201: Prompt appears again

The final top-four showdown did not begin immediately. Not only Lin Shiming, but even Chen Yuan, had consumed a significant amount of true Qi when facing his opponents.

Both needed to recover, but since their injuries weren't severe, the final battle was scheduled for the next day.

Moreover, the other seven Cultivators who had attained Enlightenment would also be present during the final battle.

Only two would emerge victorious and proceed to the Enlightenment Platform.

Time was extremely tight.

Lin Shiming rested for a day. During this time, Lin Houyuan and Xie An both cheered Lin Shiming on. Surprisingly, Zi Xuan Sanren also came again to visit him.

Finally, he even prepared another top-grade Tier 3 defensive Spirit Talisman for him.

Lin Shiming accepted it with extreme gratitude.

After a night of recovery, Lin Shiming finally returned to his Peak state.

Returning to the beast-fighting arena, the number of spectators today was even greater.

Of course, besides watching the final battle of the four, many Cultivators also came to see the Cultivators who had been guaranteed a spot in the Enlightenment.

These Cultivators were the true geniuses of Zhao Country's Three Sects. Once they matured, they were almost guaranteed to reach Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, and could even be considered half a Purple Mansion Immortal Master.

Among the seven guaranteed individuals, three were from the Spirit Beast Sect, and two each from the Qingxuan Sect and the Spirit Talisman Sect.

However, the Spirit Talisman Sect's Cultivators looked displeased this time. In previous grand competitions, the Spirit Talisman Sect would at least have one person in the top four, but this time, Xu Hao was unexpectedly eliminated early by Lin Shiming, becoming a mere spectator.

Amidst Loose Immortal San Ye's announcement, Lin Shiming and Chen Yuan each ascended the beast-fighting platform.

Chen Yuan was still wearing the Spirit Beast Sect's beast-patterned Daoist robe. As he entered the arena, he immediately released four exotic beasts: two Late Stage Tier 3 Spirit Beasts and two Middle Stage Tier 3 Spirit Beasts.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but feel a little envious. He had a Golden Winged Mantis and a Red-haired Demon Monkey, so he naturally understood how rare it was for four Yao Beasts to reach such a level, and the resources consumed were truly massive.

Chen Yuan's Spirit Beasts were also meticulously chosen: two Late Stage Tier 3 Spirit Beasts, a Golden Feathered Eagle and a Thunder Jade Rhinoceros, plus two Middle Stage Tier 3 Howling Moon Wolves.

He had both agile and defensive Spirit Beasts, and each Spirit Beast was majestic and extraordinary, clearly not ordinary Spirit Beasts.

Seeing this, Lin Shiming also released his Red-haired Demon Monkey and Golden Winged Mantis.

This time, he did not plan to ambush. The Golden Winged Mantis's ambush would either kill or severely injure, making it unsuitable for an ambush with the Azure Lotus Daoist Robe.

Instead, it was better to use it to restrain the Golden Feathered Eagle.

"A mutated Six-Winged Sky Mantis?" Chen Yuan hadn't expected Lin Shiming to also be half a beast tamer, and even possess a Six-Winged Sky Mantis, ranked eighty-ninth on the Heaven and Earth Leaderboard.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is not being honest!" However, the next moment, seeing Lin Shiming silently infusing Qi into a spirit plant seed, Chen Yuan sneered and spoke.

Then, the Golden Feathered Eagle behind him charged out first, followed by the Howling Moon Wolves, one on each side. The Thunder Jade Rhinoceros, however, remained in place, protecting Chen Yuan.

"Go!" Lin Shiming did not reply. Seeing Chen Yuan make the first move, he also commanded his two beasts to charge out one after another.

He had no psychological burden regarding Qi infusion. Chen Yuan not only had more Spirit Beasts than him, but his cultivation was also stronger, and he definitely had many Magic Treasures. Moreover, Chen Yuan's Divine Sense was definitely stronger than his. He didn't believe that a Spirit Beast Sect Cultivator wouldn't have methods to train their Divine Sense, so he naturally dared not hold back anything.

As the Golden Winged Mantis flew out, the Red-haired Demon Monkey also roared and rushed forward.

The Golden Winged Mantis confronted the Golden Feathered Eagle, while the Red-haired Demon Monkey smashed towards the two Howling Moon Wolves.

To everyone's surprise, the Golden Winged Mantis's speed was subtly not inferior to the Golden Feathered Eagle. Furthermore, it had two extremely sharp scythe-like forelegs, cutting out golden lights in the air one after another. The Golden Feathered Eagle felt somewhat constrained, constantly screeching in anger, only feeling itself being pulled far away, and dared not charge forward to grab the Golden Winged Mantis with its claws.

The Red-haired Demon Monkey, however, was under considerable pressure facing the two wolf kings. Wielding the Crimson Flame Fire Staff, it constantly struck the Howling Moon Wolves, while simultaneously throwing out the Profound Spirit Mountain in its hand.

However, the two Howling Moon Wolves dodged it. It was only when the Crimson Flame Fire Staff was ignited by the exotic fire that the situation wasn't so bleak, but it was clearly suppressed by the two Howling Moon Wolves.

As for the Thunder Jade Rhinoceros, its single horn suddenly flashed, and then bolts of lightning struck Lin Shiming from the air.

The star wood shield immediately unfolded. The lightning struck the wooden shield, and the starlight dispersed, stirring up wisps of green smoke.

At the same time, Lin Shiming's formation swords also slashed through the air. This time, there were four small Purple Wood Mysterious Sky Sword Formations!

At this moment, many Cultivators from the Qingxuan Sect were somewhat dumbfounded. They naturally knew about the Purple Wood Mysterious Sky Sword Formation, and many Cultivators practiced it. However, other people's sword formations could not exceed their own tier, and their quantity was nowhere near as many as Lin Shiming's.

Even Zi Xuan Sanren in the distance had a flicker in his eyes. Lin Shiming, seeing this, felt a little helpless.

If he concealed his sword formation, he would inevitably fail. At this moment, he could only hope that Zi Xuan Sanren would not hold him accountable for his previous concealment.

As soon as the four sword formations appeared, Chen Yuan also took out five bronze ring Magical Artifacts.

Each bronze ring was embroidered with strange beast patterns. As the five bronze rings charged out, they transformed into five true beast spirits, pouncing towards Lin Shiming.

These five bronze rings were clearly a set of top-grade Magical Artifacts. Each ring was a top-grade Magical Artifact, and as a set, their spiritual power greatly increased.

Lin Shiming's four sets of sword formations were subtly unable to contend, so he had to take out the Zilai Sword again.

The Zilai Sword grew larger against the wind, like a purple scorching sun, its Sword Qi unparalleled.

The spiritual power of the top-grade Magic Sword was also stimulated to its extreme, once again pushing the bronze rings into a disadvantage.

Then, his other hand suddenly formed a hand seal. The seeds, which had been scattered at some unknown point, began to instantly catalyze. Countless Purple Gold Vines rushed out, binding the two Howling Moon Wolves.

At this moment, Chen Yuan had not expected Lin Shiming to attack the two Howling Moon Wolves. Not a single one escaped, and the Red-haired Demon Monkey's fierce power instantly surged. The Crimson Flame Fire Staff in its hand was instantly covered by exotic fire. Having been suppressed throughout the entire fight, it was already filled with towering rage.

The next moment, Chen Yuan suddenly leaped onto the Thunder Jade Rhinoceros. At his previous position, countless golden spirit spears shot out, instantly engulfing his spot.

And on the surface of the jade rhinoceros, a layer of spiritual shield was once again activated. At the same time, Chen Yuan also tore off a Spirit Talisman, forming a blue water shield to block the golden spirit spears.

This series of attacks happened in a flash, wave after wave, leaving Chen Yuan somewhat overwhelmed.

Chen Yuan frowned slightly. The next moment, he took out a set of twelve silver needles. This set of silver needles was not for hidden attacks; he couldn't hide them. Being suppressed everywhere, he had to break the stalemate now.

Most importantly, he felt Lin Shiming infusing Qi again. This time, the seed infusion took longer, which also meant greater power.

It was precisely the Poison Flood Dragon Vine seeds.

However, the next moment, Lin Shiming's System prompt suddenly sounded:

"Please be aware of an ambush by a Demon Sect Cultivator after your victory!!!"
