Lu Lingxiao battled waves of challengers in the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm, swiftly defeating three Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators using their Combined Attack Secret Skill and narrowly overcoming a False Core Immortal through his Vermilion Bird Sky-Scorching Art and Son of Heaven’s Qi Observation Technique. Spectators marveled at his prodigious strength, recognizing him as the Young City Lord of Great Dream Immortal City, while he sustained injuries but pressed on, defeating six Qingyun Sect cultivators amid growing fatigue. Deeming the fights insufficient for true transformation, Lu Lingxiao urged Lu Wangshu to escalate, leading her to issue an ultimatum to the remaining cultivators: surrender their storage bags or face defeat, sparking a chaotic battle fueled by envy over his amassed trophies.

Seeing the unfolding events, Qin Yi, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Chensha, and the rest quickly called forth their Spiritual Artifacts, poised for battle.

"Big sister-in-law, Qingxuan, Chensha... everyone, take charge of the formation."

With a glance toward them, Lu Wangshu spoke, unwilling to drag the whole Lu Family into this clash over the Secret Realm.

As words were exchanged, the talismanic weapon [Ninety-Nine Mysterious True Strategy] appeared, morphing into thirty-six thousand Profound Truth Talismans that encircled her form.

Right then, the Talisman Brush she held suddenly dotted the air, causing the talisman under her ink to rapidly break apart.

"Big sister-in-law, don't worry, Wangshu always acts with full confidence, so if she's choosing this path, there's definitely a purpose behind it."

Spotting Lu Lingxiao, Lu Qingxuan discerned his presence and vaguely understood Lu Wangshu's intentions, sending this message to Qin Yi.

"Alright."

A slight nod came from Qin Yi, though her grip remained firm on the Flying Sword, prepared to intervene should the situation turn dire.

Beside her, Lu Linghe and Lu Xuanqian stood equally ready to jump into the fray at a moment's notice.

Yet Lu Chensha, witnessing Lu Wangshu's flair for chaos and her bold solo fight beside Lu Lingxiao, could only shake his head in dismay.

He resolved to keep his distance from this sister moving forward, steering clear of any extra headaches.

Right now, Lu Lingxiao clashed against several foes on the field, locked in a brutal skirmish, unleashing everything without holding back, armored in vibrant Red Gold.

Lu Wangshu brandished her Talisman Brush, furiously drawing Talismans, with thirty-six thousand Profound Truth Talismans whirling around her. As enemies drew near, a handful of Talismans launched out to ease the burden on Lu Lingxiao.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Before, Lu Lingxiao had pushed to his limits but held back from slaying anyone.

Now, with all restraints gone, the Dragon Roar Origin fully erupted, and the Golden Fire Vine Tree hurled a side-attacking Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator backward, blood spraying as he fled in alarm.

Still, he absorbed a strike from the oncoming False Core Immortal, coughing up blood and reeling away, his dark locks flying wildly.

"Vermilion Bird Sky-Scorching Art!"

Lu Lingxiao's cry rang out like a dragon's thunder and phoenix's song, making several opponents shudder as he pressed his assault.

In the heat of this chaotic brawl, he couldn't employ the Son of Heaven’s Golden Eyes to detect mana currents, vulnerabilities, or openings, opting instead to rely on pure battle instincts without that Divine Skill.

His once-noble appearance was lost now, thick hair a tangled mess, as he swung the Golden Fire Vine Tree to counter the False Core cultivator’s Magical Treasures.

"Impressive skill!"

The False Core Cultivator bellowed, locked in relentless combat with Lu Lingxiao, though he too avoided fatal strikes.

After all, no one with sense could deny Lu Lingxiao's extraordinary talent.

And through Lu Wangshu, many had already pieced together who Lu Lingxiao truly was.

In this setup, inflicting serious harm was acceptable, but outright murder was off-limits!

"Swoosh!"

A razor-sharp sword beam streaked toward Lu Lingxiao's head, but his eyes blazed like rising sun and moon, shooting forth twin golden rays that shattered every Qi flow.

Next, golden Divine Light poured from his left hand, which snapped out to seize the Spiritual Artifact right in his grasp!

Immortal Bone [All Techniques are Perpetual]!

This not only amplified his left hand's might, shielding it from all sorts of techniques, but also boosted the velocity and force of his every move!

Furthermore, with Lu Lingxiao's Foundation Establishment Peak realm enhanced by Second Rank Late Stage Physique, the All Techniques are Perpetual Bone let him snatch the Flying Sword with his bare hand!

"Grabbing a top-level Spiritual Artifact with bare hands!"

"This this this!!!"

Folks had previously spotted the oddity in Lu Lingxiao’s left hand, hinting at some Secret Technique cultivation.

But no one foresaw it challenging top-level Spiritual Artifacts head-on—this was downright shocking.

The onlookers froze in awe at the feat.

Even nearby Qin Yi, Lu Qingxuan, and the others showed the same stunned reaction.

"Is this the divide between the ordinary and the true geniuses...?"

The False Core Elder battling Lu Lingxiao felt a profound shock, sensing the vast chasm between himself and prodigies like Lu Lingxiao.

Though he matched Lu Lingxiao blow for blow, or even edged ahead, it all stemmed from his superior cultivation level.

Yet in a fair duel, he fell short against Lu Lingxiao.

Still, shaking off his awe, he channeled every bit of mana through his body, seizing the opening as a ruler-like Magical Treasure crashed down like lightning, forcing Lu Lingxiao to stumble, blood rising in his mouth.

Forcing the blood down, he activated a secret method to burn his vital essence, gripping the Golden Fire Vine Tree in his left hand for a devastating strike against the False Core Elder, gaining the upper hand fiercely.

Spotting her brother teetering on the edge of loss, Lu Wangshu's Talisman Brush dashed a point, positioning Talismans across her vision to block off nearby cultivators.

But the disturbance had drawn even more Secret Realm cultivators into the mix.

They assessed the scene, noting Lu Lingxiao's imminent fall, and figured taking down Lu Wangshu would net them the Secret Realm Token, so they skipped him to target her directly.

"Hmph, do you take this lady for some pushover?"

Fresh into the Secret Realm with spirits soaring, Lu Wangshu had no plans to mask her power, and hiding it was impossible anyway.

As hordes of cultivators closed in, the Profound Origin Bead in her Qi Ocean Core quivered violently, making the encircling Talismans dissolve wildly to trap a swarm of them.

"Not good, the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family’s Talisman Formation!"

"No matter how mighty the Talisman Formation, it can't hold all of us!"

"Break!"

These cultivators were no pushovers, and despite Lu Wangshu's pre-set Talisman Formation, she felt the strain of fatigue.

But the instant after, her palm brushed the sachet on her waist, then she flung it lightly, fingers weaving signs.

"Whizz whizz whizz——"

Suddenly, the paper figures morphed into fierce warriors with blank stares, their forms etched with countless complex runes.

"Talisman Soldiers!?"

Catching sight of these paper soldier figures, someone cried out in shock, faces filled with confusion.
