At the age of one hundred, I inquired about the Dao, awakening the supreme spiritual root that shatt

Ling Xiu adjusted his body to its most perfect state, and three days later, he swallowed the Qingyang Spirit Pill, and the medicinal effects quickly took hold.

Ling Xiu felt as if his body had been reborn. Then, he took out a top-grade Tongxuan Pill and put it in his mouth.

The Supreme Profound Pill melts instantly upon entering the mouth!

boom!

The medicinal power surged like a raging river, crashing wildly against every part of the body, like relentless waves crashing against the flesh, the intense pain brought on by the immense medicinal power engulfing the entire body.

His body was under unimaginable pressure, and the violent golden torrent surged into the depths of his dantian, where it swirled into a terrifying vortex.

Ling Xiu felt as if a thousand horses were galloping through his body, as if his flesh would be torn apart at any moment. His face turned bright red, and his meridians were constantly breaking and then being widened and extended by the medicinal power.

The storm vortex within his dantian intensified, and the surging golden energy seemed poised to burst his body at any moment.

The domineering medicinal power of the Tongxuan Pill and the gentle medicinal power of the Qingyang Spirit Pill blended together in his body, one soft and one strong, forming a perfect balance and stabilizing Ling Xiu's physical foundation.

He fully activated the "True Secret of Longevity," and at this moment, the unique advantages of his supreme spiritual root were completely revealed.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to be summoned by an invisible force, surging into his body like madmen.

A massive vortex of spiritual energy condensed above his head, enveloping the entire True Ruins Pavilion. The boundless spiritual energy flowed into his body, as if he were falling into a bottomless abyss.

After the spiritual energy of heaven and earth enters the body, it transforms into pure true essence, continuously guiding and refining the violent medicinal power, and dissipating the raging energy storm within the dantian.

All of it was transformed into a purer source of longevity power, and Ling Xiu felt his vitality becoming more and more vigorous, and his lifespan becoming longer and stronger.

With the dantian as the foundation, a massive amount of true essence and spiritual energy from heaven and earth rapidly rotated and compressed, and at the very center of the vortex, a tiny point of light slowly condensed.

This is a sign of the condensation of the Golden Elixir; extreme pressure sweeps over the entire body, and the temperature inside the vortex rises steadily.

The pure true essence was endlessly squeezed inward, and the faint light at the center of the dantian vortex slowly emitted a faint golden glow.

The entire process was long and excruciatingly painful. Ling Xiu kept his mind highly alert throughout, using his powerful spiritual sense to precisely control the flow of the medicine, enduring the endless suffering of his meridians, acupoints, and dantian being repeatedly torn apart and repaired.

Time flies.

Outside the True Ruins Pavilion, a large number of ferocious beasts from the Northern Cold Lands of the Northern Spirit Domain were engaged in a fierce battle with the city's defenders.

The massive protective light array surrounding the city trembled incessantly, its blue light flickering and flashing violently.

The beast tide swept across the land, and the roars of ferocious beasts were incessant. This danger far exceeded the monster chaos that Ling Xiu had encountered in Qingyang City of the Eastern Spirit Domain in the past.

The entire Qingyang Holy City is in grave danger, the situation continues to deteriorate, and the city's protective formation is at risk of collapsing at any moment.

Panic gripped the city. Unarmed civilians, under the guidance of guards, formed long lines and evacuated in an orderly fashion.

All cultivators with cultivation and the ability to fight were sent to the front lines to fight the ferocious beasts.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and this fierce war of attrition has never stopped. Outside the city, demonic energy blots out the sky, and the roars of ferocious beasts shake the heavens and the earth.

Amidst the vast, dark horde of beasts, stood six colossal demons, each a hundred meters tall, their bodies surging with terrifying demonic power.

The sky was filled with a fierce and malevolent aura; these were six Earth-rank ferocious beasts, whose strength was comparable to that of a cultivator in the Profound Realm.

They strode forward with their massive, ferocious bodies, unleashing overwhelming power, and took turns slamming into the city's protective array.

Rumble!

The Holy City of Qingyang shook violently, and the blue light shield protecting the city flickered, its radiance dimming considerably.

Swish!

A majestic figure burst forth from the sky, standing above the City Lord's Mansion. The woman, dressed in a blood-red robe and gripping a long sword tightly, exuded an incomparably powerful aura. She was none other than the City Lord of Qingyang Holy City, and also the President of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.

She stood in mid-air, constantly channeling her true energy with both hands, doing her utmost to stabilize the city's protective formation.

However, her face was deathly pale, and her blood-red robe was torn and ripped in many places, clearly indicating that she had suffered severe injuries in the days of battle.

Forcibly overdrawing one's true energy causes old injuries to flare up repeatedly, leading to a continuous deterioration of the condition.

"Fellow practitioners, follow me and let's go forward to lend our support!"

At the same moment, several late-stage Transcendent cultivators took to the air and flew towards the city's protective array.

The group unleashed their golden divine bodies, glaring at the six hundred-meter-tall giant demons below, and unleashed a series of powerful spells to bombard the beast horde.

However, the City Lord of Qingyang was seriously injured, and with only a few Transcendent cultivators, he was no match for six Earth-rank Great Demons. The city's protective formation would not last long.

"Qingyang Daoist, your death is near, hahaha!"

Today I will slaughter the entire city! If you are willing to submit and become my concubine, I may spare your life.

If you disobey, once the great formation shatters, I will tear you to pieces!

Among the six demon leaders, the leader, Yin Shi Wang, let out a wild and arrogant laugh.

This demon is a hundred meters tall, covered in black fur, with a pair of curved horns on its head and four sharp fangs protruding from the corners of its mouth. It has a human body, thick black arms, and its physical strength is terrifyingly explosive.

A pair of blood-red demonic eyes stared intently at the Lord of Qingyang City, filled with greed and lust, drooling with desire, his appearance both cruel and repulsive.

"King of Yin Devouring, you're delusional!"

The Lord of Qingyang City gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

The old wounds on her body were from a sneak attack she suffered when she fought Yin Shi Wang. If she hadn't been seriously injured, she would never have been in such a sorry state with her late-stage Tongxuan cultivation.

At this moment, Yin Shi Wang led the other five great demons, frantically taking turns to ram the barrier.

The six Earth-rank ferocious beasts launched a fierce attack together, and if this continued, the city's protective formation would collapse in an instant.

The City Lord of Qingyang felt extremely bitter. She had sent out several distress signals earlier, but had not received a single reply.

She had already sent a message to the neighboring Eastern Spirit Domain. Although the Qingyun Sect and Baolingdan Sect had agreed to send troops to their aid, no reinforcements had yet arrived.

"We have no choice but to fight to the death! Multiple locations in the Southern Spirit Domain have been attacked simultaneously, and perhaps two reinforcements are rushing to the aid of other cities!"

But now the main force of the beast tide is completely besieging Qingyang Holy City!

This thought made the Lord of Qingyang City increasingly uneasy.

"Hmph! Since you refuse to submit to me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Yin Shi Wang's ferocious aura surged, and he raised a giant Xuan Hammer magic weapon hundreds of feet long, smashing it down with immense force towards the city's protective formation.

The giant hammer, with overwhelming force, crashed into the barrier.

The deafening roar echoed throughout the city, crashing heavily on everyone's hearts, and despair quietly spread.

The cultivators and civilians in the city could all feel the terrifying power of this attack. Several Transcendent cultivators showed fear on their faces and were already planning to flee as soon as the great formation was broken.

The children were terrified and cried loudly; despair enveloped the entire city.

"Could it be that my Qingyang Holy City is truly destined to be drenched in blood today?"

Countless cultivators gripped their weapons, ready to fight to the death.

"Perhaps a full-scale breakout is the only way; there might still be a glimmer of hope!"

Just when everyone was in despair, someone shouted out loud.

"Look, what's that!"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone turned to look at a secluded spot within the city.

A giant vortex of spiritual energy appeared in the sky above that area, and all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a hundred miles of the city was frantically converging towards this place.

And below this vast vortex lies the True Ruins Pavilion.
