The phantom coiled in the sky, and the rolling might of the Heavenly Dragon descended, directly suppressing the Fiend-Slayer leader’s sky-piercing baleful aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under this Heavenly Dragon Dharma Body, the Fiend-Slayer leader’s body felt as if it were bearing a mountain, and its feet instantly sank into the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its speed, strength, and even its baleful Qi were all suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nine-Turn Technique, Heavenly Dragon Thunder Breath!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Li Luo channeled the Heavenly Dragon Thunder Breath, the Heavenly Dragon phantom formed by the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Body opened its dragon mouth, and the next instant, a vast, thunderous dragon breath like a silver meteorite pierced the sky and slammed directly into the Fiend-Slayer leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the Heavenly Dragon Thunder Breath was bolstered by the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Body, so its power appeared even more formidable and domineering than when used alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period of frantic grinding in the cave, Li Luo’s application of the Nine-Turn Techniques had become increasingly masterful; at the same time, he had also discovered another marvelous use for the \"Heavenly Dragon Dharma Body,\" which was its ability to amplify the power of other Nine-Turn Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this perspective, the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Body was indeed worthy of being one of the most difficult to obtain among the eighteen Nine-Turn Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the thunder breath washed down, the Fiend-Slayer leader did not sit idly by; it opened its mouth and spat, and its massive baleful Qi condensed into a giant black blade, which it then swung down, transforming into a thousand-foot-long blade of baleful light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The baleful blade light collided with the dragon breath, and the terrifying energy shock that erupted in that instant almost shredded all the clouds in the sky; this grassland even saw the appearance of numerous bottomless abyssal ravines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The raging energy storm continued for a good while before it gradually weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo stood in mid-air with a solemn expression; by now, nearly half of the power gathered through \"Combined Qi\" had been consumed, yet the Fiend-Slayer leader still had strength to spare—this thing was even harder to deal with than he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly a bitter battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, do you still have strength left?\" Li Luo shouted in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eight thousand members of the Azure Heaven Flag looked slightly pale, but they answered Li Luo with their actions; everyone showed a determined expression, pouring their full strength into channeling the Dragon Breath Refining Baleful Art, continuously stripping away the last bit of their power, which was then converted into Combined Qi and provided to Li Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the power increase once more, Li Luo understood that this was the final energy of the Azure Heaven Flag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, it was just a matter of seeing who—them or this \"Fiend-Slayer leader\"—could outlast the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce look appeared in Li Luo’s eyes, and massive energy roared out, finally transforming into a banana-leaf fan surrounded by wind and thunder in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo grabbed it and, with all his might, swung it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, wind and thunder rioted between heaven and earth, and the offensive began anew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the plaza in front of the Fiend-Slayer Cave, the members of the other three flags of the Dragon Tooth Line waited nervously for the result, their gazes fixed motionlessly on the mountain wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the stone pavilion by the plaza, Li Fengyi had already arrived with Li Fuling and her group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their arrival did attract some attention; the members of the three flags whispered to each other with curious eyes, as they had identified their status from the standard combat uniforms of the Dragon Tooth Guard worn by Li Fuling and her group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Five Heavenly Dragon Guards were the higher echelon for the younger generation of the Five Heavenly Dragon Lines, where the elite geniuses from the twenty flags of several recent cohorts gathered; every member of the twenty flags had the ultimate goal of being able to enter the Five Heavenly Dragon Guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the entry requirements for the Five Heavenly Dragon Guards were even more stringent, with only those at the Heavenly Dipper General rank being qualified, so out of the tens of thousands of people in each cohort of the twenty flags, perhaps only about a thousand could meet the standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jingtao and Deng Fengxian stood up and cupped their fists toward Li Fuling and her group; after all, according to the rules of the twenty flags, they had to address these people as senior brothers and sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fuling flashed a smile at them, then cast her gaze toward the light curtain on the mountain wall; she looked at the Azure Heaven Flag and the Golden Blood Flag tied for first place, her eyes flickering slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the former head of the four flags of the Dragon Tooth Line, she was naturally very familiar with the Fiend-Slayer Cave, so she was well aware of how difficult it was to reach the top spot in the Fiend-Slayer Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, she had not managed to bring the Red Cloud Flag to this height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Grand Flag Leader Li Luo is indeed quite capable,\" Li Fuling said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then continued: \"But compared to Senior Li Taixuan, there is still an obvious gap; at the very least, when Senior Li Taixuan was in charge of the Azure Heaven Flag back then, no other flag could stand on equal footing with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fengyi spoke up for Li Luo: \"Cousin Fuling, that comparison isn't fair; Li Luo has only been in the Azure Heaven Flag for less than a year, and he has already caused the Azure Heaven Flag to be reborn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He was in the Outer Divine Continent previously, which is why he was delayed for some time; if he had grown up in the Dragon Tooth Line since childhood like Third Uncle, he would surely be crushing everyone now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is indeed possible, but unfortunately... these assumptions of yours cannot hold up in the end; there are too many regrets in the world, and this is not the only one,\" Li Fuling smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fengyi huffed: \"Wait until Li Luo clears the sixty-third floor, and the Azure Heaven Flag will be the sole first place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's just wait and see,\" Li Fuling said, sitting to the side noncommittally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the argument between the two women, Li Jingtao smiled and did not interject; he just watched the light curtain on the mountain wall with a lazy demeanor, waiting for the final result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Fengxian was standing at the edge of the stone pavilion when he suddenly noticed a figure walking toward him and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Lu Ze.\" Deng Fengxian glanced at the figure, recognized him, and nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Senior Brother Lu Ze was the former Grand Flag Leader of the Golden Light Flag from the previous cohort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Golden Light Flag led by Junior Brother Fengxian was previously firmly seated at the top of the four flags of the Dragon Tooth Line, wasn't it? How did it get surpassed by a latecomer who joined halfway?\" that Lu Ze smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Grand Hall Master used to have much praise for you, saying that your cohort was far stronger than my cohort of the Golden Light Flag, but looking at the current performance of the Golden Light Flag, I'm afraid it can't live up to that praise from the Grand Hall Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the sarcasm hidden in Lu Ze’s words, Deng Fengxian’s expression remained unchanged, and he only said indifferently: \"Senior Brother Lu Ze thinks too highly of me; even Li Qingfeng couldn't stop Li Luo, do you really think I could?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ze smiled and said: \"But when you were strong before, you never took the opportunity to apply some pressure on Li Luo and the Azure Heaven Flag; you could have done it, and although that might not have changed anything in the end, at the very least, it could have delayed the time of his rise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And yet, you did nothing... Li Luo’s rise has also given him the momentum and reason to take charge of the Azure Heaven Hall; for instance, that newly established position of Azure Heaven Hall Master—could that new Hall Master not have been promoted exceptionally because Li Luo’s recent achievements made the Line Head, the old man, happy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The structure of the Azure Heaven Hall has been changed, which will naturally have some impact on our Golden Light Hall; after all, you must understand that some of the authority of our Golden Light Hall was taken from the declining Azure Heaven Hall,\" Lu Ze said meaningfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Fengxian fell silent, stared at him, and asked: \"Who said this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Lu Ze’s status, he didn't seem qualified to speak about such a major matter concerning the position of the Golden Light Hall, but now that he had said it, Deng Fengxian had to consider whether this was Lu Ze’s own intention or... from the higher-ups of the Golden Light Hall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, was it their Golden Light Hall’s Grand Hall Master, Zhao Xuanming?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this an expression of dissatisfaction with him, a beginning of a \"beating\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ze smiled faintly: \"Junior Brother Fengxian, you and I are both outsiders; we should do something for that reason. The strengthening of the Golden Light Hall is beneficial to both of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, during this Spirit Phase Cave Heaven, do not foolishly follow that Li Luo, listening to his orders and being used by him... on the contrary, if there is an opportunity, create some inconspicuous obstacles, just a little, so that he doesn't have it too easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't need to make it too obvious; after all, the Line Head, the old man, still dotes on this grandson very much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Fengxian fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ze patted him on the shoulder and whispered: \"Remember, the position you have now is all due to the cultivation of the Golden Light Hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his voice fell, he turned and walked into the stone pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Fengxian stood where he was; he remained silent for a long time, looking up at the top layer of the light curtain on the mountain wall, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>",1943,"2026-06-20T03:27:27.871Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1514318e13c76ea92df7d458092ec809ab659b4d967c88ef749c262cdc46092d","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-929","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-927",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
