After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 891: Ancient Sky Array
That slight smile was caught by the Ninth Priest, who had been keeping a close eye on Lin Zhao. The Ninth Priest couldn't figure out what it meant for Lin Zhao to show such an expression when he was about to die.

After all, he hasn't been human for a long time. As an evil thought from another world for millions of years, he can simulate elements, human form, emotions, and even reproduce in a human way, but he still cannot be called human.

His ability is merely the simulation granted to him by the devouring power of desire.

The upper limit of this simulation is insurmountable, but the lower limit is pitifully low. He has forgotten how he used to generate all sorts of expressions.

But he still understands emotions.

Such as now.

Seeing Lin Zhao's expression, he felt a surge of intense pain that welled up in his heart; he knew it was anger.

"He can still laugh even when he's about to die." A ball of gray-black flame appeared in the Ninth Priest's hand.

"This was created by me in imitation of the Reincarnation Nirvana Flame of yesteryear. You can die by this move without any regrets." The Ninth Priest glanced at the gray-black flame in his hand that automatically transformed into the shape of a phoenix. Thinking of the pathetic state he was in when he was chased by the Ancestral Phoenix, his killing intent toward Lin Zhao grew even stronger.

"What Zuhuang gave me back then, I will now repay you tenfold."

Lin Zhao was overjoyed to have escaped the elemental array.

She had already secretly discussed this with Qu Shu beforehand.

She gave Qu Shu many talismans for the Ancient Formation of the Withered Heaven, and previously only had Qu Shu oversee the formation.

The purpose of this arrangement was ostensibly to provide cover, but in reality, it was to have Qu Shu secretly set up these talismans.

Even if all the younger generation's cultivation levels were combined, they might not be a match for the Nine Priests. Their only hope lay in the formation.

The Heavenly Withering Ancient Formation remains the most powerful and effective formation that Lin Zhao currently possesses.

Lin Zhao dared not say that the Heavenly Withering Ancient Formation he set up as a peak Immortal King could deal a fatal blow to the Ninth Priest.

But making him unhappy is definitely within my power.

As long as she can make the other person unhappy, she can use anything else she has.

Lin Zhao retrieved the Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Decree Sword, summoned the Heavenly Punishment Brush, and made a stroke according to the direction he and Qu Shu had agreed upon.

The tiny red dots brought by this stroke are like an inconspicuous star in a dazzling galaxy.

But the moment it appeared, night fell.

An unparalleled aura of slaughter rose from all directions, and the mysterious ancient runes that had been deliberately suppressed by the talisman paper slowly appeared. They began to move slowly, yet enveloped the nine priests at an indescribable speed.

The nine priests smelled a familiar scent.

"The Heavenly Withering Ancient Formation?!" The Ninth Priest had experienced the power of this thing before. After figuring out the meaning of the surrounding runes, he unleashed a palm strike without hesitation to prevent the formation from taking shape.

The Heavenly Withering Ancient Formation, cast by a Celestial King, already possesses the power commensurate with its name.

Exhausted, the sky withered; his soul departed for eternity.

This thing can draw upon the power of heaven and earth to continuously suppress those trapped in the formation.

Moreover... the Ninth Priest dared not gamble on whether Lin Zhao had mastered the final Heavenly Withering Ancient Formation after the Demon Ancestor's improvements.

That thing, once used, is truly a killing formation.

Even the person who cast this formation cannot stop the operation of the Heavenly Withering Ancient Formation, unless the person trapped in the Heavenly Withering Ancient Formation dies.

That's how the Five Priests were completely wiped out by the Demon Ancestor.

The complete version of this thing can kill five priests, so it can also kill itself.

The Ninth Priest never took risks. So, after realizing that Lin Zhao was using the Heavenly Withering Ancient Formation, he relentlessly bombarded the core of the runes, regardless of whether it was the complete version or not.

However, the one who set up the formation clearly anticipated his reaction. When the gray energy flowed into these runes, a layer of white light flowed across the surface of the runes. The light was slightly cracked due to the terrifying and powerful attack of the gray energy flow. But the next moment, it opened a mouth in a strange way and sucked the gray energy flow into it.

"You?!" The Ninth Priest never expected that Lin Zhao's Seven Star Palace power could be attached to talismans!

Moreover, when did Lin Zhao's Seven Star Palace power become stronger than his own as a priest in attracting evil thoughts from other worlds?

Amidst surprise and uncertainty, the Ninth Priest, refusing to believe in superstition, launched attacks in other directions.

The result was exactly the same.

Lin Zhao's aura also continued to rise as these air currents were drawn in.

She herself had reached the critical point between being a Celestial King and a Celestial Emperor.

However, the amount of immortal energy required for this critical state is extremely terrifying.

The Ninth Priest naturally noticed Lin Zhao's change as well. He was so angry that his teeth itched, and he sneered, "You want to use me as a stepping stone to advance to the Immortal Emperor level? Lin Zhao, you are not qualified!"

Lin Zhao raised her eyes, ignoring his words, and looked at the Tianhuang Clan members: "Take your people and leave first."

The members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had no doubt about Lin Zhao, nodded, and were about to leave.

The White Tiger Clan captain hesitated for a moment: "Can Lin Zhao really defeat this evil thought from another world?"

Jin Ya gave him a cold look: "We are seriously injured now. Even if Lin Zhao can't beat us, we can't help her. We should leave here as soon as possible and see if we can ask for outside help."

The White Tiger Clan captain understood this principle. He glanced again at Lin Zhao, who was confronting the priest in the void as a Celestial King, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

At the very least, he didn't have the courage to confront the other party alone, knowing full well that the other party was a priest.

The captains of the Xuanwu and Zhuque clans also had complicated expressions.

They didn't share the mindset of the White Tiger Clan captain.

They simply realized that Lin Zhao was far superior to them.

They all put in their best effort to strike, but were pinned down by the opponent with a single hand, while Lin Zhao managed to drag them into danger.

Whether in terms of raw strength or mastery of formations, Lin Zhao is superior to them.

At this moment, these privileged individuals from extraordinary powers finally understood what it meant to be humiliated and to realize that there are always people more capable than oneself.

Lin Zhao had no idea what these young masters were thinking. She simply felt that once the Ninth Priest became wary, he would indeed be quite difficult to deal with.

She could only absorb power from the tiny amount of energy leaked from the Ninth Priest.

But this is far from enough to get a promotion.

Lin Zhao twitched her lips, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes.

The cultivation world is now in imminent danger, and her Daoist partner is on the verge of death at the edge of the Heavenly God's seal. She has to try some extreme methods.

When it comes to cultivating the Tao, sometimes it's said that you can't truly live without being obsessed!
Lin Zhao unfurled his phoenix wings and charged directly into the formation, slicing through one of the Ninth Priest's arms with a single sword strike.

Upon seeing this, the Ninth Priest instinctively retaliated, unleashing a gray aura.

Because Lin Zhao dodged quickly, only half of the aura landed on her; the remaining half was absorbed by the runes and transformed into nutrients for her advancement.

"Lin Zhao, you actually ran in here by yourself?" Upon seeing this, the Ninth Priest didn't know whether to praise the other party's courage or laugh at the other party's lack of brains.

"Do you think that by barging in and forcing me to take action, the energy you absorb will guarantee your survival before you advance to the Immortal Emperor realm?"
