Three people engage in an intense battle, which erupts completely in the secluded place.
Although Chen Yun's Dao body has the smallest physical size, the thunder and phoenix flames he controls are like torrents of water, making it the one with the most impressive display.
Long Zantian fought two people at once, not showing any weakness and even had the slight advantage.
After three or five rounds, Ni Dali was sliced to pieces by Long Zantian's Qingfeng giant sword.
At this moment, Long Zantian aimed at an opening and struck the back of the Great Blue Bull with a fierce sword stroke.
Although Ni Dali evaded the blow quickly, a large chunk of skin and meat was still sliced off. He groaned in pain, rolling onto the ground and transforming back into his cow's head human form. He crawled away as fast as he could, rolling along the way and retreating towards a distance.
Ni Dali himself possesses the strength of a mid-level cultivator in the human paradise. After revealing his true form, he can temporarily withstand a late-level cultivator, but he cannot last more than three or five rounds in Long Zantian's hands.
It can be imagined how strong Long Zantian's strength is.
Seeing this, Chen Yun replied while blocking Long Zantian's attacks, "Brother Niu, you should take a moment to retreat. I'll deal with Long Zantian first and then come to help you heal your wounds!"
Ni Dali felt embarrassed and said, "Yes, old Niu is weak. I cannot help the Dao Master defeat the enemy and has become a burden. Ah!"
He turned into a beam of light and retreated away towards a distance.
Long Zantian showed no intention of pursuing him, coldly harrumphing at Chen Yun, "Have you any chance of winning against me? Yet you still dream of defeating me to help him heal his wounds. You are truly a dreamer!"
As he spoke, the Qingfeng giant sword in the air slashed horizontally towards him.
The sword hasn't even arrived, but the gale is already on my face!
Chen Yun knew that if he were struck, he might be able to withstand it with his formidable physique, but the shockwave would definitely affect his next move in the battle.
He hurriedly raised his hand, and five bolts of thunder fire were launched, powerful and urgent.
After flying hundreds of zhang, these bolts of thunder fire suddenly entwined, spreading out and turning into a massive hammer composed of lightning and fire, striking the Qingfeng sword ferociously.
As the two collided in mid-air, a resounding thunderous roar immediately erupted from the point of contact.
At the same time, an incredibly bright light flashed, illuminating the previously dark and deep place like a bright day.
Exactly because of this blow, Chen Yun blocked the attack from the Qingfeng giant sword.
However, Long Zantian still had another hand. She forcefully struck the void from high above, and an extremely powerful surge of energy burst forth, crashing down fiercely upon the ground below.
It turned out that Long Zantian had taken advantage of the opportunity to kill Chen Yun in one stroke.
Chen Yun had not been in his first battle, so he naturally knew not to fight back.
A flash of red light enveloped him, and the ground below caved in, creating a deep and dark hole.
Shortly after, Chen Yun's entire body disappeared into the hole, leaving no trace.
"Can you run away?" Long Zantian suddenly withdrew her colossal illusion and revealed her true face. It turned out to be a beautiful woman.
At this moment, her long black hair was spread out, dancing wildly in the wind, swirling behind her head.
Suddenly, the eyes embedded in her stunningly beautiful face released a greenish-yellow light.
A terrifying aura of death swept out from her body, enveloping the surrounding area.
The heavens and the earth were filled with a solemn and deadly atmosphere, with everything silent.
Long Zantian truly had murderous intent, preparing to unleash her most powerful skills.
Seeing the ground break apart and Chen Yun gone,
Long Zantian knew that he must have used the earth-shifting technique.
She unhesitantly raised her finger and dug a path through mountains and earth, plunging down to chase after him.
Just as Long Zantian entered the underground, a series of splashing sounds like running water abruptly shook and echoed.
As Long Zantian looked on in alarm, she saw several huge, river-sized bolts of thunder and lightning, like dragons issuing from the sea, tens of thousands of them flying out and intertwining together, forming an enormous net made of lightning and fire that was about to swallow her up.
Chen Yun burrowed into the earth, of course, not to prepare for an escape.
Encountering Long Zantian, such a powerful opponent, Chen Yun secretly felt excited and wanted to compete with him.
This is because it is his strategy.
This move, which draws upon all of the lightning and fire energy within his body to attack, is undoubtedly the most powerful ability of Long Zantian's "Lightning and Fire Dao Body."
Chen Yun wanted to see if he could defeat Long Zantian using almost a stealth attack.
"What a fierce surge of lightning and fire! If this was in the outside world, I would truly have to give you three steps back. But alas, this is Catastrophe Mountain, how can you possibly harm me?"
Colorful lights rolled up and condensed into a cluster.
Long Zantian still did not retrieve her bell-like treasure to ward off the power.
Instead, she shone brightly, almost as bright as the sun in close proximity, encasing herself and continuing to pursue Chen Yun.
The radiant light gathered, and wherever it went, regardless of how fierce the bolts of thunder and fire were, they all vibrated and exploded instantly.
At this moment, Long Zantian was like a tank diving underground, wildly crashing through the mountains and rocks along the way.
The rocks in front of him shook and cracked, and the sound of breaking apart did not stop.
One after another, the hard stones underground, as sturdy as defense-type artifacts, crumbled away in the face of Long Zantian's radiant light.
It seemed that Long Zantian was not digging through the earth at this moment but was merely passing through blocks of tofu.
Such abilities, even Chen Yun couldn't help but be amazed.
They chased after each other while relentlessly fighting, and in a blink of an eye, they soared through the underground for over a thousand li.
Chen Yun knew that this was not the solution, so he decided to unleash a more severe attack.
Thinking of this, he suddenly sprinted towards the top, causing all the mud and rocks to explode, and soared into the air.
Long Zantian pursued relentlessly, turning into a beam of light and closing in on Chen Yun's face in a blink of an eye.
Suddenly, Chen Yun swung the Seven Treasures Magic Tree down fiercely, with its radiant colors and white mist enveloping a blue lotus, spreading out across the sky towards Long Zantian.
Long Zantian knew the power of the Seven Treasures Magic Tree and dare not intercept it directly.
The beam of light she had transformed into swerved and evaded the attack.
Seizing the opportunity, Chen Yun roared, "Long!"
He activated his second innate Dao Qi.
The second stream of Dao Qi hidden within him, once activated, surged abruptly, spreading through his limbs and bones, his muscles and skin, and even his internal organs, including his "soul," deeply merging with them.
After the Dao Qi penetrated his body, a small portion escaped and turned into brilliant purple-golden flames, while the vast majority of the Dao Qi continued to gather and rise within him.
These Dao Qi flowed incessantly, as if overflowing from his body, not yet sated. They continued to compress, becoming increasingly solid and thick.
A powerful force surged within him like the waters of a mighty river.
With a loud boom, an explosion resounded from Chen Yun's body!
This explosive sound, like a flat thunderclap, resounded the moment it was released, and the entire Catastrophe Mountain seemed to fall silent.
An unknown wave of pressure spread, almost filling the entire Catastrophe Mountain.
The entire Catastrophe Mountain trembled violently, and a strong, purple-golden glow flickered mysteriously from the void as if responding to the explosive sound within Chen Yun's body.
At this moment, the world seemed to fall silent.
The holy and inviolable aura that had been born within Chen Yun's body had become even more fierce.
Startled and unable to contain her shock, Long Zantian exclaimed, "You actually managed to manifest a second Dao body?"
Chen Yun didn't respond, his entire body shining with a purple-golden fire that seemed to be at its limit, about to take form.
It might be just a moment.
It could have been an instant. It could also have been millions of years.
Suddenly, the purple-golden light completely erupted from Chen Yun's body!
A powerful burst of light exploded, covering the sky and earth, illuminating the dark night of Catastrophe Mountain!
Almost in that instant, the entire world seemed to be filled with surging streams of purple-golden fire.
Inexplicable gusts of wind started to blow from somewhere, strengthening the imposing force of the fiery river.
The Catastrophe Mountain had turned into a sea of flames!
That was not the most shocking thing.
The most terrifying thing happened suddenly.
Suddenly, Chen Yun, whose eyes had turned into purple-golden flames, shook his whole body. A powerful aura spread within the flames and shook the already shattered surroundings even more violently.
The entire world seemed to shake along with Chen Yun's body.
An enormous, towering figure of an eighteen-headed, twenty-four-armed being emerged from the sea of fire, its back bearing golden wings and every single one of its eyes in its temples a vertical eye. The figure was a vast, magnificent golden demon.
The golden demon initially stood at about four to five cun (a traditional Chinese unit of length, approximately 0.2 meters) in height, but it quickly expanded to over forty to fifty cun as the wind rushed past it. Almost simultaneously, the vertical eyes in each of the eighteen heads burst open.
With an exterior that was terrifying and chilling, the figure was covered in purple-golden flames, from which one could faintly see the glint of lightning. Even though it already had eighteen heads and twenty-four arms, there was also a pair of enormous wings on its back—wings composed purely of golden flames!
This terrifying appearance shocked everyone.
The terrifying flames fell over an area of up to thousands of li, instantly melting the rocks into lava and rolling downwards in a continuous torrent.
Long Zantian looked at the enormous golden demon towering at over forty to fifty chi, and deep within her heart, she couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of reverence.
Long Zantian gasped in amazement, "Your second Dao body is so powerful!"
Chen Yun, who had manifested the golden demon Dao body, twisted his face and declared, "Long Zantian, if you don't awaken the Wu Huang bloodline now, you're going to die!"
Long Zantian, having reached such a level of cultivation, is naturally not a person without reason.
Long Zantian can certainly sense that the aura emanating from Chen Yun's body at this moment has completely suppressed her.
This only intensified Long Zantian's warlike intentions in her eyes.
However, it seems she has something to be wary of, and the warlike intent in her eyes gradually subsided.
Long Zantian took a deep breath and said, "I'm not ready to activate the bloodline of our ancestors for the time being. This time, you win. All the treasures in the Hidden Depths will be yours!"
She turned into a beam of light and left without looking back.
Chen Yun had thought that Long Zantian would activate the bloodline of the ancestor, the Empress of Heaven.
In the end, who would have thought that the other party did not even attempt to activate their ancestral bloodline, but instead chose to avoid a confrontation.
This left him feeling a bit disappointed, but he also did not continue to pursue her relentlessly.
After all, the other party had not yet activated the bloodline of the Empress of Heaven.
Who knows how strong they would be once their bloodline of the Empress of Heaven was activated?
Chen Yun had previously judged that if Long Zantian possessed her current strength, and activated the bloodline of the Empress of Heaven, he would not have the slightest chance of victory unless he could utilize the power of "Killing Law" or "Ten Thousand Lanterns," and hit her in the head.
In fact, neither the "Killing Law" nor the "Ten Thousand Lanterns" have the function of locking onto an enemy.
There are opportunities to hit.
However, if he failed, he would most likely perish there.
As to why Long Zantian fled without fighting, Chen Yun could probably guess.
It is likely that activating the bloodline of the Empress of Heaven also has some limitations for the other party.
If activated now, for a certain period of time in the future, they may not be able to activate it again.
Yan Feng had previously said that Long Zantian's purpose in coming to the Sun and Moon Spring Cave was for the Golden Scissors and the Golden Axe.
It is possible that the other party doesn't want to waste the limited method of enhancing their strength through activating the bloodline of the Empress of Heaven, which has restrictions, in a battle for trivial gains with oneself. This is why she fled without fighting.
"I know you have hidden tricks, but what about me?"
Chen Yun looked in the direction where Long Zantian had fled, his eyes narrowing, "When we meet again, it will be a battle of life and death between us!"
