Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

Princess Blood Phoenix raised her head and looked at the five-colored imperial seal that was taking shape above her.

Her magical power had been depleted by more than 50% in the fierce battle just now, and she was now doubly imprisoned by the Law Domain and the Imperial Seal, so she had no way to escape.

But there was no fear in her eyes.

Only madness.

"Want to kill me?" She suddenly laughed, a hoarse and shrill laugh. "Then we'll die together!"

She bit her tongue hard, and her entire body's essence and blood instantly ignited!

The essence of blood transformed into a blood mist, merging into the Blood Phoenix Bow in his hand! The bow trembled violently, emitting a mournful phoenix cry!

The crimson phoenix flames on her body surged several feet, almost engulfing her entirely!

She poured all the remaining magic power in her body, along with her burning blood essence, into the bow!

The bowstring is drawn taut—

A massive arrow of blood was forming on the bowstring!

That was no ordinary arrow—a huge, blood-red phoenix phantom appeared around the arrow shaft!

The phoenix spread its wings, raised its head and cried out to the sky, exuding a sharp and terrifying pressure!

This arrow was the culmination of her life's cultivation.

That was her strongest attack!

Seeing this, Lin Zhao did not hesitate at all.

He raised his hand and summoned the three spirit dragons, which roared simultaneously and transformed into three streams of light that merged into the spiritual energy vortex above their heads!

The silver sword dragon transformed into a sky full of sword energy, the four-colored Yinglong transformed into four-colored spiritual light, and the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Dragon transformed into a raging thunder pillar—all three forces converged into the vortex of the Five Emperors Seal!

The vortex's rotation speed increased dramatically!

A burst of five-colored light suddenly shone, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it!

Amidst the radiance, an ancient, majestic seal, seemingly bearing the power of the five elements' birth and death, slowly took shape.

The Seals of the Five Emperors.

It is only the size of a palm, yet it seems to weigh a ton.

Five-colored spiritual light flowed around the seal, and with each flow, it seemed as if a world was being born and dying in a cycle of reincarnation.

The aura it exudes—

They've already reached the Core Formation level!

Lin Zhao did not hesitate.

Raise your hand and push it out.

The Five Emperor Seals flew towards Princess Blood Phoenix.

Wherever the great seal passed, space seemed to distort slightly.

At the same time, Princess Blood Phoenix also released the bowstring.

The Blood Phoenix Arrow transformed into a streak of crimson light, crashing headlong into the Five Emperors Seal!

The blood-red phoenix phantom surrounding the arrow let out a final long cry, spread its wings, and pounced on the enemy like a real phoenix!

The two forces collided in mid-air within the legal domain.

"boom--!!!"

A terrifying shockwave exploded!

Five-colored radiance intertwined with blood-red light, annihilated, and exploded, like a magnificent yet deadly firework blooming in the sky!

The shockwave swept outwards, carving deep trenches dozens of feet deep into the ground! The shattered earth and rocks were crushed into dust by the aftershocks before they even hit the ground!

Lin Zhao's body trembled violently, and he staggered back several steps, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Princess Blood Phoenix fared even worse—she was struck head-on by the shockwave and thrown several miles away like a rag doll.

The center of the battlefield where the collision occurred.

There, the Five Emperors' Seal and the Blood Phoenix Arrow had both disappeared.

All that remained were scattered rays of light.

It was a close contest.

Princess Blood Phoenix had disheveled hair and blood at the corner of her mouth, but her eyes shone with a frightening intensity.

She stared at Lin Zhao, then let out a hoarse laugh: "That's it? You think you can kill me with this?"

Lin Zhao remained silent.

He simply stared at Princess Blood Phoenix's hand.

A jade talisman had appeared in her hand without her noticing.

The jade talisman was dark purple all over, with densely engraved runes on its surface, and it exuded a chilling aura—the aura of Core Formation.

She suddenly crushed the jade talisman!

boom!!!

A terrifying aura suddenly exploded out!

Where the jade talisman shattered, the shadow of a huge cauldron appeared out of thin air!

It was a giant, dark purple cauldron, hundreds of feet long, with its surface covered in gilded demonic patterns that swirled with an eerie red light.

Purple Xuanding!

The illusory image of the ancestral magic weapon of the Zheng family patriarch!

As soon as the cauldron appeared, Lin Zhao's domain of power collapsed by more than half!

The five illusory mountains collapsed one after another, and the four-colored spiritual light scattered in all directions. The entire Dharma Domain was like glass that had been hit by a giant hammer, and it was covered with cracks!

The illusory image of the Purple Profound Cauldron, carrying a world-destroying force, slammed down fiercely towards Lin Zhao!

Lin Zhao's pupils contracted sharply.

He had no time to think, and retreated rapidly, simultaneously activating his magic treasure, the Nine Luminaries Thunder Pool, to create layers of lightning barriers in front of him.

boom!!!

The shadow of the cauldron crashed down!

The lightning barrier shattered layer by layer! Lin Zhao was hit by the aftershock and was sent flying like a cannonball, tumbling several times in the air before crashing into the ground hundreds of feet away!

Princess Blood Phoenix didn't even glance at the injured Lin Zhao.

She turned around, transformed into a streak of crimson light, and shot off into the distance!

In the flash of light, her eyes were as cold and venomous as a snake's.

She knew who it was.

Although both of them were disguised, there were very few Foundation Establishment cultivators with this level of strength in the entire Zixuan Dynasty.

There's also the Dharma Domain, the Three-Headed Spirit Dragon, and the Five-Colored Imperial Seal.

Lin Zhao is in charge of guarding Cangyun Mountain.

"Just you wait," she vowed in her heart, "when I get back, I'll make sure no one in Cangyun Mountain is left alive!"

The streak of light pierced the sky at an extremely high speed.

She didn't turn around.

So she didn't see it—

Lin Zhao slowly rose from the ruins, covered in dust and with blood at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were terrifyingly calm.

He looked at the streak of crimson light, then raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

She wasn't the only one who had a backup plan.

The moment the Five Emperors Seal clashed with the Blood Phoenix Arrow, as the shockwave exploded, spiritual light scattered, and everyone's attention was drawn to the earth-shattering collision—Lin Zhao had already laid the groundwork for his killing move.

Twenty-seven magic-breaking needles, almost completely transparent black needles, were silently shot out.

Breaking the Law Needle is a complementary spell to the fourth-tier cultivation technique, "The True Technique of Returning to the Void of the Five Elements".

Lin Zhao's breakthrough to the late Foundation Establishment stage didn't actually result in a significant increase in strength.

But one thing changed: the power of each of the Breaking Law Needles has been increased to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, the number of them increased dramatically from nine to twenty-seven.

Lin Zhao did not pursue.

Because he knew there was no need to chase after him.

Those twenty-seven magic-breaking needles were waiting for her at the edge of the magic domain.

---

Princess Blood Phoenix's escape light pierced the sky.

Her face was deathly pale, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were full of ruthlessness.

In that battle just now, she had used up all her trump cards, even the Purple Profound Cauldron Jade Talisman left to her by her grandfather—but it doesn't matter.

As long as she returns to the capital and sees her grandfather, she can make that little beast from Cangyun Mountain pay the price.

As she was thinking, she suddenly froze.

wrong.

There is something.

Before she could react, twenty-seven magic-breaking needles, comparable to a strike from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, pierced through her three layers of defense almost instantly.

On the first level, the small silver shield, already covered in cracks, was like paper in front of the Magic-Breaking Needle, instantly pierced with more than a dozen holes.

On the second level, the blood-red palace robe she wore shone brightly in an attempt to resist, but it was eroded by the power of the Void, leaving holes in it.

The third layer is a protective aura.

break!
