Beneath the sea, not far from Luoxing Island.
Within a hidden cave on the seabed.
Concealed by formations, continuous streams of primal energy surged towards the cave.
Inside the cave, Jiang Li sat cross-legged at the center, gripping the Star Saint Crystal and the Chaos Saint Crystal in each hand.
Jiang Li's aura was growing at an astonishing rate.
A top-tier Spirit Gathering Array was also set up nearby, concentrating the surrounding spiritual energy.
This caused the spiritual energy around Jiang Li to condense into a tangible substance, creating a magnificent spectacle.
Jiang Li's upper body was bare, marked with the traces of a terrifying "battle."
Numerous red marks, like tiny strawberries, dotted his skin.
Not far away, Lin Ziyan, after a fierce struggle, was completely subdued by Jiang Li, her body trembling slightly, appearing greatly ravaged.
Thanks to the healing of Jiang Li's Phoenix Nirvana Scripture, Lin Ziyan had recovered some of her vitality, barely maintaining her life force.
Lin Ziyan looked at Jiang Li with a sense of disbelief.
She had thought that after inheriting the legacy of the Heavenly Phoenix Ancestor and achieving the Saint Body, she could finally contend with Jiang Li.
To her surprise, it was still not enough...
If Sister Su were here, the two of them together, they surely could have...
Lin Ziyan took a deep breath, recovering her physical state.
Jiang Li, unaware of Lin Ziyan's inner thoughts, focused solely on his cultivation.
Following the battle with Lin Ziyan, Jiang Li had absorbed a considerable amount of her Phoenix power.
The Phoenix Nirvana Scripture had now broken through to the sixth level.
Upon reaching the sixth level, the healing effect of the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture had significantly improved.
The sixth level of the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture not only greatly enhanced Jiang Li's recovery capabilities.
It also granted him a Phoenix Dharma Idol.
Unleashing the Phoenix Dharma Idol could dramatically boost his combat power.
It exerted extreme pressure on enemies and could also launch powerful offensive attacks against them.
It was precisely due to the sixth level of the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture that Jiang Li was able to fight Lin Ziyan with his full might, without many reservations.
The recent battle with Du Qingrou, while exhilarating, had still required Jiang Li to hold back, as Du Qingrou's strength was not comparable to Lin Ziyan's.
The fight with Lin Ziyan was different. Coupled with the breakthrough in the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture, Jiang Li was able to unleash his full power without restraint.
This was the true exhilarating battle Jiang Li craved.
The Chaos Saint Crystal and the Star Saint Crystal in Jiang Li's hands continuously released Chaos and Star power, filling his entire being.
A torrent of power coursed through Jiang Li's body.
The bottleneck of Saint King fourth heaven was being relentlessly battered by the Chaos and Star power.
"Rumble!!!"
After a prolonged period, with a violent surge of aura, Jiang Li finally broke through the bottleneck.
His realm had successfully reached Saint King fifth heaven.
The aura of Saint King fifth heaven flowed from Jiang Li's body.
However, Jiang Li did not cease his cultivation, continuing to absorb the Star and Chaos power from his hands.
The endless Star and Chaos power was rapidly devoured by Jiang Li.
Jiang Li's realm quickly stabilized and continued to slowly ascend.
Several hours later, Jiang Li's realm was fully stabilized and had reached the middle stage of Saint King fifth heaven.
Middle stage of Saint King fifth heaven!
Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes, sensing the immense power within him.
A sense of security filled his heart.
Lin Ziyan's arrival this time had significantly boosted his strength.
The Phoenix Nirvana Scripture had broken through, he had gained the Phoenix Domain, and his realm had advanced further.
With the augmentation of the Divine Fire Dharma Idol and the Phoenix Dharma Idol, his dual Dharma Idols,
Jiang Li now felt that he could contend with Xia Qingying and Ye Wushang, even without utilizing the Golden Bone of the Desolate Ancient Saint Body.
"Young Master, congratulations on your further progress!" Lin Ziyan, from nearby, with a smile and a sway of her alluring waist, approached Jiang Li.
Lin Ziyan had recovered significantly after a period of time.
A hint of charm and anticipation now flickered in her eyes.
Dressed in a new, form-fitting, light green long dress, Lin Ziyan stood beside Jiang Li, gently nudging him.
Jiang Li smiled faintly, this divine maiden...
Seeing Lin Ziyan's gaze, Jiang Li understood her intentions.
Xiao Yun, if you knew the state of the goddess you adore in front of me, you would surely... Pity, you will never know.
Jiang Li collected his thoughts. The three-day deadline still had some time left.
Then... let's have another...
With a series of enchanting sounds, a fierce battle erupted once more.
...
Starry Sea.
Luoxing Island.
At this time, Luoxing Island was still swept by the sea breeze.
A small island not far from Luoxing Island was being battered by waves that crashed against its rocky shores, as if to sweep everything away.
On the edge of the small island stood a peerless beauty with an exquisite face.
She wore a white dress, her figure graceful and captivating.
A dark aura surged around her, and a formidable power flowed through her.
The surrounding waves seemed to recede significantly under her overwhelming presence.
"Screech!!!"
Opposite the woman, an elder of the Yaksha clan, holding a trident, his face contorted in anger, glared at the peerless beauty with icy eyes.
The Yaksha elder's Yaksha Dharma Idol exuded a chilling aura.
"How dare you kill our disciples of the Primeval Demon Sect! Pay with your life!" the woman said in a sweet voice, her pupils filled with cold killing intent.
With that, a majestic Asura Dharma Idol appeared on the woman.
The moment the Asura Dharma Idol manifested, the entire island seemed to be shrouded in an endless, terrifying aura.
An aura of absolute destruction flowed from the woman.
It seemed poised to annihilate everything.
The Yaksha elder felt his entire body tremble. The primal energy within him seemed to be heavily suppressed, rendering him unable to circulate it at full effectiveness.
His Yaksha Dharma Idol flickered like a candle flame, on the verge of extinguishing at any moment.
"They were the ones who first stole our Yaksha clan's treasures!" the Yaksha elder roared, his eyes filled with deep apprehension.
He had not expected that this seemingly peerlessly beautiful woman possessed such immense power.
She was clearly only at Saint Great triple heaven, yet she could effortlessly suppress him, who was at Saint Great seventh heaven.
It was simply unbelievable.
"I don't care about the reasons. I only know that you killed our Primeval Demon Sect's disciples, and therefore you must die!" the peerless woman stated calmly.
As soon as the peerless woman finished speaking, her Asura Dharma Idol erupted with immense power.
