On the other side, the Undefeated Heavenly King's knights, all mid-stage Golden Core experts, were fighting against more than forty early-stage Golden Core experts and some Houtian members from District Thirteen. The battle was proceeding exceptionally smoothly.
"Kunlun Slash!" Bai Zhannian unleashed a sword strike. The Left Temple, however, was not faring as well. They took the full force of Bai Zhannian's Kunlun Slash, exacerbating their already poor condition.
"All members of District Thirteen, inject the advanced potential stimulant!" With a command from the Left Temple, members of District Thirteen produced syringes and began injecting themselves.
After the injection, the members of District Thirteen consecutively ascended two major realms.
A similar situation occurred with Chris's side; an order was given to consume elixirs.
The Undefeated Heavenly King's knights, including Chris himself, took out the elixirs obtained from the second floor of the Tongtian Pavilion.
"Defense, offense, speed, potential. Consume them all." The aura of the Undefeated Heavenly King's knights surged.
Mid-stage Golden Core experts directly leaped to the peak of the Golden Core stage, while Chris himself stepped into the realm of pseudo-Demigod.
"What???" The people of District Thirteen, witnessing Chris's aura explode like a rampaging dragon, began to feel timid.
Naturally, the Left Temple also noticed.
"Pseudo? Pseudo-Demigod realm? Why do you also possess this?" The Left Temple, unable to withstand Bai Zhannian's relentless assault, also took out the prepared District Thirteen super potential stimulant from their backpack.
After the injection, the Left Temple remained motionless.
"Bai Zhannian, go deal with these guys who consumed elixirs. I'll handle this!" Exchanging battlefields with Bai Zhannian, Chris confidently charged towards the Left Temple.
"I will kill you!" Chris swung his saber towards the Left Temple's head.
"Bang."
As the advanced spirit sword struck the Left Temple's forehead, the immense pressure generated a sonic boom.
When the smoke cleared, the Left Temple, who should have been certain to die, was still sitting there. The advanced spirit sword hadn't even caused a scratch.
"What's going on?" Chris sensed trouble. He prepared to retreat.
The Left Temple moved.
With a flash, he appeared directly in front of Chris.
The Left Temple raised his head, his eyes filled with the blood-red hue of the fused elixir. With another flash, he appeared beside Chris's ear and whispered.
"Heard you wanted me dead?" The Left Temple sneered rebelliously.
In an instant, he grabbed Chris by the neck.
"A mere mid-stage Nascent Soul, how can you defeat me?"
Hearing this, Chris was stunned.
Bai Zhanyun, far away, was also stunned.
Chen Fan, who was still merging with the divine artifact, was shocked but helpless. He suspected that only he could contend with the Left Temple in the entire field.
"Faster, faster, faster." This was Chen Fan's thought at that moment.
What kind of potential stimulant had District Thirteen developed that could allow a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to directly ascend to the peak Demigod realm? Although it wasn't permanent, such a gap in power was enough to turn the tide of the entire battle.
"Bai Zhannian! Run!" Chris knew he was in a hopeless situation.
"Crack."
Chris's neck snapped.
"Run? Where can you run to?" The Left Temple, now almost monstrous, went into a berserk mode. In an instant, he annihilated all the peak Golden Core warriors of the Undefeated Heavenly King's Knights. After the knights were wiped out, he charged directly towards Bai Zhannian.
"I was indeed inferior to you before, but facing this complete suppression in level now, how can you contend with me?"
Seeing the Left Temple approaching.
Bai Zhannian also took out elixirs from his backpack and swallowed them haphazardly.
"Ah!" Bai Zhannian screamed.
A powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire battlefield. The surge in Bai Zhannian's realm forced the Left Temple back, preventing him from closing the distance.
"Another peak Demigod." Bai Zhannian's eyes also turned red, and his Kunlun Sword resonated.
"Kunlun Heaven Sealing Slash."
The Kunlun Heaven Sealing Slash was the sect-protecting martial art of the Kunlun Secret Realm, possessing extreme destructive power. The lowest energy consumption was at the mid-stage Demigod level.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, the Left Temple shouted, "Form the array!"
"Zhannian, you must hold on, you absolutely cannot die!!!" Chen Fan was only a moment away from completely fusing with the divine artifact.
Below.
Bai Zhanyun's sword energy had been condensing, freezing time and causing even the surrounding heavy water to cease flowing.
In contrast,
The Left Temple's energy sphere continued to expand, draining the true qi of all survivors, even his own. The formation of the massive energy sphere caused the surrounding space to tremble.
"Release." With Bai Zhannian's shout, the sword energy of the Kunlun Heaven Sealing Slash was unleashed, its power so great that the surrounding space tore apart.
"Go." As Bai Zhannian shouted, the Left Temple simultaneously shot out the energy sphere from his hand, forming an independent energy sphere field.
The white sword energy and the yellow energy sphere collided.
"Boom."
A deafening roar echoed through the heavens. Even Bai Lin on the ground heard the explosion from the collision. The massive cave previously excavated by District Thirteen was instantly buried by the blast. Bai Lin quickly checked the instrument readings.
The top-tier instrument, which could display early-stage Divine level destructive power, displayed garbled data.
"Could this explosion be more powerful than early-stage Divine? Is Chen Fan below okay?" Bai Lin, still in District Thirteen, began to worry about Chen Fan. As the cave collapsed, Bai Lin immediately ran out of the tent to investigate.
Below ground.
Ultimately, they could not overcome sheer numbers.
As the violent explosion subsided, the entire main tomb began to tremble as if on the verge of collapse. Bai Zhannian, however, was sent flying backward, falling directly into the heavy water pool behind him. Due to the exhaustion of his true qi, he sank rapidly to the bottom.
