Chapter 734 Natural Disaster Zhang Yu (Bonus Chapter 1300+ words)
Seeing the message from Zhang Yu, Lord Qingmu smiled and replied: It's good that you're back.
Zhang Yu: Teachers, please wait a moment, I will open the great formation as soon as possible.
On the current Nascent Soul battlefield, with the discovery of the true array nodes, or array eyes, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Righteous Alliance and the Ten Schools have gathered here to launch the final battle.
Within the array's core, which was no more than 1 square kilometer in size, an unprecedented fierce battle erupted.
Because... whoever can control the array's core can choose to break it or maintain the Zhou Tian Milky Way Array, and whoever can change the situation of the Nascent Soul battlefield, change the future of Kunxu Levels 2 to 5, and change the fate of billions of living beings.
In this decisive battle that determined the assets of countless people, each Nascent Soul True Monarch unleashed their full power, shining brightly on the battlefield.
But even amidst all this brilliance, one person's radiance shines brightly, unparalleled and enough to overshadow everyone else.
The Immortal Slayer, a mysterious Nascent Soul cultivator, dominated the battlefield, invincible and crushing one powerful Nascent Soul cultivator after another from the top ten universities into dust, single-handedly controlling the course of the battle.
Under the sweeping force of his sword, the many powerful figures of the top ten were defeated one after another. The remaining main force, such as True Lord Tian Sha, True Lord Miao Shou, and True Lord Xian Yin, were still fighting to the death within the formation, but in the eyes of the many powerful figures of the Righteous Alliance, they were already struggling to survive.
Seeing this scene, the traitor Zhan Yun Zhenjun thought to himself, "After eliminating them, the entire array core will be completely occupied by the Righteous Alliance, and the Ten Schools will have no chance to turn the tide."
Thinking about this, True Monarch Zhanyun was even more grateful that he had made the right choice in the end and successfully joined the Righteous Alliance.
At the same time, the entire array eye was surrounded by many powerful members of the Righteous Alliance. Under the sweeping power of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs, hundreds of kilometers outside the array eye had been encircled.
It was at this moment that Zhang Yu arrived at a position 122 kilometers away from the array's core, and he also sensed that his presence was being locked onto by a series of magical artifacts.
He has been discovered.
Zhang Yu's gaze swept across the battlefield, as if traversing a distance of 122 kilometers, and he saw the Heavenly Slaughter True Lord and the String Sound True Lord fighting desperately, and the Immortal Slayer True Lord who was about to achieve victory.
"Senior," Zhang Yu asked, "How's the situation right now?"
Zhang Pianpian's message caught Zhang Yu's eye: Heavenly Killer True Monarch and the others can hold out for a while longer.
Zhang Pianpian: If you can break through the Righteous Alliance's encirclement before they perish, cross this 122-kilometer distance, defeat everyone in the formation's core, especially that Immortal Slayer True Monarch, and prevent any Righteous Alliance powerhouse from entering the formation's core within 16 minutes...
Zhang Pianpian: If you can do these things, I can help you control the array's core.
Zhang Yu did not answer. He took a deep breath, took a step forward, and accelerated instantly, leaving a trail of afterimages as he sprinted forward.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of this battlefield, the Great Master True Monarch had already discovered Zhang Yu's presence.
As one of the strongest members of the Righteous Alliance, the Great Master True Monarch came to the outer edge of the battlefield to oversee the situation, specifically to intercept and block anyone who wanted to escape from inside or anyone who wanted to break in from the outside to provide support.
He estimated in his mind: "It won't be long before the top ten experts inside start to surrender or flee on a large scale."
Upon discovering Zhang Yu, Dazhuan Zhenjun immediately sensed a sense of surprise.
"Zhang Yu...you finally escaped, and you still dare to come here?"
Before Xi Shen was captured, she naturally sent a message for help. The news that Zhang Yu and others had escaped was also seen by Da Zhuan Zhen Jun.
Although he didn't know how Zhang Yu and the others escaped, looking at Zhang Yu in front of him, Dazhuan Zhenjun felt a sense of luck.
"Then I will suppress you once again."
The live stream was renamed "Suppressing True Monarch Candlelight," and traffic packages and recommendation slots were poured in one by one. With a light tap of his fingertips, he released incantations.
At the same time, Dazhuan Zhenjun had already sent a message in his own battle group: Zhang Yu is left to me alone, no one else is allowed to interfere!
In an instant, the Great Master had already adjusted to his optimal combat state.
The First Form of the Book of Heaven and Earth: Murder!
He casually hurled a corpse at Zhang Yu like a meteor. With a loud bang, the corpse shattered, and a spiritual projection appeared above Zhang Yu's head—a faint red image of a murderer.
At the same time, news about Zhang Pianpian caught Zhang Yu's eye.
Zhang Pianpian: It's a spiritual attack. The other party pinned the blame on you to trigger the divine network's subsequent attack on you.
Zhang Pianpian: But I think this might be an opportunity for you, which is why I arranged for you to launch the attack from this direction.
Zhang Yu asked: What kind of attack will the Divine Power Network launch?
After listening to Zhang Pianpian's explanation, Zhang Yu replied, "I understand. You don't need to block frontal attacks for me. You're right, this is indeed an advantage for me, allowing me to bring the battlefield into my area of expertise."
Zhang Yu: But I'd appreciate it if you could help me postpone the fine and such.
Zhang Pianpian: Don't worry, you won't be fined a single penny.
The moment Zhang Yu and Zhang Pianpian finished their conversation, a warning from the Divine Power Network arrived.
"Cultivator Zhuyi Zhenjun, we have detected that you committed acts of violence against the victim He Yiyang at the [time of the incident] and [location of the incident], resulting in the victim's death."
"Your personal account has been flagged. In accordance with Article 12 of Chapter 3 of the Kunxu Basic Law, please cooperate with the detention..."
Numerous red warnings kept popping up, filling Zhang Yu's field of vision like bandages.
As Zhang Yu continued forward and ignored them, wisps of divine power appeared in the air, transforming into giant hands that reached out to grab him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
As Zhang Yu shattered one powerful hand after another, the red warning in front of him grew brighter and brighter.
"Violent resistance to law enforcement detected! Violent resistance to law enforcement detected!"
Seeing this, the College Student True Lord smiled slightly and launched his second move: infringement.
The Great Master Zhenjun said with a faint smile, "Zhang Yu, you have already fallen into the net I have woven and have entered my battle domain."
As more and more pieces of infringing knowledge were sent to Zhang Yu, his crimes escalated once again. The four characters "True Lord Candlelight" above his head not only became even redder, but also unknowingly gained an extra red star.
Zhang Pianpian reminded him: According to the Divine Power Network's judgment, you are already a one-star criminal.
At the same time, Zhang Yu felt that the spiritual energy in the world had become stagnant, making it difficult for him to absorb it.
A wave of pressure emanated from the atmosphere, and gusts of wind transformed into shockwaves that seemed almost tangible, crashing down from the sky and hurtling towards Zhang Yu.
Amidst the crackling explosions, the ground beneath Zhang Yu was blasted into numerous large craters by the aftershocks of the bombardment.
Zhang Yu continued to advance despite these attacks.
Fleeing from justice, violently resisting law enforcement, damaging the environment, committing serious infringements...
As the charges against him piled up, Zhang Yu's crime level also rose again, skyrocketing from 1 star to 3 stars.
The offensive launched by the divine network is becoming increasingly terrifying.
Dozens, even hundreds, of waterspouts descended from the sky, each composed of thousands upon thousands of high-speed water jets, slashing towards Zhang Yu at dozens of times the speed of sound.
A sandstorm swept into the sky, each grain of sand like a shooting star or a flying sword, shattering the atmosphere with blinding light and crashing heavily into Zhang Yu.
At this moment, all the matter in the world seemed to become tools of battle, and under the control of the divine power network, they turned into natural disasters and pressed down on Zhang Yu.
With a loud bang, Zhang Yu continued his high-speed sprint despite the attack.
At this moment, he was still 120 kilometers away from the Immortal Slayer True Monarch.
Seeing this, the Great Master thought to himself, "The attacks from the divine power network are fully adjusted to target the target."
"The divine power network can obtain various information about the target cultivator in the spirit world, and determine the target's strength, combat style, and various basic intelligence based on a large amount of data..."
Just as the Great Master was pondering, a new wave of attacks from the Divine Power Network had already landed.
A series of crackling explosions emanated from Zhang Yu's body. At first, these explosions only left scratches on Zhang Yu's body, but as the divine power network continued to increase the intensity of its attacks, puffs of blood mist began to erupt from Zhang Yu's body.
As Zhang Yu continued to advance, his flesh was torn apart at a visible speed.
The True Lord of the College sneered inwardly: "Based on the data, the Divine Power Network can plan different attack methods, continuously increase the attack intensity, and even change the attack mode to target weaknesses."
"No matter how strong you are, the divine power network will mobilize an even stronger force to suppress you."
"This is a true fight to the death, an undefeated and endless battle, a true natural disaster attack."
Of course, with the level of talismans that the Great Master True Monarch could at most manipulate the divine power network's natural disaster attacks, he could not reach the power of the Nascent Soul stage, but in his opinion, it was more than enough to deal with Zhang Yu.
The next moment, with a roar from Zhang Yu, he charged forward, and the ground beneath his feet trembled violently. The level 40 Sumeru Mountain King Sutra was activated, and the power of the attack spread outwards. His injuries also began to heal gradually.
However, in the very next instant, the attack intensity of the divine power network increased again, and the torrent of water blades, like the Milky Way pouring down, rushed towards Zhang Yu with the force to sweep away the heavens and earth.
Watching Zhang Yu being swallowed up by the attack in the blink of an eye, the Great Master sneered in his heart: "With thousands of tons of matter attacking every second, even if your spatial technology is superb, can you contain it all?"
"Even if you possess profound magical power, can you withstand the boundless power of heaven and earth?"
Just as the Great Master was thinking this, a dragon roar came from Zhang Yu's body.
Suddenly, a giant dragon burst out of Zhang Yu's body, blocking the onslaught from the sky.
But just as the dragon blocked the overwhelming onslaught, its body exploded with a cloud of blood mist, indicating that it was severely injured.
However, even as the giant dragon formed from this real clone was being injured, Zhang Yu's physical supernatural power, [Formless Free Body], was operating violently, constantly allowing him to adapt to the attacks.
So when the severely injured dragon returned to his body, and when the water blades struck Zhang Yu's body again, they only made a series of explosions, but left no trace of injury.
Seemingly aware of this, the Divine Power Network increased the intensity of its attack once again.
Wind cannons, tornado water blades, sandstorm flying swords, divine power hands, heavenly fire burning... surging natural disasters struck one after another, and their intensity was repeatedly amplified under the adjustment of the divine power network.
Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, the figures of giant dragons, bull demons, giant monkeys... one after another, burst forth from Zhang Yu's body, shielding him from the immense natural disasters before disappearing back inside.
Under this series of attacks, Zhang Yu's physical body was constantly injured, regenerated, and advanced!
Even defying heaven and earth seems to have no effect on his progress.
When Zhang Yu was still 90 kilometers away from the Immortal Slayer, he was surrounded by wind and fire, surging torrents, and sweeping frost... One deadly natural disaster after another turned the area within several thousand meters around him into a death zone.
As he watched this scene, the Great Master retreated, a look of disbelief flashing across his face.
"Fine, I'll see how long you can hold out!"
As Dazhuan Zhenjun's fingers danced, he finally finished crafting a new charge against Zhang Yu after much preparation.
"Tax evasion!"
Boom! The name above Zhang Yu's head turned completely red, and the number of stars behind it suddenly increased to the fourth.
A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, causing even the distant Great Master Zhenjun to feel a sense of suffocation.
A dense barrage of warning notices suddenly appeared, urging all unrelated personnel to leave immediately.
In the sky, a blazing light suddenly shone, and the sunlight from a radius of a thousand miles seemed to converge into a single point at that moment, before falling towards Zhang Yu like a meteor.
One after another, the figures of demonic beasts suddenly surged out and blocked Zhang Yu's way.
The dragon transformed into a fireball and crashed to the earth; the roc's body was charred black as it staggered backward; the bull demon roared as it was severely burned...
As one demonic beast after another resisted, Zhang Yu's adaptability continued to improve. He finally managed to catch the attack with one hand, and then, in a deafening explosion, Zhang Yu's figure was completely swallowed up.
But the next moment, more flames lit up the sky, aimed at Zhang Yu's location.
A warning appeared in his eyes: True Lord Zhuyi, please stop immediately and cooperate with the investigation.
Zhang Yu did not stop. With one step, he left a long afterimage on the ground.
Looking at the figure emerging from the raging flames, the shock in Dazhuan Zhenjun's eyes could no longer be concealed: "How is this possible? He can even take the blame for tax evasion?"
At this moment, Zhang Yu was still 88 kilometers away from the Immortal Slayer True Monarch.
Faced with Zhang Yu approaching, the College True Monarch retreated.
Whether intimidated by Zhang Yu's unwavering fighting spirit or afraid of the calamities that loomed over him, the Great Master Zhenjun subconsciously stepped aside, clearing Zhang Yu's path.
But just as a sense of resentment welled up in his heart, a figure roared and charged towards Zhang Yu.
"Candlelight!!"
With a roar, the recently resurrected Devouring Heaven True Lord activated the Three Divine Arts of Earth and Wood, charging towards Zhang Yu with a rain of meteors and fire.
Hundreds of real and fake clones were mixed in, unleashing various martial arts techniques to surround and kill them.
The defeat he suffered at the hands of Zhang Yu last time filled the Devouring Heaven True Monarch with resentment.
In his view, he had clearly gained the upper hand in the last battle, and Zhang Yu had only managed to win by using his clever trick of scattering red envelopes and asking for remote support.
Now, the Devouring Heaven True Lord has made up his mind never to accept Zhang Yu's red envelopes again, and the top ten universities can no longer provide remote support to Zhang Yu...
"Today! I will kill you!"
But the next moment, as Zhang Yu stepped out, the clones of Devouring Heaven True Monarch were also enveloped by the calamity.
Then the Devouring Heaven True Monarch felt that his many clones were being bombarded by heaven and earth.
Amidst the deafening explosions, the clones were shattered by the onslaught of various natural disasters.
The Devouring Heaven True Monarch was shocked: "Is this natural disaster so powerful?"
He had just observed Zhang Yu's condition, watching Zhang Yu steadily block the natural disasters time and time again, and thought that the attack was of limited threat. However, he did not expect that after the divine power network increased the attack intensity time and time again, it had increased the power of the natural disasters enveloping Zhang Yu to a terrifying level.
Feeling that more than half of his clones had died or been injured in the blink of an eye, Devouring Heaven True Monarch roared and retreated frantically.
But natural disasters followed closely in Zhang Yu's footsteps.
Enraged, the Devouring Heaven True Monarch roared and unleashed his full power in his clones, desperately resisting the threat of the natural disaster, only to be annihilated one by one in an instant.
Devouring Heaven True Monarch stared wide-eyed at Zhang Yu's increasingly approaching figure, feeling that the intensity of the natural disaster's attack was also suddenly increasing, and the danger level in every inch of space was rising sharply.
He felt like a shallow-water fish being pushed into the deep sea. As Zhang Yu approached, the pressure around him grew stronger and stronger, becoming increasingly irresistible, constantly squeezing his mind, ravaging his body, tearing his flesh, and breaking his bones.
Amidst the deafening explosions, the body of the Devouring Heaven True Lord was repeatedly torn apart by sand and dust, burned by heavenly fire, and compressed by the atmosphere...
Faced with this terrifying power, the Devouring Heaven True Monarch could only retreat, retreat again and again!
boom!
As Zhang Yu finally passed by him, the Devouring Heaven True Lord was crushed into dust by the terrifying power of heaven and earth and vanished into nothingness.
At this moment on the battlefield, Dazhuan Zhenjun was not the only one who witnessed this scene.
Seeing Zhang Yu still advancing despite the terrifying natural disaster, someone immediately shouted in the combat group: "Great Master! Stop him immediately!"
"Don't let the divine power network attack him anymore!"
"If this continues, he'll drag all of us into a defensive battle against him!"
The Great Master had naturally realized this as well. In fact, while the Devouring Heaven True Lord was being "walked" to death by Zhang Yu, he had been trying to stop the attack of the divine power network.
But after a series of attempts, he was shocked to discover...
"It won't stop!" the College Master exclaimed in surprise. "Why can't it stop?"
Not only did it not stop, but the Great Master also discovered that the attack intensity of the Divine Power Network was still increasing, and Zhang Yu's crimes were also increasing, showing a faint trend of breaking through the four-star level and rushing towards the five-star level.
At this moment, Zhang Yu was still 65 kilometers away from the Immortal Slayer True Monarch.
Liangyan Zhenjun and Liubao Zhenjun stood in front of Zhang Yu together.
As a major streamer in the Dark Spirit Realm and a proponent of the Ten Schools Collapse Theory, Liangyan Zhenjun did not shut down his live stream for most of the time after the war began.
Just as Zhang Yu began his advance, Liangyan Zhenjun began to comment on the event while simultaneously livestreaming.
"Now that the overall situation is settled, if Zhang Yu comes here now, he's just going to his death."
"Look, he's already been targeted by the True Lord of the College."
"The Divine Power Network has started an automatic attack; Zhang Yu won't be able to hold out for long."
"He's finished. Even the Devouring Heaven True Monarch couldn't stop him. How much longer can he hold on?"
"His magical power and vital energy must have been greatly depleted; his death is only a matter of time..."
According to Liangyan Zhenjun's commentary, although Zhang Yu continued to advance, he was gradually losing ground and his defeat was inevitable.
Countless viewers wholeheartedly agreed with his live commentary and firmly believed in this Nascent Soul True Lord from the Finance Department of Tianmo University.
At the same time, the "Curse of Ten Thousand Businesses and Controversies" by Liangyan Zhenjun had been quietly activated. With his smears, attacks, and revelations, he brought forth waves of cursed power that wrapped around Zhang Yu in front of him, weakening Zhang Yu's blood and energy circulation efficiency, and reducing Zhang Yu's physical strength.
As long as he continues to operate the "Curse of All Trades and Controversy" and guides more and more people to believe his attacks, gathering more and more luck to stand on his side, True Lord Liangyan can continuously weaken his opponents, and even eventually, under the overwhelming power of public opinion, directly reduce the opponent's cultivation level.
Just as True Lord Liangyan launched his attack, True Lord Liubao spoke up: "Not bad, not bad. You can see that Zhang Yu's movements are getting slower and slower, and he is having more and more difficulty moving. He is clearly at his last gasp..."
When Xiang Shen invited Taihao Zhenjun and the other two to deal with Bai Zhenzhen, he also invited Liubao Zhenjun.
However, at that time, this True Lord claimed that he would not invest in junk stocks, play with junk cryptocurrencies, or engage in stealth warfare. No matter how much the auspicious deity tried to persuade him with emotion and reason, True Lord Liubao did not participate in the operation at that time.
Seeing what happened to Taihao and the other two afterwards made Liubao Zhenjun glad he made the decision.
At this moment, the Righteous Alliance had the upper hand, and in Liubao Zhenjun's view, victory was inevitable. Zhang Yu alone could not change the overall situation, so he naturally acted without any scruples.
As Liu Bao Zhenjun spoke, along with his various criticisms of Zhang Yu, he also unleashed wisps of cursed power that surged toward Zhang Yu's location.
Liu Bao Zhenjun did not cultivate the "Curse of Ten Thousand Karmas and Controversies," but his years of arduous practice enabled him to imitate Taoist arts. At this moment, he was imitating Liang Yan Zhenjun's "Curse of Ten Thousand Karmas and Controversies" to cast a curse on Zhang Yu.
Seeing Zhang Yu's advance slowing down, Liu Bao Zhenjun thought to himself, "Can he hold on? Then let him hold on until he dies."
The next moment, a nascent soul suddenly appeared behind Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu and the Nascent Soul cultivator clashed palms together, simultaneously activating the immortal sect technique "Kunlun in the Palm"!
At the same time, with the blessing of the Nascent Soul's Ten Extraordinary Meridians combination [Universal Annihilation], the scope of Kunlun in the Palm of the Hand suddenly increased dramatically.
“It’s useless…” True Monarch Liubao thought to himself, “We have already looked at the range data of your technique. Although the range of your ‘Kunlun in the Palm’ is large, it cannot reach this distance…”
But the next moment, Liu Bao Zhenjun felt the world spinning before his eyes, and he and Liang Yan Zhenjun suddenly became much closer to Zhang Yu.
"What?!"
The two stared in shock at the scene, still not understanding what had happened.
Meanwhile, several of Zhang Yu's real clones were hiding underground, positioned between the two men and Zhang Yu.
As these real clones wielded the power of the immortal technique "Kunlun in the Palm," they were able to repeatedly drag the positions of True Lord Liubao and True Lord Liangyan, sending the two True Lords towards Zhang Yu through a relay between the clones.
After another dizzying spin, the two True Lords found themselves much closer to Zhang Yu.
In the blink of an eye, several changes occurred, and when he and Liangyan Zhenjun came to their senses, they found themselves in Zhang Yu's palm.
In a state of shock and rage, the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs soared into the sky, attempting to escape the range of the natural disaster.
But the next moment, Zhang Yu's crime level rose again, from four stars to five stars!
Liu Bao Zhenjun cried out in alarm and roared in the battle group, "Dazhuan! You fucking stop it right now!"
Seeing this, the college student Zhenjun exclaimed in shock, "This is the crime of counterfeiting currency."
"They still manufacture and circulate counterfeit currency on a large scale, violently resist the law, and even attack righteous gods..."
Looking at the long list of crimes, the College Student True Lord felt horrified: "I didn't add so many crimes to his list!"
Boom! Suddenly, the thunderclouds in the sky trembled.
A series of purple lightning bolts erupted, carrying a world-destroying power, and finally transformed into a purple pillar of light that fell down.
Faced with this terrifying power of heaven and earth, Zhang Yu dared not resist it any longer. He immediately clasped his hands together and activated "Kunlun in the Palm" and the Immortal Space.
In an instant, the area within a meter of Zhang Yu's body transformed into a black abyss, floating on the ground like a black hole.
A purple lightning bolt suddenly fell, continuously pouring into the black hole.
But Liu Bao Zhenjun and Liang Yan Zhenjun, who were standing to the side, were not so lucky.
Almost the instant the lightning bolt struck, their magical artifacts shattered, their entire magical bodies were completely vaporized, and their flesh and blood disintegrated, turning to ashes in just a few seconds...
Just after the lightning pillar disappeared, the black hole also vanished, and Zhang Yu's figure reappeared, continuing to rush towards the center of the formation.
But soon the purple lightning in the sky lit up again, continuing to unleash destructive power as Zhang Yu advanced.
When the second lightning bolt struck, Zhang Yu was still 60 kilometers away from the Immortal Slayer True Monarch.
Then, as the third, fourth... and all the way to the fifth bolt of purple lightning struck, Zhang Yu had advanced to a position where he was only 38 kilometers away from the Immortal Slayer True Monarch!
Someone shouted in the combat group: "The darkness he resists each time he blocks the lightning is getting fainter and fainter. Is his power about to run out?"
“No…” the college graduate said bitterly, “I’m getting used to it.”
The Great Master True Lord had been chasing Zhang Yu from behind, and through continuous observation, he gradually figured out many things about him.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Zhang Yu can adapt to attacks and increase his resistance to similar attacks. Therefore, he only uses spatial power to resist attacks that exceed his limits."
"He was just slowly letting more and more lightning strikes land on himself."
"As he absorbs less and less lightning strikes with his spatial abilities, it means he is becoming more and more accustomed to them, and gradually he will... overcome this attack."
The ninth lightning bolt struck, this time without a black hole or spatial distortion, completely engulfing Zhang Yu's figure.
But to everyone's astonishment, when the lightning pillar dissipated and Zhang Yu's figure reappeared, his body was covered in scorch marks and burns, and there were even chapped wounds writhing around him.
Inside Zhang Yu's body, which was unobserved by anyone, multiple organs were frozen by the Deep Cold Meridian, accelerating their self-healing process.
This was the most serious injury Zhang Yu had suffered since the start of the war.
However, seeing the wounds gradually healing, everyone understood that the Master of Colleges was right...
The Great Master was shocked and thought to himself, "He has already adapted to this wave of attacks."
Unbeknownst to him, the Great Master True Lord's pursuit of Zhang Yu slowed down, and he grew further and further away from Zhang Yu.
At this moment, Zhang Yu was still 30 kilometers away from the Immortal Slayer True Monarch.
