Amidst the battlefield, auspicious light waves.
Nie Zha, Li Jing, and the nine-headed Bull Demon King had not yet acted.
The nineteen deities, including Zhao Da, Kui Mu Lang, and Mao Ri Xing Guan, standing in mid-air facing them, were as if they had met a great enemy.
Chen Yun gazed intently, trying to analyze the true strength of the immortals and then call for an ally to assist.
It's not just him who is paying attention to this battle. Whether it's Black Mother, the Divine Lady Qi Shou Tian Ni, Hu San Tai Tai Yee, and Niu Da Liang Dai, the sacred beings of the Khitan, or a group of unascended cultivators in Liyang City, and even common people and soldiers from both armies who are watching.
This was a rare battle in the world. The divinity with its cultivation reaching the later stage of the God realm had a total of twenty-two, participating in it. It can be imagined how booming the scale is.
Although the Eight Star Officers, along with General Zhao Da, are all in the late stage of the Immortal Realm, the gap between the late stage of the Immortal Realm is also very large.
For example, at the moment, Nie Zha, Li Jing, and the nine-headed Bull Demon King are only three people, and their imposing aura is like an ocean, overwhelming all nineteen sacred beings.
As long as anyone with eyes can see, the vast lotus light, golden Buddha light, and surging black mist in the northern sky spread across the southern nineteen sacred lights.
The lotus light, in particular, exuded an unusual dominancy. Upon touching those auspicious lights, it immediately unleashed a powerful force, causing numerous flashes of light to rise and vanish at the collision point.
Chen Yun only had a glance, but his heart felt extremely moved.
He never thought that before these deities actually engaged in battle, the mere collision of their immeasurable force generated countless "particles" which formed a small world, only to be crushed into pieces by an unimaginably powerful force.
"One grain of sand, one world" is a very profound description in mythology. However, at this moment, the collision of the imposing auras released by Nie Zha, Li Jing, and others can achieve this.
It must be said that these deities at the late stage of the Immortal Realm are truly powerful, almost astonishing.
Although there had been a similar situation during the confrontation between Chen Yun and Gouteng Taoist, it was all-out with full power. Now, with Nie Zha and Kui Mu Lang, there was no such all-out battle; it was just the collision of their auras that created such a spectacle. Realizing the huge gap between himself and these deities, Chen Yun felt even more urgent to cultivate his yang spirit and advance to the Immortal Realm.
The strongest in the Human and Immortal Realms can reach the "singularity universe" realm.
The Earthly Immortal Realm is even more powerful, reaching the level of "multiverse" for extremely strong deities.
The Immortal Realm is particularly terrifying, reaching the level of "supercosmic".
Chen Yun recalls a conversation with Lü Dongbin about the worldview.
He knows that a singular universe in this world is merely a small world.
The multiverse is also just what Buddhism commonly refers to as the "Great Assembly World".
The level of supercosmic universe is different. It is equivalent to a singular universe.
This singular universe encompasses the Dharma Form World, the World Beyond, the Boundless Sky World, the Cavernous Heaven World, the Profane World, and the World of Darkness.
Everything, including time and space, is contained within the singular universe.
Next is the Hundred Essences World.
If we were to calculate the combat power using the previous life's stacking box method.
A Hundred Essences World is equivalent to countless thousands of Single Essence World, hence the All-powerful Universe.
In fact, in this world, the Hundred Essences World is not the endpoint, but the starting point for Tianxian.
After reaching the Tianxian realm, the combat power will progress from the Hundred Essences World to the Hongmeng World.
Generally speaking, countless thousands of Single Essence World form a Hongmeng World.
Countless thousands of Single Essence Hongmeng World form a complete world, which is commonly referred to as the Ten Thousand Worlds.
Entities like those who are one step away from the Great Holy One surpass the Hongmeng World, but cannot exceed the Ten Thousand Worlds.
Only the Dao Realm, or the Taoist Trinity, can truly transcend and govern all the Ten Thousand Worlds.
Exactly because the Immortal Realm has reached the "supercosmic" level.
Therefore, even among immortals of the same level, be it early, middle, or late stage, those who seem to be at the same level of cultivation actually have a significant gap in strength.
Such as Nie Zha and Er Langshen, they belong to the most powerful combatants in the Immortal Realm. They are able to fight against "Hundred Essences World" level Tianxian, which can be imagined how ferocious they are.
Li Jing, the nine-headed Bull Demon King, the Eight Star Officers, and General Zhao Da are somewhat or greatly inferior to Nie Zha and Er Langshen.
Therefore, in terms of aura, Nie Zha completely dominated the upper hand and suppressed the deities.
Qu Mu Lang felt greatly constrained and uncomfortable, grabbed the divine sword in his hand, and stabbed it forward straight ahead.
Chu!
A blazing white light shot out at high speed, aiming at the throat of the nine-headed Bull Demon King in an instantaneous move.
This move appears ordinary, but Chen Yun could see in it the rise and fall of countless "Great Assembly Worlds," with infinite power. It is not that a common earthly immortal could resist it; rather, being exposed to the white light might result in being "obliterated" within it.
The nine-headed Bull Demon King was already suppressed by Qu Mu Lang, and facing this sudden change, he quickly mobilized his entire magical energy, retracting his nine heads and making a gulping sound as his body slightly retreated outward three feet. In reality, he had already transcended through countless Great Assembly Worlds and managed to avoid this move.
He knew he was suppressed by Qu Mu Lang and couldn't directly engage in combat with him, so after avoiding it, his double iron hammers danced left and right, striking at the two Auspicious Stars. On the left was "Yu Long Jiuan", and on the right was "Huang Long Ruo Hai". The double iron hammers tore through the Great Assembly World, creating a whirlpool after whirlpool like a black hole.
This seems no different from a fight between ordinary martial artists, but the two officers of the Azure Horse Star, Li Chenghao and Chu Hao, were not negligent. They all immediately cast powerful magic.
The hunting spears in Tianyin Star's hand looked like a "wash" of clothes, emitting a terrifying aura of hunting that sent shivers down everyone's spines.
Chuhao Star's hand also held a spear, but it was not the type used by hunters, rather, it was like the agricultural tool used for foraging grass.
He shook the steel spear, causing it to vibrate and counterattack towards the other.
In fact, he had executed the "Shock" technique, where countless starlight permeated within, unleashing a heavenly might that even surprised Chen Yun who was watching the fight.
Clang! Clang!
Two sounds resounded almost simultaneously, creating a ripple.
The nine-headed Bull Demon King handled it with ease, with the double iron hammers colliding against the two steel spears. A surge of magical energy burst forth, shaking Tianyin Star and Chuhao Star back through countless Great Assembly Worlds before dissipating its power.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, Tianyin Star and Chuhao Star had merely retreated a few dozen meters.
"You, the officers of the Azure Horse Star, are just like that!"
The nine-headed Bull Demon King, who had the upper hand, did not spare his words and said, "Let's see how I break your petty magic!"
"Evil one!"
"Mouhing out arrogant words!"
The six other star officials of the Azure Horse Star were enraged, raising their weapons and magical artifacts, attacking the nine-headed Bull Demon King in a encirclement.
In an instant, the eight star officials and the nine-headed Bull Demon King were engaged in combat.
However, the nine-headed Bull Demon King was incredibly powerful, and his double iron hammers danced like a spinning wheel of fire, causing the eight star officials to be as agitated as a boiling cauldron.
Only when the Máo Rì Xīng Guān emits a rooster-like crow sound to join the battle, do the two sides become evenly matched.
On the other side, after failing to land a successful strike, Qu Mu Lang is preparing to continue the pursuit of the nine-headed Bull Demon King.
He never expected Nie Zha's big spear to block in front of the opponent, sweeping it lightly.
Qu Mu Lang had already known about Nie Zha's prowess, so he hastily withdrew his divine sword and unleashed the Qi of the White Tiger to repel.
Clang!
The weapons clashed, causing countless Great Assembly Worlds to be shaken.
It was apparent that Nie Zha's move seemed ordinary, yet Qu Mu Lang couldn't hold it.
As soon as the sword and spear collided, he was shaken, with his hair flying wild, and his body bursting with the strong light of the Qu Star.
Qu Mu Lang was greatly alarmed and quickly shouted, "Brothers, help me with one arm!"
"Nie Zha!"
"Cease your arrogance!"
The remaining eight officials of the Qu Star all charged together.
Tusikong Xingguan waved his earth book, and a light membrane the color of earthy yellow covered a large area, encircling all the star officials and Nie Zha.
Gedaodao Xingguan threw the model-like arch bridge in his hand, and it instantly transformed into a golden arch bridge that heavily pressed down on Nie Zha.
Wangliang Xingguan waved his two reins, turning them into two streams of divine dragons that galloped and roared on the left and right.
The remaining Cèyī, Wàipíng Xingguan, and others all displayed their powerful magic.
Qu Mu Lang raised his treasured sword, the Qu Star light piercing through the heavens and earth, crashing down on Nie Zha's forehead like a collapse of the Mount Buzhou.
Only the Junanmeng Xingguan stood still, seemingly brewing something.
Nie Zha fought against many with no fear at all. Raising his big spear, he blocked numerous weapons while he struck his waist with one hand, roaring, "Go!"
In an instant, the Naga's belt transformed into a colossal python over ten thousand zhangs long. It opened its bloodthirsty mouth and swung its tail like a massive pillar. Within the light membrane released by the earth book, it wildly charged and crashed.
Suddenly, Junanmen Star shouted loudly, "Nie Zha, when I call your name, dare you to answer?"
He possesses a powerful "Concept-based" technique called "Asking for Names". If someone answers, they will immediately be trapped.
Nie Zha was unaware of this and laughed, "What's the problem if I don't answer? Show me any magic, I'll see what happens!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shadowy image of a heavenly gate appeared, spewing out celestial nets and tightly wrapping Nie Zha.
Nie Zha's face changed, as he didn't expect to fall into the opponent's trap.
As the peak of the Immortal Realm, he had once overpowered ninety-six demons and devils, and his combat experience was not ordinary. He naturally knew that being trapped by celestial nets would put him at a disadvantage.
Seeing this, Nie Zha hurriedly shouted, "Transform!"
In the next moment, his figure grew like a child, and he transformed into several tens of zhangs tall. With a face as pale as milk, he looked fierce, and his armor was magnificent. He had three heads and eight arms and nine eyes.
In each of the eight arms, he held a weapon or magical artifact, such as the Jingang club, knife, sword, hammer, ring, rope, cover, and shuttlecock.
This is Nie Zha's "small body method." Although it is not as brave as his "big body," under the form of three heads, eight arms, and nine eyes, he can observe everything with no blind spot for 720 degrees. Moreover, each head's three eyes can penetrate illusions, preventing his yuan spirit from being attacked.
Indeed, as soon as Nie Zha manifested three heads and eight arms, he threw the shuttlecock, which instantly exploded the Heavenly Gate and caused the celestial nets to collapse on their own.
Chen Yun, witnessing Nie Zha's commanding presence and fending off the nine officials of the Qu Star, couldn't help but silently admire him in his heart. It's no wonder he is the legendary Third Prince, truly brave and heroic.
Suddenly, he noticed that General Zhao Da had somehow started fighting with Li Jing.
General Zhao Da danced his two divine dragons, one spouting fire and the other splashing water, displaying the power of both heaven and earth.
General Li Jing, who was in the air, remained motionless, simply waving his divine umbrella. Bursting out with Buddha's radiance, it transformed into a colossal wheel of virtue. Golden light suddenly shone forth, sweeping through the surroundings and repelling the two divine dragons outside.
That wasn't enough, the sleeping Treasure-giving Mouse on Li Jing's shoulder suddenly opened its eyes and attacked with a flash.
Initially, the treasure-giving mouse was only the size of a palm. However, by the time it arrived in front of General Zhao Da, it was as large as a white elephant.
With a sudden movement, it opened its blood-red mouth, and its rows of teeth, like sharp blades of green steel, bit down towards Zhao Da.
General Zhao Da growled, "Monster, how dare you harm me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dense yellow qi burst from his back and transformed into the Yinglong. It opened its mouth wide and stretched out its claws, grabbing towards the front.
The treasure-giving mouse, seeing that its strike missed, immediately transformed into a flash and retreated back, once again hiding on Li Jing's shoulder.
The nine officials of the Qu Star are in battle with Nie Zha.
The nine officials of the Máo Star are fiercely battling the nine-headed Bull Demon King.
General Zhao Da is engaged in a magical duel with Li Jing.
The sky and earth have changed colors, the sun and moon have lost their brightness, and thunder rumbles loudly. This is truly a magnificent battle!
The common soldiers could not understand what was happening, only feeling the flashing of light, which prompted them to continually praise.
The cultivators in Liyang City have lower cultivation levels, and while they cannot perceive the intricacies, their faces show a serious expression. They understand that these divine battles may seem harmless to the surroundings, but even a slight leak of power could shatter the entire world.
There were quite a few deities among the Khitan troops, so they could discern the profoundness.
The Qishou Tiannv was secretly startled.
The patriarchs of Hu, Huang, and Bai grandmothers were all terrified.
The Black Mother was so speechless and kept smiling bitterly.
The remaining cultivators like Niu Dali, Jiao Daoren, and Zhang Qian, who have lower cultivation levels, could only feel the boundless power; they knew nothing else.
If there was anyone whose expression was different, it would likely be Chen Yun alone.
His cultivation realm was not as high as Qishou, Tiannv, Black Mother, and Hu Sanpatriarch. According to reason, he should not see it so clearly.
However, Chen Yun had an instinctive intuition that although Nie Zha, Li Jing, and the nine-headed Bull Demon King seemed to be in the upper hand, they actually had a great chance of losing.
It's hard to explain.
He could feel that the eighteen officials of the stars had not yet displayed their strongest power.
"Hoping I'm overthinking."
Chen Yun was constantly thinking inside, "Hoping that Nie Zha, Li Jing, and the nine-headed Bull Demon King can defeat these nineteen sacred ones in one move would be best. Then I wouldn't need to call for help, saving me some time."
Just as he was thinking, suddenly came a roar from the nine-headed Bull Demon King in the front.
Moo!
A deafening, thunderous roar like that of a boundless bull echoed through the sky.
In that instant, the entire earth seemed to violently tremble as the sound reverberated.
All the auspicious light and floating clouds in the sky were scattered and dispersed.
Looking intently, Chen Yun saw that the nine-headed Bull Demon King had been suppressed by the nine officials of the Máo Star.
Especially Tianyuan Xingguan, who held a bull whip in his hand and whipped the nine-headed Bull Demon King, striking him with each swing. The whip left deep wounds on the demon king's body, although he could theoretically resist, he couldn't muster the strength to do so.
Chen Yun immediately understood that Tianyuan was the farm of the heavenly court.
Tianyuan Xingguan, the celestial officer of Tianyuan Star, is the shepherd of deities. Naturally, he has control over the nine-headed Bull Demon King.
He furrowed his brow and was about to call the nine-headed Bull Demon King back to avoid capture.
Unexpectedly, before he could even call out, the nine-headed Bull Demon King became enraged, "You damned scoundrels have angered me. I will make you all pay with your lives!"
After that, he gave up all resistance, allowing the nine officials to blow him to the ground.
The nine-headed Bull Demon King rolled on the ground, stood up, and chuckled before revealing his true form, which was that of a large black cow with nine heads.
This huge black cow was no ordinary beast. Each of the nine heads was as imposing as a mountain, and the eighteen eyes all radiated intense red light, akin to gamma-ray bursts. Its eighteen horns were like mountains of blades, and its rows of teeth were like sharp blades.
From head to tail, it was over ten thousand zhangs long, and from hoof to back, it was about eight thousand zhangs high.
Indeed!
Indeed, it was magnificent to the extreme!
When the nine-headed Bull Demon King revealed its true form, it stood like a vast mountain range along the banks of the Yellow River.
His nine heads all shouted in unison, "Nine scoundrels! What can you do to us now?"
