Nuwa, the goddess of immortality, said that cultivating immortality does not require spiritual energ

After deciding on their destination, everyone activated their respective flying artifacts and headed towards the area where the Snow Leopard Domain Lord was located.

Chen Yun also took out his masterpiece—a cool-looking, sharply styled fighter jet-shaped flying artifact.

Some people cast envious glances, while others shook their heads helplessly—Chen Yun's obsession with mechanical creations had already spread throughout the academy.

"Qin Le, let's go, get on the plane!" Chen Yun opened the hatch and greeted him with a smile.

Qin Le naturally wouldn't refuse, and in a flash, he sat in the passenger seat.

The fighter jet, under Chen Yun's control, emitted a deep engine roar, and then—

boom--!!

With a deafening sonic boom, the fighter jet pierced the night sky like a streak of light, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye, leaving only an orange and blue trail in the dark sky.

This fighter jet was indeed a flying artifact designed and crafted by Chen Yun based on the fighter jets of the mortal era, but he deliberately retained some classic elements—such as the roar of the engine and the gushing tail flames.

Of course, the speed is no longer comparable to what it used to be—the limit of speed in the mortal era is too slow for Chen Yun, who is in the mid-stage of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness.

After the fighter jets departed, the others also activated their magical artifacts, transforming into streaks of light that followed closely behind.

Luo Qiuyue watched Qin Le leave with Chen Yun, a faint sense of regret crossing her heart—the time she spent alone with Qin Le was far too short. But she quickly composed herself, activated her flying artifact, and joined the group heading towards the snow mountain.

Right now, there are more important things to do. Personal feelings need to be put aside for now.

The continuous snow-capped mountains soon came into view. The central main peak stood majestically, towering over ten thousand feet high, its snow-capped summit gleaming with a cool, silvery light under the moonlight.

This is the territory of the Snow Leopard Domain Lord.

Luo Qiuyue looked at Qin Le and said calmly, "Proceed according to plan."

"it is good."

Qin Le nodded and took a step forward—his figure was already two or three hundred meters away.

The plan was actually simple and direct: leveraging the advantages of the Space Immortal Path, Qin Le would be responsible for luring the Domain Lord out of his lair, buying time for the others to set up their formations and prepare for the battlefield. Once the signal was given, they would then be led to the pre-arranged decisive battleground.

After Qin Le left, the rest of the group quickly began to act according to the plan—clearing the site, setting up the array base, confirming the positions, checking the magical artifacts... everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

At the summit of the snow-capped peak.

Qin Le finally met the legendary "Snow Leopard Domain Lord".

Seeing it in person was completely different from what I had seen in videos and photos. It resembled a leopard, with a pure white body, but it was nearly ten meters long, with a pair of jet-black bony wings on its back and two gleaming white fangs protruding from its mouth.

What is most striking is the dark gray, chaotic aura surrounding it—that is what makes it truly terrifying.

The domain lord sensed Qin Le's presence, suddenly opened his huge mouth, and let out a deafening roar!

The sound waves exploded as if they were real; if an ordinary cultivator at the Refinement of Spirit or Return to Emptiness stage were here, they would probably have been blasted into a bloody mist. But Qin Le merely fluttered his robes slightly, his body remaining completely still.

He raised his hand and pressed down—the power of spacetime flowed silently, and the chaotic aura around the Domain Lord was wiped away as if by an invisible hand, and his defenses collapsed instantly.

"Defense breach complete."

Qin Le muttered to himself, but saw that the domain lord was not afraid at all. Instead, he used his hind legs to exert force and turned into a white shadow to rush straight at him!

The claws tore through the air, yet pierced through Qin Le's body—under the spatial immortal path, all physical attacks were like phantoms.

"This intelligence... is really not as good as that of an ordinary wild beast." Qin Le shook his head slightly.

Even with the combat power of an Earth Immortal, this Chaos Beast seemed to remain at the level of pure killing instinct, without even showing basic fear or hesitation.

Seeing that the domain lord was still launching attacks in vain, Qin Le simply sat down cross-legged and waited for a signal from the other side.

The current situation is rather comical—the Domain Lord can't touch Qin Le, and Qin Le can't harm the Domain Lord. Neither side can do anything to the other, so they can only wait it out.

More than half an hour later, in the distant night sky, a giant bird formed of flames soared into the sky, exploded with a bang, and turned into a sky full of fire.

The signal has arrived.

Qin Le stood up, took a step, and was already a hundred meters away. The domain lord roared and chased after him without hesitation.

With a slight thought, Qin Le's power of time quietly enveloped the Domain Lord—a 15x speed reduction.

The white-shadow-like speed visibly slowed down.

Pre-set battlefield.

Lu Qingshuang stood alone at the front of the battle, holding a long sword, her body surrounded by a hazy moonlight. Seeing Qin Le leading the domain lord into the battlefield, her eyes narrowed, and the moonlight instantly transformed into a silver-white battle dress, covering her body.

Qin Le raised his hand, and the power of time surged once more—fifteen times faster, applied to Lu Qingshuang.

A silver-white figure shot out like lightning, his long sword slashing down from the sky, precisely blocking the Domain Lord's claws that were aimed at Qin Le!

"clang--!"

Amidst the clang of metal on metal, a section of the Domain Lord's claw was severed by the sword! There was no blood at the wound, only a gray-black chaotic aura continuously dissipating.

The domain lord, in pain, let out an angry roar and instantly turned its attack on Lu Qingshuang—even with its low intelligence, it could still distinguish threats that could harm itself.

The giant claw slammed down again, and the claw tip that had been severed earlier had regenerated completely in just a few breaths.

One of the characteristics of Chaos Beasts is self-healing.

Unless they are instantly annihilated by absolute power, they can only be worn down indefinitely until their self-healing power is exhausted. This is precisely why they must practice rotating formations.

Qin Le retreated to Chen Yun's side, watching the battle in the distance so fast that only afterimages remained, and couldn't help but whisper:

"I can't see anything at all..."

Even with the support of the Space-Time Dao, his dynamic vision still couldn't keep up with this level of speed.

"Don't even mention you, I can't see clearly either," Chen Yun said with a wry smile.

With the enhancement of the formation and a fifteen-fold speed boost, Lu Qingshuang's speed reached a level beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. In the center of the battlefield, only blurry light and shadow intertwined, along with the continuous clanging of metal against metal.

Just then, Lu Qingshuang's voice suddenly came, clear and cold with a hint of urgency:

"Qin Le, remove the time acceleration from me!"

Although Qin Le did not understand why, he immediately did as instructed.

The moment the acceleration effect disappeared, Lu Qingshuang's speed noticeably slowed down, but she was still able to hold her own against the Domain Lord. Her sword light flowed like moonlight, and she defended herself flawlessly.

"What happened?" Qin Le asked.

Luo Qiuyue, who was responsible for maintaining the operation of the formation, explained: "While the time acceleration increases the speed, it also accelerates the consumption of spiritual energy. If the accelerated state is maintained indefinitely, her spiritual energy will not last until the rotation time."

Qin Le suddenly realized—this was indeed a detail he hadn't considered.

"Everyone, I'm so sorry," Luo Qiuyue's voice rang out across the battlefield. "It was my oversight that I failed to explain this beforehand."

No one complained – because even without time acceleration, Lu Qingshuang could still confront the Domain Lord head-on, and her sword light could still leave wounds on his body.

They went from complete domination to having a slight advantage.

Half an hour later, Luo Qiuyue's voice rang out again, clear and calm:

"Second team, prepare. Chen Yun, prepare to replace Lu Qingshuang."

Chen Yun's eyes sharpened, and he strode towards the designated handover position. The students from Sanqing Academy also moved quickly, beginning a silent preparation for the shift change with the team from Tianting Academy.

Luo Qiuyue's voice rang out like a countdown:

"Three, two, one—"

"exchange!"

The moment the words fell, Chen Yun and Lu Qingshuang passed each other, and the team members from Tianting Academy and Sanqing Academy also completed their position rotation at the same moment.

In the center of the battlefield, the silvery moonlight faded, and the crimson-gold battle intent rose.

A new offensive and defensive battle has begun.
