Hearing Qu Ling’s words, Xu Yangzi and the others felt their blood rushing upward, nearly spitting it out, but at the same time, they were also shocked and fearful. They all simultaneously released their divine senses to examine themselves.

A hint of mockery flashed in Qu Ling’s eyes. She raised one hand and lightly uttered the word, "Go."

Then, in the void on either side of her, flashes of light appeared. A giant cyan silkworm, several dozen feet long, and a giant snow-white python of similar size materialized out of thin air. Without a word, they rushed towards Xu Yangzi and the others.

The cyan silkworm's body appeared bulky, but it radiated a profound cyan light all over. Its speed was actually a few points faster than the snow-white python. In a flash, it appeared in front of the Zhenyan Sect.

With a wide opening of its mouth, cyan light flashed wildly within. Dense, countless cyan silk threads gushed out, weaving into a large cyan net that swept down towards Xu Yangzi and the others.

These cyan silk threads were bright and translucent, emitting faint fluctuations of the power of law.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yangzi and the others were greatly alarmed.

"Golden Crow Transformation!" Xu Yangzi shouted loudly, rapidly making hand gestures, and spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which entered the large banner above his head.

The spirit patterns on the surface of the banner suddenly lit up, radiating a large area of flame, instantly turning golden, and a golden pillar of fire spewed out.

The others also immediately spat out essence blood and cast spells. The flames emitted by the fire banners above their heads all turned golden, spewing out golden pillars of fire.

The pillars of fire merged together in the void above everyone's heads, transforming into a golden firebird, hundreds of feet in size, with a phoenix crown on its head and long fiery feathers trailing behind. Especially notable were the three legs growing beneath its feet, making it appear exceptionally divine.

The golden firebird raised its head and let out a soft cry. Its wide wings spread, and it pounced towards the oncoming cyan net.

As soon as the cyan net touched the golden firebird, it immediately burned as if it had encountered its nemesis, turning into wisps of blue smoke and dissipating.

Qu Ling raised an eyebrow slightly at this scene.

At the same time, the other snow-white python had also flown near the Zhenyan Sect. Suddenly, with a wide opening of its mouth, it spewed out a thick, crystalline white light.

As soon as the white light flew out, it silently shattered, transforming into a white mist mixed with white ice shards, sweeping towards the Zhenyan Sect like a blanket.

The white mist emitted a terrifying cold air, and the nearby void seemed to freeze instantly.

The cyan silkworm, failing in its first attack, squeaked as if annoyed, and once again spewed out countless cyan silk threads, like countless cyan flying arrows, piercing down.

The golden beetle beneath Qu Ling also didn't just watch. It let out a sharp cry, and its two front claws shone with golden light. Two crystalline lights, hundreds of feet in size, shot out.

With a flash in the void, the two crystalline lights appeared in front of the Zhenyan Sect and slashed down in an intersecting manner.

The combined attack of the three strange beasts was naturally immensely powerful!

A hint of shock flashed in Xu Yangzi's eyes. He immediately made hand gestures like wheels, and the others also looked solemn.

As the spiritual light of the large banners above everyone's heads became dazzlingly bright, the golden firebird suddenly released flames all over its body. It spun rapidly, transforming into a sheet…

...

In the endless sea of sand, the Azure Heron Flying Boat shot forward rapidly.

The two had already flown for half a day. With the Azure Heron Flying Boat's speed, they had already penetrated a considerable distance into this endless sea of sand.

Both of their faces were currently flushed. Han Li was slightly better, but Lu Yuqing's cheeks were crimson, and an unusual heat emanated from her body.

Han Li stood at the bow of the boat, using his Spirit Eyes to probe the surrounding movements.

"Huh!" he suddenly uttered softly, his gaze looking towards the left front.

At the end of the field of vision, a faint green color appeared, seemingly an oasis.

"This should be the rumored Mirage Illusion," Lu Yuqing said.

"Has it finally appeared..." A gleam flashed in Han Li's eyes, and there was a hint of anticipation.

"This Mirage Illusion is extremely powerful, but in order to confirm our location here, we have no choice but to venture in. However, I am not good at breaking illusions, so I can only rely on Brother Han," Lu Yuqing hesitated for a moment and said to Han Li.

Han Li nodded inscrutably. The Azure Heron Flying Boat beneath him shone with a brighter cyan light, and its speed increased even more, rushing towards the oasis ahead.

...

Above the red wasteland, the battle continued.

The shocking rumbling sounds continued to spread, causing the nearby void and the ground below to tremble.

The eight cultivators of the Zhenyan Sect, led by Xu Yangzi, all looked solemn, making hand gestures constantly. Except for Xu Yangzi and the other three Gold Immortals, the faces of the others were already pale.

The fire banners suspended above their heads had already turned crimson gold in color, and the runes on the surface flowed continuously. The golden firebird was long gone, replaced by a golden sea of fire, hundreds of feet in size, blocking in front of them.

The flames of the golden sea of fire rolled, blocking the attacks of the three strange beasts released by Qu Ling, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

"It seems I underestimated you, but to be able to enter this Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion, you should have some abilities. Perfect, let me try the power of this thing." Qu Ling chuckled and waved her hand, throwing out the emerald green gourd in her hand.

At the same time, a pure silver light spewed out from her mouth and disappeared into the gourd in a flash.

Buzz!

The originally ordinary-looking gourd trembled, immediately blooming with dazzling green light. Its size also increased, transforming into a green giant gourd, about a dozen feet in size. Its surface was covered with circles of patterns, and it was emerald green all over, like a jade sculpture. The gourd body vibrated slightly, emitting a buzzing sound.

In the trembling sound, a line of tadpole-like silver spiritual patterns flashed on the surface of the green gourd, emitting a silver light that was impossible to look at directly.

A vast power of law emanated from the gourd and spread around, causing the void to tremble wildly.

"Precious Immortal Artifact!" Xu Yangzi and the others' expressions changed when they saw this scene.

Everyone wanted to do something, but the combined attacks of the three strange beasts came wave after wave. They were already trying their best to resist, and they couldn't spare any strength.

At this moment, Qu Ling also put away the teasing on her face. She made hand gestures rapidly, while also spewing out several clusters of silver light from her mouth, all of which disappeared into the green giant gourd in a flash.

The green light emitted by the giant gourd immediately became much more intense again, almost as if it were substance. The silver spiritual patterns on it twisted and contracted uncertainly, wriggling like living things.

With a soft "poof" sound!

A green rainbow of light shot out from the mouth of the gourd, rolling towards Xu Yangzi and the others.

A verdant green ring appeared in the green rainbow, emitting an unspeakable power of law.

A burst of air resounded in the void!

The nearby void suddenly collapsed, and the earth spirit energy within a radius of tens of thousands of miles fluctuated wildly. Countless colorful light clusters emerged, rolling and gathering towards the verdant green ring, disappearing into it.

The verdant green ring faintly enlarged, and the power of law it emitted became even more magnificent.

The green rainbow flashed and struck the golden sea of fire, immediately piercing through it, as if piercing through a piece of thin paper, appearing above Xu Yangzi and the others' heads.

The rainbow rolled violently, enveloping all eight fire banners above Xu Yangzi and the others' heads in a flash.

The verdant green ring inside the green rainbow suddenly enlarged, enclosing the eight fire banners.

The golden flames rising from the fire banners immediately dissipated, revealing the original bodies of the eight large banners.

The verdant green ring flickered, emitting a mesmerizing cyan halo. The eight large banners immediately shrank rapidly, turning into eight small banners, rotating in the green rainbow.

Xu Yangzi and the others' expressions changed drastically. Just now, they felt that the connection between their minds and the eight fire banners had disappeared instantly.

Seeing this scene, Qu Ling showed a hint of satisfaction and waved her hand, casting a spell.

The green light rainbow flashed, shot back, and disappeared into the green giant gourd.

The eight small banners were also covered in green light and flew into the giant gourd.

Xu Yangzi and the others were speechless. Losing the eight fire banners, the golden sea of fire in front of them fluctuated and collapsed, turning into scattered firelight and disappearing without a trace.

With the golden sea of fire gone, the attacks of the three strange beasts were unimpeded and shot down instantly.

Chi chi chi!

Countless cyan silk threads swept down, instantly entangling all the Zhenyan Sect who were still in shock.

The Zhenyan Sect suddenly reacted and were about to struggle.

With a flash in the nearby void, two thick crystalline lights appeared out of thin air and slashed down in a lightning-like manner.

Blood light appeared, and the bodies of the Zhenyan Sect, including Xu Yangzi and the other three, were all cut in two, and a large amount of blood appeared.

At this moment, an extremely cold white mist, mixed with countless ice shards, arrived with a roar.

A terrifying cold air suddenly exploded, and a white iceberg, several miles in radius, appeared out of thin air, freezing all the Zhenyan Sect.

Inside the giant iceberg, those True Immortal cultivators had already all fallen. Only Xu Yangzi and the other three still had some breath, but they could not move at all.

"Not bad, not bad," Qu Ling said, nodding in satisfaction, muttering to herself.

Just then, her brow furrowed slightly, and a pale look flashed across her face.

Although the emerald green gourd was powerful, even if it had not yet been refined, the Immortal Spiritual Power consumed to activate it was extremely vast.

She took a light breath, and her complexion quickly recovered. She waved her hand at the green giant gourd above her head.

The giant gourd shrank rapidly, turning into the previous size in a few breaths and falling into her hand.

Qu Ling's cold gaze looked at the Zhenyan Sect in the iceberg, and she was about to do something.

At this moment, a layer of blood-colored flames suddenly appeared on the bodies of Xu Yangzi and the other three, and then burned on their own, turning into three clusters of blood-colored flames.

The three clusters of blood-colored flames quickly connected to each other, and a terrifying force suddenly erupted from them.

Crack!

The giant iceberg trembled violently, and a crack appeared on it.

Seeing this scene, the snow-white python roared and the white light on its body flared, about to do something, but it was already too late.

Three red lights shot out from the crack, flying towards the distance. In the red light, one could vaguely see three Nascent Souls, several inches in size.

Chi chi chi!

A large puff of cyan silk threads shot out, rolling towards the three Nascent Souls at a shocking speed, but compared to the almost teleportation-like speed of the Nascent Souls, it was clearly somewhat lacking.
