A passing traveler through the heavens

As the Heavenly Annihilation Formation collapsed with a deafening roar, Dong Quantianjun witnessed the tragic scene within the Howling Wind Formation, and his heart tightened suddenly.

He quickly summoned his magic weapon, Black Sand, and chanted incantations rapidly. In an instant, the wind seemed to be stirred up by an invisible giant hand, howling and whipping up sand and stones.

Driven by the gale, the black sand, like a swarm of frenzied black bees, densely rushed towards the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Wherever the black sand goes, the space is like a calm lake surface being rippled by a boulder thrown in.

The White Lotus Daoist's eyes sharpened, and his hands moved rapidly, continuously channeling the pure power of the Pure World White Lotus into the great formation. Instantly, the starlight became even more dazzling.

The power of the stars clashed violently with the raging black sand in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.

The power of the stars is like an indestructible wall, with the power of each star closely connected, firmly blocking the black sand outside.

The black sand relentlessly assaulted the power of the stars, but it could not break through and could only struggle futilely against the defense of the power of the stars.

The White Lotus Daoist clasped his hands together, and the power of the stars suddenly erupted, forming countless sharp blades of light that slashed towards the black sand.

A series of crackling sounds, like popping beans, were heard as the black sand was shredded by the light blades, and the gale dissipated. The core of the Wind Howling Array instantly lost its power support.

Within the blazing array, Bai Litianjun's face was flushed red, and veins bulged on his forehead as he exerted all his strength to activate the flames within the array.

A torrent of flames surged forth, interspersed with countless fire spirits that emitted sharp cries as they rushed toward the Zhou Tian Star Array.

These flames are extremely hot; wherever they go, the air is ignited, creating a sea of ​​fire with rolling heat waves that make people hesitate to approach.

Inside the Soul-Capturing Formation, Yao Bintian held a black banner in both hands. As the banner swayed gently, streams of soul-capturing power shot out like invisible threads, wrapping around Ji Lin and Bai Lian Dao Ren, attempting to invade their sea of ​​consciousness.

Within the Blood Transformation Array, Sun Liangtianjun stood in the sea of ​​blood, which churned endlessly like boiling water, with countless pillars of poisonous blood shooting into the sky. The poisonous blood contained endless toxins and emitted a nauseating odor.

Under the control of Ji Lin and the White Lotus Taoist, the Zhou Tian Star Array was as solid as a rock.

The power of the stars resonates with each other, forming powerful defensive and offensive forces that are in no way inferior to any attack.

Under the powerful onslaught of the Star Power, the Ten Deadly Formations were broken one after another, and the Ten Heavenly Lords also perished under the impact of the Star Power.

The people of Xiqi cheered with joy at the sight, their eyes filled with awe and gratitude for Ji Lin and the White Lotus Taoist.

Ji Lin then put away the great formation. Looking at the broken Ten Deadly Formations, he was quite satisfied with the power of the Zhou Tian Star Formation.

Ji Lin declined the victory celebration meticulously prepared by the people of Xiqi. After properly settling Bai Lian Dao Ren in Xiqi, he returned to Ziwei Palace alone.

But not long after leaving Xiqi, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way. Ji Lin's eyes narrowed, and he instantly stopped flying, looking at the other party warily.

Before Ji Lin could speak, the Taoist opposite him uttered a few words: "Please turn around, my darling."

Ji Lin looked closely and saw an ancient gourd magic weapon floating beside the Taoist. A red thread extended from the gourd's mouth, and a crescent-shaped throwing knife was tied to the end of the thread. The blade emitted a chilling light.

The moment he saw it clearly, the flying knife transformed into a blinding white light, carrying a sharp killing intent, and attacked Ji Lin swiftly like lightning.

Ji Lin remained calm, quickly took out the Treasure-Locking Coin, and threw it accurately at the throwing knife.

The moment the two made contact, something miraculous happened. The throwing knife seemed to be firmly restrained by an invisible and powerful force, instantly losing all its offensive momentum and falling helplessly to the side, turning into an ordinary throwing knife, no longer possessing its previous might.

At the same time, Ji Lin flicked his wrist, and the Five Innate Banners instantly formed a net around the Taoist. Each of the five banners emitted a mysterious light, weaving together a powerful restrictive force that tightly enveloped the Taoist, making it impossible for him to escape.

"Why bother? Now, I'll ask and you answer," Ji Lin's voice was deep and authoritative, carrying an unquestionable aura.

"Lu Ya, why are you blocking me here?" Ji Lin's eyes were like torches as he stared intently at the Taoist trapped in the formation.

Lu Ya's expression shifted slightly upon hearing his name, but he did not show much surprise, as if he had already expected Ji Lin to recognize him.

Lu Ya remained calm, his hands behind his back, seemingly relaxed and carefree, but in reality, he was extremely vigilant. His gaze swept quickly across the five innate flags flashing around him as he pondered a way to escape.

"There's no particular reason. I just saw you use the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation earlier and simply wanted to test your strength."

Lu Ya spoke calmly, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, carrying a hint of provocation, "Let's see if you truly deserve the prestige of the Zhou Tian Star Array."

Ji Lin sneered, his magical power surging around him, and star power gathering around him like countless stars. "Since you want to try, then I will grant your wish."

"But don't make excuses if you're no match for him later." With that, he quickly formed hand seals, and his star power instantly transformed into countless sharp star rays, shooting towards Lu Ya like a rain of pear blossom needles.

Seeing this, Lu Ya flashed away, transforming into a streak of fire and rushing to the side, dodging the attack.

He muttered incantations, and suddenly a black banner appeared in his hand. As the banner was waved, billowing black smoke surged out, and the faint wails of evil spirits could be heard from within the smoke as they rushed towards Ji Lin.

Ji Lin's eyes sharpened, and he clasped his hands together, quickly conjuring a shield made of star power in front of him.

The black smoke crashed into the shield, making a hissing sound. Ripples spread across the surface of the shield, but it remained steadfast and unbroken. Taking advantage of this moment, Ji Lin shouted, and the shield slammed forward, forcing all the black smoke back.

Lu Ya was forced back several steps by the force. He steadied himself and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. "You've got some skill. No wonder you were able to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array."

"You're nothing special," Ji Lin said calmly, his hands behind his back. "Now, do you still want to continue?"

Lu Ya gritted his teeth, "Hmph, the battle is not over yet, how can we give up so easily!" As he spoke, flames raged around him, and the phantom of a three-legged golden crow faintly appeared in the flames.

Ji Lin's gaze sharpened, and he quietly activated the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array. Countless stellar energies gathered in front of him, forming a dazzling galaxy that rushed towards Lu Ya.

The galaxy collided with the flames, producing a deafening roar. The powerful force stirred up air currents that instantly dissipated the surrounding clouds.

The two figures appeared and disappeared in the light, engaging in fierce combat.

After a fierce battle, Lu Ya's breathing was slightly disordered, and his clothes were torn in several places. Ji Lin, on the other hand, remained calm and his breathing was steady.

Lu Ya was secretly shocked, realizing that he was indeed no match for him.

"I concede defeat." Lu Ya's expression was complex, a mixture of resentment at defeat and admiration for Ji Lin's strength.

Ji Lin looked at Lu Ya, and a bold idea suddenly came to mind—to subdue him.

Although the demon race has lost its power and was severely weakened after the war between the demons and the lich, and is no longer as glorious as it once was, Lu Ya, as the former crown prince of the demon race, still has considerable influence and appeal among the remaining forces of the demon race.

Bringing him under my command would undoubtedly add a significant force to my future plans.

Ji Lin quickly considered the feasibility of the plan in his mind, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

"Lu Ya, do you want to live or die?"

After pondering for a moment, Ji Lin raised his hand and waved it back, taking back the Five Innate Banners that had been binding Lu Ya. Lu Ya was taken aback when he saw the power binding him suddenly disappear. Then he looked at Ji Lin with disdain and snorted coldly.

"What does it matter if I live or die? Do you think you can control me like this?"

Just as Ji Lin was about to explain his intentions, Lu Ya mistakenly thought there was an opportunity to take advantage of him, and with a leap, he quickly fled.

Ji Lin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, and he uttered a single word: "Suppress."

In an instant, a large, ancient bell, exuding a chaotic aura, descended from the sky. Its speed was so great that Lu Ya had no time to react, and it completely enveloped him.

"This, this is... the Chaos Bell?" Lu Ya, trapped inside the bell, stared wide-eyed in shock at the Chaos Bell before him, his face filled with disbelief.

He pounded on the bell with both hands and shouted, "Ji Lin, let me out! Where did you get the Chaos Bell?"

Ji Lin remained calm, raised his hand and gently waved it. The Chaos Bell slowly rose into the air, gradually shrinking in the air, and finally landed steadily in Ji Lin's palm.

Lu Ya, who had regained his sight, showed no fear or anger in his eyes. Instead, he was drawn to the Chaos Bell, his gaze filled with fanaticism.

“Now, can we have a proper talk?” Ji Lin looked at Lu Ya, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Lu Ya reluctantly shifted his gaze from the Chaos Bell to Ji Lin, and slowly nodded.

Then, Ji Lin waved his hand, and space instantly distorted. The two figures disappeared from their original spot, and when they reappeared, they were already in Zi Wei's small world...
