Faint clouds and mist surged in, and when he steadied his focus again, he had already appeared on a small path. The path extended into the depths, where many courtyards and halls could be seen looming in and out of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within this golden palace, there seemed to be an invisible force locking the void, making it impossible for anyone to soar or fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo proceeded with caution. A moment later, he stopped in front of a courtyard, for he sensed some peculiar energy fluctuations coming from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered slightly, then carefully pushed open the tightly shut courtyard gate. Looking inside, the courtyard was quite spacious and contained little, but in its center, a stone staircase had been cast. Up the stairs appeared a platform, and upon the platform stood a stone cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s gaze immediately fixed upon the stone cup, and he saw that within it, drops of golden liquid seemed to possess a spirit, jumping about like elves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s eyes instantly turned fervent, for those golden drops were none other than the Spirit-Phase Golden Dew he had dreamed of!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the quantity in the stone cup, there were likely around ten drops. This was a huge harvest; after all, Li Luo and Li Lingjing had wandered outside for several days and only gathered a dozen or so drops, yet here, in this golden palace, they were found so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo scanned the courtyard, then cautiously took a step, walking inside step by step, and ascended the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone cup became increasingly clear in his eyes, and Li Luo could see streaks of light patterns spreading from the cup, constantly absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This stone cup seems to be specifically for absorbing heaven and earth energy to refine 'Spirit-Phase Golden Dew'. Could this golden palace be a facility established here by the 'Formless Saint Sect' to collect 'Spirit-Phase Golden Dew'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a thought flashed through Li Luo’s mind, and his palm reached toward the stone cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the moment he was about to touch the stone cup, it suddenly trembled. Five streaks of light shot out from within, directly transforming into five light-shadows. Powerful phase power erupted, and five fierce attacks blasted directly toward Li Luo’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden turn of events startled Li Luo slightly, but he did not panic, for he had not let his guard down and was prepared to respond at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand, the Gold-Jade Profound Elephant Blade flashed into existence, and the dragon-shaped mark between his brows directly bloomed with radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nine-Scale Heavenly Dragon Battle Body!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s body seemed to expand by a circle at this moment, and his own strength, speed, and defense were all enhanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five-Dragon Power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo swung his blade to meet them. The blade light was majestic, and within it, a dragon roar seemed to explode. As the blade light swept past, even the air was blasted apart, sending rolling shockwaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo met the five light-shadows with a single strike. Instantly, a piercing sonic boom erupted, and violent energy shockwaves raged throughout the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting five against one, even with Li Luo’s preparations, he still felt the blood in his body churn. Fortunately, the \"Nine-Scale Heavenly Dragon Battle Body\" had brought great reinforcement to his physical body, so Li Luo was not injured, though his figure was knocked back. As his feet landed on the ground, he left half-inch deep footprints with every step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo quickly steadied himself, looked ahead, and his eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that in front of the stone cup, five light-shadows wearing the robes of the Formless Saint Sect stood silently. Their eyes held no emotional fluctuations, looking much like the gatekeepers from before, though their strength was slightly weaker—likely at the level of a one-star Heavenly Pearl Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such strength, if it were one-on-one, Li Luo would be confident in killing them instantly, but with the five gathered together, it appeared a bit troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this a protective mechanism for the 'Spirit-Phase Golden Dew'?\" Li Luo muttered to himself. Clearly, this was a defensive measure set up by the Formless Saint Sect; once the stone cup was touched, it would be triggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five light-shadows did not utter a word upon appearing. Their indifferent gazes locked onto Li Luo, and the next moment, their phase power vibrated like a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They charged directly at Li Luo to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I cannot drag this out too long, lest I attract others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo pondered. The barrier had already been torn open by the combined efforts of Li Lingjing and Qin Ying; it would likely shatter completely before long, and a large number of rogue cultivators would inevitably flood in. Therefore, he had to hurry and snatch the \"Spirit-Phase Golden Dew\" first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Li Luo formed a seal with one hand, and the dual-phase power containing spirit marks surged out like a tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Minor Marquis Art, Azure Dragon Tree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground in front of Li Luo shattered instantly, and a large tree rose from the ground. Its branches intertwined, transforming into several azure wood dragons that roared as they whistled toward the light-shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>",886,"2026-06-20T03:27:27.871Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","fb054b3d786f0bfa5f59c96c20ebcc0806bc6c60e3e4047a8dfdc57df2831cd0","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-962","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-960",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
