Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

A dark, malevolent aura shot into the sky from the sea of ​​lava, its terrifying power piercing the heavens and the earth, turning the sky and sea for hundreds of miles around into a malevolent domain.

Wherever the malevolent energy passed, the sky was stained dark, the lava sea cooled and extinguished, and the seawater was eroded into an inky color.

A tall figure slowly rose from the murderous aura.

犼。

Its injuries have fully healed, and its dark gold scales have turned from dark gold to black gold. The evil energy within the evil domain is absorbed into its body like breathing, and with each breath, its body expands a little.

It unleashed its full power, raised its head, and roared once more. The three of them simultaneously felt a divine might, several times stronger than before, acting upon them.

Bai Jing stared at the towering pillar of evil, forcing out through gritted teeth, "What are those old fogies doing? Didn't they say they could pinpoint the true form after stalling for a while? They haven't finished yet?"

In the void.

The gazes of the several Nascent Soul cultivators remained fixed on the battlefield below, some indifferent, some scrutinizing, and some with undisguised satisfaction.

They witnessed the entire process of the two Nascent Soul Dharma Bodies being killed. Such a feat would be considered top-notch among the secret disciples of the seven overlords, but it was not enough; they needed more time.

Youlian Zhenjun's eyes were full of satisfaction. Bai Jing had devoured two Nascent Soul Dharma Bodies and withstood the Hou's attack for so long, which was truly remarkable.

True Monarch Tianqing remained silent, not even glancing at Tianhao. As a holy son, one must shoulder the responsibilities of ordinary cultivators—if one cannot do it, one must die. The Heavenly Law Divine Sect does not support useless people.

Xuan Yang Zhenjun appeared the calmest, but his gaze never left Lin Zhao. This was the only secret disciple that Qing Yuan Zhenjun had taken in over the years. He was quite strong, but it was far from enough.

The voice of True Monarch Youlian traveled through the void to Bai Jing's ears, carrying a tone that sounded like coaxing a child: "Little Bai, just hang in there a little longer, it will be over soon."

Bai Jing's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this.

She took a deep breath, slung the sickle over her shoulder, and said to Lin Zhao and Tian Hao, "It seems those old fogies aren't going to make a move. Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve and fight to the death."

She was the first to act, raising the Soul-Devouring Scythe of Ten Thousand Bones high above her head. With a sudden slash, she tore open twelve void rifts, each hundreds of feet in size, simultaneously within a hundred-mile radius. Countless white bone demons writhed in the darkness.

Bai Jing's face paled for a moment after that strike, but she didn't stop. She swung the scythe again, and the crack widened at the same time, as the skeletal demons poured down like a waterfall.

This time, the number far exceeded that of the previous ones. By the time the spatial rift closed, there were already five million skeleton demons on the battlefield, forming a sea of ​​bones that completely surrounded the Hou.

With a single swipe of its claw, Hou reduced hundreds of skeletal demons to dust. Dark golden flames spewed from its mouth, instantly evaporating a straight line of skeletal demons. Golden light shot from its eyes, carving out an area more than ten miles long in the sea of ​​bones. However, despite its speed, Hou could not withstand the sheer number of five million.

Bai Jing was also constantly in control, piecing together and reshaping the shattered bones. The fallen bone monsters rose up again and again, one after another, endlessly.

Tianhao once again summoned the True Yang Spirit Shield, and the shield surface transformed back into a blue sun. Tianhao channeled his essence blood into the True Yang Spirit Shield, and the essence blood was ignited the moment it landed on the blue sun, eventually transforming into a blood sun.

Blood Sun hung high in the Fiend Domain, its crimson flames clashing with the dark, malevolent energy of the Hou, producing a hissing sound.

Tianhao's face was as pale as paper.

Bai Jing raised the Soul-Devouring Scythe of Ten Thousand Bones once again. This time, nearly ten million bone demons looked up at the same time, and the ghostly fire in their eye sockets ignited at the same moment. The pale flames peeled off each bone demon and converged on the Soul-Devouring Scythe of Ten Thousand Bones.

She was making a sacrifice, offering up millions of skeletal demons. Their power was concentrated in this one strike. This time, even a Nascent Soul cultivator without a fourth-tier defensive magic weapon would die from this White Bone Soul Devouring Slash.

Lin Zhao's Four Symbols Heavenly Gang Sword Formation shrank again, condensing into a silver-white Four Symbols Heavenly Gang Sword. But this time, the sword had an extra layer of light golden halo, like the golden halo of dawn.

But the moment it appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth trembled slightly.

The power of the rules of gold.

Lin Zhao had long ago grasped the rules of metal, but had not used them before.

First, he had only recently entered the realm of the rules of gold, and the power of the rules was extremely difficult to utilize. He had only recently grasped this method.

Secondly, the power of rules is a power that only Nascent Soul cultivators can use, and he did not want to easily expose it to outsiders.

But I can't worry about that now.

As soon as the power of the rules was unleashed, Tianhao and Baijing couldn't help but look at him.

One of the necessary conditions for advancing from Nascent Soul to Deity is to comprehend a rule. Lin Zhao was able to touch the threshold of the rule when he reached Core Formation, which means that he has truly possessed the possibility of advancing to Deity.

Tianhao's Heavenly Law Token is essentially a simulation of the operation of the power of rules. If he can comprehend a rule and then use the Heavenly Law Token to unleash it, he will definitely be able to confront Hou head-on.

The ten demonic energies on Bai Jing's side, in essence, each point to a power of rule.

The way the two looked at Lin Zhao completely changed.

The Hou also sensed the aura of the power of the rules, and for the first time, fear appeared in its scarlet eyes.

It suddenly opened its huge maw, and a dark pillar of blood, wreathed in demonic flames, gushed out, heading straight for Lin Zhao. Space distorted where the blood pillar passed; it had used all its strength in this attack.

Tianhao's Blood Sun moved horizontally, blocking Lin Zhao's path. The Blood Sun collided with the dark blood pillar, producing a loud bang. The Blood Sun trembled violently, and its blood light was eroded and peeled away layer by layer. Tianhao's body trembled with the vibration of the Blood Sun, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

But he did not retreat, and withstood the attack head-on.

Bai Jing unleashed his Bone Devouring Soul Slash at this moment, the power of nearly ten million bone demons sacrificed condensed into this one strike, creating an indescribable darkness.

The dark blade light cleaved through the baleful aura and the black-gold scales, creating a deep, bone-revealing wound on the Hou's body. Golden blood gushed out like a fountain, evaporating before it even hit the ground due to the aftershocks of the blade light.

At the same moment, Lin Zhao's Four Symbols Heavenly Gang Sword flew out, its blade, imbued with the power of metal, slicing through the void, its pale golden halo repelling all evil energy.

The Four Symbols Heavenly Gang Sword pierced through the wound created by the White Bone Soul Devouring Slash, then completely penetrated it, flying out from his back and bringing with it a spray of golden blood.

This attack actually pierced through the Hou's body.
