A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

The two engaged in another fierce battle high in the sky, their figures transforming into two intertwined streaks of light. The demonic aura of millennia soared to the heavens, their battle intent raging. The Demon Emperor unleashed his Nine Slashes, one after another, sometimes obliterating form, sometimes wounding spirit, sometimes stripping away, sometimes transforming... his attacks flowed like mercury, ferocious and violent. The powerful figure from the Ji family, on the other hand, pushed the mysteries of the Void Scripture to their limits. His Great Void Technique was unpredictable, constantly flashing and shifting through space, avoiding direct confrontation and striking at the weak points. Various secret techniques, such as the Void Handprint, Void Imprisonment, Void Great Slash, and Void Storm, appeared one after another. He wielded the power of the void with unparalleled skill, often resolving crises from the most perilous situations.

For a time, the two fought fiercely, their azure light and the power of the void intertwining and colliding, creating endless booming sounds, as if the sky itself was about to be shattered.

But it was clear to anyone with eyes that Wan Nian had completely taken the initiative, and his offensive seemed to be getting more and more intense, forcing the powerful members of the Ji family to use their exquisite movement techniques and defensive secrets to fight back. They had already fallen into a disadvantageous position, and if they held on for too long, they would surely lose.

"Hahaha! Old man, is this all you've got – the ability to cower and dodge?"

"You dare to act wildly in my Azure Lotus lineage? Who gave you the courage? The coffin lid of the Void Emperor?" Wan Nian fought with increasing ferocity, enjoying the battle to the fullest, and couldn't help but taunt.

The powerful figure from the Ji family had a face so dark it was almost dripping with water, his chest heaving with turmoil. He truly felt immense pressure. This demon king who had suddenly appeared possessed a formidable physical body and boundless demonic power, especially with his profound understanding of the "Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor." Each move was mysterious and unpredictable, with unparalleled power. If it weren't for his mastery of the Void Scripture and his deep comprehension of the laws of space, he would have been defeated long ago.

Out of the corner of his eye, he involuntarily glanced at another, even more terrifying battlefield, his anxiety growing even stronger.

He was more worried about Ji Haoyue than him.

.......

Meanwhile, the battle between Yan Ruyu and Ji Haoyue has also reached a fever pitch.

When the familiar yet infinitely more powerful aura of the Azure Lotus and the surging demonic energy of Wan Nian soared into the sky, Yan Ruyu's cold eyes flickered slightly.

"Our ancestors have been resurrected! That means... our little ancestor has also returned?"

Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes darted around, her bright, clear eyes piercing through the chaotic energy currents, trying to find Lin Xiu's figure on the edge of the battlefield or in the void.

However, just as her mind was slightly distracted by searching for Lin Xiu, a sharp glint flashed in Ji Haoyue's eyes across from her.

"Fairy Yan, how dare you be distracted while fighting me?"

This is a grave taboo!

Ji Haoyue's voice was cold, and the Void Mirror above her head suddenly shone brightly.

A massive, extremely condensed beam of light burst forth from the mirror! The beam of light, imbued with terrifying void-destroying power, tore through the sky and hurtled straight at Yan Ruyu's face with terrifying speed!

Yan Ruyu instantly withdrew her gaze and looked at Ji Haoyue, who was launching a frenzied attack. A hint of impatience appeared on her flawless and beautiful face.

Anyone who dares to disturb her search for Xiao Zu is truly courting death!

Chapter 151 Good! He seizes the Imperial Weapon, so will I! (Third Update)

"The Ji family's divine body certainly knows how to seize opportunities."

"However... this interference in my search will only fuel my desire to suppress you even more!"

Yan Ruyu parted her red lips slightly, her voice clear and melodious as ever, but it was mixed with a chill that went straight to the bone.

The next second, Yan Ruyu gently raised her jade hand, and a slender finger as green as a spring onion stretched out. At the tip of her finger, a drop of essence blood, which seemed to have chaotic rosy light flowing inside and life essence surging like the sea, was slowly forced out by her!

As the last few words fell, the drop of essence blood from Yan Ruyu's fingertip had already dripped onto the heart of the Chaos Green Lotus!

"Buzz!!!~"

The Imperial Weapon, the Chaotic Azure Lotus, trembled violently!

The lotus petals unfurled rapidly, radiating an unprecedentedly brilliant azure light! A vast imperial might, several times larger than in the previous battle, instantly spread out, causing the land within a hundred miles to sink!

After Lin Xiu used the "Chaotic Green Lotus Root Daoist Rhyme" to build her foundation, Yan Ruyu's bloodline showed signs of reversion to its ancestral form, and this sign became more and more obvious as her strength increased!

Sensing the rich aura of the Azure Emperor, the Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon was awakened by Yan Ruyu's essence blood and entered a semi-revival state. With just a gentle shake, it scattered a sky full of azure glow!

The beam of light released by the Void Mirror was blocked by this seemingly gentle blue glow and quickly dissolved into the world!

"Descendants of the Azure Emperor shall not be insulted."

Yan Ruyu stood beneath the magnificent illusory image of a blue lotus, her robes fluttering and her black hair dancing in the air.

At this moment, she was like the Azure Emperor's daughter descending to earth, majestic and inviolable.

.......

The next second, Yan Ruyu pointed her slender finger, and the illusory image of the sky-supporting blue lotus behind her moved according to her will, and slowly suppressed Ji Haoyue.

As the lotus shadows swayed, endless azure clouds rolled in like a reversed Milky Way. Each ray of light was as heavy as an ancient divine mountain, containing the terrifying imperial might that suppressed all heavens, completely enveloping Ji Haoyue and his Void Mirror!

Ji Haoyue's expression was more solemn than ever before, because Yan Ruyu's bloodline was far too strong! It was hardly the thin bloodline that had been passed down for so many generations!

"Your bloodline... how is that possible?!"

Ji Haoyue had fought Yan Ruyu before, and although he sensed that the other party possessed extraordinary bloodline and was a legitimate imperial descendant, he had never witnessed anything as astonishing as this. The Azure Emperor's primordial power contained within this essence blood was pure and boundless, already approaching the level of a fourth or fifth generation imperial prince or princess!

Ji Haoyue suppressed the turmoil in his heart, frantically channeling his divine power. The Void Mirror above his head shone brightly, its surface spinning rapidly, reflecting layers upon layers of illusory small worlds, including mountains and rivers, sun, moon and stars, and sacrifices to all living beings... He used the mirror light to create one illusory world after another, attempting to resist the suppression of the Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

The collision of the two imperial weapon phantoms was even more terrifying than the battle between the great powers on the other side. Every collision caused the sky to lose its color and the earth to crack. Even a wisp of energy that dissipated could turn mountains into dust. This was a genuine clash of imperial might!

Ji Haoyue grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. Besides Yan Ruyu's own strength, what frightened him even more was Yan Ruyu's earlier statement, "I'm disturbing your search for someone."

Who is she looking for?

This suddenly appearing and powerful demon king, Wan Nian, is clearly closely related to her and the Qinglian lineage. Judging from his title, he seems to have come on the orders of a certain "Little Ancestor".

Little Ancestor?

Does the Azure Emperor still have direct descendants? And how could he command such respect and obedience from a powerful demon king?

Could it be that the Azure Lotus lineage has an even greater trump card hidden besides this demon king?

Is that "Little Ancestor" secretly watching all of this right now?

The chaotic thoughts and the increasingly difficult battle situation caused Ji Haoyue to feel a sense of regret and intense unease for the first time.

Damn it! He shouldn't have released the news of his challenge beforehand!

Releasing the news in advance is like inviting trouble – isn't that just waiting for someone to dig a pit for you to fall into?!

.......

On the other side, Lin Xiu was observing the battle between the old demon king Wan Nian and the powerful figure from the Ji family.

"Hmm, being able to suppress a powerful member of the imperial clan at the same level as myself is not bad, is it?"

"However, even with Yan Ruyu and Wannian, the foundation of the Qinglian lineage is still too weak, and the other demons are about to collapse."

"I'd better get this over with quickly and move on to the next step of debt collection as soon as possible!"

Lin Xiu reached out towards the sky, his five fingers spread wide, and a dazzling golden light burst forth from his body!

[Armor Combination!]

The next second, a magnificent and imposing set of golden armor instantly covered Lin Xiu's entire body!

The armor has smooth lines, rugged shoulder armor, and mysterious Dao patterns engraved on the breastplate; it is indeed the Emperor's Armor!

The moment the armor was donned, a vast and overwhelming pressure swept across the surroundings! It was the aura of a powerful being at the Sendai level, yet it was purer and more domineering than that of an ordinary being, carrying the supreme Daoist charm that transcended the Five Elements and ruled over light!

On the battlefield, everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

The powerful figures from the Ji family and Wan Nian both stopped fighting at the same time, looking in horror at the source of the golden light.

Yan Ruyu and Ji Haoyue also paused their fighting and turned their gazes toward them.

The Ji family knights and Qinglian demons who were fighting were also stunned by this pressure, and their movements slowed down by half a beat.

"Who...who is this?"

"Another powerful figure?!"

"What a terrifying aura... What kind of physique is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, their eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

That golden armor was too striking, too imposing, like a celestial being descending to earth. But when did such a powerful figure emerge from the Big Dipper? Why had I never heard of him before?

The powerful figure from the Ji family looked extremely grim.

He was already struggling to deal with a ten-thousand-year-old demon king, and now another powerful being with golden light had appeared? Moreover, judging from that aura, it was definitely not comparable to an ordinary powerful being!

The most crucial question is whether this person is a friend or foe?

.......

Lin Xiu ignored the astonishment and doubt of the crowd.

He raised his hands and formed a mysterious hand seal in front of his chest.

"Meditation Mudra!"

Lin Xiu formed a hand seal, and an invisible wave spread out from him, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield!

Time... stood still.

Apart from Wan Nian, a powerful figure of the Ji family, and Yan Ruyu and Ji Haoyue, who are protected by imperial weapons, everyone else...

Whether it was the knights of the Ji family, the demon cultivators, or the bystanders watching from afar... they were all frozen in place! Unable to move! Even the leaves falling from the sky and the dust flying in the air were frozen in mid-air!

The most relaxed one was Ji Haoyue. He held the Void Mirror, and the imperial weapon isolated him from all influences, allowing him to fight as before.

The powerful figure from the Ji family was somewhat affected, his speed slowed down, but fortunately he had the Great Void Technique, so he could teleport away when his speed was slow, which did not greatly affect the battle.

Of course, the current situation alone is enough to make the powerful members of the Ji family feel uncomfortable.

Damn it! He had originally thought that with their numerical advantage, they could suppress and capture the rest of the Qinglian lineage first, and then negotiate with Yan Ruyu and Wannian.

At least the Qinglian lineage now has a powerful figure, and he is willing to give the Qinglian lineage this face.

Now, look what's happened! A powerful, golden figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere and froze everyone in place! Doesn't this completely erase the Ji family's advantage in superior combat power?!

Although the other party has not yet stated their position, given their actions, they are most likely on the side of the Qinglian lineage!

.......

"Damn it!" The powerful figure from the Ji family gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Xiu.

"Who exactly are you? And why are you interfering in the affairs of my Ji family?!"

"I?"

“I am the protector of the Tianxuan Holy Land. You may call me ‘Dao Master’.”

Lin Xiu directly brought out the nickname he had given himself in the Armor Hero world.

"The Tianxuan lineage... Dao Master?"

"Never heard of it..."

Although it may sound a bit impolite, the powerful figures of the Ji family had never heard of any other family's powerful figures being called Dao Lords, let alone seen such golden and dazzling Five Elements power.
