Originally, the Immaculate Realm's spatial structure couldn't withstand the mighty power of a Golden Core cultivator. However, now with the Immaculate Realm collapsing, Shangguan Ruolin couldn't care less. Displaying her full cultivation strength, she transformed into a beam of light and shot straight toward the Immaculate Mountain.
As the Immaculate Realm collapsed, it began to reconfigure and consolidate, gradually getting refined by silver runes.
Gazing at the sky full of silver runes, Shangguan Ruolin's eyebrows furrowed deeply. The runes gave her an unsettling feeling, seemingly on par with the Golden Light Divine Incantation passed down by the Great Fortune Sect.
Due to Shangguan Ruolin's Golden Core fluctuations, the refinement of the Immaculate Realm became sluggish. Some weaker spatial planes began to collapse directly. Sensing the anomaly in the Immaculate Realm, the blood-colored giant turned its two heads, and its vast divine sense swept out.
At that moment, Shangguan Ruolin, surrounded by floating white feathers and radiating a white glow, stood before the giant.
"Late stage of Core Formation! Who are you?"
The head occupied by Master Green Thunder questioned.
Standing proudly, Shangguan Ruolin felt the divine sense sweeping over her, hinting at the strength of the Core Formation stage. She coldly retorted, "I am the palace master of the Jade Sky Palace from Sky Palace Sect, Shangguan Ruolin. For both seniors to sacrifice all the living beings in the Immaculate Realm for their refining is quite ambitious!"
Green Thunder frowned, "Sky Palace Sect? How did the Sky Palace Sect come to the north of Great Cloud?"
The Devil Music angrily said, "Green Thunder, it doesn't matter who she is. Anyone who dares to interfere with our refining of the Immaculate Realm must die! Quickly slay this woman. Her Golden Core fluctuations are shaking the fragile foundation of the Immaculate Realm, which is detrimental to the refinement process!"
"Haha!" Shangguan Ruolin laughed coldly, "If your true bodies were here, I would've turned and left without a word. But to think a mere projection of your will wants to slay me! Let me see exactly what you two are refining!"
"Arrogant!"
In an instant, a blood-red hand manipulated by Master Green Thunder suppressed from the sky, unleashing devastating thunderbolts. Each bolt had the force to transform into a dragon. The thunderbolts pierced through the space of the Immaculate Realm, landing on its barren mountains, and exploded, creating shocking craters.
Inside the jade amulet, Shu Han watched in terror, the terrifying power causing him to break into a cold sweat. A Nascent Soul cultivator truly possessed the power to destroy heavens and earth!
Facing the thunderous prison descending from the sky, Shangguan Ruolin remained fearless. The Six Harmonies Silk Bracelet on her wrist lit up. Suddenly, thousands of threads surged out of the jade bracelet. Each thread, like a long spear, rose to the sky, cutting down countless thunderbolts and wrapping around that giant hand.
"Devil Music!"
The head of Devil Music immediately manipulated the other giant hand, moving from bottom to top, trying to capture Shangguan Ruolin.
Undaunted in the face of danger, Shangguan Ruolin pressed her left finger against the shimmering golden mark on her forehead, drawing out her life's Golden Core. Both the Six Harmonies Seal and the Hundred Phoenix Seal orbited her Golden Core. With a single downward point, the Golden Core, carrying two different seals, instantly stabilized the universe below.
At this moment, Shangguan Ruolin was trapped in a pincer attack. Master Green Thunder shouted, "An arrogant late-stage Core Formation? Those who haven't reached Nascent Soul are nothing but ants! Even if my true body isn't here, I can still suppress and kill you! Thunder Prison of Ten Thousand Calamities, descend!"
Boom!
The thunder above erupted once more, with lightning spreading downwards along the thousands of threads from the Six Harmonies Silken Bracelet. At the same time, the Devil Music Sect leader seized the opportunity, turning his dark magic into a ghostly hell. Countless fierce ghosts roared out, bypassing her suppressive Golden Core and climbing towards Shangguan Ruolin.
"Let's see what a mere late-stage Core Formation can do!"
Shangguan Ruolin bit her red lips, and her magic power surged explosively.
"Sky Palace Mysterious Secret! Phoenix Dances Nine Heavens!"
The intricate Six Harmonies Seal began to manifest around her, accompanied by the phantoms of wandering phoenixes. Both the seal and the phoenix phantom drilled into her forehead. In an instant, Shangguan Ruolin's cultivation skyrocketed multiple times, reaching the peak of late-stage Core Formation!
"Ha!"
The white feathered armor around her exploded with dazzling light waves, directly dispersing the descending thunderbolts and fierce ghosts. Under the terrifying surge of magic power, the Six Harmonies Silken Bracelet immediately wrapped around Master Green Thunder's large hand. The glowing threads rapidly contracted, tearing his hand into countless fragments. Below, her Golden Core's radiance intensified, shattering the ghostly hell and piercing through the palm of the Devil Music Sect leader.
"Ah!"
The blood-red giant staggered backward. With two Nascent Soul cultivator avatars joining forces, they were repelled by Shangguan Ruolin's single blow.
At this point, the process of refining the divine stone in the lake's heart also halted.
Shangguan Ruolin, with her Clear Bright Spiritual Eye, peered through the silver glyphs toward the heart of the lake's sacred stone. She observed the dark surface of the stone flaking away, revealing an inner radiant white halo. Channeling more magic power into her eyes, she finally managed to penetrate the blinding light. At its core lay an intangible, shapeless entity.
Suddenly, astonishment overtook Shangguan Ruolin.
"The Chaos Immortal Stone!"
At this moment, the Immaculate Realm, destabilized by the overwhelming power of Shangguan Ruolin's Golden Core, began to crumble. The silver glyphs could no longer hold back the collapse. Green Thunder and Devil's Melody exchanged anxious glances. They had never anticipated that their three-hundred-year plan would be disrupted by a woman.
Gazing upon the Chaos Immortal Stone, Shangguan Ruolin thought of Shu Han. Her Six Harmonies Bracelet immediately stretched its filaments towards the heart of the lake's stone. However, as the threads entered the glyphs, they met tremendous resistance.
The leader of the Devil Music Sect roared, "Hold back! If you dare to touch this Chaos Immortal Stone, neither heaven nor earth will save you!"
Shangguan Ruolin retorted coldly, "For mere early-stage Nascent Soul practitioners like yourselves to speak such words is audacious! The Sky Palace Sect will not be threatened by the likes of you!"
"Hold on!"
Master Green Thunder interjected, "Fellow daoist, I implore you to desist! Our intention to refine the Immaculate Realm into a treasure was not for our own gains. It was upon the request of someone far greater! You must not tamper with the Chaos Immortal Stone. Moreover, you cannot remove it. The Immaculate Realm has already been refined halfway."
Another figure?
A chill ran down Shangguan Ruolin's spine. For such a being to be acknowledged by these two Nascent Soul cultivators indicated an unimaginable level of prowess.
Halting the movement of her Six Harmonies Silk Bracelet, Shangguan Ruolin proposed, "In light of this, why not strike a bargain with me? I shall cease my interference in your refining of the Immaculate Realm. First, open the passage of the Immaculate Realm and allow me to depart."
A glimmer of hope sparkled in Master Green Thunder's heart. He, along with Devil's Melody, felt out of their depth dealing with this Core Formation maiden. It would be best to swiftly send her on her way. He promptly declared, "That can be arranged!"
Suddenly, a temporal portal manifested above Shangguan Ruolin. Yet, she remained motionless.
The leader of the Devil Music Sect fumed, "The portal is open for you, why do you not leave?"
Shangguan Ruolin replied with a smirk, "Did you think you could dismiss me so easily? I also demand a strand of the Chaos Immortal Stone!"
"What?!"
The Devil Music Sect's leader erupted in rage, "You're clearly courting death! Do you think you'll even make it out alive to use it?"
Shangguan Ruolin retorted with a cold chuckle, "I never jest. A mere strand of the Chaos Immortal Stone, which won't interfere with the core of your refining process. Once I have the celestial stone, I will depart immediately. If not, we can test the resilience of your Immaculate Realm and see if it can withstand our repeated clashes. After all, I have all the time in the world to wear you down."
