Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"what?"

"My Dharma Body power has actually been broken?"

Dongfang Fu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he watched this scene.

From the beginning of my cultivation until now.

He had only ever seen powerful cultivators at the Dharma Aspect Realm casually suppress Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

I have never seen anyone break through the power of a Dharma Form with the power of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

"hiss!"

"At the Nascent Soul stage."

"Reversing the Dharma Aspect Realm?"

Not only Dongfang Fu, but all the disciples present gasped in shock.

Such a scene is unprecedented.

Generally speaking, a peak Nascent Soul cultivator who manages to escape with their life from an early-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator is an absolute prodigy, worthy of pride.

To attempt to defeat a Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator with only Nascent Soul cultivation is simply going against the natural order!

No one has ever succeeded in this endeavor.

But they witnessed it with their own eyes.

"wrong!"

"Junior Brother Zhang's magical power... is extremely special."

"It contains a strange power, no weaker than the power of a Dharma Body!"

Among the disciples present, only Li Yan, who was in the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, noticed something amiss.

But all he knew was that this strange power existed.

However, its origin is unknown.

"A ten-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is incredible. That final stage, the quantitative change leads to a qualitative change, and it can even refine his magical power to be comparable to the Dharma Aspect Realm!"

"It's truly unbelievable. As expected of a tenth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, coupled with that fifth-tier magic weapon and the activation of fifth-tier techniques, he was actually able to contend with the power of the Dharma Aspect."

"But such power is not the norm. The young master's current mana consumption must be extremely astonishing, and Dongfang Fu has not yet used his trump cards. There is still no hope of victory."

...

The celestial rulers on the high platform were filled with amazement.

The disciples were puzzled.

They knew perfectly well that Zhang Yan's dantian contained a ten-turn nascent soul, a feat unprecedented in history!

Only with such a heaven-defying Nascent Soul could one set a precedent for defying the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Moreover, the Kui Niu True Eye is an extremely rare treasure; only when the two are combined can they have such a miraculous effect.

"It is my fault."

"This kid's strength has exceeded my expectations."

"Indeed, he can stand on his own."

Even the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was moved by this scene.

Although Zhang Yan still had no hope of victory.

But this is enough to prove that,
"I am now."

"The rate at which mana is consumed."

"It's more than ten times the usual number, we must finish this quickly!"

Zhang Yan thought to himself, his entire body enveloped in blinding lightning.

Activating the Tricolor Spirit Ring and the Kui Niu True Eye, the magical power contained within his nascent soul poured out like a waterfall.

If it were someone like Huang Yun'er, who was at the mid-stage of the sixth level of the Nascent Soul realm...

In no time, it will turn into a dried-up human body.

Only Zhang Yan possessed extremely refined magical power, with a total magical power ten times that of an ordinary person.

Only then can such terrifying consumption be sustained.

But it can't last long either.

Zhang Yan calculated that it would take at most ten breaths.

"enough!"

Zhang Yan's gaze was firm, and the lightning around him shone brightly to the extreme.

The first breath.

Zhang Yan held the Kui Niu True Eye in his hand and used the fifth-order technique "Virtual Thunder and Lightning" to enhance himself.

His body moved like a dragon, tearing through the void, scattering thunder in all directions. Wherever he passed, the mink heads formed by the power of the Dharma form shattered continuously.

By the third breath, all eight rings of Dharma power surrounding the mink head had vanished.

"how is this possible?"

"How on earth did he do it?"

At this moment, the Dharma form released by Dongfang Fu was filled with horror.

Even now, he still hasn't realized what's happening.

Even if they are of the same level.

It will take some effort to decipher his eight mink heads.

Not to mention Zhang Yan, who is only in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

"So what if we crack it?"

"I want to see how long you can hold on."

Dongfang Fu took a deep breath and simply unleashed a punch using his Dharma form!
The true form of the Dharma image is even more powerful than the Dharma image itself.

The attack of the Dharma Body is comparable to that of a magic weapon of the same level!
Bang!
The Dharma Image Fist, shrouded in blue light, smashed towards Zhang Yan, who was charging towards it.

The fourth breath.

Zhang Yan had very little time left and no chance to dodge, so he had no choice but to confront them head-on.

"Lightning Palm!"

Zhang Yan activated his fourth-order thunder technique, unleashing a torrent of thunderbolts from his right palm, which clung to the palm lines and unleashed power that was no less than Dongfang Fu's Dharma Body Fist.

boom!
Thunder and cold fire collide, constantly clashing and eroding each other.

Before the seventeen-foot-tall Buddha statue, Zhang Yan, as insignificant as an ant, stopped Dongfang Fu with only his right hand.

This scene.

Like a mayfly trying to shake a giant tree, it was incredibly awe-inspiring.

Everyone was stunned and speechless.

"Using the Nascent Soul to shake the Dharma Form."

You're the first one!

Dongfang Fu's face was ashen, and he spat out a few words through gritted teeth.

A battle today.

Zhang Yan used his Nascent Soul to challenge the Dharma Image.

Even if he wins, he will lose all face.

It was like a strong man wielding an iron knife having his arm chopped off by a child with only a bamboo sword.

"This is your own choice."

"I want to prove my abilities."

Zhang Yan replied calmly, his gaze as firm as iron.

He did this simply so that the Lord of the Divine Weapon Pavilion would have no reason to refuse him as the leader.

Regardless of who it is, disciples at the Dharma Aspect Realm are free to do as they please.

only.

Dongfang Fu delivered himself to the door, only to be humiliated by him.

The fifth breath.

"Insanity!"

"You think you've already won?"

Dongfang Fu was furious, his Dharma image wide open with angry eyes, like a demonic statue, ferocious and terrifying.

boom!
The power of the Dharma Image surged forth, converging towards the giant fist.

Zhang Yan was forced to retreat, but he was not injured.

He possessed a top-grade fourth-tier silver-plated Qilin armor, given to him by the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

In addition, there is the fifth-order spell "Virtual Thunder and Lightning".

The body becomes ethereal, only suffering half the damage.

Even when facing him, Dongfang Fu was in complete control.

But Dongfang Fu was already furious. He had originally wanted to maintain his dignity as a Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator.

But now I can't care about that anymore.

Without using his trump card, he has no chance against Zhang Yan!
"Starfire Cold Waterfall!"

After forcing Zhang Yan to retreat, Dongfang Fu rode his Dharma form straight into the sky, his entire body enveloped in white, cold flames.

The cold flames blotted out the sky and the sun, resembling a vast ocean.

Suddenly.

The sea of ​​fire solidified, then erupted like a volcano.

A powerful surge of energy from the early stages of the Dharma Aspect Realm swept across the land.

The sea of ​​fire collapsed, leaving only a white meteorite, hundreds of feet in size and almost tangible, in the sky.

It exudes an aura of destruction.

It was terrifying to the extreme.

Even the array surrounding the arena rippled, as if it were about to shatter.

"Dongfang Fu has used his last trump card!"

"What a mess!"

The Crimson Heavenly Lord, who was in charge of presiding over the duel, couldn't help but curse.

This move is Dongfang's trump card, his most treasured secret.

Even if you participate, you'll be ranked among the disciples of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

It was only used once.

Now, facing Zhang Yan...

But it was used again.

"It's not entirely Dongfang Fu's fault."

"Zhang Yan's strength is indeed freakish!"

Crimson Heavenly Lord glanced at Zhang Yan again and sighed.

If Zhang Yan's strength hadn't exceeded everyone's expectations, Dongfang Fu wouldn't have been forced into this situation.

Zhang Yan did not admit defeat.

Even the Crimson Heavenly Lord could not interfere with the battle.

We can only keep watching.

"We absolutely cannot let Zhang Yan get hurt."

Crimson Heavenly Lord was completely focused, and he made his move the moment the fiery meteor fell.

The outcome of the contest is no longer important.

The important thing is.

Zhang Yan cannot afford to cause any problems.

"Zhang Yan!"

"What do you have to fight me with!"

Dongfang Fu opened his mouth in a Dharma form, his voice loud and resounding through the sky.

He stands tall in the sky.

The hundred-foot-tall fiery meteor crashed down, and even the arena couldn't escape its impact. Let alone Zhang Yan, who was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Even if it were me.

"We must temporarily avoid Dongfang Fu's attack."

"Junior Brother Zhang has no regrets about losing; he is still honorable despite his defeat."

Outside the arena, Lin Qingyue exclaimed in admiration.

Song Qizhen, Huang Yun'er, and the others remained silent, but their eyes were filled with admiration.

Senior Brother Zhang Yan.

It has reached an unprecedented level.

If they were of equal cultivation level, Dongfang Fu would definitely not be able to withstand a single move from Zhang Yan.

I know this.

It is enough.

"Is Zhang Yan even human?"

"If he were to fight me with magic."

"If I use these trump cards, I definitely won't last a single move!"

Of all the disciples, only Zhou Yuan had an extremely unpleasant expression.

Although he had lost before.

However, in his opinion, he was only slightly inferior to Zhang Yan.

However, Zhang Yan has now proven the facts.

He was totally wrong.

If it were a battle of magic with him, and Zhang Yan used a fifth-order lightning technique, he wouldn't be able to withstand even a single move.

"Pavilion Master."

"Although the young master is no match for him."

"But we can't let the young master feel disheartened!"

On the high platform, all the Heavenly Lords looked at the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master and unanimously offered their advice.

Although the challenge was destined to fail.

However, maintaining the original decision is clearly unreasonable.

It is also difficult to convince the public.

With the strength Zhang Yan has demonstrated, he is more than qualified to be the leader of the new generation of disciples!

"I know."

Even if that kid loses.

"I will also announce that command belongs to him."

Taking advantage of the situation, the master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion yielded.

"The Pavilion Master is wise!"

Only then did the heavenly rulers cease their discussion.

However, the battle of wits continued nonetheless.

Zhang Yan did not admit defeat.

……

In the arena.

The seventh breath.

Zhang Yan's gaze was solemn.

That cold, fiery meteor was undoubtedly the most terrifying attack he had ever faced alone since embarking on the path of cultivation.

"But that's not enough!"

Zhang Yan gave a low shout.

The remaining magical power within the tenth-stage Nascent Soul was all poured out!

Three-colored ripples spread across the void, magnificent and splendid.

The illusory images of nascent souls on nine lotus platforms illuminated the heavens and earth, awe-inspiring and breathtaking!
"Illusory Thunder and Lightning!"

"Lightning Palm!"

Zhang Yan raised the Kui Niu True Eye high, simultaneously activating two major magical techniques.

His body was covered in dazzling lightning, the lightning flashed, and he soared upwards!
this moment.

Zhang Yan is like a thunder tree, stubbornly rising from the ground, carrying an indomitable belief, determined to create a new world.

His nascent soul in his dantian, surrounded by a three-colored spiritual ring, enveloped the nascent soul's arms.

The innate talent brought by the tenth-stage Nascent Soul.

The blessing was placed on Zhang Yan's arms.

Thunder raged through the void, its terrifying aura of destruction rivaling that of the Coldfire Meteor!
"How can it be!"

At this moment, everyone present was astonished.

With his cultivation level reaching the mid-Nascent Soul stage, Zhang Yan unleashed a power comparable to a full-force attack from the early-stage Dharma Aspect realm!

To know.

Dongfang Fuke is not yet a beginner in the Dharma Realm.

His physical form was seventeen zhang tall.

If it were a cultivator with a ten-zhang Dharma Avatar, they might have been instantly killed by Zhang Yan's attack!

The outcome was originally a foregone conclusion.

This caused another upheaval.

The eighth breath.

The thunder tree that Zhang Yan transformed into collided with the devastating cold fire meteor.

boom!
The vast expanse of heaven and earth was filled with lightning and fire.

"what's the result?"

The disciples with lower cultivation levels were completely bewildered and asked those around them for help.

"Neither side is better or worse?"

"Is it really possible for the fight to end in a draw?"

The Heavenly Emperors, however, saw through everything and understood the core of the arena.

Zhang Yan, imbued with countless thunderbolts, clashed violently with Dongfang Fu's Cold Fire Meteor, resulting in a stalemate.

Both of them were rapidly depleting their magical power.

Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators don't even qualify to be looked at.

"I was attacked by a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"It ended in a draw?"

Dongfang Fu couldn't believe it, but Zhang Yan's power was terrifyingly tenacious and impossible to suppress.

"No!"

"I want to win!"

While Dongfang Fu was unwilling to accept defeat, Zhang Yan's eyes were blazing with fighting spirit!
The ninth breath!
hum!
With the final burst of magical power, Zhang Yan released the Kui Niu True Eye from his hand.

And in his hands, the Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon swords reappeared!

"Silence reigns in all directions!"

The essence of the two swords merged, and the phantoms of the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon appeared in the same sky, giving birth to a power of annihilation.

This was the last straw that broke the camel's back!
"cut!"

The two swords slashed simultaneously, unleashing a vast and powerful force of annihilation that shook the heavens and earth.

Bang!
The cold fire meteor finally couldn't withstand the onslaught; its flames dimmed, and it exploded from within, unleashing a torrent of cold fire that poured down from the sky!

The tenth breath.

Above the sky, all was serene.

Only one sword can reach the heavens!

"No!"

The sword light of annihilation magnified in his eyes. Dongfang Fu withdrew from his Dharma form and reverted to his true form, his face filled with terror.

"It's just a contest of magic."

The voice of the Crimson Heavenly Lord rang out just in time.

A law suddenly appeared, instantly dispelling Zhang Yan's sword light and saving Dongfang Fu.

When he tried to save Zhang Yan, a smile appeared on his lips, but he did not make a move.

"Won!"

Zhang Yan, holding his two swords, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, an endless emptiness came.

There wasn't a trace of magic power in his dantian, so he couldn't even maintain levitation.

His body fell towards the arena.

"Brother!"

Suddenly, two sweet cries rang out.

Immediately afterwards, two beautiful figures leaped up from below the arena almost simultaneously.

They supported Zhang Yan from both sides.

"Junior Sister Yoona".

"Junior Sister Wanyi."

Zhang Yan's face was somewhat pale. He looked at the two women and called out to them.

The two women were Huang Yun'er and Xiao Wanyi.

"How did you come?"

The two women exchanged a glance and asked almost simultaneously.

Then, both women simultaneously avoided eye contact, their faces slightly flushed.

"Cough cough."

"Take me back first."

Zhang Yan spoke first, otherwise it would be too conspicuous with so many disciples watching.

The two women then helped Zhang Yan into the midst of the disciples.

"Young Master wins!"

On the high platform, the celestial lords remained silent for a long time, their hearts filled with joy.

"This boy."

The Divine Weapon Pavilion Master's mouth was stretched almost to the back of his ears.

In front of almost the entire pavilion at the same time, he defeated Dongfang Fu, who was in the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, with his cultivation at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Zhang Yan's achievements are enough to secure his place in history.

"Zhang Yan has successfully completed the challenge."

"I was being arbitrary before."

"It is hereby announced that Zhang Yan shall exercise command over the new generation of disciples."

"In addition, I would like to add that a grand ceremony will be held one month from now to appoint Zhang Yan as the Young Pavilion Master!"

The voice of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master resounded throughout heaven and earth.

The appointment of the young master was decided long ago.

However, it just so happens that this is the perfect opportunity to announce it.

"Senior Brother is going to be appointed as the Young Master!"

The disciples who were familiar with Zhang Yan were taken aback upon hearing this, but were overjoyed.

For Zhang Yan, this was truly a double blessing! (End of Chapter)
