Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 340 The Power of Ascension
The people in the air displayed their unique abilities. Countless crimson threads emerged from Pei Jianjia's sleeves, forming the shape of a lotus flower. This was one of the secret treasures of the Hehuan Sect—the "Red Lotus of Love Threads."

With the idea of ​​overcoming strength with gentleness, it met the Vajra-like fist head-on with the center of the flower, and then the petals began to close, trying to envelop it.

Unfortunately, that fist did not slow down; it remained indestructible and unstoppable!

It moved steadily and slowly across the sky, with only one goal in mind from beginning to end: the Heavenly Pillar.

Yu Wuxia had anticipated this. He flicked his finger at Xiao Buyi's true form, located between the eyebrows of the Dharma Image, and released a small, entirely vermilion bead.

It was actually just a red bean.

Compared to the Dharma image that stands tall between heaven and earth, the red bean appears so small that it is difficult to detect its presence with the naked eye.

But this inconspicuous little thing made Xiao Buyi feel a sense of crisis. His main body suddenly raised his hands, pinched the red bean between his two fingers, and just barely managed to hold it between his fingertips.

Unexpectedly, the red bean seemed to have no harmful power. It simply took root and sprouted quietly on his fingertip, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a living thing and disappeared into his flesh and blood.

Xiao Buyi frowned, because he discovered that the red bean had no physical form, but was a divine thought.

After the divine thought entered his body, it quickly traveled around, leaving behind streaks of red.

The Vajra image, originally dark gold, underwent subtle changes. Red veins, like blood vessels, were pulsating beneath the skin, as the red beans sprouted and grew rapidly after taking root.

The most crucial point is that it is a series of thoughts of "longing," which actually made Xiao Buyi, who had long been free of desires, waver slightly.

Longing couldn't hurt him, but it could slow down his punches. Together with the Red Lotus of Love, they managed to neutralize some of the Vajra Dharma Form's attacks.

But this is not enough!
As long as this punch lands on the pillar of heaven, it can still shatter it without leaving any room for error.

Jingle bell bell~
A gentle bell rang, and an endless swarm of insects surged forth like a tide, piling up from the ground into mountains, and like boiling ink, tumbling and surging into the air, finally landing beneath Lan Zhenxin's fair jade foot.

This scene is both beautiful and disgusting; it must be said that the magical powers of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cult are always visually striking.

The dense black tide bypassed Vajra Dharma Image's fist and rushed straight towards Dharma Image's body, attempting to achieve its goal through a roundabout method.

Lan Zhenxin stood barefoot on the black tide, swaying her Seven Poison Bracelet. Her movements were light and graceful. Suddenly, she began to dance a foreign dance.

Although there are no drums here, the sound of drums accompanies you, shaking your soul.

Zhuque suddenly asked Yunyi, "Is it beautiful?"

Yun Yi's gaze remained fixed on the battle, and without turning his head, he said, "It's not that it looks good, it's disgusting... it's really disgusting."

"I'm thinking it's best not to provoke the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect unless absolutely necessary. Lan Zhenxin's poison skills are far too convenient for killing people."

"I never intended to be her enemy."

"She's fickle. I'm afraid she might not be an enemy now, but suddenly she might be one later, and then she'll stab you in the back."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Zhuque said playfully, "Why don't you take her into your room? I'll explain to Miss on your behalf."

Her teasing immediately eased the tense atmosphere considerably, and Yun Yi laughed, "Then I'm the one who really has a death wish!"

The swarm of insects finally came into contact with the Vajra Dharma Image. The two collided without making a sound. The swarm of insects immediately spread up the Dharma Image and soon completely covered the other arm.

Lan Zhen knew her limitations and stopped pushing her limits with the insect swarm. She was determined that as long as she could restrain this one arm, she would have won. Xiao Buyi, of course, wouldn't let her succeed so easily and planned to manipulate the Dharma-image arm to shake off the annoying poisonous insects.

Lan Zhenxin's face turned deathly pale as she realized that she was powerless against the astonishing power of the Dharma Image.

Her black tide was originally connected to the ground, and now the mountain she used as a "base point" began to shake, as if it was about to be uprooted by a huge force.

"Wen Daoxian, what are you waiting for? Are you planning to sell me?" she snapped angrily.

The next moment, Wen Daoxian activated the "Zhou Tian Bei Dou Formation" of the Tianhai Treasure Ship, transforming himself into the formation's core and unleashing the magic weapon sword that made him famous.

Zhou Tianjian and Beidou Dao did not provoke Xiao Buyi, but instead fell in a cross pattern, landing squarely on the mountain that was about to be uprooted.

Then a surge of power flowed from the swords into the ground, and with the help of the black tide, they finally stabilized their bodies.

Over there, Xiao Buyi tried to pull his arm with his Dharma form, but it was tightly entangled by the black tide that clung to his bones like maggots, and he was unable to move for a while.

Once the Vajra Dharma Form's body was restricted, its offensive naturally slowed down again. Pei and Yu took advantage of this and used the "Eyebrow Painting Path" combined with the "Longing Path" to continuously suppress the fist.

For a moment, they were almost forced to retreat.

Zhuque sighed, "The Ascension Realm is indeed terrifying. Even with four Dao Integration Realm experts working together, they can only restrain the opponent, but they can hardly cause any damage to him."

The Envoy of Color shared the same sentiment: "It's a pity there isn't a fifth Dao Integration Realm cultivator here, otherwise we could definitely take this opportunity to severely injure him."

Yun Yi shook his head: "It seems like he has the upper hand, but in reality, it's because he's focused on destroying the Heavenly Pillar and doesn't intend to fight against someone in the Dao Integration Realm. I'm afraid he'll be driven to the brink of despair. I can hardly imagine how terrifying a desperate counterattack from an Ascension Realm cultivator would be."

Fortunately, the group had discussed this matter beforehand, and the key to dealing with Xiao Buyi was to "delay" him and not force him to fight to the death.

Therefore, Lan Zhenxin began to act maliciously, deliberately relaxing the control over the insect swarm slightly, giving Xiao Buyi a moment to catch his breath.

But just as he was about to break free from his restraints, Lan Zhenxin intensified the insect swarm's absorption, pulling the Dharma Form back into a state of immobility.

She smiled, appearing to be having a relaxed and enjoyable time, but the four of them knew perfectly well that they were now at a critical juncture of life and death.

The four Dao Integration Realm experts worked together, but they could only restrain the Vajra Dharma Form. They had no way to deal with Xiao Buyi's true form.

Moreover, they had all exhausted their strength and had no more energy left to use any other means.

Upon witnessing this scene, Yun Yi held his breath and remained vigilant, constantly on guard against the yet-to-appear Divine Calculator.

According to Yu Wuxia, once the Divine Calculator uses his supernatural powers to draw out the Heavenly Pillar, he will inevitably suffer a backlash and be unable to make a move for a while.

At this moment, Old Abacus was in a sorry state, leaning against a tree, looking up at the great battle in mid-air.

The "Path of Eyebrow Painting" is characterized by its red lotus of love, the "Path of Longing" by its deep-rooted red bean of love, the "Path of Ten Thousand Poisons" by its myriad poisons that devour the heavens, and the "Path of the Big Dipper" by its unity of sword and blade.

The four great roads, backed by the Heavenly Pillar, firmly restrained the Vajra Dharma Image, causing the heavens and earth to tremble for a moment.

Such a celestial phenomenon attracted countless eyes, and Ye Nianyi, who was at a distance, also witnessed it.

She was deeply worried about Yun Yi and Zhu Que, but remembering his instructions before she left, she gritted her teeth and entered the secret entrance to the Forget-Worry Spring.
