Chen Xin held a golden Heaven-Flipping Seal, a magical treasure left by Elder Chen Jiang, with bloodline restrictions refined by a secret technique.
It had become his Lifebound Magical Treasure, with power far surpassing an ordinary Tier Three Lower Grade Magical Treasure, bearing the might of a mountain pressing down.
Lin Xian summoned three Jade Wheels, the golden disc representing the sun, the silver disc representing the moon, and the slightly smaller blue disc representing the stars, interweaving to form the Three Talents Domain.
Li Weiyang then wielded the Tier Three Magical Treasure, the Profound Water Poison Dragon Banner, with dark patterns flowing on its surface, faint images of seven poison dragons vaguely visible.
It was no wonder everyone was so solemn; the power of the Demon Cultivator was partially revealed—Late-stage Golden Core, a strength capable of sweeping across the Chu Kingdom Cultivation Realm.
...
Suddenly, a blood-colored light fell from the sky, crashing heavily outside the Qinghua Sect's mountain gate, transforming into the figure of the Blood Refining Dharma King.
Blood flames surged around him, his voice exploding like thunder:
"Hua Taixuan, quickly withdraw your formation and surrender! If you submit to me, you shall be appointed as Venerable Qinghua, ensuring the survival of your sect. But if you stubbornly resist, once I break the formation, I will bathe Qinghua in blood, leaving no living soul!"
Hua Taixuan snorted coldly, his voice stern and steady:
"Demon, desist from your deceptive words!"
"The Qinghua Sect has a legacy of thousands of years, and it will not bow to evil demons! If you have the ability, then enter my array for a battle!"
"Ignorant!"
The Blood Refining Dharma King's eyes flared with blood light, his entire body erupted with blood energy, transforming into a blood-colored remnant shadow several feet long.

The edges of the remnant shadow rippled with delicate spatial ripples, directly piercing the outer light membrane of the Mountain Protection Array, as if crossing an invisible boundary.
"Screech—"
The moment the blood shadow hit the ground, his right hand abruptly withdrew from his sleeve, casting a spell, as sixteen two-finger-long Blood Pattern Nails shot out like venomous snakes freed from their bonds, whistling sharply through the air toward the surroundings.
The nail shafts shimmered with a dark red light like living creatures, their surfaces etched with barbed runes, continuously devouring the Spiritual Qi in the air as they flew, leaving twisted blood-colored fine lines in their trajectory.
"Thud, thud..."
Sixteen dull thuds sounded almost simultaneously, as the Blood Pattern Nails precisely pierced into the earth vein nodes at the array's four corners. These nodes were originally where the array pattern flowed most vigorously, but now the runes on the nails clamped tightly like venomous fangs piercing an artery.
"Buzz—"
The entire Mountain Protection Array emitted a painful hum, the pale blue light membrane visibly turning murky, and the array pattern, once flowing like a star river, began to dim inch by inch as if ink had contaminated clear water.
The most disheartening was the abrupt decline in the Spiritual Qi fluctuation on the light membrane, its power reduced by a full fifty percent!
Deep in the earth veins came a dull roar, the Spirit Plants on Piaomiao Peak drooped their leaves, and even several hundred-year-old ancient trees had branches and leaves turn yellow in an instant.
This demonstrated the overbearing nature of the Spirit-breaking Nails, which not only restrained arrays driven by spirit veins but could also reverse-extract the vitality from earth veins.
Hua Taixuan's pupils shrunk sharply, the spell mark between his fingers nearly faltered, as through the Array Banner, he could clearly feel the spiritual connection with the grand array becoming sluggish.
But as a Master Golden Core who had overseen the Qinghua Sect for centuries, his mind quickly stabilized after a moment of shock, his face remaining as calm as an ancient well without waves.
You'll never believe why I moved to… AntwerpMy life in emojis: ✈️, 🏄, 🍣, 🚵♂️
"Seven Wheels Turn, Divine Light Arise!"
With his low shout, the seven azure banners suspended around him simultaneously lit up.
The runes on the banner surfaces were no longer static engravings but transformed into countless azure-green tadpoles, swimming and colliding back and forth, each contact sparking tiny azure flames.
Seven flames soared into the sky, weaving into a palm-sized light net, which exploded to several dozen feet the moment it touched down, the net's eyes composed of countless small runes, their edges faintly glowing with gold light.
"Capture!"
The light net, like a living thing, reached toward the sixteen Blood Pattern Nails, the net eyes precisely ensnaring the nail shafts.
Just as the barbed runes were about to retaliate, they were firmly suppressed by the runes, emitting a sizzling scorching sound, like flesh burned by a branding iron.
"Rise!"
Hua Taixuan's arms suddenly lifted upward, causing the seven banners to tremble violently, the runes on the banners pouring out like mercury, infusing into the light net.
The light net tightened abruptly, the azure net lines wedging into the rune seams of the Blood Pattern Nails, forcibly uprooting those nails embedded in the earth veins!
The moment they were pulled out, a relieved rumble came from the earth veins, the light membrane of the Mountain Protection Array regaining its luster; although not fully restored to its peak, it had stabilized the decline.
"Clang—"
Sixteen Blood Pattern Nails were thrown onto open ground a hundred feet away, landing with a crisp sound.
Strangely, deprived of the earth veins' nourishment, their surfaces quickly lost their blood color, revealing a gray-white bony core.
The grim runes melted away like ice sculptures, eventually turning into a pile of porous bones that crumbled into dust with a light touch.
The Blood Refining Dharma King's grin froze at the sight of this scene:
"What?"
Hua Taixuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, inwardly grateful to his ancestors; indeed, the Seven Wheels and Seven Revolutions Divine Light Banner lived up to its reputation as one of the Three Treasures.
He manipulated it with a bloodline secret technique, rivaling a Tier Three Array Master, capable of fully unleashing the array's power.
Hua Taixuan did not give his opponent much time to ponder, as he swung the Seven Wheels and Seven Revolutions Divine Light Banner again.
This time, the runes on the banner were no longer in a defensive posture but transformed into countless azure lightning bolts, traversing along the array pattern veins, the entire Mountain Protection Array awakening like a gigantic beast, brewing an even more terrifying counterattack.
With his spell changes, bursts of thunder echoed within the array, countless purple lightning bolts as thick as bowls rained down from the sky, while the ground rose into one-zhang-high stone mountains, hurling towards the Blood Refining Dharma King.
