Roar!

The Azure Dragon roared toward the sky as it spat out dragon flames that directly smashed towards the visitors' faces.

The Daoist priests who rushed in were shocked.

When they saw the Azure Dragon, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.

"That's a divine beast, right? A true dragon?"

"Is it really a true dragon?"

"Aren't true dragons extinct in our era?"

"Why did this azure dragon attack us for no reason?"

The higher-ups of the four Daoist sects shouted angrily.

They were furious and annoyed.

A Daoist priest of the Boundless Realm took a step forward.

A domain appeared around him.

His domain directly covered the sky and blocked the dragon flames.

But in the very next moment, the Azure Dragon's dragon claw smashed down.

Boom!

The Daoist priest's body trembled.

His domain quivered along with his body.

Fortunately, it didn't shatter, but the impact still made him vomit blood.

"What?"

The Boundless Realm Daoist priest looked at the Azure Dragon in fury.

"Let's attack it together. This azure dragon's strength isn't that strong." The Boundless Realm expert of another sect solemnly suggested.

At this moment, they temporarily put aside their grudges.

They wanted to let the relic break out of its seal.

Hence, the people from the four great traditional Dao sects wanted to join forces to defeat Lin Jiufeng.

But before they could even join forces, the White Tiger directly rushed out of the array formation. It soared into the sky towards them as it moved at breakneck speeds. Its teeth were very sharp and its claws were terrifyingly powerful as it pounced over at them.

"The Azure Dragon, and the White Tiger!"

The Dao Sects members were shocked by the might of the White Tiger.

As soon as it came out of the array formation, it directly charged over at them.

A Perfected One from one of the Daoist sects stepped out and activated his domain to resist the White Tiger with all his might.

But the Vermillion Bird followed closely behind.

It roared toward the sky. Its body was powerful, and it landed down with its powerful flames.

The surrounding area immediately became a sea of flames!

Fortunately, the common people in the area had already made their retreat in advance.

Otherwise, most of them would be dead by now.

"The Azure Dragon, the Vermillion Bird, and the White Tiger…" A Boundless Realm cultivator stepped out to resist the Vermillion Bird. Using his own domain, he swallowed the sea of fire and forced it to burn inside his domain.

He endured the pain and mumbled.

"It's good that the Black Tortoise isn't here. If not, then we would be facing the four divine beasts all at once…"

Dong!

As soon as his words fell, a Black Tortoise as big as a small mountain walked out of the array formation.

The Black Tortoise appeared.

Its claw descended.

The air itself ruptured as the claw moved through the air.

Space itself froze when the claw landed.

Even Boundless Realm experts found it difficult to walk.

They felt as if the world's gravity had increased by hundreds or thousands of times.

The people of the Dao Sects tried their best to hold on.

Another Boundless Realm cultivator stood out.

He gritted his teeth and decided to endure the brunt of the Black Tortoise's attack as he soared toward the sky.

"So what if they are the Four Great Divine Beasts? They are all illusions! They are illusions born from this array formation. If we kill the person operating this array formation, these beasts will disappear. We must find and kill him!"

This time, it was the Boundless Realm powerhouse from the Quan Zhen Sect who shouted.

The four great traditional Dao sects all had Boundless Realms experts to fight against the divine beasts.

As the battle continued, the experts found out that these four divine beasts weren't that strong compared to what they had initially expected.

This revelation greatly boosted the morale of the four great traditional Dao sects.

"There's someone behind that array formation. He must be the mastermind. We must go in and kill him!" A Boundless Realm cultivator from the Quan Zhen Sect shouted.

"Let me handle it!" A Daoist priest rushed out from the Quan Zhen Sect.

He was holding a sword in his hand.

Every attack from his sword was filled with sharp killing intent.

He rushed into the array formation and drew his sword, wanting to kill Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng didn't even look at him. He just moved his fingers.

Pu!

A sharp sword energy directly penetrated this powerhouse of the Quan Zhen Sect.

The sword penetrated his glabella.

Not only that, but the sword energy's momentum also destroyed the Daoist priest's Divine Soul.

Despite all of that, the sword energy still had its momentum as its powerful force directly carried the fallen Daoist priest away from the array formation.

The corpse crashed heavily onto the ground.

This Daoist priest returned as fast as he went in.

Moreover, his death seemed to be very peaceful.

He didn't seem to have suffered an injury that directly caused his death.

In fact, he didn't even realize that he was already dead.

He still had that look of excitement on his face before he ventured into the array formation.

The members of the Dao Sects were shocked.

"That's Daoist Priest Kangwei from the Quan Zhen Sect!"

"He's half-step into the Boundless Realm!"

"Even an expert half-step into the Boundless Realm failed?"

The mastermind behind all of these must be at the Boundless Realm!"

"Let's send two people inside this time! Let's see who this mastermind is!" The people from the Zenith Heaven Path Sect coldly snorted.

Their Zenith Heaven Path Sect had three Boundless Realm experts. One of them was blocking the Vermillion Bird, and the other two flew together into the array formation.

Their goal was—of course—to kill Lin Jiufeng.

Once Lin Jiufeng died, the array formation would deactivate.

The four divine beasts would completely disappear without a trace.

The two Boundless Realms rushed over together.

Their auras were boundless, and they were both from the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.

Their minds were connected…

Furthermore, their high degree of coordination was surely enough to threaten anyone.

But Lin Jiufeng remained calm.

These two Boundless Realm experts weren't that powerful in his eyes.

They had just recently entered the Boundless Realm.

Compared to Lin Jiufeng, the difference between them wasn't trivial.

They rushed over aggressively as they executed their cultivation techniques.

A powerful Dao Ancestor phantom condensed and came boring down.

A sword came from the west, slashing through the clouds to kill Lin Jiufeng.

In the eyes of the common people, these two people were definitely powerful.

But in front of Lin Jiufeng, they weren't worth mentioning at all.

Lin Jiufeng only moved and flicked his finger.

Everything came to an end.

A sword light, with an aura that seemed incredibly familiar to the Daoist priests, burst out.

Lin Jiufeng used the Northern Mountains Sutra.

It was the Daoist Scripture that the Daoist priests yearned for all their lives.

At this moment, a sword technique recorded in the Northern Mountains Sutra revealed its might as it rushed over toward the two Daoist priests.

Boom!

In the next second, the two great Boundless Realm experts were sent flying.

A sword energy directly cut off a part of their body, though the part that was cut off was different between the two of them.

One hand and one leg.

The limbs of two great Boundless Realm experts were severed by Lin Jiufeng.

And as if they were struck by lightning, Lin Jiufeng's terrifying aura alone forced them out of the array formation.

Similar to the one that died just now, they came out as fast as they went in.

Two Boundless Realm experts of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect rushed in and were then instantly defeated.

One of them had his arm sliced off, and the other had his leg from the thigh down cut off.

"You… Who exactly are you?" This time, the surrounding Daoist priests could not remain calm any longer. But some of them managed to retain their rationality as they immediately questioned after recovering from their surprise.

"Who I am isn't important…" Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

"Then why are you stopping us from doing what we want?" A Daoist priest was indignant

"Everything here belongs to the Northern Mountains Race, not to anyone else," Lin Jiufeng replied from the fog.

"The Northern Mountains Race will surely not be able to protect such a relic, isn't it only reasonable for us to take it away so they can be spared from the trouble? Also, what you are taking away from us is a relic from our Dao sects' founder…"

"How could it not belong to us?" Another Daoist priest chimed in.

"It's something that belonged to your ancestor. You're right—"

Before Lin Jiufeng could finish speaking, however, a Daoist priest said loudly, "You think it's reasonable too, right? You must help us then. Take this formation away and open the seal. We both know there are many treasures inside."

"You lot may want this relic, but I've already sealed it."

"Only after 100 years will you lot have a chance to unseal it again."

Lin Jiufeng added coldly.

In other words, Lin Jiufeng was trying to postpone the relic's emergence into the world for 100 years.

"What?"

"How dare you!"

"That's something that our ancestor left for us, yet you've sealed it? Says who?!"

"Young man, you have just turned us—the four great traditional Dao sects—into your enemies."
