talismans, he would have been defeated long ago.

"Consume the Sun and Dine on Rosy Clouds" increased his Law Power by 30%, "Luminous Sword Heart" elevated his Sword Intent to a higher level, "Drinking from the Marsh and Bearing the Abyss" expanded his Qi Sea several times over, "Raise Wood to Reach the Heavens" made his physical body indestructible, "Clear the Source and Discern the True" allowed him to see through the four people's weaknesses, and "Gather the Myriad and Return Them to One" allowed him to gather all his power into one.

These talismans are his true trump card, enabling him to fight four opponents alone.

Then Su Yao raised the Pear Blossom Return high above his head.

The third talisman, "Drinking from the Marsh and Bearing the Abyss," suddenly lit up.

The yellow talisman, like a deep, ancient well, amplified the Law Power in the Qi Sea several times over.

Su Yao's Law Power surged, and the intertwined rays of light and rainbows resembled a vast brocade, forcing the four people back several miles at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, the fourth talisman, "Raise Wood to Reach the Heavens," suddenly bloomed. The verdant talisman, like a giant tree supporting the sky, rose from the depths of the Qi Sea.

A very faint emerald green color emerged beneath Su Yao's physical body, like the roots of Jianmu deeply embedded in the earth, indestructible.

The sea of Xue Li crashed onto his body like waves striking rocks, scattering fragments but unable to move him in the slightest. Gui Wuque's nine luminous threads struck his body like striking a mountain, remaining completely still. The waters of Ze Chongyuan's great swamp seeped into his body like a tide overflowing a stone bank, but the bank remained intact after the tide receded.

Yan Sui's Samadhi True Fire slammed into Su Yao's body, the flames licking at his verdant body like the scorching sun baking Jianmu. Though it could char the surface, it could not damage the core.

Su Yao raised his hand and flicked it, causing the Samadhi True Fire to fall like embers.

The expressions on the faces of all four people changed drastically at the same time.

"His physical body!" Yan Sui exclaimed, "The Body of Jianmu of the Jia Wood path! How did this thing appear on him?!"
