However, the result was that Taiyi Zhenren suffered a loss. Originally, the merits of the Six Emperors were distributed in advance, which made his cultivation level higher than that of other members of the Chan Sect. However, he used the good things too early, and his Dao heart was not settled. In addition, due to the entanglement of karma, he still participated in the Investiture of the Gods. Originally, as one of the Six Emperors, he could have completely avoided participating in the Investiture of the Gods. However, he did not expect that the battle of the Yellow River Formation was ultimately due to karma, and his cultivation level was reduced.
Now that he has reached the level of a Taiyi True Immortal, how could he possibly be a match for a great witch like Wang Jian?
At this moment, Wang Jian harbored resentment towards the Heavenly Court, and naturally showed no mercy in attacking Taiyi Zhenren. Although it was not advisable to directly reveal his Great Shaman form in the Qin army's battle formation, his power was still extraordinary. The fierce aura emanating from his greatsword was extremely sharp. Unlike Bai Qi, whose attacks were purely for killing due to his cultivation of the Way of Slaughter, Wang Jian's attacks, while seemingly full of murderous intent, were different from Bai Qi's Way of Slaughter. Instead, they were purely the work of a Great Shaman. Bai Qi was a Great Shaman on one hand, and on the other hand, he was also cultivating his primordial spirit, making him seem like a Taoist cultivator. Wang Jian, however, was a very pure Great Shaman, and the murderous aura he carried was purely cultivated unconsciously over many years of commanding troops.
Fortunately, Taiyi Zhenren held the title of one of the Six Emperors of Heaven and used his position to refine many magical treasures. Although his skills were far inferior to those of Yun Zhongzi, Wang Jian was not Confucius, so they were about the same. Taiyi Zhenren simply used the magical treasures in his hands just like Yun Zhongzi, throwing them out as bombs. Although they could not hurt Wang Jian, they could block him.
Wang Jian, being able to become a general, was certainly not stupid. He had already seen through Taiyi Zhenren and the others' plan when they were talking. They intended to use the second-generation disciples of the Ren and Chan sects to hold back the people of Penglai Island, while Taiyi Zhenren and the others would use the heavenly soldiers' cultivation, which far surpassed that of the Qin army, to launch a surprise attack on the Qin army. In that case, the Confucian, Mohist, and Legalist schools would win, but in reality, they would lose. At that time, the Qin state would be too badly damaged, and even if the country's fortune was good, it would still lose.
Seeing that Taiyi Zhenren was using such a shameless fighting style to entangle him, Wang Jian would not stand for it. Seeing that the Qin army's casualties were getting heavier and heavier, Wang Jian became ruthless. Regardless of whether the changes in the Great Witch Zhenren's back would affect the Qin army, since the Qin army would die anyway, he let out a fierce roar, his body suddenly grew, his height increased by hundreds of meters, his muscles bulged, his hair was disheveled, and his armor had already been blown off, making him look like a madman.
With a cold snort, the temperature on the battlefield plummeted. The celestial soldiers felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, a chill rising in their hearts, and dared not move an inch. The Qin army, however, was unaffected. Seeing the celestial soldiers who had just been slaughtering them now stunned, they swarmed forward like beating a drowning dog. Although these celestial soldiers were generally more powerful than the Qin soldiers, and their armor was at least tempered, they were simply outnumbered. A force more than ten times that of the celestial soldiers surged forward, each with a sword. No matter how skilled these celestial soldiers were, they were only at the level of the mortal realm. Although they were called celestial soldiers, they had not yet entered the path of immortality. After a dozen or so blows, they were either dead or crippled.
The sudden turn of events caught Taiyi Zhenren, who was fighting against Wang Jian, off guard. In an instant, thousands of heavenly soldiers perished. Taiyi Zhenren felt a great blow to his spirit. He was a man who had seen the world, and he knew that Wang Jian had only used the powerful aura of the Great Witch to temporarily intimidate the heavenly soldiers. The Great Witch was warlike and had the fiercest aura. In ancient times, the Witch Clan fought against heaven and earth. Even the Demon Clan could only rely on sheer numbers to be able to match them. If it weren't for Di Jun and Taiyi holding the line, the Witch Clan would probably have already wiped out the Demon Clan.
Knowing this is one thing, but Master Taiyi is helpless. Not to mention that his cultivation is not enough to contend with Wang Jian, even if he had the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it would still be no use. Apart from some injuries he suffered in the Yellow River Formation in recent years, Master Taiyi has not suffered any setbacks. His life has been too comfortable, and he has not fought much. Naturally, his aura is not as good as that of a great witch like Wang Jian. In comparison, it is naturally useless.
Intimidated by the imposing aura of the Great Witch Wang Jian, the Qin army launched a counterattack, and casualties gradually increased. At this moment, a loud shout came, and the heavenly soldiers were jolted awake as if from a dream. However, when they looked up, they saw more than a dozen swords and spears, and they were truly in a state of chaos.
The voice was indeed that of the Antarctic Immortal. His previous task was simply to stop Li Si and Wei Liao, preventing them from launching an attack. Originally, according to Taiyi Zhenren's idea, the Antarctic Immortal should have faced off against Wang Jian, as their cultivation levels were comparable. However, Wang Jian took advantage of this and approached Taiyi Zhenren first, while the Antarctic Immortal was stopped by Li Si and the others. The Antarctic Immortal was originally supposed to be a disciple of Laozi. Although he was extremely close to the Chan Sect and everyone would think he belonged to the Chan Sect, he greatly admired Laozi's philosophy of non-action. When he saw Li Si and the others blocking his way, he didn't care about such things and only focused on holding them up without killing them. Otherwise, with Li Si and the others' mediocre cultivation, they would have been reduced to ashes countless times over.
Unexpectedly, Taiyi Zhenren was no match for Wang Jian, as the difference in their strength was too great. One mistake caused significant damage. Antarctic Immortal also realized the situation, but it was too late. He immediately switched roles with Taiyi Zhenren and went to find Wang Jian. The two were at the same level in terms of cultivation, so it was a fierce battle.
The previously frustrated Taiyi Zhenren was replaced by Li Si and his companions. Naturally, he no longer held back. Having suffered a setback at Wang Jian's hands, he now disregarded his reputation and attacked juniors like Li Si. Moreover, he was ruthless in his attack, using a different magic weapon—the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover—which he immediately used to envelop Li Si and his group. Li Si was terrified upon seeing this. Although he had not participated in the Investiture of the Gods, only a few hundred years had passed since then, and many myths had been passed down. Although they had never seen this magic weapon that had shone brightly in the Investiture of the Gods, they knew a little about it and dared not let it cover them, otherwise their lives would be in danger.
