Chapter 265: The Defeat of the Three Transformation to Divinity Monarchs!

The 【Profound Universe Cave Heaven Divine Light】 is Douzhan Tianjun's strongest Supernatural Power.

When he unleashed this full-strength strike, condensed with peerless might, the air within a radius of over ten miles was filled with light so thick it turned into substance; like molten gold and liquid silver, the flowing light spread and surged everywhere, causing the void to twist and shift.

The other two Heavenly Monarchs clearly understood that this was because the strike unleashed by Douzhan Tianjun had already surpassed the limits of the Transformation to Divinity realm, its power infinitely approaching a strike from a Return to Void Virtual Immortal, causing the space to twist and deform; only such a strike could possibly seal and pierce the void to annihilate that enemy who was suspected of mastering the power of the void!

However.

Piercing the void and slaying the powerful enemy did not happen after all; in the next moment, everyone clearly saw that when the twisted, tearing divine light struck that blurry black-and-white figure, it suddenly twisted and rippled, and then, just like ordinary light reflected by a mirror, it shot back in the opposite direction along its original path!

"Not good! Scatter!"

Never having expected such an inconceivable event to occur, Douzhan Tianjun let out a long, shocked and angry roar, and he and the other two Heavenly Monarchs instantly scattered; almost simultaneously, the Profound Universe Cave Heaven Divine Light he had unleashed was instantly reflected back, slamming into the Eight-Part Pagoda!

An infinite, immeasurable, scorching golden light burst forth in the sky, illuminating the entire world in an instant.

The Eight-Part Pagoda burned fiercely like a boundless fireball, huge enough to occupy the entire sky, casting light ten thousand times more ferocious than the sun's rays upon the world, as if it intended to burn everything with light and heat, evaporate everything, and reduce the entire world to nothingness!

The sky was instantly ignited by the divine light, burning entirely into a boundless sea of fire; for a time, the world had no sky above and no ground below, with heaven and earth indistinguishable. Especially where the surface was affected, the earth cracked, all trees and life were instantly destroyed, tens of millions of tons of soil and rock were evaporated in an instant, and the surrounding air waves, like ten thousand monsters, roared and rushed in all directions, sweeping across a hundred-mile radius with an incomparably brutal and ferocious posture!

Amidst such a shocking scene, the two Heavenly Monarchs, Zhulong and Lingjian, both groaned, their figures retreating again and again under the impact of such terrifying power, like a lone boat in a violent storm.

As for Douzhan Tianjun, his situation was far worse than the other two; after the Eight-Part Pagoda, which was connected to his mind, was struck by the reflected divine light, he immediately let out an extremely suppressed groan, and blood spilled from his mouth and nose simultaneously as his entire body retreated rapidly and wildly like a shooting star!

"Fellow Daoist Douzhan!"

Sensing such a wretched situation in an instant, the other two Heavenly Monarchs were both horrified.

After all, Douzhan Tianjun was among the very best of the eleven Heavenly Monarchs of the Immortal Alliance, with only one or two others who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him; if such a figure was defeated so miserably upon the first encounter, how terrifying were Lu Yuan's Supernatural Powers and methods?

"I am unharmed!"

Amidst the urgent shouts of the other two Heavenly Monarchs, Douzhan Tianjun had already steadied his figure, and in an instant, he activated several top-tier Talismans with different powerful effects, shouting with a livid face:

"The two of you, be careful! This person seems to possess the ability to shift stars and change positions; he can reflect every technique and Supernatural Power directed at him!"

As a top-tier cultivator at the late stage of Transformation to Divinity, his discernment was naturally far beyond that of ordinary people; he understood what had just happened immediately, and from this, he felt an indescribable horror.

After all, as Douzhan Tianjun, he had experienced countless battles and life-and-death struggles in his life, but since achieving success in his cultivation, he had never experienced the bizarre situation of his techniques and Supernatural Powers being reflected and used against him by an enemy—especially when what was reflected was his most formidable Profound Universe Cave Heaven Divine Light, which even cultivators of the same rank found difficult to withstand head-on!

This Supernatural Power was cultivated by gathering the baleful Qi of the Five Elements and supplementing it with the power of star-light and primordial magnetism, taking a full three hundred years to master; its power was peerless, invincible, and capable of breaking anything. When used at full strength, it already approached a strike from a Return to Void cultivator.

In all previous battles, Douzhan Tianjun had always been successful whenever he used this Supernatural Power, but he never imagined that today, this power would be used by an enemy to attack him!

The Profound Universe Cave Heaven Divine Light was his strongest Supernatural Power, and the Eight-Part Pagoda was his life-bound Dharma Artifact connected to his mind; even though he had just commanded the pagoda to absorb the divine light in an attempt to neutralize it, it still caused significant damage to both the artifact and his mind.

"As expected of a late-stage Transformation to Divinity cultivator, to be able to see the clues at a glance."

Several miles away, Lu Yuan revealed his figure from the void, smiling lightly:

"Do you all still wish to continue testing Lu's methods?"

Without a doubt.

The one who reflected Douzhan Tianjun's Supernatural Power back was naturally another Supernatural Power he had illuminated within these ten years: 【Returning Wind and Reversing Fire】.

【Returning Wind and Reversing Fire】: To make the blowing wind roll back, and to make burning flames shrink back. It possesses the supreme power to make the development of things regress.

This Supernatural Power is the prerequisite for "Reversing Heaven and Turning Back the Sun"; although it cannot make time reverse or flow backward, it can make all things regress in their development. Its most basic manifestation is the ability to shift stars and change positions, reflecting any technique or Supernatural Power directed at oneself, using the enemy's own methods against them!

Under such a bizarre Supernatural Power, although he was incomparably shocked, Douzhan Tianjun had experienced great storms and waves, and he possessed his own pride and dignity; it was impossible for him to lose his fighting spirit just like that, so he immediately shouted coldly:

"Again!"

"Everyone, use your Dharma Artifacts to attack the enemy!"

Having said that, he took a deep breath and suddenly threw out a silver-glittering Talisman. This Talisman seemed to have the ability to seal space; invisible fluctuations instantly swept across a radius of dozens of miles, causing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and even the entire void, to solidify and freeze as if it had turned to ice.

This was the Fifth Tier top-grade divine talisman, the Heaven-Suppressing Talisman, which possessed the ability to seal the void. It was originally used to stabilize secret realms and cave heavens and was extremely precious, but at this moment, it was used to prevent Lu Yuan from merging into the void again.

At the same time, he pointed his finger, and the damaged Eight-Part Pagoda instantly disintegrated, transforming into eight different forms of Dharma Artifacts—a bell, a drum, a ruler, a halberd, an axe, a furnace, and others—which then formed a formation to seal the heavens and lock the earth, all together strangling toward Lu Yuan.

The Eight-Part Pagoda was originally combined and refined from eight Dharma Artifacts; at this moment, the Eight-Part God-Slaughtering Formation formed by their separation possessed powerful might not inferior to the Cave Heaven Divine Light, and perhaps even exceeded it.

Seeing Douzhan Tianjun strike fiercely again, the two Heavenly Monarchs, Zhulong and Lingjian, although they knew their cultivation and Supernatural Powers were far inferior, could not just watch idly; they immediately surged their Dharma Power and unleashed their most powerful strikes.

One could see the majestic and magnificent Five Elements Wheel, with its myriad phenomena, flying out from the center of Zhulong Tianjun's brow once again.

This time, the wheel was wrapped in runes, with countless blurry shadows flickering and changing; at times, it was misty clouds and brilliant spiritual light, with pavilions and flying eaves, appearing to be a celestial scene of a heavenly palace; at other times, it became a place of desolate mountains and evil waters, shrouded in gloomy mist, mysterious and bizarre, as if it had reached a ghostly netherworld; at other times, it presented a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with thousands of troops and horses, blades and slaughter, like a Shura killing field; at other times, it was bustling and noisy, with dim lights and beautiful men and women, the myriad states of the world, appearing to be a scene of the human realm.

Under such changes in the shadows, even the surrounding space showed various strange changes under the powerful fluctuations of Dharma Power, with twisted light moving and then crashing toward Lu Yuan;

As for Lingjian Tianjun, his vast Dharma Power was entirely converted into sword essence and poured into his life-bound spirit sword.

The Dharma Artifacts used by Transformation to Divinity cultivators were basically Fifth Tier Profound Heaven Spirit Treasures, with heaven-shaking power; his Heaven and Earth Returning Spirit Sword was even more so. As he unleashed it without reservation, a light sword of an unimaginably huge size had already stood majestically before him; the blade was like a cliff standing a thousand fathoms high, towering and majestic, spanning heaven and earth, with peerless momentum, as if branding an insurmountable dividing line in the void, which even the most majestic and steep mountains in the natural world could not compare to.

Then, amidst a thunderous roar, this sword shadow, as huge as a mountain, severed the long sky and slashed down toward Lu Yuan's head!

The Pagoda Formation, the Five Elements Wheel, and the Heaven-Supporting Giant Sword.

In an instant, the void was sealed, and the attacks of the three Heavenly Monarchs, enough to overturn heaven and earth, struck in an instant; any Transformation to Divinity Heavenly Monarch facing such a situation would be powerless to save the day and would regret it on the spot.

However, to this, Lu Yuan only smiled lightly:

"As expected of Transformation to Divinity Heavenly Monarchs, your methods are heaven-shaking and your reactions are extremely fast, but it is a pity..."

Before the words fell, a vast and infinite, strange fluctuation, like the resonance and coordination of the heaven and earth universe, erupted from his body; immediately, whether it was the Pagoda Formation, the Five Elements Wheel, or the Heaven-Supporting Giant Sword, all offensive momentum was instantly reversed, and they counter-attacked toward the three Heavenly Monarchs in the opposite direction!

It actually happened again!?

Even though they were prepared, the three Heavenly Monarchs, seeing such a shocking scene, still changed color, never having expected that even when controlling their life-bound Dharma Artifacts to attack the enemy, they would still be rebounded; they immediately roared in shock and anger, their Divine Sense surging wildly, and while retreating rapidly, they barely managed to control their Dharma Artifacts, not causing the tragedy of hitting themselves.

However, Lu Yuan would not miss such a golden opportunity; as the three Heavenly Monarchs were desperately controlling their Dharma Artifacts, he raised his finger and pointed, his voice like a great bell:

"Freeze!"

Hum...

As the word "Freeze" drifted in the void, an indescribable power suddenly descended upon Douzhan Tianjun and the other two.

This power came without warning, bizarre and inexplicable; before they could react, they felt as if a vast ocean and a ten-thousand-fathom divine mountain were pressing down on them simultaneously. Under the effect of this terrifying pressure, their own Dharma Power and Primordial Spirit actually stopped flowing, as if their entire bodies and even the surrounding space had been completely solidified and frozen by an unprecedented power!

Not good!

In the void, the three Heavenly Monarchs stood frozen in place in shock and anger, their eyes wide open like mosquitoes in amber, completely solidified in a bizarre, murderous, and terrifying atmosphere, forming a silent picture that made one feel oppressed and suffocated.

An indescribable horror swept through their bodies and minds like a tsunami.

As Heavenly Monarchs of the Immortal Alliance, they could be considered top-tier figures standing at the peak of the cultivation world's cultivation and power pyramid; they had seen or heard of all kinds of cultivation methods, secret techniques, top-tier Supernatural Powers, and hidden rumors.

Yet they had never imagined that someone could seal their Dharma Power and Primordial Spirit with just a single word!

However, no matter how terrified the three Heavenly Monarchs were inside.

In the instant after they were frozen, within their only remaining normal field of vision, streaks of brilliant, intense sword light arrived, carrying boundless light and boundless sharpness as they burst forth one after another.

These two sword beams tore through the void, as if they were raging thunder and lightning controlled by a deity; all life along their path was extinguished, and everything that stood in their way was silently sliced, severed, and disintegrated.

At this moment, time seemed to slow down, and the scorching sword light occupied their entire field of vision; in the hearts of the three Heavenly Monarchs, they instantly felt a chilling, murderous intent that sought to destroy everything, as if they were about to be hacked to pieces in the next second.

At this moment, in a state of being completely frozen and solidified, the three Heavenly Monarchs were shocked and furious; the Douzhan Tianjun, who had the highest cultivation, erupted with his Divine Sense and Dharma Power simultaneously, finally breaking through that strange sealing force with a boom after a blink of an eye, yet in a battle of this level, a single instant was enough to rewrite the situation; the moment he broke through the seal, that ruthless, exterminating sword light also instantly pierced through his—and the other two Heavenly Monarchs'—Dharma Power defenses, flashing across their necks!

A stinging pain suddenly came from his neck; as the Douzhan Tianjun retreated rapidly in shock and anger, he reached out to touch it, only to discover that he had merely had his skin grazed and a few strands of hair cut off.

Sweeping with his Divine Sense, he saw that the Zhulong and Lingjian Heavenly Monarchs, who had not yet recovered their movement or normalcy, had also been slashed on the neck by the sword light, without their lives being endangered!

The gaze of the Douzhan Tianjun froze instantly, and for a moment, he even forgot to counterattack:

"You?!"

Although at their level, even having one's head severed was not enough to be fatal, and even if they abandoned their physical bodies, they could still exert most of their strength with just their Primordial Spirit.

But the physical body is a precious raft for crossing the world, and abandoning it would still be an extremely heavy price for them; the sword light from just now and the wounds on their necks proved that the opponent had had sufficient ability to take the opportunity to destroy the physical bodies of the three of them, yet for some reason, he had not done so.

Lu Yuan did not strike again, but stood in the void and laughed aloud:

"Very well, let us stop here. I have no ill will toward the Immortal Alliance, so the three of you should not continue to press me, how about that?"

The Douzhan Tianjun fell into silence, while the Zhulong and Lingjian Heavenly Monarchs had also broken through the seal of the Body Immobilization Supernatural Power, retreating in panic with ashen faces to the side of the Douzhan Tianjun.

The two of them knew clearly that if Lu Yuan had not shown mercy just now, their physical bodies would certainly have been destroyed, and it was not even impossible for their Primordial Spirits to have been killed on the spot; they immediately transmitted their voices in great shock:

"Fellow Daoist Douzhan, what shall we do now?"

"This person's Supernatural Power is earth-shattering and heaven-defying, completely exceeding the limits of the Transformation to Divinity realm; in my opinion, unless a Return to Void Great Ability takes action, I fear that even if all the Heavenly Monarchs of the Immortal Alliance were to come out, it would be difficult to do anything to this person!"

The three Transformation to Divinity cultivators—one early-stage, one mid-stage, and one late-stage—had not gained the slightest advantage while attacking together and had even nearly had their physical bodies severed; the Douzhan Tianjun no longer possessed that composure and arrogance, and said with a bitter tone:

"Fine, fine, Fellow Daoist's Supernatural Power is indeed peerless; we are no match for you. However, we cannot conceal the events of today and will report everything to the leader of the Immortal Alliance for him to decide."

"The leader of the Immortal Alliance, are you referring to the Return to Void Immortal Monarch?"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly upon hearing this:

"If that is the case, there is no need to trouble yourselves, because this senior seems to have already arrived here."
