Inside the third stone tower.
Looking at the four Taiyi Celestial Immortal-level tower guards condensed before him, Zhang Jian felt a bit helpless in his eyes.
This pass had only just begun, yet its difficulty already matched the final wave of the previous two passes; it was easy to imagine that what followed would only grow more arduous.
These four great guardians were all transformed from imprints of Taiyi Celestial Immortal-level experts, possessing all the Dao Fruit, Dao Practice, and Magical Power of such powerhouses.
And before him, a great Grand Map evolved to give birth to a Spiritual Acupoint.
His task was to shelter this Spiritual Acupoint, ensuring its integrity remained above sixty percent.
One against four, and all four at the same tier.
There might be even more tricks later on.
Zhang Jian felt that he had to bring out a portion of his true trump cards, otherwise he might suffer a grievous loss.
Still Tier Five matrix-form Immortal Techniques.
Tier Five Immortal Technique Nine-Turns Wishing Wheel Sutra.
Tier Five Immortal Technique Yellow Court Blessed Land Technique.
Tier Five Immortal Technique All Heaven Stars Map.
In the depths of the void, hundreds of millions of streams of starlight swept across one after another, turning into a vast Star River; beams of starlight blossomed forth from within, forming a gigantic Star Array.
That was the higher-tier profundity of the All Heaven Stars Map, the All Heaven Star Array.
Once this Grand Array took shape, it immediately trapped the four Taiyi Celestial Immortal-level Immortal Gods within; no matter what Tier Five Immortal Techniques these four Taiyi Celestial Immortal-level Immortal Gods unleashed to bombard it, the All Heaven Star Array remained ever-round and flawless, difficult to bring to Destruction.
Yet within the Grand Array, Zhang Jian’s brows were slightly furrowed.
The All Heaven Stars Map was the peerless Divine Technique wielded by the Ancient Overlord, the Eastern Emperor; its power was unquestionably tyrannical.
But this place was inside the stone tower, with the void cut off.
Without the Stars of the Celestial Sphere as backing, this All Heaven Star Array, relying solely on his own Origin Immortal Light to evolve, could not be sustained for too long.
At this moment, changes again arose in the depths of the void.
Rumbling roars surged on all sides as a sky-covering flood swept out from the distant void.
That was the Heaven and Earth Law fracturing and giving rise to Heaven and Earth transformations; this layer of Heaven and Earth change immediately affected Zhang Jian’s control over the All Heaven Stars Map.
At the same time, two more Taiyi Celestial Immortal-level Immortal Gods reappeared in the depths of the void, cutting across the sky toward Zhang Jian from two vicious angles.
One was wreathed in dense Geng Metal Immortal Light, a Longsword on his back—clearly a Taiyi Celestial Immortal-level Immortal Sword, exceedingly adept at slaughter.
The other was shrouded in intense flames, an orange-yellow mass of Divine Fire coiling about him as though it would burn the world to ash.
That was Heaven and Earth Divine Flame, Samadhi True Flame.
This True Fire was famed throughout the Taiqing Celestial Lineage.
It possessed exceedingly high growth potential.
In the hands of this Fire Attribute Immortal God, it even held the power to incinerate the Three Treasures; in an instant it turned into strands of orange-yellow Divine Light falling from the void.
The situation instantly became one against six, with the added need to face ever more violent fractures in the Heaven and Earth Dao Laws, and the interference wrought by collapsing mountains and rivers.
Yet upon seeing this, Zhang Jian remained unhurried and unflustered; his vast Innate Primordial Spirit could easily support him in splitting his focus.
In the depths of the void, a matrix-form Tier Five Immortal Technique erupted the instant those two Taiyi Celestial Immortals appeared.
Tier Five Immortal Technique Suihuang World-Burning Technique.
Tier Five Immortal Technique Nine-Turns Wishing Wheel Sutra.
Tier Five Immortal Technique Yellow Court Blessed Land Technique.
The combination of space-time and flames in an instant evolved from the depths of the void into a magnificent Fire Era Dao Map, completely shrouding the void on the other side.
Flames symbolizing the Human Race’s countless fires of hope blazed across the sky.
That surge of power enveloped the cosmos, refining all things; within it, a Heaven and Earth Treasure blossomed with Divine Power.
The two Taiyi Celestial Immortals repeatedly cast Tier Five Immortal Techniques, attempting to cleave apart the space-time imprisonment formed by the Suihuang Burning World Map, but could not find the method; their Dao Fruit was gradually entangled by Suihuang’s flames, slowly burning away, turning into ash.
Zhang Jian glanced once at the two Taiyi Celestial Immortals turned to ash, and at the same time further drew out the Divine Profound within the All Heaven Stars Map in his hand.
The All Heaven Stars Map unfurled; countless stars interwove in an instant, coalescing into a vast Star Grinding Disc. The Star Grinding Disc pressed down, directly exterminating the Taiyi Celestial Immortals one by one.
This was the most Divine Profound aspect of a field-control type Immortal Technique.
It could partition the battlefield and take them apart one at a time.
After annihilating six Taiyi Celestial Immortals, the chaotic spectacle of Heaven and Earth above his head did not subside.
But the mere vision of Laws collapsing was already unable to pose a threat to Zhang Jian.
This side allowed him to smoothly pass the third trial.
Within the Pure Yang Hall, the crowd watched this scene and could not help but secretly nod.
One against six, defeating powerful enemies in the shortest span of time—what Zhang Jian displayed already far surpassed the capabilities of an ordinary Taiyi Celestial Immortal.
And this was likely still not his true strength.
King Yu watched this scene, a slight smile in his heart; he knew the matter was settled.
There was decidedly no problem with Zhang Jian breaking through the Five Passes.
For even now, Zhang Jian still had not revealed his trump cards—not a single one.
He had not even solicited the aid of Immortal Treasures.
King Yu well knew that Zhang Jian’s body housed several mighty Tier Five Immortal Treasures.
Nor had he employed the Human Emperor Immortal Technique or the National Fate Immortal Technique.
On one side of the great hall, Yuan Yang Daoist, present as a disciple accompanying Daoist Monarch Chunyang in receiving guests, watched this scene and could not help feeling secretly shaken.
He had assumed that the Ling Yuan Emperor’s Dao Practice was merely superior to his, but not by much.
Now it seemed he had greatly underestimated the other.
Even with Heaven and Earth authority in his grasp, to pass three trials so easily would still be difficult for him.
Zhang Jian once again stepped out of the third trial with one hundred percent integrity.
As he strode out of the third trial, a kind of indescribable exhilaration welled in his heart.
