Lu Changsheng, the foremost Divine Treasure, might not be able to withstand this either.
"Should we retreat now?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head.
His expression was calm.
It seemed as if he wasn’t daunted by the presence of hundreds of Qi Refining Immortal Masters.
"Brother Zhang, since we’re already here, how can we not contend for it?"
"Besides, leaving now—don’t you think it would be a waste?"
"After all, the Spirit Communication Flowers have already matured..."
As Lu Changsheng’s words fell.
Zhang Kong abruptly lifted his head and gazed at the Spirit Communication Flowers within the valley.
Those Spirit Communication Flowers, which had been mere buds on the verge of blooming,
were now slowly starting to unfurl.
This signified that the Spirit Communication Flowers had ripened!
At this moment, within the valley below,
the Qi Refining Immortal Masters who were meditating with their eyes shut snapped them open in unison.
"The Spirit Communication Flowers have ripened; harvest them immediately!"
"Whoever takes a single step closer will be executed without mercy!"
"I have already set up the Absolute Spirit Array. Let’s see who dares to fight me for the Spirit Communication Flowers!"
"Xuan Zhen, you dare use a Magical Treasure Talisman to disrupt my Great Array?"
In an instant, countless Immortal Masters, their prior composure discarded,
revealed their murderous intent with savage expressions on their faces.
Battles between Immortal Masters and battles between martial artists were worlds apart.
Great Arrays, Magic Artifacts, Talismans, Spells, and Magical Treasures swirled wildly in the void, unleashing terrifying power.
Even the faintest graze could reduce one to ashes.
Especially the Magical Treasures—
these were one-time-use items.
Their power was earth-shattering, vastly surpassing that of Magic Artifacts.
They were the equivalent of single-use Magical Treasures.
And Magical Treasures stood far above Magic Artifacts.
Generally, it was only Foundation Establishment Daoist Monarchs who could refine and wield Magical Treasures. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
Thus, one-time-use talismans equivalent to Magical Treasures could, to some extent, rival the abilities of a Daoist Monarch.
Of course, they merely rivaled certain techniques of a Daoist Monarch.
Against an actual Daoist Monarch, they were no match at all.
Witnessing this scene, Zhang Kong’s face turned pale.
Despite his vast experience and countless battles fought,
having risen through bloodshed,
the horrifying means exhibited by the Immortal Masters left Zhang Kong trembling with fear.
"Junior Brother Lu, maybe we should give up..."
Zhang Kong’s voice quivered slightly.
However, Lu Changsheng remained unmoved.
He even smiled faintly and said, "Brother Zhang, it’s time for us to make our move."
"Remember, not a single Spirit Communication Flower is to be left behind—harvest them all!"
"As for those Qi Refining Immortal Masters, leave them to me—Lu Changsheng will suppress them all!"
As he finished speaking, Lu Changsheng stepped forward directly.
At the same time, his figure flickered and instantly appeared within the valley.
Moreover, with each step he took, a Domain manifested around him.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Lu Changsheng’s Domain descended in an instant.
"A Divine Treasure! A Divine Treasure dared come to Juling Mountain to vie for the Spirit Communication Flowers?"
"Truly audacious! A mere martial artist, daring to set foot on Juling Mountain?"
"Since when could a trivial Divine Treasure muster such insolence, coming to Juling Mountain to snatch Spirit Communication Flowers?"
"Over the years, these martial artists have grown increasingly arrogant. A mere Divine Treasure dares act presumptuously? Even the top ten on the Dao Foundation Candidate List are nothing but paper tigers, easily slain by the Flying Swords of us Immortal Masters."
"Hmph, let my Flying Sword pierce his Domain and shred him to pieces!"
One by one, the Immortal Masters, upon sensing Lu Changsheng’s Domain, erupted into fury.
An overwhelming tide of rage surged forth.
They didn’t recognize Lu Changsheng.
Nor did they care about him.
The only thing that mattered was this: Lu Changsheng was a martial artist.
What business did a Divine Treasure-tier martial artist have meddling in their fight for the Spirit Communication Flowers?
It was nothing short of courting death!
Juling Mountain was no place for just anyone to intrude!
Even martial artists from the Dao Foundation Candidate List, should they dare to come to Juling Mountain to compete for the Spirit Communication Flowers, were doomed to die!
