Rong Xiu's figure shifted, and he rapidly vanished from the courtyard!
Yu Mo and Yan Qing exchanged a glance and followed suit!
With the disintegration of that eerie pattern, Situ Xingchen officially broke through to become a Fifth-Order Martial Artist!
Seeing that the pillar of light showed no signs of disappearing, and that Situ Xingchen, suspended within it, was still continuously devouring the surrounding heaven and earth energy, Rong Jiu finally realized something was wrong.
If they continued to wait like this, who knew if Situ Xingchen would keep breaking through!?
He looked toward Wei Lin
"Have you found Elder Ye?"
Wei Lin shook his head.
Rong Jiu pondered for a moment
"Issue the order: Activate the Xuanming Array!"
Hearing this, the crowd standing behind exchanged bewildered looks.
No one expected that the Xuanming Array, which Emperor Jiawen had not yet had the chance to utilize, would now be used by Rong Jiu to deal with Situ Xingchen!
"Yes!"
Wei Lin quickly led his men away.
Waiting is always exceptionally agonizing.
After about fifteen minutes, a fluctuation finally emanated from the northwest corner of the Imperial Palace!
A single starlight emerged slowly in mid-air!
Immediately following that, more points of light appeared one after another around the starlight!
In the blink of an eye, they had connected into a single expanse! It looked like a small galaxy!
Almost simultaneously, the same scene was playing out in the other three directions!
All the lights converged toward the center.
It was as if an invisible hand was connecting these four fragmented pieces of starlight!
Boom!
When everything converged, a massive roar finally erupted!
It was like a giant star net covering the entire Imperial Palace!
A vast, majestic pressure descended!
The cyan-red pillar of light also felt the oppression of this force and began to contract toward the center!
At that moment, Situ Xingchen suddenly opened her eyes!
Those eyes, which always held a shimmering watery light, were now filled with a deep crimson!
A brutal and cold killing intent surged wildly from the depths of her pupils!
She looked at her wrists and ankles.
With the help of that power, all the injuries on her physical body had healed, and her cultivation realm had broken through directly from a Third-Order Martial Artist to the Fifth Order!
She slowly clenched her fists, feeling the abundant power within her body, her heart filled with exhilaration!
She had been somewhat hesitant before, but looking at it now, this decision could not have been more correct!
Never mind the Kingdom of Yao Chen; looking across the entire world, how many people could achieve consecutive breakthroughs to this level in such a short amount of time!?
Most importantly, the power within that bronze vat had not been exhausted!
In other words, her strength would continue to rise!
She looked up, and upon realizing that the pillar of light seemed to be gradually shrinking, she let out a cold laugh.
Then, she pressed her palms together, and the Origin Power surrounding her surged wildly!
In an instant, gale-force winds howled! Thunder and lightning clashed!
The pillar of light that had pierced the clouds suddenly fell like a waterfall!
That dazzling light, carrying incomparable and powerful strength, poured frantically into her body!
Intense, stinging pain radiated from every part of her body!
Situ Xingchen saw several small wounds burst on her hands, thick, sweet-smelling blood slowly seeping out.
But she gritted her teeth and did not stop.
Only by doing this could she break through at a faster speed!
If she could endure this momentary pain, she would become a top expert in the world!
Soon, Rong Jiu and the others saw that the pillar of light, which seemed to connect heaven and earth, was rapidly being whittled away from both the top and bottom.
Situ Xingchen's body was like a black hole, frantically devouring that light!
The unease in Rong Jiu's heart grew even stronger.
He shouted in a deep voice
"Xuanming Array—Activate!"
His low, powerful voice echoed far and wide!
In an instant, the practitioners distributed throughout the palace exerted their strength simultaneously!
Upon the massive Xuanming Array, flowing lights interlaced!
Very quickly, they outlined a colossal figure!
Roar!
A dragon's roar echoed between heaven and earth!
It was actually a Seventh-Grade Magical Beast—the Red-Tailed Flood Dragon!
Its entire body was a brilliant silver, with only its tail appearing a crimson color, like a raging, burning flame!
Its massive form almost blotted out the sun!
When that dragon's roar sounded, even the ground seemed to tremble!
The Xuanming Array was a palace-protecting array, but in truth, only a very few people knew that within this profound array, a Red-Tailed Flood Dragon was actually suppressed!
And it was the most formidable aspect of the Xuanming Array!
Because although the Red-Tailed Flood Dragon was a Seventh-Grade Magical Beast, it possessed the bloodline of the ancient divine beast—the Void Phoenix Dragon!
The Red-Tailed Flood Dragon could almost be considered the absolute pinnacle and most powerful existence among Seventh-Grade Magical Beasts!
Legend had it that some Red-Tailed Flood Dragons had the chance to break through to the Eighth Grade, or even higher!
The Red-Tailed Flood Dragon crouched in mid-air, its massive crimson eyes filled with coldness! It looked down with indifference!
Situ Xingchen's heart skipped a beat.
She had not expected that beneath the Xuanming Array, a magical beast of such grade was actually hidden...
Although she was already a Fifth-Order Martial Artist, wanting to deal with a Seventh-Grade Magical Beast was still somewhat delusional.
Unless she could break through to the peak of the Sixth-Order Martial Artist, there would be only a sliver of hope...
Situ Xingchen gritted her teeth, circulated the power throughout her body, and quickly laid down a barrier around herself!
In the next moment, the Red-Tailed Flood Dragon charged rapidly toward Situ Xingchen!
Wherever it passed, black spatial cracks appeared!
One could see just how intense the pressure surrounding it was!
Then, its dragon tail lashed out violently!
*Slap!*
It struck heavily against the barrier in front of Situ Xingchen!
Boom!
A massive sound of energy collision erupted!
A wave of pressure actually passed directly through the barrier, crushing down upon Situ Xingchen's body!
Her body shuddered, and her face instantly turned much paler!
However, in the next moment, a flash of wild joy appeared in her eyes!
Because—the barrier had not broken!
With only her current strength as a Fifth-Order Martial Artist, the barrier she cast certainly could not have withstood the attack of a Red-Tailed Flood Dragon.
Therefore, she had directly utilized the power of the light pillar to converge into this barrier!
It was indeed incredibly powerful!
Her heart settled slightly, and she continued to devour the surrounding heaven and earth energy!
With just a little more time, she might just be a match for this Red-Tailed Flood Dragon!
Seeing that Situ Xingchen actually withstood a strike from the Red-Tailed Flood Dragon, the crowd watching below was also shocked.
"What exactly is going on with that cyan-red light on her body? How can it contain such powerful strength?"
"In such a short time, she has already broken through to the Fifth Order—no! She is already at the middle stage of the Fifth Order!? Is she actually going to break through to the Sixth Order!?"
"Do you see? It looks like she's bleeding? Her physical body probably can't take it anymore!"
"What exactly does she plan to do..."
Not just in the palace, but at this moment, everyone in the entire Imperial Capital had seen this commotion! They all looked up at this scene together!
Situ Xingchen remained indifferent to those gazes.
Something seemed to be surging within her chest and abdomen, and blood was constantly seeping from her body, yet she could no longer sense the pain; she only felt as if she were surrounded by a mass of flames!
Suddenly, her gaze froze, looking toward a certain spot!
With a wave of her sleeve, a powerful force swept out!
Chu Liuyue, who was hiding in the Qinghe Hall, sensed the movement behind her, and an alarm suddenly blared in her heart! She turned her head to look!
A vast, majestic pressure came rushing toward her face!
