System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Jiang Linglong, dressed in pristine white, stood before the two. Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, showing no fear whatsoever. Instead, she raised her hand, pointing her azure divine sword directly at the sky. The sword's tip flashed with a cold light, piercing through layers of air pressure. She asked loudly, "Do you intend to stop me?"

This scene was manifested through the vertical eye between Xuan Ye's eyebrows, clearly reflected in the eyes of Chen Xuan and the other seventeen people.

Saintess Huang Quan covered her lips and chuckled softly, "Isn't she arrogant?"

"That tone reminds me of someone on the arena of the Holy Land Ranking Battle a thousand years ago." Xuan Yi turned to look at Chen Xuan, a smile in his eyes.

Feng Yao pursed her lips and nodded: "Putting aside strength, just this arrogance is indeed somewhat similar to that of Senior Brother Chen Xuan."

Xia Jiuyou frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the white-clad girl in the image: "Although their tone is arrogant, the You Ran Divine Dynasty has been passed down from the late Immortal Ancient period and has a profound foundation. Even if their strongest combat power is only a second-level True Immortal, it is by no means something that three juniors in the Nascent Soul Realm can contend with."

"Hmph, so what?" Han Jiuling stepped forward, his dragon spear humming and trembling, its tip gleaming coldly. "If those three third-rank Celestial Immortals dare to cross the line and make a move, we will unleash a massacre and show them the might of the Nine Nether Holy Land!"

Chen Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and composed, but a hint of expectation lingered in his eyes.

He naturally saw through the mystery of the Heavenly Net Flying Needle Formation, but he also wanted to see with his own eyes how much his three disciples had grown over the past thousand years.

Seeing his posture, Xia Jiuyou already knew that he had made a decision.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a surge of furious rage erupted from the distant void, like a thunderclap from the heavens.

"Insolent brat, ignorant of your own limitations!" The third-rank Celestial Immortal from the Leisurely Divine Dynasty was furious. Although he dared not directly attack due to the agreement with the Nine Nether Holy Land, he sternly ordered his subordinate rogue immortals.

"Thirty-two Loose Immortals, heed my command! Activate the Heavenly Net Flying Needle Formation to suppress and capture these three. I want to see who gave you the audacity to run wild in the Nine Netherworld!"

As soon as the command was given, thirty-two streams of light sped out from the celestial warship and instantly merged with the two celestial immortals from Phoenix City.

Thirty-four people, positioned according to the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) directions, simultaneously unleashed silver-glowing flying needles. Over a hundred immortal needles intertwined and entwined in the air, and amidst the dazzling light, a gigantic net that blotted out the sky was suddenly formed.

Above the net pattern, the Tai Chi Daoist rhythm flows like yin and yang fish, and the boundless mysterious light is as ethereal as swirling clouds and mist. It is the Celestial Rank Trapping Array, the Heavenly Net Flying Needle Trapping Array.

This formation excels at encirclement and suppression. Once it closes in, even a Void Reversal Realm expert would find it difficult to break free. The flying needles within the formation are incredibly sharp and can pierce through the soul, making it truly domineering.

"This formation is quite powerful, combining the essence of two Great Daos. Those three little guys probably won't be able to withstand it." Xuan Yi squinted at the scene reflected by his divine sense, his tone tinged with worry.

Xia Jiuyou's magical power was already surging, and a pale blue aura swirled gently around the edge of her sleeves, like a raging storm about to erupt.

Those clear, cold phoenix eyes were fixed on the center of the battlefield. Her fingertips curled slightly, and her palms were already gathering immense magical power. This accumulation would be enough to tear through space in an instant.

She exchanged a glance with Han Jiuling, and subtle ripples appeared around them. As soon as Jiang Linglong and the other two showed the slightest sign of being suppressed, they would instantly tear through the void and rush over.

On the surface, she still maintained her aloof demeanor, but in her heart, she was already on edge—if these three ignorant brats really perished here, given Chen Xuan's temperament, he would probably unleash a bloodbath in the Nine Netherworld Realm.

Han Jiuling was the same. The tip of the dragon spear in his hand faintly gleamed with a chilling light. He said in a deep voice, "The You Ran Divine Dynasty is becoming more and more presumptuous. They actually dare to let a rogue immortal activate such a killing formation. Do they really think that my Nine Nether Holy Land has no one to rely on?"

On the battlefield, the Heavenly Net Flying Needle Formation had already taken shape. The giant net, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, descended upon Jiang Linglong, Zhang Lingyu, and Wang Ye like dark clouds pressing down.

Wherever the net shadow passed, the void was compressed and slightly collapsed, groaning under the unbearable pressure. The Daoist rhythms of Tai Chi and Wuji intertwined to form layers of shackles, constantly squeezing the space in which the three could move.

"Lingyu, make your move!" Wang Ye changed his usual lazy demeanor, his body radiating black and white divine light. The innate Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams diagram slowly unfolded beneath his feet, the trigrams flowing and exuding an ancient and vast aura.

As the Bagua diagram rotated, it formed an invisible barrier, barely blocking the initial pressure of the grand formation. He rapidly formed hand seals, causing the positions of the hexagrams on the Bagua diagram to constantly change, and the Yin and Yang energies to circulate endlessly. He actually managed to slow down the closing speed of the grand formation by virtue of his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation.

Zhang Lingyu remained silent, his white clothes and hair fluttering in the wind. His sword intent instantly surged to its peak, like a peerless divine sword about to be unsheathed.

He cultivated the ruthless sword path, and at this moment, only cold killing intent remained in his eyes. The long sword in his hand hummed as it was drawn from its sheath, and a white sword aura, condensed to the extreme, soared into the sky like an inverted Milky Way, piercing straight into the core of the Heavenly Net Flying Needle Formation.

The sword energy was incredibly sharp, actually carving a tiny crack in the great formation. However, the formation quickly repaired itself with the power of the Great Dao, and the crack disappeared in an instant.

"Is that all you've got?" The white-haired old ancestor from Phoenix City sneered, exchanging a glance with the old woman beside him. The two of them simultaneously activated their Celestial Immortal power, and their powerful immortal energy poured into the great formation like a torrent. "Three mere Nascent Soul Realm brats dare to run wild in my Phoenix City. Today, I'll show you what it means to be arrogant and ignorant!"

The old woman also smiled sinisterly, "After suppressing you, I will definitely skin you alive, dismember you, and extract your souls to make an example of you!"

Seeing this, the thirty-two loose immortals also exerted their power at the same time. The pressure of the Heavenly Net Flying Needle Formation became increasingly terrifying, and the speed at which the giant net contracted suddenly accelerated. The black and white Daoist charms were like tangible shackles, constantly squeezing the space in which the three could move.

Wang Ye's Bagua barrier was already on the verge of collapse, its surface covered with cracks. Although Zhang Lingyu's sword energy was still sharp, it was difficult to cause substantial damage to the great formation.

Just then, Jiang Linglong, the girl who had been standing with her hands behind her back behind the two of them, finally moved.

Dressed in pristine white, her flowing robes made her appear like a celestial being descended from the heavens. Her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, her face showing no sign of panic, but rather an arrogant air of looking down upon the world.

Facing the ever-approaching Heavenly Net Flying Needle Formation, she slowly raised her right hand, the azure divine sword gently rotating in her palm. The sword's hum was clear and resonant, her tone calm yet carrying a penetrating majesty: "Skinning and dismembering? Extracting souls and refining spirits? You dare to do that?"

The moment her words fell, the entire world resounded with the hum of swords, the void trembled violently, and streaks of azure sword marks appeared around her body, as if an invisible sword intent was about to burst forth from her body.

The great battle above the core star of Phoenix City was witnessed by the patriarchs of various sects and independent cultivators watching from the surrounding void.

Everyone stared in disbelief, gasping in astonishment.

"Who are these three youths from? They're clearly only at the Nascent Soul Realm, yet the power of the Great Dao they unleash is comparable to that of a Celestial Immortal!"

"I had previously heard that they could fight beyond their level and kill peak Void Reversal Realm cultivators even when they were only at the Nascent Soul Realm, and I scoffed at it. But seeing it today, I can see that they truly live up to their reputation!"

"If we could bring them into our sect, our sect would surely rise to prominence within a thousand years! It's a pity they shouldn't have provoked the You Ran Divine Dynasty. Unless the Nine Nether Holy Land intervenes, no one can protect them!"

"With five Celestial Immortals in command and thirty-two Loose Immortals joining forces to set up a trapping formation, these three juniors are likely doomed..."

"Not necessarily! Such a genius may have some hidden tricks up his sleeve. If he can escape this calamity, Phoenix City and the Leisurely Divine Dynasty will have one more mortal enemy in the future!"
