"Because I sensed Long Zhan Tian hiding in the shadows."
So far, Chen Yun has not unleashed his most powerful strength.
For example, various formidable treasures.
Again, for example, the mysterious law power.
Even to the point where Chen Yun, after cultivating to the Land Immortal realm, acquired the ability to transform his essence into "Qingyun," did not unveil it.
He is currently engaged in battle with the descendants of the Peacock Queen, purely relying on his own immortal Qi and the seven-treasure magic tree.
However, even so, with Chen Yun's cultivation at the early stage of the Land Immortal realm and under the augmentation of the "Mighty" spell, he has unleashed the seven-treasure magic tree, releasing its most powerful power. He feels that this attack, even if it cannot kill the Peacock Queen's descendants, can still inflict heavy damage on them.
Therefore, when Chen Yun saw all the power congeal into a "needle", piercing the Peacock Queen's descendants, he kept watching, eager to know the final outcome.
The "eggshell" ahead shimmered with an extremely intense and colorful array of seven hues.
In the next moment, the "eggshell" cracked open with a snap.
The Phoenix shadow in the sky shuddered and then completely vanished.
Chen Yun looked urgently and saw a fist-sized charred mark appear on the body of the Peacock descendant, which was fiery red all over.
As for the rest, nothing has happened!
What... How could that be?
With my full effort using the "Mighty" technique, I could only cause the Peacock descendant to sustain minor injuries?
Chen Yun genuinely found it incredible. According to reason, with such a powerful burst of his own, concentrated into a single point, even a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Land Immortal realm would have their physical body shattered by the impact. However, the Peacock descendant only sustained minor injuries?
At this moment, he finally knew how formidable the Peacock Queen's descendants' bodies were!
It seems, no less formidable than his own body after cultivating to the fourth level of the "Panghuang True Body Technique"!
"Alas." Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh, "It seems I still need to bring out some cards."
He knew that with his usual strength, it was nearly impossible for him to defeat the Peacock Queen's descendants.
Yan Feng behind was still practicing a secret technique, and the power was continuously increasing but had not yet reached its peak.
The Peacock Queen's descendants, who had been injured by Chen Yun, seemed to be completely enraged. They emitted an ear-piercing scream of anger in the sky.
Along with the screams of the Peacock Queen's descendants.
Bang! In the void, a giant bird claw carrying boundless flames suddenly appeared, the nails being a foot long. The powerful Qi and power shook the entire space.
Splash!
Puff! Chen Yun's unique golden light beast, which was sitting down, was caught by this bird claw and lifted up like picking up a chick, with the golden light beast turning into thousands of feet in size before being thrown directly into the void.
At the same time, wave after wave of powerful force caused constant turbulence, shaking the entire void to constantly shudder.
Chen Yun had sensed the bird claw probing out of the void and immediately transformed back to his original appearance to avoid it. However, he didn't expect the unique horned golden light beast to react slightly slower and be struck by the Peacock Queen's descendant's attack.
In that instant, the Peacock Queen's descendants' body was constantly trembling, and the flames around them rolled and surged.
It kept growing in size, instantaneously turning into a thousand zhang in length. The power was also constantly climbing.
The terrifying flame torrent was scattered throughout the sky, forming a myriad of interlaced, river-like flames in the void.
The power of the Peacock Queen's descendants has already reached a level comparable to the mid-stage of the Land Immortal realm, bordering on the late-stage of the Land Immortal realm!
Although it hasn't yet reached the late stage of the Land Immortal realm, anyone can sense it. It's just one step away!
The Peacock, as the king of birds and one of the four great celestial animals, naturally possesses a formidable strength that can compare to the Celestial Immortal realm.
Its descendants, although because of their blurred bloodline, cannot be as powerful as their ancestors, they can still unleash powers far exceeding their own after activating their bloodline.
Now, this Peacock Queen's descendant, enraged by Chen Yun's offensive, clearly activated the beast bloodline to bring out its ultimate power and tear Chen Yun and Yan Feng into pieces!
Chen Yun's expression changed, knowing that he could no longer hide his strength.
Otherwise, if he doesn't reveal his full strength now, he and Yan Feng will both perish here.
Thinking about it, he, who had just returned to his normal state, couldn't help but roar loudly, "Transform!"
Bang!
The boundless void shook.
Endless violet and gold flames burst from Chen Yun's body, sweeping across the entire void.
In that instant, the void world and the real world were both aglow with violet and gold flames.
Even at the top of the real world, a layer of rolling flames of violet and gold colors spread out.
Those flame rivers, thick as great rivers, spread out in all directions.
Everywhere the flames reach, anything touching them is burned to ashes by the terrifying high temperatures.
Even the Peacock Queen's descendants, who had just been filled with rage, showed a hint of fear when they saw the violet and gold flames rushing forward, retreating to the side.
Golden essence is eternal, and purple Qi is the most precious.
When the two highest forces without equal are combined within the flames, they immediately reveal terrifying temperatures.
At this moment, both the Peacock Queen's descendant fighting Chen Yun in the forefront and Yan Feng practicing the secret technique at the back, as well as Ni Dali, Jing Chen Shi Tai, Long Zhan Tian, and others observing outside the basin, were all made to involuntarily shiver with their bodies and minds by this incredibly powerful Taoist majesty.
Except for Long Zhan Tian, most of the people watching the battle couldn't help but secretly feel a sense of foreboding - if they so much as touched this flame, they would be reduced to ashes!
The Peacock Queen's descendants felt the terrifying power, and they how dare sit around waiting for death?
It didn't want to be engulfed by the flame torrent and incinerated to rubble!
The Peacock Queen's descendants were on the verge of panic. While emitting an angry and resounding scream, they transformed into a streak of light, charging towards Chen Yun who was in the midst of changing form with their huge body measuring thousands of feet.
Its speed was beyond comprehension, arriving at Chen Yun's presence almost instantly.
This rush seemed ordinary, but it caused a strong vibration in the void.
A gust of fierce wind blew up from nowhere, fueling the might of the flame torrent.
The boundless void became an ocean of flames!
This wasn't even the most shocking thing.
The most terrifying thing suddenly appeared.
What emerged was the most shocking sight. Chen Yun, whose eyes had turned to violet and gold flames, shook, and a golden demon deity with eighteen heads and twenty-four arms rose from the sea of fire. Each head had a vertical eye in the center of its brow, golden wings on its back, and was incredibly massive.
This golden demon deity, originally only about four or five zhang tall, but it grew with the wind and became about forty or fifty zhang tall in an instant.
This golden demon deity had a terrifying appearance that made one's heart tremble, emitting violet and gold flames from its entire body. Among them, there were faintly visible lightning flashes mixed with the flames. Although the eighteen heads and twenty-four arms were already many, his back suddenly appeared to have a pair of enormous wings composed of pure golden flames!
The terrifying appearance was stunning.
Just as the Peacock Queen's descendants rushed to the front, they were hit directly by the attack of the golden demon deity, and were sent flying backwards!
Everyone who was watching the battle from a distance couldn't help but feel a deep reverence as they looked at the colossal golden demon deity, standing over forty or fifty zhang tall.
It was as if the demon deity were the embodiment of the Great Tao, possessing the mighty power to destroy heaven and earth.
After defeating the Peacock Queen's descendants, Chen Yun didn't spare any mercy. He extended one of his twenty-four arms and grabbed it directly without hesitation.
Everyone could only see a burst of flames approaching the Peacock Queen's descendants.
In a matter of seconds, the Peacock Queen's descendants, who had been sent flying out tens of thousands of miles away, were grabbed back.
That body measuring thousands of feet in size, so much larger than the golden demon deity's palm, was still tightly clenched and writhing in pain.
...
"What... what?"
"What... what is this Dao body?"
"Why do I sense an invincible, powerful force in this Dao body?"
Many practitioners who had never seen Chen Yun's display of the golden demon deity Dao body were in shock at this moment, truly shocked by his incredibly powerful strength.
...
Long Zhan Tian, hiding in the Solar True Flame, naturally also witnessed this scene.
She slightly narrowed her eyes and muttered, "This little fellow used this golden demon deity Dao body last time, forcing me to run away in fear. I never expected that he would display it again, with its power magnified by hundreds and thousands of times! It's no exaggeration to say that he has already reached the late stage of the Earth Immortal realm."
From human Immortal realm late stage to Earth Immortal realm in a few months?
Even Long Zhan Tian, with such prodigious talent and considered the first genius in the tribe for thousands of years, couldn't help but be impressed by Chen Yun's extraordinary talent.
But she only sighed once, and her gaze instantly became resolute. "Pity that you encountered me. Once I unleash my ancestor's bloodline, your measly strength... is not enough!"
...
Outside the basin, Ni Dali and Jing Chen Shi Tai gazed at the void, mesmerized by Chen Yun's awe-inspiring figure.
Especially the Jing Chen Shi Tai, who had never seen Chen Yun's Dao body before, was moved to tears. "This Dao body of Chen Zhenren truly is terrifying. I felt boundless vitality from it, just like the vitality of Shen Nong's fire, a fire that was made by a sage and whose first fire symbolizes human prosperity and how even a small fire can ignite an entire forest. This fire that Shen Nong ignited by drilling wood for firewood represents the vitality of human beings thriving and flourishing. Moreover, I still felt within this power the ominous fire that destroys all heavens and realms, representing disaster and destruction, it is the ultimate flame of destruction. One represents vitality while the other represents destruction. The two different fires merging together to form a Dao body; it is indeed incredibly powerful!"
Although Ni Dali had seen Chen Yun's golden demon deity Dao body before, it was the first time he had heard such a comprehensive analysis.
While nodding in agreement, Ni Dali said, "Yes, Chen Zhenren is indeed too powerful. If the abbot were to face this golden demon deity Dao body, what would be her chances of victory?"
The Jing Chen Shi Tai laughed bitterly and replied, "Even without manifesting the golden demon deity Dao body, Chen Zhenren has already reached the Earth Immortal realm. He could easily defeat me with one blow. Why bother with a Dao body? Of course, if you mean on the same level of power and realm, I estimate that unless I unleash my secret law, I may still be defeated by a single strike from this demon deity."
Upon hearing this, Ni Dali was incredibly surprised.
He never expected Jing Chen Shi Tai to say such a thing.
This means that when Chen Yun manifested the golden demon deity Dao body, he was unbeatable in the same realm?
Upon careful thought, Ni Dali understood. The Peacock Queen's descendant in front was originally far more powerful than Chen Yun, with one being at the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal realm and the other at the early stage. The difference was indeed significant.
Indeed, regardless of how powerful Chen Yun was at the beginning, or how much he unleashed with fierce attacks and powerful spells, he couldn't budge the Peacock Queen's descendant even an inch.
When he manifested the golden demon deity Dao body, he grabbed the Peacock Queen's descendant in one swift motion and squeezed him so hard that the latter let out a string of cries of pain.
This showed that the augmentation of the golden demon deity Dao body was not just about being unbeatable in one's own realm.
It's not just about being unbeatable in one's own realm, but it can make Chen Yun's strength leap from the early to mid-stage of the Earth Immortal realm.
Such enhancement is undoubtedly terrifying.
After all, it's a jump across a whole level of realm!
Yes, the difference between the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal realm and the early stage is only a small realm gap, it seems like not much of a difference.
In reality, any practitioner can understand that as one's cultivation becomes deeper and deeper, the gap between small realms might be even more vast than that between previous major realms.
This is no joke.
For Ni Dali, who is currently at the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal realm, let's say.
Even if ten ordinary practitioners at the early stage of the Earth Immortal realm teamed up, they wouldn't stand a chance against him.
Of course, if they possessed special secret techniques or treasured items, it would be a different story.
And the Earth Immortal realm is one level higher than the Human Immortal realm.
Therefore, the gap between small realms would be even more significant.
Ni Dali had ample reason to believe that, under normal circumstances, a hundred early-stage Earth Immortals might not be able to defeat a single mid-stage Earth Immortal.
Now?
Even Chen Yun's manifestation of the golden demon deity Dao body has narrowed the vast gap.
This shows just how formidable the golden demon deity Dao body truly is!
...
Not only were Ni Dali, Jing Chen Shi Tai, and Long Zhan Tian watching the battle.
The Dragon maiden Sanjiu and Gao Chen, as well as other acquaintances of Chen Yun from the Ice and Fire Path, were all remotely watching the battle in the southwest direction.
That awe-inspiring battle made the entire heaven and earth's spiritual energy chaotic, leaving them all in shock.
At first, Dragon maiden Sanjiu, Gao Chen, and Sun Yan, and others didn't know which ethereal sages were fighting.
Suddenly, Wu Qing, a descendant of Wu Kejiu, sensed a force similar to the immortal essence given to her by Chen Yun. She immediately mentioned this situation.
Only then did everyone realize that the ethereal sage who was exerting boundless power in the southwest direction was none other than their old acquaintance Chen Yun.
As friends of Chen Yun, Dragon maiden Sanjiu, Gao Chen, and others, of course, were concerned about his safety.
Therefore, Dragon maiden Sanjiu, who was the highest-level cultivator on the scene, quickly cast a Water Mirror Technique to try to observe the situation in the southwest.
However, as soon as she cast the Water Mirror Technique, it was instantly shattered into pieces by a powerful force before she could even get a glimpse.
Although the Water Mirror Technique lasted only a moment, these people still caught a glimpse of the battle from it.
They saw Chen Yun transformed into a golden demon deity, who instantly captured a giant Peacock Queen that was over thousand feet in size. It seemed that Chen Yun had gained the upper hand from this capture!
For a moment, everyone was utterly shocked!
"What?"
"How could Chen Zhenren be fighting a supreme beast like the Peacock Queen and still have the upper hand?"
"Wow, Chen Zhenren is incredibly powerful. To think that back then, his cultivation level was slightly lower than ours, but now he has reached a realm that's unimaginable to us."
"Chen Laozu is truly formidable. He has defeated even the Peacock Queen, which is something we all admire."
Hmm, the Water Mirror Technique flashed by too quickly, leaving them unable to see the specific scene clearly. They mistook the descendant of the Peacock Queen for the actual Peacock Queen.
A group of people there couldn't help but sigh and feel a sense of awe, thinking that Chen Yun was really dominating the fight with the Peacock.
