"You vile god, if it weren’t for the conflict with my true form, how would I have fallen to your hands! But if you think you can subdue me, you’re dreaming!"
"A prisoner on his knees always finds excuses!"
Zhang Jian sneered, and with a chant, a Cyan Lotus appeared in the void, instantly striking the jade-colored Jade Bamboo, attempting to suppress the Artifact Spirit within using this Dao Heart Immortal Technique.
Yet countless golden lights emerged on the jade-colored Jade Bamboo, releasing rays of Pure Zen Light. The power of this Pure Zen Light was immense, with a strong sense of exclusivity, making it impossible for the Cyan Lotus Soul Purification Spell to penetrate.
The Artifact Spirit sneered.
"It’s useless. In this Ancient Demon Spring, I am the master. You Immortal Gods can do nothing against me unless you disregard the lives of those on the West He Divine Continent. But you, hypocritical gods, can you really do that?"
"Heh, I doubt it. For you, cultivating your Dao Heart is more important than anything..."
Seeing this, Zhang Jian slightly frowned and decided not to argue further.
He was well aware of the commotion outside.
The Immortals had already engaged in battle with the demons outside.
Zhang Jian’s fingers itched.
Those Outer Demon Gods were real opportunities, also capital for reaping rewards within the Ancestral Hall.
Killing more would be beneficial for the Saint Dao’s grand undertaking and bring heavenly opportunities.
There was no reason for him to waste time deep in the Ancient Demon Spring with this Buddhist Treasure called the Pure Meditation Staff.
Zhang Jian glanced at the Buddhist Treasure.
This Buddhist Treasure was quite troublesome for him; he couldn’t take it away directly, lest the Ancient Demon Spring erupt without its suppressing Divine Object, nor could he let it continue absorbing the Demon Spring’s origin within to restore the Artifact Spirit’s power.
Of course, Zhang Jian was also worried that after startling the snake in the grass, this demonized Artifact Spirit would flee in fear.
If it fell into the hands of the Outer Demon Gods, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"It seems I can only find a way to seal it temporarily!"
Zhang Jian’s eyes fixed on this Tier Five Buddhist Treasure.
The origin of this Tier Five Buddhist Treasure was split into two; most of the origin was tainted by Demonic Evil Qi, fundamentally distorted, yet it retained part of its Tier Five Immortal Treasure power.
Ordinary sealing Immortal Techniques were ineffective against it.
However, Zhang Jian still had a method to seal it for a few days temporarily.
With a thought, Zhang Jian took out a gourd.
That was another Tier Four Immortal Treasure in his possession.
Using this Tier Four Immortal Treasure as the formation core, Zhang Jian deployed a First Layer Celestial Demon Godslaying Array with a thought. This grand array had no other function except to constantly draw the power of the Pure Meditation Staff, forcing it to continuously release its Tier Five Immortal Treasure power to resist.
The two would create a peculiar balance, jointly suppressing the Ancient Demon Spring.
But this balance wouldn’t last long.
Although the Tier Five Immortal Treasure Pure Meditation Staff’s Artifact Spirit was severely damaged by Zhang Jian, it was still a Tier Five Buddhist Treasure, which would recover over time, and then the Celestial Demon Gourd wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
But this period was enough for Zhang Jian, who was focused on his ’career’!
Seeing the Demon Fiend and the treasure gradually form a balance, Zhang Jian instantly dashed upwards towards the Demon Spring.
Deep within the Demon Spring, seeing Zhang Jian’s indifferent departure, the Pure Artifact Spirit was instantly furious, cursing loudly.
This god paid no heed to this Tier Five Buddhist Treasure!
This made it very uncomfortable.
Just as it was about to speak, the Celestial Demon Gourd’s infinite suction burst forth, and it didn’t dare distract itself, hurriedly mobilizing the Tier Five Buddhist Treasure’s internal Divine Power to fully resist this suction, lest its energy be drawn away.
Zhang Jian made his way upward swiftly.
Upon emerging, his eyes flashed with a strange color, and with a thought, he set up the Map of Mountains and Rivers around the Ancient Demon Spring, enveloping the entrance.
Anyone who dared to rush into the Demon Spring to bathe in Demonic Qi or disrupt the balance was courting death!
Afterward, Zhang Jian directly manifested his Innate Emperor form, charging towards an Outer Demon God above him!
