Fierce Battle for the Treasures
Zhou Zheng wasn't oblivious to what was happening around him while breaking the restrictions; as time went on, he also learned about what was happening on the second level through Ji Ning.
Less than half a year after Zhou Zheng arrived at this Altar, the Realm Spirit Pu Luo announced that the Wine Saint had obtained the second Dongming Jade Talisman.
Immediately afterwards, the Wine Saint encountered six Dao Lord had joined forces to break out from the first layer of the world. The Wine Saint did not linger for long and, after escaping using some means, went directly to the passage where Ji Ning and the others were.
But before the Wine Saint Realm Spirit Pu Luo could arrive, news spread that the third Dongming Jade Talisman had been obtained by Ji Ning.
Suddenly, all the Dao Lord were stunned.
To be honest, Ji Ning was quite unremarkable before. At the very least, he was far less impressive than Zhou Zheng and the Wine Saint, and his Dao Lord ranking was not high, even below Li Xing Palace Master.
But who could have imagined that Ji Ning would obtain the Dongming Jade Talisman only slightly later than the Wine Saint?
The trials of the Second Layer World had held the Wine Saint back for nearly ten years. All the peak Dao Lord were well aware of their difficulty, and no one had ever imagined such a day would come.
"All five Dongming Jade Talisman have owners? All the peak Dao Lord felt somewhat caught off guard."
However, before the peak Dao Lord could digest this news, another shocking piece of news suddenly arrived.
"The Dao Lord Bei Ming fought the Wine Saint and won? The Wine Saint even used Universe Treasure?" Everyone was truly dumbfounded.
This news is truly unbelievable. A peak Dao Lord without Universe Treasure defeated a peak Dao Lord with a Universe Treasure. It sounds incredible no matter how you look at it.
But that's the truth!
"This Dao Lord Bei Ming Beiming is truly hiding his strength! He has such power after breaking through!" Many peak Dao Lord couldn't help but curse inwardly, but now they had to face the facts.
The unclaimed Dongming Jade Talisman is gone, what should we do?
It's actually not complicated, it just comes down to grabbing!
As for who to steal from, naturally you'll pick the weakest one first!
The five Dongming Jade Talisman were in the hands of Zhou Zheng, Ji Ning, the Wine Saint, and the Sect Master Jiu Chen. The first three were tough opponents, while the Sect Master Jiu Chen was an easy target, so he naturally became everyone's target.
However, when the Dao Lord gathered to prepare to take action against the Sect Master Jiu Chen, Ji Ning took the Sect Master Jiu Chen into his Cave-Heaven Treasure.
Now, Ji Ning also became someone who possessed two Dongming Jade Talisman, making him even more alluring. Apart from a few Dao Lord like Li Xing Palace Master and Xingyun Palace Master, who were unable to attack Ji Ning due to their Life Oath, the other peak Dao Lord launched a siege against him without any hesitation.
"Do you need my help?" Zhou Zheng asked telepathically as soon as he heard that Ji Ning was being besieged and chased.
"I don't need you to intervene for now, Master. I can easily handle them with my ' Assassination Sword Techniques '!" Ji Ning said.
"I have already instructed Jiu Chen to quickly use up the Dongming Jade Talisman within my Cave-Heaven Treasure. Once the Dongming Jade Talisman is gone, most of the Dao Lord chasing me will naturally give up!"
"That's definitely a good idea!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheng immediately felt relieved.
The "Assassination Sword Techniques," a move born from the third step of the Ultimate Sword Dao, is indeed an extremely powerful move, with its hidden abilities unmatched among peak Dao Lord.
Even if a large number of peak Dao Lord unite together, they still can't find anyone. What can they do?
Of course, Assassination Sword Techniques is not absolutely invincible. Within a certain range, if someone continuously bombards every Void, it is possible to blast Ji Ning out.
But Ji Ning isn't stupid; he wouldn't trap himself in a place he can't escape from, so the probability of such a thing happening is low.
As long as the Sect Master Jiu Chen uses the Dongming Jade Talisman and makes Life Oath guaranteeing that the Dongming Jade Talisman is gone, those who are chasing him will naturally give up.
There are approximately thirty or so peak Dao Lord who have come to the Yibo Realm this time.
Four people died directly or indirectly at Zhou Zheng's hands, one died at Ji Ning's hands, and there are still nearly thirty remaining.
As time passed, more and more peak Dao Lord joined forces to venture into the Second Layer World, making the Second Layer World increasingly chaotic.
Initially, many peak Dao Lord, including the Wine Saint, were chasing and intercepting Ji Ning and the Sect Master Jiu Chen. However, as time went on, more and more peak Dao Lord realized that they could not catch Ji Ning at all. So, with the help of Li Xing Palace Master and Xingyun Palace Master, who were originally only able to stand by and watch, more than a dozen peak Dao Lord Dao Lord took action and surrounded the Wine Saint.
More than a dozen peak Dao Lord suddenly launched an attack, leaving even the Wine Saint in a sorry state.
Of course, the Wine Saint should be thankful that not everyone suddenly changed their minds and turned against him, otherwise he would have been in an even more embarrassing situation.
Since some of the peak Dao Lord were attracted Past the Wine Saint, Ji Ning's pressure has been greatly reduced. He no longer hides, but takes the initiative to show himself and fight against the peak Dao Lord one by one.
This once again proves that Ji Ning is indeed more powerful than the Wine Saint.
Faced with the siege of more than a dozen peak Dao Lord, the Wine Saint could only be suppressed in a sorry state, while Ji Ning was able to keep entangled with him by relying on the "Assassination Sword Techniques". Although there was the factor that Ji Ning was more adept at dealing with sieges, no one could deny that he was indeed very powerful.
In the midst of the constant battles, one peak Dao Lord after another revealed their strength, and the previous Peak Dao Lord Ranking underwent tremendous changes.
First, Dao Lord Cheng Tian; second, Dao Lord Bei Ming; third, Wine Saint; fourth, Dao Lord Xiaomeng; fifth, Li Xing Palace Master; sixth, King Gu Jia; seventh, Dao Lord Hei Xiao; eighth, Shi Jiu; ninth, Dao Lord Yan Hu.
The Dao Alliance updated the Dao Lord Ranking once again, instantly causing an uproar Endless Territory. Of the Top Ten Peak Dao Lord Ranking had competed for the title before the Yibo Realm, only the Wine Saint and Li Xing Palace Master remained; the rest had all been replaced.
While the deaths of the Sui Meng Cult Master and the Bright King are a factor, it must be said that the previous Peak Dao Lord Ranking was indeed ridiculously inaccurate!
However, the peak Dao Lord who were currently vying for power within the Yibo Realm couldn't care less about these things; all they had in mind was the Dongming Jade Talisman.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
"I swear on my Life Technique that the Dongming Jade Talisman has been given to me." The Sect Master Jiu Chen stood beside Ji Ning and made his Life Oath in front of a group of peak Dao Lord.
As the invisible fluctuations descended, a smile involuntarily appeared on the face of the Sect Master Jiu Chen.
The Dongming Jade Talisman truly lives up to its reputation as Dao Merge Supreme Treasure for achieving Dao. Even though he hasn't reached the Dao Integration Threshold yet, using the Dongming Jade Talisman to simulate Dao Merge has greatly benefited him, giving him an extra three points of confidence in achieving Dao Merge in the future.
Under these circumstances, the Sect Master Jiu Chen naturally couldn't help but want to laugh.
But while the Sect Master Jiu Chen wanted to laugh, the other peak Dao Lord felt disgusted.
"Damn you, Dao Lord Chishui!"
"What a waste!"
"Rubbish!"
You deserve to die!
"."
Several peak Dao Lord couldn't help but curse angrily, but no matter how much they cursed, they had now come to terms with reality. The Dongming Jade Talisman had already been used up, so what else could they do?
Should we continue targeting Dao Lord Bei Ming? Who can break through his Assassination Sword Techniques?
However, although the peak Dao Lord were disappointed, they were not desperate. They were not without hope, for there was still the Wine Saint.
"Let's go, let's go deal with the Wine Saint together. Although he is powerful, he is not as good at protecting himself as the Dao Lord Bei Ming. With so many of us, we can drown him with just one spit from each of us!" King Gu Jia, who was now in sixth place, shouted.
"Walk!"
"Together!"
"."
In an instant, many peak Dao Lord responded in unison.
"Poor Wine Saint, he's being targeted by more than twenty peak Dao Lord!" Sect Master Jiu Chen shook his head and sighed. Ji Ning was speechless. Not long ago, he was the one receiving this treatment. Being besieged by so many peak Dao Lord was really not a pleasant experience.
"Beiming, thank you very much this time!" the Sect Master Jiu Chen suddenly said.
"It's no big deal!" A smile appeared on Ji Ning's lips.
He was powerless to help Jiu Chen last time, but this time he turned the tide. He has indeed become stronger now, which makes his cultivation worthwhile!
"What do we do next?" Jiu Chen asked again.
"Let's watch the show and see what the Wine Saint does!" Ji Ning smiled.
