Chen Yun rode without the Unicorn of the Single Golden Light this time, just to personally slay Gou Teng Daoren.
The grievances of decades are vividly in sight, he naturally doesn't want any factors to intervene his revenge.
After a few casual chats, both Chen Yun and the opposing Gou Teng Daoren emitted a festive cloud aura that rose to the heavens, shining resplendent over the city of Bei Zhou.
On one side, the stars are everywhere.
On the other side, the gold light shone brilliantly.
Both are immortals, with equally matched levels of cultivation.
Naturally, one side immediately released their true spirit and a festive cloud aura, subtly comparing and contrasting with the other.
The stars seem to be flowing like mercury.
The golden light spreads out like a river.
The two keep touching and melting, yet not a sound is made.
From the perspective of the audience, the starlight and gold light seem to be connected rather than engaged in a power struggle.
Suddenly, Gou Teng Daoren's eyes snapped open, and the three-foot-long green blade in his hand shimmered slightly. Swathes of smoke and radiant colors enveloped the area around him.
Chen Yun waved his seven-pearl treelike magic staff, and the auspicious clouds of white mist and gold cloud, emitting refreshing fragrance, surged upward.
Gou Teng Daoren's expression changed, and he waved his green sword, transforming it into a frosty bridge composed of cold light. It shot towards the gold light to suppress it.
Chen Yun remained calm and composed, releasing lightning from the palm of his empty hand.
Boom.
A loud sound resounded, shaking the frosty bridge composed of cold light.
In an instant, the cold light was shattered, breaking into numerous sparks that fell to the ground.
Chen Yun laughed loudly, "Master Gou Teng, your great magic is just like this. Look at my seven-pearl treelike magic staff!"
Just as he finished speaking, he raised the branch in his hand, and there was no sign of movement, as if a villager were swinging a bamboo stick in a fight. He swung the branch at Gou Teng's face.
Gou Teng Daoren, seeing Chen Yun break through his suppression method as easily as eating and drinking, felt his face flush red and a blushing heat spread over his entire body. He hurriedly met the attack with the green sword in his hand.
During the battle, Chen Yun smiled and said, "You arbitrarily attacked the star constellation sea without discrimination, causing my entire family to be eradicated. How can you claim to be the leader of this religion?"
Speaking, he was striking with his seven-pearl treelike magic staff again.
Gou Teng Daoren roared in anger, "You have eradicated my entire disciples, and still dare to lecture me? This resentment will never be resolved!"
He blocks the seven-pearl treelike magic staff with his sword.
The two Immortal Realm beings fought in the vast wilderness, with their battles going back and forth without any decisive victory.
...
Beizhou City.
Wu Luan, Shao Ke, and other ordinary soldiers and officers, watching Chen Yun and Gou Teng Daoren as if they were engaged in a "quarrel between women," were all momentarily stunned, staring at each other.
The unascended cultivators who saw this scene almost all fainted and fell to the ground.
In the minds of these people, Chen Yun and Gou Teng Daoren, as immortals in the Realm of Immortality, would surely fight until the sky collapses and the earth splits. Who could have imagined that it was not so at all.
The battle between the two immortals did not produce any grand scene at all. In fact, one was slowly waving a branch, and the other was calmly swinging a sword, as if they were two elderly gentlemen practicing Tai Chi in a park in the morning. It truly fell far short of their expectations.
The group initially suspected that Chen Yun and Gou Teng Daoren were acting, otherwise, how could a battle between demigods be so absurd?
A young monk looked puzzled at Zhao Dasheng, "General, what are Master Gou Teng and Master Ni Wan doing?"
Zhao Dasheng stared intently at the battle ahead and replied casually, "Fighting magic, what else could they be doing?"
Another old wandering cultivator with a facial mole resembling a centipede couldn't help but say with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Calling this slow-moving swordplay and branch waving 'fighting magic' is really laughable."
The remaining cultivators were all confused and unable to either laugh or cry.
Not to mention those cultivators, even Wu Luan, Shao Ke, and other ordinary soldiers and officers all felt they could knock them down with a single punch.
Zhao Dasheng couldn't help but laugh, "You people have shallow cultivation, and cannot see the subtleties within. You think it is ordinary, but in fact, their fighting is extremely dangerous. If you were to enter their midst, you might be instantly incinerated."
"Ahh?"
"Is that true or not?"
"Is it really that profound?"
Some of the cultivators didn't believe it.
Que Mu Lang's temper was not as good as Zhao Dasheng's, so he snorted coldly and said, "Activate your magic power and carefully look. You really have eyes but no insight."
The cultivators were cursed, but they paid no attention to it.
After all, the one cursing them was Que Xu, so who would dare to show any dissatisfaction in their hearts?
Hearing Que Mu Lang's reminder, the cultivators became somewhat skeptical and began to activate their magic power to carefully gaze upon the scene.
The cultivators with lower levels of cultivation couldn't discern any subtleties at all.
Only a few scattered cultivators among the crowd, with their cultivation level at the early stage of the Domain of Teachings, could faintly see a cluster of tiny, barely visible bright lights emerging and then disappearing as Chen Yun and Gou Teng Daoren waved their branches and swords.
What was most unbelievable to these three cultivators at the early stage of the Domain of Teachings was that when they activated their magic power to observe, they felt as if Chen Yun and Gou Teng Daoren's forms were blurred, as if they did not exist in this realm.
"This..." A cultivator dressed as a fisherman took a deep breath, widened his eyes, and said, "Master Ni Wan and Master Gou Teng's great magic is truly awe-inspiring, terrifying beyond words."
Another cultivator dressed in a purple skirt with an early-stage cultivation level also revealed shock, "The two gentlemen's battle seems to be outside of this world, could it be that..."
The crowd of cultivators with lower levels of cultivation, along with Wu Luan, Shao Ke, and other ordinary soldiers and officers, were still confused and didn't understand the specific details of the battle.
Thankfully, General Zhao Da took over to explain, "That's right, this battle between Chen Pu and Gou Teng may seem ordinary, but it actually contains endless mysteries. As you all see them right in front of you now, they are actually each using their great magic to open up a temporary world, or countless small worlds. They constantly navigate through these worlds, and at a moment's notice they launch a fierce and devastating attack that obliterates the heavens and the earth. Therefore, what you see is that as they move and dance, there is an array of lights surging up, only to be instantly destroyed."
What?
Can their battle be so terrifying?
The cultivators were shaken both physically and mentally.
They never expected that Chen Yun and Gou Teng Daoren's battle had transcended the rules of a single world, and involved the realm of "multiverse".
Creating and destroying countless small worlds with one gesture?
Although the cultivators did not know how many small worlds the two immortals had created and destroyed, even a single small world was beyond their imagination of grandeur, for it was akin to a universe!
This left everyone in awe, and they realized the incredible level of cultivation and attainment of Chen Yun and Gou Teng Daoren.
...
On the other side, the Qidan army.
Zhao Yanlong and Zhao Yanzhau, as well as other ordinary soldiers and officers, also appeared to be very puzzled.
Not only them, but also some of Chen Yun's disciples who have not attained immortality or have not been deified, all looked confused.
This group, like Wu Luan and others in Beizhou City, asked their questions.
Upon hearing this, Li Jing laughed loudly, "You people with mundane bodies cannot see the mysteries. Chen Zhenren and Gou Teng Daoren are both demigods. The laws they manifest are rooted in simplicity, and their moves seem ordinary on the surface, but any hint of their power leakage would be enough to destroy the world we live in."
Nüwa scoffed and said, "Your battle may seem incredible and shocking, causing the sky to darken and the earth to shake, but in reality, you waste a huge amount of power. Demigods are also known as beings who know everything. They are supreme beings who know everything about their world. When they engage in battle, they certainly won't waste their power like you do. Every move they make contains the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. A beam of light that you see can tear apart a small world. With one breath, they can cause all small worlds to explode at once. How could such power be comparable to yours?"
Only after listening to the explanations from Li Jing and Nüwa did the crowd come to understand the danger of Chen Yun and Gou Teng Daoren's battle.
For a while, everyone remained silent and continued to look forward, hoping to gain some insight into the mysteries.
...
...The two demigods were battling in the wilderness, each displaying their own powers.
After several rounds of exchanges, both sides of Beizhou City and the Qidan army were left with wide-eyed stares.
The movement and noise gradually intensified. The two immortals' surroundings were thunderous, winds howled from all directions, lightning flickered, mist enveloped everything.
To an ordinary person, this scene might still seem like that of two low-level magicians fighting a spell.
In reality, the two immortals' battle contains profound secrets.
The whirlwind causes the universe to tremble;
The thunder roars, shaking mountains and rivers;
Lightning illuminates red silk, incinerating heaven and earth;
The mist swirls, dimming the sun and moon.
This terrifying battle with power that pierces through the "multiverse" can only be truly understood by those who comprehend it, to know just how vast and awe-inspiring it truly is.
During Chen Yun and Gou Teng Daoren's fierce battle, a prosperity cloud appeared above his head, protecting him from any harm even as Gou Teng's star shattered.
Chen Yun thought in silence, "I have been comparing my magic power with him, but still cannot see any results and cannot subdue him. It seems that I still need to reveal some of my abilities."
Thinking so, he deflected Gou Teng Daoren's swipe with his precious tree of seven wonders, piercing through countless small worlds and standing still.
In an instant, Chen Yun waved his robe and a loud "thud" sound of a thunderous rumble echoed from within his body.
In the next moment, his figure grew with the wind and became several zhang (over 10 feet) tall, turning into a creature with a green face, fanged teeth, fiery hair, and a fearsome expression. He had two wings that generated thunder and lightning on his back.
This was the manifestation of his wind and thunder dharma body.
As soon as this wind and thunder dharma body manifested, the rolling thunder caused countless small worlds to shake and almost break apart one by one. Electric currents flowed like celestial dragons, and blazing flames blocked the nine palaces.
How could Gou Teng Daoren not sense Chen Yun's imposing aura?
His expression changed, and he hurriedly performed the Starry Sky Yuan Shen skill, emitting ten thousand beams of starlight and thousands of auspicious colors, brilliant and dazzling, blinding the eyes.
Gou Teng Daoren believed that this could block Chen Yun's dharma body's terrifying power.
However, as soon as his starlight began to spread, a sudden blue lotus emerged from the void and shattered his starlight surrounding him, directly striking his back.
Gou Teng Daoren felt an intense pain from his back, and a surge of qi and blood flipped inside him. He couldn't help but let out a cries, "Ah!" and spewed a mouthful of fresh blood.
He hurriedly summoned the Starry Heaven's Inferno shield and raised it.
In an instant, countless starfire appeared around him, protecting him from all sides.
As expected, seven treasures of marvelous trees from the void swept towards him one after another.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
A series of ear-piercing thunderous sounds resounded.
The shield of starfire released from the Starry Heaven's Inferno caused continuous swaying, as if it might shatter at any moment.
Gou Teng Daoren secretly groaned in his heart, having been struck by Chen Yun's seven-essence wonderful tree transforming into a blue lotus three or five times.
This caused him to become enraged. While his magic power surged, activating the Starry Heaven's Inferno shield, he secretly reached out with one hand, grasping a dagger-like treasure like a needle.
"Go!"
Gou Teng Daoren shouted out.
With his shout, the Starry Heaven's Inferno shield rapidly expanded to become huge, covering the sky.
This starlight shield was so huge that it seemed as if it could swallow up the world. It suddenly turned upside down and covered down.
Although Chen Yun was relying on the power of his dharma body to continuously attack Gou Teng Daoren, he had rich combat experience. How could he not be prepared?
In theory, he could easily dodge such an attack with a move like a displacement spell.
However, he didn't even flinch. Instead, he laughed heartily and shouted, "Here they come!"
Before his laughter had even faded, the immense starlight shield had enveloped Chen Yun's body.
A terrifying starfire was ignited inside the enormous starlight shield.
Like the flames of world destruction, it burned and roared ferociously inside.
You see, this starfire is capable of destroying even small worlds.
Even the fellow demigod, Naihe, who was at the same level of cultivation as Gou Teng Daoren, dared not face it.
Now Chen Yun was trapped inside, making Gou Teng Daoren believe he had won the battle. He couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
He twisted his magic seals, and the starfire burned even more fiercely.
Unfortunately, Gou Teng Daoren's joy didn't last for long. He saw an even more terrifying sight.
As Chen Yun stood in the endless flames, he roared with laughter, "The power of this Starry Heaven's Inferno shield is no better than this!"
Gou Teng Daoren was greatly surprised and exclaimed, "What? My Starry Heaven's Inferno shield can't kill you?"
As Chen Yun stood amidst the endless sea of flames, he waved his seven treasures of marvelous trees and said, "Not even your Starry Heaven's Inferno shield, or any more powerful artifacts, can do anything to me!"
In a single stroke, the endless flames were extinguished.
Before Gou Teng Daoren could react, he felt the flames around him dissipate.
He hurriedly looked up, but the Starry Heaven's Inferno shield was nowhere to be seen.
Chen Yun's voice rang out again, "Don't look for it. Your treasure is in my hands."
Looking as he was told, Gou Teng Daoren saw that the Starry Heaven's Inferno shield had somehow turned into something that could be held in one hand and was now in Chen Yun's palm.
Chen Yun flipped his palm, and the Starry Heaven's Inferno shield vanished instantly from his hand.
It turns out that his cultivation had increased greatly, and the powerful force sealed in the seven treasures of marvelous trees had been released to some extent again. Now he was able to brush away such treasures as the Starry Heaven's Inferno shield.
Gou Teng Daoren had long known that the seven treasures of marvelous trees could sweep away treasures, but the last time the Starry Heaven's Inferno shield had not been swept away. He thought that the seven treasures of marvelous trees were ineffective against the Starry Heaven's Inferno shield, which is why he dared to openly raise it.
He never expected that not only did the Starry Heaven's Inferno shield not harm Chen Yun in the slightest, but it was also swept away and taken by him!
This angered Gou Teng Daoren even more. He roared furiously, "Chen Yanpiao, dare to take my artifact? You are asking for your own death!"
Chen Yun didn't rush to launch an attack either. Holding the seven treasures of marvelous tree, he said, "I took your Starry Heaven's Inferno shield. What can you do to me?"
Gou Teng Daoren clenched his teeth and said, "You wicked scoundrel, don't get too excited. I will see to it that you pay with your life!"
Chen Yun seemed overly confident, slapping his robe, and an array of radiant lights began to ripple up, "I am waiting. If you have any powerful magic or artifacts, feel free to use them!"
"Good! Good! Good!" Gou Teng Daoren shouted "good" three times in a row, "It's all because of you. Die!"
As Gou Teng Daoren's anger reached its boiling point, a white-lighted treasure appeared in mid-air, releasing an endless aura of killing intent!
