[Five Elements Flags: A top-grade defensive spiritual treasure, consisting of five small flags imbued with the power of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, each possessing unique effects...]

Buzz!

Qin Shou opened his palm, revealing five small flags of different colors, with the power of the five elements surging and flowing on them.

"Perhaps we can refine these five flags into the Five Elements Defense Array."

Qin Shou murmured, "I'll do it right away."

Seven days later.

The formation is complete.

Qin Shou opened his eyes and eagerly entered the simulated trial space, wanting to test the power of the formation.

Demon Lord Yaoyao stood opposite, her beauty unparalleled.

Qin Shou adjusted his cultivation to the ninth level of the Void Realm, and then summoned the Five Elements Flag and the Five Elements Defense Array.

Boom!

The Demon Lord Yaoyao, who had reached the ninth level of the Void Realm, made her move.

However, the Five Elements Defense Array, which uses the Five Elements Flags as the five key points of the array and is supplemented by the Five Elements Laws, is indestructible and cannot be broken even by the Demon Lord who is known as unparalleled in attack and destruction.

Therefore, Qin Shou raised Demon Lord Yaoyao's cultivation to the first level of the Integration Realm.

Boom!

Demon Lord Yaoyao immediately unleashed a powerful killing move.

The protective array of the Qin beast shook violently, appearing to be on the verge of collapse, but it still held firm.

"The Integration Realm is indeed worthy of its name. Although it has only advanced by one level, its combat power is at least dozens of times greater than that of a ninth-level Void Realm cultivator."

"Perhaps, it's just that this Demon Lord's Nascent Soul Realm cultivation is too strong."

"Let's try to advance to a higher level."

The second level of the Integration Realm.

Boom!

The formation shook violently, but it still didn't break.

The third level of the Integration Realm.

Click!

A crack appeared in the great formation, but it was quickly covered and repaired by the continuous stream of chaotic spiritual power provided by Qin Beast's Chaos Golden Core.

"Holy crap! I'm awesome!"

"Let's try to advance to the next level."

The fourth level of the Integration Realm.

Bang!

The Five Elements defensive array surrounding the Qin Beast was broken.

"Wow! That bitch is fucking strong!"

Qin Shou gasped.

You must know that I have comprehended six laws, and there are two major law domains: the Five Elements Domain and the Thunder Domain.

"However, being able to withstand the attack from Demon Lord Yaoyao, who is at the third level of the Integration Realm, is already quite impressive."

"Roughly estimated, the Five Elements Defense Array I've constructed should be able to withstand attacks from some ordinary cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of the Integration Stage."

"This is just the beginning. As my cultivation improves and the formation is continuously refined, the defensive capabilities can become even stronger."

"So satisfying!"

"This is what security feels like!"

"By the way, let's test my current combat strength again."

It was still Demon Lord Yaoyao who immediately advanced to the fourth level of the Integration Realm.

"Hehehe, Demon Lord, prepare to die!"

The Qin beast, fully armed, unleashed its ultimate attack.

Bang!

Ah~

"You bitch!"

Qin Beast was defeated; he was instantly killed.

This was something he could not tolerate.

Is this Legend of Sword and Fairy just for show?

"Again."

The third level of the Integration Realm.

Bang bang bang...

Qin Beast persisted for two hundred moves.

"Hehe, we have a chance of winning."

The second level of the Integration Realm.

The Qin beast persisted for 1,200 moves.

First level of the Integration Realm.

The two are evenly matched.

"Holy crap, something's not right!"

Qin Shou frowned deeply; this Demon Lord seemed excessively powerful.

He had only crossed a single major realm, yet he hadn't managed to defeat her instantly.

That won't do!

Nine layers of void.

Instant kill!

"Phew~"

"That's more like it."

"That's some consolation."

Qin Shou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; this feeling was so familiar.

"No, let's try someone else."

Yun Anran.

The ninth level of the Void Realm.

Instant kill!

First level of the Integration Realm.

Fifteen moves!

The second level of the Integration Realm.

Five hundred moves.

The third level of the Integration Realm.

One thousand seven hundred and eighty-one moves.

The fourth level of the Integration Realm.

A draw.

Fifth level of the Integration Realm.

The Qin beast was defeated.

"That's more like it!"

Qin Shou nodded in satisfaction.

Then they changed to another person.

Snow and moon are clear.

Combine one or two, in seconds!

Combined three layers.

Twenty-five moves!

The fourth level of the Integration Realm.

One hundred and fifty-two moves!

Fifth level of the Integration Realm.

More than 1,200 moves!

The sixth level of the Integration Realm.

A draw.

"Haha~"

"Not bad, not bad."

"Xueyue Qing is still the best!"

"I'll have to treat him better next time."

Qin Shou smiled slightly, then fell into thought.

"Based on this calculation, my current combat strength, when fully armed and at my maximum output, is comparable to that of an ordinary fifth-level Nascent Soul cultivator."

"Sigh~"

"Isn't this a bit too much?!"

The Qin beast was filled with worries.

We're all human, so why is he the only one who's so outstanding?!

God gave him a handsome appearance and such outrageous talent. It's just... too awesome, hehe.

"Ahhh~, the day I tread upon the heavens is just around the corner!"

Qin Shou jumped up from the bamboo chair and shouted loudly towards the cliff edge.

"Aaaaaah~, Brother Qin, help! Some bastard's trying to rape me!"

No sooner had Qin Shou's voice fallen than an even louder voice rang out.

"What the hell?"

Qin Shou looked up and saw a sword light rushing towards him at lightning speed from the far horizon, as if it were in a hurry to be reincarnated.

Behind that sword light, another sword light was chasing after it.

"Yun Anran!"

Qin Shou's eyes lit up, and he immediately shut down the Four Spirits Sacred Array.

He sensed that the aura behind Yun Anran seemed very powerful.

Bang!

Yun Anran couldn't brake in time and crashed face-first into the protective array.

"Brother Qin~~~"

Yun Anran cast a resentful glance my way. I haven't even gone in yet! I haven't even gone in yet! Are you serious about taking a half step back and closing the formation?

Qin Shou pretended not to see it and quickly checked the information of the person who came.

Zhou Xiansheng: Half-step into the Integration Realm, the number one sword prodigy of the younger generation in Beiju Luzhou, the personal disciple of the sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect, possessing the "Innate Sword Body," and known as the master of three thousand sword techniques. He is hailed as the number one offensive swordsman in the field, and is extremely arrogant.

"Phew~, only half a step into the Integration Realm, relax, relax."

Qin Shou patted his chest and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

This is it... I thought it was something special.

This time, I don't even need to enter the simulation trial space to compete; I'm confident I can defeat him instantly.

Simulated trial space.

The Qin beast went all out from the start.

He would not stop until the enemy fell.

Two breaths later.

"Holy crap!"

Qin Shou was shocked.

"This guy, barely at the half-step Fusion stage, actually managed to block two of my attacks!!!"

This guy is awesome!

If he were to improve further, his combat strength within the territory might even rival that of the Demon Lord.

Is this the combat power of the so-called number one offensive swordsman in the field?

His sword is indeed sharp!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was "earth-shattering and awe-inspiring".

Unfortunately, my defenses have been personally verified by the Demon Lord.

"Hehehe........."

Qin Shou grinned maliciously.

Suddenly, he slammed his hand on the table and chairs, leaped into the air, and roared in fury:

"Damn it, whoever dares to touch my Qin Shou's brothers, I'll kill them!"
