Chapter 1652 Defeating the Three Great Guardian Spirits
Beneath the surface of the lake, undercurrents surged, as if a powerful will was awakening.
Those True Spirit cubs, formed from the blood of high-level True Spirits, were now lurking at the bottom of the lake, eyeing that glimmer of immortal golden light with predatory intent.
Deeper still, there seemed to be several extremely subtle presences lurking.
"It seems that taking this immortal gold won't be so easy." Zhang Xuan's gaze was solemn.
He could sense that forcibly taking the immortal gold might lead to unpredictable consequences.
Just as he was weighing his options, another unexpected event occurred!
"Boom!"
A deep, thunderous sound, like the beating of a drum, came from the bottom of the lake!
A heart that had been dormant for millennia began to beat slowly but powerfully!
With that heartbeat, the entire Spirit Blood Lake erupted in excitement!
The blood of countless true spirits surged wildly, and countless phantoms of true spirits let out earth-shattering roars!
The golden light in the center of the lake suddenly intensified!
A massive, chaotic will swept out from the center of the Spirit Blood Lake!
"Could it be a newborn spirit nurtured in the Spirit Blood Lake?" Zhang Xuan was shocked.
He tried to communicate with that newborn will through his mind.
His response was a chaotic mix of confusion and hunger.
"Hunger?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback, but then a thought struck him. Without hesitation, he sent several seventh-order golden pills he had refined to the core of the spirit blood lake.
"Om-"
The core of the Spirit Blood Lake transformed into a bottomless pit, frantically devouring the energy and essence needed to refine a seventh-order Golden Core!
"Boom! Boom!"
The heartbeat grew stronger and faster!
That newfound will also grew rapidly and became clear!
An incomparably noble and ancient supreme pressure swept out from the center of the lake!
This oppressive force caused Zhang Xuan's ethereal tree of Dao rules and authority to sway spontaneously, generating a strong resonance!
"This is... an existence that transcends ordinary true spirits!"
Zhang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. He activated the Heavenly Pivot Dharma Eye to its limit, piercing through layers of surging spiritual blood.
Beneath the dazzling celestial gold, at the confluence of endless true spiritual origins, a chaotic cocoon of light was slowly expanding and contracting.
The cocoon of light is not a physical entity, but rather a composite of countless chaotic currents and primordial Dao patterns, its form vaguely exhibiting the strange characteristics of a dragon's head and a phoenix's tail.
It seems to embody the best qualities of many innate deities from the beginning of time, exuding an aura of supreme nobility that commands all spirits!
The Supreme True Spirit – Dijiang!
It is the most ancient existence among the true spirits!
The moment Zhang Xuan saw the Dijiang cub clearly, a sudden change occurred!
"Roar--!"
"Ugh——!"
"Zheng——!"
The three roars, each containing a different profound meaning of the Great Dao, were equally terrifying.
The explosions resounded from three directions around the Spirit Blood Lake, carrying overwhelming killing intent and pointing directly at Zhang Xuan!
Its oppressive aura had clearly reached the level of the early Mahayana stage!
The creature that attacked from the east was a Void Shadow Hunter Beast whose entire body was composed of shattered space and shadows.
The creature that attacked from the west was a black tortoise whose body was shrouded in deathly aura and ghostly flames.
In the north, there is a myriad-law star tree whose roots penetrate into the void and evolve into the stars of the heavens.
These three guardian spirits are manifestations of the laws that were born alongside Dijiang, and they are determined to protect their master to the death, not allowing any other being to lay a finger on them!
"As expected, there is a protector! And such a powerful one!" Zhang Xuan's eyes instantly turned sharp as knives.
Faced with three beings at the early stage of Mahayana cultivation, he not only did not back down, but instead a surge of overwhelming fighting spirit rose from his chest!
"Perfect, this will allow me to verify the Dao Fruit I have restored, as well as the power of this Myriad Manifestations Returning to Nothingness Array!"
With a thought, he no longer held back in the slightest!
"Om-!"
The Great Array of Bones Returning to Nothingness has been fully activated!
Centered on Zhang Xuan, an indescribably massive and complex array instantly unfolded.
Within the great array's domain, a Daoist aura of returning to stillness permeated the air.
The spatial structure became extremely unstable, and the energy began to spontaneously disintegrate!
The moment the three guardian spirits rushed into the domain, the light of the laws on their bodies visibly dimmed, and their movements were also invisibly slowed and weakened!
Immediately afterwards, the complete, ethereal tree of the Great Dao's rules and authority appeared brilliantly behind him!
With two main trunks reaching for the sky and thirteen side branches swaying, it exudes the supreme Daoist charm that governs all laws!
"Roar!"
The Void Shadow Beast launched the first attack. It merged into the shadows and instantly appeared behind Zhang Xuan, its claws tearing down with the power to tear through space!
Zhang Xuanzhen's demonic body Dharma form's main authority suddenly erupted!
A true magic form with bulging muscles stepped out from behind him!
The Dharma Body Giant Fist was unleashed without any fancy moves; its pure, extreme power caused the void to tremble. It carried the power of the Myriad Manifestations Returning to the Void Array and fiercely met the spatial claw!
“Boom!”
Fists and claws clashed, producing a loud bang!
That power, strong enough to tear space apart, was actually shattered by the chaotic might and the Daoist essence contained within the True Magic Form!
The Void Shadow Beast let out a painful roar as its claws shattered and its massive body flew backward, the spatial fragments on its surface dimming considerably!
"Wow—!"
At the same time, the Xuan Turtle's annihilating breath swept in like a gray torrent.
Wherever it goes, even light and sound are swallowed up and annihilated!
"The golden crow patrols the sky, burning everything to ashes!"
Zhang Xuan's thoughts shifted again, and the main body of the Fallen Golden Crow phenomenon radiated endless brilliance!
A golden crow, burning with dark gold, soared into the sky!
The golden crow spread its wings, and the dark golden sun covered the sky, colliding fiercely with the silent, extinguishing breath!
"Chichichichi——!"
The sun, with its extreme yang and strength, and the deathly aura, with its extreme yin and coldness, frantically erode and wear each other down!
However, Zhang Xuan's Golden Crow Origin contains a trace of the Daoist charm of Nirvana after falling into the world, making it of extremely high quality!
With the blessing of the Myriad Things Returning to the Void Formation, the dark golden flames actually flowed upwards against the current, continuously evaporating and purifying the gray tortoise breath!
The black tortoise let out an angry roar, and the ghostly flames around it dimmed a bit!
"All laws and stars, suppress!"
The final Myriad Laws Star Tree waved its branches and leaves, drawing upon the power of the stars in the heavens, transforming into countless dazzling chains of laws that enveloped Zhang Xuan, intending to seal him along with the Great Dao Tree!
"Immortal essence from the bones, empower my body!" Zhang Xuan roared.
In the center of the Myriad Manifestations Return to the Void Formation, an inextinguishable Dao Flame burned within the tallest skull. It took a step forward and merged into the True Demon Body Dharma Image behind Zhang Xuan!
"Crack! Click!"
The True Magic Avatar's already towering body expanded once more, its muscular surface now covered with a layer of skeletal armor!
The skeleton is naturally engraved with profound Dao patterns, resonating with the lifelong Dao principles of the great human beings!
The True Demon Body Dharma Form instantly rose several levels!
The chains of stellar laws binding the true demon's physical form snapped instantly.
"impossible!"
The Myriad Laws Star Tree emitted an incredible fluctuation of will. Its myriad laws of evolution appeared so pale and powerless in the face of the opponent's tyrannical true demonic body dharma form!
The three guardian spirits were all thwarted in a short period of time under the suppression of the Myriad Manifestations Returning to the Void Formation, which was activated to its strongest state by Zhang Xuan, and the Tree of Authority of the Complete Void Dao Rules!
