300,000 jin of tremendous strength.
Such immense power could crush an ordinary person into mush.
Yet Xu Nian confronted it barehanded, causing an enormous shock to the Nine-star Body General.
Lin Zhen retreated several steps in succession, the hand that was gripping the giant sword going numb with a severe tingling sensation.
Yet Xu Nian's figure did not move an inch, completely unharmed.
"Are you human or a Demon Beast?"
At this very moment, Lin Zhen truly suspected that the youth before him was a Demon Beast who had entered the Saint Realm and transformed into a human.
Otherwise, how could he possibly confront his giant sword barehanded?
"Of course I'm human. Do you really think only Demon Beasts can possess such a powerful body?" Xu Nian let out a cold laugh.
He then stepped forward, and the peak cultivation of a Seven-star Body General burst forth in an instant.
"Seven... Seven-star Body General?" Lin Zhen was stunned.
This was completely different from what he had expected.
In his view, this youth who could confront his giant sword had to be at least a Marquis Level Body King.
However, he now found out that the youth was merely a Seven-star Body General.
Lower than his own cultivation level?
How could that be possible?
Lin Zhen felt as if his worldview had been turned upside down.
Seeing the shock on Lin Zhen's face, Xu Nian knew what he was thinking.
"Realm does not represent everything, strength is the fundamental," Xu Nian said proudly.
Divine Demon Refining Body far surpassed the cellular development of an ordinary body cultivation power.
Therefore, as a Seven-star War General, he had already exceeded the strength of a peak Body General in both physical toughness and the reserve of Divine Demon Gang Qi.
"Hmph, even if your cultivation is somewhat special, I don't believe you can kill me. As a core disciple of the Tianjian Sect, I'm not unworthy of my reputation," Lin Zhen snorted coldly.
Regaining his composure, he looked at Xu Nian with eyes filled with fighting spirit.
A powerful Sword Force emanated from him, and in an instant, his entire aura became extremely profound.
"Sword Force?" A look of surprise appeared on Xu Nian's face.
This Tianjian Sect is not lacking in their understanding of the Sword Dao!
By comparison, not a single one of the elite disciples of the Artifact Refining Sect has grasped the Force.
Naturally, the disciples of the Artifact Refining Sect prioritized Artifact Refining.
In the realm of comprehension, they were naturally far inferior to the disciples of the Tianjian Sect.
"Hmph, I don't believe you can withstand my sword attack, Sky Piercing Sword!"
With a loud shout, Lin Zhen leaped up and cleaved down with his sword mid-air.
In an instant, the giant sword shone brightly and seemed to swell threefold.
This single strike could split mountains and sever rivers!
"Interesting, you've managed to bring the Chongyue Sword Formation to such a level, quite impressive indeed," said Xu Nian with a slight smile.
Although Lin Zhen was only at the First Level of Sword Force Realm, his integration of the Sword Force was quite good.
The power of this move was truly terrifying.
"But that's all it is, just impressive!" A hint of a light smirk crossed Xu Nian's eyes.
Divine Demon Gang Qi was released instantly, and the Chongyue Mountain Formation erupted in a flash.
Then, Xu Nian's entire being became like a majestic mountain.
The Meteorite Iron Hammer appeared in his hand.
"Three-Forging Hammer, Collapse Thunder!"
Xu Nian roared, and the hammer in his hand thundered out.
A loud boom rang out.
Lin Zhen's giant sword shattered instantly.
The terrifying hammer did not stop and struck directly onto his chest.
Lin Zhen's eyes bulged as his body flew backward at high speed.
He crashed for hundreds of meters before coming to a halt, dragging a long mark on the ground.
"No... impossible, you're actually... in the Transformation Force Realm."
Lin Zhen lifted his head and struggled to utter these words.
He struggled to stand, but was powerless to do so.
Until this moment, Lin Zhen finally realized exactly what kind of ruthless character they had provoked.
In the Tianjian Sect, among the core disciples, there was only one person in the Transformation Force Realm.
And that person was their Tianjian Sect's number one genius, already twenty-eight years old.
"Sect Master, what happened?"
Just then, Chen Wudi and the others heard the commotion and walked out of the Star Tower.
Bai Feng glanced at Lin Zhen lying on the ground and instantly recognized him as a disciple of the Tianjian Sect.
Lin Zhen also recognized Bai Feng.
After all, Bai Feng was once the most dazzling disciple of the Artifact Refining Sect.
"Sect… Sect Master? How is this possible?" Lin Zhen stared, his eyes wide with disbelief.
The shock in his heart was far greater than the shock from Xu Nian unleashing an attack at the Transformation Force Realm.
"Do you know him?" Xu Nian asked Bai Feng upon seeing the surprise on his face.
"I've met him once, but we're not really acquainted," Bai Feng answered.
Xu Nian nodded slightly, speaking indifferently, "Then finish him off!"
"Yes, Sect Master!" Bai Feng replied, then walked towards Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen watched Bai Feng approach and after being stupefied for a long while, finally asked, "Is he really the Artifact Refining Sect Master?"
"Yes!" Bai Feng answered coldly.
Lin Zhen, upon hearing Xu Nian's response, was astonished.
The Sect Master of the Artifact Refining Sect, the leader of the Three Great Sects, was this young man before him?
What was happening to this world?
However, before Lin Zhen could come to his senses, Bai Feng's palm struck his chest.
His heart was shattered!
Lin Zhen's pupils constricted, and he lost consciousness, completely passing out.
"We should continue on our way!" Xu Nian said to everyone.
He then led the group on foot towards the direction of Dong'an City.
By now, they were not far from Dong'an City, and walking there would be more inconspicuous.
As for the bodies of Lin Zhen and the others, Xu Nian didn't even think about destroying them.
If the Tianjian Sect were to eventually trace it back to him, they likely wouldn't have much to say.
Xu Nian and his group traveled on foot and soon arrived at the gates of Dong'an City.
Dong'an City was originally just a small city on the border.
But now it was bustling with people, overcrowded with a constant stream of visitors.
When Xu Nian and his group arrived at the city gates, they saw many people rushing towards Dong'an City.
Among these people, most were cultivators.
Most of them were loose cultivators, probably attracted by the news to fish in troubled waters.
Of course, there were also some individuals from various forces.
These people were not showy either.
Because they all knew that in this small city,
It was very possible that the person you passed by could be a Marquis-level powerhouse,
or even a Saint-level master.
So without a solid backing and strength,
being arrogant here was undoubtedly seeking death.
Xu Nian and his companions also slowly walked into the city.
"Let's find a place to stay first!" Xu Nian suggested.
Although the Great Elder of the Artifact Refining Sect and the others had already arrived in Dong'an City,
Xu Nian did not plan to meet up with the Great Elder and his group just yet.
As the leader of the Three Great Sects, the Artifact Refining Sect's every move was being watched by all the major powers.
If Xu Nian stood out at this time, it would be equivalent to exposing himself to all the major powers.
"Let's stay at this inn!" Xu Nian suggested, pointing to an inn by the roadside.
They had been hiding and rushing about, not having had a good meal for a while,
and it was a good opportunity to rest properly.
But when Xu Nian and his company entered the inn, they encountered two unexpected acquaintances.
