Xu Nian looked at the three attackers with a playful glint in his eyes.
With the barrier formed by the Taichu Core, these three warriors couldnât break it without using their law powers, no matter how hard they tried.
Of course, it was nearly impossible for Xu Nian to counterattack and kill them.
Xu Nian considered that, even with the power of the Taichu Core, he could at best tie with the three.
After all, they had Divine Power Liquid in their possession, and Xiahou, as the Young Sect Master of the Tianjian Sect, surely had means to save his life.
Wanting to kill him would undoubtedly be no easy task.
Rather than take the risk of killing them, it would be better to trap them here.
In any case, the Divine Demon Avatar staying here was also cultivating.
"Young Sect Master, itâs useless. This guy has a special energy defense around him."
"Yes, this energy is very bizarre. Our attacks seem to be dissolved by an invisible force."
Two Immortal Sovereign level experts said.
They also found it strange, as the energy fluctuation was quite unique.
"Useless fools, send a message out for support from the sectâs experts. I refuse to believe we canât deal with this guy," the Young Sect Master of the Tianjian Sect roared.
"Young Sect Master, we canât even send messages; our souls cannot even extend outward," one of the Immortal Sovereigns said helplessly.
"What? Letâs go; weâll all leave together." The Young Sect Master of the Tianjian Sect immediately charged towards the blue mist with the two Immortal Sovereigns.
Time kept slipping by.
About three days passed.
The Tianjian Sect Master and two Immortal Sovereigns finally retreated from the blue mist.
They looked utterly disheveled at that moment.
After walking for three whole days, they still couldnât get out of this valley.
The eerie mist was like a huge sphere, and they kept wandering within it.
They couldnât get out no matter what they did.
Not even the sky worked!
This infuriated Xiahou to the point of near madness.
"Itâs all because of this guy. Get him, use the Divine Power Liquid, and make sure to kill him," Xiahou pointed at Xu Nian and said.
"Yes, Young Sect Master!"
The two Immortal Sovereign experts immediately absorbed the Divine Power Liquid and charged at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian remained unfazed.
Even if they could use the Divine Power Liquid, without the law powers, their attack power was greatly reduced.
"Boom!"
The two joined forces and launched an attack on Xu Nian and the energy formed by the Taichu Core.
Yet in the end, they still couldnât break through the energy wall formed by Xu Nianâs Taichu Core.
"Boom boom boom!"
The two continued attacking but to no avail against Xu Nian.
Until they expended all of their divine power, they couldnât even touch a single hair on Xu Nian.
This scene made Xiahou tremble with anger.
He decided to use Divine Power Liquid himself, but the result was still the same.
Xu Nian watched the three with a playful look in his eyes.
"I said I would let you taste the feeling of being trapped," Xu Nian said with a smile.
He then sat down cross-legged to start cultivating.
This scene drove Xiahou completely crazy.
But he had no way out.
They couldnât leave, and they couldnât hit Xu Nian.
They couldnât make contact with the outside world either; they were almost isolated.
Desperation spread in Xiahouâs heart.
The Divine Demon Avatar, Xu Nian, saw the nearly collapsing Xiahou, and his smile grew wider.
Anyway, only an avatar was left here with them, and he would just outlast Xiahou like this.
He wanted to see how long Xiahou could hold out.
Time flew by, a month passed.
During this month, Xu Nian kept cultivating as usual.
Since he possessed the Taichu Core, he could conduct law cultivation himself.
During this time, he focused on comprehending the Law True Body of the Earth Attribute Black Hole Law.
On the other side, Xiahou and the others could do nothing.
In the wilderness, they couldnât absorb Immortal Qi from heaven and earth.
They couldnât sense the laws either, so for a whole month, the three of them could only stare blankly.
Sometimes, Xu Nian would deliberately irritate them by hunting Immortal Beasts that ventured into the area and roasting them to eat.
Xiahou was so enraged that he almost spat blood.
He, the dignified Young Sect Master of the Tianjian Sect, was reduced to such a state.
It was an enormous humiliation.
"Xu Nian, if you have the guts, come out and fight me to the death. Donât be a coward hiding in your shell," Xiahou roared.
His eyes were filled with boundless killing intent.
Though he couldnât use the laws, he had one trump card.
It could only be used once. If Xu Nian agreed to come out and fight, he could seize the opportunity to kill Xu Nian with a single strike.
Yet Xu Nian just hid behind the mysterious energy wall, refusing to come out.
This made Xiahouâs teeth itch with anger.
"I wonât come out, Young Sect Master of the Tianjian Sect. I know you have a trump card. If I remove this energy wall, youâd attempt to kill me immediately, so you can give up on that thought," Xu Nian replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiahou spat a mouthful of blood in rage.
Yet there was nothing he could do about it.
"Letâs go; I refuse to believe we canât find a way out! Iâll chop my way through if I have to," Xiahou roared.
He then led the two Immortal Sovereigns back into the blue mist.
In the end, it was still the same; they wandered around for a long time, only to return to Xu Nianâs side.
His face was now as dark as could be.
"Young Sect Master, this place is truly like the topography of Xianjue Mountain; even an Immortal Emperor wouldnât be able to leave," one of the Immortal Sovereigns said.
Xiahouâs face darkened further upon hearing this.
He turned to Xu Nian and demanded angrily, "Xu Nian, what do you want for us to be released?"
Xu Nian ignored his question.
Xiahou was seething with fury, his anger almost making him lose his mind.
"Xu Nian, if you donât let us go, you wonât escape either. When reinforcements from my sect arrive, youâll be dead," Xiahou said, glaring at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian finally looked at Xiahou and said, "I forgot to tell you, the one in front of you is just my avatar. My true form and another avatar have long since left this place."
"Puff!"
Xiahou spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
He went mad with anger, vowing he would tear Xu Nian to pieces if given the chance.
Even the two Immortal Sovereigns looked extremely serious.
This Xu Nian had such strange methods.
If they had known this would be the outcome, they would never have followed to kill Xu Nian.
...
Meanwhile, as Xu Nianâs Divine Demon Avatar trapped the three from the Tianjian Sect, Xu Nianâs true form had arrived in Haohai City.
Just as Xu Nian reached the East Gate of Haohai City...
He encountered someone.
This person seemed to have been waiting for him.
"You finally came," Dongfang Ping said, looking at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian looked at Dongfang Ping with a cautious expression.
"Youâve been impersonating me all this time, what exactly is your objective?"
Xu Nian demanded.
Dongfang Ping eyed Xu Nianâs wary expression and laughed softly.
"I told you I wasnât interested in Godhood, and as for the Divine Artifact, I wasnât particularly interested either. I impersonated you to train myself and also to lure you here," Dongfang Ping laughed.
"Lure me here?" Xu Nian showed a hint of bewilderment.
