Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

"Buzz!"

A pure and unparalleled sound wave surged forth from Wen Mengyao's zither, condensing into a huge, semi-transparent string shadow that swept towards Teng Luo and Teng Li in a visible form.

"Humph."

Tengluo snorted coldly, transforming into its true form as a hundred-zhang-tall Heavenly Demon Tree, its canopy blotting out the sky and the sun. Then, with a sudden flick, thousands of leaves shot out like arrows released from a bow, carrying a terrifying killing aura.

However, wherever the string's shadow passed, the space emitted a clear, shattering sound, and the thousands of leaves that had been shooting through the air suddenly stopped, motionless. The next instant, without a sound, their bodies, like ice and snow thrown into the blazing sun, crumbled inch by inch from the moment they made contact, disintegrating into dust and scattering away.

"boom!"

The tree canopy that blocked out the sky was halved by the shadow of the string, leaving only a straight, smooth, bottomless ravine on the scorched earth, with faint sound wave vibrations still remaining at the edge, emitting a continuous, low hum.

"laugh!"

The vine transformed into a tree-human form, coughing up blood, with an ancient lamp flickering eerily above its head.

With a single blow, Teng Luo was severely injured by Wen Mengyao.

This scene shocked Dugu Wu, Xu Nianzhen, Luo Cang and others.

They could sense that Wen Mengyao's strength had increased by more than just a little bit.

If Wen Mengyao had possessed this strength during the previous Star Domain Battle, she would definitely have been ranked not only on the Earth Ranking, but would certainly have made it into the top five of the Heaven Ranking.

Originally, based on Wen Mengyao's eleventh place on the previous Hidden Dragon List, Dugu Wu hadn't paid much attention to her. But now, his expression was somewhat solemn; she was definitely a formidable enemy.

Wen Mengyao did not want to give Teng Luo any more chance to breathe. Seeing that he was seriously injured, she plucked the strings of her zither again, intending to end Teng Luo's life.

Teng Luo also noticed Wen Mengyao's actions and shouted to Bai Po, "Help me kill her! My Heavenly Demon Tree Clan will help you kill Chen Mo!"

"very good."

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since Wen Fengyao had already stood against it, Bai Po immediately agreed to Teng Luo's request. Now that it was at a disadvantage, bringing Teng Luo in would increase its strength.

Then Li Anzheng stepped in and blocked the fatal blow for Teng Luo.

Wen Mengyao's eyes turned cold as she stared at Li Anzheng and said in a cold voice, "Do you think you can protect him?"

After saying that, Wen Mengyao made another move.

Bai Yao, Luo Cang, and Dugu Wu naturally wouldn't stand idly by and planned to lend a hand.

A group of contestants from the Miaoyin Sect stood in front of the three, each with outstanding appearances, like goddesses or celestial beings, ethereal and captivating. Among them, Jing Chan said, "Your opponents are us."

"Amitabha."

Fa'er also made his move. He merely raised his eyelids, revealing two deep pools beneath them. The water was initially calm and still, but then, a point of pure, ancient golden light quietly shone from his eyes.

"Snapped!"

A soft yet clear crack, louder than any noise, shattered one of the beads on the ancient rosary he was twirling between his fingers. Before the tiny wood shavings could even disperse, they were fixed in mid-air by an invisible force.

"Gate Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha"

The deep, soothing Sanskrit chant flowed from Fa'er's mouth. The sound was not loud, but it had a strange penetrating power, like the first tolling of a morning bell, instantly washing over the entire world like ripples. Every syllable seemed to have a substantial weight.

As the ancient Heart Sutra was chanted, the golden light that had shone from Fa'er's eyes suddenly spread out. It was no longer a faint point, but a pure, warm, clear golden light containing infinite compassion and supreme majesty, centered on his slightly thin body. It silently bloomed, initially rippling like waves, and instantly transformed into a golden sea of ​​light that swept across the heavens and the earth.

"The Buddha's light shines!"

He was not a blazing, violent flame, but he possessed an irresistible purifying power, heading straight for Chen Mo. His target was always Chen Mo.

"You bald monk, how dare you!" Dongfang Nishang shouted coldly. Lin Miao protected Dongfang Nishang, while Lin Chen charged forward.

"Uncle Yi, Brother Yuan."

Huang Su looked at Feng Yi and Feng Yuan.

"Let's go too." Fengyi nodded and whispered, leading the Chiyuan Clan contestants towards the Bitter Sea.

The great war broke out completely.

Chen Mo looked left and right and found that those who were targeting him were being blocked by the people around him, and he was in a safe "space".

In this case.

Chen Mo's gaze sharpened.

"You sick cat, I'd like to see whether you or I die this time."

Chen Mo's gaze immediately locked onto the unattended Bai Po. This was a great opportunity. All of its battle servants at the peak of the fourth realm had gone to deal with Wen Mengyao and Xu Nianzhen, leaving only a few battle servants at the late stage of the fourth realm to protect it.

"Master Jia, please help me."

Chen Mo, wielding the Light and Shadow Sword, charged towards Bai Po. Having consumed a half-magic artifact, "Armor Breaker," the hole in his chest was almost fully repaired. Having had a hearty meal, Bai Po was generous, unleashing a torrent of radiant light that enveloped Chen Mo.

"Little Lord."

Upon seeing this scene, Bai Yao was greatly alarmed. The young master was the patriarch's darling and the only heir. If anything happened to the young master, the patriarch would skin him alive. He immediately had to return to defend.

The same applies to Li Anzheng, Luo Cang, and others.

But Wen Mengyao and Xu Nianzhen would not let them have their way.

"Protect the young master." The several battle servants at the late stage of the fourth realm stood in front of Bai Po.

"go away!"

Dongfang Nishang's long spear swept across the sky, tearing through the void as she slashed forward. Her long hair flowed freely, making her appear like a female warrior, clearing away the obstacles for Chen Mo.

"Chen Mo, I'm here to help you."

"Heavenly Fire Phoenix Dance Seal!"

Huang Su's Heavenly Fire Phoenix Dance Seal, formed by her hands, was complete. She pressed it forward with a roar, clearing away the obstacles in Chen Mo's path together with Dongfang Nishang.

Although Dongfang Nishang is only in the mid-stage of the Spirit Void Realm, she is born with a spiritual body and her strength exceeds two million, making her stronger than most late-stage fourth-realm cultivators. Moreover, she is a true whale (a person who spends a lot of money on in-game purchases). She wears soft armor made from a high-grade earth-rank magic weapon fused with the bones of a blue dragon and wields a spear made from a high-grade earth-rank magic weapon. She can even fight against cultivators at the peak of the fourth realm. How could Bai Po's late-stage fourth-realm servants be a match for her?

Although Huang Su was only at the early stage of the fourth realm, she had awakened the phoenix bloodline and received personal instruction from a seventh-realm expert, so she was already able to fight against cultivators at the late stage of the fourth realm.

The two women, working together, have cleared away these obstacles for Chen Mo, creating a one-on-one environment for him.

The outside world was in an uproar.

It is said that fortunes change every thirty years, sometimes east and sometimes west.

But has it been thirty years?
How long has it been? How did Bai Po suddenly find himself in such a precarious situation? "Damn it."

The powerful members of the White Jade Tiger Clan all had dark faces, their tiger eyes lowered, their gazes flickering, as if they were somewhat restless.

It seems they will intervene whenever things go wrong.

Huang Yi was on guard against it, just as it had been on guard against Huang Yi before.

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Faced with Chen Mo's attack, Bai Po's expression darkened, but he was not afraid. With a thought, a silver-white armor covered his entire body. The silver-white armor then glowed, making Bai Po look like a divine beast, shining brightly in the world.

Compared to this silver-white armor, Chen Mo's tattered armor, no matter how brightly it glowed, looked rather shabby, like heaven and earth.

In addition to the armor, Bai Po also summoned a "fierce beast" skull.

The moment the "skull of a ferocious beast" appeared, a chilling aura of killing intent, so intense that even a single glance was painful, swept out like ripples, repelling Chen Mo who was lunging forward.

"White Tiger Skull?" Chen Mo's gaze sharpened, clearly recognizing the skull.

The outside world was also taken aback.

Many cultivators who had participated in the previous ancient ruins encounter were immediately surprised and asked, "Wasn't this white tiger skull obtained by the Jiang family of the ancient clan? How did it end up in Bai Po's hands?"

All eyes turned to Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng coughed lightly and said, "This white tiger skull is not of much use to my Jiang family. It just so happened that the patriarch of the White Jade Tiger Clan came to ask for it in person. I gave it to him because I was soft-hearted. I didn't expect that it really loves its child and actually let Bai Po bring it to the Star Domain War."

The eyes of the powerful figure from the Liu family of the ancient clan flickered. Others might not know about the Jiang family, but he was well aware that the Jiang family was notoriously stingy. Once something was in the Jiang family's pocket, it wasn't so easy to get it out.

The White Jade Tiger Clan must have paid a heavy price to take this white tiger skull from the Jiang family.

Upon hearing Jiang Heng's words, the powerful member of the White Jade Tiger Clan's lips twitched slightly. The things the clan had given up for this White Tiger skull were enough to exchange for several Heaven-grade magic treasures.

Not to mention, the blood and marrow on the white tiger skull that was exchanged had already been taken by the Jiang family, leaving only the bones.

As long as there is even a trace of blood essence remaining, the clan can find a way to fuse this white tiger skull with the young master.

However, even without the blood and marrow, the white tiger skull is not entirely without value.

Thanks to the trace of white tiger bloodline possessed by the White Jade Tiger Clan, members of the clan can use their own blood to activate the white tiger skull and unleash a trace of its divine power in its lifetime.

"I originally intended to use it to compete for the Star Domain War Heavenly Ranking, but I didn't expect to use it against you ahead of time. You can die without regrets under the power of the White Tiger."

As he spoke, a look of heartache flashed in Bai Po's eyes. The white tiger skull was, in the end, just an inanimate object. Even if it could be activated with his own blood to release a trace of the white tiger's divine power in life, there was a limit to the number of times it could be used. If it was used too much, the divinity left by the white tiger skull would gradually be exhausted, and it would completely become an ordinary mortal bone.

But as painful as it is, now that we've come this far, if we don't use it now, we'll never have another chance.

It slashed its paw, and a drop of blood flew toward the white tiger's skull. The moment the blood touched the skull, it was instantly absorbed.

The white tiger skull, now infused with blood, seemed to come alive at this moment. A fierce and violent overwhelming pressure swept out from the skull and instantly filled the entire area, causing the battle between Wen Mengyao and Xu Nianzhen to stop, and they all turned their attention to this place.

Just as this terrifying pressure was about to exceed a certain limit, the world fell silent, as if a force even stronger than the white tiger skull had descended from the heavens to suppress it.

"The Hetu and Luoshu are being restrained by Father Emperor's Hetu and Luoshu," Dongfang Nishang exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that the Hetu Luoshu was a true immortal treasure, perfectly preserved. With it suppressing this world, nothing could surpass the four realms.

"Damn Emperor Xuan".

Bai Po murmured to himself, if it weren't for the suppression of the Hetu Luoshu, with the White Tiger Skull, no one in this world would be its match.

Even when suppressed, the divine power unleashed by the White Tiger Skull was still stronger than that of a typical fourth-realm perfectionist.

"Roar!"

The skull writhed, its mouth opening even wider, and a deafening roar, like the sound of a tiger ravaging the earth, roared out from the white tiger skull. In everyone's eyes, this roar sounded like a real divine beast, the white tiger, its four hooves treading on the void, pouncing towards Chen Mo.

"Azure Dragon Seal!"

"Phoenix Seal!"

"梼杌 seal!"

Chen Mo, on the other hand, naturally didn't just obediently wait to die without taking any action. The moment he recognized the white tiger skull, he began to form hand seals.

"The three seals unite as one, the power of the three symbols."

Chen Mo suddenly merged the three seals together.

The strengthening of his spiritual power, primordial spirit, and physical strength made the process of Chen Mo's three seals fusion much less strenuous than the first time.

When the White Tiger was less than a foot away, the three seals were successfully merged.

Chen Mo pushed him out suddenly.

The white tiger skull is ultimately an inanimate object, and the blood of the white spirit is not actually the blood of a white tiger.

The burst of divine power from the White Tiger in its lifetime was truly just a trace of divine power.

Even a fraction of a percent, or a tiny fraction of a ten-millionth, is still a trace.

Chen Mo's Azure Dragon Seal, Phoenix Seal, and Taotie Seal were all cultivated using the blood of real divine beasts. Now, the three seals were fused together and collided, actually managing to withstand the white tiger.

However, the reason why the White Tiger is a divine beast is that its divine power is not only used to destroy the physical body, but also to target the primordial spirit.

Although the White Tiger was blocked by the power of the Three Symbols, the killing aura it carried rushed straight into Chen Mo's sea of ​​consciousness.

Chen Mo's expression froze, and his eyes went blank.

Seeing Chen Mo's blank stare, Bai Po thought he had succeeded and was overjoyed. He said, "You didn't even try to hide from the divine power of the White Tiger, but dared to resist. Once your primordial spirit perishes, no one can save you."

"Chen Mo." Dongfang Nishang and Huang Su looked over in unison, their faces showing worry.

"I'm fine." Chen Mo's dazed eyes quickly returned to normal, and with a burst of energy, he tore apart the white tiger in front of him and charged at Bai Po again: "No matter how many treasures I have, they can't save you."

"how is this possible?"

Bai Po's expression changed drastically. The killing intent of the White Tiger had surged into Chen Mo's sea of ​​consciousness. How could he be completely unharmed?

What it didn't know was that when the white tiger's murderous aura rushed into Chen Mo's sea of ​​consciousness, the golden crow in the latter's dantian awoke and swallowed the murderous aura whole.

Therefore, this murderous aura not only had no effect on Chen Mo, but also fueled the growth of the Golden Crow within him. (End of Chapter)
