"Fellow Daoist Shi Jue's profound Dao law, being able to battle an Immortal Emperor in the Sovereign realm, truly makes us envious. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Shi Jue can let us have a look at your 'Dao of Extreme Points'? Even if we cannot cultivate it from the beginning, at least it would broaden our horizons," said Immortal Emperor Tian Jian with a gentle smile, but a determined will shone in his eyes as he fixed his gaze on Zhang Fan.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of many Immortal Emperors became subtle, and they all turned their attention to Zhang Fan, waiting to see how he would respond.
A faint arc appeared on the corner of Zhang Fan's lips, and he sneered, "Does Immortal Emperor Tian Jian not know that the Dao cannot be personally transmitted? If you are willing to be my attendant, I might let you comprehend a bit."
For an Immortal Venerable to ask an Immortal Emperor to be his attendant was probably something only Zhang Fan in the entire Eastern Starry Sky would dare to say. Immortal Emperor Tian Jian's expression shifted slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Immortal Emperor Xuan Tian.
"Fellow Daoist Shi Jue, we are all cultivators from the Eastern Starry Sky. We won't take advantage of you for nothing. If you are willing, the Dao that I, Xuan Tian, cultivate can also be freely comprehended by you."
"Xuan Tian, you broke through to the Great Dao realm nearly a million years ago, and you've only reached the middle stage of the Great Dao realm so far. You're not even as good as the junior Immortal Emperor Qing Yun of your sect. The Dao you cultivate is like chicken ribs to me. Do you dare to show your face here?" Zhang Fan responded unceremoniously.
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of many Immortal Emperors turned extremely colorful. Some admired Zhang Fan's courage, while others secretly laughed at Immortal Emperor Xuan Tian's shamelessness.
"Presumptuous!" Even with Immortal Emperor Xuan Tian's thick skin, his face turned extremely ugly when Zhang Fan publicly mocked him in front of so many Immortal Emperors. He was merely in the Sovereign realm, yet he dared to humiliate an Immortal Emperor in public.
Thinking of this, Immortal Emperor Xuan Tian scanned the faces of the other Immortal Emperors and said, "We, the Immortal Emperors of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, have gathered here merely to witness your abilities. If Fellow Daoist Shi Jue is so unreasonable, then do not blame us for being heartless."
"What?" Zhang Fan's expression remained unchanged, with a hint of teasing in his tone, "Is Immortal Emperor Xuan Tian's face burning with shame, and he wants to act and snatch it away?"
"So what if I snatch it? A mere Sovereign realm cultivator, do you really think you can trade a single move with Immortal Emperor Bai Chan and then not fear Immortal Emperors?" Immortal Emperor Xuan Tian held a golden long spear and suddenly attacked.
Immortal Emperor Xuan Tian achieved his imperial title through the "Dao of Xuan Tian," which integrated the three Great Daos of lightning, spear, and flame, named after his own Dao title. He was extremely skilled in offense.
The spear shadow pierced through the air, carrying the power of lightning and flame, transforming into a thunder-fire behemoth that pressed down on Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan held a blood-colored divine sword and executed the Extreme Points Sword Technique. All techniques condensed into a single point, easily scattering the thunder-fire behemoth and clashing with the golden long spear.
Waves of energy surged outwards in all directions, affecting the entire Central Continent. The people in Cloud Mist City watched this scene with shock. This was the true battle of Immortal Emperors.
The two engaged in close combat. In an instant, the void was filled with countless sword qi and spear shadows. Although Immortal Emperor Xuan Tian's Dao of Xuan Tian was extremely skilled in offense and possessed a great advantage in strength, Zhang Fan's Dao was more perfect, capable of both offense and defense, and blending hardness with softness. Furthermore, his application of the Daos of time and space was no less than Immortal Emperor Xuan Tian's. For a time, the two fought to a stalemate.
"Xuan Tian's Dao of Thunder and Fire has been perfectly integrated with his spear Dao, yet it was broken by Immortal Venerable Shi Jue's single move. This Dao of Extreme Points is indeed extraordinary," said Immortal Venerable Bai Chan softly.
"Although Immortal Venerable Shi Jue is not an Immortal Emperor, he is superior to one. Xuan Tian's advantage lies only in his mastery of the Heavenly Dao. Perhaps for other Sovereign realm cultivators, he could easily suppress them. However, Immortal Venerable Shi Jue's Dao law is complete, and he can already resist the suppression of the Heavenly Dao. Xuan Tian probably won't win."
In just a few breaths of exchange, both had unleashed their Dao laws, and time and space became chaotic. Immortal Emperor Xuan Tian, unable to break through with his long assault, gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"So fierce! He's even better than an Immortal Emperor! Little brother-in-law, why don't you follow me? I'll introduce you to my master," said Blood Demon Dragon with admiration, looking at Hei Yan beside him.
Hei Yan remained silent, his eyes fixed on the sky above. He had initially thought Zhang Fan was just an ordinary Sovereign realm cultivator, but the continuous shocks he had experienced, and now even an Immortal Emperor couldn't defeat him, it was simply mythical.
Zhang Fan was still only an Immortal Venerable who had undergone tribulation. If he were to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, who in the Eastern Starry Sky would be his opponent?
Immortal Emperor Tian Jian frowned slightly. He stepped forward, intending to intervene, but was blocked by Immortal Emperor Xie Fo. "Immortal Emperor Tian Jian seems a bit eager for a fight. How about Xie Fo takes a few moves with you?"
"To challenge me so soon after entering the Immortal Emperor realm, aren't you being too arrogant, Fellow Daoist Xie Fo?" Immortal Emperor Tian Jian stared at Immortal Emperor Xie Fo and took out a great sword exuding imperial might.
"Compared to Master, Xie Fo is still far behind. However, I still have some confidence fighting against Immortal Emperor Tian Jian," Immortal Emperor Xie Fo said with a faint smile.
Too arrogant.
However, speaking of which, this pair of master and disciple were no simple characters. Zhang Fan had perfectly integrated eleven Great Daos of heaven and earth, and his Dao law was complete, allowing him to be free from the suppression of the Heavenly Dao.
As for the Myriad Buddha Dao cultivated by Immortal Emperor Xie Fo, it was not simple. It was the strongest of the three Buddhist Daos. Although Immortal Emperor Tian Jian spoke contemptuously, he inwardly regarded Immortal Emperor Xie Fo as an opponent of equal standing.
Even so, facing Xie Fo's provocation, Immortal Emperor Tian Jian could not retreat even an inch. A battle between Immortal Emperors erupted once again.
"Attack together! He can't hold on!" Seeing that Immortal Emperor Tian Jian was blocked, and he was gradually falling into a disadvantage under the pervasive offensive of that Shi Jue Immortal Venerable, Immortal Emperor Xuan Tian exclaimed in surprise and anger, shouting to the other eight.
"Xuan Tian, we achieved the Immortal Emperor position through our physical bodies and walk the path of breaking laws with strength. The Dao law of Shi Jue Immortal Venerable has no effect on us, so don't drag us down," the Old Dragon King of Xuan Long Hall stood aside watching, with no intention of making a move.
The two Immortal Emperors from Hundred Beasts Sect and Heavenly Demon Gate were also the same. Once they acted, they would completely offend two Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses. For them, it was of no benefit. How could they be used by Immortal Emperor Xuan Tian?
The one from Dao Tian Immortal Palace who came this time was Immortal Emperor Bu Zhan. During the previous competition for the Sky Crystal Holy Blood Fruit, Zhang Fan had shown goodwill to their Dao Tian Immortal Palace. He knew this person was a friend, not an enemy, and naturally would not attack. Instead, he reminded, "Shi Jue Immortal Venerable is still only in the Sovereign realm, yet he possesses strength comparable to the middle stage of the Great Dao realm. If he were to enter the Great Dao realm, would you regret your actions today, Xuan Tian?"
Upon hearing Immortal Emperor Bu Zhan's words, the Immortal Emperors from Sun God Palace and Five Elements Immortal Sect, who had some thoughts, were also awakened. It was extremely difficult to kill an Immortal Emperor, let alone here in Cloud Mist City. Shi Jue Immortal Venerable had not even utilized the advantage of the Cloud Mist City's formations. Even if they intervened, they would not have the confidence to capture Shi Jue Immortal Venerable.
With this single sentence, Immortal Emperor Xuan Tian was thrown into an extremely awkward predicament.
