"Buzz!"
In mid-air, that blooming Azure Lotus turned leisurely, wisps of clear air rippling outwards. The spiritual birds, each capable of making even a Four Yuan Nirvana Realm expert pale in comparison, were silently erased beneath that clear air.
That sacred, inviolable, and noble Azure Lotus caused involuntary gasps of amazement to appear in the eyes of the Dao Sect disciples.
"Reee!"
However, at that moment, a Phoenix Cry that seemed to pierce the soul resounded throughout the entire plaza, startling everyone awake, and they turned their heads to look.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The divine bird phoenix, which had been circling in the high sky, stopped in mid-air. A pair of magnificent and sacred wings flapped continuously, causing gusts of wind to rise.
It seemed that the countless spiritual birds were blocked by that Azure Lotus, enraging the divine bird phoenix, the sovereign of flying feathers. After that Phoenix Cry, two clusters of crimson flames rose in the originally empty eyes of the divine bird phoenix.
The moment the crimson flames appeared, the temperature between heaven and earth suddenly rose by a large margin.
"Boom!"
Surging crimson flames spewed out from the eye sockets, and in the blink of an eye, they were rendered on the entire body of the divine bird. Immediately afterward, the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit streaked across the sky as a crimson meteor, flying towards that Azure Lotus, which was independent of the world and inviolable.
After the slender, fiery-red feathers streaked across the sky, there were still sporadic crimson sparks dripping down. The faces of some Dao Sect disciples who were stained by them changed slightly, and they quickly circulated Origin Power to suppress the sparks, while rapidly retreating to create distance.
"Buzz!!"
Perhaps sensing the immense power of the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit, the Azure Lotus also stopped rotating. The flower bud, which had already bloomed, completely bloomed. Immediately afterward, the outermost petals fell from the Azure Lotus, turning into several streams of light and shooting towards the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Streams of azure light streaked across the sky, but before they could get close to the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit, crimson flames suddenly emerged, engulfing the petals and eventually disappearing.
"Reee!"
The crimson divine bird phoenix cried out, and then flew fiercely towards the main body of the Azure Lotus. The Azure Lotus was unwilling to be outdone, and the pistil faced the divine bird, rotating and flying towards the phoenix.
In the sky, under the tense gazes of many Dao Sect disciples and several elite disciples of Taiqing Palace, one azure and one crimson, two rainbow lights sped rapidly, and finally collided with each other with a bang.
"Boom!"
Azure and crimson energy ripples surged towards the surroundings, but before they could completely dissipate, they were eliminated by an invisible force.
Ying Xuanzi raised his hand and gently pressed down, and an invisible space barrier enveloped the surroundings of the plaza, but his gaze was fixed on the crimson phoenix divine bird in the sky, and the Azure Lotus with its vast clear air.
The Taiqing Palace Master was also staring intently at the competition in the arena. She did not expect that Ying Huanhuan, who was not well-known in Dao Sect, would have such talent and comprehension, and could compete with Ling Qingzhu, who had cultivated the Supreme Induction Sutra, in the same realm.
"This Ling Qingzhu is truly terrifying. She can slightly suppress the Ice Master in the same realm. Tsk tsk, Lin Dong, you kid has to work hard!"
Looking at the Azure Lotus, which seemed to be suppressing the divine bird phoenix, Yan couldn't help but exclaim. Although he had previously placed Ling Qingzhu in third place, it was because no one had better talent than Ling Qingzhu, not because she was only slightly inferior to the Ice Master.
But now it seems that this third place is not because she is stronger than everyone else except those two, but because the only people whose talent can be stronger than her are the Sword Saint and the Ice Master.
"But I think Huan Huan Senior Sister should win."
After hearing Yan's words, Lin Dong frowned slightly and responded in his heart. Yan asked in confusion.
"Why? Right now, the Ice Master is at a disadvantage. Although she is the Ice Master, she has not yet recovered. Being able to reach this level is already amazing enough. After all, her opponent is the only person besides the Sword Saint who has cultivated the Supreme Induction Sutra!"
"I don't know, just a feeling!"
Lin Dong's reply made Yan want to mock him for daring to refute the dignified Ancestral Stone Spirit, but then he heard a voice from the side.
"This round, Miss Huan Huan is going to win!"
Lin Xuan's answer made Lin Dong, Ying Xuanzi, and the others couldn't help but look at him. However, Lin Xuan had no intention of explaining, but instead stared intently at Ling Qingzhu, wanting to see how Ling Qingzhu would respond.
Hundred Birds Worshiping the Phoenix, from the moment Ying Huanhuan played it, Lin Xuan knew that she had comprehended a trace of the Nirvana True Meaning of the phoenix's desire for rebirth, but Lin Xuan couldn't see through Ling Qingzhu's use of the Supreme Induction Sutra. After all, the two people's understanding and use of the Supreme Force were completely different.
"Buzz!"
In a stunned gaze, the Azure Lotus slowly rotated, and streams of pure energy continuously impacted, actually causing the phantom of the divine bird phoenix to become increasingly illusory.
Subsequently, within that pure energy, the sacred and noble Heavenly Phoenix Spirit actually collapsed with a bang, turning into scarlet spiritual energy.
"This!"
The power of that Azure Lotus was beyond the expectations of countless Dao Sect disciples. Unexpectedly, the divine bird phoenix, which was enough to put great pressure on a Six Yuan Nirvana Realm expert, was crushed by that seemingly weak Azure Lotus.
But the next moment, everyone's eyes widened once again.
It could be seen that the scarlet spiritual energy that had been crushed by the Azure Lotus did not dissipate, but insteadbecame entangled that Azure Lotus. Immediately afterward, all the scarlet spiritual energy suddenly turned into scarlet flames, burning the Azure Lotus.
Ling Qingzhu's pupils shrank, and her clear eyes slightly shifted, focusing her gaze on Ying Huanhuan on the opposite side. Whether it was telepathy or not, at the same time that Ling Qingzhu looked over, Ying Huanhuan also looked at Ling Qingzhu.
Meeting her opponent's gaze, Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but reveal a few traces of pride in her eyes. When Ling Qingzhu saw this, a touch of arrogance also rose in her eyes. She, Ling Qingzhu, had never lost to anyone other than that man!
The moment the two gazes met in the air, the hostility of tit-for-tat was very obvious even to the Dao Sect and Taiqing Palace disciples outside the arena.
Subconsciously, the gazes of the disciples all shifted to the white-robed, silver-haired figure sitting below the two Sect Leaders.
Looking at the young man who remained calm in the face of the Young Palace Master of the Taiqing Palace and the beloved daughter of the Dao Sect Leader fighting over him, many people couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh inwardly. The Sword Saint was indeed the Sword Saint, able to remain calm in the face of the pursuit of two such outstanding daughters of heaven.
However, at this time, Lin Xuan focused all of his attention on Ling Qingzhu. He had a feeling that Ling Qingzhu's use of the Supreme Force would definitely exceed his expectations.
Under Lin Xuan's gaze, Ling Qingzhu snorted softly, her clear eyes raised, looking at the 'Azure Lotus' that had been completely covered by scarlet flames. Vaguely, in the middle of the lotus stamen, there was also a scarlet divine bird figure slowly taking shape.
"Phoenix Nirvana?"
After muttering in a low voice, in Ling Qingzhu's clear eyes, wisps of pure white light quietly surged. At the same time, the Taiqing Sword in her hand slowly rose, and a special aura was released from Ling Qingzhu's body.
That aura was not the kind of intense pressure, but under that aura, the power surging between heaven and earth seemed to have a feeling of submission.
Feeling the aura emanating from Ling Qingzhu's body, Ying Xuanzi's expression turned serious, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes. Even the Taiqing Palace Master, who had cultivated the Supreme Induction Sutra, was shocked by Ling Qingzhu's methods.
"Hiss!!!! I originally thought that I had already thought highly of her, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated her. She has actually begun God Merging with Heaven and Earth!"
Yan suddenly took a deep breath of cold air, and after a long while, he muttered to himself, which made Lin Dong feel a burst of confusion.
"God Merging with Heaven and Earth? What does that mean?"
"Let me put it this way, I'm ranked second, and the first guy is called the Plane of Origin. By controlling the Plane of Origin, you can control the entire Tianxuan Continent, just like the Sword Saint in the Ancient Space before. The reason why the Plane of Origin is so strong is that after controlling it, you can merge your body and soul with this world. I am the world, understand?"
Looking at Ling Qingzhu, Yan couldn't help but turn his gaze to Lin Xuan, with a look of pity in his eyes, shaking his head and said.
"This Ling Qingzhu, after refining the Supreme Force, is taking the path of God Merging with Heaven and Earth. If she can really do it completely, she can refine the Plane of Origin. As for the Sword Saint, this guy is even more of a monster. Before he refined the Supreme Force, he had already embarked on the path of Body Merging with Heaven and Earth. It's a pity, if the two of them could combine, they might be able to find the Plane of Origin!"
If Lin Xuan was listening to Yan and Lin Dong's conversation at this moment, then he would definitely give partial approval, because he also felt that Ling Qingzhu's talent really exceeded his expectations, and was a thousand times stronger than him.
Compared with Ling Qingzhu, Lin Xuan's use of the Supreme Force was much more forceful. When he was in the Ancient Space before, he let the power of heaven and earth be added to his body, and then used the Supreme Force to make it submit, forcibly controlling that vast power to exert sufficient strength.
Lin Xuan's method required the physical body to be strong enough to contain the power of heaven and earth, while Ling Qingzhu was the opposite. She had a feeling of using heaven and earth as her own body, using her soul to control the power of heaven and earth. Of course, this put a lot of pressure on the soul.
The two were opposite paths, but in the end, they both led to the same destination.
Therefore, when Lin Xuan saw Ling Qingzhu's use of the Supreme Force, he was quite touched after his exclamation. In his eyes, there seemed to be a special pure white energy gathering.
"Screech!!"
At this moment, a clear Phoenix Cry sounded again from the stamen in the middle of the 'scarlet lotus'. Then, the huge Divine Bird Phoenix flapped its wings and flew high again, its momentum was a bit stronger than before, and the lotus flower seemed to have been drained of its nutrients, and quickly withered and withered.
After the Phoenix cried out, it flapped its scarlet wings, carrying a more powerful flame power, and attacked Ling Qingzhu.
The fierce wind blew up the long belt around the waist of the woman in the plain skirt. The next moment, Ling Qingzhu raised her head, her beautiful eyes stared directly at the Phoenix eyes with flames rising, and her toes lightly tapped, her whole person turned into a stream of clear light, heading straight for the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit.
There was not too much terrifying aura on the long Sword, but as Ling Qingzhu approached, a huge pressure directly fell on the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit. Immediately afterwards, the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit let out a wail, seemingly with fear.
The girl sitting cross-legged in front of the scarlet ancient zither looked at the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit who seemed a little afraid, a stubborn look flashed in her agile beautiful eyes, her silver teeth clenched, and then, her ten fingers kept plucking on the strings.
The melodious sound of the zither echoed in the square, and red sound waves gradually gathered into a huge ancient tree flashing with scarlet streamers on the square.
"Phoenix Perches on the Wutong Tree, Rosy Clouds Fill the Sky!"
Ying Huanhuan's hands quickly plucked on the strings. There were already faint traces of blood on her originally delicate fingers, and there was a bit more ice-blue color in her eyes.
As the scarlet Wutong Tree grew out, the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit, which felt frightened, also landed directly on the Wutong, its scarlet light flourished, turning into a red glow, and swept towards the clear light that followed closely.
In the scarlet glow, Ling Qingzhu, whose clear eyes were staring straight at Ying Huanhuan, narrowed her eyes slightly. This time, she felt it more clearly. Ying Huanhuan's aura was a little different.
At the moment, Ling Qingzhu, who had already used all her strength, gritted her teeth again, and a wave of invisible power of heaven and earth pressed towards the glow barrier in front of her, causing the glow barrier propped up by the Heavenly Phoenix Spirit to slowly shrink again, making Ying Huanhuan even more anxious.
If she lost to Ling Qingzhu at a different realm, Ying Huanhuan would not be so unwilling, but she would not be so strong, after all, her cultivation time was indeed shorter.
But now it was the same realm, she, Ying Huanhuan, could lose to anyone except the Yuan Gate disciples, but she must not lose to the woman in front of her!
Ying Huanhuan, who kept playing with both hands, only felt that there was a force in her body that was constantly surging, making her...
A pair of dark eyes suddenly appeared in front of Ying Huanhuan, and then, Ying Huanhuan felt a big hand pressing on the strings of the Heavenly Phoenix Zither.
Looking at the face without much expression in front of her, Ying Huanhuan did not know why, the spirit of not admitting defeat just now disappeared in an instant, and the whole person became much more obedient. At the same time, the huge force was gradually suppressed.
