But he immediately took out a second Immortal Source Pill and swallowed it!

"Courting death!"

Yi Linglin quickly switched to another First Grade high-level "Three Flames Burning Yuan Skill", spitting out three flames of different colors towards Li An. Li An persistently used a Golden Lotus to protect himself. The three fiery flames, like fire serpents, coiled around the Golden Lotus, occasionally flicking tongues of fire into the gaps of the lotus, causing Li An to appear flustered as he hurriedly extinguished them.

After a long while, Yi Linglin suddenly guided the flames, causing them to explode violently. The powerful impact once again shattered Li An’s Golden Lotus Skill, but her own skill was also exhausted. Li An staggered back, seemingly having reached his limit.

He swiftly took out another Immortal Source Pill.

"What a knave!"

Yi Linglin inexplicably grew even more furious.

This scoundrel actually relied on external items, doping himself.

Moreover, the pills he was taking were even those of the Profound Immortal Level, which she herself could not afford, and the infuriating part was that he took so many at once!

"Die—"

Taking a step forward, she switched to another Immortal Technique, with Immortal Light transforming into thousands of strands, like a heavenly net moving to pierce Li An.

A First Grade high-level, Thousand Threads Entwining Immortal Skill!

Li An employed the same strategy, once again using a Golden Lotus to protect himself.

"Li An’s Immortal Technique is still inferior to Yi Linglin’s! Wrong, wrong!"

"To counter the Thousand Threads Entwining Immortal Skill, the best choice is the Grand Grade Void Restriction Technique, but he doesn’t know it."

"The Unceasing Golden Lotus Skill can’t withstand the Thousand Threads Entwining Immortal Skill, his decline is evident!"

The crowd voiced their opinions, seeing that Li An’s response at this moment was a sign of his dwindling options.

However, the Golden Wall Immortal pondered silently, uncertain whether Li An still had any trump cards up his sleeve.

As everyone focused their gazes, indeed, within the Immortal Array, the Immortal Light threaded like needles, piercing through gaps between the golden lotus leaves and landing on Li An, entangling him instantly—

Li An’s expression changed drastically, his Immortal Power faltered, and the Golden Lotus collapsed. The threads, like a heavenly web, bound him tightly, rendering him immobile.

He was defeated!

"I’ll make you wish for life and death but unable to attain either!"

Yi Linglin sneered coldly, with a wave, Li An was already pulled to her front, and her delicate jade hand slapped fiercely towards Li An!

But at that very moment—

Suddenly, a flash of light erupted in front of Li An, exploding in five-colored brilliance, turning into two Immortal Talismans, one into five Immortal Spears and the other into three, striking directly towards her.

A Five Spears Immortal-Breaking Talisman, and a Three Spears Immortal-Breaking Talisman!

This was his prepared true killing move.

In fact, Li An possessed a total of three Five Spears Immortal-Breaking Talismans. If he unleashed all three, he would have an even greater chance of killing Yi Linglin.

But, by doing so, his proficiency level in Immortal Talismans would be fully exposed.

Moreover, if the opponent had any means to evade this strike, wouldn’t it be a wasted attack, leaving him without any Immortal Talismans and placing him in a passive position?

Thus, caution first!

Yi Linglin’s pupils contracted, not expecting Li An to have such astonishing tricks. The Immortal Light radiated brightly from her body, autonomously shielding her, and at this moment, Li An’s Primordial Spirit manifested out of the Spirit Platform with a loud shout:

"Destroy—"

With all his strength, this shout was forged by Li An through conjoining the soul-binding methods of all the evil demons from the Spirit Realm. He dared not use the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill to drive it, but instead employed the Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill. In Li An’s view, this technique was strong enough to rival Second Grade Immortal Techniques, so its power was immense, even causing Yi Linglin’s Primordial Spirit to tremble involuntarily.

The eight Immortal Spears took advantage of this to penetrate inside. She retreated swiftly, yet four Immortal Spears still heavily pierced into her body.

"Pfft—"

Yi Linglin spat out a mouthful of gray Immortal Blood, clearly wounded—

While Li An took out the last Immortal Source Pill and swallowed it, then pulled out another two Talismans—

Again, two Three Spears Immortal Light Talismans!

He attacked once more, secretly holding another Five Spears Immortal-Breaking Talisman, ready to end the opponent’s life!

At this moment, Yi Linglin seemed extremely hesitant, watching as the Immortal Spears approached, she was forced to produce a jade mirror in her hand!

As soon as the jade mirror appeared, it burst with light, instantly turning Li An’s two Three Spears Immortal-Breaking Talismans into ashes, with the gray light also striking towards Li An—

Li An’s pupils contracted, realizing this wretched woman indeed had a backup move.

This was at least a Profound Immortal Level "Immortal Treasure"!

The Immortal Treasure’s light approached in a flash. Li An simultaneously performed the Unceasing Golden Lotus Skill for defense while preparing to activate several of the Five-Shield Immortal Light Talismans on him, swiftly retreating—

"Stop—"

Before the Immortal Treasure could truly strike him, the dignified voice of the Golden Wall Immortal rang out. Unknown when, he had already appeared in front of Li An, with just a wave of his sleeve, the terrifying killing aura vanished.

Li An let out a long sigh of relief!

However, he couldn’t help but feel a little regretful in his heart; now that the Golden Wall Immortal had intervened, he could no longer aim to kill his opponent.

"The rules of the Mid Stage contest forbid reliance on external items, Yi Linglin, you’ve violated the prohibition—"

The Golden Wall Immortal’s voice was cold as he spoke.

The rules of the Cloud Ascension Palace prohibit the use of external items that exceed one’s cultivation level, such as artifacts, Talismans, or pills that enhance a cultivator’s mana.

After all, those items are exceedingly powerful, and if used, would inevitably skew the contest’s results, crushing others definitively. In that case, wouldn’t the disciples with backing or strong supporters within the sect have an unfair advantage? The purpose of selecting talent would not be achieved.

What Yi Linglin used was an Immortal Treasure, not an Immortal Artifact bonded to her life, and it clearly exceeded her realm, thereby also being prohibited!

Yi Linglin, upon hearing this, protested indignantly: "Palace Master, Gu Fan used external items first. I was forced to use this treasure out of helplessness, how can you blame me? He’s the one who broke the rules!"
