The Path to Immortality Begins with the Life-Extending Lamp

Chapter 172 The Final Showdown
In the midst of the vast battlefield, five dragons encircled the sun, their fierce roars shaking the heavens. Continuous precious light manifested in the void, as if layers of frost had formed.

Four-cornered dragons, Azure Cloud Dragon, Sea Mirage Dragon, Wave-Treading White Dragon, and Eight Treasures Coiled Dragon chased each other head to tail, circling high in the sky. Suddenly, dragon flames surged forth, drawing in rolling thunderclouds that shattered the layers of Dao patterns in the void.

When such a colossal, untamed creature attacks from afar, no amount of runes or magical barriers can withstand its tearing.

Just after the disciple of the Three Emperors solemnly threw out three command flags, sand and gravel suddenly appeared amidst the desolate red sand. The essence of the earth veins, summoned by the divine script, gathered and formed into mountain-moving warriors. The spirit of the Black Iron Mysterious Mountain was bound, and when the Daoist of the Three Emperors reached out and grabbed it, a Black Mountain Giant was born in an instant!
Five dragons struck high, stirring up red clouds, fire clouds, water clouds, thunder clouds... Dragon breath and magical power clashed within the fiery clouds, seemingly about to tear up the land for more than ten miles.

On the earth, however, Black Mountain Giants wielded spears and Mountain-Moving Warriors raised shields. In an instant, spirits appeared in the void, water spirits appeared in the clouds, and crow spirits appeared in the fire... Within Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, countless spirits were bound together by the True Text of the Three Sovereigns and instantly transformed into an overwhelming army at their command.

When the two clashed, the battlefield was filled with the deafening shouts of battle. Though your claws and teeth are powerful, my weapons are equally strong. They went back and forth, neither giving way to the other.

As the battle raged on, the two Taoists, one with his hands behind his back, leaped into the clouds, while the other strode across the earth. After unleashing several divine powers, they looked at each other and stopped.

After fifty rounds without a clear winner, an uninvited guest arrived.

To the north of this red sand land, a thin mist drifted in. The mist was very cold, and even the Dharma Eye could not see clearly what was happening inside. However, this disciple of the Three Emperors recognized it at a glance. It was an uncertain Dharma Domain that had reached the level of a certainty.

The two Dao Seeds glanced northwards simultaneously, clashed several times, and then retreated, leaving only their dragon seedlings and spirit beasts to fight each other.

However, seeing that the person behind the thin mist still recklessly tried to approach,

The man strolling in the sky snorted coldly and with a flick of his palm, he slammed down the clouds.

The void was suddenly sealed, and the giant claw of the Azure Dragon swept down from the sky, tearing apart the cloud-shrouded domain in an instant. The master within the domain had nowhere to escape. With a clear shout, a six-nine primordial chariot immediately burst out from the haze.

The Rebirth Ritual, the Primordial Light Ritual, the Mountain Spirit Altar Ritual, the Ascending Altar Ritual, the Paper Clothing Ritual… This chariot, crafted with abundant resources, simultaneously rises with boundless ritual restrictions, its precious light shining high, embodying both the authority of the Xuanmen altar and the ominous image of an ancient war chariot.

With a push of his right hand, Li Qing saw the six fire-repelling pearls, water-repelling pearls, wind-repelling pearls, night-shining pearls, beauty-stabilizing pearls, and glass pearls on the royal carriage light up together. These were the six treasures from overseas known as "Hun Yuan," and they drew up the Hun Yuan treasure light for thirty-three zhang.

At that time, purple smoke swirled beside the imperial carriage. The Nine-Flower Spirit Carriage, with its tassels made of spirit paper, seemed to have penetrated the principles of Yin and Yang, and there was a shrine in the center that was the size of a painted wall. Paper lanterns hung high at the four corners, and at the gate, the soul bell rang. It was an extraordinary imperial object.

The royal chariot flew in and collided with the giant azure dragon claw emerging from the clouds. The former's precious light condensed and, after the strike, all the restrictions rose high, transforming into a hundred-foot-long white light that soared into the sky, circled once, and returned to the Dao Lord's palm.

The latter was overflowing with dragon might and boundless energy, but after being struck, it quickly retreated.

Lord Huanlong raised an eyebrow, suddenly turned around, and cast his gaze into the thin layer of clouds and mist.

"Hmm? Is this soul-stirring power the rebirth sedan chair of the White Bone Path?"

He had seen the former Yin Goddess of the White Bone Path, Lady White Bone, make a move. When the Rebirth Carriage was sacrificed, it was the day when all souls wailed between the Yin and Yang worlds. Only such treasures of the Soul Path and the Yin-Yang Path could ignore the difference in magical power, shatter the primordial spirit within with a single blow, and easily repel that giant claw.

The Taoist priest in the clouds raised his hand to hold a treasure, which was a three-inch-long golden chariot. He wore the Taiyi Descent Cloud Robe and a seven-star lotus crown, which was quite strange.

The robes of the Taiyi Sect, the laurel wreath of the Seven Star Pavilion, the ghost palanquin of the White Bone Sect...

How could treasures from different legal systems appear in the same person?

Of course it was stolen!
"Heh, looks like he's not someone to be trifled with either!"

The Dragon Lord smirked and made a joke before raising his palm and grabbing. Instantly, the wind and clouds in the void changed dramatically. A tremendous gravitational force, of unknown origin, rose from beneath his palm, stirring up sand and dust for miles around, and in the blink of an eye, it sucked the vast expanse of mist and rain into the battlefield.

He wanted to bring this outsider into the game and achieve his goal in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Li Qing held the royal carriage in his hand and stepped into the domain of law. He immediately sensed the intention. Just as he turned his head, the Three Emperors' Dao Sons, whose eyes were covered by black cloth, made hand seals and launched an attack on the Dragon-Taming Lord.

"Just now I heard the Daoist voice, and four people have already been eliminated."

"I have two purple coins in my palm, and the Dragon Lord is incredibly powerful, so he must have more than one under his command. In other words, the three people here probably already own half of the coins?"

Looking around at the outer battlefield where the giant sea dragon and the hundred mountain spirits were locked in fierce combat, Li Qing began to calculate in his mind. With a few thoughts running through his mind, he had a general idea of ​​the situation on the field.

Whether they ultimately win by the number of purple coins or by defeating all the cultivators in one fell swoop, this Dragon-Taming Lord is an insurmountable obstacle in their path!

Just as that palm strike stirred up the wind and clouds, the thin mist surrounding Li Qing instantly dimmed, and his domain of power receded. In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the void, and no matter how fierce the wind was, stirring up the red sand, it had no effect on Li Qing.

The mysterious domain of magic turned in the clouds and disappeared into the void. The next moment, Li Qing reappeared from ten miles away. Green smoke swirled and white mist gathered. A woman appeared behind Li Qing, her fair hand slightly raised and placed on Li Qing's arm.

Linglong Changzhu is now both Li Qing's right-hand man and his henchman, and can even often take charge of the Soul Banner on his behalf. The two are almost like one, and their tacit understanding is extraordinary.

"Brother Dao is quite arrogant. The moment we met, you launched two deadly attacks."

"Such a gift is too good for this humble Taoist priest to accept!"

After fleeing far away, Li Qing looked up again and saw the majestic man walking in the air, exuding a hundred kinds of power.

Having traveled from overseas to the South, Li Qing had long heard of the name of this Dragon-Raising Lord, who was unparalleled in the East Sea. Today, however, he was about to fight against him, and even he was extremely excited.

The outer dragon species and the hundred spirits fought fiercely, the five dragons forming a ring, tearing the hundred spirit warriors to pieces with overwhelming force. These were mature sea dragon species, each one extremely extraordinary, possessing the power to traverse the sea.

The Three Sovereigns' Dao Child always seemed to have a bitter expression on his face. He held up three decrees in his right hand, and the Dao patterns on the decrees seemed to leap like golden thunder, constantly spreading to the sky, as if he wanted to turn the entire world into a tool for carrying on the Dao...

"Do you think?"

"Li Erlang, no one dares to leave their back to you so easily!"

The Dragon Lord stood with his arms crossed above the clouds, whereupon five dragon energies swept across the sky, transforming into five "divine wheels" behind him, which then arrogantly looked down upon the two.

He was never afraid of the number of his opponents, but this Li Erlang was different.

Two years ago, on the day the Heavenly Palace entered the constellation of the Sun, he had witnessed the intersection of the "Eleven Luminaries Heavenly Palace" and the person in front of him.

The arrogant "Chenxing" had suffered a great loss at his hands... The Sword Lord "Taibai" was banished to Youtian by him, and his fate is still unknown... "Yinghuo" and his ancestor tested him face to face, but they could not figure out whether the Yin Ancestor could still hold up a corner of the Southern Kingdom, so they had no choice but to retreat and avoid him...

It is inhabited by a fierce ghost that can fight against the Yin Gods and possesses forbidden methods that can kill the Yin Gods!
A review of Li Erlang's methods reveals that he is tolerant, enjoys quiet contemplation, and excels at drawing his sword before striking a fatal blow...

Upon hearing the Dragon Lord mention his own name, Li Qing was initially somewhat puzzled, but then turned to look at the battlefield.

The situation of this Third Emperor's son seems to be quite bad!
"Then, does this fellow Daoist from the Northern Sect mind if I, Li, interfere?"

Li Qing turned to the Third Emperor's disciple and asked him softly.

The latter remained silent, only nodding slightly. In his movements, he changed the direction of the spread of the large Dao patterns in the void, leaving a clear area for several miles around Li Qing as a sign of goodwill!

At this point, having one more ally is always a good thing. "..."

Seeing Li Erlang's primordial energy circulate and manifest his profound primordial energy, summoning the Soul Banner in the manner of a disciple of the Xuanmen sect, the Dragon Lord's expression flickered again.

He wouldn't be fooled by this person's appearance. He may seem like just an ordinary Taoist priest, but who knows how many forbidden killing moves he might be hiding in his sleeve?
After giving Li Erlang a deep look, the Dragon Lord changed his tune and instead offered a word of advice:
"Why don't you join forces with me?"

"This blind Taoist priest is no good. He cultivates the method of the Divine Wheel of the Domain, keeping his mouth shut and his divine eyes closed. But once he breaks the rules, it is as if he is aided by divine power. Once his domain is opened, the gods will naturally appear..."

"Even I wouldn't dare say I could easily defeat him."

The Dragon Lord pointed out with his finger, using the Azure Nether Divine Light to directly target the Third Emperor's Child, seemingly to force him to reveal his true form.

This Daoist Yi, who feigns blindness and muteness, is renowned far and wide in the north of Jiangnan Road.

"After we deal with the remaining four, we'll have a final showdown and see whether your Ghostly Curse is more ruthless or my Nine Controls Technique is more powerful, shall we?"

Let's see if Li Qing is interested in this. He really doesn't want to be targeted by such a treacherous ghost lord while he's engaged in fierce battles on all sides.

However, just as the three parties were locked in a stalemate, trying to win each other over, a cold laugh suddenly broke out:
"In my opinion, this is absolutely not feasible!"

A young man in a python robe, exuding an aura of a vast ocean and dragons, slowly stepped out. He glanced at the three people in front of him and his brows twitched violently.

He was born into the Jinling imperial family and had firsthand intelligence from various prefectures in the South.

The Dragon-Raising Lord of the East Sea, the Taoist Yi of the Three Emperors Sect, and the Ghostly Gentleman Li Qing who just caused a great disturbance at the Osmanthus Mansion!
These three individuals are quite different. One cultivates the Nine Dragon Transformation Technique and awaits the day he achieves the status of a Yin God, becoming a true Dragon Immortal. Another cultivates the Extreme Domain of Laws, whose divine eyes, once opened, can overturn heaven and earth, making him extremely difficult to defeat. The last one perfectly inherited the legacy of a Southern Underworld and has formed a bond with a Netherworld Ghost God, whose authority is comparable to that of a Ghost King of a Underworld...

No matter who teams up with whom, it will never be a good thing for the rest of the group.

"Indeed!"

As soon as the man from the royal family spoke, two more people appeared on either side of him and echoed his sentiments from afar.

To the left was a tall woman with blonde hair reaching her waist, holding the mysterious light of the Ice Soul Separation and Union in her palm. To the right was a man surrounded by a dark spring, who appeared slightly wary, as if the two had just fought and their auras were still clashing.

The final six were drawn together by the aftermath of the battle, and at that moment, the hundred warriors of the Three Emperors Zongyi Daoist were also torn to shreds by the five dragons!

It looks like a chaotic battle is about to begin.

“In that case…” The Dragon Lord looked at the suddenly changed situation and his expression turned serious.

But the next moment, the majestic man named after the dragon suddenly exuded a powerful aura. He released a precious light from his sleeve, and the divine light of the Azure Netherworld, accompanied by overwhelming magical power, instantly suppressed the five people in the field and simultaneously swept them into the turbulent, boundless sea of ​​red sand.

Since that's the case, the only option left is to gather everyone together and fight our way out!
You have your curses, he has his divine domain, and I have my deadly moves; neither of us is necessarily inferior to the other…

The six Taoist priests in the arena, who were originally on high alert, were all provoked by this action and went berserk!
The only sound was the gentle murmur of the flowing spring. First, a celestial river of weak water rushed down, but before it even hit the ground, the Qingqiu Treasure Technique - Ice Soul Separation and Reunion Divine Light swept over it, freezing the spring that never seemed to freeze.

Nine dragons appeared and rampaged in the red sand sea. The largest Black Abyss Dragon, Primordial Ghost Dragon, Yi Wood Vine Dragon, and Earth Pneumonia Dragon appeared together. Like a sacred mountain, they occupied the land. In the blink of an eye, the huge creatures hundreds of feet long coiled up, and the roars of dragons echoed throughout the Dragon Marsh.

This is a colossal entity with four heads whose Daoist aura is so rich that it has begun to generate Dharma intent. The spreading black swamp, the corrosive Yin energy, the jungle where all things grow, and the lava underground have begun to affect the battlefield, cutting this red sand sea into pieces of territory.

"hold head high!"

Another long, resounding cry echoed to the heavens. It came from the Li family member in the python robe, whose sleeves were long and dark, and the Cloud Dragon Mother Qi greatly expanded, transforming into two hundred-foot-long azure dragons that rushed out from his sleeves.

The moment the azure dragon emerged from the sleeve, it coiled around the two dragon heads, one on the left and one on the right, and slammed them down onto the red sandy ground.

With a bold and unrestrained azure dragon hidden in its sleeve, it dares to ride the sea of ​​clouds and invade the capital!
This member of the royal family was the most decisive and valiant of the six. With a flick of his sleeve, he subdued the two dragons and dragged them far away, intending to deprive the Dragon Lord of two of his allies...

With a light tap of his toes, Li Qing lifted the Soul Banner and distanced himself from the crowd. Paper scraps scattered around him, and in the blink of an eye, he summoned the Twelve Rampaging Gods, who escorted him away from the center of the battlefield.

He cultivates the Dao of Chaos, the Dao of Qi, and the Dao of Soul, but he is particularly averse to personally participating in such chaotic battles!

However, before Li Qing could leave, suddenly, the vast void twisted violently, and the entire red sand land suddenly shrank by several feet. In that instant, the diffuse red sand was crushed into solid rock by an unparalleled force.

The dragons collapsed, all paths were restrained, and in that instant, everyone was attacked indiscriminately.

Li Qing felt a sharp pain in his internal organs, and then he was crushed to the ground. The twelve mad gods were instantly crushed and turned into a torrent of white paper scattered on the earth.

Ruoshui Yangjue and Qingqiu Yajun continued their original battle, but in that instant, the two were simultaneously suppressed into the ground by the terrifying gravity. Forget about Ruoshui Tianhe and Bingpo Hanjing; all their supernatural powers were destroyed under this absolute gravity domain.

The Dragon Lord at the head of the dragon horde also plummeted from the sky, and as he landed on one knee, blood slowly flowed from his mouth and nose!

This is a domain of law, a domain of the earth's magnetic gravity.

But then the Third Emperor Dao Child untied the black cloth covering his eyes, and as soon as he opened them, boundless gravity distorted space. The six Dao Seeds, including himself, were simultaneously infused with immense divine power. Even the small magical artifacts carried by the Daoists scattered and broke apart under the suppression of this gravity, which was tens of millions of times stronger.

All the ways in the domain lie on the magnetic side of the earth.

"Cough, cough cough, I knew it, the monsters of the Three Emperors Sect are always like this."

"By using one's own body as a seed, wherever the external world touches, all paths submit!"

The Dragon Lord struggled to straighten up, but the cloud dragon and ghost dragon beneath him were not affected and circled around him from the left and right.

With a single finger, the divine light of the Azure Netherworld merged with magical power, instantly transforming into a storm of spiritual light that swept across this magical domain...

Li Qing's pupils contracted as she was slammed to the ground by the immense gravity. White smoke instantly spread from her blood-soaked body, and before long, with a "poof," she turned into a blood-stained paper figure lying on the ground.

The Curse of the Demon Star - The Paper Doll Substitute for Fate!
Then Li Qing appeared from a thousand feet away. The torrent of white paper defied gravity and flew back into Li Qing's back, transforming into a pair of paper wings nearly ten feet in size.

"Yellow Turban Warriors, heed my command!"

He had just taken the place of that indiscriminate attack, but the terrifying gravity was still constantly squeezing his limbs and bones.

With a flick of his wrist, Li Qing tossed three golden beans and summoned three Yellow Turban Warriors. These hundred-foot-tall warriors stood firmly on the ground, their heads reaching the yellow sky, their bodies radiating a magical light that connected heaven and earth. Even though they were almost completely immobilized by the gravity, they managed to support the surrounding thousand-foot-wide sky and earth, thus offering some resistance.

Li Qing leaped onto the Yellow Turban Warrior's shoulder, made hand seals, and instantly activated the 128 Southern Bright Fire Stars, which intertwined with the fire in the stone and the fire in the human world, and indiscriminately bombarded every Taoist priest...
