Chapter 699 Sword Embryo Upgrade, Godfather (Three+ chapters, 9500+ words, requesting monthly votes)
"Shouldn't we be the ones running away?"
Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, True Monarch Liujin thought to himself, "This is truly... a low-level form of sarcasm."
All that could be heard was a cold laugh from True Monarch Liu Jin: "Zhang Yu, hearing your childish provocation makes me feel relieved."
"Because at this moment, I realized that you not only lack strength, but also your actual combat skills."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu smiled inwardly: "Very good. With this kind of attitude, you shouldn't be able to run away easily before my reinforcements arrive in full force."
As he spoke, True Monarch Liujin released his nascent soul, which was an old man who looked like he had a big belly.
"A battle between Nascent Soul cultivators is a battle between Nascent Soul cultivators."
True Monarch Liu Jin understood that the techniques empowered by Nascent Soul cultivators were often the very things that Nascent Soul cultivators were best at.
It was the cultivation method I chose after breaking through to the Golden Core stage, starting from the creation of the Extraordinary Meridians.
It is the power that Nascent Soul cultivators have cultivated, honed, and experienced countless times over the years, day after day, year after year. It is also the strongest power in battle after being strengthened through numerous trials.
All other magical artifacts, magical treasures, and cultivation techniques often use this as a core element for support.
When True Monarch Liu Jin released his Nascent Soul at the first moment, it meant that he was ready to use his full strength.
His bloated nascent soul cried out and began to circulate the military-grade technique of the Netherworld University's Finance Department—the Burning Dao Loan Life Scripture.
It was as if an invisible flame was burning from the Nascent Soul of True Monarch Liujin.
For True Monarch Liujin, who has been in the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages for many years, this military-grade cultivation technique is the one he has been practicing since his Foundation Establishment period in college, and has relied on for his livelihood ever since... his strongest and most familiar cultivation technique.
True Monarch Liu Jin still remembers how excited he was on the first day he obtained this technique, and how much he looked forward to the future.
Back then, not every finance student was wealthy.
At that time, True Lord Liujin was not a rich man either. He could only rely on loans and selling everything he owned to study and cultivate.
The "Burning Dao and Loaning Life Scripture" was the most suitable military-grade martial arts technique for him at that time.
Magic power, quality of magic power, physical strength, Dao heart... all the results of hard work can be used to advance this cultivation technique.
By burning all of his cultivation, he could gain a more powerful burst of energy in a short period of time.
The Golden Immortal of that time relied on this technique, practicing diligently time and time again, burning himself out time and time again, and then re-practicing and burning himself out again and again...
Throughout the early to late stages of Foundation Establishment, he underwent nearly seven retraining sessions. With the explosive power gained from each burning session, he won four competition championships, which allowed him to successfully secure a place in the graduate program and become a master's student in finance at Netherworld University.
At that time, True Monarch Liujin told himself that he would not start cultivating again, he would not work anymore, he would become the richest person...
At this moment, as invisible flames raged fiercely on the Nascent Soul of True Monarch Liujin, his various stats also declined rapidly.
His magical power gradually declined from its peak of 100,000 to 90,000, 80,000, 75,000...
His physical strength has plummeted from its peak of level 40 to around level 39 or 38...
Even his Dao Heart level dropped directly from level 40 to level 39.
As his cultivation level declined, his nascent soul underwent a dramatic transformation in an instant, changing from a portly old man into a robust middle-aged man.
Just then, shouts came from all around.
Clearly, with the signal of the entire building interrupted, cultivators who were using the study room kept coming out to check the situation. Some people noticed the situation here, but they could not see the burning nascent soul of True Monarch Liujin.
A security guard noticed the unusual situation and said, "Sir, could you please help me..."
"roll……"
The Golden True Monarch uttered a single word, and with a flick of his fingertip, which had transformed into the form of a middle-aged man, several security guards exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
The surrounding cultivators all looked terrified at the scene and immediately retreated into their study rooms, slamming the doors shut.
Looking at the security guards he had casually crushed, Liu Jin Zhenjun was reminded of his past self, the one who struggled in the finance department and was called a beggar who had to repeat a year and a desperate waste of time.
At the same time, dazzling rays of light were released, and the Heavenly Sun God burst out from Zhang Yu's Void Cloud Treasury, carrying blazing golden flames and rolling heat waves, rushing towards the Golden True Lord.
Having reached level 31, the Heavenly Sun God possesses the power to burn mountains and boil seas, enough to create skyscrapers on its own. In fact, if Zhang Yu so desires, he could use the Heavenly Sun God to destroy the entire self-cultivation building and rebuild it.
But facing the imposing Heavenly Sun God, True Monarch Liujin merely had a thought and urged his Nascent Soul to meet him head-on.
boom!
The nascent souls of the Heavenly Sun God and the Golden True Monarch clashed head-on.
The intense flames completely enveloped the nascent soul.
Even though Zhang Yu intended to control it, the surrounding ground and ceiling still gradually melted under the scattered firelight.
But even under this extreme burning, the Nascent Soul of True Monarch Liujin roared and broke through the flames, shattering the flames one punch after another.
The flames pressed down on the nascent soul time and time again, only to be shattered by a few punches and kicks each time.
In the next instant, the Nascent Soul had already grabbed the head of the Heavenly Sun God.
The Golden True Lord thought to himself, "In this world, it's either others exploiting me, or I exploiting others."
His gaze swept over the blood mist on the security guard, past the roaring Heavenly Sun God, and finally settled on Zhang Yu.
"Today I infiltrated behind enemy lines to fight to the death, so that I will never have to fight to the death again... I don't want to be exploited anymore, I want to exploit everyone!"
With a furious roar from True Monarch Liujin, the "Burning Dao and Loaning Life Scripture" had been activated to its limit. Under the intense burning of his cultivation, his nascent soul transformed from a middle-aged form into a youthful form.
With a loud bang, the Heavenly Sun God in the Nascent Soul's hand was torn apart, turning into a ball of sparks that scattered into the atmosphere.
"Vulnerable."
"Zhang Yu, let me take you down."
The Golden Immortal reached out and grabbed Zhang Yu, looking at him with excitement, anticipation, and joy. He roared in his heart, "As long as I achieve this great feat! The resurrection debt will be paid! The back wages will be paid! The maintenance fee for the artifact spirit will be paid! Everything can be turned around!"
Whoosh! With the infusion of the Golden True Monarch's will, the young Nascent Soul also roared and charged towards Zhang Yu.
In a flash, the Nascent Soul appeared in front of Zhang Yu and reached out to grab him.
Faced with this scene, Zhang Yu's expression was icy. He reached out and grasped the Taihao Sacred Law Flying Sword that was shooting towards him, and slashed at the Nascent Soul with the sword.
Bang!
The flying sword, a full level 31, was shattered by the Nascent Soul. Under the full power of the Golden True Monarch burning his cultivation, it was so vulnerable.
But Zhang Yu did not stop. With his other hand, he grabbed another Taihao Sacred Law flying sword that was shooting towards him and slashed out with it.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
Amidst a series of explosions, Zhang Yu slashed at the Nascent Soul with one flying sword after another that was shot at him.
And every collision resulted in swords shattering and people being wounded.
With each collision, Zhang Yu, who absorbed the impact of the opponent through the flying sword, suffered internal injuries, with his entire body bursting open with gaping wounds and splattering large amounts of blood mist.
After shattering 12 flying swords in one go, the Nascent Soul's palm was already pressed above Zhang Yu's head.
"it's over……"
Just as Liu Jin Zhenjun was thinking this, he saw Zhang Yu, covered in blood, throw a punch forward, and his fist collided fiercely with the Nascent Soul's palm.
Having adapted to the recent 12 consecutive attacks, Zhang Yu was confident that his Nascent Soul realm physical supernatural power, "Formless Free Body," was sufficient to withstand the opponent's full-force strike.
boom!
The ground beneath their feet shattered with a deafening roar, and a huge hole was instantly torn open in the entire floor, leaving it teetering on the verge of collapse.
Amid the violent tremors, many cultivators who had just been hiding in their rooms screamed. They tried to jump out of the windows to escape, but found that the entire building was sealed off. At this moment, they could only open the doors and run away.
Ignoring the chaotic crowd, True Monarch Liu Jin stared intently at Zhang Yu, who was floating in mid-air and whose injuries were slowly healing. He was incredibly surprised and thought, "This guy... actually took my Nascent Soul attack head-on?"
True Monarch Liujin knew that this was no ordinary attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator. Rather, it was an attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator that had been strengthened by burning its magical power, its Dao heart, and its physical strength under the operation of the "Burning Dao and Loaning Life Scripture."
"Did this guy really just break through to the Nascent Soul stage not long ago?"
"No wonder you're so confident... Zhang Yu, your confidence is indeed justified."
Liu Jin Zhenjun had to admit that Zhang Yu's performance was a huge surprise to him.
But at the same time, he felt fortunate: "If I had been the only one on this mission, you might have actually escaped."
"But thankfully... thankfully the auspicious god was cautious enough to invite the three of us, which allowed us to accept this great gift."
At the same time, Zhang Yu could see that the other two Nascent Soul cultivators had broken through the floors one above the other and were rapidly approaching him.
The entire building was like a toy in front of these two Nascent Soul cultivators; a single charge or impact could create holes in it.
If it weren't for the intention to avoid attracting outside attention and to deliberately control the damage to the structure, they probably would have blown the entire building to pieces the moment the war started.
At the same time, the voice of True Monarch Liujin reminded the two: "Be careful, this kid's physical supernatural abilities should be defensive and adaptive. Don't get entangled with him, try to defeat him in one blow."
Hearing the reminder from True Monarch Liujin, True Monarch Taihao thought to himself, "I never intended to use a second move anyway."
On the other side, Huanxie Zhenjun had already made his move first.
A flash of light appeared on his body, and a nascent soul emerged from it.
The nascent soul was depicted as a pair of beautiful conjoined twins, neither male nor female, connected back to back, constantly emitting bursts of laughter.
"Zhang Yu, look at me."
In Zhang Yu's eyes, the conjoined twin-like nascent soul had transformed into Bai Zhenzhen's image, radiating a breathtaking charm.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yu felt his magical power being rapidly depleted.
Zhang Yu frowned and tried to circulate his internal magic power to tighten it, but he found that he was like a punctured balloon, with his magic power constantly dissipating like air, almost unstoppable.
Huanxue Zhenjun chuckled and transmitted his voice to his two companions: "He has been poisoned by my Tongxin Jile Jing, and his magical power will soon dissipate."
"Of course, if you continue fighting him, his mana will be depleted even faster."
The military-grade martial art "Tongxin Jile Jing" from Hehuan University can transform one into the most admired and beloved image in the eyes of others, and stir their feelings, turning them into one's lover.
The lower one's spiritual realm and the lower one's moral compass, the more compassionate and righteous one becomes, and the less resistance one has to the "Sutra of Ultimate Bliss with One Heart".
Once someone becomes the lover of Huanxue Zhenjun, in the most serious cases, Huanxue Zhenjun can even transfer all injuries and debts onto the lover.
Even if they don't become lovers, or even just admire the image they see, they will still be drawn into the magic power of Huanyue Zhenjun, which will accelerate the consumption of their magic power.
Appreciation and aesthetics are products of one's own thinking, and they cannot be easily changed unless one brainwashes oneself or undergoes long-term self-correction.
Just like Zhang Yu at this moment, Bai Zhenzhen's appearance is good, beautiful, and something he admires.
This judgment had nothing to do with the current situation; it was purely an almost instinctive reaction to aesthetics in his heart. Ultimately, under the influence of Huanyue Zhenjun, it caused his magical power to continuously drain away.
"This guy..." Zhang Yu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Huanqie Zhenjun, thinking to himself, "Was it a lucky accident? Or did he accurately identify my current greatest weakness... insufficient magic power?"
Meanwhile, on the other side, True Lord Taihao watched all this and simply said, "Unnecessary."
In his view, both the Golden True Lord and the Joyful True Lord's repeated attacks were unnecessary and superfluous.
To capture Zhang Yu, he alone is enough; the others should focus on controlling the scene and protecting the building to avoid attracting reinforcements too early.
He, Taihao Zhenjun, is the one responsible for ensuring the military force can suppress any unexpected situations on site during this mission.
Wherever True Lord Taihao passed, figures running around were instantly blown to pieces.
Amidst the piercing screams of those around them, the users of the study room seemed to be shattered by invisible forces, turning into pools of blood mist that bloomed on the walls, the floor, and the ceiling.
What shattered them was none other than the nascent soul of True Lord Taihao.
The nascent soul resembled an infant, but its long umbilical cord was connected to a coffin.
Which move should be used to suppress Zhang Yu as quickly as possible? This was a question that True Lord Taihao had carefully considered during his preparations for the battle.
Taihao Zhenjun, who cultivated the "Wonderful Scripture of Shifting Ancestors and Changing Lineages," buried and worshipped too many cultivators, and also acquired the abilities of one cultivator after another.
Among these diverse abilities, he quickly selected the one best suited to the current situation.
Power! He needed the strongest and most powerful force to violently suppress and capture Zhang Yu.
The Netherworld Disintegration Technique! This technique involves releasing terrifying destructive power by self-destructing the body. In ancient times, it was a technique used for a final, desperate fight.
In modern society, especially after the University of the Underworld provided ample spare bodies, this technique became a standard skill for many wealthy people.
But Taihao Zhenjun is different. The Netherworld Disintegration Method he uses comes from the power of his ancestors. So it is not to disintegrate his own body, but to disintegrate the body of his ancestors.
"May our ancestors bless us to suppress our enemies today and may everything go smoothly."
In a tomb some distance away, a coffin suddenly exploded, the remains inside shattered into pieces, bursting forth with an incredibly dense bloody light that sent the entire tomb flying into the sky.
At the same time, Taihao Zhenjun's nascent soul surged, and a crimson power seemed to surge out from the coffin connected by the umbilical cord, directly injecting into the infant-like nascent soul's body.
The next moment, as the Nascent Soul reached out, its palm, glowing with scarlet light, expanded violently and swept towards Zhang Yu with overwhelming force.
This strike was a desperate attack, a desperate act of sacrificing everything after death, blessed by ancestors; it was a strike whose power was enough to dominate the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Under the attack of Taihao Zhenjun, a pressure as real as a physical force swept over, crushing every wisp of air in the scene.
Under the suppression of the violent power, every inch of matter in the entire space seemed to be frozen, and could only watch helplessly as the Nascent Soul's palm slowly descended.
At the same time, Liu Jin Zhenjun's nascent soul also struck out with a palm, having already burned from its middle-aged form into its youthful form, propelling the power of the "Burning Dao and Loaning Life Scripture" to complete a combined attack with Taihao Zhenjun from the left and right.
Seeing this, True Lord Taihao frowned, thinking to himself, "Unnecessary..."
Amidst the deafening explosions, Zhang Yu plummeted like a falling meteor, hurtling rapidly under the combined impact of the two forces.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Layer upon layer of the ground was smashed open and pierced through.
Zhang Yu was thus pushed down by Taihao Zhenjun and Liujin Zhenjun, shattering thirteen floors before crashing straight into the basement.
Seeing this, Bai Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and felt the sword energy within her body appear and disappear, constantly surging with the urge to rush downwards.
But remembering Zhang Yu's instructions, she remained rooted to the spot, keeping her eyes fixed on the underground space behind the large holes in the floors.
At the same time, Taihao Zhenjun and the other two had already caught up with Zhang Yu as he was being held down.
Taihao Zhenjun transmitted his voice to the two of them, saying, "When I make my move, you must not make a move."
Liu Jin Zhenjun frowned, about to speak, when Tai Hao Zhenjun said, "Liu Jin, haven't you noticed yet?"
Liu Jin was slightly taken aback, and just as he was wondering what the other party meant, he heard Taihao Zhenjun wave his hand, and a hurricane swept away the shockwave of the explosion.
Then, Zhang Yu, who had been driven underground, reappeared in front of the three of them.
Zhang Yu, who was hit by the combined attack of the two and had been piercing through the floorboards, crashed into the spatial barrier at the bottom of the building and finally stopped.
He was covered in blood, but his posture remained upright as he looked up at the sky towards the three people.
The Golden Immortal was shocked: "Even after being attacked by the two of us together, he still has the strength to fight again?"
Taihao Zhenjun said coldly, "This kid... besides having a terrifyingly strong physical body, is also very skilled at using someone else's strength against them. Just now, when we attacked together, he used your power to fight against me."
"If it weren't for that, I could have defeated him with that move just now."
"So from now on... I can handle it alone."
Facing the rapidly approaching Nascent Soul, Zhang Yu took a deep breath, feeling the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo growing wildly within his body, eager to get started.
"Is it finally finished? The Azure Lotus Sword Embryo..."
Just before Zhang Yu finished nourishing the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo with the last technique, it was upgraded from level 2 to level 3, entering a new round of transformation.
In Zhang Yu's perception, this transformation of the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo was very different from the past, simply because he could feel that his Feather Spirit Root and Bai Zhenzhen's True Spirit Root had actually gone in two different directions during this evolution.
"After being tempered by different environments and undergoing changes in growth and adaptation, did Ah Zhen and I ultimately go in completely different directions?"
After the transformation of their spiritual roots began, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen each switched back to their own spiritual roots and quietly experienced all the changes in the two spiritual roots.
The Feather Spirit Root, which was about to complete its transformation, seemed to have been stimulated during the fierce battle and finally accelerated its final transformation.
Under Zhang Yu's influence, the Yu Spirit Root, which was constantly being attacked, seemed to have completed some kind of overall body construction, continuously improving Zhang Yu's defense, physique, and the effects of various chain magic diagrams.
Zhang Yu could feel that, under the influence of the Feather Spirit Root, any attack that struck him would have a portion of its energy absorbed and used to repair his injuries.
At the same time, Taihao Zhenjun's second attack had already landed.
Amidst the deafening explosion, Zhang Yu stood motionless on the spatial barrier at the bottom of the building, firmly blocking the attack without flinching or dodging.
"This attack... was weaker than the previous one."
Zhang Yu was slightly delighted, and he felt that some of the power that was bombarding him was absorbed by his Yu Ling Root and transformed into strands of life force, which, together with the activation of his body, accelerated the recovery of his injuries.
Then came three more attacks in a row, but Zhang Yu felt that the opponent's destructive power was getting weaker and weaker, while his own injuries continued to heal faster, and the situation became easier.
Meanwhile, Taihao Zhenjun, who continued his attacks, grew increasingly surprised and astonished.
He felt that his attacks on Zhang Yu were becoming less and less effective, while the opponent seemed to be getting more and more energetic the more he was attacked.
Feeling the strange gazes from the Golden True Lord and Joyful True Lord around him, Taihao True Lord couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Huanxue Zhenjun: "Two full minutes have passed since we made our move, we must hurry."
The four fighters were all Nascent Soul Realm experts, and their every move was incredibly fast. This series of fierce battles looked dazzling, but it only lasted a short time.
Upon hearing his companion's reminder, True Lord Taihao realized that he could no longer delay.
"I never expected that I would need to use this move to deal with a junior who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage."
Taihao Zhenjun sighed, but stopped his attack without hesitation.
He summoned back his nascent soul, and then took out three incense sticks from his robes.
With a gentle breath, the three incense sticks spontaneously combusted, emitting a faint green glow.
Looking down at Zhang Yu, True Monarch Taihao slowly said, "Zhang Yu, in today's battle between us, you fought three against one, and your cultivation was astonishing and extraordinary, leaving everyone in awe. Taihao is willing to acknowledge you as his godfather and will offer incense to you day and night from now on..."
As Taihao Zhenjun spoke, he and the Nascent Soul knelt down before Zhang Yu. The entire movement was smooth and skillful, the result of thousands of repetitions, and a heartfelt piety and solemnity.
Even though the person kneeling and worshipping before him was just his opponent, Taihao Zhenjun showed no sign of awkwardness on his face.
For True Lord Taihao, the Scripture of Shifting Ancestors and Changing Lineages was an incomparably powerful, practical, and advanced technique.
The advanced ideas contained in this cultivation method are to shatter all past social relations and embark on the path to immortality in a more advanced way that is more adapted to the relations of production.
He recalled how, many years ago, when he was practicing this method, one person after another criticized it and its philosophical ideas.
“Many people say I’m wrong, that this method is wrong, but I know I’m right.”
“I admire the first person to establish marriage, family, and clan. Because in an era before the concept of marriage existed, he created a brand new social relationship, the most advanced social relationship at the time, and a new relationship that ultimately changed human history.”
"At the time, his new ideas were bound to be ridiculed by the ignorant people of his time."
"He's like me in the past, being criticized, suppressed, and insulted by those old fogies..."
"But new relationships and new ideas will eventually eliminate all outdated ideas..."
Faced with the decay of Kunxu and the depravity of the elders, Taihao Zhenjun believed that the "Wonderful Canon of Shifting Ancestors" and the ideology represented by its founder were undoubtedly more advanced and capable of creating a freer and better Kunxu.
"The future will be a society where people can freely switch their ancestors and change and evolve human relationships as needed."
He believed it would be a world with a faster growth rate, a Kunxu where all of humanity belonged to the same family, where all ancestral power and accumulated human resources passed down through generations were gathered together, and where all human and material resources were used in the most rational way.
Therefore, in order to suppress Zhang Yu in front of him more quickly, Taihao Zhenjun could worship Zhang Yu without hesitation.
Believing himself to have more advanced ideas, he would not have any mental burden regarding acknowledging Zhang Yu as his adoptive father.
According to normal procedures, the "Wonderful Scripture of Shifting Ancestors" requires the other party to be buried before worship can be performed; it is a practice that requires worshipping the dead.
However, if the worship is performed on a living person, Taihao will suffer a severe backlash unless the person fully agrees.
However, even in this backlash, the other party will still forcibly become the godfather of Taihao Zhenjun.
Taihao Zhenjun can borrow the other party's luck after the first bow, borrow part of the other party's cultivation after the second bow, and borrow part of the other party's lifespan after the third bow...
Furthermore, before the other party dies, True Lord Taihao will no longer be able to use the "Mysterious Scripture of Transferring Ancestors" technique, nor will he be able to borrow the power of any other ancestors. In addition, there will be various backlashes in his cultivation, hindering his continued progress.
However, in order to quickly suppress Zhang Yu in front of him, to penetrate the magnetic pole, to advance the battle, to maintain the momentum of the second to fifth levels, and also for his own future, Taihao Zhenjun was willing to bear these backlashes and acknowledge Zhang Yu as his godfather.
"Zhang Yu, become my godfather. Please use everything you have to help me achieve my goals and help the new Kunxu achieve its goals."
As Taihao Zhenjun's knees sank lower and lower, Zhang Yu felt alarm bells ringing in his mind, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his heart.
This sense of crisis came suddenly, but it was even more intense and alarming than Kuang Tianqing's attempt to force his way through cultivation back then.
Zhang Yu, who had been motionless just moments before, suddenly moved swiftly, dodging Taihao Zhenjun's kneeling and shooting off to the side.
"This guy..."
As he dodged, Zhang Yu reacted immediately.
Back when the Top Ten League was underway, Zhang Yu, as a participant, had already learned about the military-grade martial arts techniques of various schools.
He had naturally heard of the "Mysterious Scripture of Shifting Ancestors and Changing Lineages," but he had never encountered an opponent who practiced this technique.
Seeing Taihao Zhenjun kneel down, and feeling wave after wave of crisis in his heart, he immediately thought of this evil technique.
"This guy... is too vicious."
Just as Zhang Yu dodged, Taihao Zhenjun, whose knee was descending inch by inch, simultaneously changed direction, seemingly able to keep his aim firmly no matter where Zhang Yu fled.
True Lord Liu Jin and True Lord Huan Que both attacked simultaneously, hindering Zhang Yu's movements and reducing his space to dodge.
"No..." Zhang Yu immediately realized, "We can't escape like this."
Knowing that simply dodging would inevitably lead to failure, Zhang Yu gradually made up his mind.
"Since that's the case, then let me let you experience one more bit of... the power I've accumulated over the past year of arduous training."
Zhang Yu suddenly struck out with his palm, causing the entire battlefield space to distort.
Immortal Sect Technique: Kunlun in the Palm... Activated!
The simplest way to use the Kunlun in the palm of your hand is to enlarge the size of matter by expanding and shrinking space.
But Zhang Yu understood that this immortal martial art certainly had more than one way of being used.
By scaling up or down space unevenly and by enlarging some parts of the space and shrinking others, he was able to distort a large area of space.
If space was originally a piece of paper, then Zhang Yu created all sorts of incredible effects by twisting and squeezing that piece of paper.
For example, at this very moment, when Zhang Yu activated Kunlun in his palm, Liu Jin Zhenjun's body was like entering a funhouse mirror. Instantly, with the distorted space, he was turned into a noodle and directly pulled in front of Taihao Zhenjun.
Seeing Taihao Zhenjun kneeling before him, Liujin Zhenjun felt a chill run down his spine and immediately shouted, "Stop!"
Taihao Zhenjun was startled when he saw Liujin Zhenjun suddenly appear in front of him. Thinking of the debts the other party was carrying and the cultivation he had burned away, Taihao Zhenjun was also startled. His knees, which were originally kneeling, straightened immediately and he stood up.
Then the two of them looked at Zhang Yu at the same time and shouted, "Kunlun in the palm?"
Taihao Zhenjun stared intently at Zhang Yu, a look of surprise rising in his heart: "The Kunlun in the palm... it's not the novice Kunlun in the palm. To achieve this effect on space, it must have reached at least the Nascent Soul level Kunlun in the palm."
While pondering, Taihao Zhenjun suddenly slipped and knelt down before Zhang Yu once more.
At the same time, he telepathically told his two companions, "Attack with all your might from different directions!"
Huanqie Zhenjun moved swiftly, already circling behind Zhang Yu, and said, "He has just entered the Nascent Soul stage, so his magical power must not be profound. I have already lost a lot of it, so he certainly cannot operate the Palm Kunlun for long."
Zhang Yu snorted coldly, and Kunlun in his palm continued to activate, causing the direction and position of both sides to change once again.
In an instant, the three Nascent Soul experts launched a series of fierce attacks on Zhang Yu.
The Nascent Soul of True Monarch Liu Jin had somehow been burned into an infant state, and every punch and kick he made unleashed a surging power that could crush everything.
Huanxue Zhenjun's nascent soul let out a series of long laughs, transforming into the appearance of Bai Zhenzhen, and continuously causing Zhang Yu's magic power to drain away.
Taihao Zhenjun was the opponent Zhang Yu valued most and who posed the greatest threat to him. Every time he knelt down, it made Zhang Yu's heart pound with fear, and it also set off alarm bells for the other two Nascent Soul cultivators, who were afraid of being accidentally injured.
However, under the siege of the three Nascent Soul experts, Zhang Yu, who unleashed the Kunlun Palm technique, was like a towering peak between heaven and earth, and no matter how fierce the storm, it was difficult to destroy him.
Ordinary attacks were blocked by his physical strength and skillful use of leverage.
Taihao Zhenjun's kneeling was repeatedly dodged by him using the Kunlun in his palm.
Furthermore, due to the constant distortion and transformation of space, the attacks of the three Nascent Soul cultivators would occasionally interfere with each other and cause obstacles to one another.
“No…” Taihao Zhenjun quickly analyzed in his mind: “This guy… is too difficult to kill. It’s not something that can be done in a short time with ordinary methods to suppress him.”
"And if multiple people join forces, he will constantly use their strength against them and distort space... The more people there are, the more troublesome it becomes, as their powers interfere with each other. It's better to fight him alone."
"Either exhaust his magic power, rendering him powerless to resist, or..."
Taihao Zhenjun said loudly, "Liujin, go out and create a spatial barrier to compress his space."
"His Kunlun in his palm certainly can't shake the spatial barrier."
"Huanqie, go stand aside and keep watch. Don't make any moves rashly."
Although the three True Lords all cultivated the immortal Daoist technique "Three Realms and Ten Directions Great Void Barrier", due to limited time, their cultivation levels were not high, and they could only use it as an auxiliary technique, generally not directly in battle.
But at this moment, under the command of True Lord Taihao, True Lord Liujin immediately withdrew from the battle and began to use the "Three Realms and Ten Directions Great Void Barrier" to gradually set up a spatial barrier from the outside to the inside, compressing Zhang Yu's combat space little by little.
As the intensity of the battle between the two sides continued to escalate and their attacks became increasingly reckless, the entire building began to gradually collapse.
At the same time, more and more figures surrounded the spatial barrier, and more and more support forces were converging on this place.
Feeling all of this, True Monarch Taihao gritted his teeth. He never expected that a mission to capture a Golden Core cultivator would lead to an encounter with Zhang Yu, and he never expected that Zhang Yu could withstand the three of them attacking him until now.
Liu Jin Zhenjun said urgently, "This won't do. If we delay any longer, the entire building will be surrounded. We should retreat."
A hint of reluctance flashed in Taihao Zhenjun's eyes, and he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Should we continue fighting? Zhang Yu is almost completely sealed off; his magic power probably won't last much longer..."
"But what if we keep holding out and can't escape?"
After a slight hesitation, True Lord Taihao resolved to retire for life.
"Zhang Yu... I'll let you off this time, but next time..."
As they spoke, the three Nascent Soul cultivators of Taihao Zhenjun slowly passed through the spatial barrier on the ground, intending to use the underground spatial barrier to escape.
They can quickly pass through these spatial barriers, but the powerful individuals from the top ten universities who come to provide support from the outside do not have this ability.
But just then, Zhang Yu said, "Are you finally going to run away?"
Under the surprised gaze of Taihao Zhenjun, Zhang Yu took something out of Taixu Yunzang's pocket.
As the object grew larger, Zhang Yu said calmly, "I told you long ago, you're the ones who should be running, aren't you?"
"It's too late to run now."
The next moment, the eyes of the three Taihao True Monarchs widened as they watched the World-Breaking Cone in Zhang Yu's hand gradually enlarge.
Immediately following a crackling sound, Zhang Yu had already used the Boundary-Breaking Cone to create a large hole in the spatial barrier.
One... five... ten...
Waves of pressure emanating from the Nascent Soul stage surged wildly into the room, pressing down on the three True Monarch Taihao.
Taihao Zhenjun's heart sank suddenly. Recalling the previous battle, a sudden realization dawned on him: "This guy... already had a way to break the deadlock. He was deliberately stalling for time and fighting us to this point."
"Just to keep us here permanently."
