Chapter 277: My Master is an Immortal!
In the gap between speaking, Zhang Xuan stepped lightly, and then, amidst the shocked gazes of many figures, he stepped out of the Killing Array of Heavenly Venerable Lingbao in one stride.
"This?"
Even Gai Jiuyou widened his eyes, and then Zhang Xuan smiled lightly and stepped back inside once more.
That he could achieve this step was, of course, not by relying on his existing abilities, but by relying on the power of the Chat Group.
As long as he was not in the midst of the most extremely dangerous battle, he could calmly walk between the Universe and the heavens and earth.
Just now, he had used the Chat Group to walk outside the Killing Array, and then walked back in.
Of course, this method could also be used in moments of crisis, but it should be used as sparingly as possible.
The reason he revealed it at such a moment was mainly to give the many figures present confidence; if they really couldn't win, they could still walk out.
By then, it would be the Wanlong Emperor fighting six.
With a light touch, Zhang Ming stood once again within the array formation.
And the aura of the Wanlong Emperor at this moment grew increasingly terrifying, with eternal, undying Immortal Light blooming within his body.
Terrifying power surged and flickered within his body, then illuminated eternity.
His voice was simply like the ice of a billion years, cold to the point of making one feel terrified.
"I will make you regret it, regret this one decision."
"I will let you know what a truly flawless Ancient Emperor is like, I will make you remember today for all eternity!"
Zhang Xuan responded to this only calmly.
"I actually hope you can leave a deep impression on me, but in reality, your previous performance has disappointed me greatly."
At such a moment, Zhang Xuan remained calm and composed, while that one listened, trembling all over, unable to stop himself from wanting to kill.
But he also had to admit that the figure in front of him was indeed the strongest non-Enlightened One he had ever seen; he had truly broken the record of ten thousand years.
Even a Great Accomplishment Saint Body would not be formidable to such a degree.
He did not want to say more to Zhang Xuan, and with all his might, he brought his own blood, Qi, and state to the true, absolute peak.
The ten thousand Daos of the Universe were all resonating with him, the heavens and earth were trembling, and his former Dao was returning bit by bit.
The heavens and earth were roaring incessantly, as if unable to bear this power that had reached its limit.
And this nearly invincible power seemed to have broken some kind of special ceiling, also allowing the Wanlong Emperor to once again possess unparalleled confidence.
He stood within the array, as if he had become the center of the heavens and earth, while Zhang Xuan at this moment still did not choose an offensive posture, remaining calm and composed.
Seeing the Wanlong Emperor full of confidence, he only replied calmly and coldly.
"Have you already felt yourself recover to the peak? You have not recovered to this degree in all of eternity; I estimate you still need some time to adapt, and I will give you this time."
The battle just now not only crushed the Wanlong Emperor's confidence but also strengthened Zhang Xuan's confidence incomparably; he discovered that facing such a powerful figure head-on was really not much of a problem, and he didn't even need to attack with all his might.
The expression of the Wanlong Emperor grew increasingly cold, and his gaze seemed to have transformed into two Heavenly Blades, wanting to behead Zhang Xuan.
But in this moment of extreme mockery and words, he did not speak; instead, he truly and earnestly stopped.
Feeling the surging, billowing power within his body, he then shrank that power bit by bit, letting himself return to the true, absolute peak.
Having reached the level of an Ancient Emperor or Great Emperor, he had already fought a hundred battles and ten thousand wars; he had long since ceased to be disturbed or touched by too many external things.
At this moment, the anger in his chest was raging, but he was not in a hurry to strike, only continuously adjusting himself.
Lies do not hurt people; the truth is the sharp blade.
Saying more now is just meaningless trash talk; rather than arguing over words, it is better to decide the outcome on the battlefield, and when that time comes, whoever wins is the victor of the words.
Zhang Xuan nodded with satisfaction; the Hun-tun Qi surging around his body grew even more abundant.
His whole person seemed to have merged with this ancient array, and then, in the next moment, the battle began silently.
The battlefield erupted with the most brilliant light, and the most terrifying power exploded within this array, turning into invisible ripples that rushed in all directions.
Then, it was blocked by the most powerful array in the entire Zhetian Ancient History, dissipating bit by bit.
Gai Jiuyou, watching this battle from the outside, had light constantly flickering in his eyes, his battle blood nearly boiling.
Even the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, who had returned to a youthful state, was very silent at this moment.
From ancient times to the present, never had anyone been seen who, before becoming Enlightened, could contend head-on with a peak Great Emperor, and even in such a battle, not be at a disadvantage but instead be locked in a tit-for-tat struggle for a long time.
Only in the most ancient Mythological Era was there a legend of a non-Enlightened Chaos Body fighting a Heavenly Venerable to the death; that Heavenly Venerable killed the Chaos Body, but was himself severely injured and perished not long after.
But this was more of an ancient rumor, and no one knew the specific circumstances.
But today, all of this has truly been confirmed; there is actually someone who can contend head-on with a supreme figure at a time when they are not yet Enlightened.
And it is not like the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, who can contend with a Great Emperor for a short time without falling behind, but a long-term battle where he is not at a disadvantage at all.
"He has not yet reached the level of Alternative Enlightenment, and he can achieve this step without going a step further on the original foundation; I am not as good as him."
Seeing this, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body shook his head repeatedly, sighing from his heart.
After the Saint Body reaches Great Accomplishment, it is said to be able to challenge a Great Emperor.
It is indeed capable of clashing with a Great Emperor, but it is only a challenge.
If one were to fight a Great Emperor who is in their peak state for a long time, one would still be defeated.
After all, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body is ultimately not a Great Emperor; the Saint Body is a step further than the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven realm only after true Great Accomplishment.
In terms of magic power and Dao cultivation, it cannot compare to a Great Emperor; in terms of the physical body, it is not inferior, but the magic power and Dao cultivation are ultimately lacking, and with the Heavenly Heart Imprint covering the entire Universe, a Great Emperor's Dao suppresses all other Daos.
Compared to a peak Great Emperor, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body is still a cut below.
But at other times, if an Ancient Great Emperor or Ancient Emperor in a Forbidden Zone undergoes Extreme Sublimation, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body can stand against them head-on, dragging out that period of time to let the most terrifying moment pass.
In this way, one can suppress the Dark Turmoil; it can be said that the Dark Turmoil can be suppressed entirely by the blood of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and the Great Emperor.
But in this current era, everything seems to have been reversed and has ushered in change.
"I was truly too arrogant, even saying I would wait a hundred years for him; even now, I am no match for him."
Outside the Four Immortal Swords of Heavenly Venerable Lingbao and the array, the more Gai Jiuyou watched, the more astonished he became, until finally, he could not help but shake his head.
On the battlefield, Zhang Xuan's Dao cultivation was still slightly lacking compared to his own, but in terms of head-on combat power and understanding of the Dao of heaven and earth, he was already completely not below him.
What is even more terrifying is that Zhang Xuan's physical body completely surpasses his.
He could not help but look toward the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, and the Great Accomplishment Saint Body also nodded: "Judging from his physical state, it is already completely not inferior to a Great Accomplishment Saint Body, and in some parts, it even surpasses it."
Facing the transcendence of a later generation, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body did not appear sad; instead, he acknowledged it earnestly.
A look of joy and excitement even appeared on his face.
"With his state, I think that brother on Sheng Ya will also rest in peace after death, using his body and residual Origin to help suppress the Dark Turmoil.
"Making up for his greatest regret, I think this is our common wish."
The Great Accomplishment Saint Body looked very earnest, while the other few figures felt slightly uncomfortable.
"Shouldn't this war be the most terrifying? Suppressing the Dark Turmoil has always been the most bloody and terrifying; I was already prepared to risk my life, and being able to injure one Supreme in this lifetime would be enough to be proud of. Is this scene right now a bit off?"
Laozi and Shijiamouni stood to one side, looking at each other, doubting their lives; they came here to witness the most terrifying turmoil in eternity, not to watch the show here.
Bearing the belief of certain death to come here and help, and this is what they get to see?
Before they could adjust their mindset, they heard Gai Jiuyou carefully comment: "Far beyond common sense, his magic power is almost endless, it is simply incredible. Does the Great Accomplishment Saint Body have such vast, ocean-like magic power?"
The Great Accomplishment Saint Body shook his head, his gaze also very strange.
"I have never seen such a figure. The magic power of a Great Accomplishment Saint Body is vast like an ocean, but compared to a true Great Emperor, there is still a certain gap.
"In the later stages of continuous combat, one would fall into a disadvantage, but he has been using endless magic power from start to finish, using Forbidden Chapter-like ultimate arts every single time.
"Even for an Ancient Great Emperor, using the most terrifying ultimate arts to attack continuously would also have a certain amount of pressure and might be difficult to sustain. I have never seen anyone like him."
Gai Jiuyou was a bit skeptical, and after staring at the Great Accomplishment Saint Body for a long time, he nodded: "It should be so. If the Great Accomplishment Saint Body were this powerful, the Dark Turmoil would have been suppressed by you all.
"But how is it done? The Origin he absorbs is not exaggerated to this extent. Could it be the special nature of the Ruthless Great Emperor back then?"
They could not help but think of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art again, but they had also seen the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art; it was indeed a supreme technique that seized the Creation of heaven and earth, but it could not be strong to this extent.
Any scripture created by an Ancient Great Emperor is marvelous and peerless, not inferior to the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art.
"More of the uniqueness is in his primordial spirit. His primordial spirit merges with this heaven and earth, faintly harmonizing with the Heavenly Heart Imprint. The endless power between heaven and earth actively merges into his body.
"If one must compare, a Great Emperor uses one Dao to suppress ten thousand Daos, using their heart to replace the Heavenly Heart, while he has no heart, or rather, has billions of hearts merged into the entire heaven and earth; any Great Dao of heaven and earth actively supports him.
"A very strange thing, so strange that it is difficult for me to evaluate and understand.
"To make a simple comparison, I have not seen that Chaos Body from the Mythological Era and have no way to draw an analogy, but the Wushi Dadi who rose against the heavens eighty thousand years ago is somewhat similar to him.
"His physical body is invincible in heaven and earth, and at the same time, his magic power is endless. His state of physical body and magic power is somewhat similar to an Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus."
The two were discussing continuously, while on the battlefield, Zhang Xuan was already continuing the most glorious and terrifying events from before.
Bare-handed, he contended head-on with an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon, not falling into a disadvantage at all.
Originating from the most supreme Origins of multiple worlds, it forged his invincible body in heaven and earth.
It can be said that as strong as the ceiling of physical bodies in the Zhetian World is, Zhang Xuan's physical body is just as strong; it is not inferior to any existence or figure.
This is still his current state, without having fully stepped into the Great Emperor realm.
If he were to step into the Great Emperor realm, in terms of physical combat alone, he would absolutely not be inferior to a Chaos Body or an Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus, and would even surpass them.
This situation is extremely special throughout eternity; no one can compare.
On the battlefield, the Wanlong Emperor had already felt this gap, and his face was already filled with disbelief.
His forbidden ultimate arts attacked Zhang Xuan repeatedly, but it was like a breeze brushing his face, making it difficult for him to suffer any real injury.
Zhang Xuan is not as good as him in terms of combat techniques and mastery of the Great Dao of heaven and earth; he had this realization from the very beginning.
But Zhang Xuan's growth speed is extremely fast; the moves and techniques he uses, Zhang Xuan can learn in the blink of an eye, and can progress rapidly in the process, invincible.
At the beginning, he relied on combat experience and forbidden ultimate arts to contend with Zhang Xuan head-on.
But halfway through the fight, he was already unable to attend to anything else; he simply could not compare.
The difference was too great; the opponent's physical body was stronger than his, his magic power was completely not inferior to his, and his combat experience and combat techniques were also not inferior to his. This situation was already impossible to fight.
It is unknown whether they fought for a thousand rounds or a hundred rounds, but when the final, most peak, and most brilliant attack was unleashed, the Wanlong Emperor could not help but let out a long sigh in his heart.
He knew he had lost, because after his Extreme Sublimation, he could no longer stabilize his realm and was falling downward.
Yet the opponent was still as vigorous as a dragon, and what was even more terrifying was that the opponent had already reproduced all his attack methods and even his Dao Fruit rules, finally using his own attack techniques to bombard him.
"How can there be a figure like you in the world?"
"You are absolutely not a normal person."
The Wanlong Emperor let out a long sigh, his blood and Qi could no longer be held back and were constantly collapsing downward.
After Extreme Sublimation, the requirements for blood and Qi and for oneself are too high.
When he fell from that realm, he could no longer bear it; he would have slipped away even without Zhang Xuan continuing to attack, and was even heading toward destruction. His lifespan did not support his Extreme Sublimation.
"Who exactly are you? Where do you come from?"
"Is there really a method to become an Immortal in the secret treasury of the Undying Emperor? Is there really an Immortal in the world?"
At such a moment, the Wanlong Emperor was unprecedentedly open-minded, and even his constantly tense expression relaxed.
The Wanlong Bell in his hand had many cracks on it; that was cracked by Zhang Xuan's bare hands during the attack process.
Zhang Xuan himself has the most supreme materials, but unfortunately, Zhang Xuan upgrades too fast, and his God-Marked Purple Gold Tower cannot quite keep up with the rhythm.
To this day, it has barely stepped into the ranks of Quasi-Emperor Weapons; to be able to clash with a true Extreme Dao Ancient Emperor Weapon, it still needs a period of gestation and polishing.
"Immortal?"
Facing the Wanlong Emperor, who was full of disappointment, Zhang Xuan smiled lightly.
He did not even need to explain; a five-colored phoenix flew up from the outside, landed on Zhang Xuan's shoulder, and spoke softly.
"My master is an Immortal, and he comes from the Immortal Domain!"
