Since you're already here, don't leave!

At the same time, in Black Stone City, Tingfeng Courtyard.

Just as the great battle in the Broken Cliff Mountain Range erupted, the operation of the Heavenly Stars Formation in Tingfeng Courtyard, which was as solid as a fortress, showed a slight, almost imperceptible stagnation in its circulating starlight.

A phantom figure, almost merged with space, held an ancient mirror that continuously emitted mysterious fluctuations. Facing the Formation's light barrier, the faint light shot from the mirror was silently dissolving the power of the Formation.

A moment later, she silently penetrated through layers of the Formation's light barrier, descending into the courtyard like a ghost.

The person who arrived was none other than Situ Piaomiao's true body, who should have been thousands of miles away, presiding over the encirclement and kill!

Her cold gaze pierced through the courtyard, instantly locking onto the figure sitting cross-legged in the Quiet Room, seemingly unaware of the outside world.

A cold, confident sneer curled at the corner of her mouth.

"Lin Yuan, your death is nigh."

Inside the Quiet Room, Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly snapped open, his heart tightening.

He formed a Hand Seal, and the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array suddenly began to operate, with streaks of starlight spreading out. Although this Formation had ordinary lethality, its binding power was extremely strong; Xiong Kaishan was trapped to death by it last time.

Situ Piaomiao sneered. The ancient small mirror in her palm burst forth with light, emitting invisible ripples that actually dissolved the sky full of starlight.

Lin Yuan's eyes showed surprise; he knew his own Formation well. This small mirror could actually break it: "Breaking Formation Xuan Guang Mirror?"

"Since you recognize this treasure, then accept your death in peace!" Situ Piaomiao snorted coldly, her killing intent fully revealed.

This treasure was not an ordinary Magic Treasure but an Ancient Treasure passed down through generations of the Misty Immortal Sect, renowned throughout the entire Eastern Domain.

So-called Ancient Treasures were refined by ancient Cultivators; their Divine Abilities might be singular, but their power was astonishingly great.

Just like this Breaking Formation Xuan Guang Mirror, once activated, it could dissolve the Restriction power of most Formations, though the consumption of the user's own magic power was equally terrifying.

Before her words finished, Situ Piaomiao pointed her fingers like a sword, and a sword light, thin as silk yet containing terrifying annihilation intent, silently tore through the air, piercing straight towards Lin Yuan's glabella!

Lin Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a needle tip, and a cold shadow of death instantly enveloped his entire body.

To clash head-on with a Middle Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator? He wasn't that desperate.

"Youhun!"

A dark shadow suddenly appeared, spreading its bony arms and fearlessly blocking in front of him. It was none other than the Undying Bone, Youhun, comparable to a Middle Core Formation Stage Cultivator!

However, Situ Piaomiao's sword strike contained the power of her Annihilation dao seed, cultivated over many years, which specifically countered Divine Souls and malevolent entities! Youhun's indestructible bones were as fragile as decaying wood before this sword!

"Chila!"

The sword light flashed past, and Youhun's entire arm bone, along with half of its body, was completely annihilated by the Annihilation intent the moment of contact, dissolving into the tiniest particles!

The black figure let out a silent wail from the depths of its soul fire, flying backward heavily, its aura extremely weak.

One move, near death!

Lin Yuan's heart bled, but his face showed no ripple. Using the fleeting moment Youhun bought him, he slapped his Storage Pouch at his waist, a savage madness appearing on his face.

With a furious roar from him, a violent, unparalleled golden figure appeared out of thin air within the already cramped Quiet Room!

"Roar—!"

The deafening roar, accompanied by monstrous ferocity, almost tore the roof of the entire Tingfeng Courtyard off!

It was Xiong Kaishan's Natal Spirit Beast, the Golden Qilin Beast, whose strength was comparable to an Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!

The moment Lin Yuan released the Golden Qilin Beast, he flicked his long sleeve, and the starlight of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array immediately enveloped him, completely concealing his figure amidst the shifting light and shadows.

As soon as the Golden Qilin Beast appeared, its gaze swept around, landing on Situ Piaomiao. Its massive body, carrying the immense force capable of tearing the earth, lunged towards Situ Piaomiao!

"Evil beast!"

Situ Piaomiao's face changed dramatically; she clearly hadn't expected that Lin Yuan, a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, could enslave a Nascent Soul-level Spirit Beast! She had to temporarily abandon chasing Lin Yuan. The light from the ancient mirror in her hand dimmed slightly, and she turned to fiercely clash with the frenzied Golden Qilin Beast!

For a time, Sword Qi crisscrossed the Quiet Room, and beast roars shook the heavens! Terrifying energy aftershocks swept in all directions like raging waves, reducing all furnishings inside, along with the walls and floor, to dust!

Lin Yuan, hidden in the Formation, stared intently at the battle, the confusion in his eyes growing deeper.

Situ Piaomiao was a genuine Middle Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, yet the strength she displayed at this moment was only slightly stronger than an Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. Although she could suppress the rampaging Golden Qilin Beast, each move and stance revealed a sense of powerlessness and sluggishness.

"This isn't her main body? Is it a Clone?" A ruthless cold light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. "Previously, due to insufficient Materials, this Formation only had the effect of trapping enemies, with no offensive power. Today, I'll use you, this Nascent Soul Fairy, to consecrate my new Formation!"

The rare Materials he had plundered from Xiong Kaishan's Storage Pouch were now his capital for a comeback!

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, flipped his palm, and the azure Earth Core Nether Fire blazed in his palm. He also took out dozens of rare spirit Materials.

He had to complete the Formation upgrade before the Golden Qilin Beast was killed!

"Go!"

Lin Yuan let out a low shout. Dozens of nascent Formation Flags, under the control of his Divine Sense, were thrown into the Earth Core Nether Fire, beginning rapid refinement.

On the other side, Situ Piaomiao was both shocked and enraged. The Golden Qilin Beast's fearlessness far exceeded her expectations; every pounce carried a suicidal madness, forcing her to respond with full effort, rapidly depleting her magic power.

"Pfft!"

The Golden Qilin Beast let out a mournful cry. Its massive body was pierced through the chest by a crimson-golden sword light, spilling a gush of hot beast blood, and it crashed to the ground, the light in its golden eyes rapidly dimming.

"Die!" Situ Piaomiao's hair was slightly disheveled, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, clearly having suffered some shock.

Her gaze venomously locked onto Lin Yuan's hiding place, no longer holding back. A brilliant sword light shot towards him!

Lin Yuan's face turned pale. He suddenly raised his hand, and two black lights shot out to meet the sword light!

These were the treasures given by Xuan Yin Old Ancestor, refined from the scales on the heart of the Black Armored Corpse!

When activated, these treasures could unleash a full-power strike equivalent to a Late Core Formation Stage Perfection Cultivator. Although far from matching Situ Piaomiao's enraged strike, the two scales exploded in mid-air, finally reducing the power of the deadly sword light by more than half.

And in this flash of lightning, Lin Yuan's hands completed the last Hand Seal!

Om—!

The entire Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array suddenly vibrated! The sky full of starlight was instantly dyed with a layer of azure flames! A deadly sense of crisis, enough to make even Nascent Soul Cultivators tremble, descended with a roar!

Situ Piaomiao looked up in horror, only to see that the starry sky above her head had transformed into a death cage composed of azure flames!
