The series of thunder clashing in the sky spread out for tens of thousands of miles. It lasted for a full 15 minutes before it gradually disappeared. Even then, the entire area was still filled with the echoes.
This was just the two of them casually using it to test the waters. If they went all out, who knows what kind of commotion it would cause.
Zhang Yan's eyes squinted. Although the opponent was reacting, he could see that he didn't use much Essence Energy and Spiritual Power. It was obvious that he understood the mysteries of the Purple Cloud God Lightning, which was why he was able to deal with it so calmly. But since that was the case, then he wouldn't use the Qincang ability.
With another wave of his hand, the yellow smoke in the sky swept over and instantly condensed into an enormous hand that could hold up the heavens, and it pressed down from above. Before it even arrived below, a violent flow of air blasted apart the strong clouds, and it seemed as if it intended to shatter this area of the heavens and the earth!
In the middle pillar continent below, Elder Xue stroked his beard and closed his eyes to sense the situation. At this moment, excitement flashed across his face, "Zhenren Zhang seems to be using a vicious move." Then, he sighed, "Unfortunately, I can't go up and see it for myself."
Ying Chunqiu saw that he forgot to protect the continent beneath him and shook his head. He knew that he couldn't count on this fellow sect member.
He took out a small cauldron from his sleeve, opened the lid, and shook it in his palm. Instantly, it emitted countless wisps of smoke that gathered up the remnant strong clouds in the sky. Then, it formed a thick and solid curtain that supported the sky. Only then was it able to barely isolate the wind pressure and cloud flow outside.
Zhang Yan looked down. Such a direct ability was even more powerful now that he was using it at the Image Phase Realm. One palm was enough to shatter the continent. It wasn't an exaggeration. Logically speaking, unless the opponent could dodge, he could only take it head-on.
However, he judged that this was the first time the two of them clashed head on. With the opponent's stubborn personality, there was a high chance that he wouldn't dodge. Which was why he wanted to see how he would deal with it.
Yan Changsheng looked up at the giant hand. His eyes shone brighter and brighter as he hollered. He said, "Good!"
He pointed with two fingers. A green light flashed. At first, it was just a foot long, but after a breath, it shone with endless light. It almost blocked out the radiance of the sun and moon. Wherever he went. Regardless of whether it was the Astral Wind Sand or the Poisonous Fire Intense Qi, they all disappeared without a trace!
The green light continued to soar into the sky. As soon as they collided with the Xuan Huang hand, the world first darkened before it brightened. This was a flash and then a flash. Without a sound, both of them disappeared without a trace. When one looked over, there was only a clear sky.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but raise his brows and thought to himself, Could it be that divine art? It seems like Perfected Master Yan has many tricks up his sleeves. "
Although he had never seen this Divine Ability, he had seen it in the records of the Du Zhen Palace.
This was created by a Dongtian Zhenren named Yu Liangchen. This Zhenren was also one of the 12 Dongtian Zhenrens who went on an expedition to the Northern Underworld. His Dharma Form was called the Hidden Jade Green Essence by the people of that time. Just like the name of the Dharma Form, once it was used, it could cleanse the impurities, eliminate the external Qi, and calm the spiritual vigor.
Naturally, this technique consumed a lot of vitality and mana. If one side used it a few times, the opponent would not even need to attack and would be worn down.
Zhang Yan also understood this principle. Therefore, he did not hesitate and waved his hand again. Yellow smoke rose and condensed into a giant hand that covered the sky. It slapped down again.
Yan Changsheng snorted and was about to make a move. At this moment, a painting with a faint aura of treasure flew out from his sleeve and took the initiative to meet the attack.
When he saw it, he was instantly displeased and shouted, "I, Yan Changsheng, am fighting. Do you think I need you to interfere?"
The spiritual light trembled and turned into an old man with a cane with a face full of wrinkles. With a look of respect, he cupped his hands together and smiled bitterly, "I, Perfected Master, am being presumptuous.
Please don't blame me. "Yan Changsheng did not care about him. He shook his hand and kept it back into his sleeve. Then, he made a gesture and in the sky, two sharp spiritual shuttles flew out of nowhere. There were a total of 12 shuttles. They turned into golden light and shot towards the giant hand.
In the blink of an eye, they landed on the giant hand. Then, they weaved back and forth like they were weaving a web. For a moment, the sky was filled with golden light.
But the giant hand continued to fall, as if it was not restrained at all.
Yan Changsheng only looked up coldly. His clothes and beard fluttered in the wind. Even though the giant hand was about to fall, his body did not move.
With a boom, under the entanglement of the golden light, the giant hand finally exploded less than a mile away from him.
The twelve Divine Shuttles paused in the sky for a moment before disappearing into the void.
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed when he saw this scene.
If one only cultivated the second half of the Divine Cave Spirit Scripture, then there would be a flaw. The cultivator needed to constantly sense the opponent in order to find out the opponent's strength. However, this would also consume mana. If the battle dragged on, the cultivator would be exhausted and the opponent would easily take advantage of it.
But after cultivating the first and second half together, it was different. Every spiritual shuttle was like the cultivator's eyes and ears. Wherever they went, they could detect the opponent's strength.
According to the sect's records, every time Yan Changsheng attacked, he would first set up the spiritual shuttles to detect the enemy's energy.
Therefore, to defeat the enemy, one must first destroy the spiritual shuttles.
Zhang Yan had the same plan before. But looking at it now, it was obvious that he had reached a higher level in this path. He was able to hide the spiritual shuttles in the void and hide their traces. Therefore, the original plan couldn't be used. Luckily, he had thought about this and was prepared.
But there was one thing that he didn't understand.
Not only could the spiritual shuttles detect energy, they could also be used to attack the enemy. If it was him, he would definitely hide it in the dark and wait for an opportunity to attack. That way, he would be able to obtain miraculous results. Now that it was exposed, it was obvious that he was one step ahead of the others to be on guard.
After thinking about it again, he understood.
This should be because the opponent didn't have enough spiritual energy. If he used supernatural methods, it would consume a lot of energy. Therefore, he had no choice but to use this method in advance.
The real treasure that Just Now showed up should know the reason and came up to cover it. In the end, he was ordered to retreat.
Thinking about this, his eyes were dim. If Yan Changsheng was at his peak, it wouldn't have been so easy. It seemed that the sword from back then had really hurt him.
Yan Changsheng hid the spiritual shuttles in the void. Actually, he had to go through some unknown arrangements. That was why he had to forcefully block the Yellow Hand the first time. Only when it attacked a second time did he use this method. Now, he didn't want to be passive anymore.
With a deep shout, he shook his body and revealed his Dharma Form. In an instant, a giant pagoda heavenly palace that was as majestic as a mountain, with ninety-nine floors, accompanied by wind and lightning, stood proudly in the vault of heaven. With a rumble, it actually released tens of thousands of rays of light, which turned into balls of lightning, covering the sky and earth as it struck down.
Zhang Yan smiled and shook his shoulders slightly. A mass of Chaotic Netherworld Qi appeared behind him. It was deep and unfathomable, as if it contained Yin and Yang and filled up the heaven and earth. With a thought, endless thunder and lightning appeared in his Dharma Form and leaped into the sky to attack.
The two collided and another wave of lightning rippled out.
Yan Changsheng snorted. He didn't want to fight against Zhang Yan's dharma. When fighting against an enemy, it was important to combine the two. Right now, he was using this method to tie down his opponent and defeat him. He had other methods.
After sensing for a while, he had already found his target. With a call in his mind, the twelve spiritual shuttles suddenly flew out from the void and headed in one direction with lightning speed.
Zhang Yan was also alert. He realized that the direction he was heading in was the place where a wisp of Qi of Origin had landed. He was ready to launch a strong attack, so he retracted his thoughts.
However, he was still a step too late. The spiritual shuttles split up and attacked. A few of them intercepted the circuit and a few of them pecked at the dharma, cutting off a section of the Qi of Origin. A wisp of Qi of Origin was also instantly dissipated.
Zhang Yan wasn't infuriated when he saw this, and he nodded instead. His opponent's attack was sharp, decisive, and peerlessly swift. Moreover, his movements were extremely skilled, and he didn't allow the slightest bit of carelessness.
Just Now, although the amount of Qi of Origin that was dissipated wasn't much and it wasn't much to a person from a Grotto-Heaven, the battle wasn't something that could be decided in a short period of time. If this dragged on, his opponent would succeed and it accumulated, it would be a considerable amount.
However, he had already expected this. Yan Changsheng's peers were mostly in the Grotto-Heaven Realm. In addition, he represented the Twelve Grotto-Heaven Realms, so there would definitely be many opportunities for them to learn from each other. Not to mention, he had personally killed a Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivator.
In comparison, he had just obtained a Grotto-Heaven Realm. Although he had forced Luo Mengze to retreat, it was only a single exchange. He hadn't really fought with all his might. In terms of battle experience, he definitely wasn't as good as his opponent.
Since he couldn't defend against it, then he might as well ignore it.
He let out a clear shout, and with a single breath, he sent his Dharma Idol flying for tens of thousands of miles and pressed forward!
As expected, the Heavenly Palace Dharma had no choice but to retreat slightly. It was obvious that it didn't want to fight him head-on. However, halfway through, the Heavenly Shuttle continued to attack and peck at the Qi of Origin.
Zhang Yan, however, didn't move at all. It was as if he didn't care at all. He continued to release his Qi of Origin, which turned into countless bolts of lightning that bombarded his opponent.
No matter how a Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivator fought, this type of frontal attack was always the strongest. As long as the other party didn't escape, he could only try his best to defend. However, this would also consume his own Qi of Origin.
Zhang Yan's strategy was simple. He had already achieved the Dharma. Heaven and Earth were his spiritual cave. He wasn't afraid of consuming Qi of Origin. If you used one part of your strength, I would use five. If it wasn't enough, then I would use ten, or even a hundred! Even if I used one hundred percent of my strength, in the end, I would still be the winner!
This kind of battle formation was upright. No matter how many changes you made, it was useless!
Changsheng Yan didn't know about Zhang Yan's background. He thought that he was taking advantage of his weaker cultivation and insufficient Mana. Therefore, he maintained his frontal attack. However, after fighting for a long time, he realized that even though Zhang Yan's Qi of Origin was consumed, he didn't show any signs of weakening. Instead, he seemed to be getting stronger.
He had a thought and thought to himself, "Could it be that he brought that magical treasure? If that's the case, it's no wonder he has the confidence to compete with me. Let's not tangle with him. "
He shouted and retracted his dharma. He slowly retreated and fought as he retreated.
They were fighting in this place. In the mortal world, the sky above was dark as though dark clouds covered the sky. The sun and moon lost their light. Thunder rumbled beside their ears and lightning flashed. It was unknown how many people were kneeling on the ground and praying to Heaven Duke to quell his anger.
Uh, the battlefield between the two of them was slowly moving towards the northeast. Unknowingly, they had moved from the Middle Pillar Continent to the North Darkstar Continent.
