Chapter 145 Divine Forbidden Zone

"This is a divine restriction? Legend says only a young emperor could comprehend this supreme realm! How is this possible? What makes Zhang Taichu so special? What makes him so special?!"

"I don't believe it! How could a Source Mage possibly comprehend a Divine Forbidden Technique? I haven't even reached the Eighth Forbidden Technique yet!"

These words were spoken by the first prince of the Jiuli Dynasty, whose status was equivalent to that of Xia Yiming in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Xia Yiming was equally shocked. As a prince of the dynasty, he was recognized as having extremely high talent from a young age, and later received top-notch training during his growth.

He was learning the Taihuang Scripture, which was said to have the strongest attack power. The source he needed for cultivation was inexhaustible. When he became interested in source techniques, the imperial court even found experts from source technique families to teach him.

In short, Xia Yiming has always had everything he could ever want since he was a child.

He had always believed that he was one of the top geniuses in the entire Central Continent, and even the entire Beidou. He even had the ambition to remove the word "one of" and become the strongest genius in Beidou.

However, his confidence has now been shattered.

Zhang Taichu, a nobody whom he had never really thought much of since they first met, had actually grown up step by step and surpassed him without him even realizing it, which was something he found hard to accept.

Although Xia Yiming felt Zhang Taichu's strength during the previous two years of life-or-death arena battles, he was not discouraged. Instead, it fueled his fighting spirit, and he prepared to train hard after returning home.

However, now, facing Zhang Taichu who has mastered the Divine Restriction, Xia Yiming felt no desire to catch up at all.

"The gap is so huge, is it really possible for me to catch up with him?"

At that moment, a cracking sound seemed to emanate from within Xia Yiming's body—the sound of his Dao Heart shattering.

Xia Yiming's Dao Heart was shattered, and the other holy sons and daughters of various sects were not much better off. Yao Xi's expression was solemn. This time she came with her own Holy Master, but unfortunately Yao Guang did not bring the Imperial Weapon, so she was not qualified to participate in the final Green Bronze competition.

She also felt immense pressure after seeing Zhang Taichu's divine restriction.

However, compared to Xia Yiming, Yao Xi had a better mindset; she only felt the pressure but did not give up on her ideals.

"Is this the Divine Forbidden Realm? It's almost like an immortal descending to earth, in harmony with the Dao. It's somewhat similar to Zixia, but even more extraordinary. I wonder when I will be able to comprehend it."

"Why don't we find a chance to get to know him? I don't like Yaoguang anyway, so how about I compete with Yaochi?"

Yao Xi turned to look at the Holy Maiden of Yaochi in the crowd, already regarding her as a rival.

Amidst the intense anticipation of everyone, Zhang Taichu spoke.

"Listen up, people of Great Xia and Jiuli. You have two choices: leave with dignity or leave without dignity. Choose."

"Arrogant!! Zhang Taichu, who do you think you are? Do you really think the Divine Forbidden Realm is invincible? The power of the Imperial Weapon is beyond your imagination."

The Nine Li Emperor was furious. He had lived for nearly three thousand years, and this was the first time someone had told him to get lost so bluntly. How could he tolerate it?

"Is this the choice of your Nine Li Dynasty? Emperor of Great Xia, what is your choice?"

The Great Xia Emperor remained relatively calm, but he also could not leave, otherwise, what would become of the dynasty's reputation?

"Since you have chosen to leave in such an undignified manner, then I will help you leave in a dignified manner. Queen Mother of the West, may I borrow the imperial weapon?"

With a wave of her hand, the Queen Mother of the West relinquished control of the Western Emperor Tower. At the same time, she was also very curious about the extent to which Zhang Taichu, who was in a state of divine restriction, could revive the Western Emperor Tower.

And how to deal with the combined forces of the Supreme Emperor Sword and the Nine Li Diagram—she quickly understood.

The Western Emperor Pagoda hung high above Zhang Taichu's head. Immediately afterward, the entire sacred mountain shook violently, and the power of the Qinling Dragon Vein erupted in full force, sending out ten thousand divine dragons in one breath!

These divine dragons are formed from the dragon energy of the dragon veins. Each one possesses the power of a second-level immortal, and tens of thousands of them would be tens of thousands of second-level immortals.

Under Zhang Taichu's control, ten thousand divine dragons poured into the West Emperor Tower. The next second, the entire West Emperor Tower became even larger than the Divine Mountain, and the military spirits inside it were fully revived.

All the disciples of Yaochi, including the Queen Mother of the West, were utterly shocked.

Although they have been with the Western Emperor Tower for many years, they have never fully revived the Imperial Weapon. Usually, they only use it to wield the Emperor's power.

Unlike now, when the spirit of the soldiers within the army has been fully restored, it's as if the Queen Mother of the West has been reborn.

"Buzz"

The tower trembled slightly, and amidst the exclamations of the two emperors, the Taihuang Sword and the Jiuli Diagram broke free from control and flew straight towards the West Emperor Tower.

"That's impossible!"

The Nine Li Emperor shouted loudly, trying to jump up and snatch back his imperial weapon. However, the imperial might of the Western Emperor Tower made everyone unable to move. Let alone jump up, even raising their heads required all their strength.

The Great Xia Emperor was numb; they were powerless to stop the Supreme Emperor Sword from being snatched away by the Holy Spirit Quasi-Emperor.

Now that Zhang Taichu has taken it away again, they are still helpless. This situation, where their own imperial weapon is controlled by outsiders, is truly humiliating and frustrating.

In the blink of an eye, the two imperial weapons were stored inside the West Emperor Tower. The entire West Emperor Tower shook violently a few times, and then fell silent.

"How about it? Leaving now is still dignified. If you don't leave, I'll kick your asses and kick you out!"

Faced with Zhang Taichu, who was almost an immortal, the two dynasties dared not speak out in anger. Even their own imperial weapons had been taken away. If they dared to utter any more threats, they would be courting death!

Their dynasty does indeed have a strong foundation, but that foundation can only be unlocked in times of life and death. Besides, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, and even the strongest foundation cannot arrive in time.

"Let's go!"

The two emperors left in disgrace, and the rest of the people were even worse off. They knew that the situation was hopeless when Zhang Taichu took away the Taihuang Sword and the Jiuli Map. All the treasures in the Immortal Transformation Pool and the Eternal Dragon Cave belonged to Zhang Taichu's side, and the others didn't even have the right to drink the soup.

Soon, only Zhang Taichu and his allies remained on the sacred mountain where the Immortal Transformation Pool was located.

"Primordial Beginning, is this truly a divine prohibition?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi had the closest relationship with Zhang Taichu, so she was the first to come and inquire.

At this moment, Zhang Taichu's aura was rapidly weakening, and everyone understood that he had exited the state of divine restriction.

"It is indeed a divine restriction, but I am not yet familiar with its use. In the future, I will probably need to meditate for several hours to use it each time, so it has little practical significance in combat."

Zhang Taichu released incorrect information. In fact, although it is true that one needs to enter a meditative state for a period of time before entering this divine barrier, it does not require several hours.

He can use it whenever there's a fight, it's kind of like Batman.

If Batman fights someone, given enough time to prepare, he can defeat even Superman!

"Senior, the Supreme Emperor Sword and the Nine Li Diagram can only suppress it for three days at most. After three days, the Imperial Weapon and the Divine Being will revive and break free from the control of the Western Emperor Tower."

"Unless I continuously use the power of the Qinling Dragon Vein to provide energy to the Western Emperor Tower, even then, it can only be suppressed for a month at most, and this would completely offend the two great dynasties, which would be a loss."

"I see."

The Queen Mother of the West took over control of the Western Emperor Tower. As the Holy Land's Holy Lord, she knew how to handle the relationship between the Holy Land and the Immortal Dynasty. Although things had just escalated, it wasn't a situation of irreconcilable conflict.

With the ancient race about to be born, it's not appropriate to strain relations too much.

"It's a pity that Wang Teng got away, otherwise we could have taken him down just now."

Zhang Taichu looked regretful, and Ye Fan and the others also felt sorry when they heard this.

Wang Teng is now considered the common enemy of their group. From now on, every encounter will be a fight to the death. Just now, there was such a good opportunity, but unfortunately, Wang Teng saw that things were not going well and immediately activated the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Talisman and ran away, not giving Zhang Taichu a chance to kill him at all.

"Um—this piece of green copper is something I lost in my past life, look—"

Duan De shamelessly approached, his eyes fixed on the green copper block in Zhang Taichu's hand.

After much deliberation, Zhang Taichu decided to keep the piece of green copper for himself.

In the original story, the green copper belonged to Ye Fan, and it was a fragment of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron. Later, when Ye Fan returned to Earth, it also played a very important role.

However, one piece of green copper is enough; having one more or one smaller piece doesn't make a big difference.

Moreover, the way the Azure Emperor glanced at Zhang Taichu before leaving with murderous intent might be interpreted by others as Zhang Taichu using the profound mysteries of immortal metal to secretly learn the Azure Emperor's secret techniques, which is why the Azure Emperor glared at him and gave him a small warning.

But Zhang Taichu gained a lot at that moment, including the complete Azure Emperor Scripture and a wealth of cultivation insights.

It was precisely by relying on these things, as well as the profound meaning of the Divine Mark Purple Gold, that Zhang Taichu was able to directly enter the state of divine restriction.

Otherwise, he would at most gain some experience and Dao traces, and it would be far less fast to quickly turn them into combat power than it is now.

Such a great gift clearly creates a karmic connection with the Azure Emperor. Considering that the real Azure Emperor is still alive, Zhang Taichu decided to accept the green copper that the Azure Emperor's murderous intent resided in, and take on this karmic burden.

"Master Duan, I cannot give you this green bronze. Although you may have been a great figure in your past life, you are still too weak in this one. I will give you three chances. You can use any means to steal or rob it, and even if you fail, I will not kill you. But after three chances, you should give up completely."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Duan De was straightforward; he simply took the Devouring Demon Cover and left.

The others, including the old blind man, stayed behind to discuss the distribution of the spoils.

Zhang Taichu entrusted this matter to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, asking her to represent him in dividing the spoils of war, while he himself went to find the Holy Prince who wanted to leave.

"Your Highness, please wait. I have a deal I'd like to discuss with you."

"trade?"

"Is the Holy Prince here to vie for the Immortal Elixir of Mortals and the Essence of Dreams to extend the life of the Victorious Fighting Buddha?"

"Not bad, you really know a lot, but this time you're one step ahead, and I admit defeat wholeheartedly."

Seeing that the monkey was so straightforward, Zhang Taichu stopped beating around the bush and told him that he wanted the secret technique of creating an avatar.

Upon hearing that the other party wanted to exchange a fragment of the Immortal Pill of the Mortal World or a portion of the Dream Essence, the monkey agreed without hesitation.

In the monkey's eyes, the so-called secret techniques were not important. He was determined to become the second Victorious Fighting Emperor. He knew very well that secret techniques were just an aid. The truly powerful one was always a human.

As an ancient prince, he will surely forge his own path in the future, which means creating his own secret techniques, so he does not value the existing secret techniques.

If it were just for himself, he wouldn't even care about mortal elixirs or dreamlike essences, because those are all external things. He came here this time for his family.

In the end, Zhang Taichu successfully used a portion of his spoils to obtain the secret technique of creating an avatar from the monkey, thus completing the imperial script of the avatar technique.
