Jing Yan and Jin Xian prepared their stances, a great battle was about to erupt.
The two of them could go all out without worrying about the impact damaging the Hongjun Heavenly Palace. Outside, with the strength of Jing Yan and Jin Xian, their fight would undoubtedly affect a vast area. But inside this Heavenly Palace, not even beings at the Controller Level could easily cause large-scale damage.
Among the Five Ultimate Forces, in terms of absolute defense capabilities, Hongjun Heavenly Palace is the first.
This is because Ancestor Hong Jun of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace is one of the most skilled in Array Formation within the Endless Chaos. Both inside and outside Hongjun Heavenly Palace, it’s unknown how many significant formations Ancestor Hong Jun personally arranged. Coupled with the Reincarnation Path as a Treasure, the defense of Hongjun Heavenly Palace is unparalleled in Chaos.
Even though most formations are not usually activated, they are not sothing that Jing Yan and Jin Xian could destroy.
"Junior Brother Jing Yan, please!" Jin Xian gestured.
"Senior Brother Jin Xian, please!" Jing Yan returned the courtesy.
Their exchange was not a true life-and-death struggle. Indeed, it was more like a spar. Jin Xian was simply unable to fathom how Jing Yan’s strength had reached a level that could pass through the Second Layer of the Reincarnation Path. He wouldn’t have peace until he confird it in person.
After they started, neither wasted ti probing; they imdiately engaged in fierce combat. Both Jing Yan and Jin Xian had trained in Hongng Dao Pattern. During their clash, the golden Divine Patterns ford intricate and dazzling patterns, making for a spectacular sight.
Jin Xian had mastered the Hongng Dao Pattern to the Fifth Level, one level higher than Jing Yan’s. He had spent an imnse amount of ti cultivating after entering the Mid-stage of the All Things Realm, spanning billions of years, so achieving the fifth level of the Hongng Dao Pattern was quite reasonable.
Yet, even with the Fifth Level Hongng Dao Pattern, Jin Xian’s Attack Power wasn’t particularly powerful. He primarily cultivated two Secret Techniques, one being the Hongng Dao Pattern, and the other known for its defense. He had reached a relatively advanced level in this defensive Secret Technique as well. Much of his ti, energy, and resources were spent on this defensive technique, leading to shortcomings in his attack.
Jing Yan’s Ancient Tree Inheritance had superior defenses, but its offense was equally remarkable. This Chaos Level top-tier Secret Technique might even surpass the Hongng Dao Pattern. Jin Xian’s defensive Secret Technique was even more lacking in comparison to the Ancient Tree Inheritance.
Furthermore, the three Taoist Laws mastered by Jing Yan were not inferior to those mastered by Jin Xian. Jing Yan was in the Early Stage of the All Things Realm, while Jin Xian was in the Mid-stage, nearing Late Stage. In terms of individual dao mastery, Jin Xian indeed had an edge over Jing Yan. However, Jing Yan’s Fate Dao had unique properties that significantly bridged the gap. The Void Dao also allowed Jing Yan to take the initiative in the duel.
Thus, from the start of this battle, the outco was already determined. Although Jin Xian was incredibly strong, he was no match for Jing Yan.
During the battle, he was suppressed by Jing Yan from the start. His occasional counterattacks posed no threat to Jing Yan.
Jing Yan didn’t let Jin Xian lose face. He intentionally reduced his Attack Power. After battling for less than thirty minutes, Jin Xian realized this and voluntarily conceded.
"Brother Jing Yan!" Jin Xian bowed to Jing Yan.
Upon realizing his strength was inferior to Jing Yan’s, he changed his address to Brother instead of Junior Brother. In Hongjun Heavenly Palace, Outer Disciples referred to Inner Sect Disciples as Brother or Sister. Inner Sect Disciples referred to Core Disciples as Brother or Sister. Among disciples of the sa level, whoever was more powerful was the Brother or Sister.
Ranking by strength rather than age is common throughout Chaos.
"Your strength is outstanding, Brother Jing Yan. I am indeed not your match. Thank you for allowing to save face," Jin Xian said slowly.
"Junior Brother, you are too kind," Jing Yan replied with a smile.
Thereafter, Jin Xian bowed again to the Vice Palace Master and the Hall Masters at the other end before turning to leave.
"This is incredible!"
"Just entered the All Things Realm and can already defeat Jin Xian, tsk tsk..."
"Nuwa Palace Master, your luck is truly enviable! Sigh, why don’t I have such a talented compatriot?"
So Hall Masters sighed, while others envied the Nuwa Palace Master. Jing Yan defeating Jin Xian was actually expected by everyone. Jing Yan passing through the Second Layer of the Reincarnation Path was real and could never have been achieved through trickery.
"Jing Yan, let’s go. Aren’t you going to the Treasure Vault to exchange resources?" Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen said.
"Yes, let’s go to the Treasure Vault," Jing Yan replied.
Following Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen, Jing Yan went to the Treasure Vault of the Hongjun Heavenly Palace. The Treasure Vault appeared to be an ordinary palace. However, its interior was like its own dinsion. Inside the Treasure Vault, there were so staff mbers, all directly under the command of Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen.
"Jing Yan, during your battle with Jin Xian just now, the Longsword you wielded seed sowhat weak in power. Don’t you have a stronger weapon?" Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen asked Jing Yan.
The Colorful Cloud Sword was considered one of the most powerful weapons in Jing Yan’s ho universe, but it was much weaker in Endless Chaos.
"I do have other weapon-type treasures with greater Power, but none are swords. I’m more accustod to using a sword, so I haven’t changed weapons," Jing Yan responded.
Not only was he accustod to the Colorful Cloud Sword, but he also had an attachnt to it. The Colorful Cloud Sword had been with Jing Yan for a long ti.
"Then you should get a more powerful weapon, as it would significantly enhance your overall Attack Power," Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen nodded and continued, "There are so sword-type weapons in the Treasure Vault you can check out."
As Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen spoke, he waved his hand, and several sword-shaped weapons appeared.
They were all sword-type weapons.
So were longswords, so short swords, so had wide blades, while others were narrow blades.
There were about a dozen of them, each possessing imnse power, far stronger than the Colorful Cloud Sword.
"Vice Palace Master, let first exchange so things I don’t need for Points," Jing Yan said.
Imdiately, he retrieved various miscellaneous items from his Qiankun World, including Chaos Level weapons like those obtained from Die Dong, which included both Chaos Level weapons and Defensive Treasures. He also took out the Azure Green Ziluo Lan, worth over a million, which he also used, but keeping it was a waste and it could only serve as decoration, so he exchanged everything for Points in Hongjun Heavenly Palace.
"Sure. Let tally it up," Vice Palace Master Ye Zhen nodded.
Among the items Jing Yan brought out, the most valuable was undoubtedly the Azure Green Ziluo Lan, followed by the weapons and Defensive Treasures from Die Dong.
