Everyone watched in shock as the Nascent Soul crawled out of Zhou Tianyu's head, their gazes glued to the sight.
So this is the other self that Immortals cultivate! No wonder it looks almost exactly like Zhou Tianyu himself. It turns out men can also get pregnant and give birth to children. Many villagers marveled at this thought.
In fact, this was one of the most mysterious and profound phenomena in the world. Heaven and Earth are fair to both men and women. Women can have children, and so can men, though it is infinitely more difficult. Once a man gestates a Nascent Soul, his life is granted a continuation. His lifespan will naturally be extended by a great deal, and he will become countless times more powerful, capable of overturning rivers, stirring the seas, and enacting Heaven-Destroying, Earth-Extinguishing feats.
A strange, heart-shaking cry suddenly erupted from Zhou Tianyu's mouth.
The Nascent Soul underwent a tremendous change. Its body burst forth with golden light, and it rose gradually into the sky like a second Sun. It shone so brilliantly that it seemed to compete with the real Sun in the sky. It quickly ascended to a height of about one hundred meters in the Void. Its body also grew at a rapid pace, expanding hundreds of thousands of times in a mere dozen breaths until it became a titanic infant that seemed to touch the heavens.
It was clad in golden Armor, and the miniature treasured sword in its hand also grew, transforming into a Giant Sword that stretched across Heaven and Earth, easily a hundred kilometers long.
A Heaven-Destroying, Earth-Extinguishing wave of Oppression burst from its body, surging and overflowing until it filled Heaven and Earth. A terrifying killing intent was also released from the Giant Sword, making the air feel icy cold.
Everyone involuntarily shivered, for they all felt a bone-chilling cold.
The Nascent Soul's two eyes shot out beams of golden Light, casting them into the area covered by the Great Array. Not even the dense white fog could block the golden Light's advance. The two beams shone down on the ground, moving rapidly like twin searchlights. Clearly, it was searching for the Array Plate.
To break a Formation, one must first find its core. The Array Plate was the core of this Great Array. However, locating the core of such a terrifying Formation was incredibly difficult, because one simply could not enter it without facing grave danger. Since entering was not an option, how could one possibly find the core?
For this reason, Golden Core Realm Cultivators could never break through such a sect-protecting Great Array. Only Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators, who had cultivated a Nascent Soul and possessed inconceivable Divine Skills, could locate an Array Plate from outside the Formation. As long as they attacked the Array Plate from outside and shattered it, the Great Array would naturally collapse.
The Nascent Soul was indeed magical, its golden eyes seemingly capable of seeing through anything. In less than three minutes, it located the Array Plate, its golden gaze locking onto the position.
On the ground, Zhou Tianyu, who was sitting cross-legged, also revealed a victorious smile. He was now eighty percent certain he could break the Formation.
The Nascent Soul in the sky mirrored his smile, raising its Sword high. A brilliant white light immediately burst from the weapon, crackling as if lightning surged across its surface. It was as if all the Light in Heaven and Earth was being drawn toward it. Then, it fiercely slashed downward. An incredibly sharp Sword Qi erupted from the blade, seemingly capable of breaking and slaying everything. The target, of course, was the Array Plate.
"Divine Tiger, strike!" Zhang Bin's expression turned serious. He raised his right hand high, his two fingers poised like a sword, pointing directly at the descending Giant Sword.
An eerie sound erupted as the earth suddenly shook violently. Countless golden lights—no, not lights, but Metal elements from the soil and rocks—shot out rapidly. They converged to form a Golden Giant Tiger that towered a kilometer high and stretched three kilometers long. This tiger had no fur; it was composed entirely of Metal. Resplendent in gold, it exuded an aura of indomitable strength and a vast, imposing presence. Its two eyes, as large as ponds, shot out intensely cold beams of Light, fixating on the descending Giant Sword. A suffocating, murderous aura permeated Heaven and Earth.
"My God, this is true Daoist Magic! This is turning beans into a tiger!"
"This is a battle of Immortals! We're blessed to witness this."
"Xiao Bin… has he really become this powerful? He's become an Immortal!"
The villagers all shouted in shock and awe. In that moment, they regained some confidence. Perhaps Zhang Bin really could defeat that old Immortal.
In truth, it wasn't just the villagers; even Master Tianlong and the other Golden Core Realm experts were astonished and speechless at the sight. They were not shocked by Zhou Tianyu's Nascent Soul, as they already knew he was powerful. Instead, they were astounded by Zhang Bin and the Taiqing Sect. This Formation was incredible and unlike any they had ever seen. The Giant Tiger it conjured seemed immensely powerful. Most importantly, the beast was terrifyingly lifelike and fierce, with bone spurs on its flanks and exceedingly sharp claws. The sheer ferocity it emanated made even them, standing outside the Formation, shudder.
"KILL!" The Nascent Soul in the sky showed no fear. A cold sneer spread across its face as it shouted, and the Sword in its hand suddenly accelerated, striking like a bolt of thunder from the heavens as it slashed toward the Array Plate.
ROAR! The Giant Tiger let out a terrifying cry. Its four paws slammed into the ground, causing the earth to crack and collapse as it shot forward like an arrow. It swiped a paw as large as a giant fan, fiercely swatting the descending Giant Sword.
CLANG!
An earth-shattering sound erupted, sending sparks flying thousands of feet into the air. The Giant Sword was flung high into the air, its downward slash thwarted.
However, the Giant Tiger was also knocked backward as if struck by a bolt of Thunder, crashing to the ground with a loud bang. The impact created a spectacle of flying rocks, splintered trees, and billowing smoke. But the Giant Tiger immediately leaped back to its feet. It stood there proudly, coldly eyeing the Nascent Soul in the sky.
The faces of both Zhou Tianyu and his Nascent Soul showed simultaneous looks of surprise. Clearly, the Formation's defensive power had exceeded his expectations.
Zhang Bin, on the other hand, relaxed considerably. Although Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators were formidable, Zhou Tianyu was likely only in the Initial Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, so he wasn't too terrifying yet. If he were in the Middle Stage, the Great Array might not have been able to hold him off.
But Zhang Bin's relief was short-lived, for the Nascent Soul in the sky had completely lost its temper.
It began slashing its treasured sword downward like a torrential rain, its Speed terrifying.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
The noise was piercing and shrill. White Light flickered wildly as the chilling killing intent soared to the heavens
