Collision

'Grunt'

Zhang Xuezhou's shouts were inaudible outside, but he could hear the sounds outside.

When Ao Sheng mentioned the old man's identity, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Although Zhang Xuezhou knew that the great cultivator with three flowers appearing on his head had a powerful background, he didn't expect it to be this powerful.

The Celestial Venerable is the highest-ranking authority in the Immortal Court, and also an existence whose combat power is so overwhelming that it inspires despair.

Even emperors would have to give way to such figures, let alone those weaker than the Venerable Ones.

Looking at Yuanshi Tianzun holding the jade ruyi, he was prepared to kneel down and beg for mercy, just like Ao Sheng.

The moment the other person stepped into the hall, Zhang Xuezhou was already kneeling down.

Zhang Xuezhou was surprised that even with the jade ruyi in hand, Yuanshi Tianzun did not step into the main hall.

Conversely, the other party also knelt down.

"You've mistaken me for someone else!"

Cold sweat poured from Zhang Xuezhou's forehead.

This great hall trapped Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou and his companions, yet it also protected them.

Zhang Xuezhou and the others couldn't get out, and Yuanshi Tianzun, who held the key of the jade ruyi, couldn't get in either.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but gasp for breath.

Yuanshi Tianzun did not leave through the door, nor did he dare to move rashly.

They faced each other, and Zhang Xuezhou could almost see every single hair on the other's face.

Zhang Xuezhou could also sense the unease of Yuanshi Tianzun outside the door.

He mustered his courage, but Zhang Xuezhou quickly lost it.

He could see and hear everything outside the door, but those outside could neither see nor hear anything inside the room. Even if he tried to use Fake Technique to imitate the voice that had entered the hall before, this imposter, Zhang Xuezhou, couldn't transmit his own voice.

There is absolutely no chance of getting rid of Yuanshi Tianzun by pretending to be a deity.

"Only if Gongsun Hong activates 'Jiuyu' again can we escape from here, but he's in a trance and can't wake up. Even if I forcibly wake him, he can't distinguish between reality and illusion, let alone recover his body and activate 'Jiuyu'. How can we escape from here?"

Zhang Xuezhou's first thought was to urge 'Jiuyu' to escape from this place again.

However, activating 'Jiuyu' has become virtually impossible at present.

Although Gongsun Hong was only a cultivator at the Divine Ability Realm, his solid cultivation made his foundation extremely strong and his Law Power extremely surging.

Having personally experienced Gongsun Hong's power, Zhang Xuezhou was certain that Gongsun Hong's Law Power were far greater than his own in reality.

This veteran cultivator's Technique Method are remarkable, and his cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the Divine Ability Realm; he is almost ready to step into the Sole Self Realm with just one more step.

Zhang Xuezhou had not reached the Divine Ability Realm; his Law Power was not as profound as his real self, much less than that of Gongsun Hong.

Gongsun Hong had almost exhausted his Law Power to activate 'Jiuyu', so it was unlikely that Zhang Xuezhou could activate this treasure, and he also had difficulty finding another source of light.

He kept considering various ways to escape the danger, but Zhang Xuezhou found that none of them were reliable.

Until the dazzling flames illuminated the entire world, and a deafening roar followed.

His guess was correct; the Mohists's Mechanical City did indeed possess an energy-driven device, and this device was beyond his imagination.

This was the most powerful explosion Zhang Xuezhou had ever encountered, far more powerful than the bombardment of Laiyata by two hundred rockets.

A huge fireball rose up, then transformed into flames that blotted out the sky.

The sound of the explosion traveled after the light, accompanied by endless explosions and bursts of flame.

"Damn the Celestial Craftsmen, even in death they bring us trouble, leaving this thing to the Mohists!"

At the entrance of the main hall, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but curse. With a sway of his body, the golden lotuses that had previously shrunk their bodies reappeared. Four golden lotuses sprouted from the soles of his feet, their petals radiating light, and flowers blooming from the light, creating a scene of ten thousand golden lotuses shining in the air.

His Law Power manifested, with endless purple purple qi supporting these golden lotuses.

A dense barrage of collisions and impacts then echoed throughout the entire secret realm.

The body of the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable trembled slightly, and his face instantly turned bright red.

"This student is unworthy, and begs Master for help!"

The auspicious cloud Technique Method still filled the sky, but Yuanshi Tianzun had already sensed the strain.

A loss of face was inevitable, but more seriously, the secret location would be difficult to withstand due to the impact of such an explosion.

If it were just about defending an individual, Yuanshi Tianzun would simply smile slightly, but protecting this secret realm was indeed strenuous for him, and he even found it difficult to sustain.

The Yuanshi Celestial Venerable made a request, but there was no response from the main hall of the Purple Cloud Palace.

Seemingly expressing his dissatisfaction, so much time had passed, and Yuanshi Tianzun had not heard a sound from Zixiao Palace.

Of course, he was so caught up in the river of time and space that he lost his way when he traveled through the past and the Yuanshi, and this process did indeed take quite a long time.

Perhaps his teacher was impatient, or perhaps his teacher was also lost in thought and unaware of what was happening outside.

There are bad possibilities and neutral possibilities, but no good possibilities.

The Yuanshi Celestial Venerable pondered deeply for a moment, and in the end, he could only exhale and speak.

As he pointed behind him, a long, dark blue banner appeared behind him, then fluttered into the air, transforming into something that blotted out the sky.

The secret realm instantly dimmed, leaving only the sound of millstones turning. Even the purple light of the Purple Cloud Palace was suppressed, leaving only the faint candlelight.

Night and day intertwine, light and darkness collide.

The world seemed to be heading towards its end, with endless booming sounds. Occasionally, the sky would tear open, revealing enormous golden lotuses, and red fire serpents would wander into the secret realm, causing the sky to explode and startling up golden lightning.

While away, Yuanshi Tianzun's chest heaved repeatedly, and an unnatural blush would occasionally appear on his usually calm face.

When dark golden blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, a hint of pain appeared on Yuanshi Tianzun's face.

When he fought against cultivators, he was fighting against individuals; but now he was fighting against the destruction of nature.

Fighting with people is endlessly enjoyable, and fighting against heaven and earth is undoubtedly a joyful thing. He had not suffered any injuries for a thousand years, but now, while protecting the Zixiao Palace, he has damaged his body.

The powerful defensive technique 'Qingyun', second only to the Linglong Tower, was broken through, and the backlash from this attack made him extremely uncomfortable.

But this is the only place that Yuanshi Tianzun was willing to be injured to protect, and even the Yuqing Sanyuan Palace where he himself resides cannot have this kind of importance.

This is where his teacher preached, the starting point for his transformation from human to immortal, and the pure land of his soul.

There are twelve rooms here, each containing their past memories.

Nine-petaled flowers appeared above his head, and the boundless purple Law Power of the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable was thrown into the air.

Golden lightning dissipated in the mist, and fire snakes vanished in the purple qi. Tiny bolts of lightning and sparks suddenly appeared on Yuanshi Tianzhen's body, causing a series of sizzling sounds and even leaving scorched marks on his white celestial robes.

As ashes fell, the Yuanshi Celestial Lord looked back and forth, finally fixing his gaze on another living dragon in this secret place.

"Evil dragon, go and undergo a tribulation of lightning and fire!"

Yuanshi Tianzun pointed a finger, and Ao Sheng stood up in fear.

"Heavenly Venerable, I am severely injured. My strength has not yet reached the eighth realm. I... Ah!"

A wisp of Law Power wrapped around Ao Sheng's body, and Ao Sheng's body suddenly became uncontrollable, revealing a body three zhang long.

"Seeing is believing, and he is indeed a bit ugly!"

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at it, then flicked his finger, and a golden round pill was placed into Ao Sheng's mouth.

A tremendous Law Power instantly surged within Ao Sheng's body, and his physical wounds healed rapidly.

"Ugly as it may be, if you can help me withstand this thunder and fire, that will be enough," Yuanshi Tianzun murmured. "If you can survive, it will be your blessing; if you can't, it will be your punishment for offending me. Your dragon clan all have the surname Ao, so you'll probably get used to it by now."

Yuanshi Tianzun clearly used Ao Sheng as a useless piece of trash, doing as much as he could to block as many enemies as possible.

In the main hall of Zixiao Palace, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel deep regret.

He glanced at the pocket of the Yuanshi Celestial Venerable, but failed to notice that the Pill of Life Creation was hidden inside.

If he could do it all over again, he would definitely search the other person's pockets and take all the Life-Creating Pills with him.

Zhang Xuezhou has never had a good ending, no matter how many secret places or treasures he searches for.

Compared to exploring and searching, asking others for things is obviously much more convenient.
