Jin Zhanyi roared with laughter, "Brothers of the Twin Demons, this venue is too small. Shall we take this battle outside?"

The Great Demon snorted in disdain, "What skill is it if you flee without a fight?"

Gao Weiliang and the others exchanged glances, completely baffled by what the two were planning.

Jin Zhanyi chuckled slyly, "You even deployed the Seamless Sky (Tian Yi Wu Feng). Can't our two brothers switch locations for a duel?"

The Qilian Twin Demons were instantly struck dumb. Everyone present had witnessed the preceding scene. Without that miraculous artifact, the Seamless Sky, the Qilian Twin Demons would likely have been crushed into dust long ago, rather than standing here, unharmed and speaking.

A domain that could so easily paralyze even the Five Elements Reincarnation Flower (Wu Xing Lun Hui Zhi Hua) was certainly not something mere physical bodies could withstand.

Since they had already resorted to such a heaven-defying treasure, the suggestion by Jin Zhanyi and his brother to change the venue for their contest seemed entirely reasonable.

The Qilian Twin Demons exchanged a look. Although they knew that if the suggestion had been made, the chosen location would undoubtedly favor the proposer's strengths, they no longer had any room to refuse.

After all, as renowned masters who had held their ground for over two centuries, they lacked the sheer shamelessness to voice an objection in this situation.

With a cold snort, the Great Demon commanded, "Lead the way."

He Yiming and his companion nodded to each other, turned, and exited the entrance, sprinting toward the exterior of the high tower. The Qilian Twin Demons followed without hesitation. Though their hearts were filled with intense apprehension, and they had heightened their vigilance to the absolute maximum, their outward demeanor betrayed not an ounce of concern.

The masters gathered on the seventh floor exchanged glances. Gao Weiliang gave a wry smile and waved a large hand, "Let them all go."

Upon receiving his permission, everyone rose and trailed after them.

The ensuing combat had already proven to be spectacularly brilliant. Though not yet concluded, it had made a profound impact on every observer. Given even the slightest possibility, not a single person would choose to abandon watching.

In the blink of an eye, only three Venerables and Miss Qiu remained on the entire seventh floor.

Miss Qiu stayed behind because she possessed self-awareness; relying solely on the power of the two Venerable martial uncles beside her, she would have absolutely no chance of keeping up with Jin Zhanyi and the others on her own.

Fan Shuo stood up, a flicker of hesitation crossing his face before he finally asked, "Brother Gao, is that He Yiming truly from the Northwest Heavenly Pool (Xibei Tianchi)?"

"That is correct."

Fan Shuo’s eyes brightened. He spoke slowly and deliberately, "Has he... reached the Venerable Realm?"

Gao Weiliang initially wanted to deny it outright, but the image of that unbelievable domain suddenly flashed through his mind.

After a moment of contemplation, he offered a wry smile, "Brother Fan, you are knowledgeable and your sight is sharp. Can you not discern it yourself?"

Fan Shuo retorted testily, "It is precisely because I cannot discern it that I must ask explicitly whether he has already advanced to the Venerable Realm and is merely feigning weakness here."

Gao Weiliang's expression grew serious, and he finally shook his head, "He is not a Venerable." Looking up under Fan Shuo's suspicious gaze, he continued, "Brother Fan, which Venerable do you imagine would have the leisure to amuse themselves with the youngsters down below?"

Fan Shuo paused slightly before slowly nodding. If He Yiming were truly a Venerable, unless he intended to completely discard his reputation, he could never behave in such a manner.

Taking a step forward, Fan Shuo arrived at the seventh-floor entrance. His face had resumed its usual amiable smile. "I truly wonder where Young Nephew Jin proposed to fight. I am quite curious; let us all go and see."

Gao Weiliang and his companion smiled slightly, each taking one of Miss Qiu's hands. The four of them immediately followed the crowd.

Although they left later, moments later they had caught up to the main group. What astonished them, however, was that Jin Zhanyi's party of four seemed to be running farther and farther ahead, having long since left the grand and vast city of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Nearly half an hour later, Jin Zhanyi finally stopped. They had arrived in a wide, expansive valley.

Although this area was mostly flat terrain, it was dotted with countless soaring, enormous peaks. While they couldn't compare to the colossal mountain range spanning tens of thousands of li across the Northwest, finding several suitable valleys here was hardly difficult.

A clear, hearty laugh escaped Jin Zhanyi’s lips. He grinned, "Gentlemen, let us settle the score right here."

The Qilian Twin Demons scanned the valley, their eyes reflecting deep confusion.

The only notable feature of this valley was its sheer size. Compared to it, the seventh floor of the high tower seemed utterly minuscule. Their hearts filled with suspicion: could it be that Jin Zhanyi truly proposed this location because the seventh floor was too confining?

During this brief pause, the powerhouses who had been on the seventh floor arrived, and there were a few more among them. These were all famous figures from the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, and seeing such a massive exodus, some experts at the Innate Realm naturally followed along.

Jin Zhanyi and He Yiming had not maintained a rapid pace, so it was natural that these newcomers could just barely keep up.

Upon arrival, all the newcomers voluntarily retreated to the peripheries, keeping a respectful distance to leave ample space for the duel.

The Great Demon's cold voice rang out, "Since you have chosen the ground, let us begin."

The moment his words faded, both demons simultaneously expelled tangible flowers. Five distinctly colored tangible flowers spun before them, arranging themselves in the generative sequence of the Five Elements to form a massive Five Elements Reincarnation Flower.

As the power of the five elements coalesced once more, that potent restrictive force reappeared instantly.

However, in that very instant, Jin Zhanyi suddenly crouched low and stepped sideways.

He extended one leg diagonally. His movement was not dazzlingly fast; it was merely a fraction quicker than ordinary perception. Everyone could clearly see his every motion, even the slight flutter of his hair as the wind lifted it upwards.

But when his foot landed, he had already traversed dozens of zhang and moved clear of the restrictive range of the Five Elements Reincarnation Flower.

Fan Shuo’s gaze sharpened, and he murmured softly, "Myriad Miles Leisurely Walk (Wan Li Xian Ting)."

Gao Weiliang and the others from the Lingxiao Treasure Hall showed expressions of satisfaction or excitement. They understood that this Earth-element movement technique was typically reserved for experts in the Venerable Realm, and for Jin Zhanyi to have mastered it while still at the Pinnacle Tripartite level was a matter of immense glory. It also served as further proof of Jin Zhanyi's extraordinary talent and limitless future potential.

At this point, everyone finally understood why Jin Zhanyi had suggested leaving the Tongtian Treasure Tower for this location: the seventh floor truly hindered his performance. Engaging the Qilian Twin Demons, who possessed the Five Elements Reincarnation Flower, there would yield a vastly different result than what was about to happen here.

Yet, in the next moment, a ripple of doubt crossed everyone’s mind. If Jin Zhanyi possessed the fastest Earth-element movement technique, the Myriad Miles Leisurely Walk, what about He Yiming, that powerhouse from the Northwest Heavenly Pool? Did he also possess a supreme movement skill of a similar caliber?

All eyes turned toward He Yiming. They were eager to see what further surprises the young man who had unleashed the incredible might of the Heaven-Overturning Seal (Fan Tian Yin) would present.

Jin Zhanyi's instantaneous departure did indeed startle the Qilian Twin Demons, but being veterans of countless battles, they immediately redirected their focus to He Yiming in the next second.

The massive five tangible flowers shot toward He Yiming like arrows. The closer they drew, the harder the immense pressure became to endure. Although they had suffered grievously under He Yiming’s Heaven-Overturning Seal previously, they knew that such an immensely powerful, peak Earth-element technique could not be unleashed so easily. If He Yiming could truly turn the world upside down at will, he wouldn't be an expert of the same tier, but a genuine Venerable.

The five huge tangible flowers shone with intense light as they pressed down, the immense pressure converging from all directions, seemingly intending to bind him motionless at the center.

He Yiming’s expression was grave, yet he remained planted on the spot, unmoving.

The Qilian Twin Demons’ expressions shifted slightly. They simultaneously wondered if the young man was about to deploy that unbelievable Heaven-Overturning Seal again. Thinking of this, the speed of the five tangible flowers in the air immediately doubled, spiraling down to press upon him. Naturally, in doing so, a portion of the massive confinement power dissipated slightly. One cannot have both fish and bear's paw; the same principle applied to the martial path.

He Yiming strained his body slightly, and a powerful aura erupted from him. However, he did not employ a high-speed escape movement technique like the Myriad Miles Leisurely Walk to flee from beneath the Five Elements Flower. Instead, he held his head high, his gaze sharp and fixed forward, seemingly unconcerned with the Flower descending above him.

Gao Weiliang and Du Wenbin exchanged a look, a hint of understanding passing between them. The other onlookers, however, all mulled over the same question: was he truly going to deploy that unbelievable Heaven-Overturning Seal once more?

In reality, He Yiming had considered using the Heaven-Overturning Seal, but the strange wisp of power within his Dantian could not yet be fully mastered. Deploying it required a period of accumulation, and transforming it from the Heaven-Propping Seal (Qing Tian Yin) into the Heaven-Overturning Seal was necessary to release its maximum power. Thus, he had no intention of using the Heaven-Overturning Seal right then.

In just a breath, the five tangible flowers, ceaselessly generating one another, arrived directly above his head. The overwhelming pressure struck down like Mount Tai bearing down upon him. Around his body, countless forces surged, and an exceedingly powerful, sky-soaring malevolence erupted.

Yet, at this very moment, a cold, mocking smile curved the corner of He Yiming's lips. This faint smile caused the already unstable and astonished Qilian Twin Demons’ hearts to sink.

Then, under the gaze of everyone present, He Yiming’s body sank steadily into the earth. No matter how powerful the might of the colossal Five Elements Flower, it could not harm him in the slightest.

Instantly, the entire valley fell silent, save for the rustling of the wind through the grass.

Fan Shuo’s voice slowly articulated four words: "He... is... a... Venerable..."
