Chapter 728 The Heavenly Punishment Scheme (Three+ chapters, 9200+ words, please vote with monthly tickets)
Zhang Yu knew that what Taihao Zhenjun said was true.
At least until his magic power was exhausted and his opponents failed to crack his "Kunlun in the Palm," he was indeed stronger the more people he faced.
During the battle between Zhang Yu and 21 Nascent Soul experts, including Taihao Zhenjun, he continuously used "Kunlun in the Palm" to enlarge and shrink the surrounding space, distorting his opponents' attacks, causing them to collide and influence each other, or perhaps... secretly absorbed the space opened up by the descendants of immortals.
As his magical power was rapidly depleted, Zhang Yu received more and more attacks from the Immortal Descendant's space.
Ten moves... twenty moves... thirty moves...
As Zhang Yu's magical power dropped below ten thousand units, the space created by the immortal descendant had already absorbed over a hundred attacks from True Monarch Liujin, True Monarch Huanyue, and others.
A violent force surged and roared within, but the space created by the immortal descendant was like an indestructible cage, relentlessly suppressing these destructive forces, suppressing them again and again... suppressing them... suppressing them...
Until this moment, like a bomb detonating nuclear power, when Zhang Yu opened the spatial entrance of the Immortal Descendant and released its power...
The constantly compressed force, like a flood released from a dam, roared out in an instant, unleashing a devastating power.
The terrifying power instantly engulfed Zhang Yu's figure, which was almost within reach, and then expanded rapidly like a sun, swallowing up all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs around it.
"This is……"
In that instant, Tianzhang Zhenjun's eyes were fixed on what was in front of him, and he could see that all kinds of different forces, such as earth fire, wind and water, sword energy and thunder sound, thunder and fire evil, etc., which were not subordinate to each other, and even contradictory and mutually influential, were bursting out at this moment.
Warning: Deadly threat detected ahead. Evacuate immediately.
Warning: The signal from the spirit world is abnormally weakening. Please enable self-check.
Warning: High concentrations of malevolent energy pollution detected in the air.
Various danger warnings appeared on the screen in front of Tianzhang Zhenjun, constantly telling him about the dangers ahead.
At the same time, the magical bodies of True Lord Tianzhang were all activated, and with the swirling wind, he was forced to retreat rapidly backward.
Even before Tianzhang Zhenjun had truly entered the attack range, he had already felt such a threat. How did the Nascent Soul Zhenjuns, who were the first to bear the brunt, feel?
"Run!"
This was the last shout that Liu Jin Zhenjun heard in the battle group.
The next moment, he felt as if the pressure of hundreds of Nascent Soul True Monarchs suddenly erupted from Zhang Yu's body.
In that instant, he felt as if more than a hundred Nascent Soul True Monarchs were attacking him simultaneously, unleashing a series of earth-shattering killing moves.
roar!
With a roar, True Monarch Liujin was like a wild beast struggling in its death throes, burning his cultivation to its limit, while his magic power, Dao heart, and physical strength were all plummeting.
The nascent soul, which had already transformed into the form of an infant, underwent further changes, as if it were about to revert to its form before the birth of an infant.
Even so, he could feel his body gradually crumbling, his meridians breaking inch by inch, and he could feel himself walking step by step toward death.
A roar still echoed in his heart, urging him to persevere.
"Keep going!"
Although he didn't know how Zhang Yu did it, True Monarch Liu Jin could sense that Zhang Yu had released all the moves they had just used in their attack in one go.
“Zhang Yu himself is also being attacked! He's even at the epicenter of the explosion, so he's taking the most damage! And according to our calculations, his magic power is almost exhausted. As long as we can hold on until he can't hold on any longer…”
But the next moment, to the astonishment of True Monarch Liujin, a figure appeared in the blazing light and grabbed his head.
Looking at Zhang Yu after he took off his armor, and noticing the slight damage to his body, True Monarch Liujin was filled with disbelief: "How is this possible?! Why did he only suffer such minor injuries?"
Zhang Yu wasn't surprised at all about his physical condition. With the enhancement of his physical body's divine power formed by the thirteen layers of Dao foundation, similar attacks in a short period of time would only increase Zhang Yu's adaptability and provide targeted defensive strengthening.
During the battle just now, Zhang Yu had been intentionally controlling the pace of the fight, occasionally using his own body to withstand the opponent's minor attacks in order to build up targeted defenses.
"While absorbing the opponent's attacks, it simultaneously builds up defensive capabilities to counter those attacks..."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "In this way, when I release the power within the Immortal Descendant Space in one go, my resistance to these powers is already extremely high, and the damage I suffer is naturally suppressed to the minimum."
In addition, the effect of the Level 3 Azure Lotus Sword Embryo allows Zhang Yu to continuously absorb energy from the attacks to repair the damage to his body, further increasing his safety.
The level 3 Deep Frost Meridian is the final safeguard, directly freezing Zhang Yu's severely injured areas and then accelerating the repair process.
Ordinary injuries are repaired by the body activation techniques of the Residual Cattle Shelter.
Of course, if he hadn't been worried about damaging the Heaven-Shattering War God Armor and had taken it off, Zhang Yu believed his defense would have been even stronger, and he would have been more composed during the explosion.
Thinking about this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Absorbing attacks, transferring attacks, reflecting attacks, stacking defense, recovering health when hit, plus self-healing and self-treatment... To be honest, I don't even want to fight myself."
At this moment, when Liu Jin Zhenjun looked at Zhang Yu, he felt that there seemed to be a trace of pity in the other's eyes.
In the next instant, intense cold air surged from Zhang Yu's palm and was directly poured into the body of True Monarch Liujin, gradually freezing his body.
Of course, Zhang Yu only used his Deep Cold Technique to freeze the opponent's body; he did not heal True Monarch Flowing Gold. At the same time, Zhang Yu's gaze swept over the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs who had been blown up on the spot, and he thought to himself, "Consider it a lucky escape."
Zhang Yu understood that for the Righteous Alliance, which possessed resurrection capabilities, dying on the battlefield offered a chance of resurrection, while being captured meant there was absolutely no chance of turning the tide.
After casually suppressing the Golden True Monarch, Zhang Yu then shot towards another seriously injured Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Taihao Zhenjun watched as Zhang Yu suppressed four seriously injured Nascent Soul Zhenjuns in succession, watched the remaining dozen or so injured Nascent Soul Zhenjuns scatter and flee, and watched as Tianzhang Zhenjun and others surrounded them from the outside.
Taihao Zhenjun knew that in this battle... he had lost again.
Taihao Zhenjun's mind was constantly reviewing the events leading up to and following this battle.
"To deal with Zhang Yu, a siege is definitely the worst option."
“From the beginning, we shouldn’t have surrounded and killed him. He doesn’t have much destructive power. We should have just ignored him. I’ll hold him off while the others go and kill those poor bastards down there.”
"Even if he pulls us back with 'Kunlun in the Palm,' we should keep charging out and let him waste his magic power for nothing..."
The more Taihao Zhenjun reviewed the battle, the more he regretted it. He felt that the strategy for this battle was wrong from the beginning, which led to the increasingly passive and disadvantageous situation.
"If I had another chance, I would definitely..."
The moment the thought crossed his mind, Taihao Zhenjun sensed his current state and knew that everything was beyond redemption.
During Zhang Yu's attack, Taihao Zhenjun, who was positioned on Zhang Yu's other hand, also suffered severe injuries. If it weren't for Zhang Yu's deliberate control, he would probably have been completely killed in the attack.
But for True Lord Taihao, dying directly in battle was actually a good thing.
Unlike now, after being severely injured, his entire body was completely frozen by wisps of cold air, and he could do nothing but think.
With a soft thud, Taihao Zhenjun, who was still kneeling, fell to the ground.
Chang Buxiu and several college students who were evacuating stared in astonishment at the Taihao True Lord falling before them.
The next moment, Zhang Yu's words were projected in front of them.
Zhang Yu: Please help me transport it back downstairs on your way. Someone will pick him up later.
Zhang Yu: [1 Spirit Coin]
"True Lord Zhuyi has transferred money to me!"
Upon receiving the transfer from Zhang Yu, Chang Buxiu and the others immediately became excited and quickly surrounded the Taihao Zhenjun who was kneeling on the ground.
As he watched the college students standing in front of him, some even taking photos and videos of him kneeling, a sense of sorrow flashed through Taihao Zhenjun's heart.
"I never imagined that I, Taihao, would kneel before Golden Core cultivators, Nascent Soul cultivators, Deity Transformation cultivators, the principal, and disciples of immortals—all the chosen ones and outstanding talents of the immortal path—that one day I would kneel before these scum of the immortals."
...
On the other side, after Tianzhang Zhenjun and others suppressed several more Nascent Soul Zhenjuns, the remaining enemies had completely withdrawn.
Tianzhang Zhenjun approached Zhang Yu with a respectful expression and asked, "Zhenjun, what should be done with these people?"
At this moment, in the eyes of True Monarch Tianzhang, Zhang Yu was no longer the poor, powerless, and weak civil engineering student he once was, but a super-rich man who was richer, more powerful, and more capable than him.
Zhang Yu casually said, "Just lock him up according to the standard procedure. You guys go ahead with your work and don't worry about me."
Having said that, Zhang Yu activated his Taixu Cloud Treasury, releasing the Collapsing Heaven War God Armor once again.
A flash of black light appeared, and a suit of armor materialized in front of Zhang Yu, enveloping his body and transforming him into a small giant.
This suit of armor serves as a personal combat platform, not only seamlessly connecting with Zhang Yu's body and magical remains, but also allowing for changes to the external armor at any time, such as exposing Zhang Yu's palms to facilitate the use of the power of the immortal descendants.
At the same time, the bead that Fukihime had transformed into pulsed more and more violently, urging her on, "I can't suppress the call of this evil god's book any longer, I must respond quickly."
"Quickly find a secluded place, so no one can discover our connection with the Dark Spirit Realm..."
Once he had donned his armor again, Zhang Yu moved swiftly and, in high-speed flight, arrived at a secluded corner.
...
In the Dark Realm, the God of Retribution finally received a response from the God of Fortune.
God of Fortune: What is it?
Reporting God: God of Fortune, why haven't you responded?
God of Fortune: I'm busy. I'm not on standby waiting for your orders all day.
God of News: So where are you now?
Fortune God: Asking such a private question directly? Are you being polite?
God of Fortune: Speak, what do you want from me?
Seeing the God of Fortune's reply, the God of Reporting was not surprised. After all, it was normal for evil gods not to easily reveal their real location.
Report to the God: The Ten Schools are searching for the array nodes on the outer edge of the grand formation. These nodes are crucial to the formation's operation. Please have your followers assist in the defense as much as possible.
At the same time, the information before the God of Reports changed again.
"From the moment the Goddess of Fortune replied, it means... she was still unable to reply a moment ago, but no longer needed to worry about being exposed..."
Based on this point in time, the God of Reports selected all personnel on the battlefield who had ended their battles around this time.
One by one, portraits appeared, including those of True Lord Tianzhang, True Lord Taihao, and Zhang Yu.
...
On the other side, Fuki and Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief after ending their call with the God of News.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This Evil God's Book is too troublesome. If I continue to call it on the battlefield in the future, I can't just let Fu Ji communicate with the Dark Spirit Realm and talk to the God of Reporting in public... It's too easy to be discovered."
Thinking about this, a thought began to emerge in Zhang Yu's mind: "Perhaps... I should hand Fu Ji over to A Zhen or Yu Xing Han next."
In Zhang Yu's view, Fu Ji had three followers: himself, Bai Zhenzhen, and Yu Xinghan. Apart from himself, Bai Zhenzhen was the one with the strongest self-protection ability.
With this in mind, Zhang Yu made a decision: to hand Fu Ji over to Yu Xinghan, and then have Yu Xinghan hand Fu Ji over to Bai Zhenzhen for temporary care.
Fu Ji naturally had no objections to this; on the contrary, she was eager to try: "Finally! I can finally break free from Zhang Yu's clutches!"
The next moment, Zhang Yu's figure flashed, and he shot towards the location he had agreed upon with Yu Xinghan.
At the same time, Zhang Yu's eyes were already filled with various intelligence about the current battle situation.
At this moment, the five-layered battlefield is divided into two major battlefields: an inner battlefield and an outer battlefield.
Within the Zhou Tian Milky Way Formation, it was a complete battlefield for Nascent Soul cultivators. However, due to Fu Xiantian's intervention with the "Hell Cleansing Soul Scripture," more than half of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the top ten universities had their combat power severely weakened. At this moment, under the leadership of Magnetism God and Green Wood God, they were suffering repeated defeats.
Outside the Zhou Tian Milky Way Array lies the battlefield for Nascent Soul True Monarchs, where Nascent Soul True Monarchs from both camps are engaged in fierce combat around 360 array nodes on the vast battlefield.
"According to the observations of Teacher Magnet and his colleagues, these 360 nodes are the key to breaking the great formation. As long as these formation nodes are occupied, the great formation can be stopped from operating."
"Judging from the fact that the God of Reports had someone occupy the nodes of the formation, it seems that this is indeed the case."
But as Zhang Yu looked at the information on the 360 array nodes, he secretly felt something was wrong.
The reason they were surprised was that after the Nascent Soul cultivators from the ten schools began searching for these 360 nodes, they discovered that the positions of these array nodes had begun to change and move.
"With the array nodes constantly moving, we need to spread out more people to search for them, and we can't concentrate our efforts to break through them one by one."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This will delay things."
Looking towards the direction within the Zhou Tian Milky Way Formation, and seeing the Ten Schools Nascent Soul cultivators whose divine light was constantly diminishing, Zhang Yu knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. They had to break the formation as soon as possible.
If another batch of Nascent Soul cultivators from the ten schools were to die, then breaking through the great formation might be useless.
Just then, a blood-red script was projected into the sky, indicating that another Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ten Schools had fallen, causing countless cultivators from the Ten Schools' side to feel a chill in their hearts.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "There are 31 left..."
A moment later, Zhang Yu met Yu Xinghan and handed the Fu Ji, who had transformed into a black bead, to her.
"Xinghan, you must personally hand 'her' over to Azhen, and you must never reveal 'her' existence to anyone."
"Also, don't believe a word she says. If she makes any unusual move... don't hesitate, destroy the bead immediately."
Listening to what Zhang Yu said to Yu Xinghan, Fu Ji knew that he was warning her not to make wishes to believers indiscriminately.
Fuki curled her lip, thinking to herself, "Tch, after all the help I've given you, you still distrust me like this? Do you think I'm some kind of evil god who would make wishes so easily?"
Yu Xinghan nodded. At this moment, he also knew that the bead in his hand was the manifestation of the evil god, and that this matter was of great importance.
Yu Xinghan said, "Don't worry, as long as I have a breath left, I will never let 'her' do anything reckless."
After repeatedly instructing Yu Xinghan, Zhang Yu watched her departing figure and then looked back at the Zhou Tian Milky Way Array.
However, he didn't rush to do anything. Instead, he sat cross-legged and began to recover his magical power.
At the same time, cultivators arrived at Zhang Yu's side and began to maintain his armor and magical body, and brought him magical treasures to store in his Taixu Cloud Treasury.
Zhang Yu understood that whether it was a magical body or armor, as long as it was made of material... it would wear out with use, let alone in such an intense battle.
Although the battle with True Monarch Taihao had not caused too much damage to his armor and magical body, Zhang Yu would try his best to maintain peak condition in the face of the possible fierce battles to come.
At the same time, new pieces of information about the array nodes kept appearing in Zhang Yu's eyes.
As the many Nascent Soul True Monarchs ahead explored, fought, and investigated, they gradually discovered some patterns in the changes of the array nodes.
"If we can figure out the patterns of change as soon as possible, we won't have to spend a lot of time searching, and the progress at key points in the battle will be much faster..."
Just as Zhang Yu was pondering this, someone he hadn't seen in a long time contacted him.
"Teacher Xinghuo?" Zhang Yu looked at the projection in front of him and asked in surprise, "You have already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?"
Starfire True Monarch nodded and said casually, "I asked Qingmu for the Nascent Soul Certificate. Don't worry, I didn't break through illegally."
After showing off his Nascent Soul Certificate, True Monarch Xinghuo continued, "According to my investigation, this Zhou Tian Milky Way Array is a double array within a double array, with the two sets of arrays being integrated."
"The inner formation is the Zhou Tian Milky Way Formation, which was used to trap the two Nascent Soul Divine Lords."
"The outer array is a hidden array of countless stars, which is the key to unlocking the inner array."
With a look of reminiscence, True Monarch Xinghuo said, "I learned this 'Starry Sky Formation' when I was a security guard in the sect."
"This immortal array appears to have 360 array nodes, but only one of them is real and can be called the array eye. The other 359 are all fake and useless."
"To break this formation, we must find the one true core of the formation."
"Moreover, not only do the 360 nodes change constantly, but the array's core also jumps and changes back and forth between these 360 nodes. Each of the 360 nodes could be real, and each could be fake. Only by entering it can one detect the real from the fake..."
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Yu frowned sharply. Although True Monarch Xinghuo had brought new and crucial information, it made Zhang Yu realize even more how troublesome this outer formation was.
Zhang Yu said, "Doesn't that mean that in the worst-case scenario, we would have to investigate all 360 array nodes and leave behind detection methods before we could possibly find the real array eye?"
After revealing the information he had to Zhang Yu, True Monarch Xinghuo continued, "That's right, this is what makes the 'Starry Sky Array' so troublesome."
"Given your current status, releasing this information would be more convincing. As for how to use this information, that's up to you."
After ending his call with Zhang Yu, True Monarch Xinghuo looked at the array nodes in front of him and thought to himself, "Something still doesn't feel right. I feel like... I've missed something crucial."
...
Meanwhile, Zhang Yu on the other side transmitted the information from True Monarch Xinghuo to the top ten universities.
After some discussion, the ten universities began transporting detection artifacts from the rear, intending to search for array nodes while leaving detection artifacts among them to detect the authenticity of the array eyes at any time.
While Zhang Yu was resting and discussing matters with the leaders of various schools, he received another message from Zhang Pianpian.
Zhang Pianpian: See you at the usual place.
Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly headed to the Taiqing Realm.
As the 20x time acceleration within Taiqing was activated, Zhang Yu asked the projection of Zhang Pianpian in front of him, "Sister, is there something you need?"
Zhang Pianpian looked at Zhang Yu in front of her, and with a light tap of her fingertip, a blueprint flew out.
Shortly after the sky was torn open, Zhang Pianpian activated the computing power of the divine network and continuously deduced the situation based on all the information currently available in the spirit world.
After realizing the current disadvantages of the top ten universities, Zhang Pianpian quickly accessed all the remaining spiritual world information on the fifth level of Kunxu.
Although the true god has disappeared without a trace, the entire five-layered divine power network continues to operate.
Various supernatural networks have created monitoring, detection, and weather systems... all of which are operating day and night.
By accessing a large amount of data, Zhang Pianpian reconstructed the construction site changes of the Zhengqi Alliance's Zhou Tian Yinhe Grand Array and Mantian Xingdou Grand Array.
Then, using the computing power of the divine network, they deduced the changing trajectories of the 360 nodes of the star array on the earth.
Zhang Pianpian said, "...The changes in the nodes that I deduced are all contained in this diagram. Based on this diagram, you should be able to speed up your search for the array nodes."
Looking at the array diagram sent by Zhang Pianpian, Zhang Yu was overjoyed and said, "Sister, based on this array diagram, can we find the array's core?"
Zhang Pianpian asked in confusion, "The core of the formation?"
Zhang Yu then recounted the information that True Monarch Xinghuo had provided.
Zhang Pianpian shook her head and said, "I only deduced the current operating trajectory of the array nodes based on the construction trajectory of the Righteous Alliance. But after the array is activated, the changing patterns of its array cores are probably only known to the person who set up the array."
Zhang Yu sighed. Although he couldn't find the core of the formation directly, it was still good to be able to confirm the changing trajectory of the formation nodes.
Just then, Zhang Pianpian suddenly said, "Brother, have you ever thought about giving up the fifth floor for now?"
Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, then said firmly, "I won't consider this step unless absolutely necessary."
Zhang Pianpian smiled; the other party's answer was exactly what she had imagined.
Zhang Pianpian didn't say much, she just nodded and told Zhang Yu to be careful.
Watching the other person disappear, Zhang Pianpian turned her head and activated the Chaos Fate Algorithm of the Divine Power Network once again.
A vast amount of information and intelligence, combined with observations of fortune and deductions of cause and effect, may not yield a clear process, but it can produce a vague result.
Zhang Pianpian had just calculated tens of thousands of times, yet the result remained the same.
An answer that is worse than "extremely ominous" or "most ominous".
"Heaven will punish..."
Zhang Pianpian sighed. At this moment, the fifth level of Kunxu was a dead end in her eyes, filled with deathly aura.
"Although the Chaos Destiny Algorithm only yields a vague result, its accuracy has never been low."
“Heavenly Punishment… If it were just about destroying the fifth floor as Fu Xiantian said, I’m afraid that wouldn’t be enough.”
"Or rather, there shouldn't be anything on the entire second to fifth floors that could trigger divine retribution."
"So it was brought down from above?"
"No wonder a top-tier expert came personally."
"What exactly did this guy bring down from up there?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Pianpian's eyes once again saw the massive amount of information in the fifth layer. She wanted to continue searching through all the information in the divine power network over the past dozen months to see what Fu Xiantian had done.
...
As soon as Zhang Yu released the array diagram, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the top ten universities immediately sprang into action, scattering and heading towards different nodes in an effort to pinpoint the location of the array's core as quickly as possible.
Zhang Yu did not rush to act. Instead, he waited until his magical body and armor were fully repaired, his physical strength and magical power were restored to their peak, and he replenished a batch of magical treasures before setting off.
His eyes widened in surprise as a map of the entire fifth level of Kunxu appeared before him.
Among them, 360 dots are constantly moving. Some dots are black, indicating that they have not yet been found. Some dots are red, indicating that they have been found, but are not the key to the formation.
In addition, you can see the names of Nascent Soul True Monarchs moving on the map, the array nodes they are searching for, the locations where battles break out, and the possible locations of certain Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
"Those that are closer to me..."
Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened: "The Celestial Phenomenon True Monarch and the Devouring Heaven True Monarch who are currently fighting at a formation node?"
Zhang Yu remembered that Qingmu Shenjun had mentioned this Tianxiang Zhenjun, who was one of the judges when he took the civil engineering military certificate exam, and the other party had supported him at the time.
The next moment, Zhang Yu, clad in the Sky-Shattering War God Armor, soared into the sky like a black lightning bolt, tearing through the air and shooting towards his target location.
...
With a deafening roar.
The Celestial True Lord shot out like a meteor, crashing into and shattering several mountain peaks before finally coming to a stop in mid-air.
But he had barely stopped when a huge fist suddenly appeared on his head, slamming him down like a meteor crashing to the ground, causing a tremor akin to an earthquake of magnitude 8.
boom!
After deflecting all the broken rocks and stones off his body, Celestial Phenomenon True Lord looked up and saw Devouring Heaven True Lord slowly descending from mid-air.
The Celestial Phenomenon True Lord said with an ugly expression, "Who exactly are you? Why do you know so many of our martial arts?"
The Celestial Phenomenon True Monarch was not unfamiliar with the Devouring Heaven True Monarch before him.
After all, the other party's reputation in the Dark Spirit Realm was too great. He was said to be the most proficient in the number of cultivation techniques among the Nascent Soul cultivators in the world. He was also said to be proficient in all the cultivation techniques of the ten major universities. It was said that the infringement fines he had paid were enough to buy half of Kunlun Ruins.
Such fame even spilled over from the Dark Spirit Realm, spreading by word of mouth among the many demon descendants in the Spirit Realm.
The Celestial True Lord originally did not believe in this legend.
After all, in his view, no matter how outstanding a cultivator's aptitude or how fast their cultivation speed, it was impossible for them to master the techniques of various schools and departments.
Therefore, he had always believed that this was false propaganda from the Righteous Alliance.
It wasn't until his recent exchange with the Devouring Heaven True Monarch that he was truly shocked. The opponent unleashed more than ten military-grade martial arts techniques from the Heavenly Demon University, leaving him powerless to retaliate.
Hearing the words of the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord, the Devouring Heaven True Lord sneered, and a pair of fangs burst out of the monkey's mouth, carrying a trace of explosive aura as he said, "I am the Great Sage's personal disciple, the new generation of Demon Saint. You can call me Devouring Heaven True Lord, or you can call me Devouring Heaven Great Sage."
Celestial True Lord shouted, "Are you still going to hide your true colors? If you didn't study at the Celestial Demon University, how could you have learned so many martial arts from our school?"
Upon hearing this, the Devouring Heaven True Monarch snorted coldly, his tail whipping through the air with a crackling sound.
The Devouring Heaven True Monarch arrogantly said, "Are the martial arts of the Heavenly Demon University so difficult to learn? They are nothing but a knock-off of the Great Sage's martial arts. I can learn them with just a few glances."
Having said that, the Devouring Heaven True Lord moved and descended from the sky like a rainbow piercing the sun, rushing towards the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord.
With a deafening roar, the collision of the two forces caused the mountains within a radius of hundreds of miles to tremble and undulate violently.
Celestial Phenomenon True Lord exclaimed in surprise, "The Sumeru Mountain King Scripture? You actually know this martial art?!"
The Sumeru Mountain King Scripture is the signature military-grade cultivation technique of the Civil Engineering Department of Tianyao University.
The Celestial Phenomenon True Monarch clearly did not remember that there was such a person in the Earth and Wood Realm, but the opponent's use of the Mount Sumeru King Sutra was extremely skillful. Not only did each punch and kick unleash surging power to suppress him, but he also transferred all the power of his attack to the emerging mountain range, shattering the mountains, while he himself remained unharmed.
Bang!
He lifted up the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord, and the Devouring Heaven True Lord opened his mouth and bit off a large chunk of flesh from the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord's body.
Celestial True Lord roared and struggled violently, but he felt that the opponent's power was inexhaustible. Not only did the opponent suppress him tightly, but the opponent also tore off a second piece of flesh.
In the blink of an eye, Celestial Phenomenon True Lord had been bitten to a bloody pulp, and one-third of him had been eaten alive by Devouring Heaven True Lord.
All that could be heard was a miserable howl from the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord, who roared, "You keep claiming to be a descendant of some Great Sage, some Demon Saint, yet now you're eating your own kind?"
The Devouring Heaven True Monarch's fangs pierced a large chunk of flesh through the Celestial Phenomenon True Monarch's chest, and he let out a low growl: "Fellow traveler?"
"Don't get it wrong, you scumbag."
"In my eyes, you are indeed of a higher level than scum, but you are still edible units. Especially someone like you who has sided with the Ten Schools and is willing to be a lackey of the Heavenly Court."
"All demons were born because of the Great Sage. My devouring you now is merely to return your lives to the Great Sage, to your origin..."
Having said that, the Devouring Heaven True Lord had already bitten off another large chunk of flesh from the Heavenly Phenomenon True Lord's chest.
Just as Celestial Phenomenon True Lord was on the verge of death, a figure shot over like a black lightning bolt.
The Great Sage Devouring Heaven seemed to sense some kind of threat. His monkey fur suddenly bristled, and he abruptly raised his blood-covered face, his beastly eyes glaring at the approaching figure.
Snap!
The other party clasped his hands together, and darkness instantly swallowed everything around him, dragging the Devouring Heaven True Monarch into an endless darkness.
At the same time, Devouring Heaven True Monarch felt a lightness in his hand, and the remains of Celestial Phenomenon True Monarch that he had been holding had disappeared without a trace.
"Candlelight!"
With a roar, the Devouring Heaven True Monarch, who was in absolute darkness, instinctively threw a punch, slamming it hard to his right.
Bang!
When the light returned, they saw the enormous fist of the Devouring Heaven True Lord and Zhang Yu's palm collide fiercely. Terrifying shockwaves shot out from the point of impact, whipping up a thousand layers of gale-force winds, stirring up the shattered mountain peaks, and forming a scene resembling a sandstorm.
The Devouring Heaven True Monarch's fangs bulged as he looked at Zhang Yu, who had caught his fist with one hand and saved the Celestial Phenomenon True Monarch with the other.
As the two sides clashed, Devouring Heaven True Monarch grinned and said, "You want to eat too? If you want to eat, just say so, but you can't steal it."
Zhang Yu said coldly, "I am a human being, not a wild beast that eats anything."
Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed the eyes of the Devouring Heaven True Monarch: "You're courting death!"
As he spoke, he threw another punch at Zhang Yu.
With the help of the Platinum Emperor's 333 magical remains, the Heaven-Shattering War God Armor, and his physical supernatural abilities, Zhang Yu steadily received the opponent's second punch, but his body involuntarily took a step back.
But then, the Devouring Heaven True Lord did not stop at all. His fists, palms, legs, fingers... even his tail was like a steel whip or a long stick, unleashing all kinds of military-grade martial arts. It was as if he had turned into a storm, about to completely engulf Zhang Yu.
"This demon monkey..." Zhang Yu could sense that compared to close combat, he was no match for the other party. Not only did the other party's moves completely suppress him, but in terms of physical strength output, the other party also surpassed him, who was supported by multiple magical bodies and magical treasures.
"There's no need to engage him in close combat..."
Zhang Yu casually tossed the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord onto the battlefield, and immediately activated the Kunlun in his palm.
With a distortion of space, the Devouring Heaven True Monarch, who had been attacking like a storm, was now transformed into a monkey the size of an egg, held in Zhang Yu's palm.
But the next moment, Zhang Yu's gaze suddenly sharpened.
The Devouring Heaven True Monarch clenched his fists, and a series of earth-shattering gravitational forces erupted from his palms.
"The Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power?" Zhang Yu looked at the Devouring Heaven True Monarch in surprise, not expecting that the other party had even mastered this military-grade martial art.
At the same time, just as Zhang Yu was supporting the Devouring Heaven True Monarch with one hand.
The earth trembled, and under the power of the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Force and the Sumeru Mountain King Scripture, a massive amount of rocks transformed into a stone monkey that reached the heavens and the earth, which gently lifted Zhang Yu with a palm the size of a city.
The stone monkey's mouth gaped open, shaking the wind and clouds, and the Devouring Heaven True Lord's sinister laugh echoed: "Now, who is in whose hands?"
