These restrictive formations are something even many immortals who have already achieved true immortality might not be able to set up. This little girl's level of restrictive formations would be considered master-level even in the myriad realms, but unfortunately her cultivation level is too low and the materials she has obtained are limited, so their power is greatly reduced.
Many materials used to set up formations can be substituted, but usually, using substitutes will weaken the power of the formation. However, in a small world like Canglan Realm, there are too many materials that cannot be found. Helpless, A Yao could only use substitute materials.
"You're planning to kill me here and then cover your tracks? Truly, a woman's heart is the most poisonous," Lou Munan laughed.
"Shut up!" A Yao's angry roar echoed through the bamboo forest, startling Lou Munan.
Ayao stared coldly at him, her killing intent so intense it was almost tangible. The ground beneath her feet and the surrounding bamboo were crackling and freezing, the frost rapidly spreading into the distance.
"You imposter, stop pretending in front of me, it's disgusting!" Ayao said angrily, her gaze towards Lou Munan filled with a desire to tear him to pieces immediately.
Lou Munan stared at her in shock.
Counterfeit?
Is she talking about herself?
"I don't understand what you mean," Lou Munan said, feigning ignorance.
Lou Munan was well aware of his innate abilities. After taking Xu Fengzhi back, he did not always act according to Xu Fengzhi's preferences and style within the Shenmeng Sect, but no one ever doubted him, not even Xu Fengzhi's parents. Why was that?
Because of his power to influence people's hearts, everyone who senses something is wrong with him will automatically find various suitable reasons for him.
Lou Munan was extremely surprised when A Yao first began to doubt him. However, after A Yao accepted "Xu Fengzhi's difference," Lou Munan realized that she, like everyone else, had been subtly influenced by his abilities.
He was extremely surprised when Ayao called him a fake.
"Still putting on airs in front of me. You're not Xu Fengzhi, you're not him," A Yao said, each word distinct, her gaze towards Lou Munan filled with hatred.
Lou Munan's smile vanished, and he asked, "When did you find out?"
“He wouldn’t hurt me. Even if he wanted me, he wouldn’t take advantage of me. I knew that day that you’re not him, and he would never do that to me.” Ayao’s voice was filled with anger.
Lou Munan looked at her, even more shocked. That day, he had secretly mocked her for not being able to distinguish between him and Xu Fengzhi, and for the relationship between the two of them. It turned out that she already knew back then.
She actually found out.
So, her murderous intent towards him later wasn't because she was angry that he almost took her innocence that day, but because she thought he had possessed Xu Fengzhi?
The red curse mark on his chest began to burn again, as if branded with a hot iron.
“I know who you are. You are the demon from the second level of the Burial Dragon Mountain Secret Realm,” A Yao said coldly.
Lou Munan looked at A Yao and suddenly chuckled. He said lightly, "You're not stupid, are you?"
Seeing the anger and hatred in A Yao's eyes, a sharp pain flashed through his heart, but he quickly suppressed it; it wasn't an emotion he felt. Lou Munan felt a deep malice surge within him. He spread his arms and laughed arrogantly:
"Yes, it was me. I killed Xu Fengzhi and possessed his body. So what? Do you really think you have the ability to avenge him?"
"You don't actually think you can kill me with just these few formations, do you?"
"Whether you can or not, you'll soon find out!" As soon as A Yao finished speaking, countless ice spikes suddenly appeared on the already frozen ground, instantly covering an area of hundreds of feet in radius. Lou Munan flashed into the sky.
call out!
A crimson light shot out from the darkness, faster than lightning. Upon closer inspection, it was a thin red needle.
Just as the fine needle was about to strike Lou Munan, his body suddenly vanished and reappeared in another location. Then, the red, ice-crystal-like needle changed direction and multiplied into tens of thousands, shooting towards Lou Munan like a torrential rain of blood-red pear blossoms.
Lou Munan gave a soft hum, the sound forming a wave that spread, shattering all the ice-crystal-like needles.
A red figure stood on a distant mountain peak. The red figure was a girl in red clothes who looked exactly like A Yao. She was A Yao's fire-type clone.
After the fire-type clone appeared, A-Yao's wood-type and metal-type clones also appeared on the other two peaks. The earth-type clone did not come here, just in case. A-Yao had decided to go all out to avenge Xu Fengzhi, but she also left herself a way out.
If she can't kill her opponent, she'll surely die. Leaving behind a clone allows her to revive within it. Then she'll immediately leave this realm to evade her pursuers.
Before deciding to take action, Ayao consulted the oracle hundreds of times to see if she would die, and the answer was always no.
call out!
A Yao's main body flashed to the fourth mountain peak. The surrounding peaks were covered with dense runes. A Yao and her three clones formed hand seals, and all the glowing runes fell off the mountain peaks row by row, imprinting themselves in the void, and flew towards Lou Munan.
Golden runes, like golden butterflies, were arranged according to a certain pattern, trapping Lou Munan and forming a golden storm. The storm's vortex was filled with these golden runes. These runes all carried pure spiritual power to suppress evil, and as the vortex shrank, they drew closer to Lou Munan at its center.
Lou Munan simply waved his hand, and a large expanse of red light appeared around him. This red light was like a red hurricane. When this red hurricane collided with the golden storm vortex, it produced a deafening explosion, and the golden storm vortex immediately dissipated.
All the golden runes were torn apart by the red hurricane. After destroying the golden storm vortex, the hurricane suddenly expanded its range, transforming into a terrifyingly huge red storm that swept towards the mountain where A Yao's main body and three clones were located.
Rumble—
With a deafening roar that seemed to shatter the heavens, the peak where Ayao and her three clones were located was destroyed by the red storm and collapsed into mud and sand.
Four beams of light flew into the sky; they were A Yao and her three clones.
The three clones transformed into three long rainbows and merged into A Yao's body. Instantly, A Yao's cultivation level surged, rising from the late-stage Nascent Soul realm to the late-stage Deity Transformation realm.
Her spiritual pressure suddenly surged, forming a storm. A dazzling light emanated from her body, with red, blue, gold, cyan, and purple rays swirling around her. Then, a huge phoenix phantom appeared behind her. The phoenix's body quickly solidified, and as it spread its wings, the colorful rays illuminated the entire sky and earth.
An even more astonishing aura erupted from the colorful phoenix, creating visible colorful ripples in the air that spread outwards.
Lou Munan calmly observed the phoenix, pondering in his heart:
This is the "Phoenix Manual," the authentic "Primordial Phoenix Manual." Only the royal family of the Primordial Phoenix Clan and a few specially permitted members of the Phoenix Clan can cultivate the authentic "Primordial Phoenix Manual." Could this little girl be a reincarnated Immortal King or Immortal Emperor from the Phoenix Clan?
