"Half-step into Divine Transformation is that formidable? Today, I shall face ten!"
As Zhang Fan's words fell, countless sword dao rules and thunder dao rules erupted from his body, enveloping an area of a hundred miles. Sharp sword qi danced in the air, and thunder filled with destructive power flashed across the heavens and earth.
A domain, encompassing nearly two million dao rules, took shape.
Upon careful sensing, everyone's heart was filled with shock.
The number of thunder dao and sword dao rules had both reached over ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, just one step away from perfection.
What a terrifying number this was.
Yes, in this closed-door cultivation, Zhang Fan had not only elevated his cultivation to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage but had also refined the rules of sword dao and thunder dao to a state incredibly close to perfection.
Yet, before they could fully react, Zhang Fan took a step forward, divine light flashing from his upright form. An invisible force of disintegration permeated outwards, overlapping with the thunder sword dao domain. Under the dual domains, the previously calm ten half-step into Divine Transformation experts visibly changed their expressions.
The numerous Nascent Soul cultivators behind him felt as if shackles had bound them, every inch of their strength greatly restrained.
With the domain established, Zhang Fan flipped his hand, retrieving a blood-colored iron sword. He gripped it with both hands and slashed out fiercely.
Innumerable sword dao rules condensed, making the sword light incredibly resplendent, as if connecting heaven and earth, splitting the world in two.
Facing this domineering and peerless sword strike, Fu Beichen and the others instinctively wanted to evade, to temporarily avoid its sharp edge. But they suddenly remembered that behind their ten half-step into Divine Transformation experts stood nearly a hundred of the most powerful Nascent Soul cultivators from the three factions.
If they evaded, this strike would likely blast a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators to dust.
"Attack together, we must block it!"
After all, the ten of them were half-step into Divine Transformation experts. Even with the suppression of the dual domains, they could only exert seventy to eighty percent of their strength. United, they were still incredibly formidable. The resplendent sword light was jointly blocked by the ten, and under the bombardment of various divine abilities and spells, it transformed into a sky full of sword light.
"Kill!"
As Zhang Fan unleashed his sword strike, the battle commenced. Neither side hesitated, and they charged towards each other.
"These three old guys seem to have their eyes set on the sword dao secret treasure on me, as they are all attacking me simultaneously!" Liu Mu had just moved when he saw Fu Beichen, Bai Mengtian, and Sima Cang all charging towards him.
Ling Xiu and Mo Yan saw this and simultaneously charged towards Bai Mengtian and Fu Beichen.
"Old ghost Bai, we didn't finish last time, let's continue now." Even though he had been defeated by Bai Mengtian in the Panlong Mountain Range that day, Mo Yan was still filled with fighting spirit and showed no fear.
This was because under the suppression of Zhang Fan's dual domains, Bai Mengtian's strength could not be fully unleashed, while he, not being bound by the domains, instead felt like a fish in water.
"A defeated opponent, how dare you speak of bravery?" Bai Mengtian said disdainfully. "Since you were lucky to escape that day, I will send you on your way today."
"The arrogant soldier is bound to lose, it's determined from the start. You will all be defeated today, and the Flying Immortal Mansion will be eradicated from the Wushan Starfield."
Fu Beichen also wanted to deal with Liu Mu first and seize the great dao secret treasure, but before he could get close, Ling Xiu blocked him.
The great dao secret treasure was within reach, yet Ling Xiu entangled him, igniting a surge of anger within Fu Beichen. He stared coldly at Ling Xiu, his voice low, "Today, I will surely cut you down!"
"It's either you die or I live. Why speak so much nonsense?" Ling Xiu had a pair of dark circles on his hands, with an ethereal black light swirling around them. As he threw a punch, space vibrated and shattered like a mirror.
Fu Beichen unleashed his Blackwater Sword Technique and met Ling Xiu head-on.
"I heard your name is Sima Cang. Your arm recovered quite quickly. I wonder if it will grow back after I chop it off again?" Liu Mu, holding a heavy sword, swung it towards Sima Cang.
Three months of closed-door cultivation had allowed Liu Mu to gain a deeper understanding of the sword dao secret treasure in his hand. He was confident that even without the suppression of Zhang Fan's dual domains, he could fight Sima Cang to a draw.
But now, he had the confidence to kill him.
Zhang Fan transformed into thunder and engaged with seven half-step into Divine Transformation experts. Although his cultivation was only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, in terms of the sheer depth of his elemental power, few among the half-step into Divine Transformation experts could rival him.
With the advantage of sword dao and thunder dao rules, as long as the opponent's soul and rules were not fully fused, Zhang Fan was confident he could sweep aside all opposition.
These seven half-step into Divine Transformation experts were the hidden trump cards of the three factions. They usually cultivated in seclusion, detached from worldly affairs, and their strength was even greater than that of Fu Beichen and the others. However, even when facing them together, they could not deal with Zhang Fan.
Apart from the half-step into Divine Transformation experts, the other cultivators from the Six Kings' Mansion were also locked in battle with the three factions. With the assistance of the dual domains, although they were at a numerical disadvantage, when the battle truly began, a scene unfolded that was difficult for everyone to comprehend.
The Six Kings' Mansion, along with Lin Haotian, the Blood Demon Jiao, and over twenty others, were fighting on par with the alliance of nearly a hundred people from the three factions.
"What a terrifying domain! How can cultivators of the Seven Tribulations Realm exert even less than fifty percent of their strength within it?"
If cultivators below the Six Tribulations Realm entered this dual domain, Zhang Fan would not even need to act; he could easily slaughter them with the power of the domain.
The Blood Demon Jiao's massive body thrashed in the air. With its formidable physique, few cultivators below the Divine Transformation stage could breach its defenses. Seeing Zhang Fan holding back seven half-step into Divine Transformation experts single-handedly, it became even more unrestrained.
"Dragon Tail Sweep!"
A massive tail swept out, and a large group of cultivators from the three factions could not withstand this powerful force, spitting blood as they were struck.
"Haha, satisfying!" The Blood Demon Jiao swallowed a Seven Tribulations Realm cultivator in one gulp, roaring with laughter!
Seeing the Blood Demon Jiao's brazenness, a half-step into Divine Transformation expert could not stand it and wanted to break free from Zhang Fan's restraint to deal with this Flood Dragon first.
But how could Zhang Fan allow him to have his way? "Try this move."
Zhang Fan's cultivation technique whirled madly within his body. The Heaven-Splitting Rhino Sutra was instantly illuminated. At the same time, a colossal phantom of a Heaven-Splitting Rhino appeared above Zhang Fan's head, and an aura filled with primeval ancient charm enveloped the entire Falling Immortal Mountain Range.
"This is... the chaotic fierce beast, Heaven-Splitting Rhino?"
They had no time to be alarmed as the Heaven-Splitting Rhino stepped forward, charging towards one of them.
The sharp single horn on its head struck fear into the hearts of the half-step into Divine Transformation experts. They all had the feeling that if they were impaled by it, they would instantly be annihilated, body and soul.
