Chapter 330

At this moment, Fang Yu summoned forth a Dao Artifact, instantly shocking everyone present.

A Dao Artifact is no trivial thing—even a demon marshal, son of a Demon Emperor, did not possess one.

Zhao Xuanyi held a very high status within the Taiyi Sect and owned several Top-Grade Magic Treasures, yet he did not possess a Dao Artifact.

A Dao Artifact, a Dao Artifact—that is an instrument of attaining Dao and ascending to immortality. When a magic treasure attains Dao, it is no trivial matter. Once a Dao Artifact appears, Longevity Secret Realm cultivators will rush to seize it—how could this be taken lightly?

Now Fang Yu directly unleashed a Dao Artifact, instantly subduing the entire scene.

"This Fang Yu of the Yuhua Sect actually possesses a Dao Artifact? No wonder he dared speak so boldly, claiming he would subdue Zhao Xuanyi. If I had a Dao Artifact, I'd be just as arrogant—no, even more so!"

"Indeed, a single Dao Artifact can directly reverse the outcome of a battle. I see Zhao, the Taiyi Sect elder, is formidable, but faced with a Dao Artifact, he's helpless—perhaps he'll truly be captured. But if that happens, the Taiyi Sect's face will be utterly shattered."

"The Yuhua Sect has truly produced a flood of talent lately: one Fang Han, at only 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities, slew the Seven-Night Demon Lord at 6th Stage and seized a Top-Grade Magic Treasure. And this Fang Yu of the Yuhua Sect is even more formidable—he possesses a Dao Artifact! Truly overwhelming!"

"Now let's see how Zhao Xuanyi handles this."

Many disciples buzzed with chatter, their words reaching Zhao Xuanyi's ears, causing the expert who had cultivated a Golden Core to turn his face solemn, sensing grave trouble.

Indeed, he now found himself trapped between advance and retreat—he never imagined a mere 5th Stage of Divine Abilities disciple would possess a Dao Artifact, instantly turning the tide against him.

If he were truly captured by Fang Yu and taken to the Yuhua Sect for judgment, he'd rather explode his Golden Core right here.

Just as Zhao Xuanyi's expression flickered between dark and light, Fang Yu moved—he did not unleash any great Dao technique, but simply poured his magic power into the Xuantian Zhenmo Pagoda, the Dao Artifact. Instantly, countless arrays within the pagoda activated, surging forth torrents of pure yang energy, as if a realm of pure yang had materialized in the void.

This realm descended directly, as if purifying all corruption in heaven and earth.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Zhao Xuanyi's face changed drastically—he raised his hand, and countless black sun storms surged upward, revealing at last the true power of a Taiyi Sect Golden Core expert.

The black storms carried the aura of calamity; a single gust could obliterate countless lives and shatter all magic treasures.

This was the Taiyi Sect's supreme Dao technique: the Three Calamities and Nine Trials, a peerless art said to master all calamities in heaven and earth.

Yet beneath Fang Yu's Dao Artifact's suppression, it proved utterly useless—the so-called Black Sun Wind Calamity vanished instantly upon meeting the boundless pure yang energy.

In a realm of pure yang, what place is there for wind calamities or such ill omens as black suns?

All calamities must be destroyed!

The Black Sun Wind Calamity was shattered in an instant.

The pagoda continued its descent; the terrifying pure yang energy and infinite array mysteries, the moment they pressed down, locked Zhao Xuanyi's position with unbreakable restraint, filling the 7th Stage of Divine Abilities, Golden Core Realm expert with boundless pressure.

"Fang Yu of the Yuhua Sect has truly clashed with the Taiyi Sect's Zhao Xuanyi! Zhao Xuanyi doesn't seem to be a match!"

"Naturally. What is a Dao Artifact? When its power is fully unleashed, it rivals a Longevity Secret Realm eternal giant. Zhao Xuanyi may be a legendary Golden Core prodigy, but before this Dao Artifact, he's still far inferior."

"Indeed, indeed. If such a Dao Artifact were wielded by a Longevity Secret Realm expert, he could crush Zhao Xuanyi instantly. But Fang Yu is only at the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heavenly Man Realm—he cannot unleash the artifact's full power. Even so, Zhao Xuanyi is in grave danger."

The onlookers watched with intense curiosity—this was a clash between a Dao Artifact and a Golden Core expert, between disciples of the Yuhua Sect and the Taiyi Sect. They had not witnessed such a confrontation in a long time.

"Fang Yu's cultivation and magic power are astonishing! I thought my recent journey granted me great fortune—I even acquired a Top-Grade Magic Treasure—and thought myself remarkable. Yet Fang Yu possesses a Dao Artifact!"

Fang Han, beside Fang Yu, watched this scene and revealed an expression of surprise.

He had believed his journey had granted him many fortunes, allowing him to catch up and surpass others—but now he realized he still fell far short of this senior brother.

Especially this senior brother's magic power seemed even more terrifying than that of a 7th Stage of Divine Abilities, Golden Core Realm expert—truly beyond his imagination. How was this even possible?

"Pity Senior Brother Fang's actions are still too gentle—he dares not kill Zhao Xuanyi. If I had such power, hah! I'd just secretly snuff out that Zhao Xuanyi and other scum!"

Fang Han thought bitterly in his heart.

"Tsk tsk, Fang Han, you're becoming more like a Demon Emperor every day."

From within Fang Han's body, the voice of Yan, the ancient dragon, sounded. "Your Fang Yu senior brother is indeed formidable. Though he's only at the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heavenly Man Realm, his magic power exceeds eight or nine hundred thousand. Think about it—ordinary Heavenly Man Realm experts possess only ten thousand Xuan Huang steeds. Yet he's cultivated so much. Of course, even with such strength, he cannot kill a Taiyi Sect disciple in broad daylight."

Yan cackled within the Huang Quan Map. "If he killed Zhao Xuanyi right here in public, even your Yuhua Sect's Zhang Sect, Feng Baiyu, couldn't protect him. So Fang Yu won't kill him—but by humiliating Zhao Xuanyi like this and bringing word back to the Yuhua Sect, the Elders will be delighted."

"That's true."

Fang Han nodded.

Killing a Taiyi Sect disciple in public would leave no one able to protect Fang Yu—even if the Taiyi Sect dropped a Divine Artifact upon the Yuhua Sect's head, the Yuhua Sect would have no recourse. But if Fang Yu captured Zhao Xuanyi and brought him back to the Yuhua Sect, it would cause no major scandal and would instead earn face—a good thing.

But if it were him, he would one day kill every last one of those Longevity True Persons, Great Dao True Persons, Zhao Xuanyi, and others—he'd already slain three Taiyi Sect True Disciples, so what was one more?

"Damn it! Am I truly forced to explode my Golden Core to prove my innocence today?"

As the crowd buzzed, Zhao Xuanyi within the arena was locked in desperate struggle—the pure yang pagoda descended, nothing but overwhelming force crushing all techniques. Every method he employed proved useless; now only one final option remained.
