The Ancestral Master of Longevity's eyes were filled with disbelief. His all-out attack couldn't affect the Nine Bends Yellow River Array in the slightest?
How is this possible!
"What's the origin of this array?" The Ancestral Master's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Zhang Chen didn't answer the Ancestral Master but silently operated the array, trying to sink the Ascension Pool into the yellow sand and suppress it. By then, without the support of the Ascension Pool, wouldn't it be easy for him to kill the Ancestral Master?
However, the Ascension Pool emitted a colorful light, blocking the invasive power of the yellow sand, and then automatically flew back into the hands of the Ancestral Master. An endless wave of energy surged from the Ascension Pool, irrigating the Ancestral Master's body, constantly stabilizing his cultivation and Dao practice.
"Boy, where did this array come from?" The Ancestral Master stood in the array, feeling parched, and asked again.
Upon hearing the Ancestral Master's words, Zhang Chen chuckled lightly: "Old man, have you realized the power of my array? If I intend to kill you, would I act rashly without complete assurance?"
"Haha, with the Ascension Pool in hand, I'm immune to all laws. How can you measure my cultivation? Although I can't break through this array, neither can you do anything to me." The Ancestral Master stood firmly within the array, shielded by the light emanating from the Ascension Pool, quickly replenishing any consumed Dao practice.
Zhang Chen didn't bother to argue, continuously urging the Nine Bends Yellow River Array to wear down the Longevity Ancestor's qi mechanism. But after half a day, Zhang Chen looked at the Longevity Ancestor standing amidst the yellow sand as serene as ever, like a tortoise shell, his qi mechanism still at its peak, and couldn't help but frown.
"I can't let this continue. The Longevity Ancestor's cultivation is unfathomable. If he really discerns the flaw in the Nine Bends Yellow River Array and escapes using the Ascension Pool, it'll be greatly detrimental to me." Zhang Chen murmured to himself.
Then Zhang Chen turned to Xiu Liu beside him, pulling a talisman from his sleeve and handing it over: "With this talisman, you can freely move within the Nine Bends Yellow River Array. Go and harass the Ancestral Master, make him show a flaw, and then I'll seize the opportunity to see if I can use the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror to lead the Innate Peacock out of the Ascension Pool."
Hearing this, Xiu Liu bitterly smiled: "That old guy is really powerful, especially with that pool, which contains the power of Destruction of All Techniques, it's as troublesome as a tortoise shell. Even if I give it my all, I'm afraid I can't break it."
The next moment, Xiu Liu soared into the sky, summoning the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, transformed into a crimson streak, and lunged at the Longevity Ancestor.
"Coming again?" The Longevity Ancestor looked at Xiu Liu, his eyes filled with ridicule: "How could you be my opponent? Even with this array's support, you're absolutely not my match."
The next instant, a fierce battle erupted, the vast yellow sand turned crimson with blood light, mingling with the pool's colorful glow. In an instant, the two sides clashed into one, with blades and swords flashing, even the yellow sand lifted by the Nine Bends Yellow River Array was twisted into various shapes.
"Ant, dare to shine with your mere Rice Grain Pearl?" The Longevity Ancestor's eyes were filled with mockery, continuously taunting Xiu Liu, while his palm reached into the Ascension Pool, pulling out a Purple Cloud Divine Thunder.
"Holy shit!"
Zhang Chen, commanding from afar, saw the purple lightning and a look of horror emerged in his eyes. He was all too familiar with that lightning; it had shot forth when he first entered the Spiritual World's First Heaven, almost taking half of his life.
Although the purple lightning grasped by the Longevity Ancestor from the Ascension Pool was very fine, just chopstick-thick and chopstick-length, Zhang Chen's memory of that lightning was etched into his bones, impossible to be mistaken.
"Watch out!" Zhang Chen warned Xiu Liu with urgency in his voice.
Unfortunately, although Zhang Chen's warning was timely, Xiu Liu's responses were still too slow. The Purple Cloud Divine Thunder was too fast, so fast that Xiu Liu's thoughts couldn't keep up with its speed.
A crackling thunder resounded in the void, causing the Nine Bends Yellow River Array to tremble slightly, its qi mechanism slightly disordered.
Xiu Liu timely drew the Blood Transformation Divine Saber in front of him, and with a crack, half of it spontaneously evaporated and disappeared, annihilated by the purple lightning.
Even the Innate Golden Scissors, an innate existence, couldn't withstand the purple thunder, let alone the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, a product of Acquired sacrificial refining, and a hastily made artifact?
"That's my Blood Transformation Divine Saber!!!" Zhang Chen, seeing more than half of the saber missing, was heartbroken and almost wanted to cry.
The entire blade had only twenty centimeters of the blade left, with the rest all obliterated by the lightning.
Zhang Chen quickly beckoned with his hand, the remnants of the Blood Transformation Divine Saber flew back into his hand. Seeing the blade shorter than the hilt, Zhang Chen was so angry that he wanted to spit blood. Xiu Liu's years of effort had turned into water overnight.
Zhang Chen caressed the long saber, and with pity, he quickly stored the Blood Transformation Divine Saber within his body. Then, turning his eyes to the battlefield, he saw Xiu Liu resembling a startled mouse, jumping around, incessantly fleeing.
"Zhang Chen, you treacherous dog, you destroyed my Divine Artifact! I swear I will not rest until I get my revenge!" Zhang Chen shouted angrily at the Ancestral Master of Longevity. In the next moment, he summoned, and the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror was expelled from the Devouring Space. Zhang Chen silently recited the incantation, and the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror shot out a beam of light, shining towards the Ancestral Master of Longevity.
After all, Zhang Chen now possessed five hundred years of Magical Power. While his power may not be earth-shattering, five hundred years of Magical Power was already enough for him to accomplish many things.
Although he couldn't fully activate all the might of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, he could still activate part of its power without any trouble.
"How can you activate the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror?!" The Ancestral Master of Longevity, upon seeing Zhang Chen able to use the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, showed a hint of horror in his eyes. "Could it be that you've been possessed by an Immortal?"
The Ancestral Master of Longevity's head buzzed, and his eyes revealed a hint of horror. The veil of confusion that previously shrouded his mind suddenly cleared. If Zhang Chen was the Immortal True Spirit, then it all made sense!
It wouldn't be surprising for the other side to possess the Nine Bends Yellow River Array and such methods.
Facing the light emanating from the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, the Ancestral Master of Longevity felt his heart race and hurriedly activated the Ascension Pool to counteract it. In an instant, the two beams of light clashed, causing the Ascension Pool to quiver slightly. Its Forbidden Technique became somewhat unstable, creating a flaw in the Ascension Pool. Inside, the Five-Colored Divine Light swirled, and the vast Divine Power continuously rose, shaking the stability of the Ascension Pool.
As the Innate Peacock, the pinnacle of power between Heaven and Earth, it wasn't one to be trifled with. Noticing the unfavorable situation, it directly employed Divine Techniques to oppose the Ascension Pool, boldly contending with the Ancestral Master of Longevity for control over the Ascension Pool.
"Damn it! Damn it! How did you two team up?!" The Ancestral Master of Longevity cursed vehemently, his voice filled with anger.
Previously, the Innate Peacock and the Immortal were fiercely battling each other. Why did they suddenly join forces to retaliate against them now?
Indeed, in the Ancestral Master of Longevity's heart, this was a joint retaliation by the Innate Peacock and the Immortal.
"Kill!" Zhang Chen, while activating the Ascension Pool, turned to Xiu Liu and roared angrily.
Xiu Liu also understood the situation had reached a critical moment and transformed into a blood-red shadow, rushing towards the Ancestral Master of Longevity.
His most formidable technique wasn't the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, but the Blood God Child!
The Blood God Child's power was his strongest method!
Facing the assault of the Blood God Child, the Ancestral Master of Longevity mobilized the power of the Ascension Pool to form a protective shield. But when the shield came into contact with the Blood God Child, it suffered the Blood God Child's intrusion, emitting a sizzling sound, as if a red-hot iron was doused with cold water, extremely harsh to the ears.
At this moment, the Ancestral Master of Longevity was confronting Zhang Chen's Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, Nine Bends Yellow River Array, the Innate Peacock's interference within the Ascension Pool, and the assault from Xiu Liu. He finally couldn't hold on, his aura waning, as the Nine Bends Yellow River Array seized the opportunity, relentlessly whittling down his cultivation and Magical Power.
"You old immortals, you're simply going too far! Having been buried in the river of history, why bother jumping out to annoy others?" The Longevity Ancestor cursed, feeling extremely panicked, knowing he'd overestimated himself. This time, it seemed very likely he'd fail disastrously. He was in deep trouble.
If it were just a Nine Bends Yellow River Array, he wouldn't be afraid, but who knew Zhang Chen would be the reincarnation of an Immortal True Spirit? Able to wield the power of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror?
"Kill!"
The Ancestral Master of Longevity's expression turned fierce as he continuously activated the Ascension Pool, attempting to subdue the Innate Peacock. But now caught in a crisis, how difficult was it to change the outcome?
"Ancestral Master, since you've been reborn, why don't we bury the hatchet? I'm willing to return your True Spirit to you." At this time, unable to hold on, the Ancestral Master of Longevity called out to Zhang Chen, his voice filled with a tone of concession.
"Haha, I think if you died here, I'd feel more at ease." Zhang Chen replied to the Ancestral Master of Longevity with a smile, but his words sent a chill to the Ancestral Master of Longevity's heart.
"Ancestral Master, you've seen the power of my Thunder, haven't you? Aren't you afraid I'll destroy that True Spirit of yours with Thunder?" The Ancestral Master of Longevity took out a ball of light from his chest and threatened Zhang Chen.
Looking at the colorful orb, Zhang Chen secretly chuckled to himself. What did the Immortal's True Spirit have to do with Zhang Chen?
Zhang Chen's voice was full of mockery: "If you want to destroy it, go ahead. Since you're in my grasp today, even if the Celestial King himself came, you'd still be doomed!"
"You're truly not afraid?" The Ancestral Master of Longevity felt a bit stunned. Why did this play out differently than he'd imagined? This was supposed to be your True Spirit, weren't you afraid it would be destroyed?
