The Bodhisattva's illusory form towered thousands of feet, emanating an extremely terrifying power. The immense pressure was enough to make anyone pale in fear, and the surrounding void was twisting and deforming under its influence.

"Boom!"

The giant palm descended, causing the colors of the wind and clouds to change. The surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy was instantly drawn away, further enhancing the pressure of the illusory form. Before it even landed, a huge palm print with distinct fingers had already solidified on the ground.

Manjusri Bodhisattva, who had repeatedly been thwarted by Ye Xiangnan, seemed to have regained his confidence in Chen Yuan. His golden body was shattered, and he lost to Ye Xiangnan not because he was weak, but because Ye Xiangnan was too strong!

In every aspect, Ye Xiangnan was a line above him, making it impossible to win!

But Chen Yuan was different. Although he was also very powerful, worthy of being called the best below immortals in the Central Plains, and even possessed a force of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

But in the end, he was still a line weaker.

Not in anything else, but because he had not yet comprehended the rules.

This was the confidence he had to stop, and even overcome, Chen Yuan.

Within the golden light emanating from the giant palm, strands of invisible rule power permeated, directly solidifying the illusory giant palm. It was a force higher than heaven and earth spiritual energy.

One who comprehends the rules can be called a demi-immortal!

In other words, the top three on the Heavenly Ranking had almost transcended the scope of the Five Realms, enough to wield a portion of an immortal's power, like an insurmountable chasm for ordinary people.

But… that was only for ordinary people.

When one's own strength reached its true peak, it was enough to make up for these gaps.

Chen Yuan happened to possess such strength, so he was able to withstand Xiang Qianqiu's rule power earlier.

His physical body was a line stronger than even the demon saints of the demon race, having reached a state of near-perfect flawless completion. His five internal organs were refined to the extreme, forming a self-contained whole.

His primordial spirit was unprecedented and perhaps unrepeatable, a ten-inch primordial spirit that had undergone nine lightning tribulations. Upon entering the Yang Spirit stage, he used that supreme Yang power to reach the peak level.

Except for being slightly lacking in the rules, he had almost no shortcomings.

This was Chen Yuan's confidence.

Therefore, when the Manjusri Bodhisattva's illusory form, based on rules and supplemented by primordial energy, suppressed him with a giant palm, he felt no panic whatsoever.

Only silence.

His expression was calm, his gaze serene. He raised his head and stared at the giant palm falling from the void, even able to sense the rule pressure constantly emanating from the depths of the golden light.

He raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.

Instantly, his internal organs roared, and five-colored streamers flashed, like war drums constantly exploding. The rumbling flow of Qi and blood was like a great river bursting its banks, a stampede of ten thousand horses.

Behind him, a vast figure, no less than the Bodhisattva's illusory form, materialized. That figure was over a thousand feet tall, like a mountain with no end in sight.

Although the face was blurry, the aura surrounding it was extremely powerful.

"Condense!"

Accompanied by Chen Yuan's low roar, he formed complex hand seals, and endless heaven and earth spiritual energy quickly transformed into a vortex, enveloping the thousand-foot figure.

That momentum climbed again and again!

"Break!"

Chen Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he changed his palm into a fist, slowly delivering it. The thousand-foot illusory form also moved with him, extending a massive divine fist to meet the descending golden giant palm.

First there was silence, a silence that lasted for several breaths.

Suddenly, a violent roar erupted.

"Boom!"

The vast aftermath dissipated in all directions, sweeping across the heavens and the earth, and dissipating the dark clouds.

The next moment, both illusory forms shattered simultaneously.

Chen Yuan groaned and retreated more than ten feet.

Manjusri, on the other hand, retreated dozens of feet, his face turning red, a trace of crimson spilling from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with shock, as if he couldn't believe it.

Chen Yuan... in a head-on confrontation, had repelled him!

Even though he had suffered considerable injuries in his previous confrontation with Ye Xiangnan, it was still more than enough to deal with a Yang Spirit True Lord who had not comprehended the rules.

He never expected that the other party would possess such powerful strength.

Not only was it not inferior to him, but it was even a line stronger.

"Amitabha..."

Before Manjusri Bodhisattva could even utter his Buddhist chant, Chen Yuan interrupted him, smashing forward like a cannonball.

The saber light traversed the heavens and the earth!

"Boom!"

A brief roar, and the positions of the two sides were exchanged.

......

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

If one were to talk about intensity, the battle between Xiang Qianqiu and Ye Xiangnan was the most terrifying and the most exciting of all the battles below immortals, a clash of rules, a collision of bodies.

The rolling heaven and earth spiritual energy transformed into various divine beasts, and the boundless dark clouds swept across the heavens and the earth, outlining a magnificent painting filled with an unusual aesthetic.

The God-Slaying Spear's killing intent was earth-shattering, piercing through the void, making Xiang Qianqiu seem like a demon god, unleashing his power on Ye Xiangnan to the fullest.

The other party had taken out the supreme treasure, the God-Slaying Spear. Although Ye Xiangnan did not have an immortal weapon of this level, Martial Emperor City still had some heritage. He took out a three-pointed, double-edged immortal blade.

This was once Lu Chengfeng's weapon, but it had been passed on to him. Although it was not as good as the God-Slaying Spear, it was definitely comparable to the Sky-Penetrating Mirror, the Star Chart, and the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

The two sides even engaged in physical collisions at certain moments. Immortal weapons clashed, and rules were contained within. It seemed as if they were just using techniques like those martial artists in the lower three realms.

But in reality, the moves were seamless, each move and each stance, like a deer hanging its horns, like a heavenly horse soaring through the sky. Every blade, every spear, seemed capable of piercing through the void.

They would clash dozens of times in almost an instant.

As time passed, Ye Xiangnan was ultimately unable to resist Xiang Qianqiu, whether in terms of strength or the level of his immortal weapon, he was slightly inferior.

Being able to barely contend with him for half a quarter of an hour was already commendable.

After all, the stronger one becomes, the greater the gap becomes later on. Sometimes, a mere difference of one line is no less than an insurmountable chasm.

"You... are still far from it!"

Xiang Qianqiu's eyes narrowed, and his pupils intertwined, and a deep double-pupil divine light suddenly erupted. Ye Xiangnan was horrified and quickly condensed a huge shield of nothingness around his body.

But this shield ultimately failed to stop the spear, and it was directly penetrated. That divine light also directly passed through his chest, leaving a hole the size of a fist.

Ye Xiangnan looked down at it, his expression a little ugly. Although his flesh was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, that divine light left behind a trouble that was difficult to get rid of.

It was constantly eroding his bloodline.

"Fight!"

Ye Xiangnan snorted coldly, gritted his teeth, and his fighting spirit rose even higher. He glanced at Chen Yuan in the distance and transmitted his voice:

"This Ye can hold on for at most half a quarter of an hour."

He was here to help, not to risk his life. He had already seen Xiang Qianqiu's strength, and it was indeed a level stronger than him, a difficult opponent to resist.

Half a quarter of an hour was already the state of him giving it his all. If he continued to fight, he might even fall into Xiang Qianqiu's hands.

Therefore, he only gave Chen Yuan half a quarter of an hour.

After half a quarter of an hour, he would leave the battlefield.

And Chen Yuan's reply to him was only a short word:

"Okay!"

The battle continued, and the fighting became more intense, completely entering a white-hot state. Several True Lords in the Primordial Spirit Realm had already fallen on the spot.

On the ground, there were even deep pits left behind.

Finally, in the fierce battle, the first fallen Yang Spirit True Lord appeared. It was the elderly Yang Spirit of the Tai Xu Palace, who had previously joined forces with the Great Turtle of Bi You Palace to stop Puxian Bodhisattva.

However, Puxian Bodhisattva's strength was indeed extraordinary, and he also had an immortal weapon in his hand, and his strength skyrocketed directly, forcing him to burn his primordial spirit and Qi and blood to resist.

After a fierce battle, he finally couldn't hold on anymore. His Yang Spirit had been burned out. He glanced at Tian Xu Daoist, exhaled a turbid breath, and slowly closed his eyes, sitting in meditation in the void.

His mission could be considered complete. Being able to do his best for the sect one last time before his death could be considered a worthy death. The rest depended on what Tian Xu did.

"Farewell, Martial Uncle!"

Tian Xu took a deep breath and bowed towards the direction where the elderly Yang Spirit had fallen.

"Amitabha..."

Puxian Bodhisattva put his palms together and waved his hand to protect his body and send it to the ground. Then, his power increased sharply, and a series of brilliant golden rays of light all bombarded the Great Turtle.

"Roar!"

The Great Turtle roared angrily, and the void shook violently. Under the powerful pressure of Puxian Bodhisattva, he chose to shrink his head back, using his turtle shell to defend against Puxian's attack.

Although the old Yang Spirit of the Tai Xu Palace had fallen, the balance had not been broken in the short term. Although the Great Turtle's strength was not as good as Puxian Bodhisattva, his defense was unparalleled.

At least it was enough to withstand it in the short term.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Jishi Bodhisattva, transformed into a giant ape, roared to the sky. At this moment, he was also under tremendous pressure. Lingxu True Lord, wielding an immortal weapon, was extremely fierce, even more terrifying than before.

He directly shattered one of Jishi Bodhisattva's arms with his sharp sword Qi, broke his Qi and blood body protection, and suppressed him to a disadvantage. He was well aware of the current situation.

This was a battle no less than the previous battle at Zhennan Pass. If they won, half of the Central Plains would belong to Yan. If they lost, Shushan, which had exhausted its heritage, would find it difficult to stand up again in the future.

Therefore, he had no other choice but to fight desperately!

At the same time, Chen Huaiyi's condition was also very poor. Having lost his left arm and suffered heavy injuries, he found it even more difficult to resist the methods of the Seven Kills Hall Master. If it hadn't been for Zhao Danqing's timely assistance, he would have already died in the hands of the Seven Kills Hall Master.

His opponent was changed to Lu Guangsheng, who was also severely injured. The Seven Kills Hall Master had a battle with Zhao Danqing, a battle between the sect leaders of the immortal sects.

Both had immortal weapons to help them, and both had the strength of the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking.

A series of battles were extremely exciting.

Above the Nine Heavens.

The battle between Moro and the Seven Kills Hall Immortal had fallen into a strange state. Moro transformed into eight arms, with Buddha and Demon united, his aura was extraordinary.

The Seven Kills Hall Immortal was withered and dead, his skin sunken, his eyes deep, with a faint blood light.

The area within ten thousand feet had been transformed into a battlefield for immortals to fight.

Terrifying rule power filled it, and every tiny confrontation could distort or even shatter the void. It seemed that both sides were sitting cross-legged, without any other actions.

But the more this kind of rule confrontation was, the more thrilling it was.

Sometimes, victory or defeat would be decided in an instant.

The reason why both sides chose this kind of confrontation was also because neither side had the idea of risking their lives, turning the confrontation into a controllable range, and only distinguishing victory or defeat.

In addition, the strength of the two was also at the same level, and the difference would not be too great.

Risking one's life was very irrational.

The Seven Kills Hall Immortal cherished his life very much, otherwise he would not have slept for so long, using the Divine Source to save his life, while Moro had not recovered from his injuries and was unwilling to fight.

Being able to stop him, and not let this immortal enter the battlefield below, was enough.

At this time, thousands of miles away, there was another subtle battle going on.

This was inside the grotto-heaven opened up by Lu Chengfeng. He and the Buddha sat opposite each other. The Buddha held the white chess pieces, and Lu Chengfeng held the black chess pieces, turning the battlefield of confrontation into a chessboard.

But this kind of chessboard must not be underestimated. This was a chessboard condensed with the power of rules. Whether it was the Buddha or Lu Chengfeng, they were fighting with rules.

"Bang!"

Lu Chengfeng smiled, and the power of rules turned into a black chess piece, pointing at an extremely critical position, directly causing the Buddha's situation to take a turn for the worse.

The Buddha looked at the chessboard, frowned slightly, and pondered.

Lu Chengfeng was leisurely and waited quietly for the Buddha to play chess.

"Benefactor, Carefree One."

The Buddha raised his head and looked at Lu Chengfeng.

"What does the Buddha have to teach?"

"I wonder if benefactor knows how to cultivate the Heavenly Immortal Path?"

"Heavenly Immortal... I have only heard of it, but I have never seen such an existence. Perhaps... that Chu Taizu a thousand years ago might have reached this realm."

Lu Chengfeng shook his head.

"It seems that benefactor knows very little."

"Hehe, after all, I have lived in the outer sea for a long time, and I haven't heard about the world for hundreds of years."

"This poor monk knows some, I wonder if benefactor would like to listen?"

"Please."

"The world is divided into heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are also divided into the mortal world and the immortal domain. The Earthly Immortal Realm is the limit of our human world, and it is difficult to glimpse without the strong and powerful preaching."

"Immortal Domain..."

"That's right, this poor monk has heard..."

......

"Boom!"

Another extreme collision, Puxian Bodhisattva was once again blasted back hundreds of feet by Chen Yuan, and the aura on his body became increasingly weak.

In Chen Yuan's state of going all out, Manjusri Bodhisattva had already been severely injured. He was silently counting the time given by Ye Xiangnan, striving to solve Manjusri within half a quarter of an hour and devour the luck on his body.

Although Manjusri tried his best to resist, he was still a line short. In the end, he couldn't even counterattack.

"Benefactor Chen, this poor monk admits defeat, stop..."

Manjusri Bodhisattva exhaled a long breath and lowered his head.

If he continued to fight, he would not be far from falling.

"Since the Bodhisattva comes from the West, this Chen will naturally send you back to the Western Paradise."

Chen Yuan looked at him indifferently.

"Does Benefactor Chen really want to be irreconcilable with my Buddhist sect?"

Manjusri Bodhisattva frowned.

"The Buddhist sect is full of filth and evil, so what if we are irreconcilable?"

"The Buddha is furious, can Benefactor Chen withstand it?"

"Isn't he already being stopped now?"

"Overbearing, not the way of a king!"

Chen Yuan chuckled and stopped arguing with him unnecessarily. He looked at the other party and said lightly, "This Chen has a saber technique that has been practiced for a long time, please let the Bodhisattva appreciate it!"

"What saber technique?"

"This saber technique, let's call it... Extinguishing Buddha for the time being!"
