*********************************
Qilin Zhuang stood proudly atop the head of a mountain-sized Qilin phantom, clad in Dragon Armor.
The phantom strode toward the South City gate, closing in on the Zen Hai Guanwu.
His eyes blazed with determination, and above his head floated the Supreme Magic Artifact, the Night Emperor Silver Moon.
Without a trace of fear or contempt, Qilin Zhuang met Zen Hai Guanwu's gaze.
"Mist Heavenly Sovereign, you once slew the Flying Dragon with such vigor, your name shook Yingzhou. Now, two thousand eight hundred years later, the Son of the Flying Dragon, Zhuang, has returned for vengeance."
The Phoenix Nest hovered in the sky, appearing as vast as a planet, even more magnificent than Lingxiao City. Its radiant glow enveloped the land for thousands of miles.
The Azure Phoenix, in human form, stood atop the Phoenix Nest, her azure robes flowing like a painted scroll.
"Where is Yu Yaozi? We can't let her escape. Otherwise, the consequences will be endless."
At that moment, all the Transcendent present deeply realized the consequences of failing to strike at the root.
Two thousand eight hundred years ago, Qilin Zhuang had escaped, only to return and overturn the entire Lingxiao Realm.
Today, they were about to slay Zen Hai Guanwu and destroy Lingxiao City. Who dared gamble that Yu Yaozi couldn't reforge the Other Shore Heavenly Pill and return a millennium later to settle accounts?
Zen Hai Guanwu's flesh and blood rapidly regenerated, her figure radiating an unparalleled aura as she stood alone with her sword.
"The battle isn't over yet," she declared, "Who lives and who dies remains to be seen."
"Mist Heavenly Sovereign, what admirable spirit!" Mountain Lord Huihuo, a Golden Tiger with the bloodline of an Ancient Immortal Giant Beast and the leader of the Lingxiao Realm's Four Great Demon Kings, roared, "May I ask, where have you been all these years?"
Zen Hai Guanwu offered no response.
"Roar!"
Within the city, atop the Phoenix Pavilion, the Ghost Banner fluttered above the Heavenly Law Earth Spring.
Having absorbed sufficient Spiritual Qi, the Ghost Banner unleashed a howling Yin wind, its Ghost Qi spreading like a miasma.
From this spectral mist rose a colossal Yin Ghost War General.
With a ram's head, clad in armor, and wielding a war halberd, it radiated an overwhelming, bone-chilling aura.
At its helm stood the Third Palace Master.
The Demon Kingdom Crown Prince frowned.
"The Moye Ghost God Banner has fallen into your hands? It seems my Imperial Uncle has perished."
Though the Moye Ghost God was formidable, the Demon Kingdom Crown Prince, Qilin Zhuang, Lord Lan, the Second Palace Master, Azure Phoenix, and Mountain Huihuo - beings of their caliber - felt no fear.
The Second Palace Master saw through Zen Hai Guanwu's facade: "Master, your internal organs are already shattered, aren't they? Your Spiritual Qi is in chaos. Can those two foreign Other Shore Heavenly Pills still hold you together? I dare say you're on the verge of exploding from within, barely maintaining control with your immense Psychic Power."
Lord Lan held the Yellow Mud Lamp, five Transcendent Dead Spirits standing in formation behind him, their feet resting on a sea of corpses bathed in ethereal light.
At this moment, he feared nothing in the world: "Let's move. After we deal with her, we'll wipe out the Snow Sword Tang Court, the Zuoqiu Clan, and the Thundercloud Sect. Those Ancient Myriad Sects also have plenty of treasures - their accumulated wealth is substantial."
Zen Hai Guanwu advanced step by step, the Void Sword hovering above her head.
A vast Buddhist's Voice resonated within her, and endless Buddhist light bloomed beneath her feet, golden lotuses blossoming across the land.
"Xian Min," she said, "you think you understand your Master, but do you truly? You weren't even born when I conquered the world. You still have much to learn."
"I also cultivate the Void Enlightenment Manual, Master," the Second Palace Master replied, "Your bluster won't work."
Zen Hai Guanwu swept her gaze across all the Transcendent beings present and the Supreme Spiritual Artifacts suspended in the air.
"Since everyone's here, this battle officially begins now. No one will escape. Today, I will slaughter every Transcendent until I've purged this world of darkness and forged a new future."
"Only by saturating the soil of the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain with Transcendent blood can we suppress the world for another three thousand years."
Her words rang out with unwavering conviction, each syllable striking the ground with resounding force.
The confidence and determination in her voice startled the Transcendent present, who had previously believed the battle was already decided.
They now grew cautious.
Qilin Zhuang subtly lowered the Night Emperor Silver Moon, drawing it closer to his body.
The Demon Kingdom Crown Prince activated three Immortal Gates, circulating Spiritual Qi within his body.
Lord Lan's lamp burned with even greater brilliance.
The Phoenix Nest rapidly contracted in size, its light growing blindingly intense.
The name "Zen Hai Guanwu" carried immense weight.
Duke Tai Shi lay gravely wounded, on the verge of death.
Within his brow center spirit realm, the sea of Psychic Power stars burned fiercely to sustain the Immortal Origin Formation.
Both his body and Psychic Power were nearing exhaustion.
He gazed at the proud figure of Zen Hai Guanwu facing the overwhelming enemy forces alone.
Gradually, her silhouette merged with the memory of his teacher - the same indomitable spirit, the same disdain for the world.
Weak and murmuring, Duke Tai Shi whispered, "She's back... Teacher is truly back!"
"Xian Min, you think my viscera are my weakness? Have you forgotten that the Five Viscera and Six Bowels are the eleven kingdoms of the human body?"
"Eleven kingdoms hidden within the abdomen."
Zen Hai Guanwu roared, her body soaring into the air, radiating boundless Buddhist light.
The Five Viscera and Six Bowels within her resonated with sonorous Buddhist chants, transforming into eleven Buddhist Kingdoms, each filled with countless monks chanting scriptures.
Golden patterns began to appear across her flesh and skin.
The Demon Kingdom Crown Prince and Qilin Zhuang were the first to sense the anomaly.
Zen Hai Guanwu's aura was rapidly escalating.
The two attacked simultaneously, streaks of light converging on her from left and right.
Zen Hai Guanwu extended both palms, seizing their incoming fist and claw.
"Boom!"
A cataclysmic surge of energy erupted between them, sweeping across the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain.
The earth buckled and cracked, fissures spreading across the land.
All the Transcendent beings were terrified, retreating in unison.
Those who lingered too close risked being injured by the shockwaves.
The Demon Kingdom Crown Prince's eyes widened in disbelief. Their combined full-force strike, a collaboration with Qilin Zhuang, had been effortlessly intercepted by Zen Hai Guanwu.
Not only had she blocked the attack, but her physical form remained completely unscathed.
"Golden Body... Sixteen-Foot Golden Body."
The golden radiance emanating from Zen Hai Guanwu intensified.
Amidst the resounding chants of the eleven Buddhist Kingdoms, her body grew taller and taller, until it reached sixteen feet, shimmering like pure gold.
Even her hair was golden.
The Demon Kingdom Crown Prince and Qilin Zhuang felt an overwhelming, irresistible force pressing down on them.
The Zen Hai Guanwu's power forced them to retreat relentlessly, their feet unable to find purchase.
"Eleven kingdoms hidden within her abdomen, a sixteen-foot Golden Body... This isn't an Imperial Technique, it's an Immortal Technique - definitely a physical manifestation of Celestial Technique! Quickly, use your Supreme Spiritual Artifacts! Only they can break through her Golden Body!" The Second Palace Master's face paled as ancient, bloodline-deep reverence surged through her.
Lord Lan unleashed the Yellow Mud Lamp at full power. Its soul-searing flames and radiant light erupted with supreme magical might, scorching the ground beneath its path into a molten river of lava.
Azure Phoenix, riding the Phoenix Nest, descended to suppress the temple.
Zen Hai Guanwu flung Qilin Zhuang toward the Phoenix Nest.
Azure Phoenix swiftly converted her offensive power into defensive force, creating thirteen layers of shimmering barriers to catch Qilin Zhuang.
The Demon Kingdom Crown Prince, his hand gripped tightly by Zen Hai Guanwu, struggled to break free.
He desperately threw another punch.
"Boom!"
Before his fist could land, Zen Hai Guanwu's golden Buddha palm struck the crown of his head, driving his neck deep into his torso until only his head remained perched on his shoulders.
Despite the Demon Kingdom Crown Prince's protective treasures, he fell into a dazed stupor, blood streaming from his seven orifices.
"Boom!"
Zen Hai Guanwu struck Lord Lan's chest with another palm, shattering his armor completely.
Blood and flesh splattered from his upper body as he was sent flying like a cannonball.
In the next instant, she didn't flinch or dodge, instead colliding her Sixteen-Foot Golden Body directly with the Yellow Mud Lamp.
With a thunderous crash, the Yellow Mud Lamp was sent hurtling sideways.
Lord Lan was stunned.
He had never imagined anyone could break through the attack of a Supreme Spiritual Artifact in such a way. This was a Supreme Spiritual Artifact - even the Martial-Mystic Dao Heavenly Emperor wouldn't dare face its full force with their bare body.
"Not good!"
In Lord Lan's pupils, the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body of Zen Hai Guanwu rapidly expanded, closing in on him.
"I possess the corpse of an Ancient Celestial Emperor! How could I fear you?"
The Orchid Mark on Lord Lan's brow flashed, and the surrounding void filled with Orchid petals, each inscribed with scriptures.
Flanked by five Transcendent Dead Spirits, he formed a Battle Formation and unleashed a mysterious Dao Technique.
"Boom!"
Zen Hai Guanwu shattered the Dao Technique with a single palm strike, then unleashed seven consecutive strikes.
Each palm sent the six Transcendent Dead Spirits, including Lord Lan, hurtling backward in explosive retreats.
The eighth palm pierced through the Battle Formation, followed by five thunderous blasts.
Except for Lord Lan, all five Transcendent Dead Spirits were annihilated.
It was terrifying!
Lord Lan was the overlord of a vast territory within the Nether Realm of the Dead, allowing him to command nearly ten Transcendent beings.
In the Netherworld, each Transcendent ruled over vast domains spanning tens of thousands of miles. Yet today, they had been wiped out in an instant.
As one might imagine, the southeastern Netherworld would soon descend into chaos, as old powers gave way to new.
The Four Extremes Ape King, witnessing this carnage, turned and fled, his heart pounding like a drum, nearly scaring the Transcendent to death.
He regretted ascending to the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain so hastily; had he known this would happen, he would have continued his attack on South Yan Pass for longer.
"I told you, none of you are leaving."
Zen Hai Guanwu grasped the Void Sword floating above her head and pursued the Four Extremes Ape King.
Hovering in mid-air, she slashed out a Nether River, severing the Ape King's mountain-sized head.
Transcendent blood cascaded to the ground like a waterfall.
The spell "Eleven Kingdoms Hidden Within the Abdomen, Sixteen-Foot Golden Body" was cast using Yu Yaozi's Other Shore Buddha Pill and the residual Heavenly Emperor's Power within her bones. It could not be sustained for long.
Therefore, she had to wait for all her enemies to gather and eliminate them swiftly.
She needed to use this battle to cleanse the Lingxiao Realm's surroundings.
Only then would the Human Clan have a chance of victory, and the Living Realm would not become a Rice Realm, a Demon Kingdom, or a Netherworld.
Qilin Zhuang channeled the full supreme power of the Night Emperor Silver Moon.
The silver moon spun into the air, its silvery scriptures transforming into a vast ocean.
Even the Martial-Mystic Dao Heavenly Emperor would have to temporarily evade this strike without using a Supreme Spiritual Artifact.
"Boom!"
Zen Hai Guanwu strode forward, slashing her sword at the incoming Night Emperor Silver Moon.
The Supreme Spiritual Artifact's power repelled her dozens of miles.
Regaining her footing, she spun to evade the Silver Moon.
In the next instant, she transformed into a golden streak of light, her sword cleaving through the air to strike Qilin Zhuang.
Qilin Zhuang's Dragon Armor was his true Heavy Artifact, while the Night Emperor Silver Moon was merely borrowed.
The Dragon Armor erupted with phantom images of ten thousand dragons, clashing head-on with the Void Sword.
"Bang!"
The phantom dragons shattered, the Void Sword tore through the Dragon Armor, and Qilin Zhuang was sent crashing to the ground, blood spraying from his body.
The impact cratered the earth into a mile-wide crater. Qilin Zhuang knelt at the bottom, looking up.
He saw a golden beam of light piercing straight through the Phoenix Nest.
At the beam's apex stood Zen Hai Guanwu, her sword poised to strike down at the Azure Phoenix, which was desperately trying to escape.
"Pfft!"
Blood stained the sky as the Azure Phoenix's massive body split in two, its beak emitting a piercing, mournful cry.
The sword's force even cleaved through the Immortal Plains' protective Formation.
Half of the Azure Phoenix's body fell onto the Immortal Plains, while the other half plummeted over the cliff's edge.
...
Dongyu Pass.
Xia Jin blocked the Blazing Spirit Transcendent attempting to breach the pass, her gaze drawn to the crimson sky in the distance.
She saw the Azure Phoenix's mangled corpse plummeting, and her heart trembled violently.
Master Guan stood tall, chest puffed out, and declared, "See? Now do you believe your Uncle-Master? How does your cultivation compare to the Azure Phoenix's? Your Uncle-Master doesn't want to see you throw your lives away. The Mist Heavenly Sovereign's return guarantees a bloodbath. The Emperor's Sword will drive all Transcendent beings into the shadows, never again daring to stir up trouble in the sunlight or plague the common folk."
