Just as I was passing by, I sensed the fluctuations of a battle and thought to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Yet, I didn’t expect to fail so unexpectedly.
My Tier Two Immortal Technique was actually evaded!
The opponent sensed it in advance and quickly escaped.
"Interesting, but can you really escape?"
This Outer Demon God’s eyes flashed with interest.
His body transformed into a thick purple light and dove into the depths of the sea, swiftly tracking the faint aura, rapidly closing in.
Now that the ’prey’ is locked, he naturally can’t allow the opponent to escape.
"He’s following!"
In the depths of the void, sensing the demonic qi fluctuations deep beneath the sea, Zhang Jian’s eyes flickered.
A strange light flashed in his eyes.
To his surprise, he had unexpectedly run into this fleeing Outer Demon God here.
However, he wasn’t fleeing out of fear; he was just choosing a ’better’ battlefield.
He even deliberately leaked a bit of his aura, fearing the opponent wouldn’t ’take the bait’!
Two moments later, Zhang Jian saw a vast stretch of land ahead.
This wasn’t the densely populated Qingli Province but the Changling Province.
This area was near the main range of the Two Realms Mountain, surrounded entirely by the Ancient Wood Wolf Forest.
Upon seeing this land, Zhang Jian immediately accelerated, disappearing into it in an instant.
A wisp of demonic qi followed closely behind.
Purple-black light pierced through the void, and vast, towering ancient trees seemed to be drained of their vitality by endless demonic qi, turning into dust.
After penetrating tens of thousands of miles into Changling Province, Zhang Jian chose a mountain peak to halt.
Standing atop the peak, feeling the reactivation of the Sheji Sovereignty’s law power, a bright light flickered in his eyes. At this moment, he formed seals in his hand, and the ’Supreme Forget Emotion Technique’ and "Tier Two Divine Skill: Celestial Dao Overawing" simultaneously empowered him.
In the depths of the void, in an instant, a thick stream of purple-yellow light surged towards the deep sky.
In the depths of the sky, a hundred-foot-tall purple-black Demon God stepped out, seemingly unharmed in the face of the Tier Two Divine Skill "Heavenly Dao’s Fury".
Seeing this, Zhang Jian’s expression changed, and a realization flashed across his mind.
This Outer Demon God likely hadn’t descended in its true form.
The method of descent was probably similar to the Celestial Demon Star of the past, arriving in the form of a Demon God Primordial Embryo by projecting a part of its flesh and Divine Soul imprint first.
Its true body far surpassed the level of a Tier Two Celestial Immortal.
At this thought, the hundred-foot Sea Demon God transformed into a purple-black light, a mighty evil qi rushed towards Zhang Jian.
This majestic force also bore the power of a awe-inspiring type of Immortal Technique.
The Sea Demon God relied on the strength of its flesh body, directly clawing at Zhang Jian, tearing through the sky with overwhelming power at an astonishing speed.
Zhang Jian’s expression remained unchanged, as another Tier Two Defensive Immortal Technique formed in his palm.
The Tier Two Immortal Treasure Taiyin Divine Fire Treasure Wheel appeared above his head.
Countless cold currents erupted around him, transforming into a gigantic Taiyin Sacred Lotus, enveloping his body layer by layer.
The Taiyin Sacred Lotus’s radiance contained not only the power of the Taiyin Law Sovereignty but also gradually acquired a layer of immortal, undying spiritual light.
It was more unique compared to ordinary Tier Two Immortal Techniques.
He was gradually comprehending the power of the Innate Taiyin Law Dao Seed.
Claws pierced through, striking the Taiyin Sacred Lotus, formed by countless Taiyin Ice Crystals, as if a massive creature traversed it, with strands of purple-black shadows appearing everywhere.
Layers of Taiyin Sacred Lotus ice crystals crumbled, yet it remained unbreakable.
This scene made the Sea Demon God’s eyes grow colder. Layers of demonic qi surged around him, and in an instant, dense demonic light formed around him. A fierce light emerged deep within his body, a cold edge appeared in his hand, seemingly splitting the void.
This time, he utilized a super-tier technique, a Tier Three Immortal Technique enhanced his claw, carrying the power to sever the void, split the sky, and plunged towards Zhang Jian.
Zhang Jian’s eyes lifted, faint purple qi rising beneath them.
His speed in casting Tier Two Immortal Techniques was extremely fast, with the support of Sheji Emperor’s Authority and the materialized Primordial Spirit, enabling him to construct Tier Two Immortal Techniques rapidly, not slower than a Tier Two Celestial Immortal.
This astonishing display played a crucial role at this moment of execution.
With a thought, the surroundings suddenly transformed.
Endless light and shadows permeated the sky, instantly enveloping the area above stretching for thousands of miles; the Map of Mountains and Rivers cloaked the region.
"Spatial Immortal Technique?"
The Sea Demon God glanced around, his brow slightly furrowed but indifferent.
He did not believe that a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, even one with some uniqueness, could struggle with a spatial technique for long before him.
"I’m becoming more interested in the secrets you carry!"
A cold voice emerged, and instantly a purple-black rainbow streaked across the void, tearing through the firmament.
Sharp claws pierced everything.
As he anticipated, the central Taiyin Sacred Lotus was split in two in a flash, killing the ’Zhang Jian’ along with it!
But the Sea Demon God’s expression quickly darkened, the surprise evident in his eyes as he noticed that the spatial immortal technique was unlike any he had encountered before.
Other spatial techniques would have been torn apart by his strike.
However, instead of tearing, it was merely pierced through—a hole that quickly healed.
It carried a unique conceptual flavor.
One must know that ’concept’ derives from the Heaven and Earth Dao Laws, surpassing the Great Dao Laws. Only high-tier immortals who have reached Taiyi can touch upon such heavenly Dao mysteries, marking the beginning of transcendence.
"Indeed, very special. Your soul is worthy of being in my collection!"
With a calm expression, he transformed into a sharp blade, fiercely slashing towards the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers, with the power to think of mountains as mountains and waters as waters, could imprison True Immortals, but to the Sea Demon God, it was still far too simple.
Grandiose magical light locked onto the area where Zhang Jian stood; the blade fell, as if cleaving the vast universe in two.
Meanwhile, Zhang Jian revealed his true skills; deep in his brow, the Red Dragon Pearl emerged, filling the Map of Mountains and Rivers with grand Divine Dao Emperor Qi.
In a flash, the Map of Mountains and Rivers transformed into a grand Emperor Qi Space, beginning to suppress the demonic qi of the Sea Demon God and hinder the perception of the Demon Soul.
"Divine Dao Emperor Qi, Divine Dao Emperor?!"
In mid-air, facing the impact of the Divine Dao Emperor Qi, the grand blade was slightly dulled.
Simultaneously, Zhang Jian raised his hand, from the depths of his palm the Sheji Divine Dao Authority turned into golden lights, rallied like mountains, crashing against the Sea Demon God.
Caught off guard.
The claws of the Sea Demon God crumbled, his form flew thousands of feet back with a trail of blood light.
Countless flesh and blood scattered around him, as if transforming into pulp.
Yet as the Sea Demon God landed, he remained exceptionally stable, a large piece of his chest was caved in, his thick layer of demon armor collapsed, and his chest bore a large wound, even his bones turned to dust but started regenerating amidst purple-black demonic qi.
At this moment, he cracked open his mouth, revealing countless sharp tusks, his purple-black eyes filled with a hint of ecstasy, as he spat purple-black blood and laughed.
"So, you’re just a lucky soul, who has only recently obtained the Divine Dao Emperor status. That the mighty Emperor Authority is used like building blocks, laughable indeed! However, meeting me was unfortunate for your luck, a freshly born Divine Dao Emperor, you’re fit to be a piece in my collection!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian smiled faintly.
"Well said, indeed. Perfect timing, I have my eye on your Leader of the Six Yang, capturing you will surely bring immense fortune to the world, rivaling a millennium of cultivation!"
At this time, Zhang Jian waved his hand, and in the depths of the void four Cyan Lotuses appeared.
On the Cyan Lotuses, streams of golden light flowed, and four Desolate God Kings manifested their Divine Soul Bodies.
Each Desolate God King circulated with intense golden light and with flows of Divine Dao Law around them.
The Divine Dao Magical Power they revealed was not strong, barely entering the True Immortal Realm.
Yet they had once been Desolate God Kings, their vision and manner of wielding power still intact.
"Hold him off temporarily for me!"
Upon hearing, the four Desolate God Kings responded in deep voices.
"Yes, Celestial Venerable!"
They exchanged a glance, transforming into four streaks of light, standing at four positions, manifesting a strange killing array that enveloped the Outer Demon God.
From the depths of Zhang Jian’s palm the Taiyin Ice Soul Bow emerged.
