Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

Qin Tianjun's body surged with spiritual light, and five-colored spiritual light soared into the sky, its brilliance flowing, as if a five-colored sun was rising in the domain.

The Five Elements Divine Ring.

The divine ring swept across with a roar, crashing into the five-colored magic domain.

Lin Zhao's domain shook violently, and the five-colored light of the domain was briefly scattered for a moment.

But that was all; the realm returned to peace.

Like a stone thrown into a lake, the ripples subside and the water returns to its original state.

Domain of Law, Supernatural Powers, and Magic Treasures—the three essential attributes of a Core Formation True Person, complementing each other.

Qin Tianjun used all his abilities—the Sword Dao Domain, the Five Elements Divine Ring, and the White Jade Sword—to barely hold back Lin Zhao's domain.

Lin Zhao, on the other hand, did not use any magic weapons or supernatural powers, but only the Law Domain itself.

Lin Zhao's domain of law has become like a small world.

Some minor disturbances cannot shake it at all.

Qin Tianjun suddenly shouted, "Lin Zhao, give it your all! Even if we lose, I want to lose completely!"

Lin Zhao raised an eyebrow.

"My full strength? Qin Tianjun, let's see if you have the ability."

A sudden burst of precious light shone from the crimson robe.

A curtain of crimson-gold fire exploded from the surface of his robes, enveloping his entire body.

The flames surged, with golden-red edges and an almost incandescent white core.

The fire curtain, guided by the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel, transformed into a cloud of fiery mist, drawing upon countless spiritual energies.

The fiery mist surged and billowed into Qin Tianjun's sword domain.

Countless sword energies in the sword realm were broken one by one by the fire mist attack, and then annihilated by the fire mist.

Qin Tianjun's Five Elements Divine Rings lit up again, and five-colored radiance suddenly burst forth, transforming once more into a five-colored blazing sun rising within the domain.

The five elements on the divine ring rotated, trapping the fire dragon within. He wanted to use the five elements divine ring's invulnerability to forcefully disintegrate this fire mist.

But Lin Zhao's control over spiritual power was too strong.

The Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel slowly rotated behind him, and five halos of light lit up simultaneously at the edge of the Dharma Wheel. The fire mist instantly gathered and condensed, transforming from a patch of mist into an illusory fire dragon.

The fire dragon roared and pounced on the Five Elements Divine Ring.

The first impact caused the divine ring to vibrate. The second impact blasted it open, causing cracks.

The third time, the fire dragon crashed into the center of the divine ring and exploded with a deafening roar.

The Five Elements Divine Rings were blasted into countless fragments of five-colored spiritual light. The aftershocks, carrying flames, poured back into the sword domain, causing it to tremble violently before beginning to crumble, with golden sword energy flying out of control in all directions.

Qin Tianjun was thrown off by the shockwave, falling dozens of feet from the sky above the Cloud Realm before regaining his footing, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The giant white jade sword transformed into a white jade barrier in front of him, blocking the aftershocks of the explosion, but the magical artifact's radiance dimmed slightly.

Qin Tianjun raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up at Lin Zhao above him.

The figure hovered high above, the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel behind him slowly rotating, and five-colored spiritual light flowing around him.

A casual defensive technique became an attack he couldn't withstand.

His sword domain, the Five Elements Divine Ring, and the White Jade Sword magic weapon combined were no match for Lin Zhao's casually unleashed curtain of fire.

Qin Tianjun took a deep breath. Sword cultivators grow stronger when facing stronger opponents.

The magical power within him began to burn recklessly, and the talent of the Nine Swords Spirit Body was fully unleashed at this moment.

His body radiated spiritual light once again, and the innate divine power of the Nine Swords Spirit Body was fully activated at this moment.

He forcibly extracted all the remaining spiritual energy within the Cloud Realm, condensing it above his head into nine giant swords, each a hundred feet long. The swords were solid, with golden spiritual light slowly flowing across their blades.

Nine giant swords hung in mid-air, their tips pointing downwards, slowly rotating and forming a complete circular sword formation, like nine golden pillars suspended upside down in the clouds.

He clasped his hands together. The nine swords returned to one.

A hundred-foot-long golden celestial sword took shape in the center of the sword formation. The spiritual light no longer flowed on the sword's body; all the light had been contained within. The surface of the sword was dark gold, radiating a chilling aura.

This was the Heavenly Sword Divine Power that he hadn't truly used back then.

The Heavenly Sword hovered in mid-air, slowly rotating. With each rotation, the surrounding air emitted a very low sword-like sound.

Lin Zhao watched quietly.

Qin Tianjun is indeed very strong; he was able to unleash such a sword strike at the early stage of Core Formation.

This sword strike was enough to fight, or even defeat, a peak mid-stage Core Formation cultivator. But for him now, it wasn't enough.

Lin Zhao raised his hand. Five-colored spiritual energy was extracted from the Dharma Domain and gathered in his palm from all directions.

The light gathers in the palm of the hand, neither scattered nor disordered, neither biased nor partial.

An ancient mudra took shape in the palm. Five-colored light flowed across the mudra, and with each flow, it seemed as if a small world was being born and dying in a cycle.

The Seals of the Five Emperors.

He flipped his hand and pressed down.

The Five Emperors' Seals flew out of his hand

The moment the seal left the palm, five-colored spiritual light within a radius of dozens of miles seemed to be drawn by an invisible hand, surging from all directions towards the Five Emperors Seal and attaching itself to the seal.

It formed a five-colored spiritual energy phantom the size of a small mountain, causing the clouds and mist of the Cloud Realm to surge to both sides.

Qin Tianjun simultaneously activated the Heavenly Sword.

The Heavenly Sword transformed into a blazing golden meteor, trailing a hundred-foot-long tail of flame, and crashed fiercely into the Five Emperors Seal.

The Hundred-Foot Heavenly Sword let out a sword cry that tore through the air, transforming into a blazing golden meteor with a hundred-foot-long tail of flame, and crashed fiercely into the Five Emperors Seal.

Rising against the current.

The Five Emperors' Seal and the Hundred-Foot Heavenly Sword collided in the center of the Cloud Realm.

boom--!

a bang

Five-colored light and golden sword energy exploded simultaneously, the light and sword energy intertwined, and the shockwave swept outwards in a spherical shape.

Wherever it swept, the clouds and mist of the Cloud Realm were instantly vaporized. The shockwave struck the barrier at the edge of the Cloud Realm, causing huge ripples to spread across it.

The Five Emperors Seal forcibly shattered the Heavenly Sword, and then the Five Emperors Seal passed right through the center of the Heavenly Sword.

The Heavenly Sword began to shatter, cracks spreading upwards, the dark gold blade cracking upwards like lightning.

The hundred-foot-long sword was pierced through from the inside by five-colored light, and then—it shattered with a crash.

The shattered sword energy flew out of control, scattering in all directions, and as it fell, it broke into even smaller pieces.

Finally, it transformed into countless golden specks of light, like a golden rain falling from the heights of the clouds.

The Five Emperors Seal pierced through the Heavenly Sword, its momentum undiminished, and crushed towards Qin Tianjun.

Qin Tianjun's pupils contracted sharply. He activated the massive white jade sword, raising it in front of him to block the attack.

The Five Emperors Seal slammed into the white jade giant sword, then exploded with a bang, transforming into a five-colored radiance that shot into the sky, with shockwaves spreading in all directions.

The white jade giant sword was blasted backward, tumbling through the air more than a dozen times, its spiritual light flashing on and off.

The internal structure of the white jade giant sword, which had been unified into nine swords, finally failed to hold, and the white jade giant sword disintegrated with a deafening roar.

It dispersed back into nine white jade swords.

The brilliance of each sword had dimmed considerably.

The white jade sword is Qin Tianjun's natal magic weapon, and they are connected in spirit and mind.

This explosion caused a violent tremor in Qin Tianjun's mind.

He groaned, his face turned deathly pale, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He retreated several steps, each step leaving a trail of ripples spreading through the clouds.
