Martial Arts, the Fairy's Cultivation

High in the sky, a twenty-four-petaled blue lotus stands out in mid-air, with mysterious patterns flowing across its petals, ancient and enigmatic.

"Is that the supreme treasure that caused the celestial phenomenon? Truly, it is infinitely mysterious!"

Lin Fan, Wang Lei, and the others were high in the sky, gazing at the majestic blue lotus standing in the void, their eyes filled with undisguised astonishment.

The existence of that blue lotus seemed elusive, sometimes as small as a speck of dust, sometimes as vast as heaven and earth, its formless aura flowing endlessly.

Although they were all Nirvana Realm experts standing at the pinnacle of the Great Yan Dynasty, how could they have ever seen such a wondrous creation of heaven and earth as before?

Lin Fan tentatively extended his senses toward the location of the Azure Lotus, and glimpsed an unfathomable power. Faced with such magnificence, even a Nirvana Realm cultivator felt his own insignificance.

At this moment, the people of the Great Yan Dynasty had no doubt that if the one with such power was a strong person with independent consciousness, he could kill an ordinary Nirvana Realm cultivator with just a flick of his finger.

"That azure lotus is likely beyond the Nirvana Realm; such a treasure is probably beyond our reach..."

The Qin clan patriarch's expression was uncertain. When the difference in power was so great, it was hard to imagine what means could make them subdue the divine object before them. At this moment, looking at the towering blue lotus, the people from the Great Yan Dynasty felt a sense of helplessness.

Wang Lei, dressed in a golden robe, glanced at her for a moment, then took the initiative to leap out and slowly approach the direction where Qinglian was.

"Since you have no intention of getting your hands on this, I'll go first and see what mysteries it holds."

"Your Highness, this..." Lin Fan's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at the graceful figure standing in the air not far away. However, he was surprised to see the latter's calm expression, as if she had no intention of stopping Wang Lei.

Under the watchful eyes of the group, each with their own distinct expression, Wang Lei stepped into the area within a thousand feet of the Azure Lotus. In an instant, a strange change occurred.

Buzz!

Suddenly, rays of light appeared on the surface of the blue lotus, accompanied by a surge of energy. Four figures radiating powerful auras revealed their ancient outlines in everyone's sight.

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise—the illusory light and shadow conjured by the Azure Lotus are actually the legendary Four Symbols True Spirits!

Lin Fan's eyes suddenly narrowed. Each of the manifested true spirit projections was emanating the aura of the Nirvana Realm. Lin Fan vaguely felt a pressure, making it clear that those projections were not just for show.

"Oh? It can actually conjure up a guardian of the Nirvana Realm!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Lei's eyes, but he was immediately delighted instead of alarmed. It seemed that the Azure Lotus did not have any offensive power, which was why it had conjured the Four Symbols True Spirits to protect itself. As long as he could defeat those projections, he could get close to the Azure Lotus's true form.

Lin Fan and the others behind also realized this, and their eyes were filled with interest as they looked at the blue lotus, but perhaps they still had some reservations and did not make a move immediately.

Noticing the hesitation of the others, Wang Lei snorted coldly. Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid enough to rush forward alone. He immediately tried to retreat, but at that moment, Wang Lei's pupils contracted slightly as he saw the White Tiger among the Four Symbols True Spirits let out a majestic roar and approach him directly.

"Hmph! You think you can be afraid of me?"

Wang Lei felt himself being locked onto by a murderous aura, and his expression darkened slightly. But then he sneered, and an arrogant look appeared in his eyes.

It's just a projection with limited offensive capabilities. As a fellow Nirvana Realm cultivator, I'm not made of clay. I'll test its power!

Wang Lei's gaze sharpened, and golden light suddenly shone brightly around him as he pushed his Nirvana Golden Body to its limit. Instead of retreating, he advanced and clashed head-on with the oncoming giant white tiger shadow!

boom--

At the center of the collision, violent energy transformed into shockwaves that spread outwards. Above the sky, it was as if a blazing sun had risen, its intense heat enough to incinerate mountains and boil seas. The Nirvana Realm level experts carried the power of heaven and earth with every move they made, their power far exceeding ordinary people's imagination.

However, those watching the battle here are all beings of this level, so they are naturally not shocked. At this moment, they all stare intently at the center of the energy explosion, trying to discern the truth or falsehood of the true spirit projection.

Bang bang bang!

Under the blazing sun, a figure in a golden robe appeared in sight, his hair disheveled, his aura surging violently. His disheveled appearance clearly indicated that he had not gained the upper hand in the previous exchange.

In contrast, the white tiger phantom on the other side only swayed slightly before remaining as still as a mountain, and even the divine light surrounding its body did not diminish in the slightest.

"roar!"

The White Tiger Spirit gave Wang Lei no chance to breathe, its massive body lunging forward, its sharp, murderous aura instantly enveloping the space around Wang Lei, forcing him to defend himself with all his might.

Intense energy fluctuations erupted continuously in the sky. In an instant, the two forces clashed hundreds of times. Although Wang Lei was one of the few Nirvana Realm cultivators in the Great Yan Dynasty, he inevitably suffered a series of defeats when faced with the White Tiger Spirit's destructive power, which seemed capable of destroying everything.

The gap is obvious.

bang——

After another collision, Wang Lei's figure flew thousands of feet backward in the air before he could barely stand up, his golden body flickering between light and shadow.

"Gulp."

Suddenly, a surge of blood rushed to his throat, and Wang Lei's expression changed. His eyes twitched as he forcibly swallowed the blood back down. His gaze towards the white tiger phantom was filled with deep apprehension.

"This thing is really tough to deal with; looks like we'll have to fight tooth and nail..."

Unlike the demonic beasts in the secret realm that were indirectly transformed by the aura of the Azure Lotus, the guardian created by the Azure Lotus itself has no obvious flaws. It has no shortcomings in either its offensive or defensive capabilities, and it is completely without weaknesses. It is far superior to someone like Wang Lei, who is only at the Nirvana Realm with shallow foundations.

The brief exchange just now made Wang Lei realize that if he didn't use his trump card, he probably wouldn't have any chance at all.

Without hesitation, Wang Lei bit his tongue, and his hand, emerging from his golden robe, unleashed a profound hand seal. Instantly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged forth like a tidal wave, frantically converging towards Wang Lei, transforming into a dazzling crimson sun. An extremely violent aura permeated from it, causing ripples in the surrounding space.

"Raging Breath Decisive Strike!"

Wang Lei gave a low shout, and the energy ball in front of him instantly transformed into a crimson blade of light, carrying earth-shattering power as it slashed towards the top of the white tiger's giant shadow.

Enveloped in crimson light, the White Tiger's gaze remained as majestic as ever. At the last moment, a protective shield appeared around him, colliding violently with Wang Lei's all-out attack.
