Chen Jiuyang had prepared a peak move for each of the blade, sword, bow, and spear he had given Yao Zixuan.
However, in the span of a single moment, Chen Jiuyang, from thousands of miles away, suddenly felt all four moves activate simultaneously!
Chen Jiuyang's brow immediately furrowed, "Zixuan, what has happened?"
The blade, sword, and spear were sufficient to deal with enemies at the Hedao stage and Martial Saint level.
But all four moves activating at once made Chen Jiuyang feel something was peculiar.
"Could it be that she encountered a prodigy from a major power, forcing their protector to intervene?"
Without further thought, Chen Jiuyang locked onto the aura and instantly transformed into a streak of light, flying towards where Yao Zixuan was in trouble.
...
Thousands of miles away.
Sansheng Fen Island.
Chen Jiuyang had been to this place before. It was suitable for geniuses of the Nascent Soul stage to train and seek opportunities.
It was also a place where supreme beings left behind contingencies to find their successors.
In his previous life, Chen Jiuyang had visited this place and was driven away by the island master. Later, he returned to this place within the Nine Nether Myriad Tombs due to the 'Wu' law of 'Zhuang Wu.'
At this moment, the island was shrouded in dense Yin energy, the entire island enveloped by a black, deathly aura.
Outside the island, a fierce battle was taking place.
Prodigies from the Forbidden Land Families had clashed with those from the Immortal Alliance.
As fate would have it, Yao Zixuan and her companions had obtained the opportunities on Sansheng Fen Island, only to be cornered by people from the Forbidden Land Families.
"Hand over the method for obtaining the opportunity, and we will spare your lives," a Nascent Soul stage prodigy with a powerful aura declared.
This was a complete method for cultivating 'laws,' an opportunity that only top prodigies of the Immortal Alliance could receive. For ordinary geniuses like them, they could only obtain such things by seeking opportunities outside.
The leader of the Immortal Alliance was a Void Refining stage elder, whose cultivation and strength were not low. He said sternly, "Forbidden Land Families, do not be so arrogant."
"Treasures are obtained by those who are destined for them."
"Stubborn!" the Nascent Soul stage prodigy exclaimed, "Grandfather, please take action."
As the words fell, a Martial Saint directly tore through space and emerged. He reached out with a massive hand, obscuring the sky and earth, as if intending to crush everyone present with a single palm.
"Martial Saint!!! This is bad!!" The Void Refining stage elder's face turned extremely grim.
The might of a Martial Saint was incomparable to that of a Tribulation Crossing stage peerless expert.
In an instant, the attack struck Yao Zixuan and the others, causing their delicate bodies to tremble violently, on the verge of bursting and spitting blood!
However, at this moment.
The bow, spear, blade, and sword that Chen Jiuyang had left for Yao Zixuan erupted simultaneously!
The sky was torn asunder, like a blade of heavenly will descending, an extremely sharp sword intent, and the roar of a spear like a dragon instantly exploded!
Then, the bow and arrow erupted, transforming into an arrow formation that protected Yao Zixuan and the others within.
"RUMBLE!!!"
Earth-shattering explosions immediately resounded.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, a mixture of shock and joy.
In this desperate realm, there were still fellow prodigies who possessed such life-saving means.
Turning their heads, they saw it was Yao Zixuan!
Wasn't this woman a genius from the Feathered Ascension Sect in Fengcheng? The power of such life-saving means likely surpassed the scope of Hedao stage cultivators.
Did someone among them hide such an identity?
The Martial Saint from the Forbidden Land Families also couldn't help but change his expression, "This kind of weapon intent..."
Then, he sneered, "I didn't expect to catch a big fish!"
Ordinary cultivators would never qualify for such protective means.
He then narrowed his eyes, "Four life-saving means from the bow, spear, blade, and sword. It seems they truly cherish this person."
"In that case, we must kill these people even more, since we've already offended them!"
"Divine Ability—Three Yin Slaughtering Blade!"
A brilliant divine ability blade intent instantly erupted, dark blade energy spreading out, seemingly about to shatter space, its power unparalleled!
This blade strike landed directly on the arrow formation protecting them.
"CRACK!!! RUMBLE!!"
The violent impact caused cracks to appear in the arrow formation.
The Void Refining stage elder's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Yao Zixuan, "Do you have any more protective life-saving means? Otherwise, we will all die here!!"
"No more..." Yao Zixuan's small face was also ashen, "There were only four in total, and in my panic, they were all triggered!"
The other prodigies despaired, "Are we all going to die here..."
Yao Zixuan didn't know that the protective means Chen Jiuyang left her were so powerful that they could contend against a Martial Saint.
Thus, they were all triggered at once. Otherwise, she would have triggered them one by one.
"CRACK—"
After a violent tremor, the arrow formation was broken.
"Oh? It's just a little girl at the Nascent Soul stage, nothing special. Then let's cut them down and eradicate them." The Martial Saint's expression was indifferent. He urged his divine ability again and directly attacked Yao Zixuan and the others.
At this moment—
A detached voice drifted from the distant sky to the scene, "Heavenly Will Four Symbols Arrow—Myriad Forms Heavenly Will!"
A beam of light like a meteor shot out with speed that stunned everyone. It was imbued with an indescribable martial dao will and the laws of archery.
The heavens and earth changed color.
"RUMBLE!!!"
This arrow strike blocked the Martial Saint's divine ability attack, causing his expression to change slightly, "They arrived so quickly!"
"However, there is something strange. This kind of weapon intent has no true qi, but rather resembles immortal dao spiritual energy..."
"Then let's wait and see who this divine being is."
"This arrow..." The hearts of those from the Immortal Alliance were almost in their throats. The situation had taken another turn, and they had miraculously survived again.
"Could it be him?" Yao Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief, unable to believe it.
The life-saving means Chen Jiuyang left her had already shocked her.
But Chen Jiuyang was only at the Nascent Soul stage...
For a moment, Yao Zixuan realized that Chen Jiuyang had many secrets he was keeping from her.
Two to three breaths later, Chen Jiuyang, transformed into a streak of azure light, descended upon the scene.
"This aura... it's a Hedao stage mighty figure!"
The leading Void Refining stage elder of the Immortal Alliance breathed a sigh of relief, "At least we've saved our lives. A Hedao stage mighty figure should be able to contend with a Martial Saint, giving us a chance to escape."
Chen Jiuyang held his blade and looked at the Martial Saint from the Forbidden Land Families opposite him, "So it's a Martial Saint from the Forbidden Land Families. I thought it was some formidable existence, capable of triggering the contingency I left behind."
With that, Chen Jiuyang relaxed and glanced at Yao Zixuan, who was unharmed.
"It really is him! He's still at the Hedao stage!!!" Yao Zixuan felt her brain was about to shut down.
Chen Jiuyang's cultivation was at the Hedao stage, which was the same as her master, True Monarch Yuhua!
"A Hedao stage cultivator from the Immortal Alliance?" The Martial Saint looked at Chen Jiuyang with ill intent, "I thought you were a Tribulation Crossing or even a Mahayana old monster."
"If you're only at the Hedao stage, then leave your life here."
A hint of confusion appeared in Chen Jiuyang's eyes, "What are you talking about?"
Then, he raised his long saber. The blade intent that shattered space appeared, causing everyone to turn pale with shock.
