"Are you a cultivator from the Wu Shan star domain?" Qin Yun scrutinized Zhang Fan, his voice icy.
"Indeed," Zhang Fan did not deny it.
"So, Qin Hao was indeed killed by you?"
Zhang Fan nodded, his eyes fixed on Qin Yun, and he said with a light smile, "It actually took some effort to kill him. Your Ju Ling Hall certainly gave him plenty of protective treasures, but since he provoked me, even with more life-saving artifacts, he still had to die."
The surrounding cultivators looked at Zhang Fan as if he were a lunatic. His words were too harsh. Was he not already provoking Qin Yun enough?
"Hahahaha, very good. You dare speak to me like this and still show me your abilities." Qin Yun burst into laughter in his rage. He no longer gave Zhang Fan a chance to speak. His immense Dharma power and powerful primordial spirit surged out, flooding towards Zhang Fan. The onlookers' feet erupted with Dharma power, turning into streams of light as they retreated far away.
When a Nascent Soul True Immortal unleashed his full power, anyone who got too close, even if only by the residual shockwaves, would be severely injured.
Facing the overwhelmingly powerful Qin Yun, Zhang Fan remained unfazed. Without haste, he collected Lin Haotian and the others into his Golden Light Immortal Mansion.
"Die!"
Qin Yun suppressed space and unleashed a palm strike, which devoured the surrounding space like a black hole. The space shattered layer by layer, and the palm print transformed into a colossal black dragon that lunged at Zhang Fan.
"Go!"
Zhang Fan flipped his hand and retrieved the Myriad Beasts Cauldron. He struck its body with his palm, and countless lightning sword laws surged into it, empowering the Myriad Beasts Cauldron to collide with the palm strike.
With a resounding clang, the Myriad Beasts Cauldron shot back into Zhang Fan's hand as a black streak of light. Qin Yun's strike was blocked, and a bright glint flashed in his eyes.
"Great Dao Secret Treasure? I didn't expect to gain such a treasure today." Qin Yun roared with laughter, and a torrent of sword laws surged from within him, exceeding nine hundred thousand in number. He made a sword of his hand, and as his finger lightly descended, a heart-stopping sword energy silently sliced towards Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan, also using his finger as a sword, unleashed a sword finger with his perfected lightning sword laws. The two sword lights collided like shooting stars, the space illuminated by the dazzling sword light before exploding, transforming into a powerful rule storm that spread outwards.
"Under Qin Yun's full-powered strike, they fought to a draw?"
The onlookers had long since retreated hundreds of miles away. Looking at that tall, upright figure standing in mid-air, they were all shaken.
To battle a True Immortal of the Nascent Soul stage against a cultivator of the Soul Transformation stage was as preposterous as a fantasy, yet it was happening before their eyes, leaving them in awe and excitement.
"This monstrous talent, to actually be able to fight a true Soul Transformation True Immortal." Liu Mu cursed inwardly. He had only heard of perfected Dao laws at the Nascent Soul stage, never seen them. The combat power Zhang Fan was currently displaying filled him with envy.
"When did the Wu Shan star domain produce such a prodigy?" The cultivators of the Wan Shan Sect were also shocked by Zhang Fan's display. The Wu Shan star domain was merely a frontier star domain where Soul Transformation True Immortals were rarely seen even over a million years; how could it produce such a monstrous talent?
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes, staring at Zhang Fan. He felt an incredibly complete resonance from that sword light, a realm he himself was currently pursuing. He never expected to see it in a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Perfected Sword Dao laws?" Qin Yun softly uttered the words, which sounded like a dream to the surrounding people. It was perhaps true; the only explanation for a Nascent Soul cultivator to fight a Soul Transformation True Immortal was perfected laws.
"Are you envious?" Zhang Fan said with a smile. "I just heard that you, Qin Yun, are the fastest-cultivating genius of Ju Ling Hall in the past ten thousand years. Why are you still only at the Primordial Spirit realm? I'm a little disappointed."
The Soul Transformation stage was divided into three major realms: Primordial Spirit Realm, Spirit Refining Realm, and Soul Transformation Realm.
As long as one completely fused Dao laws with their divine soul and passed the Soul Transformation tribulation to cultivate an indestructible primordial spirit, they would have truly reached the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Although the previous Southern Venerable had cultivated a primordial spirit, he had not passed the Soul Transformation tribulation and thus had not cultivated an indestructible primordial spirit, so he could only be considered half-step Soul Transformation.
To break through from the Primordial Spirit Realm to the Spirit Refining Realm, the primary condition was to cultivate Dao laws to a state of perfection. This step blocked over ninety-nine percent of Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators. This showed how difficult it was to cultivate Dao laws to perfection.
The fact that Zhang Fan could cultivate Dao laws to perfection at the Nascent Soul stage meant that after he passed the Soul Transformation tribulation, he would be able to contend for the Spirit Refining Realm in a very short period.
"Heh heh, it is indeed surprising that such a talented cultivator has appeared in the Sui Xing star domain." A resonant laugh suddenly sounded. A tall figure appeared beside Qin Yun. Upon seeing his face, everyone was moved.
"It's the Hall Master!" The cultivators of Ju Ling Hall exclaimed excitedly. The person who arrived was none other than the Hall Master of Ju Ling Hall, True Immortal Ju Que.
"Little friend, you killed my Ju Ling Hall disciples and are still so arrogant. Do you truly believe my Ju Ling Hall has no one?" True Immortal Ju Que's eyes bore into Zhang Fan, and he asked coldly.
"Whether your Ju Ling Hall has people or not has nothing to do with me. Anyone who provokes me will die." Facing two cultivators of the Soul Transformation stage, Zhang Fan was completely unafraid, because he could sense that the Hall Master of Ju Ling Hall was only at the Primordial Spirit Realm, posing no threat to him.
"A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to speak to me like this? Interesting." True Immortal Ju Que's eyes fixed on Zhang Fan. "You had best produce a background that even frightens me, or you will perish here today." 138 Reading Network
"Hahaha, to have cultivated to this point and still be so hesitant. How can you achieve greatness?" Zhang Fan did not reply but instead sneered.
Liu Mu came to Zhang Fan's side. Seeing Zhang Fan so defiant even in the face of two Soul Transformation True Immortals, he felt he could not stand it. He tugged at Zhang Fan's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, are you sure about this? I'm still young and don't want to die prematurely."
"Stop with the nonsense. Hurry and enter the Golden Light Immortal Mansion." Zhang Fan urged.
"Are you planning to make a big scene?" Liu Mu asked excitedly.
"I'm planning to run. I'm afraid you'll slow me down."
Liu Mu was speechless, but he obediently entered the immortal mansion. If Zhang Fan was truly planning to escape, his speed would indeed be a hindrance.
"Since that is the case, you shall leave your life here today!" True Immortal Ju Que's eyes flashed with cold light. Just as he was about to make a move, he stopped. He looked towards the void and said, "Old thief Dong Ji, since you're here, come out. There's no point in hiding from me."
"Ju Que, you coming to my Wan Shan Continent without even a word. That's a bit much." A slightly aged voice sounded. A figure emerged from a spatial rift that appeared in the sky.
