Chapter 896 Eight Yang Immortal Emperor
Gu Yan really had no choice but to fight like this, since any palm strike she threw might send Lin Zhao to his death.

Moreover, after being pierced by the Silver Dragon Spear, Lin Zhao only trembled slightly at first, then curled up into a shrimp-like shape, and then showed no further reaction.

Gu Yan multitasked, taking a moment to assess Lin Zhao's condition.

This feeling was one of surprise.

"how……"

The mist formed by the eight priests approached her face: "You dare to be distracted while fighting me? Gu Yan, die!"

Gu Yan snapped out of her daze. The eight priests' crimson mist was right in front of her, yet she could no longer move it an inch.

A slender silver spear pierced through the Eighth Priestess's body, the tip of which was only a hair's breadth away from her neck.

The other party acted perfectly.

The Eighth Priest lowered his head, looking at the silver dragon spear that pierced his body, and uttered incredulously, "This is..."

Despite being severely injured, he transformed back into human form to gather his strength. Turning around, he saw Lin Zhao, dressed in blue with her dark hair casually draped over her shoulders.

"How could you possibly have recovered already?!"

The Silver Dragon Spear has the ability to destroy living beings and break formations. Lin Zhao was pierced solidly through the abdomen, and it will probably take a long time for his physical body to recover!
Lin Zhao's eyes flashed with a purple-gold light: "The dragon's weapon did not cause me any real damage."

In other words, the Silver Dragon Spear was useless against her; it was just that the power of the spear itself, thrown by the Immortal Venerable, almost killed her.

After finally stabilizing her condition, Lin Zhao discovered that she had actually benefited from the misfortune. This shot had removed too much energy from the evil thoughts from the other world within her body. How exactly did it remove them?
The force of the bullet was used to deflect the impact, and some was used to repair physical injuries. Lin Zhao could handle the rest himself.

After stabilizing his condition, and considering the methods of the Eighth Priest and the Ancient Dragon Queen's somewhat unreliable fighting style, Lin Zhao had no choice but to disguise himself and deliver the most fatal blow to the Eighth Priest.

Even if she stabilized her cultivation, Lin Zhao estimated that she was only around the Eighth Yang Immortal Emperor level, which was completely incompatible with the Eighth Priest at the Immortal Venerable level. She could only launch a surprise attack.

Fortunately, it worked well.

Lin Zhao tossed the Silver Dragon Spear to the Ancient Dragon Clan's matriarch: "Thank you for your protection, senior."

The matriarch of the Ancient Dragon Clan was somewhat embarrassed by what she was being said, after all, it was she who had shot Lin Zhao during the recovery phase.

If it weren't for Lin Zhao, but an ordinary Immortal Emperor, that spear would have crippled him, if not killed, let alone allowed him to recover and rejoin the battle so quickly.

How are you feeling now?

Lin Zhao moved her wrist: "Very good."

Behind her, eight purple suns slowly rose.

"Eight Yang Immortal Emperor?" The Ancient Dragon Clan's matriarch was somewhat surprised. This was not because of Lin Zhao's terrifying advancement speed, but because he had absorbed a Ninth Priest at the Immortal Venerable level, yet could only reach the Eight Yang Immortal Emperor level.
However, for some reason, even as a Five-Yang Immortal Venerable, I felt a sense of apprehension when facing Lin Zhao, the Eight-Yang Immortal Emperor.

Does this mean that, under certain circumstances, Lin Zhao, the Celestial Emperor, could pose a threat to him?
This might have given the Ancient Dragon Clan's matriarch goosebumps instantly.

The idea that a Celestial Emperor could pose a threat to a Celestial Venerable is laughable. Even ten thousand Nine-Yang Celestial Emperors wouldn't necessarily be a match for a One-Yang Celestial Venerable, yet Lin Zhao, an Eight-Yang Celestial Emperor, could give me this feeling.

The matriarch of the ancient dragon clan did not believe that her senses were wrong.

That means Lin Zhao, this Eight Yang Immortal Emperor, is probably... extremely terrifying.

Just because she shot the eight priests into human form, the Ancient Dragon Clan's matriarch no longer dared to treat her with the same attitude she had towards her juniors.

Lin Zhao naturally noticed the change in the other party's attitude, but didn't say anything. After all, she, the Eight Yang Immortal Emperor, had indeed suppressed a lot of immortal energy to compress it to this level. If she hadn't suppressed it, she wouldn't be far from becoming an Immortal Venerable.

Lin Zhao laughed and said, "This junior dares to ask to cooperate with you, senior, to take down this fellow."

The Ancient Dragon Clan matriarch breathed a sigh of relief: "With the two of us working together, it shouldn't be a big problem." The Eighth Priest had already felt despair when the eight purple suns appeared behind Lin Zhao.

An ordinary Eight Yang Immortal Emperor is indeed someone he can easily manipulate, but Lin Zhao, this Eight Yang Immortal Emperor...

Even if they can't do anything to him, he's no longer the pushover he used to be!

Moreover, to put it bluntly, Lin Zhao's brain is far superior to Gu Yan's!

He could fight Gu Yan to a draw or even make her suffer when his direct combat strength was inferior to Gu Yan's, but in Lin Zhao's hands...

The eight priests' figures slowly began to fade into the background.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao summoned the Heavenly Punishment Brush in his hand, and with a stroke, formed a talisman, further strengthening the Heavenly Withering Ancient Formation.

With a scream from the Eighth Priest, his ethereal body was forced back into solid form, and the annihilation effect of the Heavenly Withering Ancient Formation slowly intensified.

"Lin Zhao! Don't be so smug. So what if you defeat me today? You are still no match for the High Priest. Even the God Venerable is no match for the High Priest!" The Eighth Priest took a deep breath, his eyes turning bloodshot.

Under the suppression of the Heavenly Dry Ancient Formation and Gu Yan's full restraint, he knew that even self-destruction was a futile endeavor.

But even if he's gone, he'll never let Lin Zhao have an easy time!

Thinking of this, the Eighth Priest laughed heartily, his body transforming into a stream of blood-red liquid that plunged straight into Lin Zhao's body.
Lin Zhao grunted and quickly cast several sealing formations on himself.

Gu Yan moved back to her side: "How are you?"

Lin Zhao sensed the state within his body: "The eight priests have sent all their power, including Benyuan, into my divine palace."

Gu Yan frowned and channeled her power into Lin Zhao's body.
This sounds like a good thing, but...

"This guy... he wants to force me to become a Venerable now." Lin Zhao shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yan asked with some concern, "Is there a problem with becoming a Venerable?"

"If I were to become a Venerable now, my soul strength would not be sufficient. If I were to become a Venerable entirely by relying on evil thoughts from another world, my soul would be corrupted, and I would truly become an appendage of the gods." Lin Zhao then placed a few more talismans on himself.

"I will temporarily seal the energy of the eight priests within my divine palace, which should last for about three months. I hope that within these three months, I can find a way to bring my divine soul strength to the Immortal Venerable realm."

Three months?
Gu Yan instinctively said, "How is this possible?"

Lin Zhao smiled bitterly: "My skill in talismans and my cultivation level can only support me to this point. Moreover, I cannot make a move within these three months. Once the immortal energy dissipates and breaks the seal, there will be no way to stop it even if I want to."

Gu Yan gritted her teeth in hatred upon hearing this: "That guy!"

Lin Zhao smiled and comforted her, "There's still room for maneuver. Let's see how things go."

"But if we consider the time, there are only four months left in the competition. If you can't make a move for three months, what about the Heavenly Phoenix Clan?"

"It's alright. Even without this, I didn't plan to take action this time." Lin Zhao coughed.

This cough alerted Gu Yan to something was wrong: "Girl, is there something you haven't told me?"

Noticing the change in Gu Yan's attitude and self-identification, Lin Zhao waved his hand: "It's a small problem. I'm an alchemist and a spirit talisman master. I can handle it myself."

Gu Yan looked at her with a complicated expression.

At this moment, the once-famous and proud matriarch of the ancient dragon clan was completely convinced of the superiority of a junior.

Whether in terms of ability or character.
