Honghuang: I am Qitian and I want to fight for the throne

Chapter 438 Resurrection Fails Again
"Not bad!"

Jieyin's victory made Shangfang Hongjun nod in satisfaction.

His ashen face softened slightly.

In the end, they managed to turn the tide and stop Huaguo Mountain's winning streak.

The disciples of the Xuanmen sect cheered, their frustration from the previous defeats dissipating slightly.

However, the morale of Huaguo Mountain remained unaffected, as they had just achieved a five-game winning streak.

Tongtian, Wangshu, Wanshuanghua, Sun Yuan, and Kong Xuan all won their battles.

It was just one defeat.

"I come!"

A clear and melodious shout resounded through the chaotic void, and a stream of light shot out from the Flower Fruit Mountain camp, instantly appearing on the chaotic battle platform occupied by Burning Lamp!
As the light faded, a stunningly beautiful figure was revealed.

She wore a plain white Taoist robe, its flowing fabric unable to conceal her exquisite figure.

Her hair was as black as a waterfall, and her face was exquisite.

It was none other than Jiang Ling'er, the fifth disciple under Qi Tian!

"Light the lamp!"

Jiang Ling'er gazed at the lamp shrouded in a faint, deathly gray light, her voice as cold as ice:

"Do you dare to fight me?"

"Amitabha!"

Ran Deng slowly opened his eyes, his voice hoarse and low, carrying a strange calmness.

“Benefactor Jiang, you are too violent and lack a Dao heart. You will surely lose this battle. It would be better to retreat now to avoid damaging the harmony.”

"Without further ado!"

Jiang Ling'er shouted angrily, "Let's see who's better! Look at this hairpin!"

Before the words were even finished, the seemingly ordinary jade hairpin in her hair suddenly shone brightly!

"Om-!"

A soft hum, seemingly emanating from the primordial chaos, resounded throughout the universe.

The gentle moonlight instantly transformed into a piercingly cold light, erupting with a deafening roar!

The Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure – Divine Jade Hairpin!

This hairpin belonged to Xihe, the ancient goddess of the demon court!

Born on the Moon!

In the past, Hou Yi shot down nine suns, and Xi He lost nine sons. Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, she sacrificed herself to activate the source of the moon and merged with the laurel tree, the innate spiritual root that grew alongside the moon star!
With unparalleled sealing power, the souls of the culprit Hou Yi and his wife Chang'e were imprisoned within the laurel tree!
When Xihe fell, Qitian happened to be present, and the divine jade hairpin was obtained by Qitian.

Later, it was bestowed upon Jiang Ling'er.

As soon as the Divine Jade Hairpin appeared, the entire Chaos Battle Platform was instantly enveloped by the Taiyin Cold Tide, as if it had been transformed into the ancient, frozen ruins of the Moon Palace.

Countless fine yet incredibly sharp Moonlight Needles rained down like a torrential downpour.

With terrifying power that could freeze souls and seal all things, it swept towards the lamp!

Facing the dense, terrifying needles, Randeng remained calm.

"The Origin Domain of Annihilation!"

A gray, hazy bead, seemingly about to dim at any moment, appeared.

The supreme innate spiritual treasure—the Annihilation Source Pearl!
This pearl was born from the very first trace of the "annihilation" law in the world at the beginning of chaos!

It was obtained by Zhunti, and later given to Dipankara in order to allow him to join Buddhism.

The moment the Annihilation Source Pearl appeared, the already dense aura of the Annihilation Law around Burning Lamp suddenly surged a thousandfold!
An invisible, absolutely empty and annihilated realm, centered on the Source Pearl of Annihilation, instantly spread out!
"Chichichi..."

The moment Jiang Ling'er's Moonlight Needle entered this desolate domain, it was as if it had been thrown into the ultimate void, directly decomposed, assimilated, and annihilated, returning to the most primordial nothingness!
Not even a ripple was stirred.

The figure of the lamp remained motionless at the center of the desolate realm.

Those seemingly slowly spreading gray ripples carried a despairing, irresistible force of impending doom.

"Hiss! The Law of Annihilation! He has actually comprehended it to such a degree!"

"This Burning Lamp's cultivation is too profound. He's only a hair's breadth away from attaining the Great Luo Primordial Realm!"

"How come he seems even stronger than Zhunti?"

"Although Jiang Ling'er's divine jade hairpin is powerful, containing the sealing power of Taiyin, it is still difficult to face this near-primordial annihilation... It's too difficult!"

The powerful figures watching the battle all changed color.

The profound understanding of annihilation demonstrated by the lamp far exceeded their expectations.

Jiang Ling'er, on the other side, also had her pupils shrink, shocked.

She never imagined that the other party's law of annihilation was so pure and powerful as to be so unbelievable!

The full-force attack of the Divine Jade Hairpin was so easily neutralized!
"I do not believe!"

Jiang Ling'er gritted her teeth, formed hand seals, and poured all her magical power into the Divine Jade Hairpin.

"The moon seals the heavens! The moon falls and the star sinks!"

The divine jade hairpin's radiance changes once more!
No longer were the scattered divine needles, but suddenly expanded, transforming into a gigantic jade pillar that reached the heavens and the earth.

A phantom of a laurel tree appeared on the pillar, and as the shadows swayed, an unparalleled pressure descended!
With a terrifying power that could suppress eternity and seal time and space, it crashed down fiercely towards Burning Lamp's domain of annihilation!
Ran Deng's pupils contracted, and his expression turned solemn.

The Annihilation Source Bead in his palm spun rapidly.

"Annihilation... Return to nothingness!"

In an instant, a point appeared at the center of the annihilation domain.

A pure, absolute point of "nothingness"!
The enormous phantom of the laurel tree, carrying a devastating force, crashed into that "point".

There was no sound, no burst of light.

Only... devour!
Like a black hole devouring stars, the enormous laurel tree phantom was torn apart and disintegrated by an irresistible force the moment it touched that point of "nothingness".

The illusory image of the laurel tree became increasingly ethereal and transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually disappearing completely into that point of "nothingness".

"puff!"

Jiang Ling'er felt as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The divine jade hairpin, its brilliance dimmed, flew back into her hair bun!
Dipankara clasped his hands together again: "Benefactor, your cultivation is still shallow. Admit defeat and do not waste your magic power and damage your foundation."

"Admit defeat? Don't even think about it!"

Jiang Ling'er wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her beautiful eyes burning with anger.

A thought came to my mind.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

Three dazzling beams of light suddenly appeared.

A giant shield as red as fire, a jade ruler entirely blue, and a precious lamp emitting a hazy aura.

"what?!"

"Three more top-grade innate spiritual treasures!"

"She...she's going to..."

Everyone watching, including Randeng himself, instantly understood Jiang Ling'er's intention!

"Madmen! They're all madmen! Who would self-destruct a magical artifact like that!"

"What a waste!"

"The battle between Flower Fruit Mountain and the Xuanmen sect has resulted in the self-destruction of eleven top-grade innate spiritual treasures!"

"My heart hurts so much!"

"Explode! Explode! Explode!!!"

boom! boom! boom! ! !
Three deafening roars, as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart, exploded without any interval!

A terrifying torrent of destruction crashed down upon the annihilation domain of the Burning Lamp!

"Not good!!!" Sensing a deadly threat, Randeng frantically activated the Annihilation Source Pearl, pushing the Annihilation Law he had comprehended in his life to its limit!
A deeper and more solid "point of annihilation" formed in front of him, attempting to devour and annihilate this world-destroying energy storm!
however!
This time, the Annihilation Source Pearl has met its match!
The combined destructive energy of those three streams was so violent, chaotic, and of such a high level of origin that it exceeded the limit that the Annihilation Source Pearl could "digest" in an instant!

Rumble, rumble—! ! !
It was as if billions of stars had vanished at once; an indescribably blinding light engulfed everything, and everyone instinctively closed their eyes.

The light lasted for a very long time before slowly fading away.

The chaotic battle arena was a scene of utter devastation.

The space was torn open with countless dark cracks that could not be healed for a long time, and chaotic airflow poured in violently.

Jiang Ling'er's face was deathly pale, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and her breath was greatly diminished.

And the location of the lamp...

Only a relic the size of a pigeon egg, with a grayish-white and withered color, and the Source Pearl of Annihilation, floated quietly in the aftershocks of the violent energy.

The aura of the Taoist Ran Deng has completely disappeared!
It's as if it never existed!
The lamp... has fallen?!
Everyone was shocked. The first person to fall in the battle between Huaguo Mountain and Xuanmen had appeared.

hum!
However, at that moment, the suspended Annihilation Source Pearl suddenly trembled slightly!
The gray and withered relic, as if summoned by some irresistible force, turned into a gray light with a "whoosh" and was instantly absorbed into the Annihilation Source Pearl!

Immediately afterwards, the Source Pearl of Annihilation erupted with an unprecedentedly brilliant gray light. At the moment it reached its peak, a point of golden light appeared from within the gray light.

No longer desolation and destruction, but in the extreme "extinction", a tiny, yet real, life force was born!
Golden light flowed around it, beating like a heart!

A blurry human figure quickly emerged and coalesced in the golden light!
Flesh and blood regenerate! Bones are remodeled! The spirit returns to its rightful place!
In just a few breaths!

The Burning Lamp, exuding the aura of the Law of Annihilation, reappeared.

Exactly the same as before, the life imprint and aura remained unchanged.

"hiss--!!!"

"This...how is this possible?!"

"Resurrected from the dead?!"

The lamp's gaze seemed somewhat unfocused, but it quickly returned to clarity, and he clasped his hands together in prayer.

"The end of extinction is Nirvana. Amitabha Buddha."

"What a brilliant Burning Lamp! He has actually comprehended the Nirvana Great Law of the Law of Annihilation!"

Qi Tian, ​​watching from above, had golden eyes that shone brightly. Everything that had just happened inside the Annihilation Source Pearl and the relic had not escaped his discerning golden eyes.

"With relics as the guide and the Source Pearl of Nirvana as the foundation, as long as the relics and the Source Pearl are not destroyed, one can attain Nirvana in Nirvana and be reborn in death! It is close to immortality!"

Yuechan, Fuxi, and Nuwa, who were standing nearby, also showed expressions of surprise.

Even Hongjun was somewhat surprised; he hadn't realized that Randeng's talent for the Extinction Technique was so high!

Of course, Burning Lamp's immortality gives him a huge advantage under the path of enlightenment.

But when it encounters a Primordial Golden Immortal, even a relic cannot withstand it.

"Hmph, I give up!"

Just then, Jiang Ling'er's frustrated voice rang out.

He then returned to the Flower Fruit Mountain camp in a sullen mood.

She detonated her three top-grade innate spiritual treasures, and was severely injured by the backlash. The old monk Ran Deng actually came back to life, and all his injuries were completely healed.

There's simply no way we can fight anymore.

As Jiang Ling'er conceded defeat, the Xuanmen camp erupted in cheers once again, marking their second consecutive victory.

Meanwhile, within the Flower Fruit Mountain camp, Yun Zhongzi transmitted his voice to Jin Peng, who had been quietly observing the battle:
"Third Senior Brother, aren't you going to go?"

Jin Peng shook his head and replied telepathically:
"You fight first. My master instructed me to try my best to seize the authentic Primordial Purple Qi!"

"OK then!"

Although Yun Zhongzi was somewhat puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions. He then flashed and appeared before the second-generation chief disciple of the Xuanmen sect—

On the Chaos Battle Platform occupied by Xuandu.

"Senior Brother Xuandu, I am Yunzhongzi, and I have come here to learn from your profound skills! Please enlighten me!"

Yun Zhongzi's voice is gentle and warm!
"Junior Brother Yun Zhongzi, please."

Xuan Du's voice was equally calm.

Yun Zhongzi didn't stand on ceremony and directly brought out the Qiankun Cauldron.

Ancient and heavy, with three legs and two ears, it is engraved with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, wind, mountains, rivers, and the birth and death of all things, as if a complete universe has been engraved on it.

This cauldron is not only a tool for refining the acquired to the innate, but also has the effects of suppression and defense.

"What a fine cauldron!"

Xuan Du was also skilled in alchemy, and he looked at the Qiankun Cauldron with a hint of envy.

Then a serious expression appeared on his face.

It wasn't the Qiankun Cauldron itself that impressed him, but rather the Huaguo Mountain disciples' insane fighting style—their tendency to self-destruct top-grade innate spiritual treasures at the drop of a hat—that left a deep impression on him!
We dare not be the slightest bit presumptuous!
"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"

Three beams of precious light emerged from Xuandu's body!

With his left hand, he lifted up a pill furnace shrouded in purple mist, exuding a natural Daoist charm!

In his right hand he held a golden staff carved with nine lifelike dragons with flying scales and claws!

At the same time, a triangular banner embroidered with the Vermilion Bird of Fire fluttered in the wind, casting down countless crimson jewel-like protective rays that firmly guarded Xuandu in the center!

"Hiss... Three more top-grade innate spiritual treasures!"

"Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace! Nine Dragons Golden Staff! Flaming Banner Leaping from the Ground!"

"As expected of Taiqing's only direct disciple, he is indeed wealthy!"

The onlookers gasped in envy once more, then their expressions turned to disbelief and uncertainty:
"Could it be that Xuandu is... planning to follow the example of Huaguo Mountain and self-destruct these three top-grade innate spiritual treasures?"

"No way, these three are all top-tier items, they're self-destructing!"

"It's not impossible!"

"Self-destruction?"

Xuan Du, standing on the battle platform, listened to the discussions coming from below, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

He didn't have that idea.

What a luxury!

Meanwhile, Yun Zhongzi's eyelids twitched violently a few times!
Is it really necessary to come out fully armed like this, as if facing a formidable enemy?

He planned to use the Qiankun Cauldron to fight Xuandu first, to accumulate more combat experience.

after all,

He had always been engrossed in weapon crafting and rarely engaged in combat.

But now, Xuan Du—with a furnace in his left hand, a staff in his right, and top-tier defensive treasures protecting his body.
"This...is going to be tough!"

Yun Zhongzi felt a little frustrated, but his eyes quickly regained their firmness!
No matter how difficult the battle, we must fight. As disciples of Flower Fruit Mountain, we cannot shirk our duty! Nor can we be afraid to fight!

and,

He had one more top-grade innate spiritual treasure than his opponent, but the three treasures bestowed by his master for self-destruction were of lower quality than Xuandu's, with only the Qiankun Cauldron being comparable.

but,

He didn't intend to detonate the magical treasure directly; he planned to practice first.

"Senior Brother Xuandu, you have quite the wealth! I'm sorry for offending you!"

Yun Zhongzi's eyes narrowed, and the Qiankun Cauldron above his head trembled violently!
"Refine the void with the cauldron! Suppress!"

The Qiankun Cauldron suddenly expanded, and the vast chaotic and primordial energy transformed into chains of primordial yellow, carrying the intent of suppression and penetration, sweeping towards Xuandu!

"go with!"

Xuan Du slightly opened the lid of the Bagua Purple Gold Furnace in his left hand, and an invisible force of the Doushuai Divine Fire surged out.

Instead of burning directly, it formed a mysterious force field that met the Xuanhuang Chains.

At the same time, he swung the Nine Dragons Golden Staff in his right hand!
"hold head high--!!!"

Nine lifelike golden dragon phantoms roared and flew out from the golden staff!
He goes all out from the start!
