"Didn't they say that the Ten Absolute True Immortal was only at the level of a five-star general? Why does it feel like the Nine-Eyed True Immortal had no power to resist in his hands? It looks like he won't survive."
A team watching from the side nearby looked at that figure with astonishment. To be able to heavily injure a five-star general to the brink of death single-handedly was something even their captain could not achieve.
"This Ten Absolute True Immortal is not simple. We don't need our help at all. It seems we've made a wasted trip." The enchanting woman, having a higher cultivation level, could see more clearly, her eyes filled with a strange divine light.
"To be able to unleash sword techniques imbued with the true meaning of the Great Dao, despite only being at the mid-stage of the Spirit Refining realm, is truly incredible."
In the battles for treasures on the star battlefield, if other teams helped, they could also earn some military merits. However, this was only if the other party needed assistance. The battle unfolding before them was one-sided. Even if other teams joined, they could not prevent the Nine-Eyed True Immortal from marching towards death.
Under Zhang Fan's fierce assault, even though the Nine-Eyed True Immortal possessed a tenacious life force, his primordial spirit could not withstand the might of the true meaning of the Great Dao. As his undying primordial spirit was continuously ground down, the Nine-Eyed True Immortal ultimately died in despair.
Zhang Fan collected the possessions left behind by the Nine-Eyed True Immortal and his massive body into his Star Elephant space, and then turned his gaze towards another battlefield.
Another team from the Jiuyai Starfield was locked in a fierce battle with the team led by Pu Ji True Immortal. Although they could suppress them, they couldn't inflict any damage. They could only watch helplessly as the Nine-Eyed True Immortal was slain.
"Pu Ji, not long after your team was wiped out, you've managed to latch onto this powerful figure. No wonder you dare to enter this star battlefield." The white-robed young man's expression was handsome and cold, his voice chilling.
"Xu Lei, today our Zixiao Starfield has two teams gathered, and more importantly, the Ten Absolute True Immortal is here. Do you still dare to linger here?" The enchanting woman flew over, landing beside Pu Ji True Immortal, and stared at the white-robed young man with a smile.
"So what? Are you going to treat me, Xu Lei, like that idiot Jiutong, giving you the chance to defeat us one by one?" Xu Lei True Immortal sneered, unfazed.
However, he was contemplating who exactly this Ten Absolute True Immortal was, and why he had never heard of such a person before.
*Swish!*
Zhang Fan made his move.
Sword light flowed like water, sketching an invisible ripple in the void, attacking Xu Lei True Immortal. The ripples layered one after another, accumulating power, causing Xu Lei True Immortal's expression to change slightly. For a moment, the light of the great sword in his hand intensified, gathering the strength of his entire team to fiercely slash out a single sword strike.
However, the power of the true meaning of the Great Dao was not easily resisted. Even though Xu Lei True Immortal gathered the strength of his entire team, he was still shaken and sent flying backward. However, after this force was blocked by him and transformed through the battle formation, it was no longer able to inflict serious injuries on him.
Xu Lei True Immortal narrowed his eyes, staring at Zhang Fan, a hint of shock flashing in his gaze. To be able to suppress their entire team with his own strength, it was no wonder Jiutong True Immortal couldn't resist.
"With such strength, you still venture into this Huoxing World to compete with us for treasures. Isn't that being too much of a bully?"
Zhang Fan's posture was upright, his robes fluttering in the wind, his steps leisurely. He walked to Pu Ji True Immortal's side, a light smile on his face, and said, "My cultivation is only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Refining realm. Why can't I come to this Huoxing World?"
Xu Lei True Immortal was rendered speechless. This Ten Absolute True Immortal had comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao, but his cultivation realm was indeed only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Refining realm. If a Nascent Soul stage expert were to come to this Huoxing World and fight with a group of Spirit Refining stage cultivators, it would violate the unwritten rules of the star battlefield and would attract the targeting of many Nascent Soul stage experts from the opposing side.
But Zhang Fan was only at the Spirit Refining stage.
"You are not the only one who can comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao at the Spirit Refining stage. Someone from our Jiuyai Starfield will deal with you!" Xu Lei True Immortal left these words behind and departed without looking back.
Although Xu Lei True Immortal was confident in his ability to survive, he did not want to stay and be beaten, so he had to leave in a dejected manner.
Zhang Fan watched his departing back and did not pursue. Every cultivator who could receive a six-star general rating had reached the peak of the Spirit Refining realm in all aspects. Even with Zhang Fan's mastery of the true meaning of the Great Dao, it would be difficult to keep him.
Furthermore, Xu Lei True Immortal was not alone but had a team. With such strength, they possessed the ability to protect themselves even against Nascent Soul stage experts.
"My mana is still a bit weak. If I could break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I could even kill six-star generals," Zhang Fan mused inwardly.
His Dao rules had fused the rules of swordsmanship and lightning. The mana cultivated was several times more profound than that of cultivators at the same level, but compared to Nascent Soul stage cultivators, there was still a gap.
"The Ten Absolute True Immortal is even more formidable than rumored. I didn't expect even that Jiutong to fall into your hands. I fear your reputation will soon spread across the star battlefield." The enchanting woman turned her gaze to Zhang Fan, her voice soft, her smile alluring.
Zhang Fan turned to look at the enchanting woman clad in a sheer robe. Her graceful figure was not concealed in the slightest, her slender waist exposed, exuding boundless charm.
"I have long heard of the name Sword Rain True Immortal. Seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation," Zhang Fan said with a chuckle.
"Master, we killed so many Nascent Soul stage cultivators this time. We should be able to get quite a bit of military merit, right?" Even though the Sword Rain True Immortal was full of allure, she held no attraction for the Blood Demon Flood Dragon. He was more concerned about the spoils of this battle.
Zhang Fan nodded and waved his hand, bringing out the treasures obtained from this battle, including the massive body of the Nine-Eyed True Immortal, which filled the void.
"In this battle, we killed a five-star general, three three-star warriors, and four two-star warriors, along with over twenty immortal treasures and other various items..."
The Sword Rain True Immortal and her teammates behind her heard Zhang Fan's words and looked at the floating treasures in the void, their eyes filled with envy. The Ten Absolute True Immortal, in his first foray into the star battlefield, had gained more than many cultivators accumulated over a hundred years.
According to the rules of the War Base, killing a two-star warrior could earn twenty thousand military merits, while killing a five-star general could earn fifty thousand military merits. The military merits from the enemy cultivators killed in this battle alone would amount to two hundred and thirty thousand.
"Everyone put in considerable effort in this battle. I will exercise my captain's authority to distribute the spoils of this battle."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Zhang Fan, their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement. Even Pu Ji True Immortal, who had long been accustomed to the star battlefield, was curious. Faced with such a massive amount of military merit, how would this captain divide it?
"The Pang brothers, Nan Zun, and the Blood Demon Flood Dragon will each receive one-tenth. Pu Ji True Immortal will receive two-tenths. The remaining four-tenths will be mine."
As soon as Zhang Fan finished speaking, the Sword Rain True Immortal couldn't help but stare at Zhang Fan with surprise. Pu Ji True Immortal felt the same. Having fought side-by-side, he naturally knew very well that in this battle, Zhang Fan was almost solely responsible for killing the Nine-Eyed True Immortal's squad and leaving only one Spirit Refining stage cultivator to escape. If the military merits were distributed according to normal practice, Zhang Fan alone would have claimed at least seven-tenths. However, the final distribution resulted in this outcome, which filled Pu Ji True Immortal with respect.
