"You are still too young, after all. You should never underestimate any of the strong individuals who can be crowned Kings. Even Fairy Ziling would only be able to flee in disarray if she faced the two of us!" Mangya Zhenxian said.
"Mangya, do you think there's no one in the Zixiao Star Domain?"
A cold voice echoed in the void. A peerlessly beautiful figure appeared above the star river. She wore a purple dress, her figure was graceful, and her aura was like that of an immortal. Her exquisite features were as if carved by a master, truly worthy of the title "Fairy."
"Fairy Ziling has also arrived?"
Both the cultivators from the Zixiao Star Domain and the Jiuyai Star Domain were incredibly excited. These King-level powerhouses were rarely seen, yet they had all gathered here because of Shi Jue Zhenxian, with the three Kings present.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist Shi Jue." Fairy Ziling approached Zhang Fan and greeted him politely. She had been exploring the Dark Forest when she suddenly heard about the deeds of Shi Jue Zhenxian and was greatly shocked.
After all, on Qianxing Island, even she would find it difficult to kill a Nine-Star Marquis with defensive arrays, but Shi Jue Zhenxian had achieved it, and had even consecutively killed over a dozen Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Jiuyai Star Domain. Such an achievement, even for the arrogant her, was immensely admirable.
Zhang Fan smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Fairy, for coming to my aid. However, I have recently broken through in my cultivation and am eager to test the strength of the two Kings from the Jiuyai Star Domain."
Fairy Ziling understood the implied meaning of Zhang Fan's words and couldn't help but look at him. She saw that his eyes were calm and undisturbed, as if he were doing something very ordinary.
Fairy Ziling nodded and silently stepped aside. She believed that even if Zhang Fan were no match, he should have no problem protecting himself.
"You two attack together. I've heard that King Qianling is a master of illusions, capable of trapping even Void Returning Great Sages in his illusions for several breaths. I wonder if it's true?" Zhang Fan's gaze fixed on the humanoid special life form covered in eyes, smiling.
"We'll know if we try!" King Qianling's voice echoed in Zhang Fan's ears, and immediately a soul-confusing force enveloped him. An illusory world descended into Zhang Fan's mind.
Zhang Fan stood still, a smile on his face, as if his primordial spirit had fallen into an illusion.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound of drawing a sword rang out. An incredibly condensed sword energy sliced through the void, followed by a bright, gleaming long sword.
"Be careful, Shi Jue Zhenxian!" Fairy Ziling quickly warned him, but Mangya Zhenxian's speed was too fast, like instantaneous movement. The sword was drawn and had already reached Zhang Fan's front.
"This single strike is enough to shatter the Dao body and destroy the primordial spirit!" King Qianling remained in his original position, his face expressionless, a sinister laugh echoing in the void.
At this critical moment, Zhang Fan raised his hand and flicked it lightly, sending the sword flying. He then formed his hand into a fist and punched forward fiercely, heavily striking Mangya Zhenxian's chest.
"Myriad Dao Fist!"
With his Dao body now perfected and wielding the Myriad Daos, Zhang Fan unleashed this technique once more. The Myriad Daos of heaven and earth resonated, and all the boundless power gathered at the center of Zhang Fan's fist. Its strength was so great that no one below the Void Returning stage could resist it.
Even Mangya Zhenxian, whose Dao body was also perfected, had his chest pierced by Zhang Fan's punch. The power of the Great Dao eroded his physical body, and his aura weakened to the extreme.
"This..."
Fairy Ziling, who was about to attack, froze in place. She replayed Zhang Fan's incredibly stunning punch in her mind, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Being granted the title of King at the Nascent Soul stage proved she was also a being who had mastered the Great Dao, and her vision was far superior to other Nascent Soul cultivators. However, Zhang Fan's punch still felt mysterious and unfathomable to her, something she could not achieve in this lifetime.
"How is this possible? My illusions didn't affect his primordial spirit at all?" King Qianling's eyes were filled with disbelief. He clearly felt that Zhang Fan's primordial spirit was immersed in the illusory world.
"Your illusions are still too false. To me, they are like child's play," Zhang Fan said, shaking his head slightly.
Having cultivated the 'Candle Dragon's Eye,' he could see through all illusions. King Qianling's proud illusionary techniques were a joke in his eyes.
"Try my Candle Dragon's Eye then?" Flames burned in Zhang Fan's eyes. As his gaze swept out, space itself distorted. King Qianling felt a powerful primordial spirit force enveloping him. He seemed to see his great-grandmother. Only after several breaths did he break free from the illusion, then stared at Zhang Fan with a look of horror.
"Hurry and leave! This Shi Jue Zhenxian is too strange. We are no match for him!"
King Qianling scooped up the severely injured Mangya Zhenxian with one hand and prepared to flee. But how could Zhang Fan let them go? This was twenty million merit points!
Zhang Fan took out the Myriad Beast Cauldron and punched it. The palm-sized Myriad Beast Cauldron flew out, transforming into a vast space that enveloped King Qianling and Mangya Zhenxian!
Sharp knife-light appeared in Mangya Zhenxian's eyes. He wielded his two hands, holding his saber, and fiercely slashed, trying to break free from the Myriad Beast Cauldron. But he still underestimated this Myriad Beast Cauldron, which could be considered a semi-immortal king's sacred weapon.
A strike comparable to the full power of a Void Returning Great Sage shook the Myriad Beasts, causing them to roar and explode, but the space within remained stable. They could not escape.
"This is a Great Dao secret treasure!"
King Qianling and Mangya Zhenxian felt despair for the first time. Trapped by a Great Dao secret treasure, their strength was insufficient to escape.
"Come here!"
Zhang Fan gently beckoned with his palm. The Myriad Beast Cauldron shrunk back to palm-size and landed in Zhang Fan's hand. Through the cauldron's opening, King Qianling and Mangya Zhenxian, who were trapped inside, could still be seen.
"King Qianling and Mangya Zhenxian have been suppressed?"
"That is definitely a Great Dao secret treasure, possibly even an Immortal King's sacred weapon, otherwise, how could King Qianling and Mangya Zhenxian be so easily suppressed?"
The cultivators from both the Jiuyai Star Domain and the Zixiao Star Domain could not believe their eyes. Even though they saw it with their own eyes, it was like a dream.
The Twin Kings, who were invincible on the star river battlefield, had been suppressed.
"How does Shi Jue Zhenxian possess a Great Dao secret treasure?" In the distant void, Prince Wuyou and Zhenxian Jufeng also saw this scene and could not maintain their composure.
Their strength was already considerable, but they could only flee for their lives in front of King-level powerhouses like King Qianling and Mangya Zhenxian. They were beings they had to look up to.
Yet, such powerful beings were so easily suppressed. What's more, this person had had conflicts with them. This made Prince Wuyou and Zhenxian Jufeng feel a sense of dread, and at the same time, a sense of relief. Fortunately, they were allies, otherwise, with Zhang Fan's current strength, he could probably destroy them both with a flick of his hand.
"From now on, we should stay far away from Shi Jue Zhenxian. It's best not to think about us anymore," Zhenxian Jufeng said.
