Ten streams of aura erupted from Xu Fang. Under the oppressive might of the Beiming Palace, a space was quickly cleared around him.
Seeing this, Kunpeng couldn't help but understand Xu Fang's intentions. After a brief moment of shock, he burst into laughter.
"I never expected you to fight back on the brink of death. But this will only hasten your demise!"
Kunpeng shook his head. But so what? Xu Fang intended to use treasures to break the formation, his focus divided, making it impossible to maintain his defense against the Beiming Palace's engulfment. This would only accelerate his consumption by the Beiming Palace, which was exactly what he wanted!
"Hahaha! I think so too, but my treasures seem unwilling to be pocketed by you."
Xu Fang laughed heartily. Kunpeng's words had thoroughly angered his collection of treasures. Even before he could act, they were impatiently rushing out, grumbling incessantly.
"How can this Kunpeng have the audacity to speak like that? Do our brothers and sisters represent an opportunity he can handle?"
"You giant fool in the sky, are you the Beiming Palace? I've long wanted to pierce you with a single blow!"
"Brothers, what are we waiting for? Shall we have braised wings today!"
Xu Fang listened to their words, feeling speechless. They were just magical artifacts, yet they were thinking about braised wings. If they truly wanted something, wouldn't steamed be better, less likely to cause internal heat?
With the treasures' shouts, over a dozen beams of light shot out from the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Instantly, the treasures swarmed out, hovering around Xu Fang, each filled with fighting spirit.
Upon seeing these treasures appear, Kunpeng immediately unleashed the Beiming Palace's oppressive aura. He was also astonished. However, he quickly regained his composure and continued his taunts.
"Hmph! In this situation, your mental power is insufficient to wield even one treasure, yet you use so many at once. You truly are impatient to die!"
Kunpeng sneered. In his eyes, Xu Fang's actions were merely a final, extravagant act before death. Since Xu Fang was determined to die, he wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
After repelling the Golden-Winged Great Peng Sculpture and Ao Xue with his oppressive might, Kunpeng's figure flashed and disappeared from his spot. When he reappeared, he was standing atop the Beiming Palace, looking down at Xu Fang, who was surrounded by a host of treasures.
"Farewell, Xu Fang!"
Kunpeng said, plunging the Beiming Sword in his hand into the Beiming Palace. Immediately, a colossal light erupted from the Beiming Palace, rippling out in all directions. The colossal beast phantom before the Beiming Palace gate also roared. With this roar, an even more intense oppressive might descended, directly upon Xu Fang. The space created by the treasures around Xu Fang immediately contracted.
"Senior!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Sculpture and Ao Xue saw this and were about to rush forward to help Xu Fang.
"Stop! Just take care of yourselves!"
Xu Fang shouted at them, then looked at Kunpeng standing atop the Beiming Palace, shaking his head.
"Nothing more than this. Beiming Palace, do you truly intend to oppose us?"
"Hahaha! Are you conversing with your treasures like this? How laughable!"
Kunpeng scoffed. Was Xu Fang truly on the verge of madness, threatening his treasures because he couldn't deal with him? He had no idea that the Beiming Palace was currently conversing with Xu Fang's array of treasures.
"To be frank, although you have many treasures and your master is full of fighting spirit, he still needs to be able to use you all. Hahaha!"
The Beiming Palace, like Kunpeng, laughed aloud, provoking the treasures below. Under its oppressive might, Xu Fang could only passively defend. Forcing the use of treasures would only hasten his demise. He couldn't fathom how he could possibly lose!
These words immediately stirred the indignation of the treasures, who began to retort.
"Good! You, an artifact, dare to be so arrogant? If we many treasures don't act arrogantly, wouldn't that be an insult to your initiative?"
"Beiming Palace, is it? I've noted the name. You won't escape this time!"
"Enough talk, enough talk. Master, hurry up and make your move. If you don't, I will!"
Seeing this, Xu Fang looked at Kunpeng and the Beiming Palace. As expected, their thinking processes were identical to Kunpeng and his treasures!
"Kunpeng, who told you that using treasures requires mental power?"
Xu Fang smiled. Others had this limitation, but if he didn't suppress them, his treasures would have already swarmed out.
"Fine, today I'll show you what an automatic combat system is. Go!"
At Xu Fang's command, the treasures hovering beside him, already impatient, hesitated no longer and flew out on their own.
"I am, after all, a treasure of merit. Being matched by innate treasures is one thing, but you, a mere acquired spiritual treasure, dare to be arrogant before me?"
The Liangtian Ruler shouted loudly, taking the lead. The aura of merit instantly permeated outwards, striking the Beiming Palace's oppressive might around Xu Fang into disarray.
"I have always harbored the ambition to pierce the heavens. Now, I'll test it on you, Beiming Palace!"
The Ruyi Golden Cudgel said, instantly shrinking from the size of an embroidered needle, then rapidly expanding until it was like a towering tree, surging upwards. The aura of merit from the Liangtian Ruler tightly wrapped around the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, assisting it in breaking through the Beiming Palace's oppressive might and extending all the way to the underside of the Beiming Palace.
*Boom!*
The Ruyi Golden Cudgel struck with a sudden impact, causing the Beiming Palace to heave violently, making Kunpeng, who was standing on it, sway precariously, almost falling off.
"This..."
Kunpeng barely managed to steady himself, staring in astonishment at the power unleashed by these two treasures. Under such immense pressure, Xu Fang could not only use treasures but wield two at once. This was incredibly bizarre and beyond Kunpeng's expectations. However, seeing the Ruyi Golden Cudgel about to break through the oppressive might, Kunpeng couldn't afford to think further. He quickly plunged the Beiming Sword downwards, activating the Beiming Palace's power.
"How dare you hit me, you dead stick!"
The Beiming Palace also cried out loudly, filled with immense resentment. It immediately unleashed its oppressive might once more, attempting to suppress the still-extending Ruyi Golden Cudgel.
"This Kunpeng is a bit of a nuisance. Let him be stunned for a while!"
The Six Roots of Purity Bamboo said, unleashing its power and following the opening created by the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, heading towards Kunpeng.
"Hahaha! My Dinghai Divine Pearls will also lend a hand!"
"Just in time, my Jingshen Halberd can also assist!"
As their words fell, the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls spread out, unleashing their power and following the Pure Bamboo. The Jingshen Halberd also possessed similar abilities and now eagerly joined in to help.
