——

The golden light had no real killing power; it was just a signal. Jiang Weichen was secretly startled and immediately stopped, landing on the ground.

Looking around, he saw that this was a vast, desolate open space. The ground was littered with scorched rocks and charred wood debris, scattered everywhere. A gust of evening wind blew, instantly sending a large cloud of ashes flying. Among them, there were flickering, unstable phosphorescent lights.

The entire open space was shrouded in a sinister atmosphere. Anyone who came here, if their physical and vital energy were slightly insufficient, would immediately feel a chill penetrating through their skin, directly into their bone marrow. At best, they would suffer from a headache and fever for a few days; at worst, they would fall seriously ill. The worst-case scenario was the most severe.

Originally, this open space was a cremation ground. The palace maids and eunuchs who died for various reasons were not allowed to be transported out of the imperial city; they all had to be dragged here to be cremated.

Since ancient times, the imperial city has been the dirtiest, most unbearable, and the place that treats human life as grass. Over the centuries, countless plots and schemes have been hatched here, and countless people have died unjustly. This cremation ground was the final resting place for the wronged. Therefore, it was filled with resentment and ghostly auras, making people shudder.

At this moment, a figure stood in the center of the cremation ground. At first glance, it seemed to be an ordinary young man. However, the vibrant and sunny aura he exuded was completely out of place in this place filled with resentment.

Jiang Weichen felt a chill in his heart. He secretly prepared himself and took large steps forward, shouting in a deep voice, "Who are you? To dare intercept me, are you tired of living?"

Xiao Sheng shook his head and smiled lightly, "Haha, what an interesting question. How about it, weren't you here to kill me? In the end, it turns out you don't even know what your target looks like? If you kill the wrong person, wouldn't that be a big mistake?"

"Oh, you are the Fourteenth Prince, Xiao Sheng?" A sinister smile appeared on Jiang Weichen's face, "Very good, very good indeed. It seems that the Noble Consort and I have underestimated you. However, do you think that with your Master of the Disturbance Realm strength, you can act without restraint? Hmph, that's... too naive!"

As he spoke, Jiang Weichen extended his right foot and stomped on the ground.

Instantly, the sky darkened. On the cremation ground, a cold wind blew, and ghostly cries echoed, as if the netherworld had reappeared on earth. Amidst the cries, a huge, blood-red moon, filled with an eerie atmosphere, appeared in the sky!

Clouds moved, and blood-red light flickered. One after another, countless sinister shadows, carrying a strong smell of blood, rose from the ground of the cremation field. They densely filled the entire space. The scene was so terrifying that it made one's scalp tingle and feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"Hehe, hehehe~ Boy, are you afraid yet? Unfortunately, it's already too late. Kill!"

Under the blood-red moonlight, countless Jiang Weichens, all with the same appearance, revealed sinister smiles. Immediately, they all waved their hands and rushed from all directions—east, west, south, north, up, and down—launching a massive attack on Xiao Sheng.

There was no way to block or avoid it. In an instant, Xiao Sheng was in a desperate situation! Could it be that... the Golden Phoenix would also meet its end tonight?

Under the blood-red moon, countless blood shadows and spirits surrounded Xiao Sheng. He faced the most dangerous and perilous situation of his life. But just as it seemed too late, a high and clear cry, piercing the clouds, suddenly burst out. A huge golden phoenix illusion appeared behind Xiao Sheng.

The brilliant golden light, like the rising sun, illuminated the entire night sky! The mysterious blood moon was immediately overshadowed and lost its power.

Under the sunlight, all evil spirits have nowhere to hide! In an instant, countless rays of golden light exploded like the sun, sweeping through all directions! The countless blood shadows on the ground were instantly evaporated and melted, leaving no trace.

A heart-wrenching scream suddenly burst out. Immediately, the golden phoenix and the mysterious blood moon disappeared.

Under the bright moonlight, Xiao Sheng stood with his arms crossed, immovable as a mountain. A warm smile still lingered on the corner of his mouth. Jiang Weichen, on the other hand, was disheveled, his body swaying, almost unable to stand. Two streams of dark red blood slowly flowed from his nostrils, dripping onto his clothes and the ground. He looked extremely wretched and terrifying.

"Disturbance Realm? No, it's the Entrapment Realm technique. Among a million martial practitioners, only one can reach the peak of the Master level. Impressive, impressive."

Xiao Sheng nodded in admiration, "I never thought you had such skills. The Northern Border Jiang Clan is indeed not simple. No wonder Bai Li Kun Luo, whose spirit was injured by me, could recover so quickly. Unfortunately, your technique is effective against others, but not against me. You've miscalculated."

"You're wrong, wrong, the Noble Consort is completely wrong. Xiao Sheng, there's no high-level expert behind you. The one who broke the National Uncle's mental attack and injured his spirit was you yourself."

Jiang Weichen wiped his face with his sleeve, his expression sinister and full of evil. "A Master of the Disturbance Realm can凝聚精神，形成无形之手，通过各种手段干扰敌人的理智，使敌人产生重重幻觉，真假难辨。

乱神境的宗师更进一步，可以将精神之手锻炼得更加粗壮有力，无需任何特别手段，也能强行压迫敌人进入幻觉，迷心乱性，惑神丧智，无比可怕。

宗师巅峰的困神境强者，与前面两个境界有着决定性的差距。精神力量不再是变化成手，而是展开成天罗地网。罗网中虚实相生，令人执假为真，不能自拔。最终，只有死亡，才能从幻境中解脱。

本宗修炼的功法，最擅长神魂方面的手段。所以一旦练成困神境宗师，足以独立搏杀三、五名同境界的敌人。万万没想到，刚才本座施展秘法，竟然也被你强行击破？好！萧昇，本座承认，确实低估你了。不过……"

Jiang Weichen paused, a cruel smile suddenly appearing on his face. He slowly said, "Just because有些本事，就以为能吃定了本座？萧昇，本座低估了你，但你何尝又不是低估了本座？"

As he spoke, Jiang Weichen suddenly grabbed his own collar and forcefully tore it apart! He roared, "Blood moon shines, red soul penetrates the earth, true sect grants power, return to ancestral form, awaken quickly!"

With a tearing sound, the blood moon reappeared! Under the crimson moonlight, Jiang Weichen let out a fierce roar, and his body underwent an unimaginable and terrifying transformation.

Black hair sprouted all over his skin; his ears protruded high, standing on top of his head; a blood-red mouth, almost split to the back of his head, was filled with dagger-like sharp fangs; membranes grew under his ribs, connecting to his arms to form huge wings; at least seven to eight-inch-long nails, gleaming with a metallic cold light, grew on his fingers. His body continued to swell, swell, and swell! When this terrifying transformation finally stopped, what Xiao Sheng saw was no longer a human, but a terrifying monster, half human and half bat, standing over twelve feet tall (about four meters)!

The terrifying monster let out a bone-chilling laugh, flapped its fleshy wings, and slowly rose into the night sky. Under the blood moon, its body trembled, and another clone separated from it. The two clones trembled again, splitting into four.

In the blink of an eye, four giant bat monsters circled the blood moon, hovering in the air. Their eight blood-red eyes simultaneously flashed with greedy and cruel light, staring intently at Xiao Sheng.

"Xiao Sheng, the Fourteenth Prince. Haha, how about it, are you afraid? This is the true ability of the Jiang Clan. Blessed by the true sect, it awakens the ancestral bloodline, returning to the true form. Both spirit and body instantly double in strength! Tell me, in this situation, how can you possibly fight me? Can you still distinguish what is real and what is illusion? Haha, hahahaha~"

Before the mad laughter subsided, a deadly killing intent had already arrived. A giant human-bat led the charge, its lips pursed in a roar. The compressed sound waves condensed into an invisible giant blade, slashing fiercely at Xiao Sheng.

Where the blade passed, soil and rocks flew, plowing a massive, three-foot-wide, deep gash into the ground of the cremation field. If truly hit by this "invisible sound blade," even a Master of the Entrapment Realm would likely be dismembered on the spot!

"Good! This move is impressive." Facing the powerful attack, Xiao Sheng showed no fear, but instead praised it. Immediately, he condensed golden qi into his palms, forming the shape of phoenix wings, and spread them to meet the attack.

The ultimate killing move of the Stellar Phoenix Fist—Phoenix Flame Martial Slash!

In a split second, the sky was filled with brilliant golden light! The massive golden blade radiated a majestic and dominant aura, soaring through the heavens. It clashed head-on with the invisible sound blade released by the bat monster!

In the blink of an eye, the tangible and intangible, the material and the immaterial, two blade forces clashed fiercely, sparks flying. The entire cremation field shook violently. The energy shockwaves from the collision of the two blades spread out, causing the surrounding air to shatter like a mirror, then disperse into a vast, chaotic mist, enveloping Xiao Sheng, making him indistinguishable.

Even in this dangerous situation, Xiao Sheng remained calm. He clapped his hands together and shouted, "Perception Color—Ripple Walk." Instantly, the invisible and omnipresent "Heart Net" was spread out. Within a hundred-meter radius, everything in the sky and on the ground was under his control.
