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

The waters of the Northern Sea parted to the sides, and in the newly formed demonic energy channel, gray-silver patterns extended upwards. The demons crowding on both sides suddenly lowered their bodies and retreated.

A figure slowly rose from the water. As everyone looked, they saw that the person's left shoulder was missing a piece, and a large patch of flesh on the side of their chest was exposed, which was not yet fully repaired.

But when he stopped on the sea, the surrounding demonic energy gathered on its own and filled his body along the wound.

Shen Chang'an's grip on the gun tightened slowly.

It was this aura that pressed in from the outside when Wuya's consciousness and world collapsed—a cold and heavy force.

Mingzhao, who had just risen to the surface of the sea, first glanced at the three supreme treasures high above, then swept his gaze over the demon army that had been re-formed, and finally fixed his gaze on Kunpeng.

He raised his hand, his fingertips twitching slightly.

The gray-silver patterns on the side of the Kunpeng's neck suddenly brightened, its massive body shuddered violently, and a painful low growl escaped its throat.

Cang Gu immediately stood in front of everyone to protect them. Du Yue also hurriedly activated the Sea-Suppressing Seal to push the surging seawater back to its original position.

Mingzhao then lowered his hand, letting Kunpeng struggle in place.

He said with a smile, "It's more lively here than I expected..."

Peng Lie slowly spread his wings, while Shi Lie landed on the other side, spear in hand. The clan leaders quietly spread out, each taking up a position.

Mingzhao let them set up their formation, then looked down at the wreckage on the water's surface, his brow furrowing slightly.

Then, he released several streaks of gray-silver light and flew towards the surface of the Northern Sea.

Shen Chang'an's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The fragments of stone floating on the sea surface moved.

A stone fragment stuck in the broken shell slowly rose, while another emerged from beneath the wreckage. Further away, the pebbles carried away by the ocean currents were also drawn towards Mingzhao by the gray-silver light.

One of the pieces had obvious scorch marks on its edge, and he recognized it as a fragment of the Mihai Stone Crown.

The black flames that had poured in earlier had burned away a large portion of the engravings and completely erased her presence. However, the battle situation changed rapidly, and he didn't have time to collect every scattered fragment, let alone burn them all.

At this moment, these stone fragments, which seemed to have lost their power, revealed their patterns again under the gray-silver light.

Upon seeing this, Shen Chang'an immediately raised his spear, and black flames shot out along the spearhead.

Mingzhao raised his other hand, and seawater carrying condensed demonic energy rose in front of him to catch the oncoming flames. The black flames burned through several layers of water curtains, but were still slowed down for a moment.

The fragments have split into three pieces.

The upper part slowly came together, revealing the outline of the incomplete crown, while the other part was arranged in a ring, with thin lines re-drawing out between the stone pieces.

The last cluster then narrowed into a long strip, with a straight stone ridge emerging in the center.

Stone crown, waistband, spear.

The faces of the crowd darkened.

Mingzhao flicked his fingertips in sequence, and a large amount of demonic energy surged out from the underwater passage, pouring into the three fragments. The bodies of several enormous demons nearby withered, their flesh and blood being drawn into thin streams that swirled toward the coalescing outline.

The bones grow first, followed by tendons, flesh, and the scales covering the body.

A familiar face emerged from the black mist.

Mi Hai slowly opened his eyes and subconsciously touched the stone crown on his forehead.

Her fingertips touched the gaps that could never be filled, and her expression changed drastically. Then, her gaze passed over Ming Zhao and landed on the black flames of Shen Chang'an's spear, her pupils contracting sharply.

The agony of flames pouring into her stone crown before she died remained vividly in her consciousness.

Beside them, Que Shi and Lu Heng also landed on the sea surface one after another.

The three were far less powerful than before, and tiny cracks on their bodies kept opening and closing. The parts that supported the stone slab were covered with scorch marks. Mingzhao's power could mend the remaining patterns, but it could not restore the parts that had been completely burned by the black flames.

But they did indeed come back to life.

Yuan Chongyue gripped his staff tightly, and the expressions of several powerful demons who had participated in the encirclement and kill also turned extremely grim. The opponent they had paid such a high price to kill had actually materialized again before their eyes.

Mi Hai stared intently at Shen Chang'an and said urgently, "My lord, we must kill that human who uses black flames first!"

"He can not only clear away demonic energy, but also destroy the patterns in the stone slab. If he continues to attack, we subordinates probably won't be able to hold out for long."

Mingzhao said thoughtfully, "So it was because of you. No wonder you were able to deal with them."

Shen Chang'an didn't intend to waste words and raised his hand to activate the Great Sun Phoenix Wheel.

The golden wheel high above turned, and nine phoenix patterns lit up in succession. At the same time, Du Yue spread her sleeves, and layers of firelight hung down from her phoenix robe, reconnecting with the phoenix wheel.

The Xuan Yuan Zhen Hai Seal slowly sank.

Not far away, Lu Qingyan had already swung the command flag down heavily.

"Twelve Cities Formation! Those below the eighth realm, retreat into the formation and are not allowed to approach!"

The warships quickly retreated to both sides.

A massive tortoise-shell phantom appeared beneath Xuan Ce, its thick array patterns extending along the coastline and connecting to the still-intact Sea-Suppressing Pillar. Several Xuanjia Clan experts simultaneously entered their positions, stabilizing the surrounding waters and space.

Lionfire made the first move.

The golden spear swept across the sea, its oppressive force pushing aside the demonic mist, and pierced straight towards Mingzhao's chest.

Mingzhao raised his palms in welcome.

Gray-silver patterns spread out in front of his palm, and the spearhead pierced through them, abruptly slowing his speed. Lion's eyes sharpened, and he unleashed all his demonic power. The golden lion behind him roared, causing ripples to spread across the patterns in front of him.

On the other side, Lei Hong had already stepped onto the sea.

Lightning converged along his arms and, aided by the Sea-Suppressing Array, slashed down at Mingzhao's feet. Canggu and Cangwulan simultaneously manipulated the water flow, continuously compressing the seawater around him and restricting the outward expansion of the gray-silver patterns.

Mingzhao finally moved a step.

He had just turned his body to the side when Peng Lie slashed down from the sky.

Two golden wing-like blades sliced ​​through the demonic mist, sweeping towards the shoulders and neck from the left and right. Yuan Chongyue's long staff followed closely behind, its mountain-like patterns lighting up, blocking the retreat route to the Abyss Gate.

Mihai and the others immediately stepped forward to defend them.

The Demon Blade met the Wing Blade head-on, Que Shi raised his hand to disrupt the array patterns on the sea surface, and Lu Heng raised his spear to block the falling Fu Yue Cudgel.

But as soon as they made their move, Tu Shan Fei Yue's mirror light shone into the battle.

Overlapping figures appeared on the sea surface, their attacks shifting in all directions. Mi Hai's blade missed its mark, and his shoulder was sliced ​​open by the golden light that followed, the freshly formed flesh and blood scattering once more.

A soft light shone between Lu Qingyan's horns.

Life force flowed forward along the formation, stabilizing the still-unsettled blood and qi of the clan leaders. Behind them, the Jade Horned Deer Clan cultivators simultaneously activated their spells to support the spiritual energy circulation along the entire formation.

The demon race's offensive pressed down from all directions, trapping Mingzhao and the three resurrected True Name creatures in the same sea area.

Du Yue slowly brought her hands together.

A massive imprint appeared at the bottom of the Xuan Yuan Zhen Hai Seal, enveloping the sea below. At the same time, the Chao Huang Robe unfurled, and countless golden and red phoenix feathers flew out, sealing the surrounding area along the edges of the imprint.

Shen Chang'an took a step forward, holding Qianbian horizontally in front of him.

The Great Sun Phoenix Wheel spun violently, blazing golden light condensing at its rim, followed by black flames coiling around it.

Dragon and phoenix patterns converge in the sky.

The power of the three treasures converged, pressing down on the four figures below.

Mingzhao slowly raised his head, and the gray-silver patterns in the stone on his forehead lit up one after another.

The next moment, the enormous shadow pierced through the clouds and mist, wrapped in a sky full of fiery feathers, and crashed down.

As the golden shadow pressed down, the entire sea surface sank in.

Dragon patterns sealed off all directions, and phoenix feathers filled the sky, turning into a rain of fire. The Great Sun Phoenix Wheel hung behind the shadow, its rim constantly converging inward, enveloping Ming Zhao and the three True Name Species.

Mingzhao clenched his five fingers downwards, and gray-silver patterns extended from his palm.

"Abyssal Decree - Burying the God-Demon Statue!"
