************************************
Li Weiyi activated the "Forward" character technique, his body flickering to dodge the attack and narrowly escaping the Dark Domain.
"Boom! Boom..."
Xie Chucai, wielding his Silver Blade, channeled his Spiritual Qi to control ten battle artifacts. He manipulated them like ten stars, forcing Li Weiyi, who wielded the Dragon Soul and Fusang Divine Tree, to retreat continuously.
"This Dark Domain is too strange. Only someone with cultivation as profound as the Six Desires Dharma King, at the eighth level of the Dao Seed Realm, could shatter it with a single punch."
"Light and darkness are mutually dependent and antagonistic. It's impossible to break through!"
The Dragon Soul swished its tail, sending several Spiritual Artifacts flying back at Xie Chucai.
This bought Li Weiyi a brief respite.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Weiyi soared into the air, raising his Myriad Manifestations Staff-Spear above his head.
Starry trails appeared on his body.
Instantly, starlight from beyond the heavens pierced through the branches of the Earth Demon Pine and converged upon him. His body and the staff-spear became radiant with starlight, and he brought it crashing down.
Xie Chucai, who had been soaring upward through the Dark Domain, his expression shifting dramatically, immediately changed his attack, slashing his blade toward the starlight.
The starlight shattered the Dark Domain and sent Xie Chucai plummeting back to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Boom!"
Then came the second strike, the third...
Li Weiyi continuously channeled Starlight Radiance, striking down at the Dark Domain below, relentlessly dispersing the darkness.
"Incredible! What technique is that? Even starlight is being pulled down!"
"Xie Chucai thought he had the advantage of timing, but he didn't realize that the night sky holds not only darkness but also the vast starry sea above."
"Is this what the challenge letter meant by 'frost-star reflecting snow'?"
An Xianjing stared intently at the staff-spear in Li Weiyi's hand, then turned to Yao Qingxuan beside her, her eyes asking for an explanation.
Yao Qingxuan shook her head gently, completely unaware: "I didn't give it to him. He must have found this opportunity himself in the Underground Immortal Mansion. It's extraordinary - likely a key artifact of the Ancient Bhagavata Sect."
"He's being reckless! Driven by youthful arrogance, he's willing to reveal all his trump cards just to win," An Xianjing said.
Yao Qingxuan replied, "Indeed, he shouldn't put himself in such danger. But if he loses tonight, I'll be even angrier."
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
....
Countless dragon roars erupted, boiling the mountain peak.
The fiery glow illuminated the scene, transforming it into a nest of ten thousand dragons.
From the Wind Mansion at the back of Li Weiyi's head, Seven-Clawed Flame Heavenly Dragons soared forth, filling the sky with scriptures and activating Spiritual Qi energy - a clear sign of an impending breakthrough.
These Seven-Clawed Flame Heavenly Dragons devoured the scriptures unleashed by the Immortality Golden Pill.
This phenomenon had persisted for many days within Li Weiyi's Wind Mansion, but now it erupted uncontrollably.
Neither Li Weiyi nor Tang Wanzhou had anticipated such an event.
Tang Wanzhou termed it "Myriad Dragons Devouring the Dao," believing the Seven-Clawed Flame Heavenly Dragons were too divine. Ordinary scriptures were merely food for them, which they could directly consume to nourish themselves.
A normal cultivator's Dao Seed is like cultivating a plant, requiring sunlight, soil, and water to grow slowly over a century into a towering tree - much like the process of a Martial-Mystic Cultivator comprehending the Dao.
But because of the Seven-Clawed Flame Heavenly Dragons, Li Weiyi's Wind Mansion Dragon Seed was no longer a docile plant. It had become a raging beast that could devour plants to grow rapidly.
As a result, Li Weiyi's Wind Mansion Dragon Seed had no need to worry about an unstable foundation. It was a Heavenly Dragon, not a tree, not a tower - it didn't need a foundation.
A Heavenly Dragon needed only food; its species' inherent level was its foundation.
"Did I see that right... Seven-Clawed? His Dao Heart Manifestation showed a Dragon Shadow with seven claws. Isn't that a Heavenly Dragon?" a young Heavenly Pride cultivating the Dragon Seed Dao asked, turning to Immortal Ge and Jiang Ning.
Immortal Ge frowned, a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Yes, it's seven-clawed. Truly extraordinary. The Immortal Masters of the Calamity Crossing Temple once said that Martial-Mystic Cultivators cultivating the Dragon Seed Dao need to continuously refine Ancient Immortal Dragon Blood until they reach the Transcendent Realm to manifest a Heavenly Dragon light-and-shadow from their Spiritual Qi. Alternatively, they could achieve the Martial-Mystic Dao Ancient Heavenly Emperor title."
The young Heavenly Pride continued, "Lord Ge, your Dao Heart Manifestation is a Five-Clawed True Dragon, isn't it?"
Immortal Ge hadn't thought much of this before. The Young Celestial Emperor of the Calamity Crossing Temple, who cultivated the Dragon Seed Dao, all manifested Five-Clawed True Dragons in the Dao Seed Realm, putting them far ahead of all other Heavenly Prides and heroes.
Luansheng Linyou's ability to cultivate a Six-Clawed Immortal Dragon was due to his Dragon Clan bloodline as the direct descendant of a Flying Dragon.
Having cultivated the Great Dao of the Dragon Clan since childhood, he was naturally unmatched by humans.
Hearing this now, however, Immortal Ge grew increasingly uncomfortable.
"You're also cultivating the Dragon Seed Dao, yet your Dao Heart Manifestation is just a Two-Clawed Flood Dragon?"
The young Heavenly Pride chuckled awkwardly, "Lord Ge, don't get so worked up. No matter how powerful he is, he's still cultivating the Wind Mansion Dragon Seed. He'll never reach the Immortal Realm."
The scene erupting from Li Weiyi's Wind Mansion, located at the back of his head, put to rest the doubts of those who had suspected his Ancestral Field was still intact.
If his Ancestral Field hadn't been damaged, how could he have Seeded Dao in his Wind Mansion?
No matter how brilliant he was, it would still be a flawed and inferior root, forever locking his Martial-Mystic Path at its peak.
On the ground, Xie Chucai sensed Li Weiyi's Martial-Mystic Path breaking through. He knew this was bad news. If his opponent's strength increased by another tenth, he would be in a dire situation.
"Whoosh!"
Xie Chucai used his Blood Robe to withstand the starlight raining down from above.
Behind him, space shuddered violently, and a crack appeared.
A piercing cracking sound echoed through the heavens and earth.
After Shi Liuyu's battle with Xie Chucai, Jiang Ning had sent Zhuang Yue to investigate the crack's origin.
She shouted a warning: "Be careful of the Dark True Spirit raised by the Sacred Dark Family!"
Li Weiyi had already sensed the terrifying aura emanating from beyond the spatial crack - ancient, chilling, and reminiscent of the gates of hell about to open.
The Dragon Soul flew out, charging toward Xie Chucai to prevent him from releasing the Dark True Spirit.
"Pfft!"
The Dragon Soul struck Xie Chucai, sending him spitting blood and staggering backward.
The blood on the ground transformed into Blood Qi and flew toward the spatial rift.
"Crack..."
The rift widened, spewing forth a torrent of heterodox scriptures and deathly power to repel the Dragon Soul's attack.
A pale, withered hand emerged from the rift - a grotesque sight that sent chills down the spine and struck fear into the Soul Spirit.
The situation was too Strange. Li Weiyi dared not release Little Seven, fearing they would perish at the hands of the Dark True Spirit or be recognized by the powerful figures in Lingxiao City.
Li Weiyi poured all his energy into a Martial-Mystic Dao Breakthrough, pulling the Spiritual Qi and scriptures of the Seven-Clawed Flame Heavenly Dragon form.
Within the Wind Mansion, he began to condense a Dao Lotus.
"Boom! Boom..."
The Dragon Soul and Xie Chucai clashed fiercely, diverting his Intent and buying Li Weiyi precious time.
Before long, half of the Dark True Spirit's body had squeezed through the rift. Its upper half alone was over two meters long, resembling a pale, withered corpse - bones wrapped in human skin, with three eyes.
Li Weiyi retrieved a Dead Spirit Puppet from his Boundary Pouch.
The moment the puppet charged forward, the Dark True Spirit, summoned by Xie Chucai, slammed it into the ground with a single palm strike.
"Hurry, hurry..."
Li Weiyi knew perfectly well that only the power of the Yellow Dragon Sword and the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal could defeat such an evil entity.
However, with his cultivation at the Third Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, his ability to wield the Yellow Dragon Sword and the Purple Heaven Thunder Seal was severely limited.
"Boom!"
The Dark True Spirit fully emerged from the spatial rift, instantly filling the entire mountaintop with a suffocating aura of malevolence. Countless Martial-Mystic Cultivators watching the battle fled down the mountain in terror.
It took the Blood Pool Silver Sea Battle Blade from Xie Chucai's grasp and swung it down.
The Dragon Soul shattered, transforming into wisps of faint soul mist that flew back into the Governor's Official Robe.
"Use your protective talisman!" Tai Shi Yu shouted.
Li Weiyi didn't use his protective talisman.
He locked eyes with Xie Chucai and the Dark True Spirit, then took a deep breath, drew the Yellow Dragon Sword, and let his long hair fly in the wind.
Holding the sword in one hand and a spear in the other, he stepped into the air.
He strode forward with his fighting spirit reaching its peak, and lotus flowers bloomed beneath his feet.
One step, one lotus.
Each lotus was formed of condensed Spiritual Qi and had nine petals.
"He's condensed a Dao Lotus! It's the Dao Heart Manifestation projected beneath his feet!" someone exclaimed.
Many eyes fixed on the lotus flowers beneath Li Weiyi's feet.
When they saw that each had nine petals, gasps of cold air filled the air.
"The Nine-Petaled Dao Lotus... I knew his Dao Lotus wouldn't be low-grade. Indeed, it has reached the extreme," Immortal Ge said with a wry smile, as if he had anticipated this all along.
Others, constrained by the Wind Mansion, were no weaker than him, and had also unleashed the full potential of their Dragon Seed.
The lowest-grade Dao Lotus had three petals.
Many Inferior Root Dao Seed Realm Martial-Mystic Cultivators, influenced by the Wind Mansion, could only condense a three-petaled Dao Lotus.
Dragon Seeds were top-tier Dao Seeds.
The young Martial-Mystic Cultivators who had Seeded Dao with Dragon Seeds all possessed exceptional talent. Even the worst among them could cultivate a six-petaled Dao Lotus.
With the Dark True Spirit's aid, Xie Chucai was brimming with confidence.
He roared, "Breaking through to the Fourth Heaven is nothing! You're still far from my level!"
He adopted a bow stance, his hands forming clouds of Spiritual Qi as he activated ten Spiritual Artifacts.
They soared over the Dark True Spirit's head and attacked Li Weiyi in unison.
How could Li Weiyi rely solely on Martial-Mystic Path strength?
He had to go all out and drive Xie Chucai into a desperate, life-or-death situation.
He leaped into the air, raising his spear in one hand to draw down the starlight radiance from the heavens.
In the other hand, he held his sword, its blade displaying the nine characters of the Six Jia Secrets Incantation, which summoned countless bolts of lightning.
Spear and sword clashed.
"Boom!"
Starlight and lightning, two opposing forces, intertwined to form a brilliant, thick pillar of light that blasted away all incoming Spiritual Artifacts, slamming into the Dark True Spirit.
The Yellow Dragon Sword had summoned not ordinary lightning, but the Six-Jia Yang Lightning, capable of incinerating yin energy and dispelling evil.
The Dark True Spirit slashed its blade through the pillar of light and lightning.
As the lightning coursed through its body, its skin immediately hissed and crackled.
Li Weiyi saw through the Dark True Spirit's invincibility. Its power was limited by Xie Chucai.
He combined Psychic Power and the Martial-Mystic Path.
"Karma Burning Wheel!"
Using his body and the Fusang Divine Tree as pivots, Li Weiyi raised his spear in one hand and his sword in the other.
He summoned Starlight Radiance and Six-Jia Yang Lightning to swirl around the fiery grinding wheel as it crashed down upon the Dark True Spirit with overwhelming force.
The Karma Burning Wheel itself possessed the power to purify Dead Spirits.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The Dark True Spirit was struck by the massive, several-yard-wide Karma Burning Wheel and sent flying, unable to resist.
Xie Chucai watched the Dark True Spirit soar overhead, his mind momentarily blank.
In the next instant, the scorching heatwave from the Karma Burning Wheel swept over him.
There was no way to defend against it.
All the power he unleashed was instantly crushed.
"Pfft!"
Xie Chucai's body was caught in the wheel. Blood poured from his seven orifices, the sound of bones shattering echoed within him, and his screams of agony replaced his earlier arrogance.
Below, within a Zen Temple at the foot of the mountain, an Elder from the Sacred Dark Family, clad in a black robe and with white hair, let out a furious snort and soared into the sky.
But before he could reach the halfway point, his body plummeted back down.
"They said it would be a fair fight, with life and death left to fate. Surely the Sacred Dark Family isn't so petty as to be unable to accept defeat?" a vast female voice echoed.
The Third Palace Master stepped across the void from the peak of Qilin Terrace, standing above the Six Thoughts Zen Temple. Her Spiritual Light (Lingguang) illuminated the heavens, turning the world into daylight, her Psychic Power dominating the entire Cloud Heaven (Yuntian) Immortal Plain.
Above Lingxiao City, the Nine Heavens Beyond the Clouds Grand Formation, the most powerful Formation Mist Heavenly Sovereign had devised, was activated.
The spectral images of nine Ancient Immortal Giant Beasts flickered within the formation.
The Third Palace Master stood at the center of the formation, her figure graceful and peerless, her colorful ribbons fluttering in the wind.
A mental whisper entered Li Weiyi's mind: "Only by controlling a person's life and death can you extract useful information. He may not know much, but he's the only one who might speak."
