"Ten Absolute Immortal Emperor, your strength is indeed formidable, you are qualified to witness the fusion divine ability that this Seat created during my ten thousand years of seclusion!" Qingyun Immortal Emperor suddenly put away his Qingyun Divine Spear and stared at Zhang Fan seriously.
"Fusion divine ability?" Hearing this, many Immortal Emperors present were all shocked. Even Xuanlong Immortal Emperor and Hunyuan Immortal Emperor had not expected that Qingyun Immortal Emperor had reached this point, and could already create fusion divine abilities.
For Immortal Emperor level figures, divine-grade divine abilities were no longer anything special. The four peak powerhouses who had reached the peak of the Heavenly Dao realm, each of them had at least several divine-grade divine abilities they had created. However, to be able to fuse divine-grade divine abilities was truly terrifying.
"This is interesting. I also have means that I haven't used yet. Let's see whose divine ability is stronger!" Zhang Fan was fearless. After reaching the Immortal Emperor realm, his Ten Absolute Heavenly God Record was considered great completion, and he had also learned the last divine ability.
"Oh?" Zhang Fan's reaction surprised Qingyun Immortal Emperor. He did not expect that even though the two were fighting so fiercely, Zhang Fan still held back. This made Qingyun Immortal Emperor's expression immediately solemn.
"Rise!"
Qingyun Immortal Emperor raised his hands. As his Dao law circulated, an ice-cold heart appeared on his left hand, and a scorching flame rose on his right hand. In this instant, the entire universe seemed to fall into a world of alternating ice and fire, bone-chillingly cold yet incomparably scorching hot. Even cultivators of slightly weaker strength, despite being far away, felt as if their physical bodies were about to ignite.
As Qingyun Immortal Emperor brought his hands together, the ice heart and flame fiercely collided. He grabbed the Qingyun Divine Spear and thrust it forward fiercely.
"Ice Fire Annihilation!"
With Qingyun Immortal Emperor's low roar, the power of the entire starry sky was integrated into the Qingyun Divine Spear. The Immortal Emperor True Artifact transformed into an ice dragon and a fire dragon, entwining each other, forming an incredibly terrifying force of annihilation. Space was frozen, time was suspended, and the entire world seemed to be left with only Qingyun Immortal Emperor's majestic figure.
As Qingyun Immortal Emperor performed his divine ability, the chaotic diagrams within Zhang Fan's body were lit up one by one, crazily absorbing the power of the universe within him, and then condensed a figure that was one light-year tall above Zhang Fan's head.
That figure was the same as Zhang Fan's appearance, but the gaze that looked down on all beings and disregarded everything made people unable to help but doubt, was this the true face of the Ten Absolute Immortal Emperor?
"Heavenly God Descends!"
When the ultimate divine ability contained within the Ten Absolute Heavenly God Record was unleashed, Zhang Fan himself couldn't help but have an illusion, as if the boundless universe before him was just a pond, easily destroyed at will.
Of course, this was merely an illusion born from suddenly possessing incomparably majestic power. The figure resembling a heavenly god grabbed the Seven Star Pagoda, which had transformed into its original form, and smashed it down fiercely.
The Seven Star Pagoda, which was several light-years long, was now like a pillar of world destruction. It collided with the Qingyun Divine Spear, and the entire void fell into deathly silence. After this brief silence, an unstoppable force erupted. Qingyun Immortal Emperor finally could not hold on, his divine body cracked, and he was sent flying out at a speed exceeding light, disappearing into the deep space of the universe.
Zhang Fan did not continue to pursue. The current move, Heavenly God Descends, was the strongest means he could use. However, it only severely injured Qingyun Immortal Emperor, failing to kill him. Even if he continued to fight, it would likely be difficult to kill him.
"Disperse!"
The spatial blockade formed by the combined efforts of the Immortal Emperors was also shattered by this strike. Seeing the terrifying aftershock ripple outwards towards the surrounding starry sky, and countless stars about to fall, Zhang Fan softly uttered a word, and the entire starry sky returned to peace once more.
After a brief silence came earth-shattering cheers. The cultivators of Cloud Mist City fell into a frenzy. They had not expected that even Qingyun Immortal Emperor was no match for Zhang Fan. Did that not mean that in this Eastern Starry Sky, Zhang Fan was already an invincible existence?
An Immortal Emperor present also had a strange look in his eyes. Apart from the four peak Heavenly Dao realm powerhouses, another being capable of killing an Immortal Emperor had appeared in the East.
Hunyuan Immortal Emperor and Xuanlong Immortal Emperor exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with intense fighting spirit. For peak powerhouses like them, the appearance of a peer was a joyous occasion.
Among those present, the most terrified was naturally Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor. Seeing Zhang Fan's gaze cast over, Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor's heart couldn't help but tremble. He knew very well at this moment that if Zhang Fan wanted to kill him, he would have no chance of survival.
"Xuan Tian, to be so pathetic as an Immortal Emperor is truly disgraceful." Zhang Fan did not take Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor seriously at all and continued, "Go back and tell Qingyun Immortal Emperor that I can give him a chance. In a few hundred years, the Heavenly Mandate will descend. If he is not convinced, he can fight when the Heavenly Mandate descends."
Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor remained silent and left quietly. Even Qingyun Immortal Emperor had been defeated by Zhang Fan, what else could he say?
"Congratulations, Ten Absolute Fellow Daoist. Let's stop here for today. I hope to have the chance to spar with you another day." Hunyuan Immortal Emperor cupped his hands to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan nodded. For Hunyuan Immortal Emperor or Xuanlong Immortal Emperor, fighting and sparring with peers at the same level could greatly help in the improvement of their Dao law. However, for Zhang Fan, it held no meaning anymore.
The battle ended, and many Immortal Emperor powerhouses came to congratulate him. After all, he was a being comparable to the four peak Heavenly Dao realm powerhouses. Even though they were also at the Heavenly Dao realm, they had to lower their stance.
As everyone departed, this expanse of starry sky fell into silence once more, but the entire Central Continent was once again boiling. A large number of cultivators flooded into the clouds and mist, and even if they could not see Zhang Fan, they still wished to experience the current glory of Cloud Mist City.
Xuan Tian Sect, within Qingyun Imperial Palace.
Qingyun Immortal Emperor's cracked divine body had completely recovered. His eyes were as deep as a cold pool, and he had not lost his fighting spirit due to a temporary defeat. Instead, he had gained profound insights from that battle, and had a greater grasp of the completion of his own Dao law.
"Powerhouses are emerging one after another, the brilliant era has arrived," Qingyun Immortal Emperor said softly.
Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor nodded and said, "In recent years, the other three star regions have also been restless. I'm afraid, as the Ten Absolute Immortal Emperor said, the Heavenly Mandate of this era is about to descend. Are we going to contend for it?"
"Brilliant era, since I have reached the peak of the Heavenly Dao realm, I must contend. However, I originally thought my strength was sufficient, but the battle with the Ten Absolute Immortal Emperor made me realize that if my Dao law cannot be perfected, there will be no chance in this life."
"From today onwards, I will enter closed-door cultivation until the Heavenly Mandate shines in the sky."
As the great doors of Qingyun Imperial Palace slowly closed, Xuan Tian Immortal Emperor also issued an order: even if the sect was in mortal danger, Qingyun Immortal Emperor must not be disturbed.
