Inside the Devil Treasury, Zhang Yan let out a long sigh. With a thought, the Golden Seal of Ji Shu that was floating in the air fell into his palm, and he held it tightly.
After nine days of time, he had already roughly refined this golden seal, and it was one day earlier than he had expected. If he was willing, he could already activate the formation door and leave this small world.
However, his ultimate goal for coming here had not been achieved. Whether it was the Sect Leader's secret order or his own goal, he had to find a way to kill that old devil Tai Heng before he could stop.
Even though this action was a narrow escape for him, as long as he was able to accomplish it, he would definitely be able to improve his strength greatly by relying on the Divine Contract Cultivation Technique.
That way, once the Devil Tribulation came, they would have some ability to protect themselves.
How could he miss such an opportunity? No matter how great the risk, he had to give it a try.
After quietly waiting for an entire night, dawn arrived. The first ray of morning light sprinkled onto the glazed tiles of the pagoda and the jade stone of the pagoda. The entire mountain was also slowly immersed in the brilliant golden glow. The vitality of the plants flourished. Another day had begun.
Zhang Yan waved his sleeves and stood up. His eyes shone brightly, and there was a hint of determination and graveness in them.
After standing there for a moment, he took out two talismans from his sleeve and looked at them before nodding slightly.
Among the three talismans given to him by the Sect Leader, he had already used the Exorcism Talisman, leaving behind two talismans. One was a protective talisman, and the other was a flying talisman.
It was precisely because he had these two talismans with him. Only then did he have the confidence to fight Old Ancestor Tai Heng with his life on the line. Otherwise, he might as well just leave this small world and not stay here any longer.
He raised his hand with extreme caution and patted away the protective talisman. Immediately, a ray of light that was as clear as water rose from the broken talisman and wrapped him firmly like a cocoon. His whole body felt as if it was soaking in warm water, giving birth to a sense of warmth.
After he was ready, a confident smile appeared on his face as he slowly walked out of the Demon Treasury. Without turning his head, he flicked his sleeves and the Demon Treasury was pulled up from the ground. With a spin in the air, it turned into energy and flew back into his sleeves.
Zhang Yan leisurely walked out of the pagoda and looked around. The entire mountain was empty. As the birds flew away, they couldn't find Ancestral Patriarch Tai Heng.
Although he could not see the other party, he knew that the other party was definitely nearby, watching his every move. As long as he could find a way out of the formation, he would be able to escape. They would definitely come out to stop him.
He smiled and operated his magic power to turn the Golden Seal of Ji Shu. With a rumble, a tall decorated archway appeared a thousand feet away!
Almost at the same time the formation door was opened. He slapped away the Escape Talisman, and a ray of light shot out like a bolt of lightning.
This time, by activating the Flying Escape Talisman and the Protection Talisman, the two Talisman had already used up all his trump cards.
He wasn't so arrogant as to believe that he had two chances to kill this old demon. Therefore, he was staking everything on a single throw against himself. He didn't leave any leeway for his enemies.
If he didn't force the other party into a corner, he wouldn't have a chance to attack!
Ancestral Patriarch Tai Heng stood in the distance with a look of pity on his face.
Since he knew that the other party might have a way to deal with him, the safest way was to kill him from afar. Ancestral Patriarch Tai Heng even took out a few magic treasures from the stone box. However, Zhang Yan didn't leave the slightest flaw in this place.
Ancestral Patriarch Tai Heng had already imagined this situation. He was thinking that if Zhang Yan had some kind of magic treasure to protect himself, he wouldn't be able to break through it. Since he couldn't break through it, he might as well ignore it.
As long as he was ahead of the others when the formation door opened, he would be able to rush out of this small world first. Once he was out of this small world, he would be able to see the sea and the sky.
However, Zhang Yan's Flying Escape Talisman killed this idea further. It was impossible for him to rush out first.
In that case, the only way was to go forward and try to stop him. That would be the only way.
These thoughts only flashed through Ancestral Patriarch Tai Heng's mind for a moment before he laughed loudly. His body didn't move. The Demonic Jiao Yuanying flew out of the door and turned into a streak of black light. He rushed out with all his might. He was determined to stop Zhang Yan!
In an instant, the two streaks of light charged towards the formation door that was 300 meters away. They were like two meteors that were about to collide with each other.
Zhang Yan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Ancestral Patriarch Tai Heng hadn't arrived yet, but his ferocious aura had already covered the heavens and earth, as if it could drown everything else.
But he wasn't shocked, and he was delighted instead. His gaze stared fixedly at the figure that grew closer and closer, and he calmed his mind. Right at the instant the figure was about to touch him, the space between his brows twitched before a strand of violet black brilliance suddenly appeared, and it carried a grand imposing aura that seemed capable of splitting the heavens and the earth apart as it soared through the sky!
Ancestral Patriarch Tai Heng was shocked and sighed inwardly.
However, when the sword light flew out, he knew that he couldn't block it at all. Even if he was in the Elephant Realm, he would have to retreat under this sword light. Not to mention that he was only in the Yuanying Realm, and he couldn't avoid it at all!
The sword light flashed like a bolt of lightning and cut the Demonic Jiao in half in the blink of an eye!
However, at this moment, a wisp of soul escaped from the Yuanying Realm. With a twist, it avoided the sword light, and then it darted into the space between Ancestral Patriarch Tai Heng's eyebrows!
Zhang Yan's body couldn't help but tremble.
As soon as he rushed into this body, Ancestral Patriarch Tai Heng couldn't wait to rush into the sea of consciousness.
He already had a plan in his mind. Even if he killed the Yuanying Realm, he didn't need to worry about it. Zhang Yan's body had more potential than Yue Yuji's, and his lifespan was longer. Although his cultivation was slightly weaker, he could still cultivate back to his original strength after a few more days.
However, he had used a secret technique of the Devil Path to break through Zhang Yan's protective talismans and the two doors on his treasured clothes. It wasn't without cost, and his soul would inevitably become much weaker. However, Zhang Yan was only a Core Formation cultivator and a member of the Celestial Sect, so how could he compete with him in this Dao?
Ancestral Patriarch Tai Heng entered the sea of consciousness in a flash. He looked up and saw that the sky was vast and the stars were dazzling. A young Daoist sat high up in the sky. When he saw Ancestral Patriarch Tai Heng, the young Daoist stood up and smiled. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior Tai Heng, I've been waiting here for a long time."
Ancestral Patriarch Tai Heng frowned. He snorted coldly and said, "Deliberately mystifying things!"
With a shake of his body, he instantly grew three thousand meters tall and transformed into a ferocious Demon Flood Dragon. He bared his fangs and brandished his claws as he scuttled forward. Along with a boundless tide, he charged forward with the intention of devouring Zhang Yan's soul in one go.
Zhang Yan laughed loudly, and a muddy yellow light rose from his body like a tall mountain. With just a single suppression, he managed to stop the flow of water outside of his body.
Although he looked like he was resisting it with ease, he could feel that his soul was about to disperse under the pressure after being hit by the water. However, he forcefully blocked it with his incomparably firm Dao Heart.
Ancestral Patriarch Tai Heng was slightly surprised. He thought that he could easily defeat Zhang Yan. However, Zhang Yan's soul was far stronger than ordinary cultivators of the Celestial Sect. Although it was inferior to him, it wasn't something that could be taken down in an instant.
His eyes revealed a ruthless and callous look. So what if I am? It was just a struggle before death!
He said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, although your soul is firm and stable, it far surpasses ordinary people. You are far better than ordinary people, but I want to see how long you can last! "
He shouted, and his huge body trembled. Immediately, boundless demonic energy flew out and turned into black smoke and heavenly fire. The monstrous aura seemed to want to burn Zhang Yan to ashes in one breath.
Zhang Yan looked at this shocking scene, but he was not afraid at all. He laughed loudly and said, "Senior Tai Heng, I'm only fighting with my soul. I'm not fighting with Senior. Maybe I'll just have to ask for help. "
He waved his hand, and there was a clear sound of celestial music. A jade slip flew out of nowhere and turned into a jade-colored stream of light, arriving in front of Zhang Yan.
The jade slip circled and floated above his head. Countless auspicious auras floated down. It was filled with clouds, golden light, auspicious clouds, and heavenly flowers.
Not only that, no matter how the demonic energy moved, as soon as it touched the golden light, it would be absorbed into the jade slip. Then, it turned into streams of clear energy and poured into the top of Zhang Yan's head.
Feeling the endless essence in his body nourishing his soul, Zhang Yan felt refreshed. He resisted the heavy pressure and slowly stood up. Then, his body shook, and in the blink of an eye, he became ten thousand zhang tall. He looked down and shouted, "Tai Heng, today, this place will be the place where you bow your head!"
His voice rumbled and shook the surroundings.
Old Ancestor Tai Heng looked at the jade slip that seemed to be an Immortal Magic Treasure, and he couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression. The demonic energy and heavenly fire were formed from his own soul. Every bit he lost was a bit weaker, and he would never be able to replenish it in Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness.
He instantly had a bad feeling. Zhang Yan actually had the help of such a magic treasure. Zhang Yan had clearly set up a trap for him to fall into. But now, he had no way out. He shouted in a low voice, and the sound of thunder instantly resounded. It seemed like the heavens and the earth were collapsing, and it actually stirred up an even more ferocious momentum than before. He suddenly charged over and bit down on Zhang Yan's shoulder.
Actually, in such a cruel battle of souls, it was either you die or I die. There was no room for negotiation. Although Zhang Yan had made arrangements in advance, how could he allow such an old devil to fight in his body unless it was absolutely necessary?
Even with the help of the jade slip, he wasn't confident in his victory.
But at this point, both sides had no way out. They could only fight with their lives on the line.
Zhang Yan snorted and reached out to grab the head of the Demon Wyrm with one hand. His other hand grabbed the Demon Wyrm's body, and with a loud roar, he tore the Demon Wyrm in two.
The Demon Wyrm split apart, and in the blink of an eye, it gathered back into a ball and resumed its original appearance. It didn't stop and pounced forward again.
The two of them rolled around and fought fiercely. Even though they knew that their souls were being continuously weakened by the jade slip, the old devil's attacks were like the tide, fierce and violent. He didn't show the slightest bit of fear or retreat.
But after all, Zhang Yan had the help of the Nine Captions Devil Taming Slip. As long as he didn't get taken down by the Demon Wyrm in one go, he didn't have to worry about any losses. The more he fought, the stronger he became. In the end, Old Ancestor Tai Heng's soul was on the verge of dispersing, and he gradually couldn't hold on any longer.
After an unknown period of time, when Zhang Yan tore the Demon Wyrm's body apart again, he let out a deep sigh, and the Demon Wyrm's body slowly dissipated.
Zhang Yan's body trembled slightly. When he opened his eyes again, it was as if lightning had appeared in the void, and the Demon Wyrm's body slowly dissipated.
Zhang Yan's body trembled slightly. When he opened his eyes again, there seemed to be lightning in the void, shining brightly.
He didn't know how much time had passed in his Knowledge Sea, but in fact, only a moment had passed in the outside world.
He pondered for a moment, then flicked his sleeve and closed the array door. He stood up and turned around in the sky. Then, his eyes flashed, and he landed on the ground.
In front of him, Old Ancestor Tai Heng was sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a piece of broken bone in his hand. He was no longer breathing.
