Everyone looked over at the sound, their pupils shrinking involuntarily.

All that could be seen was the distant sky.

A dark, heavy cloud sped toward the sky-covering canopy. As it drew near, a sharp screech rang out, and the dark cloud suddenly transformed into a pool of dazzling, blazing thunder, which roared and exploded.

It can be seen faintly.

A colossal creature with nine heads and six wings vanished in a flash.

"You beast!"

With a loud shout, a streak of azure light shot up from the ground, heading straight for the nine-headed strange bird accompanied by thunder and lightning.

Rumbling--

The blazing white lightning collided with the azure rainbow, and for a moment the world fell silent before erupting into an even more violent roar and powerful shockwave, making the world seem to dim considerably.

next moment.

The thunderstorm suddenly intensified, with thunder and lightning rolling in. Qinghong, who was entangled with it, was caught off guard and suddenly crashed to the ground.

"cracking--"

The nine-headed mythical bird raised its head and let out a loud cry, its booming sound echoing in all directions, "Hehehe—the Azure Rainbow Sword? It's nothing special!"

It did not stop, but instead, it crashed straight into the sky, accompanied by wind and thunder. The moment it made contact, the scarlet sky curtain, which was intertwined with the azure sky curtain, shone brightly, squeezing the azure sky curtain and rapidly invading and expanding inward.

at the same time.

The identity jade tokens of all disciples of the Fallen God Tower within a radius of a thousand miles displayed a message.

"Advance inwards by a hundred miles; kill all cultivators from the 'Azure Lotus Spirit Ruins'!"

The remaining information concerns rewards and contribution points.

Before Zhu Yu could take a closer look, he heard Wu Yang's voice.

"Now that you all have the information, I will not waste any more words. The Nine-Headed True Man has opened up a new territory, and it is now our turn to enter and clear out the Qingping Spirit Ruins cultivators inside."

Wu Yang's gaze swept over the crowd with their varied expressions. He turned to leave, but then, as if remembering something, he turned back and reminded them, "Those who flee to avoid battle will have their disciple status revoked."

As for the consequences of losing one's identity.

Even without Wu Yang saying anything, everyone understood. Suppressing their unease, they all followed.

Seeing this, Wu Yang nodded in satisfaction. With his cultivation level of just entering the Qi Refining Perfection stage, he could barely protect himself in the Spirit Ruins Battlefield, but it was impossible for him to gain much.

With the assistance of these twenty-five late-stage Qi Refining experts, perhaps we can set our sights even higher.

for example.

Hunting down a true disciple of the Qingping Sect who carries the essence of the Spirit Void—

Wu Yang did not reveal his thoughts, but instead, as he hurried out of the canyon, he explained some of the rules of the Lingxu battlefield to Zhu Yu and the others.

To put it bluntly, the Spirit Ruins battlefield still depends on Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It's a game of advance and retreat, advance and retreat.

Today, the Nine-Headed True Man repelled the Azure Rainbow Sword, but who knows, tomorrow he might be repelled by a second-tier cultivator from the Azure Lotus Sect who is comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage.

What they did was to eliminate the Qingping Spirit Ruins forces within the True Monarch Domain's sphere of influence as much as possible, destroying their fighting strength so that even if they launched a counterattack, they would not be able to occupy the territory.

As they spoke, the group crossed the canyon.

A vast lake came into view, dotted with islands, and with birds, boats, and streaks of light appearing to fly back and forth.

"Qingping Spirit Ruins cultivator—"

Zhu Yu glanced at it, his expression slightly solemn. Although he didn't think much of its narrow path, even the simplest path could kill.

He silently pressed down a "Diamond Talisman," channeled spiritual power into it, and prepared to activate it at any time. At the same time, he instructed Xiaoyu, who was hidden in his sleeve, to be ready to act at any moment.

The others also reacted as if facing a formidable enemy, some taking out magical artifacts, others holding talismans, and still others preparing their spells—

Wu Yang stood by the lake with his hands behind his back, his eyes turning into a warm yellow-jade color. After pausing to observe for a few moments, he darted away like the wind towards a certain direction on the lake.

Its sound exploded in the ears of Zhu Yu and the others.

"Follow me!"

Zhu Yu did not hesitate and urged Black Tiger and Little Black to follow.

The others paused for a moment, then each used their own methods to chase after them.

In a moment of silence.

The group arrived at a small island, several miles in circumference, shrouded in a blue aquamarine shield, and stopped not far away.

He looked over.

Within the formation, one could vaguely see a dozen or so cultivators dressed in different clothes, their expressions slightly flustered. Their bodies were surrounded by spiritual light, which manifested as flowers, plants, insects, and beasts.

"The manifestation of the Dharma seed—what an interesting path!"

Zhu Yu looked up at it with a strange light in his eyes.

Wu Yang looked around, raised his arm, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged and converged. In just a few breaths, a phantom mountain several tens of feet tall appeared. He swung his arm down and shouted, "Attack!"

The mountains suddenly solidified and crashed down towards the array's protective barrier.

Upon hearing this...

Everyone took action.

Since Zhu Yu did not practice any offensive techniques, he condensed a ball of spiritual energy about a meter in diameter in his palm and threw it toward the formation.

Others, like him, condensed a ball of spiritual energy, while others condensed flames or golden arrows—

Two of them are the most noteworthy.

One of them was a young man with an ordinary face, dressed in a gray robe. With a wave of his sleeve, a bright red blood serpent several meters long appeared, carrying a fierce aura, and headed straight for the formation.

One was a beautiful female cultivator with a cold expression. Without her making any move, a chilling whistling sound emanated from her body, and a ten-foot-long crescent-shaped wind blade silently appeared, carrying a sharp whistle as it flew towards the formation.

Wu Yang noticed this scene out of the corner of his eye, nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the island, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and muttered, "Explode!"

Boom—

The earthen mountain that crashed down suddenly expanded, and upon contact with the array's protective shield, it emitted a blinding light and exploded with a deafening roar.

Under its impact, the island's protective array shield surged with turbulent spiritual light, shaking violently as if it would be broken in the next instant.

This situation startled the cultivators within the formation.

Under the command of the middle-aged cultivator in the lead, the others calmed down, and the spiritual light of the Dharma Seeds surrounding them surged forth. Various spells flew out of the formation to meet the spells falling from Zhu Yu and the others.

Boom—Boom—

A series of booming sounds resounded, and attacks were intercepted one after another, while spiritual light surged.

Just as Qingping breathed a sigh of relief, a blood-red dragon and a pale blue crescent-shaped wind blade tore through the spiritual light, their momentum undiminished, and crashed down on the protective barrier.

The already swaying protective barrier froze for a moment, then exploded in Qingping cultivator's horrified gaze, turning into specks of crystalline light that slowly dissipated.

"kill!"

A ferocious smile appeared on Wu Yang's face. He moved like the wind and instantly arrived beside the middle-aged man in the lead. With a flick of his sleeve, a seal that flashed with powerful restrictive spiritual light flew out, turning into a shape about ten feet in diameter as it crashed down on him.

"**——"

The middle-aged man at the head of the group had a drastic change in expression. He shouted something incomprehensible, and the three magical seeds swirling around him flashed with dazzling spiritual light. One of them, as thick as a person's embrace, with surging and scorching vines, snaked out and met the seal.

The other cultivators from Qingping Spirit Ruins did not hesitate and turned to run.

"Superior offensive spells—"

Zhu Yu glanced warily at the young man and the female cultivator. Seeing the Qingping Spirit Ruins cultivator flee, he suppressed his distracting thoughts and urged the black tiger to rush towards the island.

squeak-

With a hiss, Little Black's body shimmered with spiritual light, and a pale blue vortex appeared out of thin air, enveloping the man, the corpse, and the insect. Its speed instantly increased several times, and it arrived at the island in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Yu quickly scanned the dozen or so Qingping cultivators who were fleeing in all directions, and then his light fell on a panicked young man at the edge.

"Walk!"

With a thought and a movement, the black tiger, swirling in the breeze, rushed straight towards the boy.

"Oh no—"

The boy caught a glimpse of a young man riding a black tiger, his expression indifferent, chasing after him. His face paled for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, he made a hand seal. The feather-like magic seeds surrounding him landed behind him and quickly condensed into a pair of pale white wings.

It seems that some kind of secret technique was used.

The boy's face turned even paler, and he turned to take a deep look at the young man following closely behind.

Just as he was preparing to drive the seed of Dharma away.

"Um!"

Suddenly, he found himself unable to look away, and without realizing it, the young man's eyes had turned as black as ink, like a bottomless abyss, drawing his mind in.

"Come--"

A clear and resonant voice echoed in his heart.

The boy felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, then vaguely glimpsed a white light. Immediately, his consciousness seemed to plummet off a cliff, falling rapidly until he felt nothing more.

outside world.

The boy's aura suddenly dimmed, and the wings on his back turned into specks of light that dissipated. A beam of white light flew out from behind his head and manifested in mid-air as a small mantis that looked like it was carved from white jade.

The boy's life was immediately cut off, and he fell into the lake.

Zhu Yu raised his arm, using his spiritual power to transform into a large hand that grabbed the boy's corpse and brought it close. His divine sense swept over it, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"This is really good stuff!"
