High-level martial arts: Long spear with black flames to suppress demons.

Above the Northern Sea, Cang Gu and Kun Peng were still locked in battle.

The azure dragon's body flipped over from the sea surface, its sharp claws gripping the Kunpeng's back and piercing deep into an old wound that had not yet healed.

Cang Gu suddenly tightened his body, trying to push the raised head back underwater. But Kunpeng simply swung its giant fins, stirring up all the surrounding seawater, enveloping its massive body, and slamming it to the side.

A beam of golden light suddenly descended from the Xuan Yuan Zhen Hai Seal.

The seawater beside Kunpeng instantly solidified, and several dragon patterns rose from it, entangling the giant fin. Taking advantage of this momentary pause, Canggu released its claws, its long body sliding along Kunpeng's back, avoiding the oncoming heavy blow.

Even so, the edge of the giant fin still grazed his belly.

Several azure dragon scales exploded on the spot, and blood gushed into the sea.

Cang Gu let out a muffled roar and spat out a dark blue pearl. The pearl swelled in the wind, and the surrounding ocean currents swirled around it, dissipating the force that had crashed into his body.

The precious pearl hung below Cang Gu's neck, its light spreading across his scales and body, barely stabilizing his injured internal organs. Instead of retreating, he circled around to the Kunpeng's head again, blocking its path toward Zhenhai City.

"Your Majesty, hold it down on its left side!"

Upon hearing this, Du Yue immediately turned the Zhenhai Seal.

The illusory image of the sea within the ancient seal tilted, and several sea-suppressing pillars on the left side lit up simultaneously, the massive seal image landing heavily on the Kunpeng's back. The body, which was about to turn, suddenly sank, and Cang Gu seized the opportunity to whip its tail, wrapping it with solidified water, and slammed it against the side of its neck.

A dull, loud bang echoed across the sea.

The Kunpeng's head was knocked to the side, but the purplish-black in its eyes grew even darker. It suddenly opened its mouth, and a thick stream of dark current gushed out, causing the seawater along its path to collapse one after another, heading straight for Cang Gu's chest and abdomen.

The Dingcang Pearl lit up, and several layers of water curtains condensed in front of Cang Gu. The dark currents pierced through the first two layers and crashed into the last layer, causing the surface of the pearl to tremble violently.

Du Yue swept her sleeve across the area, and golden-red flames descended along the dragon pattern, blocking most of the demonic energy mixed in the undercurrent, allowing Cang Gu to escape.

He gazed at the giant beast, his heart growing heavier with each passing moment.

After actually fighting, he was able to confirm that even though Kunpeng was suffering from old injuries and had lost his mind due to the corruption of demonic energy, he still retained the power of the Ninth Realm.

Without the three supreme treasures suppressing the sea, he alone would have no chance of stopping him here.

On the other side of the sea, Yuan Chongyue held a black gold staff in both hands and slammed it down towards Lu Heng.

Layers of mountain-like patterns appeared on the surface of the long staff, and as it fell, it pressed a deep trench into the nearby seawater. Lu Heng raised his spear to block, and the black spear collided with the long staff, the resulting shockwave sending hordes of demons flying below.

Yuan Chongyue tensed his arm muscles and continued to press down.

The Primordial Spiritual Treasure, the Mountain-Bearing Staff.

With each slight movement of the long staff, the weight of the falling object increased. The seawater beneath Lu Heng's feet continued to explode, and the armor plates on his body rapidly adjusted, yet his shoulders and back were still slightly slumped under the pressure.

A golden streak of light swept in from the side.

Peng Lie spread his wings, and two narrow golden blades appeared along the leading edge of his wings—his innate spiritual treasure, the Sky-Splitting Twin Feathers. The wing blades sliced ​​through, instantly cutting a gash in Lu Heng's shoulder armor.

He immediately turned to the side, his spear deflecting the long staff, and used the force of the collision to retreat.

But Peng Lie was faster than him.

The golden figure shifted position repeatedly, its winged blades falling from different directions, forcing Lu Heng to constantly raise his spear to parry. Yuan Chongyue followed closely behind, his long staff always aimed at Lu Heng's torso; if Lu Heng hesitated even slightly, he would deliver a powerful blow capable of shattering a mountain.

With the two clan leaders working together and the amplification from the treasures high in the sky, even though Lu Heng could constantly adjust himself during the battle, he was still unable to break free from the entanglement.

On the other side, Que Shi, there was also no progress.

Tu Shan Fei Yue stretched out her nine tails, and a silver ancient mirror hung in front of her. The mirror reflected the sea, but her figure kept emerging from outside the mirror, real and fake, and even the spiritual energy fluctuations stirred up by each spell were almost identical.

The stone shard at Que Shi's waist kept turning, trying to find the connection between the illusions.

But whenever he was about to make a move, Cang Wulan would rush in with a chilling current, and a pale blue jade ring hanging at the side of his neck would light up. As the jade ring turned, the seawater would freeze into a thick ice wall, sealing the gap that Que Shi had just found again.

Those ice walls weren't meant to trap him, but rather to constantly disrupt his observation, forcing him to rediscover Tu Shan Fei Yue's location.

Que Shi sliced ​​through an ice wall with his fingertips, but the scene before him transformed into another sea.

He finally stopped and looked towards the distant spiritual realm where black and gold intertwined.

"Miku!"

The sound traveled through the wind and waves, clearly landing in that sea of ​​fire.

"How much longer will it take you there?"

Lu Heng deflected Peng Lie's wing blade with his spear, but his shoulder was grazed by Fu Yue's staff, and half of his armor plate instantly shattered. He retreated several hundred feet, his tone already showing some impatience.

"Being dragged on until now by a seventh-realm cultivator?"

"You really think this guy is simple?"

Mi Hai was clearly also angry. Because of the presence of the black flames, she had been restrained. The wound on the side of her neck had not yet fully healed, and the scales that had just grown on her arms were much lighter in color.

Shen Chang'an, who was opposite her, was also injured, but the golden flames on his body never went out, and his injuries were recovering at a speed no slower than hers.

She glanced at the black flames on Shen Chang'an's spear, then looked up at Du Yue high in the sky.

The three treasures are still resonating.

As long as the phoenix continues to control the sea and suppress the Abyss Gate, they will always have to endure the oppression of this sea area.

Mi Hai slowly raised his hand and pressed it against the stone crown on his forehead.

Shen Chang'an immediately sensed something was wrong. He twirled his spear, and black flames suddenly rose up along the shaft.

But Mi Hai did not come forward this time.

The carvings in the stone crown on her forehead lit up, and streaks of purplish-black light pierced her skin from the base of the crown, spreading along her forehead to the side of her neck. At the same time, the faint black lines on the head of the Kunpeng in the distance suddenly tightened.

The giant beast that was wrestling with Cang Gu suddenly stopped moving.

Cang Gu's heart skipped a beat.

The next moment, large patches of skin bulged on the Kunpeng's back, and heavy scales rolled up along its body, transforming into patches of jet-black feathers. Its broad, giant fins spread outwards, and dense explosions emanated from deep within its bones, while the seawater on both sides was pushed outwards by an increasingly powerful force.

Cang Gu retreated without hesitation, roaring at the same time.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

A sharp, long cry tore through the sea mist.

The massive body of the Kunpeng leaped out of the water, its giant fins transforming into wings that blotted out the sky. Its head tightened, revealing a massive, hooked beak. Countless drops of seawater poured down its dark wings, only to be swept into the sky by the gale-force winds whipped up by the flapping wings before they even hit the ground.

The dragon pattern hanging down from the Zhenhai Seal was stretched straight.

Several of the restraints binding the giant fins suddenly slipped off as the shape changed. The Kunpeng's wings flapped violently, and it soared directly into the sky, its back bearing the golden imprint.

It ignored Cang Gu.

That giant, purplish-black eye stared intently at Du Yue.

"Back up!"

Cang Gu took off first, and the Ding Cang Pearl transformed into a blue stream of light, crashing into the Kunpeng's wing. Yuan Chongyue and Peng Lie immediately abandoned their pursuit and rushed towards Du Yue's location. Tu Shan Fei Yue's mirror light flipped, and several phantoms appeared around her at the same time.

However, the speed of the Kunpeng after flapping its wings is much faster than before in the sea.

Du Yue's face paled instantly, and she raised both sleeves simultaneously, revealing layers of phoenix feathers on her Nine Heavens Phoenix Robe. However, she didn't immediately retract the Profound Origin Sea-Suppressing Seal in front of her. Even more violent fluctuations were emanating from the underwater abyss gate, and as she slightly loosened her grip, several sea-suppressing pillars began to sway.

A figure appeared in front of her before anyone else.

Shen Chang'an activated the Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique, and the Thousand Transformations technique had already risen horizontally.

The instant he left his original position in the Spirit Realm, Mi Hai suddenly raised his hand, and the scales on his arm condensed into a long, narrow demonic blade, which slashed horizontally at him.

A line of blood bloomed from Shen Chang'an's waist.

The demonic blade tore through the protective golden light, slicing a deep wound along the waist and abdomen, blood instantly splattering out. Shen Chang'an paused slightly, but did not turn around. Using the last step of the Shrinking Earth technique, he directly blocked Du Yue's path.

The Great Sun Phoenix Wheel crashed down with a deafening roar.

The black-gold spiritual domain then contracted, and the pseudo-spiritual form beneath the paulownia tree stepped forward, enveloping Shen Chang'an within it. Golden light divine incantations covered his entire body, followed closely by lightning, transforming into a heavy suit of lightning armor that snapped shut along his chest, shoulders, arms, and legs.

The Thousand Transformations technique rapidly extended within Lingxiang's palm, transforming into a giant spear held horizontally in front of his chest.

Kunpeng has arrived.

The giant claw pierced through the phoenix feather light barrier that was not yet fully closed, and crashed head-on into the Great Sun Phoenix Wheel. The golden wheel trembled violently, forcefully blocking a large amount of demonic energy from the giant claw, but was still pushed backward.

Immediately afterwards, the giant claw pressed down on Qianbian.

All sounds seemed to disappear from Shen Chang'an's ears.

The gun suddenly bent.

He gripped the gun barrel with both hands, and before he could even feel the pain, the bones in his arms had already broken one after another. The force passed through his arms and slammed into his chest, causing the lightning armor to explode, the golden divine incantation to crumble layer by layer, and his chest bones to begin to collapse.

Fresh blood gushed from his mouth.

A narrow crack appeared on the surface of the spear, and the internal wood fibers were stretched taut, causing the entire spear to bend to the point of almost breaking.

At this moment, Shen Chang'an took the initiative to disperse the spiritual power behind the pseudo-spiritual image.

His once solid shoulders and back suddenly exploded, and black and gold flames erupted backward. The power that was enough to completely crush him passed through his scattered spiritual form, tearing a long void in the air.

He was still thrown backward by the impact.

Du Yue caught him immediately with a phoenix feather from her sleeve, and the golden-red light barrier dented repeatedly, finally preventing him from flying backward. At the same time, Cang Gu finally crashed into Kunpeng from the side, its dragon body coiling around one of its giant claws. The Dingcang Pearl and the Zhenhai Seal lit up simultaneously, forcibly pushing it away from directly in front of Du Yue.

Peng Lie's wing blade slashed towards the other wing root, and Yuan Chongyue swung his Fuyue Cudgel, slamming it heavily onto the giant claw joint.

It took the combined efforts of several powerful demons to finally stop the attack.

Du Yue turned her head, and her voice changed.

"How are you?"

Another gush of blood gushed from Shen Chang'an's mouth.

His arms hung at an unnatural angle, his chest was sunken, and blood continued to flow from the wounds in his waist and abdomen. But the pseudo-spiritual image that had just dispersed had already regrouped, and black and gold flames continued to extend along his mangled shoulders and back, soon regaining its complete outline.

If he had stubbornly resisted dissipating his spiritual form just now, he would have been injured even more severely, but he was fine after actively releasing the force.

The world is gradually recovering.

Fine golden patterns emerged from the deep crack in the spear shaft, from which the life force of the phoenix tree surged, reconnecting the broken wood. The phoenix tree in the spirit realm swayed its branches and leaves, and rays of light fell into the spear shaft, gradually restoring the almost broken spear to its straight state.

He took a deep breath, but the sensation in his chest caused him to cough, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth again.

Golden flames ignited from within his body.

The Nirvana Technique circulated wildly, pulling the shattered bones back to their original positions and slowly reconnecting the severed meridians. The Phoenix True Fire from Du Yueluo also merged into it, forcing the demonic energy that was still eroding the wounds to the outside, where it was then burned away by the black flames.

Shen Chang'an barely managed to raise his hand and grasp Qianbian again.

As he clenched his fingers, a sharp pain still throbbed deep within his arm. He glanced at his recovering chest, then looked up at Mi Hai not far away, his bloodied lips twitching slightly.

"It's just a minor injury."

Golden flames rose up from his shoulder, illuminating half of his face.

The false spirit behind him gripped the spear tightly once more.
