Chapter 3618: Methods Exhausted

"Sound-based attacks are not very effective against him; he possesses a treasure that counters sound-based assaults," Fairy Jinpa recalled something and added.

Fairy Furong had a remnant Xuantian treasure, and even as the top rogue cultivator in the Xuanyang Realm, she couldn't escape death after being trapped by True Monarch Tianyan's spiritual domain. This showed just how powerful True Monarch Tianyan was.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan agreed and launched an attack on True Monarch Tianyan.

Wang Changsheng stepped forward, threw a punch, and countless blue seawater surged out, rushing towards True Monarch Tianyan.

Wang Ruyan lightly tapped her finger, and the Purple Toad Seal shot directly towards True Monarch Tianyan.

"Fellow Daoist Tong, you deal with these two and hold them off for a while. Lady Jin and I will kill Ye Xuanji and Fairy Jinpa," True Monarch Tianyan secretly transmitted to Tong Shan.

Tong Shan's strength was considerable, and holding off Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan for a while was not a problem. Tong Shan nodded, performed a hand seal, and the spiritual light of the green guillotine flared, transforming into a green long rainbow that shot towards Wang Changsheng. At the same time, a vast amount of crimson flames erupted in the void, rapidly coalescing into a rushing crimson river, carrying astonishing heat waves as it surged forward.

The crimson river collided with the blue river. The blue river couldn't withstand it at all and instantly dispersed. Tong Shan had also opened an aperture, making him difficult to deal with.

The crimson river rushed straight towards Wang Changsheng, but a towering giant palm covered in profound musical notes met it, colliding with the crimson river.

With a thunderous roar, the crimson river exploded, scattering flames everywhere.

The green guillotine shot over. Wang Changsheng lightly flicked his wrist, and the Dragon Subduing Axe flew out, blocking the green guillotine.

A sky full of black light descended from above, heading straight for Wang Changsheng. These were soul attacks, which Wang Changsheng dared not confront directly.

Wang Changsheng's figure blurred, dissipating into wisps of water vapor and vanishing, causing the black light's attack to miss.

Wang Ruyan's fingers swept across the strings of the Demon Suppressing Zither. The melodious zither music entered Tong Shan's ears. The sound seemed distant, yet upon closer listening, it felt as if it were right beside him.

Tong Shan frowned. He was not True Monarch Tianyan; he had to find a way to deal with Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

A purple light flashed, and the Purple Scorpion Gourd appeared. After spinning rapidly, its size dramatically increased, and it spewed out a stream of purple ethereal light, enveloping Tong Shan.

The Purple Scorpion Gourd had already killed two Mahayana cultivators, so this treasure was quite powerful. A large expanse of crimson flames surged from Tong Shan's right hand. He slapped it above his head while simultaneously retreating.

The crimson flames collided with the purple ethereal light, shattering the latter into pieces.

Tong Shan changed his hand seal, and the Soul Annihilation Plate emitted a dazzling black light, vanishing from its original position.

The next moment, a black light lit up above Wang Ruyan's head, and the Soul Annihilation Plate appeared.

The runes on the Soul Annihilation Plate glowed brightly, emitting countless thin black lights that enveloped Wang Ruyan.

A ripple appeared in the void above Wang Ruyan's head, and a black hole several zhang wide emerged. The black lights disappeared into the black hole.

"Spatial divine ability!" Tong Shan's expression tightened. He was not unfamiliar with this divine ability.

The zither music became more fervent. A blue sound wave swept out, instantly reaching Tong Shan, while countless blue seawater surged forth, rushing forward with immense momentum.

Tong Shan conjured a golden shield in front of him, while simultaneously performing a hand seal. Flames around his body surged, and a crimson river materialized out of thin air, rising to meet the attack.

His magic power was even deeper than Wang Changsheng's, and he did not fear Wang Changsheng.

The blue sound wave swept past the golden shield, heading straight for Tong Shan. The flames around Tong Shan rolled, transforming into a crimson giant hand that met the attack.

After a thunderous roar, the blue sound wave dispersed, and white mist filled the air.

A ball of blue light ignited behind Tong Shan, transforming into a snow-blue fire phoenix. The fire phoenix gently flapped its wings, and its massive body slammed into Tong Shan's protective spiritual light. The spiritual light rapidly froze and dimmed.

A thick white long staff descended from the sky, like majestic white mountains, smashing towards Tong Shan.

Tong Shan tried to dodge, but his body tensed as two thick blue chains materialized out of thin air; these were the Chains of Divine Sense.

A dazzling golden light shone from Tong Shan's glabella, and a brilliant golden long blade shot out, striking the blue chains and shattering them.

He had been in the Mahayana stage for many years, and his divine sense was relatively powerful. The Chains of Divine Sense couldn't entangle him so easily, as he was a late-Mahayana cultivator after all.

Just as he broke free from the Chains of Divine Sense, his protective spiritual light shattered, and multiple staff shadows slammed into him. His head exploded, scattering red and white matter everywhere. A dazzling spiritual light flared, and his body transformed into a glowing six-sided spiritual plate, as his golden domain shattered.

A golden light shone in the void a thousand miles away, and Tong Shan reappeared.

"An eighth-tier spiritual flame!" Tong Shan exclaimed, his face filled with terror.

As soon as he reappeared, the snow-blue fire phoenix gently flapped its wings and vanished from its spot. Tong Shan seemed to realize something and was about to dodge, but a powerful spatial force materialized out of thin air, binding him to the ground.

He tried to recall his Xuantian treasure, but it was entangled and couldn't return immediately.

A ball of snow-blue fire light ignited behind him, and the snow-blue fire phoenix appeared, crashing into Tong Shan.

Tong Shan hurriedly conjured a glowing golden small cauldron, which spewed out a stream of golden ethereal light that enveloped the blue fire phoenix, drawing it into the golden cauldron where it disappeared.

Almost simultaneously, the Purple Scorpion Gourd appeared again, spraying another stream of purple ethereal light towards Tong Shan.

This time, just as Tong Shan was about to dodge, a raucous cry rang out, making his head feel dizzy.

By the time he recovered, he was already enveloped by the purple ethereal light and drawn into the Purple Scorpion Gourd.

Wang Ruyan continuously performed hand seals, urging the Purple Scorpion Gourd to kill Tong Shan.

A tragic female shriek rang out. Jin Lan flew backward, her body turning into a sky full of bloody mist. A miniature nascent soul had barely left her body when it was enveloped by a black ethereal light and vanished into Ye Yuan's mouth.

Ye Xuanji and Fairy Jinpa had teamed up against True Monarch Tianyan and Jin Lan. Jin Lan couldn't withstand the sonic attacks, fell into an illusion, and then attacked True Monarch Tianyan, who promptly killed her.

The battle situation rapidly deteriorated; True Monarch Tianyan and his allies were now at a disadvantage.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Ye Xuanji, and Fairy Jinpa were all "Aperture Openers," while on True Monarch Tianyan's side, only True Monarch Tianyan himself was an "Aperture Opener." The power gap was too immense.

A vast amount of seawater surged forth with immense momentum.

True Monarch Tianyan frowned deeply, shook his sleeve, and a large expanse of crimson flames swept out, easily crushing the incoming blue seawater and generating large amounts of white mist.

Ye Xuanji performed a hand seal, and the Purple Fist Treasure Pearl spewed out countless purple poisonous mists, forming a thick-bodied purple venomous flood dragon that pounced towards the opponent.

True Monarch Tianyan performed a hand seal, and centered around him, a vast amount of crimson flames surged within a radius of 500,000 miles, forming a sea of crimson fire. Thick-bodied crimson fire dragons flew out from it, rising to meet the attack.

With a thunderous roar, an earth-shattering explosion echoed. Various spiritual lights—crimson, golden, blue, green, and more—intertwined in the high sky, creating a dazzling spectacle.
