Wan Ming was struck by the terrifying sword light, his body felt like it had been struck by lightning, and he spat blood wildly from his mouth, as his entire being flew backward like a kite with a broken string for hundreds of zhang.

The protective flame armor was completely shattered, turning into sparks that scattered into the vast air.

A horrific wound appeared on his chest, the flesh flipped outward, and blood gushed out like a spring, instantly dyeing a large part of his clothes red.

Fortunately, despite suffering such a heavy blow, Wan Ming did not injure his vital points and retained the ability to continue fighting.

"Just a little bit... just a bit more!"

Wan Ming steadied himself and laughed heartily to the sky, his tone unexpectedly filled with delight.

"Alas, in the end... I still couldn't protect the sect..."

Seeing that his last trump card could not kill Wan Ming, Yun Chengzi sighed helplessly.

His breath quickly weakened, and his face turned as white as paper without a trace of blood, his body swayed precariously.

Unleashing the purple giant sword and then activating the "Immortal Slaying Talisman", this series of moves exhausted a large amount of his Spiritual Power and blood essence, making him incapable of continuing the battle at this moment!

"Luoyun Sect will not perish!"

A Foundation Establishment disciple of the Luoyun Sect, with eyes red as blood and determined to die, charged resolutely into the Hu Country cultivator group, directly detonating his own Mana.

With a loud explosion, several Foundation Establishment cultivators were killed or injured.

Luoyun Immortal City announced its fall, and many disciples loyal to the Luoyun Sect chose to desperately seek mutual destruction in an attempt to delay the advance of Hu Country's army.

However, such brave, fatal disciples were indeed a minority, most chose to flee hastily when the Array of Luoyun Immortal City was breached.

Just as everyone was certain that the Luoyun Sect was doomed, and Hu Country's army was about to drive straight in and flatten the sect, an unexpected twist suddenly occurred!

Deep within Luoyun Sect, a column of Spiritual Power light soared to the heavens, its brilliance dazzling and illuminating the entire sky.

Visible clearly for thousands of li!

This vast and majestic wave of Spiritual Power spread with the force of overturning mountains, causing changes in the heavens and storms.

What was once a gloomy and oppressive sky was instantly torn open, and warm sunlight cascaded down like a waterfall.

"This... this is a sign of breaking through to the Nascent Soul!" Exclaimed a sharp-eyed cultivator.

"How could it be!"

Wan Ming stared at this scene, suddenly dumbstruck.

Being a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator himself, he naturally knew that this was not merely a sign of breaking through to the Nascent Soul; it clearly had successfully reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

After expending so many resources and effort, could it all end in vain?

"Hahaha... the heavens have not abandoned my Luoyun Sect!"

Witnessing this, Yun Chengzi's eyes shone with unprecedented brilliance, and he laughed excitedly to the sky.

...

...

Thousand Leaves Mountain, within the cultivation room.

Xu Ping held the talisman brush, his expression focused, as unique runes slowly formed on the third-rank talisman paper.

As the tip of the brush moved, Spiritual Power was continuously injected into the talisman through the brush, the runes seemed to come to life, flickering with a gentle glow.

As the runes gradually took shape, the surrounding Spiritual Qi seemed summoned, gathering towards the talisman.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Xu Ping's forehead, but his gaze remained steadfast and calm, watching the talisman closely and not missing a single detail.

Finally, as the last stroke was completed, a perfect third-rank talisman appeared before him.

The runes on the talisman shone brightly, then gradually retracted, and a discreet yet potent force emanated from the talisman.

"The Golden Armor-Breaking Talisman is finally successfully crafted!" Xu Ping exhaled deeply and smiled contently.

Though he had exhausted all of his third-rank talisman paper to craft this Golden Armor-Breaking Talisman, all the effort was worthwhile.

With the aid of the proficiency panel, his success rate in crafting talismans would surely skyrocket as his skill improved.

"The power of Geng Metal within... so strong!"

Xu Ping carefully held the Golden Armor-Breaking Talisman in his hands, the powerful force contained within made him secretly amazed.

Even before activation, he could feel a slight tingling on his skin.

If this talisman were fully activated, its power would be unimaginable!

With his current strength, he certainly couldn't withstand it.

Having three or four Golden Armor-Breaking Talismans would surely annihilate an Early Stage Golden Core and heavily wound a Middle Stage of Golden Core.

"But the third-rank Spirit Wood has already been used up, time to purchase some from the Song family again!" Xu Ping thought to himself.

Previously, Song Qiwu approached him to buy third-rank talismans, which he declined by saying he hadn't crafted them yet.

If he were to seek out Song Qiwu for third-rank Spirit Wood now, he feared the latter would use it as a bargaining chip to once again ask him to sell third-rank talismans.

Whether to sell or not is indeed a tricky issue.

"Master... Duan Shuang and Gong Yang have matters to discuss!"

Just as Xu Ping was pondering, Water Lake Mouse's Divine Sense voice transmission passed through the wall and reached his ears.

"Duan Shuang and Gong Yang?"

"Invite them both inside, to the pavilion!"

Xu Ping flipped his palm lightly, and the Golden Armor-Breaking Talisman instantly vanished.

He then tidied his robe and calmly walked out of the cultivation room.

...

...

In the pavilion.

"What!"

Upon hearing Gong Yang's message, Xu Ping's eyes widened in disbelief, "The sect leader of Luoyun Sect, Jiang Jingxing, actually broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm?"

This is a Nascent Soul cultivator!

In Yue Country, that equates to heaven!
