In the center of the palace, there was a carving of a sharp sword that seemed poised to pierce through the heavens, to break the skies asunder.
The next moment, the sword within the palace suddenly shot out. From atop the white jade-like palace, a beam of rainbow light burst forth, slashing across the sky as if a rainbow, and the void was instantly penetrated by this light.
Before the sword light even touched down, the lethal Sword Qi had already reached Cao Zhen's presence. The sharpness of the Sword Qi made Cao Zhen feel as though even the outermost layer of his Protective Divine Power would be pierced through without the Sword Qi actually landing on him.
This sword was sharp to the extreme.
Cao Zhen had fought many opponents, and among all those he had encountered, this strike was the sharpest!
Even Wu Jianzi, who practiced the Sword Dao and emphasized the sharpness of the first draw, had never delivered an attack as sharp as this!
Facing the sharpness of this sword, Cao Zhen's hands waved at breakneck speed, and in an instant, the illusory shadows of the sun and moon appeared.
Rotation of the Sun and Moon!
With the movement of his hands, the sword light that fell seemed like a real sharp sword plunging into the whirlpool of the ocean. However, this sword was so sharp that it seemed capable of splitting the whirlpool itself.
Unlike before, when Cao Zhen executed the Rotation of the Sun and Moon and the sword light rotated with the flow of energy, the sword light continued to advance relentlessly.
This was the first time that Cao Zhen had encountered such a situation since he acquired the Rotation of the Sun and Moon. He had no choice but to accelerate his hand movements, with more mana surging from within. Soon, the air around him began to swirl as well.
As the circulation of energy became stronger, the sword light under its influence finally began to dissipate.
Dissipation!
Previously, deploying the Rotation of the Sun and Moon was not about dissipating the opponent's power but reflecting it back. But now, the sword light was starting to dissipate.
Clearly, the sword light was too powerful to be reflected!
As Cao Zhen waved his hands rapidly, the sword light finally dissipated completely.
Yet the Fourth Prince revealed a brilliantly radiant smile on his face.
It was, indeed, commendable for Cao Zhen to have blocked his strike. However, he had not intended for this sword to grievously wound Cao Zhen in the first place, given that Cao Zhen was a reincarnated individual of great ability, not so easily injured.
But to break through this sword strike, Cao Zhen had expended a great deal of mana. How much could he possibly have left now?
In the void, the Heavenly Tribulation was descending once again.
Cao Zhen also sensed the fall of the Heavenly Tribulation from within the void and in a flash, a massive stele appeared before him.
Around the stele, the power of Dragon-Elephants converged with azure dragon Qi entwined upon the backs of the elephants.
The Dragon-Elephant Stele!
The fearsome thunder crashed down upon the stele, leaving a clear crack on its surface, but that was all—merely a crack, for the stele did not shatter completely.
At the moment when the Dragon-Elephant Stele blocked the thunder, Cao Zhen produced a Talisman in his hand. Mana surged from his hand into the talisman which, in an instant, burst into flames. As the talisman burned, a highly refined energy engulfed the area, furiously flooding into Cao Zhen's body like an unstoppable deluge.
In just a moment, Cao Zhen's entire aura surged, returning him to his peak state.
Revival Talisman!
The Fourth Prince's eyes widened in shock. What was this?
A talisman for restoring mana?
He was certainly aware of mana-restoring talismans, and within the Praying Heaven Royal Family, they retained methods for Talisman Making, all of which were top-notch techniques.
Yet even so, his Praying Heaven Royal Family could not produce a talisman capable of restoring all mana instantly like this one!
How could this talisman be so outrageously powerful!
Who really was Cao Zhen in his previous life?
The Fourth Prince had been paying attention to Cao Zhen for a long time, ever since Cao Zhen discussed the Dao at the Thousand Caves Door, he had been monitoring him. After all, Cao Zhen excelled in everything—calligraphy, the Painting Way, musical rhythm, and all the six arts of Immortal Cultivation—to the highest level. How could he not pay attention?
Later, after learning that Cao Zhen was a reincarnation of a great ability, his suspicions were confirmed; he had guessed as much long before.
Yet this reincarnated individual seemed different, cultivating everything.
Following Cao Zhen's victory at the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty's Champions Contest of the Immortals, he started to take Cao Zhen seriously.
On the contest stage, there was another reincarnated individual, Star Lord Hao Yue, who, despite being at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, was defeated by Cao Zhen at only the sixth layer of the Golden Core. How could he not pay serious attention!
Even if Star Lord Hao Yue was not at his best, having been worn down by Ling Xi and Xiang Ziyu, it was still a formidable feat.
But now, witnessing Cao Zhen use such a heaven-defying talisman, he was filled with even greater astonishment!
With his mana restored, Cao Zhen immediately launched a fierce attack on the Fourth Prince, a battle of attrition to see who could outlast whom.
Here, in this place, they could both only fly in the same direction and were incapable of moving otherwise. He, however, could continuously attack the Fourth Prince with his divine skills.
Although the Fourth Prince could also use divine skills to attack, Cao Zhen, with his multi-faceted Golden Core, possessed ten types of divine skills. In this straightforward clash of divine skills, he was undoubtedly at an advantage.
