Chapter 1206: Flying Ascension Light

Even the female cultivator couldn't help but blanch as the top-grade sixth-tier Primal Chaos Bell came crashing down.

Her entire body, clad in glacial jade armor, radiated a deep blue light. The surrounding void instantly froze, and the descending Primal Chaos Bell also began to slow, though it continued its descent. While Ice and Snow World was also a Sacred Land in Eastern Continent, it did not possess a powerful Dharma artifact comparable to the Primal Chaos Bell.

Realizing this, the female cultivator's expression wavered, and she began to consider retreating to the Ice-Sealed Mausoleum.

Within the mausoleum, she could rely on the Three Yin Annihilation Array, left by Grandmaster Extreme Yin, to gain a tactical advantage and withstand the Primal Chaos Bell.

However, just as she made a move, Chen Mobai's true form waved a large hand. Taking advantage of her full concentration on blocking the Primal Chaos Bell, he cast his Dharma Realm. In an instant, the world shifted, and the female cultivator suddenly found herself on a barren land beneath a five-colored sky.

"Oh!"

The female cultivator's face showed surprise and doubt. She activated the power of her Dao Fruit, attempting to open a path back to the Ice-Sealed Mausoleum, but found she couldn't sense it.

"What is this place?"

The female cultivator was finally shocked. Throughout her life, she had traversed the five continents and four seas, yet she had never encountered such a situation.

It was important to note that she had another refined Dao Fruit within the Ice-Sealed Mausoleum, which she could sense as long as she was still within the Tianhe Realm. But now, that connection was completely severed.

"I wonder if you've ever heard of a Dharma Realm?"

Two Chen Mobais descended from the sky, landing one to her left and one to her right. The true form, holding the Primal Chaos Bell in his left hand, smiled as he spoke.

"A Dharma Realm! You truly are a Spirit Transformation cultivator from the Grand Void Ethereal Palace!"

Upon hearing this, the female cultivator dredged the term from her distant memories.

This was one of the Grand Void Ethereal Palace's supreme divine abilities. However, during the era when she roamed the Tianhe Realm, no Spirit Transformation cultivator had mastered it, so she hadn't considered it. After realizing it was a Dharma Realm, the female cultivator confirmed Chen Mobai's identity and background, her expression growing solemn.

As a Sacred Land in the Central Continent, the Grand Void Ethereal Palace was the top power in the Tianhe Realm, boasting a double-digit number of Spirit Transformation True Monarchs at its peak.

Even within such a powerful Sacred Land, those who mastered the Dharma Realm were few and far between, signifying a true inheritor of the Grand Void's authentic teachings.

"No, I am the Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect in the Eastern Continent." When traveling, Chen Mobai always stated his true identity. However, after hearing this, the female cultivator frowned and shook her head directly. "Five Elements Sect? Never heard of it!"

"May I ask if you are True Monarch Suiyu?"

Chen Mobai wasn't angered by this. Instead, he asked, noting that if she was indeed True Monarch Suiyu, then even True Monarch Yiyuan hadn't been born in her time.

"That was my title during my lifetime."

Now that she understood Chen Mobai's strength, the female cultivator was willing to converse.

"During your lifetime? It seems your lifespan indeed ended. Yet, from what I observe, you don't appear to be maintaining your presence through the Corpse Deliverance method. It seems you've forged another path to immortality." The female cultivator did not answer Chen Mobai's remark, clearly indicating it touched upon her deepest secret.

"Since you're unwilling to elaborate, then we can only settle this with our hands."

As Chen Mobai spoke, he had already manipulated the Dharma Realm, transforming the environment around the female cultivator into a volcanic eruption, the most restrictive form against her.

With a deafening roar, the earth suddenly cracked open, and scorching hot magma erupted from deep within, like a towering pillar of fire, engulfing the female cultivator. However, in just a few breaths, the magma, potent enough to melt mountains, had already been frozen solid.

With a cracking sound, the female cultivator, her face icy, burst out of the frozen magma and coldly declared to Chen Mobai, "Even if you have mastered the Dharma Realm, you will still die today." As she spoke, she made a sweeping cut with her hand.

A deep blue moonlight, like a blade, carrying a chilling aura that could freeze all things, descended before Chen Mobai. His second primordial spirit, seeing this, activated the Primordial Yang Sword Art and unleashed the Enduring Peace Sword Intent.

Brilliant golden sword light clashed with the deep blue moonlight in mid-air, erupting in a roar of ice and fire within the Dharma Realm. One half of the sky froze, while the other was dyed in golden-red hues. However, after her first strike, the female cultivator unleashed three more slashes in quick succession.

Within the chill that could freeze all things, there seemed to be a vitality suggesting the revival of all creation. This showed her profound understanding of the Great Dao, possessing multiple Dao powers like Chen Mobai, perfectly fused to form powerful divine abilities best suited for herself.

In response, Chen Mobai didn't attempt to contend with the female cultivator using the Primordial Yang Sword Art. He directly manifested the Yiyuan Incarnation from his Primal Chaos Dao Fruit. With a resounding clang, the deep, sonorous bell chime echoed throughout the Dharma Realm.

Only in the hands of the Yiyuan Incarnation could the full power of the Primal Chaos Bell be unleashed.

Although the female cultivator's attributes like ice and pure yin were not within the five elements, they were still suppressed by the Primal Chaos Bell.

The three deep blue moonlight blades, just as they reached Chen Mobai, were annihilated by the power of the Primal Chaos Dao, transforming into the purest Five Elements Qi and merging into the surrounding void of the Dharma Realm.

"What Dao is this?"

Witnessing this, the female cultivator couldn't help but ask.

"This is the Primal Chaos Dao passed down by our sect's patriarch, True Monarch Yiyuan. Speaking of which, if it weren't for your pioneering of the Eastern Desolation back then, I might not have achieved what I have today," Chen Mobai said, suddenly recalling something with a touch of emotion.

"Eastern Desolation? There's a Sacred Land there now?"

Hearing Chen Mobai's words, the female cultivator understood his meaning and was slightly surprised.

"Indeed, the Eastern Desolation is the auspicious land where my sect rose. Our patriarch, True Monarch Yiyuan, was a descendant of the frontier cultivators. He obtained the inheritance of the ancient Immortality Sect in the Eastern Desolation, eventually mastered the Primal Chaos Dao, ascended to the Void Refinement realm and then to immortality, leaving behind our lineage."

Chen Mobai briefly explained the origin of the Five Elements Sect, omitting any mention of the Yiyuan Dao Palace. "If I had known this, I should have shattered the Eastern Desolation with a single palm back then!"

The female cultivator, however, spoke with an icy expression.

"It seems, Daoist friend, that you truly intend to fight me to the death." Chen Mobai sighed upon hearing her response.

He had originally considered True Monarch Suiyu's past actions of suppressing the locust plague and pioneering the Eastern Desolation, hoping to have a peaceful discussion with her to avoid conflict. But it seemed she was supremely confident and showed no mercy, completely ignoring the olive branch he extended.

At this thought, Chen Mobai no longer held back.

The Yiyuan Incarnation directly unleashed the power of the Primal Chaos Bell. Amidst its echoing chimes, a gray airflow surged from the jade bell's edge, carrying a terrifying aura capable of annihilating all things, and descended upon the female cultivator.

After emerging from the Purple Xiao Palace, Chen Mobai's understanding of all the Great Daos he had comprehended had advanced to a higher level. The Primal Chaos Bell also benefited from this, now able to unleash even greater power.

If Chen Mobai were to fight the old Flood Dragon again now, he felt he could slay it much faster.

However, the female cultivator before him had attempted Void Refinement in her lifetime, so he didn't lower his guard. This strike had already pushed the Yiyuan Incarnation to its peak state. Yet, facing his move, the female cultivator's expression remained calm. Suddenly, her snow-white hands interlaced their fingers at her chest, forming a mysterious seal.

As the seal formed, the blue moon on her brow suddenly glowed with a deep blue, almost silvery-black light. Then, as if a seal had been broken, a terrifying power of the Great Dao, one that made even Chen Mobai's expression change, surged forth, merging with the female cultivator's body clad in glacial jade armor, abruptly breaking through its limits.

A resounding hum vibrated!

The void of the Dharma Realm began to twist and tremble with the female cultivator's breath. Control over the void was being contested.

As the master of the Dharma Realm, Chen Mobai certainly possessed absolute control over its void. However, if a Void Refinement cultivator entered it, this control would be shaken.

If he himself were also at the Void Refinement stage, this problem naturally wouldn't exist.

However, Chen Mobai's own cultivation was only at the Spirit Transformation stage. Therefore, after the female cultivator unleashed Void Refinement power, the Dharma Realm's void began to waver. If Chen Mobai hadn't already comprehended the Spatial Great Dao and wasn't himself a Void Spirit Body, he would likely have been stripped of control long ago. Even so, Chen Mobai felt he couldn't hold on for much longer.

"You've actually reached Void Refinement? Why haven't you ascended?"

While contemplating a way to break the deadlock, he spoke to the female cultivator.

"I have my reasons for not ascending, which you are not qualified to know. You only need to know that you are about to die." After unsealing her Dao Fruit, the female cultivator felt an unprecedented surge of vast Dao power within her, and her eyes grew exceptionally cold.

She raised her right hand and punched the descending Primal Chaos Bell. There was a dull clang.

The power of the Primal Chaos Dao was scattered, and the Primal Chaos Bell vibrated, flying back. However, the female cultivator was also not unscathed; her arm was directly fractured.

Yet, she paid no attention to it. Using her other hand, she reset her right arm, and with the blessing of Pure Yin Dao power, it instantly returned to an unblemished state. Witnessing this, Chen Mobai knew that this fight could definitely not continue today.

"Daoist friend, this is all a misunderstanding..."

No sooner had he spoken than the female cultivator charged at him with a cold smile.

Having just witnessed her single-handedly shake the Primal Chaos Bell, Chen Mobai dared not let her get close. He immediately invoked the power of the Dharma Realm, shifting his true form to another location. During this process, Chen Mobai had also devised a method to deal with the female cultivator.

"Although the Dharma Realm is formidable, you are ultimately only at Spirit Transformation. Today, I will freeze your Dharma Realm solid, turning it into your tomb."

In her lifetime, the female cultivator had also fought with Spirit Transformation cultivators from the Grand Void Ethereal Palace. She knew that if someone from that lineage wanted to escape, she would have to predict their spatial teleportation path in advance and use Dao power to freeze it, only then might she block them.

But in that case, one failed prediction would allow the opponent to flee a thousand li away.

Therefore, she intended to directly use a large-scale freezing divine ability, completely freezing the entire Dharma Realm along with its void. This way, Chen Mobai would have no escape route.

As she spoke, the blue moon imprint on the female cultivator's brow detached and transformed into a full blue moon. In mere breaths, immense freezing power surged forth, spreading to every inch of the Dharma Realm.

But at this moment, Chen Mobai waved his hand and retracted the Dharma Realm. *Creak!*

In an instant, the blue moon ascended above the bitterly cold northwestern region of the Eastern Continent, freezing all the illuminated mountains, forests, rivers, and land, transforming them into a silent world of ice and snow.

The female cultivator stood tall and proud on the snowy white land, her eyes radiating cold killing intent as she saw Chen Mobai, who had been forced out and revealed his form nearby due to the frozen void. *Rumble!*

But at this moment, above the Nine Heavens, the terrifyingly immense Ascension Tribulation had already reacted to her presence! Seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

However, the memory of Yuan Qingque slaughtering the three Spirit Transformation cultivators, including True Monarch Mingzun, like cutting vegetables before her ascension flashed through his mind, making his nerves tense up again.

"When the Ascension Aura descends before me, I will freeze you to dust."

The female cultivator clearly had the same intention. She raised her right hand, clenching it into a fist, and instantly teleported before Chen Mobai. After reaching Void Refinement, she naturally gained mastery over various spatial manipulation techniques.

Furthermore, outside the Dharma Realm, Chen Mobai could not compete with her for control over the void.

As the female cultivator's punch was about to hit his forehead, Chen Mobai remained incredibly calm.

The Primal Chaos Bell descended from the sky, expanding to two meters in diameter. Like a meteor, it enveloped the female cultivator in front of Chen Mobai and crashed heavily onto the ground. Amidst the thunderous roar, the bell's walls constantly trembled, and even its jade body became covered in a layer of frost.

But even a Void Refinement cultivator could not easily break free from a top-grade sixth-tier Dharma artifact in a short time.

Seizing the time gained by the Primal Chaos Bell, Chen Mobai activated the Power of Final Demise that had emerged within him after annihilating Pluto. The moment the Power of Final Demise surged forth, the surrounding void, which had been frozen solid, instantly dissolved.

With a mighty clang, the Yiyuan Incarnation, holding down the Primal Chaos Bell, could no longer endure and was sent flying from the fractured ground.

After the female cultivator lifted the Primal Chaos Bell, she instantly teleported again to stand before Chen Mobai, delivering a heavy punch to his forehead. However, this punch struck empty air.

Amidst a flash of silver light, Chen Mobai had already vanished from his spot.

The female cultivator's eyes flashed, and the surrounding void was once again frozen solid. However, Chen Mobai had already seized the opportunity to escape into his own Dharma Realm. At this very moment, five-colored auspicious light began to descend.

This was the Ascension Aura.

If one were enveloped by it, they would be forced to ascend to the Lingkong Immortal Realm and undergo the Nine Heavenly Tribulations.

But clearly, the female cultivator had no intention of ascending, as her Void Refinement realm was incomplete, and undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation risked complete annihilation.

"Consider yourself lucky!"

The female cultivator clicked her tongue and waved her hand, intending to open the Ice-Sealed Mausoleum and hide within the Three Yin Annihilation Array. This would not only conceal her vital essence but also reseal her Void Refinement realm and power. However, just as her Dao power surged forth, the Yiyuan Incarnation, which had been suddenly knocked away, flew back, once again wielding the Primal Chaos Bell.

Amidst a deafening clang, the Primal Chaos Dao, the Power of Final Demise, and the Spatial Great Dao erupted simultaneously.

While dissolving the Dao power around the female cultivator, they also resealed the just-opened spatial portal for an instant. It was precisely this instant that allowed the Ascension Aura to descend and envelop the female cultivator's entire body.

Her expression drastically changed!
