Chapter 486 Zhang Yuanzhu: Come, let's fight! (4000)

Four days later.

The crimson figure, sitting cross-legged on the mountain, opened and closed its eyes, looking at the ruins of the Jade Sun Temple.

A slight smile played on his lips as he slowly rose to his feet.

"It's finally here!"

As expected, the moment Jade Sun True Lord returned, he came to this place, proving that his waiting of several days had not been in vain.

In a moment of contemplation, a figure draped in a Taoist robe, with an ancient and simple face, appeared at the edge of the world.

The Taoist priest held a jade spear, the tip of which gleamed with a purplish-gold crimson color, dazzling and brilliant.

The next instant, he stepped into the ruins, scanning his surroundings with sadness in his eyes.

"Ah!"

"Rise and fall, prosperity and decline, are the natural order of things. Why be saddened? Besides..."

A detached voice echoed through the ruins.

Wow~Wow~
The grand formation appeared, and then the light barrier faded, revealing a majestic mountain and a tall, slender figure standing atop it.

Zhang Yuanzhu took a step forward and appeared a thousand miles away from Yu Yang Zhenjun.

He reached behind him, took down the Great Wilderness Halberd, and uttered each word clearly:
"When you pass away, you will surely meet many fellow disciples on the road to the Yellow Springs."

Yu Yang Zhenjun looked at the young man who had appeared, his eyes showing astonishment, which then turned into a chilling killing intent. The jade spear in his hand hummed and vibrated, and the purple-gold blood color at the tip of the spear became even more eerie.

"You think that by killing a wounded fellow Daoist you can act without restraint, ambush a True Monarch, and disregard the Boundless Palace."

The Taoist priest lowered his gaze, looking at the blood-red tip of the spear, and let out a cold laugh:

"You are ignorant of the vastness of the heavens and the profoundness of the great path. This spear did not kill you in the past, causing such trouble. Today, it will surely send you to reincarnation."

As the words drifted by, he raised his arm, his spear level with his shoulder.

Boom~
The heavens and earth trembled, and beams of holy light rose from all directions, converging at the tip of the spear. Prayers and hymns of praise transcended time and space.

Jade Sun True Lord's heart burned with murderous intent as he stared intently at Crimson Shadow.

This is the ruins of the Yuyang Temple. To ambush someone here is simply courting death!
A thousand thoughts surged in his mind, all of which transformed into the most resolute killing intent.

With a slight retraction of his arm, he suddenly thrust forward!
stab~
The spear tip was sharp, carrying the will to pierce through everything. In an instant, it pierced through time and space, broke through the void, and charged towards the Crimson Shadow with the faith of billions of living beings praying and kneeling in worship.

Zhang Yuanzhu remained calm, his body slightly tilted, and all tangible and intangible energies—spiritual energy, dust, and air—trembled and then began to boil.

It was as if thousands of suppressed volcanoes were violently shaking, about to erupt.

Just as space, void, and spiritual energy were about to explode, Zhang Yuanzhu raised his arm and halberd.
cut!
With a single cleaver strike, countless blades flashed in response.

These sword lights, whether domineering, compassionate, cold, or ruthless, constantly leap and crisscross, colliding with each other, evolving into a grand spectacle of birth, death, and creation, resembling a world of sword lights.

A spear and a sword, a pillar of faith and a sword that illuminates the world, the two attacks crossed the sky in an instant and collided fiercely.

Blades flashed and spears gleamed, clashing hundreds or even thousands of times in the blink of an eye.

An endless wave of air was generated at the point of collision, mixed with streaks of light, sweeping across the vast wilderness and raising clouds of dust.

Subsequently, space continued to collapse, ripples spread through the void, revealing chaotic cracks.

stab~
After another ear-piercing collision, the jade spear was retracted, and the blade's light dissipated.

The two remained standing in the same spot, facing each other, neither moving an inch.

Jade Sun True Lord's eyes were cold, and his face was solemn.

He had just used the power of the Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers Faith to suppress his opponent, but he was still unable to do so.

Even though I had overestimated my opponent, I still found that I had underestimated him when we actually fought.

Zhang Yuanzhu narrowed his double pupils, staring at the notch in the halberd blade.

Stab it!

The Great Wilderness Halberd pierced the earth.

"This boring game should end now!"

Zhang Yuanzhu inhaled and exhaled, stretching his body.

With just a trivial movement of getting up, boundless, scorching blood energy dissipated from his limbs and bones.

Its spine, adorned with a dragon, emitted roars and cries, as if countless thunderbolts were exploding.

The young man's hands hung naturally at his sides, and the Taihao Stone rose from his bosom, hovering above his head, blessing him.

He gazed calmly at True Lord Yuyang.

"I'll kill you within ten moves!"

boom!
With a single step, the vast, powerful, and supremely yang purple-gold blood energy, mixed with a will to fight against heaven and earth, formed a tide that could destroy everything.

With the second step, a fierce wind howled, snow fell heavily, and red lotuses emerged from the blood and qi, dazzling and beautiful, captivating all living beings.

The third step is taken, the sun rises in the east and the moon sets in the west, and all things are born in the cycle of the sun and moon, encompassing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

As the fourth step was taken, thunder crisscrossed, containing boundless principles and truths. A majestic and sacred ancient gate rose from the ground, exuding an aura of suppressing all living beings and possessing an invincible spirit.

With the fifth step, the ancient black and white mirrors leaped out from the void, where life and destruction intertwined, and yin and yang rotated.

With the sixth step, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, in five colors, were generated, surging and transforming into a white tiger, a blue phoenix, a qilin, and a red dragon, standing in the five directions, roaring to the sky.

With the seventh step taken, a roar that shook the heavens and earth appeared, and a crimson dragon coiled around the mountain of blades. The crimson dragon had a ferocious mouth holding a battle blade, and its sharpness was astonishing.

With the eighth step, the crimson robe fluttered, and dense Buddhist scriptures appeared, radiating rays of Buddhist light, carrying a compassionate heart to save all sentient beings.

Boom boom~
Zhang Yuanzhu's body strode forward amidst endless jade light.

With each step he took, his will, blood, and magical power became even more intense and powerful, like oil being poured over a raging fire.

Various strange phenomena erupted around him. He took eight steps forward, and driven by his fighting spirit, his magical power, blood energy, and will surged several times over.

"Come on, take this punch."

The cold, chilling voice echoed within the ruins, in the heavens and earth, and in the void.

At this moment, even Jade Sun True Monarch changed color and looked at that crimson figure.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanzhu took his ninth step.

Nine times nine equals one!

All will, all magic power, all malevolent energy, and all vital energy converge into one.

Rumble!
With boundless power erupting and countless spells flowing, Zhang Yuanzhu finally unleashed a punch.

This punch contained all the power he had cultivated over the past twenty years; it was the culmination of his entire training!

This punch was the sharpness he had forged through endless battles and countless trials.

This punch will surely defeat the opponent; it is unstoppable.

For the first time, Yu Yang Zhenjun felt such a clear and intense danger. His face trembled, and his eyes were filled with horror.

"Zhang Yuanzhu!!!"

The Taoist looked up to the sky and roared, and the Golden Elixir of Tao appeared and immediately ignited.

Magical power, Dao principles, vital energy, spiritual awareness, faith—all kinds of power and means are used to bless the body.

Step out, raise your arm.

Draw your gun!

Its sharpness was fully revealed, reaching its peak, and time seemed to flow backward with the swing of the gun.

But it's no use!

The fist flashed brilliantly, its power unmatched.

In an instant, it shattered the sharp edge, knocked away the jade spear, extinguished the golden elixir, and pressed against the True Lord's chest.

Jade Sun True Lord was about to speak.

Zhang Yuanzhu grinned as his fist landed with a resounding crash.

boom!
A figure flew out horizontally, blood flowing out like a waterfall, staining the void, and white shattered bones scattered everywhere.

Jade Sun True Lord knelt on one knee in the void, his chest a bloody mess, his face torn open to reveal his jade-like white bones, and the void before him was filled with ravines stretching for thousands of miles.

"You thief, kill him!"

The Taoist roared and struggled to get up.

A fist imprint, having already traversed the void, slammed into his chest once more.

Dang~
With a clang of metal clashing, flesh and blood were annihilated, the chest exploded, and the internal organs turned into a mass of minced meat.

Jade Sun True Lord staggered backward, his eyes filled with bloodlust and resentment. He saw his end!

"Wuliang Palace will not lose, they must kill them..."

Another palm descended from the sky, breaking through layers of obstacles and landing on the Taoist's forehead.

bang~
The head was destroyed, and all life in the flesh was instantly extinguished. The figure in the Taoist robe vanished like smoke and dust.

Jade Sun True Lord has fallen!
Zhang Yuanzhu retracted his fist, stood up, and smiled freely, slowly uttering two words:

"Three moves!"

bang~
The Taihao Stone above his head shattered and scattered down.

This secret treasure, obtained from Qingyangzhai, could no longer withstand repeated use and was completely destroyed.

He extended his palm and gently beckoned.

A jade spear flew from a corner of the void and landed in the palm of the hand.

buzz~
The jade spear trembled violently and struggled, but was held tightly by five fingers.

The young man lowered his gaze, carefully examining the long spear magic weapon.

With a light tap of the fingertip, lines appeared from the fingertip and spread across the spear shaft, gradually calming the struggling jade spear.

With a flick of his hand, the magic weapon was put away.

At the same time, he carried the Great Desolate Halberd on his back, and all the blood and debris in the void were collected.

His body transformed into a beam of blue light and traversed the void.

After a stick of incense.

boom! boom!
Two figures appeared in the depths of the void, their expressions cold as they gazed at the devastation.

A burly figure held a writhing, refining corpse in his hand.

"Too late!"

With a forceful pull of his palm, the Foundation Establishment stage corpse was reduced to a clump of foul blood, which slipped through his fingers.

Sensing the dissipating aura of Jade Sun True Monarch, Thousand Tribulations True Monarch felt a sense of absurdity and murmured to himself:

"Since we received the message from Daoist Yuyang, we broke through the disguise of the corpse and used all our strength to rush here. At most, it has only been the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. How could we have perished like this?"

To surpass a major realm with the cultivation level of a True Person and defeat a Golden Core True Monarch in such a short time is unprecedented.

It was as if a myth was unfolding before his eyes; even with the composure of a Golden Core True Monarch, he felt somewhat dazed.

With a wave of his hand, the flowing blood, the mess on the ground, and all traces of the battlefield were wiped away.

"No need to think too much, no need to hesitate, we just need to find the other party immediately and kill them, because..."

Mingxin Zhenjun gazed in the direction the young man had departed, and uttered each word slowly and deliberately:
"This may be the only chance for Wuliang Palace."

As the words fell, True Lord Qianjie regained his senses and lightly nodded his forehead.

"Although that person is exceptionally talented and has formidable combat power, he could not have killed a Golden Core True Monarch without any effort. He must have been exhausted and even severely injured."

After a pause, True Monarch Qianjie looked at the burly figure beside him, his eyes filled with anticipation:

"Moreover, Brother Dao has profound attainments in the Golden Core realm, and he will surely succeed."

Mingxin Zhenjun remained silent, offering no definite response, but simply stepped forward and vanished into the void.

Only a whisper was transmitted, echoing in the ears of the Thousand Tribulations True Monarch.

“Fellow Daoist Qianjie, we have no choice but to kill and fight.”

Call ~
The Thousand Tribulations True Monarch exhaled a breath of turbid air, clearing his mind of all distractions, and followed the burly figure in pursuit.

……

Two days later.

Rumble~
The vast sky, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, shattered like a mirror, revealing a patch of pitch black.

A crimson figure crashed through the void storm and fled at lightning speed.

Zhang Yuanzhu looked at the figures chasing after him, especially the burly one, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

His opponent's cultivation level far surpassed that of ordinary Golden Core True Monarchs, making him the strongest among the many powerful individuals he had fought.

They were caught up with within half a day of leaving the Yuyang Temple, and the fiercest battle ensued.

In the midst of his thoughts, his face blurred, and the mask of the Azure Phoenix appeared, then turned into a blue liquid, which gathered behind him and transformed into wings.

Each feather is lifelike, emitting a faint bluish light.

Its wings are spread and flapping.

fly!
The Crimson Shadow was even faster; in less than a breath, it had already appeared tens of thousands of miles away.

With a flap of its wings, the figure vanished, moving at an incredible speed.

"Where can you escape to inside the ancient cliff mountain?"

The cold voice echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.

A being shrouded in gray mist, raised its hands, formed hand seals, and relentlessly attacked forward.

At the same time, a middle-aged man, dressed in a moon-white robe, with a robust build, a chiseled face, and an incomparably resolute expression, stood in the void, gazing at the fleeing crimson shadow.

The moment that gaze fell, space shattered, the void rippled, and two invisible divine swords pierced into the youth's mind.

Dangdang~
Amidst the clanging of metal, the nineteen-story glazed pagoda trembled violently under the sword light before rising from the ground.

Click!Click!
The glazed pagoda pressed down, crushing the invisible divine sword.

Zhang Yuanzhu's speed did not slow down in the slightest, and he continued to escape.

Three figures, one in front of the other, sped south.

They briefly clashed during that time, resulting in a major battle that injured him, but it was only a minor injury and did not have much of an impact.

As time passed day by day, the three supreme experts unleashed their full power, turning thousands of miles of mountains and rivers into ruins due to the aftershocks of their battle.

Boom~
Another deafening roar.

Zhang Yuanzhu staggered backward, his gaze falling to the broken bronze halberd in his hand, which he then tossed aside.

He stopped fleeing, stood on the ground, and looked at the two figures chasing after him.

Raise your hand, spread your fingers, and gently pull; a dark gold short stick appears in your palm.

He took a step forward and swung the Shattering Staff.

In an instant, the surging airwaves that had swept in vanished into nothingness.

Everything around was disappearing: the wrinkled void, the shattered space, even the great sun in the sky was vanishing.

Before anyone knew when, an endless, dark golden mountain range stood in the void, filled with wind, snow, and thunder, with several large stars circling around it.

This mountain range is like a pillar supporting the void.

Click!

The base of the dark gold pillar snapped with a deafening roar, causing mountains to tilt and press down horizontally.

The wind and snow howled, the thunder was blinding, the stars fell, and the pillars of heaven collapsed.

The vast void trembled, layers of radiance and spiritual energy pushed apart, leaving only the deepest blackness and the crashing dark gold pillar between heaven and earth.

"The villain has run out of tricks, kill him!"

The Thousand Tribulations True Monarch roared to the sky, his magical power surging within his dantian, mixed with the Dao principles, and bursting forth.

Layers of gray mist bloomed from all around, spreading to every corner of the world, and the raging winds, tsunamis, earthquakes, and falling stars unfolded one by one.

At this moment, man-made disasters, natural calamities, and all sorts of worldly calamities emerge and head towards the dark golden pillar.

The two attacks crossed the void in an instant and collided.

Sizzle~ Boom~
Natural disasters obliterated the great star, gray mist and celestial pillars clashed wildly, and the void cracked open with numerous fissures.

Before the outcome could be determined, a large hand had already passed through all the radiance and struck the dark gold pillar.

Click~click~
In an instant, the dark gold pillar shattered.

A thick gray mist filled the air, accompanied by a hand that pressed down rapidly towards the crimson shadow.

Zhang Yuanzhu's black hair danced wildly, his red robe fluttered in the wind, his face remained calm, and his eyes showed no emotion as he quietly watched the attack.

At the same time, streaks of light came from behind, from the ends of the earth, like comets piercing the sun, and struck the palm and the gray mist.
