Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

The Five Sacred Mountains transformed into the Five Prisons. Five enormous phantom images of the Prisons appeared in the Dharma Domain, each emanating an ultimate power of the Five Elements.

Each of the five elements is further divided into yin and yang, hard and soft, which transforms into ten characteristics.

Vajra Prison – Countless swords and blades materialize from the sky. Characteristics: lethality, resilience.

Green Wood Prison—The Soul-Devouring Vine grows wildly from the void. Characteristics: growth, erosion.

Mysterious Water Prison – A deep abyss formed by the convergence of the cold springs of the Nine Netherworlds. Characteristics: moistening, devouring.

The Blazing Sun Prison—an inextinguishable fire burns in the air. Characteristics: incineration, purification.

Houtu Prison—a forbidden zone in the air created by the twisting of quicksand and gravity. Characteristics: suppression, imprisonment.

Five prisons and ten powers circulate within the realm of law.

【Five Prisons Suppressing the World - Heavenly Dragon】

As the celestial dragon roamed, wherever it passed, the prison officials followed.

The Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel hangs high behind Lin Zhao, echoing the Heavenly Dragon—with each turn of the Dharma Wheel, the five elements change according to one's will.

The sea of ​​fire instantly transformed into a metallic forest, and the quicksand turned into a rocky hell. The Hundred-Mile Law Domain was Lin Zhao's absolute home ground.

------

Qin Tianjun looked at the hundred-zhang-long heavenly dragon and the five ever-turning prisons, and squeezed out four words through gritted teeth.

"Dharma-image space".

His voice was deep, as if confirming something, or perhaps sighing.

This is no longer within the legal domain.

The Core Formation stage is about controlling a domain, while the Nascent Soul stage is about changing a domain.

Aside from having a smaller coverage area, Lin Zhao's characteristics are not significantly different from those of the Dharma Realm.

Within the realm of law, the five elements flow and their attributes change, and all things in heaven and earth change according to his will.

Moreover, Lin Zhao's Five Prisons Suppressing Heavenly Dragon forms five prisons with ten different characteristics of the Dharma Domain.

Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators are lucky to evolve into three or four types; ten is simply impossible for them.

If Lin Zhao continues down this path, after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, he will likely have few rivals among his peers.

The Hundred Mile Cloud Realm has now completely become Lin Zhao's domain.

Qin Tianjun could only barely rely on the three sword gates to resist the power of the Five Prisons.

Even so, his actions were affected by the five cycles of the prison.

The most basic point is that he can no longer absorb external spiritual energy to complete this forbidden technique.

His forbidden technique required external force, but Lin Zhao's domain transformed into the Five Prisons, locking away all external spiritual energy.

The three sword gates flickered uncertainly within the Five Prisons, like three lamps in a storm, about to be extinguished.

Lin Zhao naturally saw it too.

This was the first time he had truly used the Five Prisons Suppressing Heavenly Dragon, so he went all out.

Seeing that Qin Tianjun was so overwhelmed that he could hardly lift his head, he had a thought and withdrew the blessing power of the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel.

The domain of the law was reduced from a hundred miles to fifty miles, and the terrifying aura of the Five Prisons Suppressing Heavenly Dragon also subsided somewhat.

Qin Tianjun finally caught his breath, but a helpless expression appeared on his face. In this situation, what was the point of fighting? He was completely outmatched, and he felt somewhat discouraged.

Lin Zhao didn't care about any of that. He saw that Qin Tianjun's forbidden technique was only one step away from being completed with spiritual energy.

He simply used the power of the Five Prisons Suppressing Heavenly Dragon to help him.

He infused the five-colored spiritual energy into Qin Tianjun's three sword gates.

The once dim patterns on the sword gate lit up again, and the golden sword patterns, blood-red patterns, and purple Daoist charm on the gate reappeared one by one.

Qin Tianjun was speechless as he felt the five-colored spiritual energy surging into the Sword Gate.

But since we're already here, we might as well use it.

The three sword gates fully unfolded, forming three sword rivers.

The Golden Gate Sword River surged forth first, countless golden sword energies converging into a torrent that slashed into the Five Prisons Domain.

Blood Gate Sword River followed closely behind, its baleful aura and killing intent solidifying and surging within the torrent of sword energy.

The Purple Gate Sword River finally descended—purple sword energy, imbued with the unique Daoist charm of the Purple Sun Domain, with a faint purple halo attached to each sword light, which lingered.

Three long rivers of sword energy raged through the Five Prisons.

The golden sword is sharp, the blood sword is violent, and the purple sword is resilient.

However, under the cycle of the five prisons, the golden sword river was attacked from both sides by the Vajra Prison and the Blazing Sun Prison. The sword energy was burned and then reassembled, only to be shredded again.

The blood-red sword river was swallowed by the Xuan Shui Prison, and its malevolent energy was completely purified.

The three sword rivers eventually merged, transforming into a single three-colored sword river. The three colors intertwined, and its power surged, rushing straight towards Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao raised his hand. The five prisons rotated simultaneously. The Vajra Prison was in front, with the Sword Forest blocking the first wave of impact, and the Azure Wood Prison was behind, entangling the middle of the Sword River.

The Houtu Prison completely enveloped him, and the endless gravity weighed on him, slowing down Jianhe's attack speed by 50%.

The Blazing Sun Prison and the Mysterious Water Prison are located on the left and right, respectively, with water and fire clashing against each other.

The Three-Colored Sword River charged and struggled through the Five Hells, but was eventually trapped and killed in the center of the Five Hells, gradually worn down and disintegrated.

The golden sword river collapsed first, followed by the blood river, but the purple river held on until the very end.

Lin Zhao sensed the power of these sword rivers. Each individual released river of sword energy possessed power roughly equivalent to the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation realm.

The combined attack of the three-colored sword river reached the late stage of Core Formation.

Each sword river has a unique characteristic—gold relies on its sharpness to break through defenses, crimson relies on devouring and consuming, and purple is the most resilient and difficult to deal with.

Because it incorporated the Daoist essence of the Purple Sun Domain, that purple sword river was extremely tenacious and resilient. While the other two sword rivers had been annihilated, it continued to persist.

Under the relentless onslaught of the Five Hells, the purple sword river managed to hold out for an extra incense stick's time before finally dissipating completely in the purifying flames of the Blazing Sun Hell.

Lin Zhao watched as the last wisp of purple river turned into nothingness in the flames, and a trace of regret filled his heart.

Ultimately, they were unable to decipher the secret of this rhyme.

He withdrew his gaze and looked across at the other side.

Logically, Qin Tianjun should be seriously injured by now, having forcibly used a forbidden technique.

But Lin Zhao just helped him out, shielding him from the most dangerous moment.

So he is only severely weakened now, and he will recover in a year or two.

But Qin Tianjun clearly wouldn't appreciate this favor.

He looked at Lin Zhao with a complicated expression.

"Lin Zhao." His voice was a little hoarse, and he paused for a moment. "Has anyone ever told you—that you're a monster?"

Judging from his tone, he wasn't cursing.

Qin Tianjun sighed again.

Then he said, "I have completely lost, and I will never challenge you to a match again."

When Qin Tianjun finished speaking, his shoulders relaxed slightly, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Then he waved to Lin Zhao, the sect token lit up, and the cloud realm began to dissipate from the edge, turning into wisps of white mist that drifted in the air, like waking up from a great dream.

He transformed into a golden streak of light and flew away into the distance, his back still bearing the same straight posture as a sword cultivator.

Lin Zhao retrieved the Five Prisons Suppressing Heavenly Dragon. The dragon's body transformed into five-colored spiritual light, slowly absorbing into his body. The Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel dissipated, and his Dharma robes reverted to ordinary robes.

He watched the departing golden light with a complex expression in his eyes.

"Monster." He repeated it again in a low voice.

The name "Monster" was once used to describe you, Qin Tianjun.

Lin Zhao let out a breath.

His career as a disciple has come to a complete end.

The future belongs to the Immortal Zhaoyang, the Heavenly Lord Zhaoyang, and even the Celestial Venerable Zhaoyang.
