The celestial maiden in feathered robes sat firmly on Mount Tai, unafraid that Cao Ya would refuse the invitation!
As for the Arhat Kongwen, although he is of a higher generation, at this time he will definitely follow in the footsteps of the Arhat Buhuai, advancing and retreating together.
"Unbreakable Arhats, if winter comes, I will return by boat to fetch you..." the celestial maiden in feathered robes said calmly, clapping her hands as she prepared to propel the ship deeper into the void, leaving the real world to return to Golden Turtle Island, when suddenly—
"You should withdraw your invitation. I am focused on my cultivation, hoping to attain legendary status. I have no interest in any banquet."
Cao Ya spoke softly, flicking his finger. A stream of light flew out, and thoughts flashed, carrying the same sense of the birth and death of the world.
Splash~~
A small world appeared out of thin air, encompassing the two leaves, and then exploded, causing the void to collapse and annihilate at the same time.
"Hmm? You're going to refuse?" The celestial maiden in feathered robes stopped what she was doing, her brows furrowing. The void seemed to freeze, and a vast, ocean-like pressure permeated the heavens and the earth, making countless living beings feel oppressed, as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs.
However, there was no fear on their faces; on the contrary, countless faces were filled with excitement and exhilaration!
Is the only celestial being in the world about to engage in a great battle with the celestial messenger from Jin'ao Island?
Good heavens! A battle of this level has only existed in the Middle Ages for tens of thousands of years in the real world. After the Middle Ages and before the Undying Arhats, there has not been a single Celestial Immortal. How could there be a duel between Celestial Immortals?
Before the Middle Ages, gods, immortals, demons, and monsters roamed freely; it was a completely different era!
On the ship, the celestial maiden in feathered robes squinted her eyes, seemingly displeased.
She gazed at the Shaolin Temple, as if she could see Cao Ya inside the Zen monastery.
"Imperial Arhat, are you sure you want to refuse? Refuse the warm invitation from Golden Turtle Island?" The celestial maiden in feathered robes spoke in a chilling tone, the coldness of which could be heard even by a deaf person.
Countless living beings shuddered.
However, the sudden drop in temperature did not dampen their anticipation at all; in fact, it made them even more excited!
The more powerful the fighters, the more exciting the battle is to watch!
"I said I'm not interested," Cao Ya said indifferently, tilting his head slightly to confront the celestial woman in feathered robes.
She was just an ordinary female celestial being. If it weren't for the Golden Turtle Island behind her and the Great Sage of Meishan, he would have slapped her down long ago.
My strength... well, the legends are too powerful, I can't compare. But among those at the Celestial Immortal realm, those who can rival me are mainly at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm, the Celestial Immortal realm at its perfection... at the very least, they must be beings like the ancient saints...
This female celestial being is not weak, but within the realm of celestial beings, she is definitely not considered particularly powerful...
Hey, that's true. Who would willingly serve as an envoy for such a powerful celestial being...?
Unless Yuan Hong, the "Great Sage of Meishan," is fully awakened...
Cao Ya thought to himself, still quite confident in refusing the celestial beauty's invitation.
He wasn't afraid that Yuan Hong would suddenly appear, barge into the real world, and slap him to death.
The Realm is too important, and countless powerful beings are paying attention to it. Before Meng Qi achieved legendary status, which shook all the heavens and myriad worlds and completely awakened many slumbering great figures, the Realm basically did not allow the first returning great figures to forcibly enter this core of myriad worlds.
You will become the target of everyone's criticism!
Even those on the other side would not put themselves in such a disadvantageous situation.
Those on the other side are not without rivals!
The number of those who have died on the other side throughout history is too many to count on one hand!
So, although he admitted that he couldn't defeat "Great Sage of Meishan" Yuan Hong and was worried about dying from the aftershocks of a clash between powerful beings, he refused to go to Jin'ao Island and simply stayed in the real world, leaving Yuan Hong with no way to deal with him.
Even the celestial beings of Jin'ao Island, like the person before him, are no match for Cao Ya.
Sending them over wouldn't make much difference.
Cao Ya was confident, but people were unaware of his strength and thought he was about the same as the Heavenly Fairy of Jin'ao Island.
In people's eyes, although the Undying Arhat has some legendary characteristics and is essentially superior, Jin'ao Island is an ancient holy land, and the female celestial beings who came from it must also be strong. Even if they are slightly inferior, it is very limited.
Moreover, that multi-story ship was clearly no ordinary vessel.
With the blessing of treasures, the chances of defeating the indestructible Arhat to a draw should be quite high.
Not only do people think this way, but even the celestial maiden in feathered robes herself believes so.
"The Undying Arhat, dominating the declining Realm, has given you too many illusions." The celestial maiden in feathered robes stood at the bow of the ship, her eyes cold and clear, looking down at Cao Ya.
"A battle beyond our borders!" she concluded succinctly, choosing the location for the battle.
The celestial maiden in feathered robes dared not engage in battle within the real world. Given the destructive power of celestial beings, if the two were to fight fiercely, the aftershocks of divine power would sweep across the land, permeating the Dao principles. It was likely that they would destroy vast areas, disrupt the plans of countless powerful figures, and unleash countless mysterious forces.
When the powerful figure revives, a single finger in his anger would be enough to kill her, even if she had nine lives!
Even the Great Sage of Meishan dared not protect her!
With this concern, it was natural to choose to fight in a vast, uninhabited area.
After all, times have changed, and it's no longer the ancient or medieval period!
The Dharma bodies of Human Immortals and Earth Immortals are not as powerful as those of Celestial Immortals, but they do not have the same concerns when fighting as Celestial Immortals.
The celestial maiden in feathered robes didn't think Cao Ya would refuse her proposal, after all, this was the Shaolin Temple.
However, to the surprise of the celestial maiden in feathered robes and all living beings, the indestructible Arhat's Mysterious Ring actually refused!
"No need," Cao Ya said calmly, then suddenly raised his hand and struck out with a palm.
Rumble...
In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, the world lost its color, and a unique sword light spread endlessly from the depths of the void.
The fifth move of the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying – [The Dao Spreads Throughout the Universe]!
The female celestial being gritted her teeth, feeling indignant. This wicked Arhat was truly looking down on people!
"You actually thought you could capture me instantly? Undying Arhat, you will pay the price for your arrogance!" The Feathered Celestial Maiden thought angrily, her hands forming hand seals, the aura of the Great Dao swirling around her, her divine laws vast, pouring out streams of light like the Milky Way.
Boom!!!
A massive collision erupted in this place, the void exploded, and a deep black hole appeared, seemingly devouring everything in the world.
However, once again, to everyone's surprise, the sword light of the Undying Arhat easily pierced through the protection of the Feathered Fairy, seriously injuring her. Several sword marks appeared, and blood gushed out. The essence, energy, and spirit contained within were quickly extinguished by the extended sword light.
"Cough cough." The celestial maiden in feathered robes swayed as if she were about to fall.
Her breath caught in her throat as she stared at Cao Ya in horror.
Not only her, but even the countless warriors on the ground gaped, almost unable to believe what they were seeing.
Good heavens, what did they see?
The Unbreakable Arhat's Ring actually killed the Celestial Messenger from Golden Turtle Island in a single move?!
How come the Undying Arhat is so powerful, even though they are both Celestial Immortals at the Great Realm of Dharma Body?!
"Is Master Xuanjie really that terrifying?"
Meanwhile, in another region, Meng Qi, who was distracted by creating a false "other self" while also paying attention to the Shaolin Temple through the mystical "cause and effect," was also greatly startled.
