"Ultimately, you are still too young. You should not underestimate any expert who can be crowned King. Even Fairy Zi Ling, facing the two of us, would only end up fleeing in disarray!" Mang Ya Zhen Xian said.
"Mang Ya, are you saying my Zi Xiao Star Domain has no one?"
A clear and cold voice echoed in the void. A peerless figure appeared above the star river. She wore a purple dress, her figure graceful, her aura ethereal, and her exquisite features as if carved by a master. Truly, she deserved the title of fairy.
"Fairy Zi Ling is here too?"
Regardless of whether they were cultivators from the Zi Xiao Star Domain or the Jiu Ya Star Domain, they were all immensely excited. Such King-level powerhouses were rarely seen, yet they had not expected three Kings to gather here because of Shi Jue Zhen Xian.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Shi Jue." Fairy Zi Ling came to Zhang Fan's side and greeted him politely. She had been exploring the Dark Forest when she suddenly heard of Shi Jue Zhen Xian's deeds, which greatly shocked her.
After all, on Qian Xing Island, even she would find it difficult to kill a nine-star Marquis with a defensive array. Yet, Shi Jue Zhen Xian had accomplished this, and had even consecutively slain over ten cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage from the Jiu Ya Star Domain. Such a record, even for someone as proud as her, commanded immense admiration.
Zhang Fan nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, Fairy, for coming to assist. However, I have recently made a breakthrough in my cultivation and am eager to test the strength of the twin Kings of the Jiu Ya Star Domain."
Fairy Zi Ling understood the implied meaning behind Zhang Fan's words. She couldn't help but glance at him. His eyes were calm and unperturbed, as if he were doing something entirely ordinary.
Fairy Zi Ling nodded and quietly stepped aside. She believed that even if Zhang Fan could not defeat them, he should have no problem protecting himself.
"You two can attack together. I've heard that King Qian Ling is a master of illusions, capable of trapping even Void Refinement stage cultivators 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 Qian Ling's voice echoed in Zhang Fan's ears. Immediately, a soul-confusing power enveloped him, and an illusory world descended into his mind.
Zhang Fan stood frozen, a smile on his face, as if his soul had fallen into an illusion.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound of drawing a saber echoed. A highly condensed saber energy sliced through the void, followed by a gleaming long saber.
"Be careful, Shi Jue Zhen Xian!" Fairy Zi Ling quickly warned him. But Mang Ya Zhen Xian's draw was too fast, like teleportation. The saber, barely out of its sheath, was already before Zhang Fan.
"This single strike is enough to shatter the Dao body and destroy the primordial spirit!" King Qian Ling remained where he stood, his expressionless face, and a sinister laugh reverberated in the void.
At this critical juncture, Zhang Fan raised his hand and lightly flicked, sending the saber flying. He then clenched his fist and violently punched forward, heavily striking Mang Ya Zhen Xian's chest.
"Myriad Dao Fist!"
Now that his Dao body had reached great completion and he had mastered myriad Daos, when Zhang Fan unleashed this technique again, all the Daos in heaven and earth resonated. Infinite power converged at the center of Zhang Fan's fist. Its strength was such that no one below the Void Refinement stage could resist it.
Even Mang Ya Zhen Xian, whose Dao body had also reached great completion, had his chest pierced by Zhang Fan's punch. The power of the Great Dao eroded his physical body, leaving his aura extremely weak.
"This..."
Fairy Zi Ling, who had been preparing to attack, froze in place. She replayed Zhang Fan's stunning punch in her mind, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Being crowned King in the Nascent Soul stage proved she was a being who had mastered the Great Dao. Her understanding far surpassed that of other Nascent Soul cultivators. However, Zhang Fan's punch still felt unfathomably profound to her, something she could not hope to achieve in this lifetime.
"How is this possible? My illusion had no effect on his primordial spirit at all?" King Qian Ling's eyes were filled with disbelief. He had clearly felt Zhang Fan's primordial spirit immersed in the illusory world.
"Your illusion is still too false. To me, it's like child's play," Zhang Fan said, shaking his head slightly.
Having cultivated the 'Candle Dragon's Eye,' he could see through all falsehoods. The illusionary techniques that King Qian Ling prided himself on were a joke in his eyes.
"Shall I show you my Candle Dragon's Eye?" Flames burned in Zhang Fan's eyes. As his gaze swept out, space itself distorted. King Qian Ling felt a powerful primordial spirit force engulf him. He seemed to see his great-grandmother. After several breaths, he finally broke free from the illusion, then stared at Zhang Fan with a look of terror.
"Quick, let's go! This Shi Jue Zhen Xian is too bizarre. We're no match for him!"
King Qian Ling, cupping the heavily injured Mang Ya Zhen Xian in one hand, prepared to flee. But how could Zhang Fan let them go? This was twenty million military merits!
Zhang Fan took out the Myriad Beast Cauldron and punched it. The palm-sized Myriad Beast Cauldron shot out, transforming into a world that enveloped King Qian Ling and Mang Ya Zhen Xian!
Saber light flickered in Mang Ya Zhen Xian's eyes. He held his saber with both hands and slashed with all his might, trying to blast open the Myriad Beast Cauldron. But he had underestimated this Myriad Beast Cauldron, which could be considered a semi-Immortal King sacred weapon.
His strike, comparable to the full power of a Void Refinement cultivator, shook the Myriad Beast Cauldron, causing it to roar. But the internal space remained stable; escape was impossible.
"This is a Great Dao secret treasure!"
King Qian Ling and Mang Ya Zhen Xian 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 hand. The Myriad Beast Cauldron shrank back to palm size and landed in his hand. Through the cauldron's opening, King Qian Ling and Mang Ya Zhen Xian, who were trapped within, could still be seen.
"King Qian Ling and Mang Ya Zhen Xian have been suppressed?"
"That is definitely a Great Dao secret treasure, perhaps even an Immortal King sacred weapon, otherwise how could King Qian Ling and Mang Ya Zhen Xian have been so easily suppressed?"
Cultivators from both the Jiu Ya Star Domain and the Zi Xiao Star Domain could not believe their eyes. Even witnessing it firsthand, it felt like a dream.
The twin Kings, who had been invincible on the star river battlefield, had been suppressed.
"How can this Shi Jue Zhen Xian possess a Great Dao secret treasure?" Prince Wu You and Zhen Xian Ju Feng, from a distance in the void, also witnessed this scene, and both struggled to maintain their composure.
Their own strength was considered quite formidable, yet in front of King-level powerhouses like King Qian Ling and Mang Ya Zhen Xian, they could only flee. They were beings they had to look up to.
But such powerful beings were now so easily suppressed. The crucial point was that this person had once had conflicts with the two of them. This made Prince Wu You and Zhen Xian Ju Feng feel a sense of dread, and also immense relief. Fortunately, they were allies. Otherwise, with Zhang Fan's current strength, he could probably destroy them both with a raised hand.
"In the future, we should keep our distance from this Shi Jue Zhen Xian. It's best not to think of us again," Zhen Xian Ju Feng said.
