"Zhang Yu?"
With the combined efforts of Kunlun in Zhang Yu's palm and the descendants of immortals, the attack that Taihao Zhenjun and others were about to unleash on the lower-level cultivators was forcibly removed.
But just as the light of the twenty-odd Nascent Soul cultivators faded, an even more surging power erupted from them.
If the previous display of power was merely a casual exercise to deal with lower-level cultivators, then this moment marks the moment when True Monarch Taihao and the others are truly taking action seriously.
Upon seeing Zhang Yu and sensing his Nascent Soul realm, and upon recognizing the name of True Monarch Zhuyi, True Monarch Taihao's fighting spirit increased tenfold, even a hundredfold.
At this moment, he seemed to recall his previous failed experience. That time, he, along with True Lord Liujin and True Lord Huanyue, infiltrated the ten campuses, intending to kidnap Bai Zhenzhen.
Speaking of which, True Lord Taihao had once placed a deposit to purchase Bai Zhenzhen's physical body from Wang Yin when she was in her first stage. However, as Bai Zhenzhen grew and the situation changed, True Lord Taihao no longer intended to risk acquiring her.
However, the conditions offered by the auspicious god for that mission were so generous that even True Lord Taihao couldn't help but be tempted. As a result, the three of them encountered Zhang Yu during that mission.
After a series of attacks, Taihao Zhenjun and his companions were still unable to subdue Zhang Yu when Wanfa's reinforcements arrived just in time. Faced with the encirclement of dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs, Taihao Zhenjun and his companions were forced to self-destruct, suffering a tremendous loss.
That battle severely damaged Taihao Zhenjun's vitality, almost wiping out most of his wealth. Fortunately, with the start of the battle for the Nascent Soul stage, the alliance leader Fuxiantian finally agreed to accept his bow and was recognized as Taihao's godfather.
All the resources within the Righteous Alliance were opened up to these Nascent Soul True Monarchs to help them improve their strength, all for the sake of the upcoming decisive battle.
"This is the superiority of the Righteous Alliance in terms of its system, which is far superior to the corrupt and rigid Ten Schools."
Taihao Zhenjun stared intently at Zhang Yu, thinking to himself, "Zhang Yu, this time it's not us who have to fight outnumbered, but you."
So the moment Zhang Yu appeared, Taihao Zhenjun let out a loud shout in the battle group.
"Go all out! His Kunlun Palm can't stop so many of us! Shatter his magic power!"
At the same time, it was as if invisible flames had ignited all over Liu Jin Zhenjun's body, and he immediately pushed forward with all his might the cultivation of the Burning Dao and Loaning Life Scripture.
His nascent soul burst forth, instantly transforming from an old man into an infant, and struck Zhang Yu with lightning speed.
"Zhang! Yu!"
Liu Jin Zhenjun glared at Zhang Yu. He had been besieged twice by the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Myriad Laws because of Zhang Yu. Before he could even unleash his full power, he had to self-destruct and die, and his debts kept piling up.
Now that he has been resurrected for the second time, his cultivation level is far inferior to before, and his resentment towards Zhang Yu has reached its peak.
While vigorously pushing his cultivation, True Monarch Liujin roared in his heart: "Zhang Yu... a super rich person like you can just wave your hand and have a group of Nascent Soul cultivators surround and attack us, forcing us to self-destruct and die."
"For you, Kunxu is a wonderful world, right? You have loving teachers, obedient employees, inexhaustible wealth, and boundless connections. What we struggle for for years, even decades or hundreds of years, is within your grasp."
"And what I need to gain is only the constant burning of my cultivation, only the repeated rebuilding..."
"This Kunxu belongs to you, and has nothing to do with us."
"This Kunxu... should have been destroyed long ago!"
"Today I'm going to burn you, and all the assets of this hundred million pauper under your feet, to ashes! I'll let you experience what it feels like to be bankrupt!"
With a loud shout, True Monarch Liujin and the other 20 Nascent Soul cultivators attacked together.
With the rapid exchange of information, they attacked Zhang Yu from different angles and directions, using different attack methods, without leaving any blind spots. They cooperated and joined forces in the most perfect way, maximizing the destructive power of each individual.
Feeling the perfect coordination between himself and his companions, True Monarch Liujin thought to himself, "This time, it's our turn to gang up on you! The advantage is on our side!"
But the next moment, as the light flickered, the power unleashed by Liu Jin Zhenjun and the others vanished once more, as if swallowed up along with the darkness.
True Monarch Liujin knew that this was the Kunlun in Zhang Yu's palm taking effect. He had seen a similar power when he, True Monarch Taihao, and True Monarch Huanxue attacked Zhang Yu together.
However, on that occasion, Zhang Yu mainly used spatial teleportation and had not yet demonstrated an ability to completely devour others.
"But it's okay..."
"No matter what kind of cultivation method it is, it will inevitably consume energy."
In a flash, Liu Jin Zhenjun had already completed his thought: "With his own strength, he will soon be exhausted if he tries to resist the siege of 21 of us."
But the next moment, to the astonishment of True Monarch Liujin, Zhang Yu opened his palm, revealing one of the light spheres, each about the size of a thumb.
The sphere emitted a dazzling light, within which surged streaks of lightning, sword energy, and malevolent energy, exuding a destructive aura.
"That was... our attack just now?!"
Liu Jin Zhenjun instinctively stopped in his tracks, about to retreat, thinking to himself, "Oh no! He's going to use our previous attack to retaliate... We can't fall for it!"
"He can't control this power for long. As long as we get out of the way in advance, we'll let him blow himself up..."
But in the next instant, what Zhang Yu did made Liu Jin Zhenjun's eyes widen in surprise, and the Burning Dao Loan Life Scripture that Liu Jin was frantically pushing forward seemed to pause at this moment.
Zhang Yu simply squeezed his palm lightly, his movements as effortless as if he were crushing an ant.
However, when Zhang Yu opened his palm again, the ball of light that had just contained destructive power had vanished without a trace, as if it had been completely extinguished with a gentle squeeze.
"What!!"
"Our combined attack of 21 Nascent Soul True Monarchs was just... just like that..."
In that instant, not only Liu Jin Zhenjun, but also the other Nascent Soul Zhenjuns who participated in the attack just now, all gasped in shock, deeply stunned by Zhang Yu's actions.
At this moment, Zhang Yu was unfathomable in their eyes, like an endless abyss devouring everything that approached him.
This intimidation caused their offensive to pause for a moment, as if by instinct.
This instant was the opening Zhang Yu wanted, and also the reason he wanted to intimidate his opponent.
In that instant, Zhang Yu reached out and grabbed Taihao Zhenjun.
“He wants to deal with me first!” Taihao Zhenjun’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly thought: “That’s it. His Kunlun Palm is best at teleporting space and using the opponent’s strength against them. Ordinary methods are not enough to deal with him.”
"But my 'Mastery of Transferring Ancestry' can transcend space. As long as someone kneels before me, even if there's a spatial barrier between us, they will become my godfather..."
In particular, after Taihao Zhenjun obtained Fuxiantian's consent and became the godfather of this immortal disciple, his "Wonderful Scripture of Transferring Ancestry and Changing Ancestors" broke through its shackles and gained an additional layer of mystery.
Originally, when the other party was still alive, he would perform the worship. However, unless the other party fully agreed, he would suffer a backlash. In order to gain a new adoptive father, he would have to kill the other party while borrowing a portion of the other party's cultivation and power.
The current Taihao Zhenjun... simply put, is a godson of his rank, and is qualified to recognize almost anyone as his godfather.
Even when faced with a group of living people, he would kneel down and acknowledge them all as his godfather.
The exceptions are cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, or those with immortal backgrounds; he cannot force them to become his godfathers.
Of course, there is a limit to the number of such worships. Once the limit is reached, the previous adoptive father must be killed in order to recognize a new adoptive father.
At this moment, Taihao Zhenjun's target was naturally Zhang Yu.
As he gazed at Zhang Yu's hand, which seemed to grow larger and larger in his eyes, Taihao Zhenjun's mind was still racing: "It is precisely because of the profound mystery of my 'Mysterious Scripture of Shifting Ancestors' that he wants to deal with me first."
"Because Zhang Yu has already realized that I am his greatest nemesis in this battle, and the key to defeating him as quickly as possible..."
Although he had many thoughts in his mind, with Taihao Zhenjun's Nascent Soul cultivation and the computing power and thinking ability provided by his level 40 Dao Heart, everything was completed in the blink of an eye.
While he was thinking, he also made his move, suddenly kneeling down before Zhang Yu.
"First bow! Borrowing fortune!"
As his knees slowly sank, Zhang Yu's palm grew longer and wider, as if it were covering the sky, instantly filling Taihao Zhenjun's vision, like a sky enveloping him.
As Zhang Yu's hand drew closer, Taihao Zhenjun showed no panic, but simply quickened his kneeling motion.
"No one can attack me faster than I kneel down."
"Zhang Yu, please accept my bow..."
Bang!
With a loud bang, Taihao Zhenjun felt himself kneeling heavily on a floating ground.
But looking at the floating ground in front of him, he suddenly paused for a moment.
Where did this textured floating ground come from?
And... who are those giants in the distance? Is it True Lord Liu Jin? True Lord Huan Que? When did they become so big?
"No, it's not that they got bigger, it's that I got smaller."
Just as this thought flashed through Taihao Zhenjun's mind, he saw a photo in the combat group.
The photo shows Taihao Zhenjun shrunk to the size of an insect, kneeling in Zhang Yu's palm, facing outwards.
True Lord Liu Jin: "Tai Hao! You've been trapped by Zhang Yu! Break free!"
Taihao Zhenjun: "What?"
Upon seeing this scene, Taihao Zhenjun moved and immediately tried to turn around and kneel down to Zhang Yu behind him.
But upon making this movement, Taihao Zhenjun realized that he felt as if he were being suppressed by a mountain, and he could not move an inch.
He then realized that layers of spatial barriers had somehow completely enveloped him, clinging tightly to his body and keeping him in a kneeling position.
Just then, Zhang Yu's voice came: "I said if you like kneeling, then kneel for the rest of your life. Don't get up."
At the same time, Zhang Yu moved his hand, turning the direction in which Taihao Zhenjun was kneeling towards Liujin Zhenjun and the others.
Upon witnessing this scene, Liu Jin Zhenjun and the others scattered in fright, none of them daring to let Zhang Yu's palm be pointed at them.
Below the battlefield, Chang Buxiu watched this scene with a shocked expression, muttering, "True Monarch Zhuyi, he single-handedly blocked so many Nascent Soul cultivators from the Righteous Alliance?"
At this moment, all the low-level cultivators present, including college students, junior college students, and high school students, looked towards the battlefield in the sky.
Originally, when they arrived at the fifth floor of Kunxu, in addition to the joy of grabbing red envelopes, they also felt the excitement of visiting the fifth floor of Kunxu for the first time.
After all, given their status and wealth, they would normally never have had the chance to visit the fifth level of Kunxu.
So when they first arrived at the fifth floor of Kunxu, they all lingered there, taking photos and videos, wanting to stay a little longer.
This is also one of the reasons why the retreat was slow after a large number of low-level cultivators gathered.
When True Monarch Taihao and his group descended with intense killing intent and malice, many low-level cultivators felt as if the end of the world had come. In particular, feeling the power released by the other party, they could not muster the slightest will to resist, and felt that they would die here at any moment.
At that moment, they felt like weeds, about to be easily eliminated by Taihao Zhenjun and the others. Until Zhang Yu appeared, first extinguishing the brilliance of Taihao Zhenjun and the others, and then blocking the attacks of 21 Nascent Soul True Monarchs in succession.
This reflects both shock at Zhang Yu's formidable strength and shock at his actions.
Chang Buxiu shouted excitedly, "True Lord Zhuyi is protecting us! He fought against 21 Nascent Soul True Lords all by himself to protect us!"
Another college student exclaimed excitedly, "He's already so rich, yet he still wants to save us!"
Another junior colonel said, "That means he values us too! Otherwise, why would he protect us?!"
Yes, if True Lord Zhuyi hadn't thought they were valuable, why would he have fought against 21 Nascent Soul True Lords to protect them?
Upon realizing this, countless cultivators at the lower levels felt that their value had been recognized, especially by the incredibly wealthy True Monarch Zhuyi.
College students are valuable! Junior college students are valuable! High school students are also worth protecting, just like the True Lord Candlelight! They are not weeds.
In an instant, seeing the True Monarch Zhuyi standing in front of them, a large number of low-level cultivators cheered.
But faced with their cheers, Zhang Yu simply projected his message downwards: What are you yelling about? Retreat!
Lines of text appeared before the eyes of the many low-level cultivators: Get away from the battlefield immediately, and do not let a single one die!
Upon seeing the text projected by Zhang Yu, Chang Buxiu was shocked: "True Lord Zhuyi, such a wealthy and powerful person, was actually listening to what we were saying while fighting against 21 Nascent Soul True Lords? He was listening to our voices!"
At this moment, a feeling seemed to well up in the hearts of many low-level cultivators: True Monarch Zhuyi was different.
Following Zhang Yu's reminder, a large number of lower-level cultivators began to retreat.
Watching this scene from not far away, True Monarch Tianzhang thought to himself, "As expected of the disciple of Divine Monarch Ciji, True Monarch Zhuyi has truly inherited the demeanor of the Divine Monarch and has the potential to become a Divine Transformation Master."
In the eyes of Tianzhang Zhenjun, Magnetic Pole has always been meticulous in its calculations, scrutinizing every penny, whether it's salaries, company profits, or laboratory funding.
But Zhang Yu, in the eyes of True Monarch Tianzhang, had taken another step forward.
"Do they really expect a college graduate to survive?"
How much does a college student or a junior college graduate cost? In Tianzhang Zhenjun's view, being caught in the crossfire during the battle, especially with the disappearance of the righteous gods, was a loss he could accept.
But the meaning Zhang Yu was conveying at this moment was that he wanted to survive? He wouldn't accept even the slightest loss?
"To protect your assets to this extent... you truly deserve to be rich, Zhu Yi."
In Tianzhang Zhenjun's view, Zhang Yu was protecting so many low-level cultivators for the sake of spirit coins, otherwise what else could it be for?
After all, these low-level cultivators all use the Taixu Cloud Treasury or have taken out loans, making them valuable customer resources.
Magnetism God, who also observed the battle, sighed inwardly: "This kid is really... becoming more and more like me and Aoki. He's unwilling to suffer losses even with a junior college student, and doesn't he want to die even with his own people?"
...
Just as Zhang Yu was engaged in fierce combat with Taihao Zhenjun and others.
Deep within the Dark Spirit Realm, the God of Reporting frowned as he looked at the Book of Evil Gods in his hand and asked, "God of Fortune, why has there been no response yet?"
"Could it be that she is currently in a state where she cannot respond?"
"What kind of situation would cause an evil god to be in a state of being unable to respond?"
Looking at the contents of the Book of Evil Gods, the God of Report thought to himself, "It is strange that the God of Fortune has gone to the battlefield. After all, for an evil god, hiding his true form as much as possible and keeping it in a safe place is the norm."
"But there is one situation that would force an evil god to personally go to a dangerous place."
"That's when you're coerced, threatened, and forced to be led around by others."
Seeing that the God of Fortune still did not respond, the God of Reporting thought to himself, "Are you... in this situation, God of Fortune?"
"If so, then who is the person currently fighting on the battlefield who is involved?"
In an instant, countless scenes from the battlefield appeared before the God of Reporting through the Dark Spirit Realm.
At this moment, the God of Reports sifted through all the information on those fighting on the battlefield.
...
At the same time, Taihao Zhenjun shouted in the battle group: "Don't hide anymore, I have stopped the 'Mysterious Scripture of Transferring Ancestors', so don't worry about being forced to kneel down by me."
"Keep attacking him; his magic power will run out sooner or later!"
While calling upon True Lord Liu Jin and the others to launch another attack, True Lord Tai Hao began to struggle.
Taihao Zhenjun roared, "Zhang Yu, do you think you can suppress me forever? Keeping me here is just accelerating the depletion of your magic power. This will be your biggest mistake in this battle!"
As he spoke, True Lord Taihao roared, his internal magical power surged, and a surge of power suddenly erupted from his legs and knees.
The various cultivation techniques he had painstakingly practiced for many years were activated violently, unleashing the accumulated strength and power that True Lord Taihao had cultivated day and night in his kneeling practice.
Soaring Scripture! Eight Desolations Mountain-Bearing Technique! Thunderous Crouch! Mountain and River Rising Technique!
Each exercise is an extreme test of lower limb strength, and each exercise is an ultimate boost to squatting and standing up.
At this moment, amidst the violent tremors of his body, Taihao Zhenjun's body was continuously pressed against the surrounding spatial barrier under the explosive force of this earth-shattering explosion.
His struggle did indeed cause Zhang Yu to expend more magical power to maintain the spatial barrier.
If Zhang Yu hadn't changed into the complete set of 333 pieces of the Platinum Emperor's magic body before the battle, and hadn't also equipped himself with the level 40 Collapse God of War Armor, increasing his maximum mana to over 80,000, he probably would have had very little mana left by now.
It was precisely because of his powerful magic power, coupled with the enhancement of his physical strength by his magic body and armor, that Zhang Yu was able to suppress Taihao Zhenjun with one hand and use Kunlun in his palm to block the siege of many Nascent Soul Zhenjuns with the other.
As the attacks from Liu Jin Zhenjun and the others were turned and deflected by Zhang Yu, they collided and even attacked and influenced each other in the distorted space.
Seeing this scene, Taihao Zhenjun could feel more and more that compared to the Zhang Yu he had encountered last time, Zhang Yu was now richer and more powerful.
"Before his magic power is exhausted, unless the number of people exceeds his capacity to handle it, the more people attack him, the stronger he becomes."
Realizing this, True Monarch Taihao snorted coldly. He glanced at the numerous low-level cultivators who were scattering and retreating, and immediately commanded in the battle group: "Leave Zhang Yu to me. I will deplete his mana."
"Scatter and go after those poor wretches."
"Killing them all is our real mission this time!"
"Kill them first, and then come back to surround and kill Zhang Yu after I've exhausted his magic power!"
Following a series of commands from True Lord Taihao, True Lord Liujin and the others moved slightly, completing their exchange. Each of them left behind a series of afterimages, scattering in all directions like a rain of flowers.
But in the next moment, accompanied by a change in light and shadow, Liu Jin Zhenjun and the others were surprised to find that they had been pulled back to their original spatial positions.
At the same time, Zhang Yu's voice rang out calmly: "Did I give you permission to leave?"
Just then, Tianzhang Zhenjun and more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ten Schools, who had just temporarily avoided the limelight, also arrived, wanting to participate in the next battle.
After all, Taihao Zhenjun has now been suppressed by Zhang Yu alone. With this biggest threat gone, Tianzhang Zhenjun felt it was time for him to show his divine power and work with Zhuyi Zhenjun to defeat the remaining Liujin Zhenjun and the others.
But just as Tianzhang Zhenjun and the others were shooting towards the battlefield, they suddenly saw a word appear before their eyes.
Zhang Yu: Retreat!
Tianzhang Zhenjun was slightly taken aback, but the next moment he realized that this was Zhang Yu's text projection.
But what does this mean? Why should we back down? We were clearly going to support you.
Is there some kind of danger?
But what kind of danger would make us retreat from this far away?
Just as True Monarch Tianzhang was pondering rapidly, a powerful energy fluctuation that he also found awe-inspiring appeared in front of him.
Tianzhang Zhenjun suddenly raised his head, his eyes widening, only to see a destructive force erupting from Zhang Yu's hand.
