Chapter 1861: Chapter 1861

But just when the azure sword rainbow continued forward, a beam of white ice light had already pierced through.

After a brief stalemate between the sword rainbow and the ice light, the sword rainbow ultimately fell short and was immediately frozen along with the flying sword’s true form.

However, Xuanzhen True Person merely pinched his sword technique with both hands, and the flying sword swiftly burst forth with a surge of azure sword light that shattered the ice, swiftly returning to his side like a homing swallow.

Just at this moment, he suddenly sensed something, and with a slight change in his expression, he let out a low shout, and a splendid golden light instantly flew out from his body.

Immediately, a grand dragon-shaped lightning struck from the sky, breaking through the remaining seven layers of azure glow in succession, ultimately colliding with the golden light that Xuanzhen True Person emitted from his body.

After the silver lightning and the golden light briefly intermingled, the golden light ultimately overwhelmed, forcibly defeating the powerful dragon-shaped lightning.

Under the strike of the dragon-shaped lightning, the true form of that golden light also emerged, and it turned out to be a golden treasure ruler.

Spiritual Treasure [Profound Heaven Golden Ruler], the heritage spiritual treasure of True Profound Sect!

Zhou Chun quickly recalled information about this treasure in his mind, and his expression became more solemn than ever.

He had seen several spiritual treasures before, but this [Profound Heaven Golden Ruler] seemed to be on par with the [Taichi Wind and Fire Fan] held by Zhou Zhiying, and in terms of offensive power alone, it surpassed his [Moon Toad Pearl] and [Sunflame Treasure].

Moreover, in the hands of Xuanzhen True Person, a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, the power of this treasure would be even more terrifying.

Let alone Zhou Chun had already returned the [Taichi Wind and Fire Fan] to his disciple Zhou Zhiying, even if he still had this treasure, he couldn’t count on it to help him withstand the [Profound Heaven Golden Ruler]!

"Taoist Friend Xuanzhen, do you truly wish to settle this grudge with Zhou Mou once and for all?"

Zhou Chun gazed at Xuanzhen True Person, who had even summoned the heritage spiritual treasure of his sect, and spoke with a deep and powerful tone.

He was not able to defeat Xuanzhen True Person, but that didn’t mean Xuanzhen True Person could kill him.

In fact, backed by a Mountain Protection Array of the caliber of the [Heavenly Yi Green Dragon Formation], even a Nascent Soul Late Stage great cultivator like Xuanzhen True Person couldn’t break through this array in an instant.

And he had every opportunity to flee on his own while the opponent was attacking the mountain protection array.

This was the basis of his confidence to engage in a major battle with Xuanzhen True Person here!

Xuanzhen True Person understood this point as well.

So upon hearing these words, his expression also became solemn, and he couldn’t help but gaze at him and say, "The strength of Taoist Friend Zhou is indeed not unfounded, given time, you might truly possess the battle prowess of a great cultivator!"

Having battle prowess of a great cultivator does not necessarily mean becoming a great cultivator.

In the cultivation world, there are some Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators who possess powerful spiritual treasures or have mastered some legendary great divine skills, and they can still compete with Nascent Soul Late Stage great cultivators.

Although such cultivators are rarely seen, they have always appeared from time to time.

Their status in the Nascent Soul stage cultivator circle is equivalent to that of great cultivators and is revered by ordinary Nascent Soul Early stage cultivators.

For Zhou Chun, who was only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivation level, Xuanzhen True Person gave such an evaluation, which indicates he held Zhou in high regard.

It also shows Xuanzhen True Person’s apprehension towards him.

Thus, after making this remark, Xuanzhen True Person quickly looked at him again and said, "How about this, Taoist Friend Zhou, you return the heritage spiritual treasure of Taoist Friend Ziyang’s sect, and I will serve as a negotiator to resolve the grudges between your two families and invite Taoist Friend Zhou to become an alliance elder!"

Zhou Chun was immediately taken aback and laughed silently: "Taoist Friend Xuanzhen is joking. Not to mention the preciousness of spiritual treasures, with Old Thief Ziyang’s narrow-minded character, Zhou Mou destroyed his physical body, he probably won’t forget it even in death!"

Then he firmly stated, "As for joining the alliance, Zhou Mou indeed always intended to, but that does not mean Zhou Mou is willing to be humiliated!"

At this point in his speech, his stance was also very clear.

Upon seeing this, Xuanzhen True Person showed a look of regret and said, "If Taoist Friend Zhou insists on being this way, then for the sake of giving an explanation to various countries and sects in the alliance, I can only ask Taoist Friend Zhou to continue to face the challenge!"

"Alright, then let Zhou Mou see your true strength, Taoist Friend Xuanzhen!"

With a flash of cold light in his eyes, Zhou Chun knew that ultimately, there was no choice but to fight. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N0veI.Fiɾe.net

He no longer hesitated and immediately summoned the Burden Turtle Stone, then directly executed the Beast Spirit Fusion Technique to complete the fusion.

Given Zhou Chun’s current cultivation level, apart from the King of Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai, only the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone and Flame Prison Phoenix could barely withstand the load pressure formed by fusing with him.

However, the Flame Prison Phoenix was incompatible with his attributes, and the fusion would not significantly enhance his combat power.

The King of Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai was impossible to fuse due to the Power of True Dragon.

On the other hand, the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone not only perfectly matched his attributes but also possessed extremely strong survivability, undoubtedly the best choice when facing a Nascent Soul Late Stage great cultivator!

As master and servant successfully fused, the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer, initially only at the fourth order high grade cultivation level, immediately exploded with the aura of a fifth order level.

This scene caught Xuanzhen True Person by surprise, and then he urged mana to the [Profound Heaven Golden Ruler] in the sky, and this treasure immediately burst forth with dazzling golden light, forming a golden river-like shadow in the void.
