Above the cloud, the wind howled.
Both Zi Linglong and Xi Yao were standing opposite each other. The aura they exuded was so powerful it seemed as if a barrier had appeared around them, causing the wind to be repelled a hundred meters away.
“I have the Cold Moon Body, and my greatest wish is to comprehend the Dao of Extreme Yin, but it’s a near-impossible feat,” Xi Yao said.
Snowflakes began to appear on her left and ripples on her right. There were stars on top of her head, and a crescent moon was taking shape behind her back. She looked just like a goddess from heaven.
“I’ve comprehended the Frost Sambodha, the Moon Sambodha, the Stellar Sambodha, and the Water Sambodha. Even though I have formed the corresponding Dao Seeds, I didn’t stop. I want to break the boundary and ascend to a higher level, yet I have no clue how to do it! After seeing that you’ve comprehended that Dao of Yang, which happens to be my weakness, I’m thinking of borrowing your hands to push me to the limit so that I can realize my potential!”
“I’m comprehending the Dao of Extreme Yin as well, and this is a good opportunity for both of us to share our knowledge!” Zi Linglong did not use her weapon, yet there were different kinds of fires such as the wood fire, the stone fire, the thunder fire, and the hell fire behind her back.
They started the fight without saying anything.
Freezing ice and blazing fire were raging through the sky. The exchange between the two was not intense, but rather, it was quite entertaining. They performed all sorts of special abilities and Dao rhythms that they knew. On top of that, both were stunningly gorgeous, and the way they moved in the sky gave people the impression they were dancing. Therefore, it was difficult for people to look at them without being immersed in them.
On Chuyang Peak, Jiang Ming and the other two felt proud of Zi Linglong after seeing her slaying Tan Hao and fighting toe-to-toe with Xi Yao.
“Zi Linglong’s so young, yet she has already ascended into the Dao Seed Realm. Not only that, but she has also comprehended the Dao of Yang and can hold herself against Xi Yao, a Holy Daughter. She’s truly exceptional, and I can say that she’s even better than Tian Ci!” Old Tie said, his eyes glowing with delight and admiration.
“Judging from her actions and her words, I can see that she’s a determined and firm-minded young woman. It’s going to be very hard to convince her to join the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion.”
“Yeah, you’re right.” Qing Fengzi added, “At her current level, unless those old monsters come out of their seclusion, she can go wherever she wishes. Besides, she has a firm mind, so she will not abandon her sect.”
He paused for a moment before continuing. “It’s widely recognized that Tian Ci is an Immortal Fetus. Upon his birth, an anomaly occurred. He contains an immense amount of power, and he’s a force to be reckoned with, yet even a person as great as him pales in comparison with Zi Linglong. Generally speaking, an immature young girl like her shouldn’t be able to have such a great achievement. I wonder how she did it…”
“Have you forgotten that she has the phoenix bloodline?” Old Tie chimed in. “I can sense the massive and terrifying fire power in her. Even I couldn’t help but feel a chill down my spine. Perhaps, she is the direct descendant of a human and phoenix, so she has inherited the knowledge through her bloodline. After all, she can control fire with a shocking degree of precision. There aren’t many of them that can rival this special ability in the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion. Therefore, I’m almost certain that she inherited the ability through her bloodline!”
Jiang Ming, who was sitting beside Old Tie, raised his brows when he heard what he said.
He knew his Junior Sister was a human, but at the same time, he felt everything Old Tie said made sense.
The fight lasted for a long while, and it ended with Xi Yao’s defeat. She gracefully accepted her defeat.
In the next few days, many people came to challenge Zi Linglong.
However, none of them behaved like Tan Hao. All of them had brought some extreme Yin objects with them, and they all were defeated by Zi Linglong.
This was very shocking as nobody expected that Zi Linglong, who came from a second-rate sect, would be this powerful.
The weakest opponent she came across was a genius as well, while the others were Holy Sons or Holy Daughters. It was truly shocking that she could defeat all of them.
For example, Lin Han was best known for his Mystic Ice Body. He wielded the power of ice that could freeze everything, and he had a powerful and terrifying physical body. As the Holy Son of the Qingyun Sect, he was a powerful being, yet he was defeated by Zi Linglong.
Another example would be Mo Lin. He activated Dark Devil Body right off the bat and revealed himself as the Holy Son of the Yinmo Sect. Although many people were shocked, none of them went after him.
He shared the same fate as Lin Han and got defeated by Zi Linglong.
More and more people were coming to Reception Peak. Even Zhou Tian, the 18th Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty had come as well.
Unfortunately, Zi Linglong made quick work of all of them.
The only one who hadn’t challenged Zi Linglong was Tian Ci.
“Here’s an Extreme Yin Black Water Stone. It’s an extreme Yin precious item. I’ll give it to you as a gift, Junior Sister Linglong!” Tian Ci came forward and flipped his palm upward. A silver crystal stone appeared on his palm. For a moment, chilly and eerie energy filled the air and froze the akasa.
“No!” Zi Linglong declined, and her aura surged forward like an unsheathed sword.
Everyone in the surroundings could sense her terrifying aura and her confidence. After all, she had defeated multiple geniuses in a row, and it was only right and natural for her to be so confident with herself.
“This is a bet!” Zi Linglong said as she flew into the sky, “After you!”
“Alright, then!” Tian Ci threw the Extreme Yin Black Water Stone next to the Sun Stone. As soon as he finished talking, darkness began to gather around his feet while a halo of light appeared on top of his head as he slowly rose into the air. Once he stood in front of Zi Linglong, he said, “I never expected that I would run into a genius like you before I came to Eastern Region. I’m sure this will be a fun match.”
“Let’s start now!” Zi Linglong summoned her sword. It was a crimson Dao sword.
“Here I come!” Tian Ci said as he frowned.
Boom!
An explosion echoed, signaling the fight had started.
This time, everyone fixed their eyes on the match.
Tian Ci had defeated most of the geniuses in Zhong Province. He was widely recognized as the Senior Brother, and he was abnormally strong. He was now facing off a new rising star who had proved herself to be a formidable opponent.
Everyone was wondering who would be the winner of this match in the end.
“As expected of the Immortal Fetus. Casting those special abilities is a piece of cake for him. He can defeat a martial artist in the Nascent Soul Realm and can fight toe-to-toe with a martial artist in the Primal Spirit Realm!” exclaimed Old Tie. “And he hasn’t gone all out yet!”
“Yeah, this isn’t his limit yet.” Qing Fengzi nodded. “At the same time, it shows how powerful Linglong is!”
“Remarkable! She’s only in her teenage years, yet she’s already this powerful!” Old Tie exclaimed again. Suddenly, his eyes gleamed, and he shouted, “Look, he’s going to unleash the power of an Immortal Fetus!”
“Maybe this is our chance!” Qing Fengzi’s eyes lit up.
After that, both activated their divine eyes as they attempted to peer into the true mysteries of the Immortal Fetus.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the sky trembled, and multiple rays of light rained down.
They then saw Tian Ci slowly descending from the sky while divine light gathered around him. A divine voice sounded out of his body, and an illusory door that seemed to be able to communicate with the Immortal Realm and bring down the power of creation had appeared behind him.
His aura had surged to a shocking degree as well. He could amass the power of the universe in his palm with a single wave of his hand. The sky seemed to have fallen, causing the people below to have a hard time breathing while they stared at him in shock.
“Terrific!” The Sect Master of the Jiuyang Sect exclaimed when he sensed the power from the akasa. “Is it really the power of a martial artist in the Dao Seed Realm? Not even I have the confidence that I can stop it!”
Gu Hai and the others were taken aback as well.
However, when they saw the flame behind Zi Linglong had turned into a phoenix and intercepted the attack, their expression changed again. Their eyes glowed with astonishment.
While watching the fight intently, Jiang Ming thought, ‘As expected of an Immortal Fetus. He’s truly powerful, and I doubt I can kill him in his current state.’
Rumble!
The air was vibrating, and the sun dimmed.
“Immortals from the past, come forth and share with me your power!” Tian Ci chanted the incantation. He pointed one of his palms upward while the other downward. He then clapped his palms together, and light began to descend from above while darkness rose from below.
“Light and dark barrier!”
He had created a domain around them.
“Junior Sister Linglong, this is my ultimate skill, the combination of light and darkness. Once the barrier is formed, everything within it will be sealed away,” said Tian Ci.
Unexpectedly, his expression changed before he could heave a sigh of relief.
Screech!
The screech of the phoenix reverberated across the sky, and it reminded him of a legend. When a phoenix screeched, all birds would submit to it.
In the next second, Zi Linglong created a phoenix talon with her hand and shattered the barrier.
She then stepped on Tian Ci’s face and kicked him down to the ground..
