107: Chapter 107 The peerless goddess in phoenix robes! Graceful as a fairy! What do you think of me, young master?

Upon hearing Zhou Liangan's aggressive words, Sun Zhihe's exquisite, beautiful eyes instantly widened, and the corners of her eyes were tinged with a faint red.

Shame and anger surged within her eyes like a tidal wave. Her beautiful eyes were fixed firmly on Zhou Liangan, and the Killing Intent radiating from her body boiled frantically like boiling water, so much so that even the surrounding air seemed to tremble, frozen by this sharp Aura.

"Audacious thief! How dare you spout such nonsense and speak so insolently here!" Sun Zhihe's delicate body trembled with rage. Her voice was cold and sharp, filled with the extreme fury of a young girl who had been offended, as she cursed him, enunciating every word clearly.

Having grown up as the apple of the Sun Family's eye and a favored daughter of heaven, she had never been treated with such frivolous provocation. At this moment, she felt filled with shame and indignation, wishing she could immediately step forward and tear this arrogant man before her to shreds.

Listening to Sun Zhihe's angry rebuke, Zhou Liangan merely curled his lips into a cold sneer and took a slow, unhurried step forward.

It was this seemingly casual step that caused the dormant Aura upon him to instantly erupt without reservation!

A pressure as majestic as a mountain and as vast as the sea swept toward Sun Zhihe like a tsunami.

Sun Zhihe felt as if she had been ruthlessly crushed by a massive mountain; even breathing became incredibly difficult, and a heavy, aching sensation spread through her limbs and bones, as if the strength to even stand had been drained away in an instant.

Her originally fair, delicate, and flawless face instantly lost all color, replaced by an expression of panic and helplessness. The sharpness in her beautiful eyes had vanished, leaving only overwhelming fear and chaos. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and she lacked even the strength to retreat.

Zhou Liangan swept a cold glance over Sun Zhihe, who was slumped under the pressure. A flash of undisguised disdain crossed his deep eyes; that gaze was like looking at an ant that did not know its own limits.

He spoke from a position of superiority, his voice carrying an imperial coldness and domineering air, "Even your grandfather Sun Tianlu would not dare to speak to me in such a tone. How dare you, based on your own standing, be so arrogant and domineering in front of me?"

"Why must Young Master Zhou make things difficult for my ignorant granddaughter?" After saying this, Sun Tianlu immediately took a fierce step forward. His aged yet thick Aura erupted instantly, forcefully helping Sun Zhihe withstand the tidal, relentless pressure from Zhou Liangan.

Only then did Sun Zhihe feel a sense of relief. She staggered back a few steps, clutching her chest and gasping for air, while her gaze toward Zhou Liangan held even deeper trepidation.

Sun Tianlu looked up at Zhou Liangan, his aged face filled with deep helplessness. He cupped his hands toward Zhou Liangan, his tone carrying a hint of pleading, "Young Master Zhou! My granddaughter is young and ignorant, and she speaks without discretion. I hope that Young Master Zhou, in your magnanimity, will not take it to heart and will forgive her."

Zhou Liangan remained in that condescending posture, his cold gaze like a sharp blade as he scrutinized Sun Tianlu. His tone was slow and unhurried, yet every word was piercing, "Sun Tianlu, do you not love to lecture on the cycle of Karma? The cause you planted with your own hands—is it not reasonable and perfectly normal to taste such a result now?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Tianlu let out a long sigh. The helplessness on his face deepened, and a trace of bitterness that was hard to conceal hid in the depths of his eyes.

He knew that today's matter could not be resolved with a simple apology; Zhou Liangan had come this time specifically to settle accounts.

Sun Tianlu raised his head, his eyes becoming resolute. He looked at Zhou Liangan and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Zhou! I, Sun, will bear the consequences of my own actions alone; I will never implicate others. Since Young Master Zhou has come in person today, let us two stop wasting words and settle this with our true strength!"

As his voice fell, the Aura on Sun Tianlu's body suddenly became sharp. There was no more retreat, and the Aura belonging to a top-tier expert erupted outward.

Hearing this, Zhou Liangan instead gave a light laugh, a laugh filled with wanton arrogance, "Good! That is exactly what I intended. It is the perfect opportunity to let those cowardly rats hiding in the shadows watch closely as I personally execute you right here!"

As soon as his words fell, ten thousand rays of brilliant golden light suddenly illuminated from Zhou Liangan's body, shooting up into the sky and dyeing the entire firmament a dazzling gold.

The Tianji Qiankun Technique within his body instantly operated to the extreme. The Spiritual Qi around him surged like a frantic vortex, while Spiritual Qi rushed and roared within his Meridians, emitting a deafening sound.

Immediately following this, using the Tianji Qiankun Technique as his Foundation, he exerted his full strength to unleash the Martial Skill, Baji Fist!

In an instant, a magnificently grand Eight-Armed Vajra Dharma Idol soared into the sky behind him!

This Vajra was gilded all over, standing a hundred zhang tall. Its eight thick arms stretched out into the Void Realm, and in each hand, without exception, it held a massive, brilliantly shining star!

The stars shimmered with flowing light, containing a terrifying power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. Merely by hovering there, they caused the surrounding space to slightly distort.

Once the Martial Skill Dharma Idol appeared, the heavens and earth instantly changed color!

The originally clear sky instantly churned with dark clouds, and a violent gale arose. Sand and stones flew across the surrounding ground, and dust billowed. The ten thousand rays of golden light intertwined with the Aura of the Vajra Dharma Idol, forming a terrifying power that swept across heaven and earth, as if it intended to completely crush this world.

Upon seeing this, Sun Tianlu's expression became extremely grave. He immediately stepped into the Void Realm and soared into the air, his robes flapping wildly in the gale.

He formed seals with his hands rapidly in front of his chest. As the hand seals shifted, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth frantically gathered toward him.

Subsequently, a vast, magnificent, and incredibly solemn phantom of a Buddha slowly condensed and took shape behind him.

This Buddha phantom possessed a solemn appearance, with Buddha light shining all around it, carrying an Aura that was both salvific to all living beings and boundlessly majestic. The moment the phantom took shape, an intensely dazzling golden light diffused outward, forming a thick golden light curtain that, like a prison, slowly enveloped Zhou Liangan entirely.

Inside the light curtain, Sanskrit sounds echoed, and Buddha chants lingered. A strange power permeated the area—this was clearly a trace of the Domain power that only experts of the Ningshen Realm could Revered Master!

Sun Tianlu was only at the half-step Ningshen level; being able to barely manifest a Domain was already the result of exhausting all his strength.

Upon sensing this Domain power, not only was there no trace of fear on Zhou Liangan's face, but his excitement grew even deeper.

Ever since he had suffered from a Domain at the hands of the Seventh Grand Elder Long Chengji at Tiananmen last time, he had been forgetting food and sleep during this period, devotedly researching how to cope with the Domain power of experts. Now, it was the perfect time to use Sun Tianlu to test his skills.

He knew clearly in his heart that within a Domain, it would provide a great positive boost to the user, while for an enemy who intruded into the Domain, it would generate all-around negative effects.

Just at the moment of stepping into this golden light curtain, Zhou Liangan could clearly feel that the power of the Eight-Armed Vajra Dharma Idol behind him had been forcefully cut by nearly ten percent, and his body's movements had become somewhat sluggish.

Conversely, for Sun Tianlu, within his own Domain, although his Aura did not rise particularly significantly, it had indeed increased by about half a percent, and the circulation of power throughout his body was becoming increasingly smooth.

However, Zhou Liangan quickly discovered a flaw—the speed at which the Spiritual Qi around Sun Tianlu was being inhaled and consumed had reached an astonishing level, consuming a massive amount of Spiritual Qi in the blink of an eye.

It seemed that the Domain manifested by this half-step Ningshen expert had a tremendous activation cost, and the consumption of Spiritual Qi was terrifying.

Zhou Liangan instantly understood the key. Right now, Sun Tianlu opening the Domain immediately upon starting was likely because he had already witnessed the terror of his true strength during their last encounter and knew that he was by no means comparable to an ordinary expert at the Peak of the second stage of Gang Transformation. That was why he dared not be the slightest bit careless, unleashing a lethal move right from the start, intending to decide the victory in one strike and settle the battle quickly.

His deduction was entirely correct. When Sun Tianlu had clashed with Zhou Liangan last time, he had already deeply experienced the terror of this young man, whose combat power far exceeded his apparent cultivation level. Even though he was at the half-step Ningshen level, he did not have absolute certainty of victory, so this time, he dared not hold anything back at all.

Sun Tianlu did not waste another word with Zhou Liangan. His eyes sharpened, and he immediately struck out a palm fiercely toward the front!

In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color. That massive Buddha phantom raised a golden giant hand that covered the sky, carrying overwhelming Buddha Power and pressure, and slammed it down heavily toward Zhou Liangan's location!

Wherever the giant hand passed, space collapsed layer by layer, and the wind pressure was terrifying to the extreme. The ground below was instantly pressed with countless huge cracks.

Seeing this, Zhou Liangan curled his lips into a cold smile, without the slightest intention of dodging.

With a movement of his mind, the eight arms of the Eight-Armed Vajra behind him exerted force simultaneously, hurling the eight stars held in its hands like cannonballs, smashing them fiercely toward that giant Buddha hand!

The eight great stars, carrying a whistling sound as they broke through the air and wrapped in power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, collided violently with that giant golden hand!

Boom—!!!

The deafening roar resounded throughout heaven and earth, and a terrifying energy storm swept frantically in all directions. The surrounding Void Realm even vaguely showed signs of being about to deform and shatter, with spatial ripples spreading out in circles; the scene was horrifying to the extreme.

The Domain that Sun Tianlu had manifested relying on his half-step Ningshen cultivation, the moment the eight great stars simultaneously smashed into the Buddha phantom, the surrounding golden Domain barrier immediately showed signs of being about to shatter. The edges of the Domain were covered with one fine crack after another, as if it could completely collapse at any moment.

Sun Zhihe stood below, looking up at this heart-stopping battle in the Void Realm. She was dumbfounded, frozen in place, and unable to move.

Looking at the cracks on the Domain barrier and seeing her grandfather Sun Tianlu gradually falling into a disadvantageous position, her heart pounded wildly, and her mind went blank.

Sun Zhihe could not believe that her grandfather was actually about to be defeated!

Grandfather was a peerless expert of the half-step Ningshen level!

Even looking at the entire world, her grandfather's cultivation belonged to the most top-tier group of people; he was an existence looked up to by countless others and was the pillar of the Sun Family. How could he actually be defeated at the hands of Zhou Liangan now?

Thinking of this, Sun Zhihe's beautiful eyes widened, and her small hands clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palms. A stormy sea had already risen in her heart; feelings of fear, shock, and disbelief intertwined, leaving her body icy cold.

At the same time, inside the Blessed Land.

Qin Xiuyuan was staring intently at everything happening inside Sun Tianlu's Domain through the Myriad Image Mirror in his hand.

When he saw the scene of the eight stars smashing the giant Buddha hand and the Domain on the verge of shattering, his pupils suddenly constricted, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and soaking his collar.

"How is this possible? Sun Tianlu is a powerhouse at the half-step Ningshen Realm, yet he is about to be defeated by that man?!" Qin Xiuyuan exclaimed in disbelief, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

He knew better than anyone that the current situation had reached a critical moment of life and death; if he remained here, once Sun Tianlu was defeated, the next person Zhou Liangan would kill would be him, and he could absolutely not be a match for Zhou Liangan!

Qin Xiuyuan's expression hardened abruptly, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately took out a shimmering World-Breaking Teleportation Talisman from his storage ring.

This teleportation talisman was a life-saving trump card personally given to him by his Seventh Revered Master. It was incredibly precious, extremely difficult to refine, required countless Heaven And Earth Treasure, and there were only a few to be found in the entire world.

With this talisman on his person, whether Qin Xiuyuan was in a Blessed Land or any dangerous Secret Realm, as long as he activated it, he could be instantly teleported to the safety of the Kunlun realm.

Such a treasure was something Qin Xiuyuan would absolutely be reluctant to use unless he was in a desperate situation.

But now, it was a moment of life and death; no matter how reluctant he was, he had to use it!

Qin Xiuyuan's eyes turned fierce; he no longer cared about anything else and immediately crushed the teleportation talisman, activating the runes upon it.

The next second, an intensely dazzling golden light shot up from the teleportation talisman. Between heaven and earth, a massive golden pillar of light shot straight into the clouds, piercing the sky and earth with radiant brilliance, even dispersing some of the battle ripples in the Void Realm.

"Go!"

Qin Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately stepped into the pillar of light.

He knew very well that the power of this World-Breaking Teleportation Talisman was limited; at most, it could only sustain the teleportation of one person back to Kunlun.

It wasn't that Qin Xiuyuan hadn't thought of Sun Zhihe—once Sun Tianlu was defeated, if Sun Zhihe remained, she would inevitably be captured by Zhou Liangan. Given Zhou Liangan's personality, she would definitely suffer inhumane treatment and meet a miserable end.

But the moment he thought of his own life, Qin Xiuyuan instantly cast that insignificant guilt to the back of his mind.

This teleportation talisman could only send one person; how could he possibly bring Sun Zhihe along?

As for leaving this life-saving talisman for Sun Zhihe, that was pure fantasy. He wasn't a fool; how could he possibly trade his own life for a woman's safety?

A flash of naked coldness and selfishness crossed Qin Xiuyuan's eyes. The next second, he vanished within the towering golden pillar of light, completely escaping this place of trouble.

The moment the golden light shot up and Qin Xiuyuan fled, Zhou Liangan in the Void Realm sensed it instantly. He immediately burst into wild laughter, his laughter extremely arrogant and echoing across the wilderness, "Sun Tianlu! Look at this! This is the person your dear granddaughter risked the entire Sun Family to protect with all her might! I didn't expect him to have a World-Breaking Teleportation Talisman; he ran faster than anyone. He really is quite impressive!"

Watching the golden light vanish, Sun Tianlu's aged face was instantly filled with desolation and helplessness, his eyes full of despair. He let out a long sigh and said to Zhou Liangan in a hoarse voice, "Young Master Zhou, this old man admits that your strength far exceeds that of ordinary people; this old man is not your match. However, why must you push so relentlessly? I helped Qin Xiuyuan once, which can be considered settling a bit of Karma from years ago. In the future, I will definitely not interfere in any disputes between you and Qin Xiuyuan. Why must you force this old man into a dead end?"

Hearing this, the sneer on Zhou Liangan's lips grew more intense, and a look of deep disdain and coldness flashed in his eyes. His voice was as cold as ice, "When you helped him initially, it was merely because you thought my strength was weak and I could be easily manipulated, wanting to use me to curry favor. Now that you are begging me, it is merely because you have witnessed my true strength and know you cannot afford to provoke me, isn't that right?"

Zhou Liangan's voice was chillingly cold, each word piercing Sun Tianlu's heart like an ice pick.

Sun Tianlu opened his mouth, but in the end, it turned into a long sigh; he was speechless.

Just during the interval of their conversation, the giant Buddha hand and the eight stars locked in a stalemate in the Void Realm simultaneously emitted a crisp cracking sound. Both forces had reached their limit and were on the verge of collapsing at the same time.

Seeing this, a glimmer of hope instantly flashed in Sun Tianlu's eyes—if both sides were mutually injured, perhaps he still had a chance of survival!

But seeing this, Zhou Liangan just sneered and shook his head, his eyes full of mockery, as if looking at a clown, "Do you think that at this point, you still have a chance to live?"

Hearing this, Sun Tianlu's heart jumped violently, and a strong sense of unease instantly arose. He inwardly cursed, "Not good!"

But the next second, it was already too late.

It turned out that Zhou Liangan, taking advantage of the gap while they were talking, had silently deployed eight Heaven Rank Explosion Talismans around this Domain!

The Heaven Rank Explosion Talisman was a top-tier killing weapon in the world, with terrifying power; a single one could severely injure a Huagang Realm expert. If eight exploded simultaneously, let alone Sun Tianlu being only a half-step Ningshen, even if he were a true Ningshen Realm expert, he would absolutely be unable to withstand such terrifying power and would inevitably be blown to smithereens, his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!

A calm yet deadly smile curved on Zhou Liangan's lips. Looking at Sun Tianlu, he left behind a final sentence in a cold tone, "In your next life, keep your eyes open. Don't throw away your life for those selfish, unworthy people again!"

As his voice fell, Zhou Liangan immediately moved his mind and activated the Heaven Rank Xuanling Shield on his body.

The Heaven Rank Xuanling Shield was a top-tier defensive treasure, sufficient to steadily withstand the power of eight Heaven Rank Explosion Talismans exploding simultaneously; he didn't need to worry about being affected at all.

Watching the light of the Explosion Talismans quietly lighting up all around, Sun Tianlu's face instantly turned as pale as paper, his eyes filled with despair and fear. He wanted to resist, but he was already tightly trapped by the power of the Domain and the Explosion Talismans, unable to move.

Just at that moment when these eight Heaven Rank Explosion Talismans were about to explode with a roar, and Sun Tianlu was doomed to die!

Hum—

The Void Realm was suddenly torn open by an invisible force, and a pitch-black spatial rift appeared in mid-air. Subsequently, a slender, fair, and jade-like hand slowly reached out from the rift, pointing gently toward the ground from across the air.

In an instant, everything around seemed to have frozen!

The wild winds stopped, the energy storm froze, and even the Explosion Talismans that were about to explode were fixed in place. Time and space seemed to have completely solidified in this instant.

The slender hand made a gentle stroke, and a larger spatial rift immediately appeared in the Void Realm. The interior of the rift was pitch black and bottomless, as if connecting to an unknown space-time.

Following that, the eight Heaven Rank Explosion Talismans about to explode were casually flicked away by this hand, like throwing away trash, and were directly tossed into the spatial rift.

The next second, the spatial rift slowly closed. The eight Explosion Talismans exploded deep within the rift, but not a single sound was emitted, nor did they release a shred of energy, completely vanishing into nothingness.

The crisis was instantly resolved!

Zhou Liangan's pupils shrank, the hairs on his body stood on end, and he looked at the Void Realm with a vigilant expression.

A graceful figure appeared out of thin air in this space, without any warning, manifesting so abruptly as if she had always belonged here.

The person who arrived was a woman, wearing a magnificent and dignified Phoenix robe, her sleeves fluttering, possessing an extraordinary bearing. Her entire being exuded an air of graceful luxury, like a Phoenix Empress descending from the Nine Heavens, noble and inviolable.

Her figure was exquisite and graceful, with perfect curves. Especially the slit design at the hem of the Phoenix robe; with her movements, a pair of long, snow-white, and rounded beautiful legs were faintly visible between the Phoenix robe, extremely alluring, yet not vulgar at all, instead adding a touch of charm.

The moment this woman appeared, Zhou Liangan felt a terrifying Aura from her that made his heart palpitate. It was a bottomless power that caused the Spiritual Qi within Zhou Liangan's body to subconsciously stir, giving rise to intense wariness.

The woman smiled gently, her beautiful eyes sweeping over Zhou Liangan with a smile, her gaze flowing and radiant, with a hint of playfulness in her eyes. She spoke, "Little guy, the world says the Human Emperor governs the world with benevolence and wins the hearts of the people. Like you, being so vengeful and ruthless, how can you win the hearts of the people of the world and sit firmly on the throne?"

Hearing this, Zhou Liangan immediately restrained his inner wariness, sneering at the mysterious woman before him, his eyes flashing with a cold hue, his tone still extremely overbearing, "The Human Emperor governs the world with benevolence, but he is ultimately just a ruler guarding the status quo, holding onto the Foundation left by his ancestors. But I, I am the Founding Emperor, wanting to create a new era. I shall govern the world with hegemony, suppressing the entire world with absolute power!"

Hearing this, the woman fixed her beautiful eyes on Zhou Liangan, her expression gradually revealing a hint of complexity. Her gaze fell on Zhou Liangan, instantly seeing through his trump cards. She said softly, "soul-locking jade, and the Saint-Tier Mystic Spirit Shield... I didn't expect that at such a young age, you would possess these two rare treasures of the world. No wonder you are so confident and fearless."

That's right, the moment this mysterious woman appeared, Zhou Liangan had already exchanged for the experience card of the Saint-Tier Mystic Spirit Shield in the System, firmly protecting his body.

The soul-locking jade could stabilize the Divine Soul, and the Saint-Tier Mystic Spirit Shield could withstand all attacks. With these two treasures on his person, Zhou Liangan already possessed an Innate advantage of invincibility; even if the opponent's strength were greater, it would be difficult to easily harm him.

The stunning beauty before him, her Phoenix eyes still fixed on Zhou Liangan, suddenly smiled sweetly. That smile, amidst its graceful luxury, revealed a touch of soul-stirring charm, truly intoxicating and making one's heart flutter.

She spoke unhurriedly, "Little guy, please move your steps and come with me. If you are fated with me, I, can gift you a supreme treasure."

Hearing this, Zhou Liangan's gaze casually swept over the hot-bodied, stunningly beautiful woman in palace attire before him. Although he was vigilant, he also felt a bit of curiosity. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh? I wonder what kind of treasure it is that you value so highly?"

The beauty in palace attire smiled even more charmingly, her Phoenix eyes coquettish. Looking at Zhou Liangan, she softly uttered a sentence that made one's heart tremble, "Don't I count as a supreme treasure?"
