After Zhang Yan used the Imperial Seal of Xian Yuan, he found that the circulation of his magic power and the casting of spells became incomparably smooth. Even the recovery of his energy seemed to have faintly increased. He could also feel that the longer this treasure was used, the greater the benefits the master would gain.
Under the power of this treasure, all things could only obey its nature. This could be said in one sentence, and that was "the strong become stronger, the weak become weaker"!
It was fortunate that he had taken the treasure. If this dragged on, even if the Heaven Combining Snake Hoop could be used again, under its influence, he might not be able to kill Lu Li so easily.
The only pity was that he had just obtained this treasure and had not refined it yet. As a result, many of the benefits were taken away by the treasure itself, and there was not much that landed on him.
But no matter what, with this item in hand, he had immediately turned the situation around. At this moment, whether to advance or retreat, it was all within his control, and he was no longer restricted by the enemy.
At this moment, Lu Li stood in the formation, his body glowing. He chanted scriptures, and the page in his Divine Will faintly glowed, using this to resist the omnipresent pressure outside.
Right now, he had no way to retreat, because the formation was originally obtained by borrowing the Imperial Seal of Xian Yuan. Once this treasure was in Zhang Yan's hands, the right to control it was naturally taken along with it. In other words, he was already trapped here.
Next, he had to either defeat the opponent in front of him, or think of a way to retreat. If he could not do either, then he could only hope that his energy was enough to last until the battle ended and Bai Wei and the others came to his rescue.
Because he had already used the three great curses he knew, they were not able to do anything to the opponent. Right now, the only thing that could succeed was the fundamental curse.
But after thinking about it, he finally decided to suppress it.
The four great fundamental curses were divided into the four branches of "Heng", "Stop", "Transform", and "Purify". The one he knew was the "Purify Curse", and although its killing power was not weak, it was a level lower than the "Transform Curse". Even if it landed, it could not immediately do anything to the opponent, so this path could not be taken.
When he thought of this, he felt slightly helpless. His purpose for coming here was to disrupt the Human Dao Yuan Zun's arrangements, but he did not expect the other party's methods to be unexpectedly brilliant. Not only did they block him here, they even took away a Dao Artifact.
In reality, at this point, he could no longer achieve his original goal. He could only try to protect himself and see if there was a chance for him to retreat.
Dan Yi and the other two had been paying close attention to the battle and when they saw Zhang Yan snatching the Imperial Edict of Xian Yuan into his hands and turning the situation around, trapping the enemy in the formation, they were greatly inspired.
Michihito Ichito praised him several times.
If they were to ignore the Taiyi Golden Bead, the reason why they were inferior to the Connate demon was undoubtedly because of the Dao Artifact. Now that they had one, although it didn't mean that they had a chance of winning, they at least had some confidence.
Actually, all of them were clearly aware that according to normal circumstances, they would probably lose this battle. However, they had no choice but to do this because if they missed this opportunity, then their chances of turning the situation around in the future would be even slimmer. However, Zhang Yan's actions made them see some hope.
Dan Yi said, "With Fellow Daoist Zhang here, there's nothing to worry about in the outside world. It's just that we don't know when the three demons will arrive. We should refine the formation's magic treasure as soon as possible to deal with them."
Michihito Ichito also said, "That's right, there is still a great enemy behind us. Daoist Zhang, there is no way out now. We need to quickly set up the second formation to prevent any unforeseen events."
Fu Qingming pondered and said, "Although the five arrays from before were simple to set up, it seems like they are really useful. At the very least, they managed to delay that demon. After the Dharma treasures here are refined, I can set up a few more outside."
The other two nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Zhang Yan was constantly visualizing the sword light in his spirit. Under the illumination of the seal's spiritual light, the flying sword slashed and slashed as he wished. After using it many times, he even gained some enlightenment.
However, the opponent in front of him was the complete opposite. Compared to before, he was much slower and always looked like he was a beat slower. This was because he had to use a part of his strength to defend against the Dharma treasure that was hanging above him.
However, he realized that the Qi activity of this guy did not decrease at all. It was obvious that killing him twice was far from his limit.
He laughed lightly. It was rare to have such an opponent as a sparring partner. It was a good chance for him to test out his skills. Even if his vitality was really inexhaustible and he could not kill him, he had achieved his goal of delaying the battle.
Not long after, Lu Li found that it was getting more and more difficult to deal with. He knew that staying here would not only put him at a disadvantage, but he would also not be able to pressure his opponent. Therefore, he began to look for ways to retreat. He kept creating clones of his mind to calculate a way out of the formation. However, every time they appeared, they would be killed by a ray of sword light. However, even if they only appeared for a moment, they would help him in his calculations. At the very least, it would consume some of his vitality.
As for using insects to break the formation, with the seal above him, even if he released them, they wouldn't listen to him, so he decided not to use them.
Soon, two years passed while the two sides were fighting.
In the depths of the Inner Realm, the Elephant Dragon Gold Furnace in front of Dan Yi and the other two suddenly shook. Smoke spewed out and rays of colorful light flew out. In the end, it became a colorful ball of light that was extremely dazzling.
Michihito Ichito reached out and took it. To his surprise, he felt that it was a bit heavy. He couldn't help but feel happy and said, "It's done."
In fact, at the Realm of True Yang, no matter what it was in his hand, it would not feel heavy. However, it could make him feel heavy. This was because he had broken away from a certain kind of restraint. It was a restraint of its own and it was not affected by the aura of the three of them.
This thing was not a treasure, but it could be used to stabilize the formation.
He took it and looked at it several times until he was sure that there were no flaws in it. Then he said, "I didn't wait in vain."
Dan Yi said, "Brother Yi, why don't you go ahead and set it up first? We will come after we refine our artifacts."
Because the sacrificial refinement was not a magical treasure used for battle, the golden furnace was currently refining several objects together. However, it was not without an upper limit. This treasure had eight mouths, each facing different directions. This meant that it could refine a maximum of eight objects at the same time.
Daoist Yi nodded solemnly, then cupped his fists and said, "I'll be going first."
He changed his mind, and in an instant, he came to an empty space. He saw tens of thousands of stars flashing around him, and they were arranged neatly. This formation had been arranged long ago. Now, it was just lacking a treasure to suppress it. He threw the ball of light out. Immediately, there was a Qi dynamic that affected the stars. Every star was originally independent, but when the Qi landed, they connected with each other and became a whole.
He urged in his heart again, and the formation immediately started to move. At the same time, it produced waves of invisible Weili that shook the void.
At this moment, this formation could be considered complete Just Now.
He glanced outside and saw that Zhang Yan could handle the situation there. Even if he went up, he wouldn't be of much help. He might as well make use of the time he had to set up a few more formations to fight against the demons that were about to arrive. With this thought in mind, he sent a message to the three of them with his divine will and flew into the sky again.
In the formation, Zhang Yan's body was surrounded by mysterious light. There were countless rays of sword light flying around, constantly slashing at Lu Li's Dharmakaya. However, the latter had used his own foundation to vaguely find the way out in the past few years.
During this period of time, he naturally could not let the other party plot against him, so he changed the formation every time. It was quite impressive that the demon could still find the right way under such circumstances.
Until now, including the previous two times, he had killed this demon no less than seven times. However, after each time, the demon would immediately return, and it was full of vitality, seemingly unharmed. However, he did not stop because of this. Instead, he used this opportunity to understand the changes in the Dharma. As he killed this demon over and over again, his understanding of this secret method was improving at an unimaginable speed.
Since the beginning of the world, there was probably no True Yang cultivator who had been killed so many times by his peers. Even the mighty who possessed the Mysterious Painting back then had never experienced such an experience. He was using this demon as a test to complete his Dharma.
On Lu Li's side, he was also learning something in the cycle of life and death. However, there was one difference. Every time he turned back, that part of his consciousness would disappear along with his body. This meant that that part of his existence was completely gone. Therefore, as long as the Mysterious Painting was with him, he could not transcend it and understand the True Consciousness. Although he felt that he had gained something, in the end, he still gained nothing.
In fact, if it was just his own vitality, it would probably be exhausted after being killed two or three times. However, there was the endless vitality of Bai Wei and the other two outside. Not only that, there was also the contribution of the Nine Transformations Green Reverend, so he did not have to worry about the lack of vitality.
This was because the three of them had given him some of their own vitality. However, because it was constantly recovering, the loss of vitality was actually not as much as he had imagined. If this situation did not change, then it would not be a problem for him to hold on for dozens or even hundreds of years.
At this moment, Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes. Finally, he found the path in the formation. Without any hesitation, he made up his mind and dashed towards that direction. In an instant, he landed in the fourth formation. However, at this moment, countless rays of sword light pierced into his Dharma Body and were cutting away at his vitality.
It was different from what he saw at the beginning. The rays of sword light were sharper and more difficult to deal with. He could feel that, in the non-stop sparring, Zhang Yan's strength was continuously increasing, and he was becoming more and more skilled in the battle.
However, what was more troublesome was that Imperial Seal of Xian Yuan. This item was weakening his Qi at every moment. Although it was only a tiny bit and did not affect him much, but when fighting against someone of the same generation, even the slightest bit of disharmony could cause a great deviation. Therefore, after thinking about it, it was already very difficult for him to turn the situation around. The only thing he could do was to endure these dozens of years until Bai Wei and the others arrived. Just Now, he could break out of this situation.
