Chapter 546 Solution
A dark red staff appeared in the old man's hand, with red energy flowing around it, faintly gathering into a ferocious beast head.

Lin Zhao recognized it as the leader of the Bi'an.

It is also a mythical beast that possesses dragon blood.

With the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear lying horizontally in his hand, Lin Zhao swung the spear and aimed it at Elder Xuan's head.

Elder Xuan caught the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear with the long staff, but at the same time, because he felt the ancestral dragon aura on the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear, the Bi'an around the staff retreated.

This surprised Elder Xuan. His weapon, the Bixie Hunyuan Cudgel, was also a celestial artifact. Although its quality did not reach the level of being ranked among the top ten celestial artifacts in the Ancestral Dragon Plane, Elder Xuan was confident that it would not be much inferior to the tenth-ranked celestial artifact.

In particular, this Bixie Hunyuan Staff was truly forged by fusing the divine soul of a ferocious beast, Bixie. In every battle, the lingering divine soul left behind by the beast Bixie always provided him with extraordinary assistance and a considerable deterrent effect on his enemies.

This was the first time that the Bixie Hunyuan Staff had been suppressed by the opponent's weapon in a single exchange.

There are two situations where weapons are suppressed: either the difference in the quality of the weapons themselves is too great, or the difference in the skill level of the users is too great.

He was clearly inferior to Lin Zhao, yet the Bixie Hunyuan Staff still feared the spear in Lin Zhao's hand, indicating that the spear was probably a transcendent immortal artifact.

Transcending the realm of immortal artifacts... isn't that just a divine weapon?!

Among the ancient dragon clan, there are descendants who can wield divine weapons...

The more cards Lin Zhao revealed, the less Elder Xuan dared to let her go.

The brief moment of distraction resulted in Lin Zhao striking him in the face with a spear. Even with his Tribulation Transcending stage physical body being incredibly strong, the spear still managed to tear his old face apart.

Fortunately, the physical body of someone in the Tribulation Transcending stage recovers at an astonishing speed. In just a few breaths, the injuries Lin Zhao sustained were completely healed.

However, the pain from before still reminded Elder Xuan that the woman before him could truly harm him.

Elder Xuan gripped the Bixie Hunyuan Staff, infusing it with spiritual energy. The staff traced a bloodthirsty arc as it slammed towards Lin Zhao.

This attack was too fast; relying solely on the speed inherent to the Fusion Stage and the enhancement from the dragon wings, Lin Zhao knew he absolutely couldn't dodge it.

The difference between the Tribulation Transcending Stage and the Integration Stage is comprehensive, not just in terms of spiritual energy foundation.

Lin Zhao had no intention of taking the attack head-on. He activated the Mysterious Shadow Movement under his feet, and with the support of the Dragon Body, Lin Zhao's speed had reached the limit of the Fusion Stage.

However, even with this much effort, he could only barely dodge Elder Xuan's spear.

However, even such a simple dodge was enough to make things difficult for Elder Xuan.

If you can dodge it once, it means you can dodge it twice. Elder Xuan's gaze fell on the purple-gold flames burning on Lin Zhao's body, and he said, "Is it these strange flames that helped you avoid being affected by the Yin-Yang Pearl? It's a pity that you can activate such dodging a few more times. My spiritual energy foundation is far superior to yours. Even if I just drag it out, I can wear you down."

Lin Zhao laughed and said, "A Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcending has to rely on dragging things out to defeat an Early Stage of Integration?"

The provocation in his words was unmistakable. Elder Xuan paused for a moment, his eyes slowly turning fierce. The Bixie Hunyuan Cudgel flew out of his hand, and with a slight sway, thousands of Hunyuan Cudgel shadows surrounded Lin Zhao.

At the same time, the light of the Yin-Yang Pearl became even denser. Although Lin Zhao was unaffected, the speed of the others in the Immortal Sect, including Ning Wengui, in resisting the people of the Imperial Dynasty was somewhat slowed down.

Just as all the Hunyuan staffs were about to strike him, Lin Zhao coldly shouted, "Now! Drop the talisman!"

The members of the immortal sect activated the talismans in their sleeves. The talismans fell into the void, and the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled. The Chaos Pearl also sensed something and its light was weakened.

"what is this?"

When Elder Xuan saw the red light appearing beneath Lin Zhao and the others intertwine to form a mysterious phoenix totem of anti-corruption, a bad premonition suddenly arose within him. The next moment, pieces of jet-black feathers appeared from the void, transforming into jet-black chains. They bound the members of the Imperial Dynasty's team and gently twisted them. The bound Imperial Dynasty members didn't even have time to scream before they became nourishment for the Heavenly Withering Ancient Formation.

Elder Xuan, whose cultivation was the strongest, repelled the feathers that were trying to bind him with a single palm strike. However, he discovered that his cultivation seemed to be suppressed little by little by something, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

"This is impossible... this must be..."

How could someone at the Integration Stage possibly use a formation capable of countering a Perfected Tribulation Stage cultivator right under his nose?
No... it's not a fusion period!

Elder Xuan raised his head, his heart filled with regret. He looked at the Jiaolong Clan and Black Dragon Clan members who had appeared in the void around him, and gritted his teeth as he looked at Lin Zhao: "I really underestimated you!"

After saying that, he took out a teleportation scroll and prepared to flee.

Lin Zhao summoned the Heavenly Punishment Brush and drew a stroke in the direction of Elder Xuan. With this stroke, the teleportation scroll exploded in front of Elder Xuan.

"You!" Elder Xuan was shocked and retreated step by step when he met the woman's sharp gaze. He had completely forgotten that he was a Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending stage, while the woman in front of him was only an early stage of the Integration stage.

"You are the first person to experience the full power of the improved version of the Heavenly Dry Ancient Formation."

Lin Zhao stood in the air, somewhat disappointed as he watched the Heavenly Withering Ancient Array—the Heavenly Withering Demon Imprisoning Array—formed by hundreds of ninth-level spirit talismans, suppress a cultivator with a cultivation level of seven billion spiritual energy to around two billion after unleashing its power.

These hundreds of level-nine spirit talismans are almost half of the level-nine spirit talismans she has. In other words, she can only use this trump card once more, and she will need the help of at least a dozen Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

As she expected, activating this formation should be able to suppress a Tribulation Transcending cultivator to the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Although it didn't meet expectations, the effect was already terrifying enough. A formation that hadn't even reached level ten actually trapped a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending Realm with decent cultivation. If this got out, it would definitely shock the entire cultivation world.

This is the Heavenly Withering Ancient Formation.

The next moment, Lin Zhao looked up at the Yin-Yang Bead and slowly stretched out his hand.

"you dare!"

Seeing that Lin Zhao had not only suppressed their team members, but also wanted to take away the Emperor's famous immortal artifact, Elder Xuan could no longer sit still. Ignoring the fact that his spiritual energy had been suppressed to less than half, he flew up to retrieve the Yin-Yang Pearl.

Lin Zhao glanced back at him and threw a punch.

Lacking a strong spiritual foundation for protection, in a pure contest of physical strength, even ten Elder Xuans would be no match for Lin Zhao, whose physical body could rival that of a fully grown ferocious beast.

Lin Zhao's punch sent him flying. If it weren't for the chains formed by the black feathers deep within the Heavenly Dry Demon Imprisonment Array, he could have flown out of this area.

Lin Zhao was not a weapon refiner after all, and after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out how to take back the Yin-Yang Pearl. It was Ning Wengui who told her how to remove the curse on the Yin-Yang Pearl, and only then could Lin Zhao reluctantly put the Yin-Yang Pearl into her Qiankun bag.

After obtaining the Yin-Yang Pearl, Lin Zhao's gaze was fixed on Elder Xuan.

"Kill him?" Tian Mengyao asked expectantly from the side.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Zhao nodded. Existences at the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcending were completely trapped by the Heavenly Dry Ancient Formation. They couldn't control them on their own, so the only option was to kill them.

However, the physical body of a Great Perfection Tribulation Transcending cultivator is still very useful. After Lin Zhao burned Elder Xuan's soul, he put away Elder Xuan's physical body.

Then, her tone became lighter, "Now, we can begin our exploration."

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted. With their internal conflict resolved, they could finally take the first step towards what was said to be the most terrifying exploration since the tomb's existence began.
