After Zhang Xuan had shed his identity as a Celestial Master Teacher and released the aura of the five acknowledgements of the heavens, the entire Master Teacher Continent was in an uproar.
Previously, when Zhang Xuan obtained the recognition of Heaven and Earth, he only appeared in Mingshi Tang in a small circle and was then suppressed by the famous teachers. Almost no one knew about it. However, at this moment, the aura of Heaven and Earth's recognition spread down, and everyone saw the figure who was contending against Zhang Xuan.
If he still didn't understand, he would really be a fool.
Yet another Celestial Master Teacher had appeared on the Master Teacher Continent, and more importantly … that fellow actually wanted to resign from his position …
"As expected of teacher …"
Zhang Jiuxiao's eyes were filled with admiration.
After learning of his teacher's identity, he didn't hesitate to acknowledge him as his teacher, but in the end … his teacher actually didn't care about his identity at all, rejecting him just like that …
As expected, his moral character was noble and admirable!
Unbeknownst to the world, Zhang Xuan was still standing in front of the barrier as he continued to exert his zhenqi outward.
If he did not fully utilize the power of the Celestial Master Teacher, he would never be able to become the teacher of the world and achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage!
Creak creak!
The pressure of heaven and earth seemed to want to crush his soul. Zhang Xuan's face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell whether he was in a good mood or not.
In truth, Zhang Xuan had been a little hesitant to deny his identity as a Celestial Master Teacher, but after coming into contact with the barrier and receiving Kong Shi's legacy, he realized that Kong Shi … had walked down this path as well!
The other party had been a Celestial Master Teacher as well, but he had also given up on that identity in the end.
Otherwise, even the strongest cultivators in this world would only be able to become Ancient Sages. It would be nigh impossible for them to leave the Master Teacher Continent and ascend to higher planes!
Because obtaining the acknowledgement of this world was equivalent to being shackled within this world, and if one wanted to escape, one had to first break through the shackles of one's own body.
Rather than saying that he had come up with this method, it would be better to say that he was following the path that Kong Shi had taken back then.
Following his footsteps, she continued forward.
Crack!
Zhang Xuan released the Master Teacher Aura in his body cleanly, but the world seemed to be unable to withstand his blasphemy. Dark clouds appeared in the sky once more, and innumerable lightning bolts and flames blazed in the sky, obscuring even the sun and moon.
"He's here …"
Zhang Xuan stood in the underground palace and did not leave.
If he were to head out now, the power of the lightning tribulation would surely sweep through the entire Tianxuan Kingdom, and this kingdom would be reduced to hell.
If he stayed in this underground palace, if the other party wanted to attack him, he would be enveloped by the grand formation outside. As long as he could withstand it, this unranked ancient land would not be harmed at all.
Huala!
The tribulation lightning slowly gathered in the air, once again forming a massive saber. Flames and lightning continuously revolved around it, and space seemed like it could crumble at any moment.
The most fearsome Ancient Sage Ordeal … the Ordeal of Lightning Armament. He did not think that it would appear once more.
Whoosh!
The lightning soldiers charged straight towards the underground palace. In the blink of an eye, they stopped above Zhang Xuan's head and slowly sliced down.
Hiss!
In the blink of an eye, the formation and space of the underground palace were torn apart like a piece of paper, unable to withstand a single blow.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time …"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up as he raised his fist to face the lightning soldiers.
Back when he faced the Ordeal of Lightning Armament, he had been too weak to withstand it. However, with his current strength, even though he was unable to use the Dragonbone Divine Spear, his physical body, soul, and zhenqi cultivation were already on par with Blood Reincarnation realm experts.
Boom!
Zhang Xuan's fist collided with the lightning soldiers, and he was forced to retreat several steps. His fist was stained with fresh blood.
From the looks of it, even with his enhanced cultivation, he was still unable to withstand the lightning soldiers.
Previously, he had only been able to overcome the Ordeal of Lightning Armament with the help of several hundred cultivators and the Minor Ordeal of Lightning Armament. Even though he did not have those resources to rely on, that did not mean that Zhang Xuan would give up so easily.
With a light step, he arrived before the barrier and charged forward once more.
The underground palace shook intensely, and it looked as if it would collapse at any moment. The massive weapon carried the might of lightning and heavenly flames, threatening to burn the entire ground into nothingness.
Once more, Zhang Xuan's back crashed into the barrier, causing a huge shockwave to ripple through the air.
The might of the lightning soldiers did not diminish, and it struck the barrier as well.
Weng!
With a light buzz, a small hole was formed in the barrier, and the black flames only managed to burn for a moment before they were finally stopped by the barrier.
"It's indeed working!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement.
The reason he had chosen to summon the lightning tribulation here was not just to comprehend the Ordeal of Lightning Armament, but more importantly, he wanted to use the might of the Ordeal of Lightning Armament to destroy the barrier.
Given how the barrier was able to withstand even Vicious' strength, it would be nigh impossible for him to destroy it with brute force alone. Even though it was left behind by Kong Shi, it seemed like the other party had not activated it just because he was a Celestial Master Teacher.
Since that was the case, he would just have to use the Ordeal of Lightning Armament to shatter it!
Opening his fist into a palm, Zhang Xuan thrust it toward the lightning soldiers once more.
Kacha! Kacha!
The lightning soldiers struck him time and time again, but the might of their attacks were all channeled into the barrier behind him. Eventually, the previously undamaged barrier finally caved in, and cracks began appearing on it.
However, in the process of channeling the might of the lightning soldiers, Zhang Xuan's physical body had sustained severe damage as well. It looked as if it would shatter at any moment.
"Sovereign Chen Ling!"
With a thought, Zhang Xuan morphed into Sovereign Chen Ling once more. Uncorking the bottle, he released the unique energy that he had absorbed previously.
This energy was something that Sovereign Chen Ling had obtained from the gods, and it was extremely effective in recovering from his injuries.
After absorbing half a bottle of energy, Zhang Xuan was able to make a full recovery from his injuries.
Boom boom boom!
The lightning soldiers struck the barrier again and again, and the cracks that had already appeared on the barrier grew larger and larger, threatening to tear it apart at any moment.
At the same time, the Ordeal of Lightning Armament had also expended a huge portion of its energy, causing it to look much weaker than before.
"It's indeed possible to exhaust one another …"
Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed like the risk he had taken was worth it. Even though he was still unable to become the teacher of the world, he had managed to shake off his identity as a Celestial Master Teacher, allowing his fighting prowess to soar once more.
Furthermore, he had successfully destroyed the barrier as well. He had no idea what lay beyond the barrier, but considering how well-hidden it was, it was likely that it had something to do with the Hundred Schools of Philosophers.
Even if that was not the case, it was definitely related to Kong Shi. As long as he could follow in the latter's footsteps, he would surely be able to leave this dimension and ascend to a higher dimension, where he would be able to find Lozosy.
Kacha! Kacha!
The Ordeal of Lightning Armament struck the barrier twice more, and the cracks grew larger and larger. By this point, it was already large enough for a person to pass through. At the same time, the ominous clouds in the sky also began to dissipate.
Another dozen breaths later, the barrier finally reached its limit and burst open.
The Ordeal of Lightning Armament that had been attacking relentlessly had finally been sapped dry of its energy. With a light tap from Zhang Xuan, it dissipated into a gust of wind.
"Let's head in!"
Seeing that he had finally overcome the Ordeal of Lightning Armament, Zhang Xuan did not even have the time to check on the energy within his body. Thus, he dived right into the crack in the barrier.
Zheng Yang and Wei Ruyan nodded. They quickly sent a message to Zhao Ya and the others before following behind Zhang Xuan.
