Covering the Sky: Fairy, I really need to control you properly.

The golden warship crashed into the Dao diagram, but was actually supported by that thin Dao diagram.

The yin-yang symbol spun wildly, dissipating the immense power carried by the warship layer by layer. The warship trembled violently in the void, but could no longer advance an inch.

At the same time, Fairy Zixia moved, her figure flashing like a peregrine falcon, breaking free from the restraints of the chains of order.

At this moment, the origin of the innate Dao embryo was completely released, and endless Dao energy surged out from her body, reversing the Dao patterns and turning them into her own, thus reversing the Heavenly Gang.

The divine chains that had originally imprisoned her turned around at this moment and pressed down on Li Donglai, with one Great Dao symbol after another pouring down like a torrential rain.

"Excellent tactic!"

Li Donglai's expression changed slightly, but he remained calm.

With a thought, the golden warship shone brightly, breaking free from the Dao diagram's restraints, and stood in front of him, blocking the divine chains that were swirling back towards him.

At the same time, he retreated rapidly, stepping into the void, quickly widening the distance between them.

Skilled in tactics but not in close combat—this is a characteristic of the Dao Yi Holy Land's tradition.

Their methods rely more on incantations, talismans, and formations; once someone gets close, their combat power is greatly reduced.

Zixia Fairy is a naturally born Daoist, and is naturally attuned to the Great Dao. She is like a fish in water when she gets close to someone, so we must not let her get too close.

But how could Zixia give him a chance?

She took a step forward, and purple lotuses bloomed beneath her feet. She shot forward like an arrow, chasing after the enemy. Boundless Dao energy converged from all directions, and her speed reached its limit.

"Nine is the ultimate number; the universe evolves through nine cycles!"

Li Donglai gave a low shout, and in an instant, nine figures appeared in the arena.

Nine Li Donglais appeared simultaneously in the void, with identical auras, identical figures, and identical Daoist charms, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

The nine people retreated simultaneously, scattering in nine different directions, surrounding Zixia in the center.

Within the sea of ​​suffering, Xu Jinhuan had been observing Li Donglai's methods.

"Is this some kind of secret technique similar to the 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones' method?"

He frowned, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the nine figures, trying to find a flaw.

"Legend has it that the Dao Yi Holy Land established its teachings based on the incomplete book of numbers, from which they comprehended transformations, turning one into nine, and then returning the nine to one, a mystery beyond comprehension." On the high platform, Lin Su asked about the secret.

"Lu Wu, Mountain Lord!"

With a clear shout, Fairy Zixia raised her hand and activated the forbidden techniques within the Purple Mansion Heavenly Scripture.

That is a secret technique that very few people in the Purple Mansion Holy Land can master. It requires one's own Dao foundation to communicate with the great power of heaven and earth and to use the power of mountains and rivers for one's own benefit. Only those with exceptional talent can reach it.

At this moment, Zixia unleashed her power as naturally as water flowing into a channel, a perfect and seamless execution.

In the void, countless mountain and river spirits manifested, with mountains rising majestically and rivers surging forth.

Mountains and rivers appeared in the world, accompanied by divine beasts. With human faces and tiger bodies, it was the Mountain Lord Lu Wu, the spirit of the mountains and rivers. It roared and pounced on the nine figures, tearing with its sharp claws and sweeping with its tiger tail.

Eight figures were torn to pieces at the same time.

Fairy Zixia gave Li Donglai no chance to maneuver. Her innate Dao Embryo perception reached its peak at this moment. With a light wave of her hand, purple energy cascaded down, and she struck a certain direction in the void.

"Bang!"

A figure fell from the void; it was Li Donglai in his true form.

Zixia's palm struck his chest squarely, with overwhelming force and unstoppable momentum.

Li Donglai was sent flying backward and crashed onto the platform.

Surprisingly, no blood flowed out. As his body flew backward, it began to crack. Cracks spread from his chest, up his cheeks, and covered his entire body.

The cracks were like shattered porcelain, dense and shocking to the eye.

"this……"

"This person is very strange." An elder from Zizhu Peak frowned. "I had long heard that he practiced evil arts and did not follow the proper path. Seeing him today, I can confirm it."

Li Donglai got up, and the cracks on his body slowly healed. The gaps were still wriggling, but not a drop of blood was visible.

Everyone gasped in shock. What on earth was going on?

Zixia's palm strike landed squarely on her opponent, but her expression was far from calm.

Her gaze fell on Li Donglai's hand, where there was a strand of long, purple hair that shimmered with a faint glow—it was her hair.

Why would someone risk being struck by their own hand just to steal a single strand of hair?

"I've won this round after all!"

Li Donglai smiled strangely, retreated to the edge of the battle platform, and the golden warship was placed in front of him, its golden light surging, protecting him completely.

He sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, his purple hair twirled between his fingers, and took something out of his bosom.

A rag doll, the size of a palm, entirely black, stitched with blood-red runes, that can unsettle anyone at a glance.

He wrapped Zixia Fairy's long hair around the doll, closed his eyes, opened and closed his lips, and muttered incantations that sounded like ghosts wailing and wolves howling, like a cold wind howling, extremely sinister.

"Heaven and earth are the contract, and the spirit is the guide." Li Donglai spoke in a low voice: "The Supreme Decree curses all things. With their hair, bind their souls. With their forms, determine their fate..."

Around the battle platform, many disciples instinctively covered their ears, but the sound seemed to penetrate their very souls and lingered there.

Li Donglai suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of bloodshot light in them.

"curse!"

He pulled a silver needle from the doll, held it up to his eyes, and plunged it into the doll's heart!

"puff!"

Zixia Fairy's heart clenched as an extremely cold power surged from the void, piercing straight into the Sea of ​​Bitterness, as if she were being pierced by an invisible needle.

"Is this the Dao Destruction Method? When did the Dao Yi Holy Land become so insidious?" A disciple of the Dayan Holy Land frowned.

The Dao Damage Curse is a rare and insidious curse. It typically uses blood essence as a medium to directly transmit the damage to the recipient's body, making it extremely difficult to defend against.

That evil force raged through her sea of ​​suffering, rampaging and attempting to tear apart her foundation.

Even the origin of the innate Dao embryo cannot be completely shielded; it is too insidious and does not confront the Great Dao head-on, but only infiltrates and erodes from the darkest corners.

"With such evil magic, how dare you claim to be able to kill with curses?"

Zixia silently recited the "Dongjun Emperor's Record" mental guide, using the gods as a covenant to communicate with the most primordial thunder power between heaven and earth.

"The Record of the Eastern Emperor, Utterly Unyielding!"

"Thunder is the command of Heaven, wielded by the Lord of the East to rectify the universe and vanquish evil. I inherit his law and carry out punishments on behalf of Heaven..."

She suddenly opened her eyes, and purple lightning flashed across them.

"Wherever the purple aura reaches, it becomes the Thunder Court!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire world seemed to respond to her.

In an instant, the sky above the entire Purple Lake cracked open.

Even though no one was undergoing tribulation, dark clouds rolled, lightning bolts danced wildly, and the majestic power of heaven descended from the ninth heaven, causing the entire battle platform to tremble.

Zixia Fairy was enveloped in lightning, which burst forth from her flesh and blood, making her hair translucent and crystal clear, as if it were carved from purple jade.

"boom!"

A pillar of lightning shot up from her body, piercing through the clouds and soaring into the heavens. The evil power that had invaded the sea of ​​suffering vanished instantly before the mighty power of heaven!

Li Donglai's expression changed drastically. He said, "Am I still one step behind? I'm not willing to accept this..."
