Chapter 414 A Thought Can Make It Happen
Below the dueling platform.
Yue Chenfeng, Mo Chen, and Jiang Chuan sat by the railing, their gazes fixed on Tie Dan and Yuan Huo Yun Ni, who were facing each other from the left and right.
"Senior brothers, which side do you favor more?" Jiang Chuan asked with great interest.
"Naturally, it's Senior Sister Su." Mo Chen smiled. "Although Junior Brother Chen has unparalleled talent and has forged a 45,000-zhang Heavenly Gang Dharma Form, he has only been a Nascent Soul True Monarch for a few years. His Nascent Soul has not yet been fully refined, so he cannot unleash much of the power of a Nascent Soul True Monarch."
Mo Chen was, after all, a True Monarch at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
In his opinion, in terms of aptitude and innate talent alone, Senior Sister Su was indeed far inferior to Junior Brother and could not compare.
After all, everyone present knew about the junior brother's aptitude and potential; even the senior brother, Yue Chenfeng, could hardly compete with him.
It's not an exaggeration on his part. With such terrifying talent, a contract with a Heavenly Dipper Mystic Beast, and the cultivation of the Jade Purity Immortal Technique, in battles between cultivators of the same realm, Junior Brother could almost crush newly promoted True Monarchs with an overwhelming advantage.
The problem is that this duel between true masters is not fair!
In terms of cultivation, Taoist practice, and combat strength, Senior Sister Su has devoted herself to cultivation for six hundred years and her realm has long reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Even if she uses a secret technique to keep her realm at the mid-Nascent Soul stage this time, she can still crush Junior Brother in terms of hard power.
"Junior Brother Jiang seems to favor Junior Brother Chen?"
Yue Chenfeng instantly understood Jiang Chuan's subtext.
The fact that this question was raised indicates that Junior Brother Jiang believes Junior Brother has a certain chance of defeating Junior Sister Su.
At least that's how it appears to them.
"I think it's a draw," Jiang Chuan guessed.
Brother Mo's words are well said, but he overlooked one point.
The fight between Senior Sister Su and Junior Brother was not a life-or-death battle, but rather a friendly exchange between fellow disciples.
In this situation, in order to let her junior brother personally experience the power of a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch, Senior Sister Su would definitely not go all out. Instead, she would upgrade the intensity of her spells and the intensity of the battle step by step according to her junior brother's combat strength.
In this way, it probably won't be difficult for the junior brother to withstand thirty moves from Senior Sister Su.
However, if a newly promoted True Monarch who can only exert 30% or 40% of his combat power can fight Senior Sister Su for fifty moves, the implications behind it are self-evident.
The result of this match was a draw, and probably no one would question that.
"My views differ somewhat from those of my two junior brothers," Yue Chenfeng said naturally.
Junior Brother Mo and Junior Brother Jiang didn't think much of Junior Brother, a conclusion drawn from their own understanding of the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm.
But he's different!
As the senior disciple of the Dongming Changqing lineage, he had fought against the peerless geniuses of the Yuqing lineage.
Yue Chenfeng knew very well that the confidence possessed by geniuses like his junior brother was not the recklessness of a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, but rather a certainty about their own path of cultivation, or rather, the way of cultivation.
Such confident geniuses can always break through barriers and create miraculous achievements in seemingly impossible situations.
"Senior Brother, do you think Junior Brother will win?"
Mo Chen and Jiang Chuan's expressions changed slightly, and they looked at Yue Chenfeng with surprise.
"You two junior brothers will find out the specific answer as you read on."
With a thought, Yue Chenfeng saw wind rise, clouds surge, and fire roar on the platform.
A duel is about to begin.
"Junior brother, aren't you going to make the first move?"
Su Muyu stood behind Yuan Huoyunmao, the flickering red and white flames slowly illuminating her delicate face.
She could sense Yuan Huoyun's apprehension towards Tie Dan, as if the other party possessed a bloodline specifically designed to counter the strange fire.
However, Su Muyu had no intention of replacing the beast with another beast.
Nothing more than self-confidence!
Moreover, this was an unfair competition to begin with.
"Senior sister, please be careful."
The Mustard Spirit Ring in Chen Beiwu's hand flickered slightly, and the figures of Golden Egg, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling appeared one after another.
-
Understanding Chen Beiwu's meaning, the three little ones did not make a move, but stood on his shoulders and quietly watched Tie Dan perform.
Iron Egg raised its front paws, pressed down gently, and the battle began.
"boom!"
An invisible force field suddenly spread out from the tip of the iron egg's claw, igniting the fire-attribute spiritual power contained within the spirit.
In an instant, a blazing sun slowly rose from behind Tie Dan, and the radiance it emitted gradually formed a dark golden candlelight.
As the candle flame flickered, the power of the Nine Forbidden Mysteries of Candlelight began to manifest.
The Light Restriction and Spirit Stagnation Technique took effect first, locking onto the Yuanhuo Yunmao's magical power and greatly reducing the power of the surging red and white flames around its body.
The Flame Forbidden Blaze burst forth with brilliant light, igniting the Yuanhuo Yunni's magical power and protective flames, emitting a sizzling sound.
The aura of restraint and soul-suppressing technique sealed off Yuan Huoyun's divine sense, causing his eyes to darken and his divine sense to become sluggish and heavy.
Breaking the barrier, it manifested a burst of radiant light, locking onto the true form of the Yuanhuo Yunmao, making it impossible for it to escape.
Binding and Locking: Chains of blazing heat condense and wrap around the four legs and torso of the Yuanhuo Yunmai, restricting the opponent's movements.
The sealing and source-severing technique isolates the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, transforming the spiritual energy permeating the entire fighting arena into the magical power wielded by Tie Dan.
The "Slaying Forbidden Evil" skill cannot inflict special damage on wind and fire mystical beasts like the Yuanhuo Yunmao, but it can greatly enhance the power of the Nine Forbidden Profound Insights and adds multiple layers of restrictive power to burn the beasts.
However, in the blink of an eye, the seventh of the Nine Forbidden Restrictions of Candlelight was completed, unleashing immense power. This caused Yuan Huoyunmao's true form to manifest, but his power plummeted, making movement difficult and resulting in numerous injuries.
As for the other two restrictions, Refining Restriction: Transforming Evil and Silent Restriction: Returning to Nothingness are restrictions specifically designed to target evil and defilement, and Tie Dan did not waste his magic power to actually activate them.
"Crackling and popping!"
As the roar resounded, Tie Dan's pupils shrank, and he saw the Yuan Huo Yun Ni explode with crimson and white light, its figure suddenly disappearing.
The scattered sparks and scorching heat waves spread out in concentric circles, forming visible fire waves that ravaged the entire dueling arena.
Chen Beiwu remained calm, constantly probing the surrounding energy with his divine sense, without making a move.
Because Tie Dan was blocking his way, whenever a wave of fire approached, it would be drawn in and devoured by the crimson Nirvana fire that flickered on his body.
On the other side, Su Muyu received the seal with one hand, his expression calm, with fiery clouds constantly spreading around him.
"boom!"
The next instant, Tie Dan's vision blurred, and Yuan Huoyun suddenly appeared in front of him.
"What kind of escape technique is this? It can even break free from the Nine Forbidden Candles!"
Tie Dan was startled and urged the Crimson Nirvana Fire to meet the attack head-on.
So what if the escape technique is strange?
When competing against other fire-elemental demon kings, it fears no one.
Even if Yuan Huoyun's cultivation level exceeds two thousand years and is a minor realm higher than it, Tie Dan is confident that he can defeat it in a head-on battle.
"roar!"
Yuanhuo Yunni roared, and its massive lion body exploded once again.
Unlike before, this time Yuanhuo Yunni pushed the Flowing Fire Cloud Body to its limit, transforming it into a vast expanse of crimson and white fire clouds, intending to engulf Tie Dan's entire body.
At the same time, Yuan Huoyunmao launched the Wildfire Cloud Decree, and an invisible and intangible mental fire calamity quietly formed, attempting to ignite Tie Dan's physical body, magic power, divine consciousness, and inner core.
"Huh, the Wildfire Cloud Edict is ineffective."
Su Muyu frowned slightly, but a smile appeared on her face.
Interesting, really interesting.
Even a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch would feel his scalp tingle when faced with the raging cloud-like primordial fire, and would have to use a high-grade fourth-tier mystic treasure to isolate himself from the inner fire calamity in order to remain unharmed.
Unexpectedly, a newly promoted fourth-realm demon king, a black dog, was able to ignore this Heavenly Gang Profound Technique. The bloodline contained within its body is probably comparable to that of a fifth-order Yuan Beast.
However, this is also good. Since her junior brother's contracted Iron Egg has extremely high fire resistance, she doesn't need to hold back and deliberately suppress the strength of Yuan Huo Yun Mao.
Try this trick.
Su Muyu made a hand seal and stopped probing.
"Buzz!"
As a series of slight tremors rang out, dozens of streams of light suddenly entered the body of the Yuanhuo Yunni.
Nine layers of glazed tiles!
"Earth (戊) remains unmoved!"
"Zhou Tianxinghui!"
Undying Golden Light!
Aoki Huayan! "
With the blessing of thirty fourth-order defensive mystic arts and thirty fourth-order buff mystic arts, in an instant, the Yuanhuo Yunni was covered in radiant light, and its power surged.
Upon seeing this, Chen Beiwu's expression turned slightly serious.
With the blessing of the three veins of the Tongcan Beast, and with the Nascent Soul Yang Spirit as the main force, the Nascent Soul True Lord of the Immortal Alliance can unleash a fourth-order profound technique with a single thought.
"."
On this basis, Immortal Alliance True Monarchs who have forged a Heavenly Gang Nascent Soul or higher can comprehend the fourth-order profound arts corresponding to the bloodline of the same beast, and reach the realm of "understanding all phenomena and achieving enlightenment in an instant".
Having grasped this realm, the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Immortal Alliance can instantly split his Nascent Soul Yang Spirit into dozens of divine senses and release dozens of fourth-order profound techniques with just a thought.
As a price to pay for differentiated spellcasting, these fourth-tier mystical arts will have their power reduced by two-thirds to one-third depending on the True Monarch's cultivation level.
To some extent, this can be considered the essential difference between the Immortal Alliance True Monarch and the Southern Wilderness True Monarch!
The Immortal Alliance True Monarch can cultivate immortality by borrowing beasts, instantly cast spells, and realize some of the power of the innate Dao Body, while the Southern Wilderness True Monarch can only rely on Xuanbao to quickly cast fourth-order Xuan techniques.
Of course, such methods are ultimately minor compared to the true power of an innate Dao body.
However, Senior Sister Su had been immersed in the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm for six hundred years, and had comprehended a vast number of profound arts, which she could unleash with a single thought.
With the enhancement of numerous mystical arts, even if the power of a fourth-order mystical art is reduced by one-third, it is still an absolute killing move that a Nascent Soul True Monarch in the Southern Wilderness cannot withstand.
"It's a pity that my Dao Seed Nascent Soul is not yet complete, otherwise I could also achieve the myriad phenomena in an instant," Chen Beiwu thought to himself.
The newly promoted Nascent Soul True Monarch's flaws are simply too fatal.
Even though Chen Beiwu forged a Dao Seed Nascent Soul, he could not avoid the period of weakness that every Nascent Soul True Monarch in the Immortal Alliance must go through.
Otherwise, with his comprehension, he could have achieved even more exaggerated spellcasting effects than Senior Sister Su.
"Severing the life force of metal!"
"Sever the body and imprison the spirit!"
"Burning fire consumes the spirit!"
"Soul-Suppressing and God-Locking!"
Su Muyu's fingertip hand seals suddenly changed, and she put her hands together again.
Twenty-six fourth-order debuff spells of varying colors suddenly tore through space and landed on Tie Dan.
"Sizzle sizzle!"
"."
A black mist spewed from Tie Dan's nostrils, and countless fine strands of malevolent golden energy suddenly emerged from his skin.
Immediately, Tie Dan's pupils turned a ghastly green, his body movements became sluggish and slow, and even his four legs quietly ignited with layers of black flames. His aura plummeted, and he revealed a look of pain.
Chen Beiwu remained unmoved, his palms facing down, embodying the meaning of the Primordial Return to Nothingness, his five fingers spread open, drawing in the essence of Xuan Yuan Heavy Water, forming a hand seal aligned with the appearance of the Primordial Fire Cloud.
Taking advantage of the opportunity created by Tie Dan, Chen Beiwu directly unleashed the Xuan Yuan Gui Xu Seal.
As soon as this seal appeared, the scene of countless living beings rising and falling in the Xuan Shui quietly emerged, transforming into a colossal seal that blotted out the sky and returned to the void.
As the most majestic of the five primordial seals, the Xuan Yuan Gui Xu Seal possesses unparalleled power, capable of solidifying the form of the Primordial Beginning and returning to the void to bury the Dao.
Even though the Yuanhuo Yunni possesses the profound power of the Flowing Fire Cloud Body and its true form is elusive and unpredictable, it is still difficult to escape the lock of the Xuan Yuan Gui Xu Seal.
"boom!"
At the same moment, realizing the difficulty of the mystical arts affecting him, Tie Dan did not hesitate to use the special mystical power he had awakened after advancing to the Demon King level.
[Mysterious Power]: Alternating Calamity Fire [Attribute]: Fire [Rank]: Fourth-Tier Supreme [Description]: A single thought ignites the soul, creating a substitute for calamity fire. By activating this mysterious power, Tie Dan can instantly consume his mana to condense a substitute for calamity fire with a completely identical aura to his original body.
At critical moments, Tie Dan can activate the alternation effect, transferring all his injuries and spells to the Calamity Fire Substitute, causing the Substitute to burst into a sky-piercing flame, while the main body can use the force of the flame burst to achieve a teleportation attack without any energy.
"Boom!"
As the flames burst into the sky, they emitted extremely high temperatures.
Tie Dan's figure flashed, and he quietly appeared behind Yuan Huoyun, his whole body ignited with crimson gold flames.
【Mysterious Technique】: Extinction of Flames 【Attribute】: Fire 【Rank】: Fifth-Order Yuan Technique 【Description】: All fires blaze fiercely, but ultimately return to ashes. This Mysterious Technique does not burn mortal objects, nor scorch the soul; it is specifically designed to counter True Flame and Strange Fire.
Activating the Profound Path allows one to instantly transform into countless strands of scorching flames, weaving them into a net to lock onto the strange fire, suppress its innate characteristics, trigger the Lotus of Annihilation, and dismantle its origin.
In an instant, centered on the iron egg's crimson fire, countless layers of wispy flames split apart, intertwining into a net that enveloped the heavens and earth.
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
Faced with these two moves, Yuanhuo Yunni calmly raised its head and let out a roar that swept across the universe, allowing Li Yan Jinmie to break through the layers of defensive screens surrounding it.
Nine layers of glazed tiles, shattered!
The Earth element (戊土) remains unmoved; it is broken!
Zhou Tian Xing Hui, break!
Undying golden light, break!
Just before the last three defensive barriers were about to be breached, the Heavenly Roar Profound Power activated by Yuan Huo Yun Mao began to display its power.
As for the immensely powerful Xuan Yuan Gui Xu Seal, it believed that the contracted cultivator would not allow it to fall.
Upon hearing the roar, Tie Dan's pupils constricted, instinctively sensing something was wrong. He tried to activate the alternating tribulation fire to escape again.
"Certainly!"
Su Muyu gave a soft shout and formed a hand seal with one hand, causing Tie Dan to freeze in place.
She then flashed and landed in front of Yuan Huoyun, facing the Xuan Yuan Gui Xu Seal that Chen Beiwu had unleashed.
The stars shift and the constellations turn.
Su Muyu stretched out her right hand and pointed forward, causing the void to tremble. A twisted vortex appeared, slowly swallowing and annihilating the Xuan Yuan Gui Xu Seal.
"Junior brother, aren't you going to get serious?"
As soon as Su Muyu finished speaking, a lion shadow, condensed to its extreme, roared out with the roar of Yuan Huoyun and attacked Tie Dan.
The Cloud-like Roar is unparalleled in power; if it were to hit head-on, even a fourth-realm demon king would temporarily lose his fighting ability.
"Is the battle about to be decided?"
Mo Chen frowned slightly in the audience.
He didn't understand why his junior brother neither used the Heavenly Gang Dharma Form nor allowed his fellow beasts to join the attack, but instead opted for a two-on-two duel.
Is it coming soon?
Yue Chenfeng's eyes narrowed as he keenly sensed the change in Tie Dan's aura.
From beginning to end, he felt that the black dog named Tiedan was hiding many secrets.
In retrospect, his intuition was correct.
"I still couldn't hide it from my senior sister." Chen Beiwu chuckled.
The next instant, a scene that astonished Su Muyu and Yuan Huoyun suddenly appeared.
Tie Dan stood in mid-air, neither dodging nor avoiding, taking the full force of Yun Mao Tianhou's attack. Not only was he unharmed, but his aura remained completely unchanged.
"This shouldn't be!" Mo Chen frowned.
Although the fourth-realm demon king who has achieved the Three Immortals is tough and difficult to kill, it is impossible for him to ignore Yun Ni Tianhou.
Even a fourth-realm demon king with over four thousand years of cultivation and a realm comparable to the late Nascent Soul stage would at least suffer minor injuries if he tried to withstand it head-on.
Tie Dan's cultivation level is only a little over 1,700 years. How did he manage to achieve this?
So that's how it is, it's actually a Dharma form!
Yue Chenfeng's mind stirred slightly as he discerned something amiss.
Yuan Huoyun, standing on the stage, trembled. Looking at Tie Dan, who was standing in mid-air, he instinctively felt fear and slowly retreated to Su Muyu's side, no longer displaying his previous domineering aura.
Su Muyu's expression also hardened, her eyes fixed on Tie Dan.
What's going on? Is Junior Brother cheating?!
This imposing aura gave her an intuition that she was facing a late-stage Nascent Soul demon king.
