Under the gazes of the crowd, Ju Rong slowly moved towards Zhang Yan. When he was not far away from Zhang Yan, he stood still. His mountain-like body blocked out the sunlight, and half of the sky suddenly darkened.
He looked at Zhang Yan and said in a booming voice, "I'm here on behalf of a fellow Daoist. As long as you swear not to go to Xuanhong Heaven within a thousand years, I can promise you that I won't make things difficult for you."
Priest Gong's letter to him was to find a way to make Zhang Yan stay in outer space. He did not mention anything else. There were two ways to do it. One was to kill the target and settle things once and for all. The other was to threaten and coerce.
Although he was not weak in fights of magical powers and had killed many cultivators of the same generation, it did not come without a price. This time, he was only here to return a favor. Even if he won, he would not get any benefits. If he could, he would rather use the latter method to settle this matter. This was also the reason why he came here with great fanfare. He wanted Zhang Yan to clearly see the power he possessed and make the latter retreat.
When the crowd heard his words, they all revealed thoughtful expressions. If Ju Rong had only asked Zhang Yan not to go to Xuanhong Heaven, perhaps they would not have thought much of it. At most, they would think that Zhang Yan had offended a Spiritual Master in Xuanhong Heaven. However, when he mentioned the thousand years limit, they could not help but think of the Divine Item left behind by the Great Underworld Patriarch.
Connecting the cause and effect of these two matters, many people guessed the whole story on the spot. This Spiritual Master Zhang in front of them was very likely the owner of the Divine Item in Xuanhong Heaven. However, Mount Luo Monastery was unwilling to take it out. Now that they had invited Ju Rong, it was obvious that they wanted to force him to give it up.
Daoist Tong Hai also thought of this, but he could not tell whether it was true or not. Just Now, Zhang Yan had said that he only needed to watch from the side, so he endured it and did not speak.
At this moment, Zhang Yan was also sizing Ju Rong up. This person must have found the Root Fruit to be able to walk in the heavens without being bound by a realm. Moreover, this person was different from Gui Zu. He had inherited the Cultivation Method of his ancestors, so his Divine Ability must be extremely powerful. However, he had not reached that step. He replied indifferently, "What I do is not something you can control."
Ju Rong didn't give up on persuading him. He said in a deep voice, "I know why you're here, but with the ten Exalted True Masters of the Black Flood Heaven and the Black Flood Heaven Lord holding the fort, you don't stand a chance, so why are you so persistent? Take a step back, it will be good for both you and others. "
The Spiritual Masters were a little surprised. This Ju Rong was easy to talk to today. In the past, he never gave his opponents a chance. However, after thinking about it again, this Spiritual Master Zhang's Qi was deep and his strength was really unpredictable. He would not be easy to deal with. Moreover, if he was really the owner of the Divine Item determined by the Great Underworld Patriarch, then his background was not small.
Zhang Yan said calmly, "Whether we stay or leave, whether we choose to give up or not, it's all an internal matter of our sect. Outsiders are not allowed to interfere." He looked up. "Since you've come to find me, why do you need to say so much?"
Ju Rong stared at him for a moment and said, "Fine."
Since he could not persuade him, then he would subdue him with force. He looked around and said, "This is the venue of the Hundred Sect Rehearsals. It is not suitable to fight here. Why don't we change to another place?"
He also knew that he had made a lot of noise by coming here and probably caused a lot of dissatisfaction. Normal people could not care less, but the Heavenly Lord of Xuanyang Heaven could not. Even though he usually did not care about things, it was hard to say if he would not intervene when the venue of the Hundred Sect Rehearsals was disrupted.
Zhang Yan had no objections. With a thought, he turned into a clear light and flew into the sky. Ju Rong also let out a roar and rose into the sky. Both of them were extremely fast. Soon, they arrived outside the land. It was a vast void around them. It was empty and the stars in the sky were only specks of light.
The Spiritual Masters also followed. It was extremely rare to see a battle of this level. Moreover, this was not a spar but a real battle of life and death. How could they miss it?
Only Daoren, who had spoken to Ju Rong before, did not move. He stroked his beard and pondered for a moment. He looked down at Tianyu and thought, "A battle between two Spiritual Masters is a rare opportunity. I will fulfill your wish."
He took out a jade plate and placed his hands between his thumb and forefinger. The plate flew up by itself. One side reflected the void and the other side shone on the floating platform of Tianyu. Instantly, the figures of Zhang Yan and Ju Rong appeared.
Not only that, but as the rays of light continued to jump out, the same scene appeared in every place where the battles were taking place. Even the Mortal Sheds in Xuanyang Sky who hadn't come to watch the battle were alarmed. They all came out of their meditations and paid attention to the battle.
Daoist Tonghai was already above Tianyu. He used his spirit to communicate, "Daoist friend Zhang, I heard that Ju Rong has a treasure for escaping. It is this treasure that allows him to come and go as he pleases without fear of being pursued. In the past, no one who was targeted by him could escape. Once you fight with him, it is impossible to retreat. The only way to have a chance of winning is to defeat him with all your might."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for telling me." He looked around and saw that he was far enough away from the land. Hence, he stopped.
Ju Rong saw that he stopped and also stopped. He then took a few steps back and took a deep breath.
He was already a giant. With the activation of this breath of spiritual vigor, he grew even bigger. In the past, he had fought countless battles and accumulated a wealth of experience. Once he entered the state of fighting, he could cut off all distracting thoughts and worries. The only goal left was to defeat and kill his opponent.
The battle between cultivators of the same generation was usually a battle between the Primordial Spirit and the Root Fruit. However, he was born with a strong body. Coupled with his acquired cultivation, his body was almost indestructible. This meant that even if he did not use the Root Fruit, he could still block many attacks. When his opponent encountered his attacks, he had to sacrifice the Root Fruit to avoid them. In comparison, he had a huge advantage.
However, this didn't mean that he didn't have any weaknesses. He relied on many treasures to make up for these weaknesses one by one. Furthermore, he still had the Flesh Sustenance Technique. Even if he was destroyed on the spot, he could still come back to life.
At this moment, Ju Rong felt that his previous worries were laughable. Here, unless the Xuan Yang Heaven Lord personally came, who else could really threaten him?
As his aura grew stronger, a golden light bloomed from his body. The brilliance was so bright that it almost covered the sun in the distance. The golden hammer in his hand was also slowly raised.
Fan Shu and Shang Zhen knew that he was about to attack. One by one, they took out their magical treasures to prevent themselves from being affected by the aftershock.
On the many islands below, all the cultivators watching this scene held their breaths. It was as if their minds were seized. Their bodies felt like they had sunk into the deep sea and were enveloped by boundless pressure. This was only the accumulation of power. He had not actually attacked yet. If this hammer were to strike, it was hard to imagine what kind of damage it would cause.
Everyone tensed up. In front of the jade tablet, everyone felt as if they were in the same situation. They did not know how Zhang Shangzhen would block this attack.
Ju Rong's golden hammer was gradually raised high. Even though the aura on his body continued to rise, his expression still maintained its previous calm and indifference.
This golden hammer was a supreme treasure left to him by the Giant Spirit Clan. It had a special characteristic. As long as it was raised and successfully swung, it would definitely hit the opponent. No defensive magical treasure in the world could block it. Even if one tried to escape, it would be useless. The only way to deal with it was to interfere midway.
In the past, none of the cultivators who fought with him would let him act calmly. They would all try to stop him. However, once they did so, they would fall into his rhythm and arrangements.
However, Zhang Yan stood there without moving. Therefore, he judged that the other party should have seen through this and was unwilling to fall into the trap. In that case, the only way to block this attack was to use the Root Fruit to avoid it.
This was a good thing. With just one attack, he could force the other party to use the Root Fruit. It could be said that he had gained the upper hand from the beginning.
This thought flashed through his mind. At this moment, the golden hammer was already raised high. Whether it was his aura or strength, both had risen to the peak. With a roar, he smashed the hammer down in front of him.
Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly became deep. He did not dodge, nor did he use the Root Fruit. Instead, he met this person's attack with a punch!
The moment he attacked, there was a loud bang. He saw countless Ju Rongs swinging their hammers at him!
This was not an illusion, but a change in the future that he saw.
After reaching the Great Perfection of the Strength Path Six Revolutions, he was already entrenched above the past and the future. Although he was limited by his Strength Path Body and was unable to be like Kong Ying back then, he was unable to fear the attacks of anyone with a lower cultivation base than him. However, he was able to predict all the changes his opponent would make.
Every Ju Rong here was real. They were all shadows of the future that could display their full strength. As long as he killed them, he would kill the Ju Rong themselves.
When he punched out, a Ju Rong's body exploded before he could swing his hammer. In the next moment, it was as if nothing had happened. Everything returned to the beginning. Before he was hit by Zhang Yan's punch, a treasure in front of his chest flew out and released a ray of light to block the attack. The giant hammer successfully smashed onto Zhang Yan's body, but not long after, it was once again shattered by a ray of light. Everything returned to the moment when he swung his golden hammer. This time, he did not take out a treasure to protect himself. Instead, he stopped his hammer and used another technique. But not long after, it was once again shattered by thousands of lightning bolts, and everything returned to the beginning.
Ju Rong continued to use all sorts of methods here, but they were all crushed mercilessly by Zhang Yan one after another. His numbers became fewer and fewer, and the point of recovery was also constantly receding. This was because every time he was killed, a future would be snatched away, and a possibility would be severed.
As the Ju Melts disappeared one by one, only one was left. In the real world, Zhang Yan's punch had Just Now Zhang Yan's real punch had been delivered!
