Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

As soon as these words were spoken, a large amount of earth energy from all directions rapidly converged on Tu Jun, and soon Tu Jun transformed into a stone giant hundreds of meters tall.

He raised his massive hands and blocked Lin Aoxue's sword strike from above.

Lin Aoxue's attack couldn't land; it only penetrated to a depth of about a foot into the opponent's arm before it couldn't go any further.

"Such strong defense." That was Lin Aoxue's first impression.

Just as Lin Aoxue's attack failed to advance, Jin Qian suddenly flew out from behind the stone giant, holding a top-grade earth-rank sword that shone with golden light.

A sharp sword aura swept towards Lin Aoxue at great speed, and it was an attack imbued with sword intent, not just ordinary sword aura.

Lin Aoxue sensed it immediately. She tried to dodge, but found that her sword was stuck and she couldn't retract her energy. She now only had two choices: either abandon her sword or trust Ye Liuyun.

As a sword cultivator, Lin Aoxue would certainly not abandon her weapon.

Just as Jin Qian's attack was about to reach Lin Aoxue, a huge bronze cauldron appeared out of thin air and blocked the path of the sword attack.

"Boom!" A huge explosion rang out in the snow.

Jin Qian felt as if his attack was like a hammer striking a golden bell, instantly cracking the web between his thumb and forefinger.

"This? It's so hard." Jin Qian was forced to withdraw his attack, his arm trembling uncontrollably.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Qian, you seem to have forgotten about me. Take this cauldron!" Ye Liuyun appeared behind the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron and then kicked it away with a powerful kick.

As the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron flew out, it rapidly grew larger, quickly reaching a size of tens of meters. Ye Liuyun hadn't used the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron in battle for a long time, and with Ye Liuyun reaching the True Essence Realm, the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron could now unleash even greater power.

"Don't even think about it." Tu Jun immediately stretched out his other large hand and grabbed at the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron.

However, to Tu Jun's surprise, the moment his hand touched the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron, an irresistible weight shattered one of his thick earth avatar's arms on the spot.

"This? How is this possible?" Jin Qian, who was hiding behind the Earth Body, changed his expression and dodged away the moment Tu Jun blocked.

If he didn't dodge, this thing would have hit him.

This scene surprised the people from the Holy Lord's Palace, because they recognized the method used by Tu Jun. Tu Jun possessed a rare earth-attribute physique called the Thick Earth Divine Body, which was an extremely defensive physique.

However, to his surprise, Ye Liuyun smashed the arm of the Thick Earth Dharma Body with a single cauldron, which was almost unbelievable in the eyes of the Five Elements Saint Lord.

Even Lin Aoxue's sword strike, which had reached the third level of the Nascent Soul realm, was unable to sever the arm of the Thick Earth Divine Body.

However, Ye Liuyun's cauldron was able to completely shatter the arm of the Thick Earth Dharma Body, which shows that if the cauldron were to strike the body of Tu Jun's Thick Earth Dharma Body, it could also be easily shattered.

Chapter 616 Suppression (5000 words + 1200 monthly votes bonus chapter)

The combination of Jin Qian and Tu Jun is known as the strongest shield and the strongest spear in the Five Elements Holy Land.

The two of them enjoyed teaming up for training and missions in the Five Elements Holy Land. Their highest achievement as a duo was slaying a monster that was about to enter the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm.

What does it mean for a demon beast to be about to enter the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm? The early stage of the Transformation Realm for a demon beast is equivalent to the fourth to sixth level of the Nascent Soul Realm for a human cultivator. Being about to enter the mid-stage means having combat power close to the seventh level.

The realm of demonic beasts is rather vague, and many factors influence their combat power, the most important of which is bloodline.

If a demon beast in the early stage of the Transformation Realm has an ordinary bloodline, it may only be at the second level of the Primordial Spirit Realm. If it is a Primordial Evil Species, it is at the third level. If it is a Divine Beast Bloodline in the early stage, it is definitely at the fourth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm or above.

Not all monsters can cross multiple levels.

The initial stage of the Demon Beast Transformation Mystic Realm is equivalent to the second to fourth level of the Human Primordial Spirit, the middle stage is equivalent to the fifth to seventh level of the Primordial Spirit, the late stage is equivalent to the eighth to ninth level of the Primordial Spirit, and the peak is the Nirvana level.

The peak of the Four Extreme Realms of Demonic Beasts corresponds to the first level of the Primordial Spirit.

Therefore, the combination of these two is already quite formidable, and this is not an exaggeration.

Unfortunately, they ran into Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.

"The Thick Earth Dharma Body was shattered. Was it Ye Liuyun's power, or was it the problem with the cauldron?" Jin Qian, who had dodged the attack, immediately analyzed the reason.

Tu Jun was also somewhat bewildered, but he quickly gathered his strength to restore his right arm, then roared and forcefully broke Lin Aoxue's sword light in two.

With her method forcibly shattered, Lin Aoxue was immediately forced to retreat a distance.

As for Ye Liuyun, after helping Lin Aoxue out of the predicament, she retrieved her Myriad Medicines Cauldron and once again entered stealth mode.

This made Jin Qian and Tu Jun quite uncomfortable.

"Damn it, Tu Jun, find a way to force this invisible Ye Liuyun out, otherwise we won't be able to launch a full-scale attack," Jin Qian warned.

Upon hearing this, Tu Jun immediately took a deep breath and then stomped his right foot heavily on the ground.

At that moment, the earth shattered layer by layer, and space trembled violently. Ye Liuyun's body was immediately forced to appear in a certain area.

"Huh? You can break my invisibility like that?" Ye Liuyun was somewhat surprised.

The moment Ye Liuyun appeared, Tu Jun's Earth Body immediately opened its mouth wide towards Ye Liuyun's location, spewing out a large number of sharp stone cones, forcing Ye Liuyun to be unable to enter stealth mode again.

As the falling rocks rained down, Ye Liuyun quickly raised the Myriad Medicines Cauldron and retreated while dodging them.

Seeing this, Lin Aoxue quickly made a move. The sword in his hand emitted a mysterious energy fluctuation, which she then flung away.

With this seemingly casual sword strike, an invisible storm of sword energy emanated from it.

"The sword intent of wind?" Jin Qian immediately sensed the technique used by Lin Aoxue.

However, he didn't have time to deal with Lin Aoxue, and instead spoke to Tu Jun.

"Junior brother, you hold off Lin Aoxue, I'll deal with Ye Liuyun. She's too much of a threat to you, I can't let you get close to her." Jin Qian said, then disappeared from the spot and charged towards Ye Liuyun.

Tu Jun was immediately enveloped by Lin Aoxue's Wind Sword Intent and was unable to continue attacking Ye Liuyun. He could only resist the Qi-cutting power contained in the Wind Sword Intent.

The sword energy left countless sword marks on his Earth Body.

"Damn it, I thought I'd been matched with someone easy to deal with, but I didn't expect to run into such a troublesome opponent." Tu Jun's defense is really strong. Lin Aoxue's sword intent can only force him to defend passively and cannot break through his Dharma body.

Lin Aoxue glanced at Ye Liuyun's location, then prepared to help him, since Jin Qian's power was beyond Ye Liuyun's current capacity to withstand.

However, just as Lin Aoxue was about to go to Ye Liuyun's aid, Tu Jun shouted loudly.

"Your opponent is me, Gravity Domain - Open." A strong gravity emanated from Tu Jun's avatar, instantly pressing Lin Aoxue to the spot.

Lin Aoxue felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on her, and she was unable to move for a moment.

Her first thought was whether she should reveal some of her methods to deal with Tu Jun.

However, just as Lin Aoxue was about to activate her Ascension Immortal Body, she heard Ye Liuyun's voice.

"Aoxue, you play with this big guy for a while. Don't worry, although my strength is not as good as Jin Qian's, with my pills, I'm not necessarily afraid of him." Ye Liuyun used the Myriad Medicines Cauldron to defend against Jin Qian's attacks while transmitting his voice to Lin Aoxue.

Because she could tell that Lin Aoxue was about to use her Ascension Immortal Body, it was best not to reveal too many of her abilities during the preliminary rounds.

Otherwise, they will be easily targeted in later matches.

Hearing this, Lin Aoxue felt a little relieved.

However, she couldn't just let herself be suppressed by the other party's methods forever.

"Hmph! Primordial Spirit Dharma Form." Lin Aoxue did not use the power of her Immortal Body, but she did use her cultivation level techniques.

An enlarged version of Lin Aoxue appeared rapidly behind her, her strength increasing several times over and her resistance to gravity also becoming stronger.

Not only that, Lin Aoxue also activated the Earth-rank magic weapon in her hand. The sword rapidly grew larger and was then grasped by her primordial spirit avatar, which stabbed towards Tu Jun's thick earth avatar.

She had already witnessed the defensive strength of Tu Jun's Dharma Body, which was difficult to break through with sword techniques, but it was not certain that it could be broken by relying on the power of the Earth-rank top-grade magic weapon itself.

As Tu Jun watched Lin Aoxue's primordial spirit avatar attack, he also summoned his own magic weapon. A top-grade earth-rank armor appeared on his body, and the armor suddenly emerged from the body of the Thick Earth Dharma Body.

His defenses also increased several times over at this moment. Lin Aoxue's sword was intercepted by his armor when it pierced his chest, and it couldn't penetrate at all.

"A lump of iron," Lin Aoxue said unhappily.

Looking at Ye Liuyun's side, Ye Liuyun was holding a miniature version of the Myriad Medicines Cauldron and fighting back and forth with Tu Jun.

Tu Jun's speed was similar to Ye Liuyun's, so he didn't have much of an advantage. He was probably good at close combat, but unfortunately, every attack he launched was blocked by Ye Liuyun's Myriad Medicines Cauldron.

"Why is it so hard? What grade of magic weapon is this cauldron? My top-grade earth-rank sword is actually warning me?" After attacking several times in a row, his sword began to actively resist the earth cauldron.

Because a Rank 1 magic weapon has its own consciousness, if its master continues to use it to fight against the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron head-on, it will be destroyed immediately, and it will definitely resist.

Tu Jun had already pushed Ye Liuyun far away. He glanced out of the corner of his eye at the battlefield area where Lin Aoxue and his junior brother were fighting fiercely, but Tu Jun was not at a disadvantage.

"That's about enough." Tu Jun sheathed his sword, then formed a sword incantation with his hands, and streams of golden sword energy shot out from his fingertips.

However, Ye Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was far away from Lin Aoxue. He had finally encountered a formidable opponent and was going to try out his long-unused trump card.

Ye Liuyun immediately used the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron to block the guy's sword energy attack, but each strike was very heavy, and Ye Liuyun was forced to retreat again and again.

"As expected, it's the problem with this bronze cauldron. If we attack with pure sword energy, there won't be that kind of backlash," Jin Qian murmured.

But just then, Ye Liuyun shouted a reminder.

"Let's look at the treasure."

Jin Qian was taken aback and instinctively looked up at Ye Liuyun. But upon looking, he discovered that a pill-like object had flown out from behind Ye Liuyun's medicine cauldron.

"Pills?" Jin Qian was a little confused.

He had fallen into a trap. Ye Liuyun had deliberately lured him to look at the pill. Sure enough, the next moment, the pill exploded on the spot, bursting out with an incredibly dazzling white light, leaving Jin Qian's eyes completely blinded.

"Light? Damn it, we've fallen for their trap." Jin Qian quickly closed his eyes and used his powerful divine sense at the Yuan Shen realm to lock onto Ye Liuyun. However, the moment his divine sense looked at Ye Liuyun, he heard another loud sonic boom.

The sound was so loud that he couldn't concentrate.

"Damn it!" Jin Qian was completely stunned.

Ye Liuyun's tactics are still effective. She upgraded these pills, so they are still effective even against Nascent Soul cultivators.

"It's my turn to fight back." Ye Liuyun activated all the pills in his body that could enhance his strength and speed. Various kinds of light flashed around his body, and he disappeared from his original spot, appearing behind Jin Qian.

"Falling Flower Palm." Ye Liuyun struck Jin Qian's back heavily with his palm, using all his strength.

Unfortunately, Jin Qian must have a defensive magic treasure on him. The power of this palm strike was blocked by the magic treasure, and the magic treasure also deflected the force of Ye Liuyun's palm strike.

"Tch!" Seeing that his palm strike had no effect, Ye Liuyun immediately turned around and kicked Jin Qian in the back.

This time, Jin Qian couldn't withstand it and was sent flying.

Not only that, as he flew away, Ye Liuyun conjured the Xuan Tie Mountain in her hand and hurled it heavily at Jin Qian, who was flying away.

Xuan Tieshan rapidly grew larger and crashed into Jin Qian.

This blow really hurt Jin Qian. He spat out a mouthful of blood, as the shockwave from the Xuan Tie Mountain had caused him internal injuries.

In fact, Ye Liuyun could have used the Myriad Medicines Cauldron to smash him, but she didn't want people to pay attention to it for the time being. Winning was all that mattered, and a little trouble was no problem.

"Jin Qian!" The cultivators from the Five Elements Holy Land over the Holy Lord Palace exclaimed in surprise.

All of this happened so suddenly. Jin Qian was the one who was beating Ye Liuyun up, but suddenly he was the one being beaten.

"What kind of bizarre methods are these? Blinding white light and ear-piercing roar." Ye Liuyun's methods left everyone completely bewildered.

Of course, what they couldn't understand was why Jin Qian couldn't withstand the white light and sound. In their perception, the white light was a bit dazzling and the sound was a bit harsh, but it seemed to have no harmful power.

However, judging from Jin Qian's reaction, he completely resisted.

Ye Liuyun's pill contains immortal power. No matter what realm you are, you will still be affected. It's just a matter of how fast you recover.

Jin Qian has recovered after being knocked away. Xuan Tieshan's attack made him feel very uncomfortable, but it was still within his tolerance range.

"What kind of nonsense attacks are these?" Jin Qian steadied himself and floated in the air without falling.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then stared at Ye Liuyun on the ground with a solemn expression.

"Fairy Ye, you're amazing! We underestimated you two from the very beginning. We didn't expect your Daoist partner to be able to fight my junior brother to a standstill, and you were even able to suppress me. However, I can't play with you any longer." Jin Qian took a deep breath, and a golden aura ignited around him.

Then, golden energy quickly condensed into a primordial spirit dharma image behind him.

The moment this Dharma form appeared, countless golden sword lights descended from the sky, falling towards Ye Liuyun's location.

The power of this attack was close to that of the fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm. Ye Liuyun dared not withstand it head-on. She wanted to dodge it using her speed, but suddenly a powerful pressure descended from the sky, forcing her to be unable to move.

Ye Liu really couldn't withstand the pressure from the third level of the Nascent Soul realm.

"As expected, you are a cultivator, and you haven't even reached the third level of the Nascent Soul realm. You can't withstand my pressure. Annihilate." Jin Qian was getting serious. Countless golden sword lights took advantage of the moment when Ye Liuyun was suppressed by the pressure and swarmed down on her.

Ye Liuyun definitely couldn't take this attack head-on; not even one hit would be enough.

"A troublesome tactic." Ye Liuyun's body vanished into thin air the moment the sword light fell.

"Huh? It disappeared?" Jin Qian was stunned. Then all his attacks missed, but his reaction speed was very fast.

He immediately swung his sword behind him.

"Heh? As expected of someone at the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm of the Holy Land, they actually reacted." Ye Liuyun disappeared into thin air once again.

Jin Qian's sword missed again, a feeling that made him very uneasy.

"The sky?" Jin Qian quickly looked up at the sky, only to see a huge, dark object with a terrifying sense of oppression falling towards him.
