The attack of Taoist Zhunti went towards the protective great array, instantly triggering its power. A surge of light erupted, incredibly dazzling. The barrier, with its flowing luminescence, exuded a powerful aura.
However, even with the protective great array's might, it was but a trifle in the eyes of Zhunti, a future saint.
As Taoist Zhunti continued to exert his strength, the array's barrier could not withstand it, and cracks began to spread. In an instant, they covered the entire barrier of the great array.
"Everyone, rally yourselves! This Taoist Zhunti is merely a defeated foe of ours, how can we fall into the hands of such a coward!"
"Exactly! With our master absent, how can we, as treasures of Xu Fang's Treasure Group, surrender?"
"Come, come, let this Taoist Zhunti witness the power of our Xu Fang lineage of magical treasures!"
Seeing that the protective great array was about to fail, the magical treasures within the array cheered each other on. Soon, they simultaneously unleashed their power, reinforcing the protective great array against Taoist Zhunti's assault.
"As expected of Xu Fang's magical treasures!"
Taoist Zhunti exclaimed in admiration as he watched the magical treasures within the great array unleash their power.
Even though he held a grudge against Xu Fang, he had to admit that Xu Fang's treasures, like their master, were incredibly formidable and marvelous.
Even detached from their master, Xu Fang, the power they unleashed was not to be underestimated.
This made Taoist Zhunti even happier. If these treasures were this powerful when uncontrolled, how much more so would they be if they fell into his hands? With the balance shifted, would Xu Fang still be his opponent?
Thinking of this, Taoist Zhunti became even more delighted and couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Haha! You may resist, but the more you resist, the happier I will be!"
Hearing Taoist Zhunti's words, the magical treasures were filled with indignation and immediately poured all their strength into attacking, intending to make Taoist Zhunti pay.
However, fighting separately from their master, their unleashed power, though far surpassing ordinary magical treasures, still could not manifest their true strength.
Soon, under Taoist Zhunti's assault, the protective great array inevitably shattered inch by inch. With a resounding crash, it finally collapsed.
"Stubborn fools! Once I refine you, will you not still be my treasures?"
Taoist Zhunti laughed, looking at the gradually collapsing protective great array and then at the group of magical treasures surrounding the Enlightenment Tea Tree. He felt an unprecedented sense of triumph.
After so many years, he could finally turn the tables and achieve his revenge against Xu Fang! He had waited for this day for so long!
Seeing the smug smile on Taoist Zhunti's face, the magical treasures cursed him.
"This Zhunti is daydreaming! Does he really think we will submit to his Western sect?"
"Even if the array is broken, it matters not. Brothers and sisters, let's show the West what spirit our treasures possess!"
"There's nothing more to say. A warrior dies for his confidant. Even if we turn to ashes, we will never betray our master!"
The magical treasures understood perfectly. With the array broken and facing Taoist Zhunti, they might not have a chance even if they joined forces.
Since the situation was dire, they were prepared to sacrifice themselves for righteousness.
After all, they were born treasures of Xu Fang's Treasure Group, and they would die as such. The Western sect was never a consideration for them.
"Alas, I have delayed you all. Then there's nothing more to say. I, the Enlightenment Tea Tree, today, as an unofficial member of Xu Fang's Treasure Group, will perish here!"
The Enlightenment Tea Tree, sensing the resolve of the other magical treasures, sighed and also prepared for a noble sacrifice.
Taoist Zhunti, of course, could not hear these words. His gaze was fixed on the group of magical treasures, preparing to collect them all once the array had completely dissipated.
However, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, having heard the words of these magical treasures, was shocked.
"Wait! What are you doing! Don't do this!"
"Xu Fang or the West, it's merely a matter of belonging. There are countless masters; changing masters is a simple matter. Why the need for this!"
The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree pleaded. These magical treasures unleashing their power would certainly not stop Taoist Zhunti.
However, if these magical treasures simultaneously self-destructed, their power would be formidable. Whether Taoist Zhunti was injured or killed, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree wouldn't care much, but if it were to suffer damage as a result, that would be disastrous!
"Haha! I knew the West was not worth it. All the treasures of the West are like this. Don't we know how to choose?"
"Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, weren't you just shouting excitedly? Then come and face death with us!"
"This is what you deserve, reaping what you sow!"
The magical treasures jeered, causing the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to panic.
"You lunatics, all of you are mad!"
"Zhunti, stop! Don't go any further!"
The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree repeatedly shouted, but Taoist Zhunti, deaf to its pleas, saw the array completely vanish and knew it was time to claim his treasures!
Seeing Taoist Zhunti approaching, the magical treasures no longer had the inclination to mock the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and simultaneously unleashed their might.
"Such stubborn little darlings! Break!"
Taoist Zhunti, seeing the surging power directed at him, waved his hand and suppressed the pressure.
Without the protective great array, how could the power unleashed by these self-activating treasures stop him?
Seeing this, the magical treasures were not overly disheartened; it was merely another attempt.
"Alright, since Taoist Zhunti looks down on us so much, how can we not give him a taste of our power?"
"Haha! Well said. Today, if we cannot kill this Taoist Zhunti, we will at least make him suffer!"
"Enough said, let's stop talking. I'll be the first to explode!"
The magical treasures called out to each other, flying in mid-air and surrounding Taoist Zhunti, preparing to deliver a final blow in their last moments.
"So quickly subdued? Wait, something's not right!"
Seeing this display, Taoist Zhunti thought the magical treasures had recognized his power and surrendered to him. He did not stop them, allowing them to surround him.
However, he soon realized something was amiss.
The magical treasures were glowing brightly, interconnected, and their entire forms were swelling. They looked like they were preparing to self-destruct!
"Damn it! How did Xu Fang refine these treasures!"
Taoist Zhunti was greatly alarmed. Trapped within their encirclement, could he withstand it if these magical treasures truly exploded?
The magical treasures were now fully prepared. At the command of the Measure Heaven Ruler, they once again unleashed their power, ready for the final battle of treasures.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Young magical treasures, don't be so hot-tempered, resorting to self-sacrifice at the slightest disagreement."
"If you do this, will I have no treasures to use?"
