Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

The shield is reddish-gold in color, with a blazing sun totem engraved in the center, and nine flame-shaped spiritual patterns slowly rotating around the shield.

The Hou's second claw slammed into the shield, causing the ring of flames to tremble violently, and a water wall hundreds of feet high exploded on the sea beneath Tian Hao's feet.

-----

On Lin Zhao's side, a gray figure hovered in the air.

It was the gray-robed Dharmakaya he had encountered before.

Or rather, the Gray Owl True Lord.

Gray Owl True Monarch's face was gloomy; of course he remembered this Azure Lotus Sword Immortal.

Back on the Heavenly Wrath Treasure Ship, the traps he set up were progressing smoothly, and he had secretly gained control over dozens of Core Formation cultivators.

As a result, he was tricked by the swordsman in front of him and finally let him escape from his grasp.

He issued a warrant for his arrest within the Mitian Alliance, and several attempts to track him down yielded no results.

Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be a secret disciple of the dominant force, and now he has come to our door to cause trouble.

He actually didn't want to take action.

However, faced with the sweeping attacks on the Qingyu Clan by the three dominant forces, the Mitian Alliance had no choice but to react.

Send out two Nascent Soul avatars as a token gesture.

This shows that the Mitian Alliance is not to be trifled with, and that they dare to fight back even when facing a dominant force.

As for the existence or demise of the Dharmakaya, that is no longer important.

Grey Owl True Lord was naturally unwilling to be a pawn.

But since he had issued a warrant for his arrest, he had willingly come forward.

The only saving grace is that his true form is not in the Endless Demon Sea; this is merely a dharma body.

"It's been more than ten years, and even the magical artifacts have advanced."

The voice of True Monarch Gray Owl was hoarse and deep, and the gray longsword in his hand pointed at Lin Zhao, "But Core Formation is Core Formation, it can never compare to Nascent Soul."

Lin Zhao took a deep breath and attacked first without waiting for Gray Owl True Monarch to make the first move.

The Blood Essence Bone Fiend Palace took flight, and all the blood-red pupils on its body opened at the same time.

Hundreds of crimson beams shot out from the blood-red eyes, weaving into a dense blood net, and bombarded Gray Owl True Monarch.

At the same time, the palace body surged with blood-red light, and countless blood-red bone chains shot out from inside the palace body. The bone chains, like living things, wrapped around Gray Owl True Monarch from all directions, sealing off all his escape space.

Gray Owl True Monarch sneered.

He flipped his hand and took out two magical treasures: a purple pearl and a white mirror, along with the gray longsword in his hand.

Three top-grade level three magic treasures.

He didn't have any extra fourth-tier magic weapons, but he did have some top-grade third-tier magic weapons. He had used up all his resources to prepare for this mission.

A white mirror hung above his head, its surface emitting a beam of white light that formed a light barrier in front of him. The blood-red light struck the light barrier and was deflected.

He swung his longsword repeatedly, severing the bone chains one by one.

At the same time, the purple orb, empowered by his magic, slammed out, sending the Blood Essence Bone Fiend Palace flying.

The explosive power of a Nascent Soul cultivator is far greater than that of a Core Formation cultivator. The same top-grade third-tier magic weapon is a completely different concept in the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator and a Core Formation cultivator.

The three magical artifacts work together seamlessly, allowing for fluid and natural defense and counterattacks.

With no obstacle in front of Lin Zhao, Gray Owl True Monarch, wielding a long sword, flashed toward Lin Zhao with a ferocious smile on his face.

Another silver-white palace flew out from Lin Zhao's body—the Thunder Palace.

This magical artifact was a trophy he obtained from Meng Wuhen. Nine thunder jade bells hung from the outer eaves of the palace. Thunder patterns lit up, and countless arcs of electricity gathered between the nine jade bells, leaping and transmitting.

Each time it was passed on, it grew stronger, eventually converging into a silvery-white pillar of lightning that pierced the heavens and earth, illuminating half the sky.

The lightning bolt struck Gray Owl True Monarch head-on, blasting him dozens of miles away. His gray robe was scorched black by the lightning.

However, the Thunder Palace was ultimately only a third-tier high-grade magic weapon.

After being fully exploited by Lin Zhao, all the lightning patterns on the palace dimmed, and the entire palace lost its spiritual light, making it temporarily unusable.

Lin Zhao didn't care. He wasn't a lightning-attribute cultivator, and the magic weapon had already reached its value by being used once.

The time we've gained is enough.

The Starry Sky Rift Sword hovered above Lin Zhao's head, its blade trembling as it released countless Five Elements Sword Qi. The sword Qi intertwined and swirled in mid-air, gradually merging into one, transforming into pure silver-white Heavenly Gang Sword Qi.

Sword energy intertwined, condensing in the air into a massive array covering dozens of miles.

The Four Symbols Heavenly Dipper Sword Formation

With a clear cry, a silver-white Vermilion Bird, hundreds of feet tall, flew out from the array. Spreading its wings, countless silver-white sword energies rained down like a storm.

The Heavenly Vermilion Bird folded its wings and transformed into a silvery-white meteor, rushing straight towards the Gray Owl True Lord.

Gray Owl True Monarch unleashed a purple orb and a white mirror for simultaneous defense. Vermilion Bird crashed into the double light barrier, causing the sword energy to explode and sending him flying back several miles.

Immediately afterwards, the Azure Dragon of the Heavenly Gang swam out of the array diagram, its body coiling and its tail sweeping across, sending True Monarch Gray Owl flying.

However, True Monarch Gray Owl was ultimately prepared, possessing three top-grade third-tier magic treasures combined with his Nascent Soul power.

Although he was knocked away, the Heavenly Vermilion Bird and the Heavenly Azure Dragon were unable to break through his defenses.

Lin Zhao gritted his teeth and connected his soul to his physical body.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel silently descended, and his perception and control over the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged instantly.

His magical power poured into the sword formation like a burst dam, expanding it once more, and two colossal beasts leaped out from the formation simultaneously—

The White Tiger of the Heavenly Gang roared to the sky, its claws tearing through the air; the Black Tortoise of the Heavenly Gang remained silent as a mountain, its tortoise shell swirling with countless defensive array patterns.

The four symbols gathered together, trapping True Monarch Gray Owl within a hundred-mile radius of the sword formation.

The four colossal beasts launched an attack from four directions simultaneously, their sword light transforming the sky into a silvery-white sword domain.

Under the protection of the three magical treasures, Gray Owl True Monarch kept dodging and blocking, and for a moment he seemed to be completely suppressed.

Lin Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, a sharp gray feather suddenly appeared not far in front of Lin Zhao.

Its feathers were entirely deathly gray, with a faint, mysterious sheen flowing across their surface, and their edges were as sharp as knives.

It came without any warning, as if it had always been there.

The gray feather trembled slightly, turning into a gray light that shot directly to Lin Zhao's brow.

Mysterious Feather Divine Light.

This is no ordinary supernatural power; it is a powerful supernatural power that True Monarch Gray Owl condensed from his own feathers.

He was willing to be suppressed by the Four Symbols Sword Formation for this attack, just to make Lin Zhao lower his guard.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch is not so easy to deal with.

Lin Zhao feigned allegiance back then; today, he pretends to be trapped.

It's just acting, isn't it?

Who wouldn't?

Just then, a dark golden sword light shot out from between Lin Zhao's eyebrows.

The Divine Fiend Sword Qi, with its dark golden sword light, was shrouded in four-colored fiendish light.

The Divine Fiend Sword Qi collided head-on with the Mysterious Feather Divine Light. The two forces clashed fiercely in the air, with the fiendish Qi and the Mysterious Feather corroding each other and emitting a sizzling sound.

Ultimately, the Divine Fiend Sword Qi forcefully blocked the Xuan Yu Divine Light.

However, the Xuan Yu divine light released by True Monarch Gray Owl was not one, but two.
