Within the Eye of the Storm, the potent auras of two Void Refinement Stage practitioners intertwined and clashed, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding space.
Although Qing Holy Maiden had deployed the Five Elements Origin Body, she still appeared light and agile, like a blue butterfly flitting among flowers. Five sword devices circled around her, each emitting a faint spiritual light, seemingly capable of severing all worldly chains.
"Five Elements Cycle, Spatial Confinement!" Qing Holy Maiden directly used the Five Elements Canglan Sword, her Lifebound Artifact, along with four other Superior Dao Artifact Longswords, to execute the Five Elements Linked Sword Formation, concurrently using the Origin Dao Technique Spatial Confinement.
"Five Superior Dao Artifacts!" Cangsheng Sovereign exclaimed in surprise, yet he did not panic.
"Faith True Body, United As One!" Cangsheng Sovereign also deployed his Origin True Body, with his Lifebound Artifact, the Cangsheng Record, floating above his head. The runes flowing on it formed a shield that impeccably protected him.
The Spatial Confinement could not restrict his movements, nor could the Sword Array breach the shield's defense, as Cangsheng Sovereign wielded a mysterious Power of Laws.
"Qing Holy Maiden, the power of Cangsheng is invincible. I do not wish to harm you. Just leave, retreat from the Outer Realm, and do not hinder me," Cangsheng Sovereign said, clearly confident in this battle.
"It's merely a Power of Laws, I have it too!" Qing Holy Maiden declared, then her Origin True Body unleashed the mysterious Water Principle, enhancing the Five Elements Linked Sword Formation.
"You have imprinted a Principle too!" Cangsheng Sovereign was shocked once again. Had it not been for his unimaginable opportunities, he too wouldn't have grasped the Principle of the Path of Faith, yet Qing Holy Maiden had it as well.
Suddenly, Qing Holy Maiden's five longswords traced stunning arcs in the air, each strike infused with the gentleness and resilience of the Water Principle, forming ripples in space, attempting to tear apart Cangsheng Sovereign's seemingly impregnable shield.
Cangsheng Sovereign's expression grew solemn, as the Power of Faith Laws surged like a tide from the Cangsheng Record, bolstering the Congregation Mace, which he then thrust towards Qing Holy Maiden.
"One Strike of Cangsheng!" Cangsheng Sovereign shouted, knowing that merely defending was insufficient. He also had to attack while his shield still held.
"Five Elements Protective, Impervious to All Laws!" Qing Holy Maiden remained composed. Her Lifebound Artifact, the Five Elements Canglan Umbrella, appeared and opened above her Origin True Body. A white, translucent protective barrier then unfolded under the enhancement of the Five Elements Canglan Umbrella, indeed it was the Five Elements Protective Barrier.
The attack from the Congregation Mace hit the Five Elements Protective Barrier but similarly failed to shatter it.
The battle between the two Void Refinement Stage Cultivators seemed ordinary but was terrifyingly intense. Black space fissures appeared sporadically, and even the inherently robust inner walls of the Eye of the Storm continuously dropped debris during the aftershocks of their assaults.
"Five Elements Primordial, Power Suppressing Cangsheng!" Seeing that the Five Elements Linked Sword Formation temporarily could not subdue Cangsheng Sovereign, Qing Holy Maiden's Origin True Body instantly teleported next to Cangsheng Sovereign's Origin True Body and unleashed the Five Elements Primordial Fist upon him.

"Your Body Refinement Realm has also reached that equivalent to the Soul Fusion Realm of the Void Refinement Stage!" Cangsheng Sovereign was shocked yet again, as Qing Holy Maiden continuously shattered his expectations.
Facing Qing Holy Maiden's space-breaking fist, Cangsheng Sovereign could only recall the Congregation Mace to defend, but he was quickly overwhelmed with flaws.
Thus, Cangsheng Sovereign took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a resolute color.
"The sorrow of the commoners, Life-Bestowing Divine Art!" he recited silently, while deploying his ultimate move, the Life-Bestowing Art. Instantly, a mysterious power seemed to transcend space-time, congregating into an unstoppable torrent that surged into his body.
As this power infused him, the Cangsheng Record emitted an unprecedented glow tinged with black, as if it wished to devour everything. The protective barrier formed by the Cangsheng Record became even more impregnable; the next attack from the Congregation Mace pierced through the Five Elements Protective Barrier as well as the Qing Holy Maiden's Origin True Body.
The mighty power directly shattered the Origin True Body of the Qing Holy Maiden, who was at the Soul Fusion Realm, along with her body.
Then, Cangsheng Sovereign saw the hovering Five Elements Canglan Umbrella and five Superior Dao Artifact Longswords, feeling not a hint of joy in vanquishing his enemy.
Sure enough, the next moment, the Qing Holy Maiden reappeared.
"You indeed possess some kind of immortal Divine Skill, it's not merely some life-saving treasure!" Cangsheng Sovereign said, his face twitching slightly.
He had thoroughly investigated the Qing Holy Maiden and knew she possessed this ability, so initially, he had not intended to kill her but to force her to go to the Central Domain.
Meanwhile, the Qing Holy Maiden's complexion turned exceedingly ugly, as she discovered that her lifespan had decreased by one percent. This time it wasn't five percent, perhaps because she had reached the Void Refinement Stage.
"Wei Cangsheng, you once again used the lifespan of a hundred billion sect members as the price to enhance your strength! How dare you do this?" the Qing Holy Maiden exclaimed furiously, as she had thought Wei Cangsheng's method could only be used to counteract divine retribution, not that it could be used this way as well.

Although Wei Cangsheng did this, although he couldn't kill her, many Sect of Commoners members would die as a result.
"Qing Holy Maiden, it's only because you oppose me. If only you would go to the Central Domain, I wouldn't have to do this," Cangsheng Sovereign retorted loudly, pointing an accusing finger.
Hearing this, the Qing Holy Maiden's anger intensified, but she knew that anger was futile at this moment and that she needed to remain calm to deal with the situation. She took a deep breath, and the Five Elements light swirling around her suddenly intensified, as if to illuminate the dark Eye of the Storm.
"Wei Cangsheng, you abuse the faith, exchanging the lives of the commoners for power, such an act defies the heavens! Today, I am here to act on heaven's behalf, to stop your evil ways!" the Qing Holy Maiden declared undeniably, her Spiritual Power surging within her, attacking Cangsheng Sovereign again with the Five Elements Linked Sword Formation and the Five Elements Primordial Fist.
"It's like throwing an egg against a rock, a wasted effort!" Knowing he could not kill the Qing Holy Maiden, Cangsheng Sovereign simply focused on defending. At this moment, the power he obtained from the Life-Bestowing Art was still with him, making the Cangsheng Record's barrier seem like an indestructible fortress, completely unafraid of the Qing Holy Maiden's attacks, though Cangsheng Sovereign was becoming somewhat panicked.
"Qing Holy Maiden, why must you persist? If you continue like this, I will have to use the Life-Bestowing Divine Art once more, and many more sect members will die because of you!" Cangsheng Sovereign said, clearly trying to morally bind the Qing Holy Maiden.
The Qing Holy Maiden did not reply, simply continuing her assault. She thought to herself, how could a heaven-defying secret art like the Life-Bestowing Art be used so easily in succession? Wei Cangsheng wasn't cheating, but she was the one cheating.
In fact, she guessed right; this kind of secret art could only be used once every three years. Moreover, using it excessively could lead to backlashes and invite an even more terrifying divine retribution since the art itself damages the heavenly order, qualifying as a defiance of the heavens.
