Chapter 716: Resonance of the Golden Ring and Silver Disk, Siege by Four Nascent Souls

Qian Chen did not pay them any mind. He flipped the Dew-Gathering Silver Disk, and the mirror light condensed to its absolute limit.

As the jade-like lightning descended, Xu Shaoweng sensed a profound crisis—a terrifying chill emanating from the lightning. Seeing that he could not kill the Nascent Soul instantly, Qian Chen had transformed the Heavenly Capital Divine Lightning into Ice Soul Divine Lightning, intending to pierce through and suppress his Nascent Soul.

"Fellow Daoist, stop!"

The old dragon Danxi roared from afar, casting a cold, piercing gaze over.

Boom!

Qian Chen's cold light exploded, and the jade radiance rippled outward like a spreading wave, enveloping Xu Shaoweng. The Taiyin Ice Soul cold air was biting, carrying the aura of a primordial epoch where time itself seemed to freeze.

Wherever the jade light passed, Xu Shaoweng's Nascent Soul was frozen in a thin layer of ice, suspended within the cold radiance.

This time, "Returning Wind and Reversing Fire" could not take effect, because both great divine abilities acted upon time—one capable of reversing the flow of time, the other of freezing space. Their collision caused time and space themselves to slow down!

Suddenly, Qian Chen sensed a terrifying killing intent. He turned the Dew-Gathering Silver Disk in his hand to face behind him.

In the far eastern firmament, a strand of crimson-gold radiance descended. A golden ring, so brilliant it could not be looked upon directly, emerged from the clouds. It cast a golden glow that caused all spiritual energy in its path to burn silently, approaching with an unstoppable, majestic momentum.

The golden ring's radiance and the jade light from Qian Chen's silver disk intertwined. A strange resonance erupted between the two, Sun and Moon harmonizing; the instinctive resonance of the magic treasures instantly shook Qian Chen's hand.

The golden ring and silver disk's radiance intertwined, falling into a state of strange opposition and resonance.

This was clearly beyond Qian Chen's expectations, but it was exactly as the old dragon Danxi had anticipated...

Seeing this, Master Dayou sighed, "Fellow Daoist Qian of Louguan is in danger!"

Master Jiuchuan clearly agreed, sighing, "Although Fellow Daoist Qian was formidable for a moment, displaying four great divine abilities, shattering the Penglai starship, and forcing Xu Shaoweng to the brink of death..."

"But alas, there are simply too many people in the shadows who wish to be his enemy. Now that they have seen through him, Fellow Daoist Qian's magic power and cultivation base are not actually that strong; his dominance was largely due to the Dew-Gathering Disk in his hand and his formidable divine abilities!"

"To cultivate four great divine abilities as a single individual—such talent and aptitude are terrifying and awe-inspiring!"

The Fishing Dragon Elder also lamented, "It is just that cultivation base is the foundation after all. Once the Dew-Gathering Disk is stripped away, Fellow Daoist Qian will be in peril!"

Far away on a cold peak, Xie Jianjun stood tall, unhooking the gourd from his waist to drink. Beside him, the child-like Feng Xianzi shouted, "The Dragon Race has actually brought out the supreme treasure stolen from our human race—the Dew-Gathering Golden Disk! Oh no! There is one thing I forgot to tell Fellow Daoist Qian..."

Feng Xianzi's face changed drastically, and he said in a panic, "This is a matter known only to my Qiongquan Ancestor and the Dragon Race! The three Dew-Gathering Disks originate from the same source. If they oppose each other, they trigger a resonance between their seals, causing both magic treasures to become entangled and difficult to wield."

He looked at the indifferent Xie Jianjun beside him and suddenly rejoiced, "Right! There is still your Shaoqing Sect!"

"If the Dragon Race and the Fomen act shamelessly, naturally your Shaoqing Sect will stand against them!"

Unexpectedly, Xie Jianjun merely shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Qian has not sought help from my Shaoqing Sect, nor has he sought aid from the Zhengyi or Tai-shang Sects of the same lineage!"

"What?"

Feng Xianzi was stunned. He stammered, "Then... shouldn't the Shaoqing Sect have made preparations?"

"The East Sea Long Wang has blocked the gate of my Sect Master..." Xie Jianjun smiled calmly, holding his wine gourd and long sword. "We cannot block them while forbidding them from blocking us!"

"Then..."

Feng Xianzi's eyes widened. Xie Jianjun said righteously, "Xie is willing to die alongside you all..."

The Dew-Gathering Golden Disk—stolen by the Dragon Race in the final years of the Immortal Han, and long worshipped in the Hall of Sun-Worship in the Crystal Palace—finally appeared in the hands of the Nascent Soul Long Wang, Danxi.

It drew upon the radiance of the sun, unleashing a brilliant, blinding divine glow, forcing Qian Chen to use his silver disk to resist!

The old dragon Danxi let out a soft "Eh!" He had assumed Qian Chen's silver disk had not fully recovered. If it clashed with the golden disk, it would surely be suppressed. He had not expected the mirror lights to intersect, causing the pressure on his own golden disk to be no less significant.

The pressure on Qian Chen's side was even greater, likely because the silver disk was suppressing another magic treasure within!

"I did not expect Fellow Daoist Qian to have secretly refined the Dew-Gathering Silver Disk to perfection! Hmph! The three-year agreement—he certainly had his schemes..."

But Danxi was not overly worried. Now that the situation had turned, Qian Chen was trapped in a desperate plight. Once the silver disk was suppressed, the many Nascent Souls hiding nearby would seize the opportunity to strike, never again giving him the chance to suppress a Nascent Soul or act so arrogantly.

Besides the Dew-Gathering Golden Disk, he had the Hong Hong Sihai Mirror and two other magic treasures.

Furthermore, once Xu Shaoweng freed himself, he would be another Nascent Soul True Immortal, formidable and unstoppable! The Buddhist and Demonic sects were also watching like tigers eyeing their prey. Although everyone had their own ulterior motives, none would mind striking first to eliminate a major threat!

Seeing the Dragon Race's Nascent Soul Long Wang take action, Qian Chen remained unafraid. He raised the Dew-Gathering Silver Disk with one hand, standing firm like an immortal, refusing to retreat even half a step as he confronted them!

The jade disk, like the moon, supported the endless golden flames and divine radiance released by the golden ring!

The golden ring and silver mirror intertwined, gradually becoming entangled, showing signs of slipping out of Qian Chen's control.

Xu Shaoweng seized the opportunity to break free from the cold light of the Ice Soul Divine Lightning. His Nascent Soul shattered the frozen space and escaped in a streak of rainbow light.

He was furious, having been pressed in the face by Heavenly Capital Divine Lightning several times, brushing against the aura of death, and being beaten into a stray dog by Qian Chen in front of hundreds of millions of cultivators. This shame and rage burned in his Nascent Soul like true fire!

"Qian Chen! Your divine abilities are indeed excellent, but without the Dew-Gathering Disk, do you think you can still humiliate me?" Xu Shaoweng's gaze was sinister as he said coldly, "There are more than just me who want you dead! Blame yourself for being too arrogant in the overseas regions and offending too many people!"

The Long Long Wang Danxi coiled his thousand-foot-long body and tore through the void to descend.

He hung the Dew-Gathering Golden Disk on his horn, and his "Cloud-Riding and Mist-Driving" divine ability was a hundred times more magnificent than that of the lesser dragons!

The dragon tail stirred the clouds, the East Sea churned with giant waves, and the sky suddenly darkened... The vast and mighty Hong Hong Sihai seemed to be his true qi, giving a sense of endless, surging power.

In the distant horizon, Buddhist light appeared!

A golden-bodied Luo Han appeared in the sea of clouds. As the Buddhist light fell, it instantly turned the winds and clouds feared by the true dragons into peace...

The golden-bodied Luo Han did not speak, but within the thunderous Zen chants surrounding him, there was a hint of Vajra-like wrath, his feet treading upon raging fire!

Xu Shaoweng protected the remaining golden ship and, using the "Returning Wind and Reversing Fire" divine ability, quickly recovered some of his vitality.

Although he was severely injured, he could still exert sixty percent of his combat power, standing in the north and looking coldly at Qian Chen.

A man walked over the surface of the sea from the south. With each step, he traversed a thousand miles. A man in a green scholar's robe walked slowly, holding a seven-star long saber gathered from the Bai Hu's seven mansions. A golden aura surged, splitting the sea surface before the scholar.

It was Sima Shi, arriving with the magic treasure, the Bai Hu Saber!

"Li Er! Or should I call you Qian Chen? That day, your Nascent Soul was hidden within Li Er's body, clashing with me in Jiankang, winning him such a great reputation?"

"During the Jiankang Catastrophe, you struck against my Sima family's grand plan and killed my nephew Sima Yan just as he was about to attain the Nascent Soul realm. Did you ever think this day would come?"

"The Sima family are mere flies and dogs; what is there to be concerned about?" Qian Chen smiled calmly.

"I hope you can still maintain this arrogance at the end!" Sima Shi said coldly.

Four Nascent Souls, two magic treasures!

Each Nascent Soul True Immortal blocked one side, sealing all of Qian Chen's retreat paths, gathering a surging momentum, and pressing down upon him!

"Fellow Daoist Qian!"

Long Long Wang Danxi stirred up a thousand layers of clouds, his mighty aura pressing directly upon Qian Chen: "You have killed countless descendants of my Dragon Race. Today, you must face this tribulation. If you are willing to offer up the Dew-Gathering Silver Disk, perhaps you may still have a chance to attain the Dao in the future!"

"There is no such good fortune!"

Xu Shaoweng had recovered more than half, and he activated another layer of the starship's means. The intertwined restrictions of the shattered starship transformed into a divine armor that draped over him.

His originally weak aura suddenly became formidable, not inferior to any Nascent Soul.

He spoke more forcefully to Long Long Wang Danxi than before. If Qian Chen hadn't beaten him first, his combat power would have ranked in the top two among the four.

Xu Shaoweng looked at Qian Chen sinisterly and sneered, "This person acts without any scruples; leaving him alive will surely become a disaster. I want him dead!"

Long Long Wang Danxi frowned slightly, and after exchanging glances with the Buddhist Nascent Soul and Sima Shi, he tacitly agreed with Xu Shaoweng's words.

Although he had almost been killed by Qian Chen, at this moment, it was as if he were the one deciding Qian Chen's life and death. Out of respect for Penglai, the others also tacitly agreed with this statement.

Killing a direct descendant of the Daoist Sect would have endless repercussions. Since Penglai was willing to bear this karma, they were happy to see it happen!

Qian Chen had slaughtered too many true dragons, and Danxi actually had no desire to let him go...

The Fomen was even more delighted to eliminate a great power of the Daoist Sect. Moreover, there was a pretext, and someone willing to take the blame—why not?

"Within my Penglai, there is still a secret method that can strip away the great divine abilities cultivated by those of the Yang Spirit or Nascent Soul realm, turning them into Heavenly Capital True Talismans!" Xu Shaoweng sneered. But these words made Qian Chen's eyes turn cold, as he realized the source of the "Earth-Escaping Golden Light Talisman" he had used, and the life-saving fragment used by the other Xu family member.

"You have cultivated four great divine abilities; your talent is indeed astonishing. But soon, they will be the Heavenly Capital True Talismans I refine!"

Xu Shaoweng's eyes flashed with greed, and Long Long Wang Danxi also spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Xu, could you leave one for me?"

"This old monk is also somewhat interested!" The Buddhist great power also spoke: "Such a monster who slanders the Buddha and sheds the Buddha's blood should be suppressed and converted, falling into the Avici Hell forever..."

His Buddhist light was peaceful, but his words held not a shred of compassion!

Xu Shaoweng had no objections. He had made this statement precisely to win over the others and suppress Qian Chen.

Surrounded by the crowd, Qian Chen laughed loudly, unafraid.

The four Nascent Soul True Immortals suddenly attacked. The Bai Hu Saber split the sea, its sharp blade qi severing everything;

The Dew-Gathering Golden Disk descended with endless blazing sun divine light, suppressing the silver disk in Qian Chen's hand;

A Buddhist Great Seal struck Qian Chen's Nascent Soul across the three lifetimes;

And Xu Shaoweng, clad in divine armor, threw a punch carrying terrifying power, striking at Qian Chen's heart...
