Regarding Zhang Shuren's current mental state, Yan Zhaoge didn't care about it.
The ferocious swing of the axe almost toppled the towering parasol tree!
Zhang Shuren was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he could only grit his teeth.
He suddenly exerted force, temporarily shaking off the Extreme Yang Seal with a momentary burst of power.
Then, he crossed his palms and changed his stance. Instead of attacking, he focused all his attention on defense.
At this moment, the indomitable Treasured Parasol Tree's form became even more realistic, and its treasured light soared into the sky.
At this moment, this late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint seemed to have transformed entirely into a towering tree that towered into the heavens.
Great Virtue Earth appeared beneath his feet, covering the entire Vast Spirit Mountain. It was connected to the great earth, bearing the weight of the heavens.
The Holy Virtue Water Ripples circled around the foot of the big tree, flowing endlessly, lasting for a long time.
The Purple Light of Fortuitous Virtue flickered on the branches and leaves, and between the dense branches and leaves, wisps of White Qi of Nether Virtue floated, seemingly there and not there.
At this moment, Zhang Shuren raised his defense to the maximum.
His Divine Wutong Palm gave up on offense and focused on defense. It was the number one defensive supreme art of Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope.
Bolstered by the four Virtues at this moment, this was the highest level of defence that a Wutong Slope direct lineage ninth level Martial Saint could attain.
As Yan Zhaoge chopped down with his axe, the treasured Wutong tree did not budge at all!
"Impressive indeed." Yan Zhaoge's eyes lit up as he simply kept the Heaven Earth Reversing Axe, an existence that resembled a dagger whilst also a seal appeared in his hand.
Seeing this, Zhang Shuren laughed in anger, "Another high-grade Sacred Artifact?"
It was the Light Yin Sword Seal.
Wielding the Light Yin Sword Seal, Yan Zhaoge used it as a sword, stabbing towards Zhang Shuren with another Slaying Azure Dragon.
The sword seal landed on the parasol tree that Zhang Shuren had transformed into. The ferocious sword light flickered, and the towering tree suddenly trembled.
Traces of withering suddenly appeared on the surface of the shining tree trunk.
The thick soil of merit floated below, as if it was providing countless nutrients, causing the withered marks on the tree trunk to gradually regain vitality.
But then, under the attack of the sword light, it withered again.
The two sides seemed to be in a stalemate.
While Yan Zhaoge was not anxious, Zhang Shuren's heart instead sunk.
This was because the Extreme Yang Seal that he had just barely managed to jolt back earlier was now smashing down from above once more!
As the golden sun descended, its target was the towering Wutong Tree.
Everyone knew that phoenixes lived in parasol trees.
But at this moment, it was as though a Great Sun Golden Crow had descended from the sky and was about to land on the Wutong Tree.
It didn't matter if the phoenix was happy or not, and it didn't matter if the wutong was happy or not.
Although the entire treasure tree was covered in flames, not only was it not afraid of fire, but it even produced flames of its own.
But at this moment, under the scorching sun, the vigorous branches and leaves of the parasol tree also showed signs of withering!
Yuan Xiancheng finally couldn't hold back anymore. He transformed into a fire phoenix and arrived at the top of the Wutong Tree.
At this moment, the phoenix began to chase away the Golden Crow that was trying to occupy its phoenix nest. Both sides were having a great time fighting.
Yuan Xiancheng flung his Five Phoenix Fan into the leaves and lent it to Zhang Shuren for the time being.
Zhang Shuren, however, did not use it. At this time, he could only defend with all his might. Wielding the Five Phoenix Fan, he could only be beaten by Yan Zhaoge's dark green bamboo cane in vain.
This longtime Elder of Wutong Slope calmed his heart at this moment. Even as he focused on defending against Yan Zhaoge's attacks, he was also observing Yan Zhaoge.
After the great battles with Daoist East Spring, Zhao Zhen and Yuan Xiancheng, Yan Zhaoge was now clashing with him, Zhang Shuren.
Even many ninth level Martial Saints and late Immortal Bridge Martial Saints of the same cultivation level as him would be greatly depleted even if they were not exhausted.
Yan Zhaoge's expression was as per usual as his breathing was much heavier than before, even having traces of it.
The two qis of yin and yang manifested as black and white which were unceasingly inhaled and exhaled by him.
Yet, Yan Zhaoge's breathing did not become chaotic or hurried in the slightest even when clashing with a ninth level Martial Saint bigwig like Zhang Shuren as it always maintained a slow and stable rhythm.
Between his chest and abdomen, crimson, white, green, red and black lights flickered as they circulated unceasingly.
A Taiji diagram was also indistinctly visible on his forehead as it circulated unceasingly.
Seeing this, Zhang Shuren was even more shocked, "No wonder he is so powerful! How many supreme martial arts exactly does this youth possess? "
"Senior apprentice-uncle Zhang, this Yan Zhaoge is at least proficient in the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture of the Jade Clear direct lineage's Earlier Heaven Three Scriptures as well as the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture and Life Creation Heavenly Scripture of the Later Heaven Six Scriptures," Seeing that his senior apprentice-uncle wanted to fight a protracted battle with Yan Zhaoge, Yuan Xiancheng hurriedly reminded him.
Zhang Shuren said, "This old one knows. Apart from that, it's very likely that he has the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture. Moreover, I don't know if it's related to Ingenious Flying Peak. He also knows the Taiji Yin Yang Palm of the Grand Clear lineage's Grand Cosmos Five Manifestations!"
"Just how old is this kid?" Zhang Shuren gasped as he spoke.
The higher the peak of the Absolute Art, the more profound the principles it contained. If a martial artist wanted to cultivate it to a certain level, they would need to spend a lot of effort.
Flipping Heavens Book, Yin Yang Heavenly Book, Tai Chi Yin-Yang Palm, any one of these Absolute Arts, most people would have to devote their entire life to practice it.
Of course, the time and effort required was enough to create a top-notch powerhouse.
With so many Absolute Arts, it was not that unbelievable that the young man in front of him could have such terrifying strength.
However, it was easier said than done.
How did he do it?
This was even more unbelievable.
First not mentioning Zhang Shuren's many years of adventuring in the World beyond Worlds, even Yuan Xiancheng had already been famed for many years despite being very young amongst martial practitioners of the same cultivation level.
They had seen innumerable geniuses of all sorts. Still, the Yan Zhaoge before them still vaguely caused their worldview to be overturned.
Why was it that even the opposing southeastern Yang Heaven Territory was rather impressed by Yuan Xiancheng's strength?
Whatever the reason, he was currently the only person of Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope who was already simultaneously bearing four Virtues before having reached the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm, the late Immortal Bridge stage.
This had paved the path towards the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm for Yuan Xiancheng. As long as his accumulation was sufficient, the late Immortal Bridge stage would most definitely be his.
Like his Master Zhuang Shen, he would also have great hopes of attaining the Human Exalt realm.
Did the other martial practitioners of Wutong Slope not want to be like him?
Of course they wanted to. Yet, they were unable to do so.
Before learning how to run, they could only steadily walk forward step by step.
While Yuan Xiancheng was an unparalleled genius, it was also due to fortuitous encounters that he had been able to surpass normal logic and attain his current heights.
Yet, as compared to Yan Zhaoge, the gap was so great that it left the Wutong Slope martial practitioners wide-eyed and tongue-tied.
Let alone the fact that Yan Zhaoge was much younger than Yuan Xiancheng, even if they were of the same age, the gap would still be too great.
"The Cyclic Heavenly Scripture. He actually possesses the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture of the Jade Clear lineage's Earlier Heaven Three Scriptures. With this, the density and density of his true essence far surpasses that of a Seeing Divinity Martial Saint." Zhang Shuren felt a bitter taste in his mouth, "Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture, Taiji Yin Yang Palm, two supreme arts of the Jade Clear and Grand Clear at the same time? In that case, his recovery speed is even faster than mine. "
"If he also cultivates the Life Creation Heavenly Tome, it will further strengthen his True Essence accumulation and recovery."
The Elder of Wutong Slope looked at Yan Zhaoge like he was looking at a monster.
At this rate, it was hard to say who would be the first to be exhausted to death.
