Chapter 448

"Who is it?"

The true immortal of the Ji family had a change in expression, almost instinctively activating a protective immortal technique, a blazing divine light emanating from his entire body.

The magnificent divine light transformed into a spatial domain enveloping his surroundings, as if mountains and rivers radiated brilliance, suppressing the void.

This is the ability of that second-rank immortal treasure.

That is also a second-rank immortal technique.

However, this second-rank immortal technique cannot withstand the cold arrow flying from the depths of the void.

Yin Refinement Form Divine Arrow.

The icy divine arrow turned into a stream of light, piercing through the condensed mountains and rivers space around his body the moment the words appeared; a chill spiritual light followed the trajectory of the technique straight into the depths of this true immortal's glabella, the cold causing a layer of white frost to appear deep within his glabella.

His entire body was further enveloped in a thick layer of solid ice.

Yet he did not immediately lose his ability to resist; the mountain and river gourd in his hand continuously emitted earth-yellow light, layer upon layer of magnificent power surging into this true immortal's body, helping him resist the ice seal of the Yin Refinement Form Divine Arrow.

Deep within his glabella, another magnificent imperial aura burst forth, like a great earth-yellow sun, imperial starlight shooting straight into the clouds.

A special natal immortal treasure erupted from deep within his glabella—it was an imperial seal!

The power of this imperial seal is extraordinarily formidable, containing terrifying imperial purple aura.

It is likely an imperial seal once used by an ancient holy king.

The foundation he revealed far surpasses that of the Deyang Elder Ancestor of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

As fellow true immortals, facing the Yin Ice Soul Divine Light, the Deyang Elder Ancestor could only surrender helplessly, whereas he, after being struck by Zhang Jian's arrow, still retained the power to resist.

But in Zhang Jian's view, this resistance made little difference.

Just a few more breaths of struggle.

"Bold!"

At this moment, in the depths of the void, an angry voice echoed from the void, instantly reaching Zhang Jian's ears; indeed, a magnificent immortal Dao law aura manifested from all directions.

"Water, wind, fire!"

Accompanying the depths of the void, streams of magnificent immortal Dao law light descended from the void.

Above the boundless heavens, three vast immortal Dao law lights bombarded toward Zhang Jian, among which two streams of aura were clearly stronger than ordinary first-rank immortal techniques.

One was a raging wind, and divine fire light carried the power of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao law.

These were the immortal law lights of innate divine wind and innate divine fire.

At this moment, three more figures bearing immortal Dao law light emerged from the depths of the void.

Four true immortals in total.

Zhang Jian glanced around, his expression calm.

With the reverence of the head of the Ji family's Eight Holy Kings lineage, even if four true immortals came, let alone if an ancestral figure of celestial immortal rank arrived, he would not be surprised.

Meet force with force, water with earth.

However many come, that many will stay!

His gaze swept over; it was easy to guess these four true immortals aligned with the innate four symbols, and they likely understood combined attack techniques.

"We must not let them successfully converge and form a great formation, otherwise we will inevitably have to expend more effort!"

Zhang Jian had no intention of inviting trouble for himself.

He prepared for a swift and decisive battle.

"Time-Space Stagnation!"

Zhang Jian raised one palm; deep within his palm, it seemed as if it covered and obscured the sky, enveloping tens of thousands of miles of heaven.

Nine Revolutions Ruyi Time Wheel Sutra.

Huangting Blessed Land Great Law.

Casting using two second-rank immortal techniques combined.

The brilliance of three first-rank immortal techniques was instantly submerged.

Two lights intertwined, as if an intangible time-space torrent enveloped the heavens.

Three true immortals were enveloped within it, only feeling their expressions change.

The power formed by these two combined techniques, in their primordial spirit consciousness, was completely unable to be resisted.

In the moment of thought, two of the three true immortals each had a dense immortal light appear above their heads, either transforming into a treasure umbrella or into countless imperial auras, dragon qi flowing, forming a jeweled canopy.

These were two extremely rare second-rank immortal treasures.

By comparison, the true immortal who displayed water-attribute immortal technique was clearly impoverished, his head only managing to condense a lively Dao law spirit pearl, as if countless water clouds had condensed, forming a water-colored rune torrent to protect himself.

Within that time-space condensing torrent, with different immortal treasures, the degree of suppression was clearly different.

Although the other two were struck by the time-space torrent, their bodies were indeed entwined with dense immortal Dao law light, their movements slowed, yet relying on the protection of two second-rank immortal treasures, they could still move, attempting to recast spells.

The water-attribute true immortal, upon being struck, was completely unable to move.

At this moment, Zhang Jian noticed that the glabella divine light of the earth-attribute true immortal frozen by the Yin Refinement Form Divine Arrow was circulating, gradually beginning to restore movement.

"Let's deal with one first!"

Zhang Jian's thoughts turned like lightning.

His body transformed into a crystal divine light, the Yin Immortal Rainbow Great Law circulating; his form instantly appeared behind the water-attribute true immortal, a hint of cold indifference appearing in his eyes, the Yin Divine Fire Treasure Wheel transforming into countless Yin divine fires condensing behind him.

The second-rank immortal technique Yin Ice Soul Divine Light instantly erupted from his hand, transforming this water-attribute true immortal from head to toe into a human-shaped block of ice.

"Ji Cheng!"

Gazing upon this scene, the Ji family true immortal whose body was entwined with intense innate divine fire had eyes that seemed to spit out purple-red flames.

"You brat dare to injure my Ji family true immortal—no one can save you!"

Amidst his roar, his body seemed to flow with countless heaven-shaking dragon roars; the mass of invisible red-purple divine fire around him at this moment resembled a blazing red lotus, countless red lotus petals entwined with countless lights, fire runes.

Divine light expanded, and even time and space were melted beneath this heaven-shaking fire lava.

He condensed a divine sword in his hand, the blade entwined with countless imperial Dao runes, resembling a sword that cleaved heaven and earth, slashing through the firmament.

This is a divine Dao immortal treasure.

Moreover, it is a second-rank divine Dao immortal treasure.

As he swung his sword, the void of the heavens seemed filled with countless luminous forces, layers of flames as if piercing straight into the depths of his primordial spirit Dao heart, rushing to sever it.

This is a divine Dao sword, and it seems to contain a special profound mystery of the great Dao of heaven and earth, targeting the selfish thoughts deep within the primordial spirit's consciousness; if such thoughts exist, that golden light likely cannot be doubled.

Zhang Jian's gaze swept forward, seeing only a layer of intense divine light appear before him, purple-yellow divine light rippling into a torrent surging forward to collide with the opponent.

This is a second-rank divine technique, Heavenly Dao Tremor.

Under the support of the minor accomplishment of the State and Altars Emperor's authority, this second-rank divine technique, upon instant release, resembled a surging tsunami of intense divine might.

Boom boom boom!!

In the depths of the void, it seemed as if countless terrifying roars exploded, as if the great Dao of heaven and earth were severed by this force, rebounding and rushing straight toward this fire-attribute true immortal, as well as the earth-attribute and wind-attribute true immortals beside him.

In an instant, the three true immortals felt their primordial spirit consciousness struck layer upon layer by terrifying divine might storms, their primordial spirit consciousness sinking into vast chaos.

Zhang Jian coldly observed this scene.

The gap between these three true immortals remains considerable.

Having fused with the 'Heart of Dimensions' extraordinary treasure, his own State and Altars Emperor authority minor accomplishment, this power directly reaches the third rank.

The Water Official Emperor once said, when the State and Altars Emperor authority is initially accomplished, one is nearly invincible among heavenly immortals.

And when the Emperor's authority reaches minor accomplishment, it is sufficient to suppress heavenly immortals and above, the Taiyi immortals.

Even if these three true immortals wield primordial powers, they would not be his match.

Although he has not yet used the true divine Dao authority of the State and Altars Emperor.

Merely a second-rank divine technique 'Heavenly Dao Tremor' was enough to immobilize the other three Ji family true immortals; Zhang Jian then raised a hand and fiercely grabbed toward the forms of those three Ji family true immortals.

……

In the void above, within a subspace, a figure surrounded by countless bright yellow dragon qi, imperial aura, resembling a earth-yellow rising sun, the immortal Dao principles' radiance at this moment violently expanded, his gaze fell upon a green-robed Daoist before him, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Qingyuan Daoist, please make way! If they encounter trouble, it will be no good for the Ji family or the Tongshan Dao lineage; we will only suffer mutual loss!"

Qingyuan Daoist heard this, his eyes flashing with a hint of cold indifference.

"Ji Ning Daoist, I am of a violent temperament and bad temper; do not force me to act! Bullying the small with the great is best avoided as well!"

After a slight pause, Qingyuan Daoist glanced downward again.

"Moreover, to a certain extent, I am also protecting you!"

"Protecting Your Excellency?"

Ji Ning's expression froze; he glanced downward with his eyes, a hint of sneer appearing in his gaze.

The Xia Emperor below, with the body of a primordial spirit true monarch, facing four opponents alone is already astonishing.

He does not believe the other party can still handle him, this Ji family heavenly immortal old ancestor.

His attainment of the Dao can be traced back to the middle ancient era, not something those true immortals can compare to.

"Of course, if you do not believe me, you may also try!"

Qingyuan Daoist said this, and indeed actually cleared a path.

And below, the four Ji family true immortals had already been enveloped by Zhang Jian's palm, seized and sealed within his hand.

Ji Ning's brow twitched slightly, about to erupt, but in an instant, the corner of his mouth curled into a smile as he proactively stood before Qingyuan Daoist, blocking his form.

"Qingyuan Daoist, even if I do not act, others will still act! Now you can only stand here and watch properly!"

Qingyuan Daoist heard this, the corner of his mouth slightly twitching with an odd expression, he laughed.

"You refer to that one from the You family? His fate today is unfavorable; he ought to fall here; I cannot save him!"

Seeing Qingyuan Daoist's words so firm, Ji Ning's eyes showed an oddity, and he also turned his gaze downward.

In the depths of the void, when Zhang Jian's palm enveloped the three great Ji family true immortals, someone seized this opportunity, a streak of intense golden light slashing from the void, a waterfall-like blade falling, as if severing endless time and space.

This strike reached extreme speed!

Zhang Jian's gaze merely glanced at it lightly, his eyes flashing with a hint of cold smile.

His entire body at this moment resembled a spacetime bubble, vanishing instantly from the spot.

At the original location, vast spacetime shattered.

The golden light passed through, as if erasing all heavenly and earthly vitality.

"White Emperor Metal Virtue Divine Sword!"

From the depths of the void came Zhang Jian's light voice.

After a moment, this voice carried a hint of light laughter.

"It's only a pity that you should not have, under any circumstances, pursued this sword light's aim and power by getting too close; otherwise, you might have been struck by you!"

The surrounding endless void seemed to roll with wind and clouds, vast star rivers appearing in the scattered starry sky.

In the depths of the starlight, a figure surrounded by an unmatched sword intent, a golden-robed Emperor slowly emerged from within, his body's sword intent surging and dissipating, as if cleaving the heavens and earth, the surrounding vast starlight, after flowing through countless strands of golden light, resembled starlight, life completely taken away, letting his majestic sword intent become even more terrifying.

This is an Emperor, an Emperor who wields slaughter and war, a heavenly immortal Emperor.

Likewise, a cultivator of the Sacred King Great Dao.

Moreover, a powerful Emperor who has attained the heavenly immortal body.

In the depths of the firmament, at this moment Zhang Jian's figure appeared, his body surrounded by purple-yellow auspicious clouds and misty qi spreading like an ocean, his divine might vast, his eyes light as he gazed upon this Emperor in golden robes.

He smiled lightly.

"You should be the heavenly immortal of the You family; you have the qualification to leave your name here!"

"Report your name; this is your final dignity before your fall!"

Zhang Jian slowly raised his hand; deep in his palm, the purple-yellow divine Dao authority began to surge forth, the State and Altars golden light enveloping the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and State Altars, the entire mountains, rivers, and state altars as if transformed into a terrifying divine Dao golden mountain.

That white-robed Emperor's face was cold, at this moment he held a golden divine sword in his hand.

This is also a Son of Heaven Divine Sword, obviously one of his natal cultivation swords, its power surpassing that of a second-rank Divine Dao immortal treasure.

But the white-clad Emperor was horrified to discover that beneath the terrifying Divine Dao golden light, he was instantly unable to move, the terrifying pressure crushing down, his sword-swinging posture suddenly freezing, his vast and magnificent celestial immortal cultivation utterly unable to shake that terrifying Divine Dao golden mountain, in an instant his form was struck by that towering golden mountain between heaven and earth, his form completely submerged by that terrifying Divine Dao golden mountain.

Boom boom boom!!

Beneath the golden mountain, only part of the sound of heavenly laws colliding, exploding, even collapsing could be heard.

The Divine Dao golden mountain merely trembled slightly for a moment, then fell utterly silent.

This change, witnessed by two magnificent figures deep in the void, also made their scalps tingle.

Qingyuan Daoist watched this scene, his eyes also showing some ripples.

The many second-generation ancestral masters of the Tongshan Dao lineage knew that Zhang Jian bore the mandate of the Son of Heaven Emperor.

But looking at his current appearance, in a short time Zhang Jian's Son of Heaven Emperor mandate seems to have made considerable progress again.

Although the application of Divine Dao techniques is primitive, it cannot be resisted by overwhelming force.

Directly pressing down, he squeezed Yu Lian Wutian Xian's body into a meat patty.

At this moment, Qingyuan Daoist's gaze fell upon the Ji family celestial immortal before him, and he smiled, saying.

"Ji Ning Daoist, you say, have I been boasting?!"

At this moment, Ji Ning's expression was grim, but his gaze fell upon Zhang Jian, examining him up and down; if he had not been mistaken, that magnificent Divine Dao golden mountain was respectively a manifestation of a Divine Dao Emperor's mandate.

Only a Divine Dao Emperor's mandate could completely suppress the Divine Dao mandate of a dynastic Son of Heaven, subduing a celestial immortal.

This Great Xia Emperor actually wields the mandate of a Divine Dao Emperor.

If one knew this Great Xia Emperor wields the mandate of a Divine Dao Emperor, how could the Ji family dare to abduct a bride, why would they offend him!

Ji Ning drew a deep breath, his gaze falling upon Qingyuan Daoist.

There was some complexity in his eyes; he also understood why the Tongshan Dao lineage acted so recklessly, openly beginning to expand.

If the Ji family gave birth to a Divine Dao Emperor, they would also seize the opportunity, directly beginning to expand.

Having a Divine Dao Emperor backing them, ruling over a divine continent, would not be excessive.

But if such a thing fell upon another great power, it would probably be a misfortune.

To live in the same era as a Divine Dao Emperor, how unfortunate.

Ji Ning's pupil light changed.

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind; after a moment, he glanced at Qingyuan Daoist and said.

"Please, Qingyuan Daoist, find a way to preserve the four true immortals of my Ji family; my Ji family is willing to pay a high price to ransom them back!"

He slightly clasped his hands, seeing Zhang Jian's gaze come upon him, instantly his form turned into a streak of earth-yellow light, vanishing in place.
