Zhang Yan stood in the middle of the battlefield, his expression calm. The air around him was filled with vitality, and it swirled back and forth, causing his black robes to flutter. His entire body was enveloped in a ball of flowing five-colored light, and he looked completely unharmed.
"He actually withstood it?"
The spectators, including Dan Yi and the other two who were mentally prepared, were all shocked.
Connate Cardinal Treasures were Connate Weili, born from the essence of heaven and earth. It was hard to imagine that there was a cultivator in the world who could use his own strength to take on the collision of such a treasure head-on.
Even though Zhang Yan's Qi seemed to be greatly diminished, and it was obvious that he had expended a lot of it, compared to the result before them, it was not even worth mentioning.
If he could withstand a treasure of this level just by expending his Qi and energy, there would be no need for them to be so afraid. The problem was that it was impossible.
Just Now, just the shockwaves from the collision were enough to make them lose their senses and shake the world. If they went up to face it head-on, everything would probably be destroyed and turned into nothingness. Even if a True Yang cultivator's Qi Sea was not extinguished, they would not immediately die. But if they were forced to this point in battle, the outcome was obvious.
Everyone stared at Zhang Yan, thinking about what they should do if they faced him in the future.
Bai Wei was also stunned. He had personally sacrificed a Connate Cardinal Treasure, and he knew what kind of power that blow contained Just Now. In his imagination, if Zhang Yan was hit by the Taiyi Gold Bead head-on, even if he didn't die, he should be heavily injured. But now, he was completely unharmed. This scene completely overturned everything he knew.
That was not all. He discovered that as time passed, Zhang Yan's Qi surged again. Clearly, his battle strength was gradually recovering.
In truth, it was best for him to attack now, but in order to activate the Taiyi Gold Bead, he had poured almost all of his Qi and energy into it. If he hadn't stopped in time, he would have nearly injured his foundation. Just Now, he was also exhausted. Not only could he not attack, but he also had to worry about Zhang Yan using the Killing Secret Art to deal with him.
There were many reasons why Zhang Yan had been able to take on the attack this time.
He had originally thought about how to take on the Taiyi Gold Bead, but the moment it landed on him, he had no idea how to deal with it.
When the Taiyi Gold Bead was unleashed, its peak power would only last for an instant. This was the most important thing. As long as he could withstand it, he would be able to deal with it later.
Now that he thought about it, he felt that this should be the turn of the heavens, leaving behind a sliver of hope in the midst of all annihilation. But in reality, if he didn't have the foundation of his magic power, even if he knew all this, he wouldn't have been able to deal with it.
It was extremely dangerous, and even with the support of the three Dao Treasures, he was only barely able to resist it. If the Multifaceted Treasures were a little more powerful, then the outcome might not be the same.
If it came again in the blink of an eye, he would have no choice but to retreat. Even though his Essence Qi was slowly being replenished, it was impossible for him to receive another attack.
"But Just Now …"
The moment the treasure struck him, he seemed to see something in his daze, and he faintly comprehended something. However, this light disappeared, and he was unable to grasp it.
He raised his head and looked across. Since the enemy had not retreated yet, it was not the time to pursue this matter. He could think about it after he returned.
The two of them faced each other from afar. They both circulated their Qi and recovered their magic power. For a time, the surroundings fell silent once more.
A moment later, Bai Wei had a bad feeling in his heart. He could feel that even though he was constantly visualizing the great incantation and absorbing Origin Qi from the sea of Origin Qi, his recovery rate was far inferior to Zhang Yan's. In just a short while, Zhang Yan had already regained his magnificent momentum.
At this moment, Taiyi Jinzhu's gloomy voice suddenly rang out. "This person will definitely not be able to withstand a second attack. Guangsheng Tianzun, wait for your strength to recover a little, then attack again. You will definitely be able to defeat him."
When Daoist Daoyi attacked Just Now, he had wanted to kill Zhang Yan with a single attack. However, he did not expect Zhang Yan to be able to block it head-on. He was both shocked and angry.
Today, he wanted to show off his power and intimidate everyone. However, if people saw that there was hope of stopping him, then who would be afraid of him?
Bai Wei was also considering whether or not to launch a second attack.
After careful consideration, he decided to give up. Even if he did it again, he might not be able to succeed, but it would definitely shake his own Dao foundation.
Nothing in the world was more important than climbing to the upper realm. In the past, he occupied Bu Xutian and deduced the fundamental Upper Mahayana Sutra, all for the sake of seeking the Great Way. Just for a piece of Origin Jade, he was definitely not willing to do so. Moreover, if he missed this opportunity, there might be a next time.
Apart from that, there was also a more realistic consideration. According to the recovery rate of Origin Qi, Zhang Yan should be able to recover his Origin Qi one step ahead of him. At that time, if Zhang Yan used a secret method, he might not have another chance.
At this time, Lu Li also transmitted a message through the Divine Will, "Guangsheng Tianzun, you must not use it again. If you use it again, you will definitely lose your ability to fight. If the Extraterrestrial Demons and the Heartless Dao come down to harm me, I will not be able to stop them alone."
Bai Wei agreed with this point. He said, "Don't worry, Guangsheng Tianzun. I know what to do."
He retreated from the Divine Will and then silently recovered his Origin Qi. Even though Daoist Priest Daoyi kept urging him, he ignored him as if he didn't hear him.
Seeing that the two were not moving, everyone watched with rapt attention. As far as they could see, Bai Wei was not willing to retreat even now because he was unwilling to give up. It was very likely that there would be a second clash, and the result this time would be unpredictable.
Not long after, Zhang Yan's Origin Qi recovered to its peak first, a glint of light flashed across his eyes.
Seeing this, Bai Wei unexpectedly did not make a move. Instead, he cupped his hands and said, "Xuanyuan Tianzun, I have lost this round."
Zhang Yan was not surprised. Once a cultivator entered the True Yang realm, they would be especially protective of their own bodies. This was even more so if it involved their own path of Dao. As long as there was no way out, there was no need to risk their lives. He nodded slightly and said, "I have said, it is not a battle between you and me. This time, you did not lose to me."
Bai Wei shook his head. If he couldn't even suppress his opponent with the help of the Primordial Treasure, what chance would he have of winning if he went up?
He seemed to be in a hurry to leave. After another bow, he retreated and called out to Lu Li. The two figures flashed, and the two white lotuses were already empty.
Seeing Bai Wei admit defeat, Chi Yao felt a little regretful. According to his original plan, the Primordial Demon should have been able to obtain the Yuan Jade, but even if he won, he would have been greatly injured. After that, they could attack when he was at his weakest, and perhaps even obtain the Yuan Jade.
However, he did not expect Zhang Yan to block the Taiyi Golden Bead. The most impossible result had occurred, causing his plan to fail.
Heng Jing transmitted, "That Guangsheng Tianzun must have used up a lot of his Origin Qi. Even though he hasn't finished fighting and has recovered his Origin Qi, he is only barely holding on. Should we give it a try?"
Chi Yao disagreed, "No, there is still Zhiguan Tianzun, and he can also control the Taiyi Golden Bead. The most suitable time to attack is not here."
Heng Jing said, "What a pity. With Demon Lord Chizhou's help, we might have been able to take care of this person."
Chi Yao smiled, "We live in this world for a long time. Since there is no chance this time, let's wait for the next time. Moreover, when we asked for Demon Lord Chizhou's help, we only said to deal with the Taiyi Golden Bead, but we did not say when."
Heng Jing said, "Since there is no chance, there is no need for us to stay here."
Chi Yao nodded in agreement.
The three Demon Lords bowed to the crowd, and with a light shake of the three red lotuses beneath their feet, they disappeared without a trace.
As for Deng Zhang and Yin Ping, they took a deep look at the five-colored brilliance on Zhang Yan's body, and quietly disappeared.
Seeing that everyone had left, Zhang Yan summoned the Yin Yang Pure Seal back and put it into his sleeve.
At this time, Dan Yi came up and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, are you okay?"
Zhang Yan said, "I am fine. I just lost some of my magic power."
Dan Yi was relieved and said with a smile, "That's good. It is all thanks to you that we were able to protect the Primordial Jade this time. We survived this tribulation smoothly, but when it comes to the next tribulation, our Dao will have another one.
We have one more Yuan Venerate. "
After Bai Wei and Lu Li left, they did not go to Bu Xu Tian. Instead, they returned to the Miaokong Realm.
Just Now, when they sat down on the Dharma Throne, there was a flash of golden light, and Daoist Daoyi appeared. With a gloomy expression, he said, "Guangsheng Tianzun, why did you admit defeat?"
Bai Wei sighed, "It is impossible. Can't you see it?"
Daoist Daoist Daoyi sneered, "What is impossible? I am just worried that my Dao foundation will be damaged."
Bai Wei said calmly, "I am indeed worried, but if it is necessary, I will not hesitate to sacrifice myself. But today, the Extraterrestrial Demon and the Heartless Daoist clearly have a plan. I suspect that they have other plans. If I lose too much of my strength, I am afraid that you may not be able to escape unscathed."
Daoist Daoist Daoyi's heart trembled. He had to admit that what Bai Wei said was an excuse, but there was some truth in it. It was possible. Even he himself had doubts about this before.
He stared at the two for a long time, but in the end, he suppressed his curiosity. With a snort, his body flashed, and he disappeared in a flash of golden light.
After returning to Bu Xu Tian, Zhang Yan said goodbye to Dan Yi and the others. Then, with a thought, he landed in the Green Heaven Temple of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
At this moment, the matter of the Primordial Jade had to be arranged as soon as possible. No one knew what would happen if time dragged on.
It was just that his cultivation was too high, so he could not directly take the item. He could not even look at it, so he had to send disciples to retrieve it.
According to his previous calculations, the Primordial Jade would land in the area where the demons of Mount Mandang were gathered.
Although Bai Wei and Lu Li would not interfere again, the demons that had been enlightened with their Dao foundation would not let others take the item so easily. Therefore, the person who went could not be too weak. It would be best if he could kill the people of the past and the future, and also suppress them.
He pondered for a moment, and in his mind, he already had a suitable candidate. He raised his finger, and an order flew toward Xuan Hongtian.
