Ji Ning's Fury
As time passed, the Wine Saint tried his best to find a way to break the Myriad Shadow Avatar technique, but unfortunately, he had not figured out a way to break it before, and now, in the midst of the fierce battle, he was even more helpless.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
Zhou Zheng made his move time and time again; nine out of ten times he managed to injure the Wine Saint. Although he hadn't yet inflicted any serious injuries on the Wine Saint, the accumulated minor injuries forced the Wine Saint to take pills to replenish his divine Divine Power.
"Wine Saint, without using the Universe Treasure, you have already lost!"
Zhou Zheng's various Avatar spoke at the same time, their voices echoing around the Wine Saint. The Wine Saint remained silent, still observing and pondering, trying to find a way to counter Zhou Zheng's move.
At the same time—
Not far from where the two were fighting, Ji Ning and the Sect Master Jiu Chen stood side by side, observing the battle between Zhou Zheng and the Wine Saint.
"Dao Lord Cheng Tian has completely suppressed the Wine Saint. If this continues, the Wine Saint will be defeated sooner or later!"
The Sect Master Jiu Chen was somewhat astonished. Before obtaining the Universe Treasure, the Wine Saint was already the peak Dao Lord. He had never watched Zhou Zheng's battle before, so he naturally did not expect that without the Universe Treasure, Zhou Zheng would actually be in control and the Wine Saint would be firmly suppressed.
"My master's Dao is very powerful!"
Ji Ning smiled. He wasn't surprised. Although the Wine Saint was strong, he estimated that he could only fight his master to a draw at most.
Suppressing the Ultimate Dao that has reached the third step is not so easy!
"You two, master and disciple, are both monsters!"
The Sect Master Jiu Chen sighed. Having trained with Ji Ning for so long, he was well aware that Ji Ning's Dao was also extremely perfect and powerful, and he was suppressed by others at the same level.
"You're not bad either."
Ji Ning shook his head, but at that moment, his expression suddenly hardened slightly.
"How?"
Jiu Chen was slightly surprised, but he quickly understood why.
In the distance, a streak of light exceeding a hundred times the Heavenly Dao limit is rapidly approaching.
The light flashed and arrived in the blink of an eye. Dao Lord Sijia, dressed in a golden robe, appeared in front of him. With a wave of his hand, a young man in a red robe appeared in the next moment. This was Dao Lord Xuehuan.
"It's them?"
Jiu Chen looked at the two of them, and he was surprised.
"As Dao Lord Cheng Tian predicted, someone is taking this opportunity to attack us!" Sect Master Jiu Chen said in a low voice, then shouted loudly into the distance, "However, I can hold off the two of you by myself!"
"Arrogant!"
Dao Lord Xuehuan couldn't help but sneer. In terms of close combat, he completely crushed this "Dao Lord Chishui." The other party was only relying on his Immortality Body to save his life.
"Whether it's arrogance or not, we'll find out soon enough!" The Sect Master Jiu Chen was equally assertive, holding a long staff and preparing to strike. Ji Ning was equally cautious, drawing his sword as well, ready to make his move at any moment.
However, at that moment, two more figures suddenly appeared beside the two of them.
One wore a tall crown and exuded an air of superiority, while the other had an ugly face but stayed close to the figure wearing the tall crown.
"The Sui Meng Cult Master, the Chou Wang?" Ji Ning's expression changed slightly.
Not only have Dao Lord and Dao Lord Sijia, who were previously frightened away, returned, but there are also Sui Meng Cult Master and Chou Wang?
Needless to say, the Sui Meng Cult Master is ranked fourth among the peak Dao Lord of the Endless Territory, possessing immense strength. The Chou Wang beside him is also peak Dao Lord.
One excels in Heartforce, and the other in close combat. When they join forces, few dare to provoke them in the Endless Territory.
"Beiming, there's no need to trouble Dao Lord Cheng Tian immediately. I'll hold them off!" The Sect Master Jiu Chen licked his lips and made this bold decision.
"Jiu Chen, can you handle this?" Ji Ning felt a chill run down his spine.
"Don't worry!" Jiu Chen nodded.
He definitely can't win in a fight. Just Dao Lord Xuehuan alone is stronger than him in close combat!
But he felt he could handle it!
Of course, the reason for choosing to fight head-on instead of immediately seeking help was only partly due to confidence. The key reason was that, in the eyes of the Sect Master Jiu Chen, this was the crucial moment for Zhou Zheng to compete for the title of the number one peak Dao Lord in the Endless Territory, and he was unwilling to disrupt it.
The Sect Master Jiu Chen had no idea that Zhou Zheng didn't care about this title at all, because normally, Dao Lord would be very willing to compete for this honor.
The peak Dao Lord, upon successfully Dao Merge, becomes the ruler. However, among generations of peak Dao Lord, only three have succeeded. This shows just how difficult it is for peak Dao Lord to Dao Merge the Dao.
Given the extremely low success rate, peak Dao Lord generally place great importance on their rankings.
Be careful.
Ji Ning didn't refuse immediately. He knew that the Sect Master Jiu Chen's Immortal Body was indeed difficult to deal with, and he could definitely hold him off for a while.
If there's a real problem, his master can come back anytime.
Call!
Without any further words, a fierce battle erupted between the two sides.
The Sect Master Jiu Chen rushed forward, and after less than ten moves, he was beaten black and blue. Without any hesitation, the Sect Master Jiu Chen transformed into an endless stream of water, relying on his Immortality Body to withstand the attacks from the four peak Dao Lord.
Ji Ning, on the other hand, was holding six swords and was constantly trying to go up and provide support.
Unfortunately, Ji Ning's strength was still too weak. The four peak Dao Lord could easily deal with him and make him retreat.
In fact, the four of them didn't want to pay any attention to Ji Ning at this moment. The Dongming Jade Talisman wasn't on Ji Ning, so killing him would be pointless. Moreover, although Ji Ning wasn't peak Dao Lord, he wasn't weak either and couldn't be killed easily. Why waste time dealing with him? With Zhou Zheng possibly returning at any time, none of the four peak Dao Lord would choose to do that.
In addition, the four peak Dao Lord were also aware that since Dao Lord Bei Ming was, after all, a disciple of Dao Lord Cheng Tian, they might not face retaliation for dealing with Dao Lord Chishui. However, if they killed Dao Lord Bei Ming, things would get complicated.
Within this Yibo Realm, at a crucial moment in the struggle for treasures, none of the four wanted to cause any unnecessary trouble.
"Too weak, I'm still too weak!"
Ji Ning felt the huge gap between himself and the four peak Dao Lord, and he was somewhat anxious.
At this moment, Ji Ning's Original Body and Second Primordial Spirit were also frantically deducing, trying to break through the final bottleneck.
Ji Ning left the Three Realms because Alien Race like the Old Man Yuan terrified him. So he wanted to become stronger in order to protect everything he had: his wife, daughters, hometown, and friends!
But at this moment, the Sect Master Jiu Chen was fighting alone, and he was powerless. At this moment, Ji Ning desperately wanted to become stronger.
"The Ultimate Dao has reached the third step, which is not just a qualitative change in power." Ji Ning recalled what Zhou Zheng had told him, and he suddenly had an epiphany.
"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more!" Ji Ning stopped his attack and began to think hard.
However, at this moment, the Sui Meng Cult Master was also sending a telepathic message to the Chou Wang.
"Don't waste time. Chi Shui's Immortal Body is indeed formidable. Let's attack!"
"Yes, Cult Master!"
Chou Wang agreed without hesitation, and then a small, inconspicuous porcelain bottle appeared in his hand.
On the other side—
Zhou Zheng's numerous Avatar still surrounded the Wine Saint Wine Saint, whose face had turned pale.
Having held on until now, the Wine Saint finally realized that without the Universe Treasure, he had indeed lost.
"Dao Lord Cheng Tian, go all out!" The Wine Saint no longer hesitated. With a slight thought, a pair of black Gauntlets appeared on his hands.
"Is this the Universe Treasure that the Wine Saint obtained?" Zhou Zheng looked at the pair of Gauntlets. Without hesitation, he directly communicated with the Xuan Ling's Wings in his mind.
Wow!
Black wings unfurled behind Zhou Zheng in an instant.
Zhou Zheng and the Wine Saint stared at each other, and just as they were about to make a move, suddenly—
Whoosh!
Endless light and power suddenly erupted in the distance.
"What is that?" Zhou Zheng and the Wine Saint turned their heads at the same time. In the endless light, there was an incredibly stunning Sword Light.
"This sword."
The Wine Saint was filled with shock, while Zhou Zheng watched in silence.
This was a sword strike that transcended time and space. Even the Yibo Realm could not suppress it. Although it was Sword Dao, Zhou Zheng felt he had gained a new understanding of time and space just by watching from afar.
Of course, what he gained the most insight into was the Sword Dao.
Zhou Zheng had just arrived in the Desolate Era World, Sword Dao had already grasped the fusion of the Strongest Dao earlier than his Path of Space-Time. However, as his focus shifted later, his Sword Dao didn't see much progress.
However, the lack of significant breakthroughs in Sword Dao is relative to the Path of Space-Time.
Zhou Zheng Zheng's understanding of Sword Dao is not perfect, only encompassing power and speed. This is mainly because, before arriving in the Desolate Era World, Zhou Zheng had a profound understanding of the paths of Slaughter and Destruction. With the help of his previous accumulation, he became more proficient in these two paths.
The easiest way to break through to the second step is to integrate the Strongest Dao. Even though Zhou Zheng didn't study Sword Dao, he had accumulated a wealth of knowledge. Moreover, in his previous battles, Zhou Zheng had ultimately fought with a sword. For all these reasons, Zhou Zheng's Sword Dao had long since progressed to the second step, and even reached the peak of the second step.
However, since it is the fusion of the Strongest Dao, the first step to the second step is easy, but the second step to the third step is not so simple, so Zhou Zheng has been stuck here.
But at that moment, looking at the enormous Sword Light, Zhou Zheng suddenly understood.
Countless insights converged into a single line, and his Sword Dao naturally broke through, reaching the third step.
"The Strongest Dao contained in this Sword Light is almost the same as the Dao I comprehended!" This thought flashed through Zhou Zheng's mind. Although he had made a breakthrough in Sword Dao, he was not very surprised.
This level of Sword Dao adds very little to his strength; at most, it only slightly enriches his repertoire.
"However, this Sword Light... did Ji Ning use his Dominator Dao Talisman?" Zhou Zheng frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Ji Ning had told him that he had gone to Different Universe and received the Dominator's inheritance. Therefore, Zhou Zheng knew that Ji Ning had a Dao Talisman at the Dominator Level.
However, he left his Avatar with Ji Ning, so even if something really happened, Ji Ning could Past notify him directly. Why would he need to use this Dao Talisman?
Just as Zhou Zheng was wondering, Ji Ning suddenly contacted the Avatar he had left in the other party's Cave-Heaven Treasure.
"Master, help me kill the Sui Meng Cult Master and Dao Lord Sijia!" Ji Ning's voice appeared calm on the surface, but Zhou Zheng could hear the immense anger and killing intent within it.
"Good!"
Zhou Zheng nodded.
What exactly happened can be asked later. Right now, his only disciple has gone to great lengths to ask him for help, so he naturally won't let him down.
