they never intended for us to live and leave. With murderous intent in her heart, she naturally wouldn't show mercy. Now, it's unclear how long it has been since they left, but we fear that after all...[]

Invisible cold air surrounded the Dihuang Sword, layer upon layer. A tangible Dihuang phantom quietly revolved around the sword.

The air pressure builds layer upon layer.

A gigantic seal suddenly descended from the sky.

Emperor Phoenix Seal - First Layer!

A massive azure square instantly landed atop the raging flames.

The four-sided seal looked like it was carved from ice crystals. In the air, it had a semi-transparent appearance. When light refracted through it, the patterns at different angles were all unique, yet they could all be clearly seen as lifelike frost lines.

In each of the four corners of the Siji Yin, a semi-transparent ice phoenix dances. Its head and tail interlock, its eyes gleaming with cold arrogance.

The first wave of flames fell, and the raging inferno was suppressed by three inches.

Lin Qi's face was expressionless as she muttered incantations, her internal energy flowing like an inexhaustible well.

The second printing is out!

The Emperor Phoenix Seal deepened in color, and the swirling ice phoenix's aura instantly surged, suppressing most of the flames. Even the surface of the rolling magma was covered with layers of frost.

Two forces were pushing against each other, but the pressure from the Emperor Phoenix Seal was increasing relentlessly.

Lin Yun's異fire danced wildly, attempting to shatter the Dihuang Seal and devour the entwining Binghuang.

Lin Qi silently cast the third seal.

The original leaping flames were instantly extinguished, and frost like water flowed instantaneously throughout the fiery world.

In the blink of an eye, we went from a sea of fire to an ice-bound world.

The collision of ice and fire, two forces gnawing at each other, neither willing to yield.

Sometimes flames break through the ice, gaining the upper hand; at other times, frost suppresses the flames, shrouding the magma and gaining the upper hand.

But as time went on, Lin Qi's problem of lacking spiritual energy became apparent.

After all, she was only a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator. Her journey had been arduous, and her dantian's spiritual energy was almost depleted.

Although Lin Yun's cultivation was forcibly elevated, he was still a Great Ascension cultivator.

The gap between Linghai and a half-step Nascent Soul is not insignificant.

Frost cracked open, flames roared back to life, and the air temperature climbed steadily.

Seeing that she was about to lose, Lin Qi swallowed all the collected spirit veins she had gathered, frantically accumulating power within her body.

After leaving the Hall of Inheritance, Lin Qi knew that the Emperor Phoenix Seal had nine layers. Each layer stacked upon the previous one, increasing its power exponentially but also its difficulty.

Lin Qi hasn't had much time to focus on cultivation lately, and has been stuck at the third level of the Emperor Phoenix Seal.

This time, she's going all out against Lin Yun. She wants to try using the Four Emperor Phoenix Seals.

The success or failure of the Four Emperors Phoenix Seal also decided the success or failure of this battle.

Lin Qi took a deep breath, his hands forming intricate seals with uncanny speed. He greedily absorbed the spiritual energy swirling around him like a madman possessed.

The Emperor's Mark above the void seemed to grow deeper, like the condensation of millennia of frost. A chilling air almost materialized.

Lin Yun seemed to have sensed something was amiss and didn't want to give Lin Qi an opportunity to retaliate. His eyes narrowed, and his hands formed seals.

The sealed ice fire began to jump, layer upon layer, colliding and breaking through the thick ice peaks. The flames surged instantly, spreading across the ice like wildfire.

And the Suzaku, whose teeth were bared by the Emperor's Phoenix, condensed again. This time it was even larger than before, and its aura was twice as strong.

Vermilion flames roared as Suzaku's fiery wings plummeted downwards, its target clear: Lin Qi.

From afar, Lin Qi felt as though flames were licking at her cheeks and body, scorching her skin with a searing pain.

It's scorching hot, like it's going to burn your skin alive.

Lin Qi remained calm as she manipulated her spiritual energy, a chill spreading around her that gradually suppressed the raging fire wave.

Meanwhile, a sword shadow flashed across the sky, its blade light intertwining with flames.

This is the sword of deer slaying!

The blade, razor-sharp and unforgiving, pressed against Lin Qi's brow, poised to end her life.

As Lu Shajian drew closer step by step, Lin Qi finally managed to finish his final inscription.

At this moment, her back was already charred black by the flames, flesh and blood mangled.

When the fourth imprint fell, the power of the Imperial Phoenix Seal multiplied fourfold in place, shaking heaven and earth.

The pressure emanating from him felt much heavier, stifling the air and making it hard to breathe.

The clouds above were constantly changing.

The four-headed ice phoenix's body became increasingly solid and lifelike, as if it would burst out of the Emperor Phoenix Seal's confines and attack any moment.

The volume of the Four Symbols Seal was expanding crazily, and the lines on its surface became clearer, as if they were being imbued with life, flowing silently and gradually widening their range, encompassing the entire volcanic region.

A crisp phoenix cry echoed through the nine heavens.

Something exploded silently above my head.

The sword, which was pointing straight at Lin Qi's eyebrows, suddenly stopped.

In the next instant, the Lu Sha Jian was encased in ice!

In the blink of an eye, the fiery Suzaku was crushed by the massive Di Huang Seal.

Only to hear Zhuque let out a mournful cry, its body crashing heavily onto the ground, only to be crushed into five pieces by tangible cold air.

Lin Yun, standing amidst the ethereal clouds, was bound by a divine connection with the soul of Suzaku.

Zhuque was injured, and she couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood.

When she lifted her head again, she found a bone-chilling cold and an oppressive weight bearing down on her, making it difficult for her to straighten her back.

The ice encasing Lu Sha's body grew thicker and heavier, the Blazing Vermilion Bird fractured into pieces, layers of frost and frigid air enveloped everything.

Even the once raging elemental fires were now trembling under the biting cold, struggling in vain against being encased in ice once more.

When the frost crept up Lin Yun's legs, there was no flame within his sight, not even a trace of fire spirit energy.

Lin Qi's eyes slowly converged, falling on Lin Yun's brow.

A murderous intent, as sharp as a sword, condensed automatically in his palm.

Lin Qi's aura instantly surged, becoming razor-sharp.

At this moment, she was a sword drawn from its sheath.

As wings flap and blades unsheathe, a chill radiates, shaking the world in its path. All things tremble before this icy might.

A killing intent, merging with frost, pierced through thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

A streak of blood splattered on the ice.

Lin Qi held the Di Huang Sword in one hand and the Zh Shen Dao in the other. Her figure brushed past Lin Yun, calm and collected, her eyes cold and emotionless.

As soon as his foot touched the ground, Lin Yun's body crashed down, landing heavily on the icy surface. His crimson blood mingled with the ice and froze instantly.

She glared with a pair of wide, unblinking eyes, a single bloody gash across her brow particularly striking.

Lin Qi's sword spun for a moment, the tip pointing downwards.

Lin Yun's body, frozen into an ice sculpture, shattered instantly into thousands of shards of ice.

Now even if Heaven itself came, it wouldn't be able to put Lin Yun's body back together.

Lin Yun is truly dead this time!

From afar, Rong Shi atop the platform saw Lin Qi's merciless disposal of the body, a shiver running down his spine.

If he hadn't planned carefully, it would have been his own end today! Lin Qi could easily have reduced him to dust!

When Lin Qi deployed the fourth level of the Imperial Phoenix Seal, Rong Shi already knew his position, and was even more shocked by Lin Qi's potential.

At such a young age, he can already wield the fourth Emperor Phoenix Seal… If he had chosen Lin Qi instead, how could he not return to the Upper Realm and ascend to the pinnacle again!

One wrong step, and every subsequent step goes astray!

Fortunately, Lin Yun walked towards his demise, he did not!, spitting blood and flying out.She fell into the deep snow pit, her expression unchanged, her hands flying as she cast spells.The massive figure of the nine-tailed snow fox suddenly ran.It was huge a...
