The sixty-third level is extremely difficult. Back when I led the Azure Underworld Banner, I spent a long time grinding on this level before passing it. This Grand Banner Head Li Luo, is he planning to clear it in one go?\" A young man spoke from within the stone pavilion; he was the previous Grand Banner Head of the Azure Underworld Banner, named Li Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ze, the former Grand Banner Head of the Golden Light Banner who had previously secretly reprimanded Deng Fengxian, smiled slightly and said, \"This is the Dragon Head of this generation. How could you, Li Xuan, compare yourself to him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With such stunning talent as his, how can you, the former Grand Banner Head of the Azure Underworld Banner, bear the shame?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke with a smile, yet his seemingly casual words caused Li Xuan’s face to flush with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The situation of the Azure Underworld Banner is unique. Its poor performance in the past was only because the situation within the house was different from the others; without a Grand House Master presiding, all aspects were affected. So, the performance of the Azure Underworld Banner doesn't really have much to do with Li Xuan,\" Li Fuling said, glancing at the two of them without haste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Li Fuling’s words, Li Xuan’s expression finally eased a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fengyi swept a look of annoyance at Lu Ze; this guy was truly full of malice, clearly intending to sow discord and make Li Xuan harbor hostility and resentment toward Li Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Lu Ze right now; instead, she stared at the gradually dimming light on the screen, her brows slightly furrowed, because calculating the time, the Evil Demon Cave was indeed not far from closing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if Li Luo failed to lead the Azure Underworld Banner to clear the sixty-third level before time ran out, then this opportunity would be lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although waiting for the next time shouldn't be a big problem, that would likely have to wait until after the \"Spirit Phase Cave Heaven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fengyi also knew that Li Luo had his eyes on the \"God-Enlightenment Pill\" reward for the sixty-third level, as he wanted to use this pill to prepare for the \"Spirit Phase Cave Heaven,\" so if it dragged on until after the \"Spirit Phase Cave Heaven,\" it wouldn't be of much significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether Li Luo could clear the sixty-third level in the remaining time, Li Fengyi had no certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And time continued to slip away amidst Li Fengyi’s anxious mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another ten-plus minutes passed in this manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the plaza; many eyes looked at the two names tied for first place on the light screen, and at this moment, the name representing the Golden Blood Banner was gradually dimming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicated that the Golden Blood Banner had retreated from the Evil Demon Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Golden Blood Banner had not jumped to the sixty-third level, which meant the Golden Blood Banner had not defeated the Evil Demon leader of the sixty-third level, but was instead forced out in the final moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Golden Blood Banner failed to charge the sixty-third level!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many banner members showed shock. Although the Golden Blood Banner and Li Qingfeng had suffered repeated setbacks during this period and their prestige had been damaged, he was, after all, once the number one person among the twenty banners, so no one dared to truly look down on him. Yet this time he still failed to clear the sixty-third level, which showed just how high the difficulty of this level was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since even Li Qingfeng and the Golden Blood Banner failed, how much longer could the Azure Underworld Banner led by Li Luo hold on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now there was only a handful of time left; even if the Azure Underworld Banner could still hold on, they would still be kicked out of the Evil Demon Cave as time ended, so in terms of the outcome, it was the same as the Golden Blood Banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes were fixed on the gradually dimming light screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people were already counting down in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fengyi clenched her hands nervously, her heart pounding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others in the stone pavilion also stopped talking; even Li Fuling, though she had been slightly dismissive of Li Luo being able to compare to Li Taixuan, was now holding her breath slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plaza, which had been somewhat noisy, became inexplicably silent at this moment, as if no one existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked away second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light screen grew increasingly dim, yet, at the very moment when some had already begun to let out sighs of disappointment, everyone suddenly saw a brilliant light erupt from in front of the Evil Demon Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, figures flashed out one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the eight thousand members of the Azure Underworld Banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as soon as these eight thousand members appeared, they sat down with pale faces, closing their eyes to recover their nearly exhausted Phase Power. Many had bloodstains at the corners of their mouths, as if they had just experienced an extremely intense battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Underworld Banner had finally come out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes on the plaza were fixed on them. Was this... the time running out and them being forcibly kicked out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as some people were thinking this, a thunderous roar exploded from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look! The ranking board has changed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commotion spread like a flood. Countless gazes shot toward the Evil Demon Cave ranking board on the mountain wall, and then they saw with shock that the Azure Underworld Banner, which had originally been tied for first with the Golden Blood Banner, slowly disappeared, and immediately after, its name appeared above the Golden Blood Banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First place, Azure Underworld Banner!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Golden Blood Banner’s ranking had changed from first just a moment ago to second!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the plaza, tens of thousands of banner members were stunned at this moment, staring blankly at that glaring \"First.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant... the Azure Underworld Banner had solo-cleared the sixty-third level?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the Golden Blood Banner failed to do, the Azure Underworld Banner had ultimately achieved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant that from this moment on, the Azure Underworld Banner had become the undisputed number one banner among the current twenty banners?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Panting*—low gasps of shock rose one after another in the plaza. They looked with shock and envy at the pale and exhausted members of the Azure Underworld Banner in front of the Evil Demon Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could have imagined that more than half a year ago, this Azure Underworld Banner was still the bottom-dweller among the four banners of their Dragon Tooth Line, but now, they had leaped straight to the top, achieving the highest glory of the twenty banners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of earth-shattering change was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was envious, because they all knew that the Azure Underworld Banner was actually still the same Azure Underworld Banner; the only difference was that they had welcomed Li Luo as their new Grand Banner Head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was under Li Luo’s leadership that the Azure Underworld Banner was able to be reborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst those numerous shocked gazes, a slender, young figure walked out from among the members of the Azure Underworld Banner; it was Li Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was also a bit pale at this moment. In that battle with the Evil Demon leader, he had exhausted almost all his means, and only by relying on the dominance of the \"Mass Phase Dragon Tooth Sword Array\" did he manage to forcibly shatter it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly a close call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been any later, they really would have returned empty-handed this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortunately, they ultimately achieved a thrilling victory. They cleared the sixty-third level. From now on, the Azure Underworld Banner was the top of the Evil Demon Cave rankings. Of course, for Li Luo, that \"God-Enlightenment Pill\" he had been longing for was finally safely in his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo let out a weary breath. After this battle, the entire Azure Underworld Banner would probably need to rest for several days to recover. Sure enough, rushing progress was exhausting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up ahead and saw the crowd parting, with a group of people walking over quickly. At the very front were Li Fengyi, Li Jingtao, and the others, and behind them, Li Luo saw some unfamiliar figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, from the black and red standard combat uniforms they wore, it was not difficult for him to identify their identities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s expression shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the people from the Longyawei arrived?\u003C\u002Fp>",1596,"2026-06-20T03:27:27.871Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","535c656e6f47a265033d0f00d68d0b30096dd4590af3188d61424742b884f2fb","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-930","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-928",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
