One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!

After Sun Yao finished speaking, Manjushri felt a darkness before his eyes. In an instant, the sky darkened, the sun and moon lost their light, and even the stars could not shine.

This was precisely the True Martial Black Banner that was unfurled by the Golden Horn and Silver Horn on the South Heavenly Gate, instantly obscuring the sky and the world, providing cover for Sun Yao's next move.

A beam of pure light shot out from the Primordial Chaos Supreme Purity Divine Talisman in Sun Yao's hand, and unexpectedly, this beam of pure light was so dazzling even with the sky obscuring the sun.

Even though Manjushri Bodhisattva is now a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he was momentarily blinded by the pure light. Caught off guard, Manjushri Bodhisattva was directly absorbed into the Primordial Chaos Supreme Purity Divine Talisman.

In the blink of an eye, Manjushri Bodhisattva was trapped in the Yin-Yang Dust Array. If properly arranged, the Yin-Yang Dust Array can form its own world without being visible from the outside.

Manjushri Bodhisattva landed in the world of fire, where he was awaited by Taiyi Zhenren, who was there to assist him.

After Taiyi Zhenren led his army into the Fire World, he deployed all 30,000 troops to enhance the power of the Fire World's formation. He himself remained in the Fire World, waiting to battle Manjushri Bodhisattva.

Not only him, but other military commanders such as Guang Chengzi did the same. When fighting against a Great Luo Golden Immortal like Manjushri Bodhisattva, having the 30,000 Celestial Court troops by one's side would only be a hindrance. It would be better to let them all enter the formation to strengthen its power.

When Manjushri Bodhisattva entered this world of fire, the first thing he saw was Taiyi Zhenren, who was waiting for him with the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover in hand.

After falling into the Yin-Yang Dust Array, he learned that the person who designed him was Emperor Donghua, Sun Yao. However, what he did not expect was that the first person he would see after falling into the battle was actually Taiyi Zhenren.

"Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk greets Senior Brother Taiyi!"

"Amitabha? Should I then address you as Infinite Heavenly Venerable?! Today, I will teach you a lesson, you traitorous disciple! Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, burn to ashes!"

After Taiyi Zhenren finished speaking, he placed the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover in the air. With a few hand seals, nine towering fire dragons flew out from the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.

The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, being an innate spiritual treasure, was already quite remarkable. With the blessing of the fire world of the Two-One Dust Array, its power was further enhanced.

Nine towering fire dragons roared forth, each possessing an aura no less powerful than that of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Upon witnessing this, not only Manjushri Bodhisattva but also Taiyi Zhenren were astonished.

In the past, when he used the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, these nine towering fire dragons were at most the combat power of nine Taiyi Golden Immortals, and even at their best, they were no more than the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortals.

After all, the one who wielded this magic weapon was only a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Due to the limitations imposed by the user, even though the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover was an innate spiritual treasure, it could not reach the same level of strength as the user.

Unexpectedly, with the blessing of the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array, these nine Heavenly Fire Dragons are now able to unleash combat power at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, which is truly an unexpected delight.

He hadn't been confident that he could defeat Manjushri Bodhisattva on his own, but now it seemed he had underestimated the Two Elements Dust Array.

However, it wasn't too late; he wanted to use his own strength to give Manjushri Bodhisattva a shock. At this moment, Manjushri Bodhisattva was indeed shocked by the nine towering fire dragons radiating the aura of Great Luo Golden Immortals. He had previously seen Taiyi Zhenren use this Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover; it should have been nine fire dragons at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, so why had it become a Great Luo Golden Immortal level dragon now?!

"The teacher is really biased! He already bestowed this Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, a treasure of innate spiritual value, upon you, and now he's reforging it to make it even better!"

Manjushri Bodhisattva's tone was filled with resentment and jealousy, while Taiyi Zhenren, who heard this, was somewhat bewildered. Teacher? Reforging? What was all this about? He looked up at Manjushri Bodhisattva and suddenly realized what was going on when he saw Manjushri Bodhisattva's expression. It turned out that he had mistaken the blessing he received from the Nine Dragons Divine Fire being encased in the Yin-Yang Dust Array for help from his teacher.

"Hmph, as expected, your character is flawed. No wonder you betrayed the sect for a few petty gains! Even a saint cannot reforge an innate spiritual treasure; at most, they can only change its form. The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover has reached its limit and has no further improvement; it is merely enhanced by the Emperor's Yin-Yang Dust Array. You haven't rid yourself of greed, anger, ignorance, and hatred, yet you can become a Bodhisattva in Buddhism. It seems that Buddhism is not as their doctrines claim!"

"Hmph, so what if you say so? Fine, I have a sixth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit protecting me. So what if you have nine Heavenly Fire Dragons at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals?!"

As Manjushri Bodhisattva spoke, a sixth-grade golden lotus of merit appeared beneath his feet, protecting him within the lotus. Confident in the protection of the sixth-grade golden lotus of merit, he proudly faced the nine heavenly fire dragons in mid-air.

"Nine Venerables? You've probably forgotten that I am also a Great Luo Golden Immortal, haven't you?" Taiyi Zhenren's tone shifted abruptly, his words filled with unimaginable chill. With a flick of his Taiyi whisk, the more than four thousand whisk strands instantly lengthened and lashed out towards Manjushri Bodhisattva.

The whisk's whisk threads were stronger than gold and iron, surpassing even the swords of several of the Twelve Golden Immortals. When the whisk struck the defensive barrier formed by the Golden Lotus of Merit, it produced a metallic clang.

"So what if you're here? You still can't break through the protection of my sixth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit." Seeing that Taiyi Zhenren's Taiyi whisk couldn't do anything to his Golden Lotus of Merit, Manjushri Bodhisattva smiled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.

"Is that so? Burn me! If I don't burn you to death today, I'll make you die of heat!"

At the command of the Grand Master Taiyi, nine towering fire dragons began to spew flames around the sixth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit. The flames of these nine towering fire dragons were innate spiritual fire, and in terms of power, they were no less than the Samadhi True Fire.

Even so, it was still impossible to break through the defense of the sixth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit. On the contrary, the sixth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit continued to shine brightly in the spiritual fire, much like a golden lotus growing in fire.

As expected, it is a top-tier defensive spiritual treasure in the primordial world. Even though it is only a sixth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit, its defensive capabilities are among the best of all innate spiritual treasures.

Seeing this, Taiyi Zhenren knew that he probably couldn't defeat Manjushri on his own. However, he wasn't in a hurry and let the nine heavenly fire dragons in the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover continuously scorch the sixth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit.

He knew very well that even the most powerful Sixth-Rank Merit Golden Lotus required magical power to activate. As long as his nine heavenly fire dragons continued to spew spiritual fire and scorch, Manjushri Bodhisattva's magical power would be continuously depleted.

I am not alone. As long as I keep depleting Manjushri's magical power, my fellow disciples will surely be able to break through his tortoise-like barrier.
