Lin Gui's aura seemed to have become more exuberant because he had resolved his worries. However, his aura did not contain killing intent like before. Instead, it was purely because he wanted to fight Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Then I'd like to see what you're capable of, Elder Lin."
He also knew that under the current circumstances, not to mention Lin Gui's desire to fight, if Lin Gui did not fight with him, he would not be able to go back and answer to Daoist Xing. If that happened, his clansmen might immediately be implicated.
He had never seen a cultivator like Lin Gui who had almost innate achievements. However, he had encountered many mystical creatures who had innate achievements. For example, the ancient gods, including Ipar, were such creatures. The Moqi Clan could also be considered as one of them.
The reason why these clansmen could achieve this was mostly because they had obtained a part of the supreme power. Therefore, he speculated that Lin Gui's ability to possess such power might be related to an upper realm almighty.
In fact, his judgment was not far from Yuan Xia's. That was why Yuan Xia had been suppressing Lin Gui to prevent him from breaking through to the upper realm at any time.
When Lin Gui saw that Zhang Yu had accepted the challenge, his fighting spirit was even stronger. He said, "Excuse me." As soon as he finished speaking, he tapped his foot and turned into a fiery light that charged toward Zhang Yu. He did not use any special attack methods. He just crossed his arms in front of him and directly collided with him.
Lin Gui relied on his body and his extremely powerful strength to fight. The rest of his supernatural powers and Daoist techniques were born to complement these two strengths.
He usually used this method to fight against the otherworldly cultivators from Yuan Xia. If the other party could not react in time, he would usually be smashed into pieces with a single collision.
However, this time, when he rushed forward, he saw a flawless hand reach out slowly but quickly, pressing down on his crossed arms. His entire forward momentum was abruptly stopped.
Lin Gui grinned. Since Zhang Yu could stop him, he could also dodge. However, he still did so to show that he was not afraid of facing him head-on.
Although this was what he wanted to see, he also believed that this was not the right way to deal with his attack.
The moment the two of them collided, his figure suddenly turned illusory and actually faded away. At the same time, another one of him appeared in the distant sky. After a slight pause, it charged towards Zhang Yu without any change in momentum.
Zhang Yu watched his movements and could see that his ability was basically the same as the information that had been transmitted through the Void Dust. Lin Gui had also reached the realm of seeking the complete Dao. According to the information that had been transmitted, his Dao was called "Multiplication and Inclination".
Once this person launched an attack, if it wasn't stopped at the beginning, then this person could continue to attack continuously.
Once this person unleashed their Daoist Arts, they would have the ability to 'avoid life and death and turn the void into reality'. When this person launched an attack, even if one was able to forcefully block or kill him, he would still be born from the void and continue to launch an attack that had yet to end.
If that was all, it would be easy to deal with. The key was that if this person's attack was blocked, then the next time, his strength would continue to increase based on the original foundation. If this continued, then his battle ability would increase and his speed would become faster and faster until the enemy couldn't withstand it and completely defeated the enemy.
It was impossible to find a way to kill this person by repeatedly killing him and then finding the Godly Illusory Land. This was because this person did not have the Godly Illusory Land. Instead, he seemed to be entrusted with some high-level Dao, or rather, he was a part of that Dao.
Back then, it was also because of this that in the final battle to destroy the Furnace World Region, Yuan Xia's various Dao techniques could not do anything to this person. Surrounded by Yuan Xia's high-level Dao cultivators, this person had destroyed countless people's bodies. If it wasn't for the threat of other people's people, this battle would have dragged on for who knows how long.
It was also because of this that Cai Li was deeply aware of this person's power, which was why he had sent a message to Zhang Yu in advance.
Although Zhang Yu knew all this and understood that Lin Gui's advantage was in head-on combat, he still chose to fight him face to face.
Against this person, any fancy Dao techniques would be useless. This was because no matter how many times you defeated or killed him, he could still be reborn. This was another kind of coexistence of illusory and reality.
However, there was definitely a limit to this person's power.
Through his self-assessment, he judged that in terms of Enlightened Mana, he was actually not far from the peak that could not be improved. At most, he was just a hair's breadth away. Therefore, even if someone really managed to improve to that level, as long as they did not surpass to a higher realm, he believed that he could deal with them.
Another reason was that he was here with his external body, and the techniques that he could use were actually very limited. However, there was only one type of power that he could use without any restrictions, and that was the power of the Dao seal.
Ever since he obtained the Life Seal, he had not met an opponent who could truly compete with him in terms of power. As the Life Seal was absorbed, it caused the other Dao seals to be guided to more power.
However, if he relied solely on his own cultivation, it would be very slow for his Heart Light to rise. However, if he had an opponent, especially if he did not engage in a contest of Dao techniques and only clashed with pure strength, he could force himself to unearth more power.
Faced with Lin Gui's attack again, he still did not dodge. He held up two fingers and suddenly extended them, accurately tapping on his opponent's crossed arms. It was as if the previous scene was repeating itself, and Lin Gui was once again stopped by his power.
There was some surprise on Lin Gui's face, but there was more excitement. Generally speaking, after an opponent discovered the characteristics of his Dao technique, they would not choose to meet him head-on. Instead, they would use other methods to resist him. Although they might not be useful, at least they could prevent his power from continuously increasing.
However, Zhang Yu did not seem to have any qualms in this regard.
Lin Gui's figure disappeared from where he was once again. At the same time, another Lin Gui appeared in the distance. He stared at Zhang Yu, and this time, he began to take this opponent seriously. He shouted loudly, and light soared from his body. With a flash of flowing light, he instantly crossed the distance between the two of them and threw a punch at Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu's body slowly floated up. This time around, his eyes flashed with divine light as he clearly saw the strongest point of Qin Wentian. With a shift of his heart, boundless astral light transformed into a gigantic palm that pushed downwards.
Seeing this, Lin Gui roared and threw a punch, bringing along a wild meteor that crashed into the huge palm of starlight!
Boom!
Due to the fact that both of them were exceptionally proficient in controlling their powers, there was no leakage of power during this contact. They had completely withstood the power within their bodies.
However, their bodies did not shake at all because of this. Clearly, this kind of power was not enough to shake them.
Lin Gui laughed loudly. After his figure disappeared, he appeared again. He pushed all the power in his body to continue crashing towards Zhang Yu.
At this moment, he did not care whether he could defeat his opponent or not, nor did he care whether he could achieve any results. He just completely let go of his strength and felt it constantly improve with each collision.
He had never released his power so freely. Until now, no one had been willing to do this.
On the other hand, Zhang Yu's will was lofty and unfathomable. He stood firmly where he was and continued to push and tap into the power of his Life Seal. The light of his heart was endlessly sent out, and it became more and more powerful. With every collision, he felt that his own power was being pushed upwards, as if he was moving upwards along the tentacles of the Great Dao.
However, this progress quickly slowed down. This was because although Lin Gui's power was increasing, he no longer had the same momentum as before.
He felt that it was a pity. Even if Lin Gui's power could increase endlessly, the increase in power would generally become weaker and weaker. This was because the barrier to the upper realm was there, and it was not so easy to break through.
Lin Gui's fists continued to clash with the light of his heart, becoming fiercer and fiercer each time. After an unknown number of clashes, his body solidified, and he no longer assumed an attacking posture. Instead, he took the initiative to stop.
He looked at Zhang Yu with a sliver of admiration in his eyes. At the same time, he said with some regret, "I can't defeat you. There's no need to continue fighting."
Although he would gain a slight advantage after each collision, this advantage was actually negligible. In particular, the increase in power became weaker and weaker towards the end. It was almost impossible for him to overwhelm Zhang Yu. Moreover, after a period of silence, Zhang Yu's power would suddenly increase, catching up to him and being able to remain in a stalemate with him.
Lin Gui was the first opponent who could contend with him head-on in terms of power without using any divine abilities or spells. Moreover, he could not defeat him.
Zhang Yu glanced at Lin Gui's necklace and the bone bracelet on his wrist. He said, "Lin Shangzhen, you're being too modest. You've only used your own power in this battle, and you haven't used any magic tools. It's still not enough to determine the outcome."
Lin Gui said, "That's right. I still have magic tools, and I have more methods to increase my battle prowess, but so what? You're only here as an external body, and you haven't used any other methods to fight me. " He raised his fist and said calmly, "I'm wholeheartedly convinced by this battle. Moreover, I've already obtained the answer I wanted."
He raised his hand and bowed at Zhang Yu. Solemnly, he said, "I've done what I should. I'll have to trouble you to take care of my clansman. I hope he can continue the bloodline of our clan."
Zhang Yu nodded. He knew that when Lin Gui said that, it meant that he had already made his choice. He had placed the last hope of his clan on Tianxia.
He looked at him and said, "I'll take good care of Lin Shangzhen's clan. Lin Shangzhen needs to be careful too."
Lin Gui laughed out loud and said, "They don't need me. Speaking of which, we've fought for so long, and I haven't asked for your name yet. However, that's not too important. It won't be too late to tell if we meet again in the future. Goodbye!"
With that, he bowed again. Qi flames surged from his body, and he flew into the air. As he charged above the sky, the world shattered like glass, revealing the void outside.
Zhang Yu stood there, his sleeves fluttering in the wind. Countless fragments of light fell from the sky, and in his eyes, that scarlet light flickered for a moment before disappearing into the ends of the void.
