Golden Core battling Nascent Soul!
Chen Changsheng was not at all intimidated by his opponent. Although it was a battle across realms, he was confident that his foundation was stronger than Zhao Li's.
The two unleashed their Daoist techniques and domains, engaging in a fierce battle in the heavens and earth.
The booming sounds of their Daoist techniques triggered the protective formation of Taiping City, causing countless cultivators in the city to look up and discuss the events with a clamor.
"Taiping City would like to invite everyone in the city for a chat."
At this moment, Yuan Rao's true energy surged as she raised her hand to grab the ten thousand disciples of the Holy Land.
The massive hand of true energy blotted out the sky, like dense dark clouds enveloping everything. An invisible force sealed the Holy Land disciples, rendering them unable to move. The Holy Land elders hidden in the shadows immediately took action to stop her.
In the backyard of the Dao Treasure Pavilion, Luo Liuxi flipped her slender hand, using her own strength to forcefully contend against the four Holy Land elders hidden in the shadows.
Boom!
A burst of sound suddenly rang out, and the space shattered, revealing a patch of deep purple nothingness.
The Holy Land disciples did not daze off. Although this was completely different from what had been planned, since the two sides had already started fighting, their reactions were extremely quick.
Ten thousand figures scattered in the sky, and Daoist technique rainbow lights fell like shooting stars, forming a super-large formation to suppress Yuan Rao.
"Interesting. I just came out of the secret realm, and someone is already causing trouble in my Taiping City. You guys are out of luck."
Suddenly, a crisp voice came over.
Nie Qing, who had just finished exploring the secret realm, flew out, arriving from the Fourth District to the First District in the blink of an eye. Her Refinement Void aura pressed down like a heavenly pillar.
Relying solely on the pressure of her true energy, she caused the giant formation formed by the Holy Land disciples to shatter!
Ten thousand figures fell from the sky at the same time, slamming heavily against the barrier of the city's protective formation, causing ripples to spread out.
The expressions of the four Holy Land elders all changed drastically.
One of them hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, misunderstanding! We are from the Xuantian Holy Land. We only want to seek justice for the Lan family. There's no need to escalate this to a life-or-death situation."
If they didn't speak up to dissuade her, Taiping City would definitely throw them into the dungeon with its domineering attitude.
They really didn't expect that a dignified Refinement Void expert would casually come out, and that there was another great power who had blocked their Nascent Soul pressure!
At this moment, the elders finally understood why Taiping City was called a dragon's pool and a tiger's den by many sects.
The strength of this city's foundation was silently approaching that of a cultivation holy land!
Four consecutive cracking explosions rang out, and the Dharma Idol true bodies that the four Holy Land elders had just condensed were directly shattered by the palm. Their bodies were struck as if by a heavy blow, crashing into the formation barrier. The overwhelming force shook them, causing them to spit blood and their eyes to turn white.
A Refinement Void expert suppressing Nascent Soul only needs one palm!
The Holy Land elders had deep foundations and were top experts in the same realm.
However, Nie Qing, who came from the ancient immortal lineage, also possessed an ancient inheritance that was not inferior to the Holy Land's.
No matter how powerful the four Holy Land elders were, they could only be suppressed by the absolute gap in realm.
"Little friend Changsheng, do you need my help?"
Nie Qing asked with a relaxed smile, transmitting her voice through true energy.
Seeing that Chen Changsheng, who was in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, was fighting evenly with Zhao Li, who was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, she did not disturb their enjoyment.
The light of the swimming dragon halberd brushed past Chen Changsheng's side. The battle halberd waved out the phantom of a savage dragon divine elephant, and one foot shattered the swimming dragon.
Phoenix True Fire and thunder beads surrounded him. Every halberd strike from Chen Changsheng could unleash power comparable to that of a Nascent Soul expert, making it difficult to distinguish between him and Zhao Li, who was an army of one.
The five elements of chaos evolved into all things in the world. Countless Zhao Lis stepped out from the domain, wielding hundreds of magical artifacts, their Daoist techniques exquisite and unparalleled, forming a ten-directional encirclement and ambush.
Whoosh!
The golden-red Phoenix True Fire ignited the sky for a hundred miles, and the blood god lightning light condensed thunder beads and spread out, destroying all of Zhao Li's clones, magical artifacts, and Daoist techniques.
The two figures flew like long rainbows to a height of thousands of feet. The battle halberds collided and bounced off each other several times, the phenomena collapsed and shattered, and the Daoist techniques clashed and canceled each other out.
"There's no need to trouble Senior Nie. I can handle this last person myself."
Chen Changsheng replied, transmitting his voice through true energy. At the same time, he gripped the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Heaven Halberd and charged forward again.
A bright light of excitement flashed in his brilliant golden eyes. Every attack accurately struck the weak points of Zhao Li's Daoist techniques.
He cleverly broke through Zhao Li's Daoist technique defenses several times, and even destroyed his magical artifact battle halberd.
Zhao Li was beaten back repeatedly, holding the bloodied battle halberd magical artifact. His arms trembled slightly from the force, and his face was filled with shock and shame.
At this moment, he finally experienced the frustration of having his magical artifact suppressed by a magical treasure.
But what made him feel the most ashamed was that Chen Changsheng was still maintaining the aura of the Golden Core stage until now, as if he really was just a Golden Core cultivator.
As a direct disciple of the Xuantian Holy Land, he was actually suppressed by the other party with the cultivation of the Golden Core stage!
"This is impossible! Could it be that his cultivation technique inheritance is above my Holy Land's?"
Zhao Li doubted the foundation of the ancient immortal lineage's inheritance for the first time. Otherwise, why could the true energy of the Golden Core stage match the true energy of the Nascent Soul stage?
This Daoist orthodoxy force that had suddenly appeared seemed even more mysterious than what he had discovered!
Bang!
In a moment of astonishment, Zhao Li was suddenly struck by a fist shadow. His body spun and flew out, scattering the clouds for a hundred miles around.
Chen Changsheng used the Void Technique to quickly catch up, and a halberd strike unleashed the phenomenon of an ancient divine elephant roaring to the sky. True fire and blood lightning intertwined, wreaking havoc and sweeping towards Zhao Li.
Zhao Li roared and counterattacked, but the battle halberd in his hand was trampled by the divine elephant's foot. With a loud boom, the magical artifact exploded into fragments, and his chest was pierced by the divine elephant's foot, directly falling and crashing into the formation barrier.
How similar was this scene!
Back in the secret realm cave dwelling, he was also defeated by Chen Changsheng in this way.
The same unstoppable momentum, the same crushing tyranny!
That defeat plunged him into a period of self-doubt. He remembered Senior Brother Zhang Cheng's comfort, and he also remembered what his senior brother had said to him.
"Junior Brother Zhao, the Holy Land's cultivation technique inheritance is very powerful, but there are even stronger inheritance Daoist techniques in the cultivation world. If we don't want to be defeated by such inheritors, what we need is not a stronger inheritance, but to know how to be opportunistic."
"Opportunistic? What does Senior Brother mean by that?"
"The meaning of opportunistic is naturally to walk multiple paths at the same time. Relying solely on the Holy Land's inheritance, we will never be able to defeat those with stronger inheritances. If we want to walk a different path, we can only start with the demonic and heretical inheritances."
These words startled Zhao Li: "Senior Brother Zhang, we can't touch demonic and heretical techniques. We are a righteous Holy Land, why would we need such flawed inheritances?"
Zhang Cheng's expression was calm, and he smiled and shook his head: "Wrong. There are no flawed inheritances. The demonic and heretical are by no means evil paths. There are only cultivators who have embarked on evil paths, and there have never been flawed Daoist techniques."
"Ah? Then isn't the technique of enhancing oneself by killing people an evil path?"
"We don't necessarily have to cultivate this type of technique. We can take its essence and discard its dross, or we can cultivate demonic and heretical techniques that don't harm people, similar to blood-burning techniques, lifespan-burning techniques, etc. Do you think this type of Daoist technique belongs to the demonic and heretical?"
Zhang Cheng's words were like demonic sounds, leaving an indelible impression in Zhao Li's mind.
