When the final heavenly tribulation descended, the hundred miles beneath Nan Zun had already turned into scorched earth. He rose against the tide, dispelling the last tribulation with an extremely overbearing manner. A surging primordial spirit power emanated from Nan Zun, causing everyone's expressions to change dramatically.
"Today, I, Cang Lan Nan Zhou, enter the Divine Transformation stage. I shall slay a Divine Transformation True Immortal to pay homage to my master. Which of you two will it be?"
Nan Zun, wielding the might of the heavenly tribulation, strode forward, standing before Ju Que True Immortal and Qin Yun, his gaze haughty.
"Such spirit! But you have just entered the Primordial Spirit realm. How dare you challenge us?" Ju Que True Immortal did not take Nan Zun seriously, but the current situation was not advantageous for their Ju Ling Hall.
Although Zhang Fan was only in the Nascent Soul stage, with his complete mastery of rules, he possessed combat power at the Divine Transformation level.
Meanwhile, Dong Ji True Immortal stood by, watchful, never missing an opportunity to heavily wound their Ju Ling Hall.
"I will face you." Qin Yun understood that the current situation was not suitable for him to make a move, but as the most dazzling figure of this era in the Shattered Star Domain, achieving such accomplishments after only a century of cultivation, he naturally possessed great pride.
Facing Nan Zun's provocation, he had no reason to back down.
"Good!" As soon as Nan Zun finished speaking, his figure transformed into an afterimage and he charged at Qin Yun with unparalleled speed. Nascent Soul cultivators with lower cultivation could barely see his form, feeling as if he had teleported.
Qin Yun clenched his five fingers and threw a punch at the void. The two collided, Nan Zun's figure abruptly stopped, while Qin Yun was sent flying dozens of miles in their initial exchange. An extremely powerful energy storm spread outwards from Nan Zun.
"I never imagined that Nan Zun not only possessed peerless dao techniques but had also cultivated his physical body to such a degree," Qin Yun said in a low voice, stabilizing himself and staring at Nan Zun with solemn eyes.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw that Nan Zun's body had grown a few centimeters taller. His sleeves were torn by the coiled dragon's grip on his arm, revealing skin of golden red, exuding an aura of supreme, overbearing power.
"The Crimson Gold Emperor Body. It seems to be quite good," Zhang Fan said with a smile, observing the scene.
"When it comes to physical bodies, we in Ju Ling Hall have never feared anyone!" Qin Yun stepped into the air, and his body suddenly grew taller, transforming into a nine-zhang tall Ju Ling embodiment in the blink of an eye.
This was the Ju Ling Hall's kingly body technique, the Nine-Zhang Ju Ling Body!
A faint smile appeared in Nan Zun's eyes. He had naturally heard of Ju Ling Hall's kingly body technique. However, his Crimson Gold Emperor Body was inherited from Zi Wu Immortal King and was a genuine emperor body technique. How could a mere nine-zhang Ju Ling Body dare to compare?
"Again!"
The two figures became illusions, fighting once more. Each collision of their physical bodies produced low, heavy sounds, as if striking the hearts of the onlookers, their souls involuntarily drawn in as if experiencing it firsthand.
Some weaker Nascent Soul cultivators dared not continue watching. The fusion of their physical bodies and the dao made them feel as if they were within the battle, their minds unable to bear it, on the verge of spitting blood.
Although Qin Yun's talent was high, his cultivation time was ultimately too short. Furthermore, the Nine-Zhang Ju Ling Body of Ju Ling Hall indeed had a significant gap compared to the emperor body technique. Even though he had cultivated both body refinement techniques to perfection, after a few rounds, Qin Yun was starting to be unable to endure.
Ju Que True Immortal's indifferent gaze flickered with worry. He naturally understood the situation in the arena. Although Nan Zun had only just broken through to the Divine Transformation realm, his physical body was no less inferior to a Primordial Spirit realm expert. Moreover, during his breakthrough, the rules of the dao had surpassed the ninety-thousand-dao mark, and the density of his magic power was not much weaker than Qin Yun's. If the battle continued, Qin Yun's chances of winning were very low.
However, he dared not intervene rashly at this moment, because he could sense that Dong Ji True Immortal and Zhang Fan's auras had already locked onto him. If he made any move, he would surely be attacked by both of them.
"Such a powerful physical body!" Xue Mo Jiao, now in human form, stood beside Zhang Fan, his round eyes fixed on the two battling figures. Each of their collisions made his beast blood boil, making him wish he could join the fray.
However, he ultimately had some self-awareness. Although his Blood Dragon Body Refinement Technique had now reached the minor accomplishment stage, few in the Nascent Soul stage could harm him. However, compared to Nan Zun and Qin Yun, he was still far behind.
"What's there to envy?" Zhang Fan said with a smile, shaking his head. "As long as you cultivate the Blood Dragon Body Refinement Technique to the great accomplishment stage, your combat power will not be weaker than either of them."
Xue Mo Jiao's plump face immediately fell. To reach his current cultivation, he had swallowed countless spiritual pills and elixirs. He had even consumed an immortal medicine in the Great Luo Realm. Yet, he had only reached the late stage of minor accomplishment in the Blood Dragon Body Refinement Technique. To cross the threshold of the great accomplishment of the sacred body, he did not know how many resources it would consume.
"Don't worry. This is not the Wu Shan Star Domain; resources are much richer here. If there's an opportunity, I'll refine a batch of Immortal-grade Blood Spirit Pills for you," Zhang Fan said.
Xue Mo Jiao nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, realizing that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
"Master, can third senior brother kill that Qin Yun?" Lin Hao Tian asked with great curiosity.
"Defeating him is easy, killing him is difficult," Zhang Fan replied, shaking his head.
In the brief moment Zhang Fan was chatting, Qin Yun had completely fallen into a disadvantage. His physical strength was not even half as good as Nan Zun's. The fact that he could resist for so long was due to his deeper magic power.
"You can force me this far, having just entered the Divine Transformation realm. You truly are Nan Zun." Qin Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Despite his body sustaining considerable injuries, his fighting spirit remained high.
"I had intended to save this divine ability for that old scoundrel Dong Ji. Since you insist on attacking, then come and test the might of this divine ability!"
"Seventh-grade divine ability, Heaven's End Boundless Seal!" Over ninety thousand dao rules within Qin Yun surged into his palm. As he unleashed his divine ability, his hand seemed to transform into the dao, condensing a palm seal that stretched a hundred miles. The immense power of the dao crushed space layer by layer, causing the dark space and the myriad domains of the starry sky to overlap, making space appear chaotic.
"It's actually a inherited divine ability of the Boundless Dynasty, Heaven's End Boundless!" Dong Ji True Immortal's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. He marveled at the power of the Heaven's End Boundless Seal, and was even more alarmed that Qin Yun had obtained the inheritance of this divine ability.
Although the Heaven's End Boundless Seal was only one move within the Heaven's End Boundless divine ability, having obtained its inheritance at least indicated that Qin Yun had gained the recognition of the Boundless Dynasty, which was a very dangerous signal for their Wan Shan Sect.
"A divine ability, you say? I have one too!"
Nan Zun's face turned cold. The vast rules of the dao within him erupted, transforming into a giant fist seal, which he hurled towards the palm print.
As the two collided, the entire world fell silent. The space within a hundred-mile radius turned into nothingness, and the two involuntarily fell into the dark space.
