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

However, the Queen Mother of the West's words, "If Little Ancestor can't handle it, he can easily borrow imperial weapons. My Yaochi's Western Emperor Tower might not even be considered a top contender," directly dispelled her worries.

Yes~

If Lin Xiuzhen is in any danger, the Queen Mother of the West will definitely take action. What is there to worry about? She is truly letting her concern cloud her judgment.

Before parting, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi asked her again:

"By the way, Little Ancestor, the battle for the Imperial Weapons up there is not over yet. Should I inform Master so that she can use the Western Emperor Pagoda to help out?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi shared similar thoughts with the other cultivators. They all believed that regardless of Lin Xiu's victory or defeat, the real deciding factor would be the battle of the Imperial Weapons above.

However, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi knew more information than those ordinary cultivators, and knew that Lin Xiu could summon more imperial weapons to assist in the battle at any time.

"Support? No need, it's about time to end this."

Lin Xiu looked up at the sky.

Now that things have come to this, he has the time to free up his hands, and the battle over there should be over.

........

the other side.

High above the heavens, beneath the stars of the universe, the Dao Lord was engaged in a fierce battle with a Saint Lord-level figure who had concealed his true identity.

That being said, Lin Xiu had actually deduced his true identity long ago.

The Saint Lord-level figure who made this move is one of the most powerful figures in the Ruthless Clan and one of the current leaders of the clan. The Imperial Weapon he deployed was naturally the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron from the Yao Guang Holy Land.

The reason he took action was quite simple.

On one hand, they had already learned that Hua Yunfei had broken free of his restraints, and they had also deduced that it was highly likely that the Dao Lord had personally killed the powerful figure from his Ruthless lineage. They had to get revenge.

On the other hand, it's because Lin Xiu's talent is simply too astonishing. If they don't intervene soon, once Lin Xiu fully matures, he can not only protect them but also Ye Fan, who also possesses the Sacred Body. In that case, how will they obtain the Sacred Body's essence?

Combining the two factors, most of the ruthless faction agreed to take action against Lin Xiu.

However, man proposes, God disposes... They never expected that Lin Xiu would actually expel Ye Fan from Tianxuan!

You should have said so earlier!

If they had said so earlier, they wouldn't have cooperated with the Yin Yang Sect!

With a weaker Holy Body like Ye Fan available to help, why would they need to confront Lin Xiu, who has an Imperial Weapon and powerful protectors?

However... by the time he learned of this news, it was too late.

Their lineage had gone to great lengths to borrow the imperial weapon; how could they possibly back down?

This kind of thing doesn't come with a refund!

Therefore, adhering to the traditional virtue of "it's a waste not to use it", the ruthless lineage's holy master-level figure still resolutely went on.

Isn't he just the Dao Lord?

I heard he was very strong, but unfortunately I never got to fight him.

Today we'll see who's truly capable! Let the world know that the powerful figures of his ruthless lineage are not to be killed lightly!

........

The battle entered a heated phase right from the start.

The Dao Lord held a golden battle banner, which fluttered in the wind, its golden light illuminating half the sky.

Opposite them, a black and gold cauldron with dragon patterns floated in the void. Its body was as black as ink, with dragon patterns moving across its surface, radiating a chilling imperial aura. Behind the cauldron stood a blurry figure, shrouded in chaotic mist.

“I already know your true form, fellow Daoist, why hide your identity?” The Dao Master’s deep voice came from within the golden armor.

"Hmph, enough nonsense! Today... you and Holy Body Lin Xiu will both die!"

The powerful figures of the Ruthless lineage were unwilling to reveal their identities, so they simply urged the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron to press down on the Dao Lord.

The imperial weapons clashed, unleashing a deafening roar.

The golden battle flag fluttered, and golden divine light cascaded down like a waterfall, each strand as heavy as a mountain.

The black and gold cauldron with dragon patterns emitted a soaring black light, and it seemed as if a real dragon was roaring inside, its cry shaking the heavens.

"Boom! Boom boom boom boom boom!~"

After multiple collisions, the void exploded, and countless fragments of laws flew about, making it difficult for all living beings in the entire Eastern Wilderness to breathe.

.......

Although the two imperial weapons were engaged in a great battle outside the realm and had not fully recovered, the residual power generated by each clash was enough to make the earth within a radius of millions of miles tremble!

The Dao Lord moved like lightning, traversing the shattered void. The golden battle banner in his hand sometimes thrust out like a spear, sometimes swept across like a divine whip, its golden divine light tearing through the sky.

The dragon-patterned black and gold cauldron remained as stable as Mount Tai, using force to overcome skill and perfectly protecting the powerful members of the Ruthless Man's lineage.

"Is that all you've got?"

The ruthless lineage's powerful figure sneered and increased his divine power output.

The next second, the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron suddenly enlarged, like a black divine mountain pressing down, spewing out chaotic energy from its mouth, trying to absorb the golden battle flag into it for refinement.

The Dao Lord remained calm and composed. With a shake of his golden battle banner, the banner transformed into countless golden runes that intertwined in the void to form a vast net, intercepting all the chaotic energy.

"Even the most powerful imperial weapons are useless if the user wields them!"

The Dao Lord also made some harsh remarks.

Although both sides were making threats and acting as if they wanted to kill each other, in reality, both the Dao Lord and the powerful figures of the Ruthless lineage were waiting for the outcome to be revealed.

The Dao Lord is not going all out because Lin Xiu's true form is currently unavailable. Only when Lin Xiu's true form is free can the Dao Lord truly go all out.

The powerful figure from the Ruthless Sect didn't go all out because he was just there to make a cameo appearance and keep the Dao Lord occupied. He believed that the powerful figure from the Yin-Yang Sect would be able to quickly deal with Lin Xiu.

Then.......

Then the Yin-Yang Sect gave him a big surprise.

.......

"Huh? What's going on? Has the magic array that's been connecting us with malfunctioned? Why is it suddenly silent?"

Just as the powerful figures of the Ruthless lineage were wondering what was going on, the Dao Lord suddenly unleashed an unprecedentedly powerful aura.

The Dao Lord raised his hand and pointed, and a ray of dazzling golden light flew from his fingertip and disappeared into the surface of the golden battle flag.

As soon as they entered, the golden battle flag began to shake violently.

Because... what Lin Xiu injected was the soul power of Wen Jun, the Great Accomplished Holy Body, which he had copied!

"Boom!~"

Sensing the power of its master's soul, the golden battle banner burst forth with unprecedented brilliance! All the golden runes on the banner came to life, swimming across the banner like dragons!

"Partial recovery?!"

The powerful figure from the Ruthless lineage couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Chapter 260 The Use of the Ultimate Emperor's Helm

The powerful figures of the Ruthless lineage never expected that the Dao Lord could allow the Imperial Weapon to enter a semi-revived state without any cooldown!

Only a saint can revive an imperial weapon; for powerful beings, even partial revival is the limit.

In this state, the Imperial Weapon will have some vague consciousness. Although it cannot unleash a true Imperial Weapon attack, it is still much stronger than the Imperial Weapon in its dormant state!

"Go!~"

With a shout from the Dao Lord, the golden battle flag broke free from his grasp and continued to grow larger!

In an instant, the golden battle flag transformed into a giant golden banner ten thousand feet long!

A blazing golden imperial aura spread out, and with a flick of the banner, it directly and fiercely bound the dragon-patterned black and gold cauldron!

"not good!"

The powerful figure from the Ruthless lineage changed his expression drastically and hurriedly activated the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, trying to break free from its restraints.

However, the golden battle flag had already partially recovered, its surface as if forged from divine gold, tightly binding the black cauldron, and no matter how he urged it, he could not break free.

"Depend on!"

We can't use the Imperial Weapon anymore!

If we don't use the Imperial Weapon, are we supposed to make him fight the Dao Lord hand-to-hand?

But how can he hide his true identity in this way?

While the powerful figures of the Ruthless lineage hesitated... Dao took the initiative!

The golden armor radiated boundless divine light, and the power of the five elements surged out wildly. The five colors of divine light—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—intertwined, making him appear like a god!

Even more astonishingly, the Dao principles around him roared, as if he had merged with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!

"This is... a divine restriction?!"

The powerful figure from the Ruthless lineage suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He never expected that, besides Lin Xiu, the Dao Lord could also enter the state of divine restriction!

The divine restriction at the Saint Lord level has been unparalleled in the Eastern Wilderness for far too long!

......

In theory, without the Dao Lord of the Five Great Secret Realms, it is impossible to unleash the Divine Restriction.

However, the Dao Lord is quite special. It is both a product of the Heavenly Dao and has an affinity with it, and a product of the system, completely under Lin Xiu's control.

Therefore, if Lin Xiu can send out a Daoist self or himself to reside in the Dao Lord, he can use these two characteristics of the Dao Lord to resonate and sublimate with heaven and earth, achieving a different kind of divine restriction!

Before the ruthless lineage could think further, the Dao Lord had already arrived.

[Five-Gate Killer Move!]

The five-colored gems at the Dao Lord's waist lit up simultaneously, and the power of the five elements gathered around his body, transforming into five golden cards of different colors, which were placed in front of the Dao Lord.

Then.......

[Aurora Sword!]

The Dao Lord bowed slightly and unleashed the Aurora Sword with the fierce momentum of a tiger descending from the mountain!

The Aurora Sword passed through the five-colored cards and transformed into a five-colored divine dragon protected by five-colored dragon scales!
