Facing the fury of a group of Void Returning realm powerhouses, Zhang Fan remained calm. His eyes, devoid of any emotion, regarded the assembled crowd indifferently as he spoke, "Since you have made a move against me, you must be prepared for death. This is just the beginning; enjoy the rest."
As Zhang Fan's words fell, he vanished from his spot. With a mere thought, he appeared before an Opening Realm cultivator, his blood-red long sword slashing down fiercely, obliterating more than half of the cultivator's life force in a single strike.
"This child has achieved profound mastery in the Great Dao of Space; spatial freezing can no longer restrain him. Project your internal world to suppress this area," a Dao Origin realm powerhouse, witnessing Zhang Fan's teleportation-like spatial movement once again, shouted loudly.
"The suppression power of your internal world cannot stop me. Unless you evolve your internal world into an internal universe, you can only be slaughtered by me today," Zhang Fan declared, completely unfettered. His method of descent by thought was far more mystical than spatial translocation, and the suppression power of internal worlds could not affect him at all.
He had already constructed a perfect internal world. Though still in its evolutionary phase, it was no weaker than the internal worlds of Dao Origin realm powerhouses. Evolving an internal world into an internal universe was something only those at the level of a Dao Integration Immortal King could achieve.
In a mere few breaths, Zhang Fan had moved over a hundred times. Each appearance was sudden and unexpected. The Opening Realm cultivators could not withstand Zhang Fan's attacks; over a dozen had already perished at his hands.
The spirit of the blood-red immortal sword let out a joyous cry. The essence blood of Opening Realm cultivators was a great tonic for it. After continuously absorbing the essence blood of over a dozen powerhouses, it had reached the zenith of an immortal treasure. All it needed was for Zhang Fan to fuse his own comprehended Daos into it, and it would immediately become a Grand Dao Secret Treasure.
As time passed, the cultivators in the arena continuously fell, all being collected by Zhang Fan into the Myriad Beast Cauldron. Many cultivators initially held the conviction to kill Zhang Fan, but as they watched their companions fall one by one, their fighting spirit gradually waned, and a desire to retreat began to emerge.
It was unclear which cultivator initiated the action, but suddenly, one flew towards the edge of the arena. This move triggered a chain reaction, with more cultivators fleeing the battlefield, shouting, "We have no need to fight him here. This child has not only killed cultivators from our Nine Crest Star Domain but also many from the Violet Firmament Star Domain. As long as we leave this Evil Buddha Immortal Venerable's arena, the Glazed Immortal King and the Vast Firmament Immortal King guarding outside will surely not let him off."
In the blink of an eye, the remaining dozens of Opening Realm cultivators all fled the battlefield, leaving only over a dozen Dao Origin realm powerhouses still holding their ground.
"Why are you still not fleeing? Do you think I cannot kill you?" Zhang Fan fixed his gaze on the more than a dozen Dao Origin realm cultivators and spoke.
"Your strength is indeed formidable, sufficient to rival us, and even on the Great Dao of Space, your understanding far surpasses ours, allowing you to come and go as you please. We cannot do anything to you, but do you think you can survive today?"
"The cosmic power of the Vast Firmament Immortal King and the Glazed Immortal King constantly envelops this place. The moment you step out of the arena will be the day of your demise."
"A mere Dao Integration Immortal King is not as formidable as you claim. If I wish to leave today, no one can stop me," Zhang Fan said calmly. His consciousness could cover a radius of ten light-years. No matter how strong a Dao Integration Immortal King's cosmic power was, it could not cover such a distance.
"We will withdraw from the arena first!" This group of Dao Origin realm cultivators also knew that continuing to entangle with Zhang Fan would not injure him. The moment they left the arena, it would be Zhang Fan's death knell!
"If you want to leave, you must leave something behind!" Divine light flickered in Zhang Fan's eyes as he looked at the group of Dao Origin realm cultivators before him. He sheathed his blood-red divine sword, and the rules of his Dao surged within him, with boundless power converging at his fist.
"Myriad Dao Fist!"
As this fist was unleashed, it gathered the power of a miniature universe. Its might rapidly ascended, breaking through the confines of the Dao Origin realm and comparable to the full might of a Dao Integration Immortal King's strike.
Now, Zhang Fan's Dao techniques were incomparably complete. With the Great Daos of Space and Time as roots, Yin and Yang and the Five Elements as the foundation, and the Sword Dao of Thunder as the bones, the small world he constructed was filled with infinite possibilities. From its inception, it was like a nascent universe, allowing Zhang Fan to wield the power of all Daos. The Myriad Dao Fist of this moment had surpassed Zhang Fan's previous life, truly encompassing all Daos.
"Hurry and go!"
The cultivators present could not help but feel a surge of fear. They could clearly sense that this was a power that cultivators of the Void Returning realm could not resist.
Void Returning realm cultivators rapidly fled towards the outside of the arena, but Zhang Fan's punch had already transcended space and time. The moment he struck, it had already arrived.
The group of Void Returning realm cultivators hastily attempted to block, but even peak Dao Origin realm cultivators were qualitatively different from the power of a Dao Integration Immortal King and could not resist.
With a single punch, four early-stage Dao Origin realm cultivators perished on the spot. Even the most tenacious life force could not survive under absolute power. The remaining few Dao Origin realm cultivators were all severely injured, but at this moment, they could not afford to care. They used the force of the impact to fly out of the arena.
...
Outside the arena, the Vast Firmament Immortal King and the Glazed Immortal King were still inquiring about the situation of the fleeing Void Returning realm cultivators. When they learned that Zhang Fan was going on a rampage within the arena, both were taken aback. How could a cultivator of the Great Dao realm have routed a group of Opening Realm cultivators, with dozens even perishing at his hands?
"That Zhang Fan possesses unparalleled mastery in the Great Dao of Space; even projecting his internal world could not suppress him. He could move at will, and we were utterly unable to resist," an Opening Realm cultivator explained.
"Even Dao Origin realm powerhouses could not do anything to him?" the Glazed Immortal King asked.
Just as an Opening Realm cultivator was about to answer the Glazed Immortal King, several Dao Origin realm powerhouses flew out of the arena. They were all weak in aura, clearly having suffered considerable injuries.
Those outside the arena were stunned by this scene. What was going on? Even these Dao Origin realm powerhouses had been forced into such a desperate state by Zhang Fan?
"Immortal King, that Zhang Fan has gone mad, attacking friend and foe alike. Even fellow Daoist Bone Demon has perished at his hands. I implore the Immortal King to take action and suppress him!" a Dao Origin realm cultivator from the Violet Firmament Star Domain shouted to the Vast Firmament Immortal King.
Bone Demon Golden Immortal was one of the four Dao Origin realm cultivators Zhang Fan had killed.
Upon hearing this, the Vast Firmament Immortal King and the Glazed Immortal King exchanged glances and fell silent, their eyes flashing with strange expressions as they pondered something unknown.
