This talisman was a seventh-level Talisman, with powerful attack capabilities that could directly kill a high-level Spirit Saint at their peak and severely injure a first-stage Spirit God.
Although thousands of years had passed, weakening the runes on the Talisman, its explosive power was still sufficient to kill a high-level Spirit Saint.
From the previous battle, Derick had already determined that Leo’s cultivation was at the mid-stage Spirit Saint level, so he was confident that Leo could not withstand the Dark God-Destroying Spear.
However, before Elder Derick could relish his satisfaction, his expression changed.
He saw a sudden burst of icy white light from within the black light membrane enveloping Leo.
The black light membrane was instantly covered in frost, which quickly turned into a thin layer of ice.
“Break!”
A heart-shaking shout rang out.
The black light membrane, covered in ice, shattered like a bubble, turning into countless ice shards.
A white figure, surrounded by chilling air, reappeared in the world.
This scene left Gracie slightly agape in astonishment.
Seraphina’s tense heart suddenly relaxed.
When the black light membrane shattered, the spear tip of the Dark God-Destroying Spear was less than half a meter from Leo.
The spear’s radiance caused Leo’s entire body to ache as if pierced by thousands of needles.
With no way to evade, Leo had to risk using a new skill developed from the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus.
In an instant, Leo’s body was covered in ice-no, not just ice, but an ice armor!
Leo’s eyes were completely icy white as he pushed the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus to its limit, covering his hands with extremely cold ice crystals.
The next second, Leo’s ice-covered hands grasped the spear tip of the Dark God-Destroying Spear.
As Leo’s expression changed dramatically, the ice crystals covering his hands shattered under the spear tip, spilling blood that scattered from his hands into the air.
The spear tip of the Dark God-Destroying Spear unerringly pierced Leo’s chest armor.
Leo did not let go and was propelled backward by the terrifying force of the Dark God-Destroying Spear.
Cracks appeared where the spear tip struck the ice armor on his chest, but it did not immediately shatter.
As he flew backward, Leo frantically activated the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus within him to prevent the Dark God-Destroying Spear from completely breaking his protective ice armor.
Terrifying cold erupted from Leo’s body, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet rapidly.
Large snowflakes began to fall from the sky, creating a poignant beauty.
The snowflakes that landed on the disciples of Falling Blossom Palace were so cold that they had to use their spiritual power to resist it.
Some lower-level disciples shivered uncontrollably even while using their spiritual power to resist the cold.
Derick tightened his body and thought to himself, “What a terrifying cold force. That boy must be hiding some secret.”
In mid-air, Leo gripped the spear tip of the Dark God-Destroying Spear tightly as powerful cold energy surged into it.
Frost began to form on the black rune-covered spear shaft.
As time passed, more and more frost accumulated…
Soon, the entire Dark God-Destroying Spear was covered in frost.
Leo’s mouth began to bleed as he continued to fly backward. Blood also flowed from under his chest armor where the spear tip had struck.
Although the Talisman’s power had weakened significantly, it was still a seventh-level Talisman and not easy for Leo to resist in his current state.
Despite this difficulty, Leo managed to withstand it. Ice crystals formed again on his hands as he gripped the spear tip.
“Shatter!” With a loud shout, Leo gripped tightly with both hands.
With an explosive sound, the Dark God-Destroying Spear shattered in Leo’s hands, turning into countless black lights that dissipated into the air.
“He actually… withstood it!?”
The disciples of Falling Blossom Palace watching below were filled with shock and amazement as they witnessed the Dark God-Destroying Spear shatter.
“How is this possible!?” Derick was frightened.
Mike’s worried expression instantly turned into excitement and joy.
Seraphina’s tense face slightly relaxed, but she still felt concerned about Leo’s condition due to the blood on his chest and hands.
“You… you actually withstood my Dark God-Destroying Spear Talisman!” Gilberto roared in disbelief with a defeated expression.
“You are not qualified to kill me!” Leo’s eyes were icy cold. “I spared you earlier. Since you don’t cherish it, I’ll end your life instead!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Leo’s figure blurred and disappeared from his original spot.
Gilberto’s face changed drastically as he turned and punched behind him.
The collision of fists produced an explosive sound.
Extremely cold energy instantly invaded Gilberto’s body, sending him crashing heavily onto the dueling platform like a cannonball.
Gilberto’s body created a dent in the hard dueling platform upon impact.
“Ugh…!”
Gilberto spat out a mouthful of bright red blood from within the dent.
In mid-air, Leo grabbed three large Primordial Spirit Pills from his Storage Sack and swallowed them directly.
His spiritual power erupted again as he extended his right hand, summoning the Dragon Sword.
Earlier, Leo had spared Gilberto to avoid making too many enemies since his foundation in this world was not yet stable.
But Gilberto’s actions had thoroughly angered Leo.
The Dragon Sword in Leo’s hand shone brightly as a white dragon light shadow rose from it.
With a cold expression, Leo shot down from mid-air towards Gilberto.
“That boy wants to kill our young sect master!” Derick exclaimed in shock.
Glenn’s face also changed color.
He couldn’t understand why Leo dared do so. Was Leo not afraid of Runecarver Sect’s retaliation?
In the next moment, Derick and Glenn simultaneously unleashed their full power and shot towards the dueling platform.
Facing Leo who was charging down with the Dragon Sword in hand, they both threw out two Talismans.
The Talismans burned instantly in mid-air and transformed into two Golden Light Giant Palms that struck towards Leo.
Leo’s eyes flashed fiercely as he slashed his Dragon Sword at the incoming golden palms, splitting them in half.
Knowing he had to eliminate those who obstructed him first, Leo charged towards Derick and Glenn with his Dragon Sword in hand.
Derick and Glenn exchanged glances before unleashing their full strength to meet Leo head-on.
Boom! Boom! Boom…!
Terrifying sounds of battle echoed in mid-air.
“Runecarver Sect members are shameless!” Mike shouted angrily before flashing into mid-air to join the battle.
Seeing four people fighting fiercely in mid-air, Gracie, Willow, and several elders of Falling Blossom Palace all had their expressions change.
The female disciples of Falling Blossom Palace eagerly anticipated seeing Leo display his might once again.
