"Such a powerful physical body." Zhang Fan was not surprised but delighted at the sight. If such a powerful physical body could be suppressed, a top-grade Immortal Grade Blood Spirit Pill could be refined.
Due to the lack of cultivation resources, Zhang Fan's physical body cultivation had fallen far behind his Qi cultivation. With the support of this Fiery Martial True Immortal, his Divine Body Art should be able to reach a level comparable to the Nascent Soul stage in a short period.
The Fiery Martial True Immortal, though unarmed, did not fear the slashing of immortal treasures. He completely ignored Zhang Fan's attacks and closed in to engage in close combat with Zhang Fan.
But how could Zhang Fan not know his intentions? Although his Divine Body had achieved minor success, there was still a significant gap compared to the Fiery Martial True Immortal. He naturally would not let him get close.
Relying on his profound sword techniques and supreme speed, Zhang Fan maintained a distance of three zhang, making the Fiery Martial True Immortal feel somewhat stifled.
Although Zhang Fan's attacks were not damaging, being constantly on the defensive was still somewhat uncomfortable.
"Is this the peerless genius who cultivated the rules of the Great Dao to perfection at the Nascent Soul stage? In my eyes, it's nothing special." The Fiery Martial True Immortal taunted.
"Just entering the Nascent Soul stage, I need a moving target to spar with. Please oblige me, Fiery Martial True Immortal." Zhang Fan said calmly, completely unfazed by the Fiery Martial True Immortal's mockery.
"Moving target?" The Fiery Martial True Immortal, who was already short-tempered, could not tolerate such words.
"Domain of Great Dao!"
"Extinguishing Extreme Profound Body Domain!"
After some probing, the Fiery Martial True Immortal no longer held back, releasing his dual domains simultaneously and engulfing Zhang Fan.
Feeling the restraint of the dual domains, Zhang Fan was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that a mere Imperial Body Art could allow the Fiery Martial True Immortal to cultivate a physical domain.
It should be noted that most Saint Body Arts only naturally produced a physical domain when the Saint Body reached great completion.
This was a phenomenon that would inevitably occur when the physical body was cultivated to a certain extent, much like how a planet's mass, when reaching a certain point, would evolve into a black hole.
Zhang Fan's Divine Body Art, however, was different. Each Divine Body Art represented the ultimate path of physical cultivation, which was why Zhang Fan possessed a physical domain even before his Divine Body achieved minor success.
The fact that the Fiery Martial True Immortal could cultivate a physical domain with just an Imperial Body Art demonstrated the profound depth of his research into this body-refining technique.
"You do have some skill. However, if we are to discuss the power of domains, I am not afraid of you." The perfect Thunder Sword Dao rules within Zhang Fan's body surged forth, enveloping the entire world. Simultaneously, divine light flickered on his Divine Body, and an invisible force of disintegration emanated, perfectly merging with the Domain of Great Dao.
A hint of shock finally appeared on the Fiery Martial True Immortal's withered face. He could clearly feel his domain's coverage being rapidly compressed, driven back by a more powerful domain force, and eventually completely dissipated.
"How can this be?" The Fiery Martial True Immortal could not believe it. Although his Qi cultivation was only at the early Nascent Soul stage, his Fist Dao rules had long been perfected. Combined with the Extinguishing Extreme Profound Body Domain, his domain power was sufficient to contend with cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, which was his most prideful technique.
Yet, his strongest domain technique was now being suppressed by a cultivator who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. How could he not be alarmed?
Little did he know that although Zhang Fan was only in the early Nascent Soul stage, his Domain of Great Dao was a fusion of Sword Dao and Thunder Dao rules.
The fusion of Dao rules was not as simple as one plus one equaling two. Its power was several times greater than a single Domain of Great Dao, and with the addition of the disintegration domain, even the domains of cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage would be suppressed.
Therefore, it was only natural for the Fiery Martial True Immortal's domain to be suppressed.
"The Fiery Martial Senior Brother's dual domains are actually no match for Zhang Fan's Domain of Great Dao?" Qin Yun, tens of thousands of miles away, gazed at the battlefield with astonishment. At the same time, he realized that Zhang Fan still had unrevealed means.
"However, with Senior Brother Fiery Martial's physical body, even if Zhang Fan were to attack with all his might, he would not be able to inflict any significant harm. Based on this alone, he is in an invincible position."
Seeing that Zhang Fan's indiscriminate attacks could not harm the Fiery Martial True Immortal in the slightest, Qin Yun felt somewhat relieved. Just as the Fiery Martial True Immortal had said, no matter what means Zhang Fan possessed, he could still protect himself.
"Rise!" The Fiery Martial True Immortal felt immense pressure. Endless sword light, imbued with destructive power, constantly assaulted him, making him very displeased. As he unleashed his divine abilities, countless dark lights appeared on his body, coalescing into a set of black armor.
Black radiance flickered around the black armor, completely blocking the domain power beyond three zhang.
"Unleash any other means you have. If you cannot stop me, then I will first break this mountain protection formation and destroy the Myriad Mountains Sect!" The Fiery Martial True Immortal, believing he had found Zhang Fan's weakness, prepared to ignore Zhang Fan and destroy the Myriad Mountains Sect first.
"Alas, I wanted to play with you a bit longer. Since you don't want to play anymore, let's end this." Zhang Fan took out the Myriad Beasts Cauldron and held it in his palm, staring at the Fiery Martial True Immortal.
"You are finally willing to use it." Looking at the black cauldron in Zhang Fan's hand, the Fiery Martial True Immortal's deep eyes suddenly blazed with fervor. This was a supreme mystic treasure that could drive even powerful cultivators at the Soul Transformation stage to madness.
"I heard you broke through to the Soul Transformation stage a few months ago. You probably haven't even figured out how to control this supreme mystic treasure, which is a complete waste."
Zhang Fan chuckled and asked, "This cauldron is called the Myriad Beasts Cauldron. Do you know why?"
"Myriad Beasts Cauldron? The name is quite imposing, and it suits me well." The Fiery Martial True Immortal nodded and asked, "What is the meaning behind this name?"
Zhang Fan smiled and did not answer. Instead, he struck the cauldron's body, and the Myriad Beasts Cauldron flew into the sky, transforming into a colossal cauldron tens of kilometers in diameter, obscuring the sun and sky.
On the cauldron's body, various exotic beasts were sculpted with lifelike detail, and powerful soul forces emanated from within, putting the Fiery Martial True Immortal under immense pressure.
"Myriad Beasts Formation, devour!" As Zhang Fan's hand seals changed, the sculpted exotic beasts seemed to come alive. Thousands of illusory figures of exotic beasts surged out from the cauldron's body, forming a great beast formation that enveloped the Fiery Martial True Immortal.
"They are actually real exotic beasts." The Fiery Martial True Immortal felt a trace of soul force contained within each illusory beast. He immediately understood why this cauldron was called the Myriad Beasts Cauldron.
This was a supreme mystic treasure refined with the soul of tens of thousands of exotic beasts, containing the extremely rare Myriad Beasts Dao.
Although Zhang Fan could only exert a portion of the Myriad Beasts Cauldron's power, it was more than enough to suppress a cultivator at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
After all, this was no ordinary supreme mystic treasure, but an ultimate mystic treasure that could be called a quasi-Immortal King Holy Weapon.
