"Junior Brother Qin Yun did not deceive me." A trace of solemnity flickered in the eyes of True Immortal Zi Yue. He truly hadn't expected that Zhang Fan could unleash a powerful Grand Dao Secret Treasure to such an extent.
"Does this Myriad Beasts Cauldron contain the legendary Myriad Beasts Dao?" True Immortal Zi Yue, though surrounded by the Myriad Beasts Battle Formation, was not flustered and instead asked.
Zhang Fan glanced at True Immortal Zi Yue with some surprise, not expecting him to know about the Myriad Beasts Dao.
After all, the Great Dao of the universe encompassed myriad things. There were many rare Daos that some Nascent Soul stage cultivators might not have heard of in their entire lives. The Myriad Beasts Dao contained within the Myriad Beasts Cauldron was one such extremely rare and unique Dao.
"You have some insight to know of the Myriad Beasts Dao. You've earned a bit more of my regard," Zhang Fan said.
"The Myriad Beasts Dao is also a Beast Transformation Dao. When cultivated to the extreme, one can even change their body structure at will, transforming into any kind of exotic beast and possessing infinite divine abilities. A Dao this rare and unique, and you can comprehend it to such a degree. You are indeed a peerless figure who could cultivate the rules of the Dao to perfection even at the Nascent Soul stage," True Immortal Zi Yue shook his head in admiration, and then added, "However, a battle formation of this level cannot trap me."
True Immortal Zi Yue clenched his fist and struck out fiercely in the void. The punch was like a mountain, with the complete rules of the fist Dao surging into it. Carrying the immense power of heaven and earth, it blasted towards the Myriad Beasts Battle Formation.
Cultivating to the peak of the Spirit Refining realm meant that one's immortal soul and physical body were almost completely fused. There was no need to deliberately mobilize the power of the rules of the Dao. Every movement carried infinite might.
Upon receiving this punch, the Myriad Beasts Battle Formation trembled violently, with the phantom images of thousands of exotic beasts seeming on the verge of collapse.
Seeing this, True Immortal Han Fei and Qin Yun became excited, secretly marveling at the terrifying power of a peak Spirit Refining realm expert, that even such a formidable battle formation could not trap him.
"Go!"
Zhang Fan's eyes narrowed. Under his control, the phantom images of thousands of exotic beasts roared in unison. Each beast was a overlord in its own right. Although refined and integrated into the Myriad Beasts Cauldron, their aura remained, creating a spectacular scene.
Their roars carried a powerful soul attack, sweeping across the heavens and earth towards True Immortal Zi Yue. At the same time, each exotic beast in the battle formation unleashed its unique innate divine ability. Although it was merely a wisp of a divine soul, when the power of thousands of divine abilities converged, it was enough to make Qin Yun's Dao heart collapse, leaving him unable to muster the will to resist.
"Do not resist!"
At the critical moment, True Immortal Zi Yue brought True Immortal Han Fei and Qin Yun into his personal immortal mansion. He knew that even if they were not the targets of the attack, the residual waves of this impact would be enough to severely injure them instantly.
"Heavenly Absolute Zi Yue Fist, shatter for me!"
True Immortal Zi Yue accumulated immense power within his fists. Relying on his physical strength, he clashed with the converged divine ability power. A deafening roar erupted in the void, like the collapse of the heavens.
True Immortal Zi Yue was sent reeling back several miles before he stopped. His blood churned within him, but his eyes were filled with exhilaration. He looked at Zhang Fan in the void and said, "The Myriad Beasts Dao is indeed powerful, but you are not capable. You cannot harm me."
"My power is inexhaustible, but I wonder how long you can sustain this battle formation?"
"If this is your limit, then today will be your demise!"
...
"The peak Spirit Refining realm experts are indeed terrifying. They can withstand a Grand Dao Secret Treasure with their physical bodies, and even fellow Daoist Zhang Fan cannot do anything to him," True Immortal Dong Ji exclaimed, a flicker of worry in his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Dong Ji, there is no need to worry. Just watch and see," True Immortal Nan Zun said with a smile.
At this moment, the Myriad Beasts Battle Formation had only activated the phantom images of a thousand exotic beasts, merely one-tenth of the Myriad Beasts Cauldron's power. True Immortal Nan Zun did not believe that his master's talent would only comprehend one-tenth of it.
As True Immortal Nan Zun had said, although Zhang Fan had not cultivated the Myriad Beasts Dao in his previous life, he had some understanding of this unique Dao. Having possessed the Myriad Beasts Cauldron for so long, his comprehension of it had reached a minor accomplishment. It was simply that he was not exerting his full power at the moment.
Just as True Immortal Zi Yue was preparing to attack again, he saw Zhang Fan's hand seals change. The Myriad Beasts Cauldron, suspended above his head, vibrated violently, and streams of exotic beast phantom images rushed out from it, merging into the Myriad Beasts Battle Formation.
Sensing the increasingly powerful aura of the Myriad Beasts Battle Formation, True Immortal Zi Yue's expression changed. He saw Zhang Fan looking at him with a smile and saying, "Since you want to see my limit so badly, what harm is there in letting you experience it before you die?"
Three thousand exotic beast phantom images stood tall in the void. They varied in size, some reaching tens of kilometers, blotting out the sun, while others were no bigger than a palm, delicate and exquisite. But without exception, each phantom image emanated a powerful aura.
Perhaps a single one was not much, but when their numbers reached three thousand and they formed a perfect battle formation, even True Immortal Zi Yue felt despair at this moment.
"This is the Myriad Beasts Dao! How could he, a nascent Spirit Refining realm cultivator, comprehend this Dao to such a degree?" True Immortal Zi Yue found it unbelievable. The space at this moment felt as solid as molten iron, but he was unwilling. He mobilized all his magical power, merging the power of rules with his physical body into his fist and struck out fiercely, unleashing an extremely powerful blow.
The void, which was being suppressed and stabilized by the Myriad Beasts Battle Formation, trembled faintly under this power. However, in the end, he was ultimately unable to tear through the void. The powerful force impacted the Myriad Beasts Battle Formation, yet it could not be shaken in the slightest.
"True Immortal Zi Yue, come in!"
Zhang Fan manipulated the Myriad Beasts Cauldron, enveloping True Immortal Zi Yue. Unable to tear through the void or break open the battle formation, True Immortal Zi Yue could only watch helplessly as the Myriad Beasts Cauldron descended, crushing him into it with no power to resist.
"Hoo!"
Seeing this, True Immortal Dong Ji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although Zhang Fan had said before the battle that no one below the Soul Transformation stage could break the Myriad Beasts Battle Formation, he still felt some concern.
After all, True Immortal Zi Yue was someone who had cultivated both his Qi and body to the peak of the Spirit Refining realm. Even some newly advanced Soul Transformation stage experts might not have absolute confidence in suppressing him, yet Zhang Fan had actually done it.
After this battle, the Wuyai Dynasty had lost a total of five Soul Transformation stage cultivators. While Qin Yun and True Immortal Yu Jian might not be considered significant, the death of True Immortal Zi Yue would undoubtedly cause a considerable stir within the Wuyai Dynasty.
Zhang Fan put away the Myriad Beasts Cauldron and returned to the Wanshan Sect, holding it in one hand.
"Fellow Daoist Dong Ji, it is time for me to leave," Zhang Fan said.
True Immortal Dong Ji nodded. Although his time with Zhang Fan was short, he greatly admired him. He thought that if he had no ties to the Wanshan Sect, he would probably want to venture out with Zhang Fan.
"All good things must come to an end. It is my honor as Dong Ji to have met all of you," True Immortal Dong Ji said sincerely.
"I believe we will meet again in the future."
Zhang Fan waved his hand, tearing open a spatial rift, and entered it with Nan Zun and Liu Mu, disappearing from the Wanshan Continent.
True Immortal Dong Ji gazed into the void, and after a long sigh, he turned and left.
