Not to be outdone, Immortal Lord Changli gritted his teeth and also infused the Fire Phoenix with a surge of power.

Where the fire dragon and fire phoenix collided, the erupting flames were as devastating as a volcanic eruption.

Immortal Lord Changli and True Man Lingxiao fought without restraint, and the extreme temperature generated at the center of their battle seemed to melt the arena as well.

Moreover, the entire Fenglingtai was shrouded in high temperatures. The flames of mid-stage and late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators were far beyond what the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators watching could withstand.

Only cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above can barely hold on.

However, the temperature on site continued to rise, and the two people on the dueling platform were releasing fire-type spiritual power like madmen, and the scene was already close to getting out of control.

If this continues, the people on Fengling Terrace will truly be roasted into dried meat.

The cultivators had never seen such a scene before.

At first, they thought it was just an ordinary contest among elders.

Who would have thought that just coming to watch the game would put their lives in danger?

The elders of each sect immediately used their spiritual power to erect a barrier to protect their disciples.

The independent cultivators watching the battle were on the verge of tears. Fenglingtai was closed, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

Gu Ci Zhenjun's brow twitched slightly, and with a wave of her delicate hand, a gentle force formed a barrier, enclosing the arena.

She has an obligation to ensure the safety of everyone on Fenglingtai.

With the high temperature blocked, the cultivators finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted their chests in relief.

The clash between the top combatants in the cultivation world is terrifying!

Gu Ci Zhenjun merely set up a barrier; he did not stop the two.

Even if the two of them really destroy Fenglingtai, they still have to determine a winner; that's the rule of the competition.

Lingxiao Zhenren manipulated the fire dragon to fight against Changli Xianjun's fire phoenix, his expression remaining unchanged, displaying complete composure.

Although Immortal Lord Changli was also skilled, he had already gritted his teeth and felt a bit strained.

At their level of cultivation, even a small difference in stage results in a world of difference in strength.

It is quite remarkable that Immortal Lord Changli has been able to contend with True Person Lingxiao to this extent.

"Hmph, how dare you, a petty villain, try to stop a chariot with your bare hands?" Master Lingxiao sneered. "You have reached your limit, while I have only used half of my strength."

"You think you can defeat me? You're dreaming!"

Immortal Lord Changli's strength far exceeded his expectations, and his cultivation techniques were no less than his own.

But soon, he will trample this imposter underfoot!

He wanted Shen Sanruo to see with her own eyes that he was the unshakeable number one in the cultivation world and the top master of fire-type spiritual power!

Lingxiao Zhenren lost patience to continue fighting Changli Xianjun. He manipulated the fire dragon with both hands, and the fire dragon's body instantly doubled in size.

The terrifying aura seemed to cause the heavens and earth to change color.

This is his full strength.

He will deliver the final blow to Immortal Lord Changli! He will absolutely crush him!

"This immortal lord has reached his limit? Heh." Immortal Lord Changli sneered through his teeth, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

He made a hand seal with his right hand, raised it to his brow, and muttered incantations.

A flame appeared between his brows and flickered at his fingertips.

The immense power contained within the flames almost distorted the space around him!

"go!"

With a low roar from Immortal Lord Changli, the flames merged into the fire phoenix, which then let out a mournful cry as it looked up at the sky.

The flames formed a body that grew increasingly crimson, eventually turning into a dark, blood-red color!

The falling flames seemed to turn into beads of blood.

The phoenix rises from the ashes, bathed in blood, and is reborn!

"Immortal Lord Changli is burning his own divine soul power!"

The speaker's voice changed, and the sound he made was almost a scream.

Shen Sangruo's pupils suddenly contracted, "Master!"

She knew, of course, how insane it was to burn one's divine soul power.

Ye Huai and the others also looked distressed, but they knew that only in this way could Immortal Lord Changli stand against True Person Lingxiao.

Their master has always been like this; they can't stop him.

The Taoist Wuwei and the Fairy Qingluan couldn't bear it and looked away.

At this moment, all the cultivators stared wide-eyed, looking at Immortal Lord Changli as if they were looking at a madman.

That's the power of the soul!

Unlike physical damage, damage to the soul is extremely difficult to recover from. Damage to the soul can affect cultivation and may even lead to demonic possession.

Moreover, the process of extracting the power of the soul is extremely painful and cannot be endured by ordinary people.

Unless absolutely necessary, almost no cultivator would choose to burn their divine soul power.

At this moment, everyone on Fenglingtai reached a consensus:

The people of Ninghua Sect are all ruthless!

It's just a contest between elders, why go to such lengths!

If they cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, they will definitely protect themselves well, not even daring to touch a single hair on their head.

They truly did not understand what Immortal Lord Changli was doing.

Lingxiao Zhenren's expression changed, clearly not expecting Changli Xianjun to risk burning his divine soul power to fight against him.

"This immortal lord will make you pay the price!"

Immortal Lord Changli's words reached True Man Lingxiao's ears, and he immediately understood Immortal Lord Changli's intention.

The surprise in his eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable, overwhelming rage.

Make him pay the price?

When did it become his place to speak up for Shen Sangri?!

"Overestimating yourself!"

If that's the case, then he will make sure that Immortal Lord Changli loses his victory, dignity, and divine power!

Lingxiao Zhenren's gaze darkened, and he unleashed all his strength without reservation.

They seemed determined to fight to the death.

Upon seeing this, everyone on Fengling Terrace showed expressions of horror.

Oh my god, they won't die on this Fengling Terrace, will they?!

All I could do was pray that the barrier set up by True Lord Gu Ci would hold!

Gu Ci Zhenjun was also prepared to withstand the upcoming impact.

The two terrifying forces collided, and the enormous sound they produced even caused the cultivators' ears to ring.

The blinding flames made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes or see what was happening on the competition stage.

Gu Ci Zhenjun pressed his lips tightly together and used all his strength to prevent the shockwaves generated by the fire dragon and fire phoenix from affecting others.

boom--

The explosion lasted for nearly half a minute.

After the sound disappeared, a deathly silence fell over Fengling Terrace.

After recovering from the brief tinnitus and blindness, everyone's first reaction was to look towards the center of the arena, eager to know the final result of this crazy competition.

The people from Ninghua Sect and Feiyun Sect stood up in unison, their eyes filled with worry.

Shen Sanruo's expression was solemn as she stared intently at the competition platform.

However, the arena was shrouded in thick smoke, making it impossible to see what was happening.

Qingluan Fairy clicked her tongue, unable to wait for the thick smoke to slowly dissipate.

With a raised hand, gusts of wind swept in.

As the thick smoke quickly dissipated, the situation on the competition platform gradually became clear.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Who really won?
