Chapter 1230

"Back then, when you stole the Buddha Emperor Dipankara from the Tempest Temple, you actually thought of burying your Taoist bone here and stealing the faith of the Buddha Emperor's sentient beings. I really don't know how you managed to prepare for a rainy day like this."

The black dog looked at the phalanx in the box and said solemnly.

Even though it still held grudges against the man in front of it, it had to admit that he was terrifyingly intelligent.

"Haha, it's actually not as incredible as you think."

The Man with a bamboo hat smiled as he grabbed the phalanx from the wooden box and placed it on his hand. In an instant, it was as if they were originally one, perfectly fusing with each other.

"I left this phalanx behind because I thought it would be a waste to leave the faith of the sentient beings on Mount Meru unoccupied. Secondly, I used it as a backup plan. If the Heavenly Axiom of the Divine Realm can't help me condense the origin of my soul, I can still try here."

"Who would've thought that even though I've become an Emperor in the Divine Realm, I would still be suppressed by the Decaying Door. Even now, I still have to use this backup plan for other purposes. It's truly fate."

The Man with a bamboo hat sighed as a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.

He raised his hand and used the golden phalanx to draw in the air. Circles after circles of formless Taoist markings spread out.

"After planning for so long, everyone who should be here is finally here. It's time for the game to begin!"

He spread his arms to embrace the heavens and the earth. His will-o '-the-wisp eyes overflowed with powerful soul power, intertwining into a net in the void and slowly forming a formation!

"Fellow Daoist Hei Zun, please protect me."

The Man with a bamboo hat was covered in a glow as he looked at the black dog.

"Since we've made a deal, I'll naturally do my best." The black dog nodded.

The Man with a bamboo hat smiled and did not say anything else. He closed his eyes completely and focused on the plan before him.

…

Gu Chen and Fang Wen started a battle of unprecedented proportions!

Gu Chen fully opened the Four-Pole Black Hole, frequently borrowing the vast immortal spiritual energy in his body, and his strength was 655% greater than usual.

However, Fang Wen's dao techniques were superb. Even though Gu Chen was suppressing him in terms of strength, he changed his fate multiple times and used the lives of others to negate all the attacks. This caused Gu Chen's efforts to go to waste!

Hum –

After being heavily injured by Gu Chen once again, Fang Wen once again performed the Fate Changing Art. In the distance, a member of the Pure Spirit Kingdom suddenly died.

Gu Chen wore the River Styx Battle Armor and held the Underworld Sword in his hand. He panted heavily as he looked at Fang Wen, who had easily recovered. His eyes flickered with a purple and green light as he muttered to himself. "Two lives left …"

Fang Wen's Fate Changing Art was even more troublesome to deal with than Gu Chen's Undying Body. In this high-intensity battle, Gu Chen's stamina was greatly depleted. The burden of borrowing the origin energy from the black hole grew heavier and heavier.

Fortunately, this intense depletion was not without rewards. Gu Chen gradually understood the theory behind Fang Wen's Fate Changing Art.

The Fate Changing Art seemed invincible, but it actually needed to be set up in advance.

Fang Wen had to find suitable substitutes in advance and cast the art on them. Only then would he be able to use them to block for him when needed.

This could be seen from the entanglement between the fates of those who had died and Fang Wen's. This dao technique was not as mysterious as imagined.

Gu Chen had comprehended the origin of time and space of the Celestial Emperor. This involved the Dao of Fate and Karma. He used karma to make a deduction and roughly determined that Fang Wen still had two substitutes left.

As long as those two substitutes died, Fang Wen would no longer be able to change his fate. The victory of this battle would belong to him!

"You actually managed to cause me multiple fatal injuries. The price I have to pay to see through you is greater than I had imagined."

Fang Wen, who had just successfully changed his fate, stared at Gu Chen and smiled. "Fortunately, I have now completely seen through you. It's time to determine the victor of this battle."

Fang Wen's words caused Gu Chen's eyes to narrow slightly. It seemed like he wasn't the only one who had been observing and testing Fang Wen during the intense battle earlier. Fang Wen was doing the same as well.

In order to find Fang Wen's flaws, Fang Wen had purposely sacrificed a few lives?

Gu Chen didn't know if Fang Wen was bluffing. His expression was exceptionally calm. "It's time to determine the victor as soon as possible. My target isn't you."

The battle on Mount Meru had already reached its climax. Gu Chen had been held up by Fang Wen for a period of time. He still didn't know what the Man with a Bamboo Hat was up to. He was actually very anxious.

"Your target is that Jingling Taoist? I didn't expect to be looked down upon. "

Fang Wen's expression turned cold. With a flip of his hand, he retrieved a wooden sword!

This wooden sword was slightly yellow and had three thin lines on its body. Apart from this, it didn't look very impressive.

However, when Gu Chen saw this sword, his expression turned even more serious. He noticed that after this sword appeared, the fate surrounding Fang Wen had become even more complicated and difficult to predict.

"There are two main reasons why you were able to deal a fatal blow to me earlier."

"First, it's because you have many Emperor Weapons on you. You relied on the extremely strong defensive power of your Underworld River Battle Armor to exchange your life with mine. In addition, that Underworld Dao Sword has the power of death, causing me to be at a disadvantage."

Fang Wen lightly waved the sword in his hand as the corners of his mouth curled up in a confident smile. "However, now that I have taken out this Trinity Sword, your advantage has completely disappeared."

Gu Chen only coldly stared at him.

When Fang Wen saw that Gu Chen wasn't moving, his expression turned sinister. He gripped the Trinity Sword and stabbed towards Gu Chen!

Fang Wen was an Origin Master and wasn't proficient in battle. This sword technique was also very common in Gu Chen's eyes.

He raised the Underworld Dao Sword and directly clashed with the Trinity Sword!

Ding ~ ~ ~

Like a needle against an awl, the two Emperor's Swords emitted a terrifying aura as they clashed against each other!

Clang!

Under this intense exchange, Gu Chen's Underworld Dao Sword was sent flying uncontrollably!

Clang!

Fang Wen laughed mockingly when he saw this. The Trinity Sword stabbed out again, heading straight for Gu Chen's chest.

The Underworld River Battle Armor blocked this attack, but it wasn't able to defend perfectly like before. Gu Chen's body was injured from the impact. With a cry, he spat out a large mouthful of blood!

"How is this possible?"

Gu Chen's organs were in pain as he stared at Fang Wen in disbelief.

In terms of the level of his sword technique, he was far superior to Fang Wen's.

The power of the Underworld Dao Sword itself wasn't any weaker than the Trinity Sword. After all, it seemed to be an Emperor Weapon related to fate.

However, the result of the exchange was completely different from what Gu Chen had expected. Not only did the Underworld Dao Sword fly out of his hand, but the Underworld River Battle Armor was also damaged!

"Aren't you surprised?"

Fang Wen looked sympathetically at Gu Chen. "No one told you before, right? Although you have many Emperor Weapons, none of them are your own Dao Proving Weapon. Naturally, they can't compare to my Trinity Sword. "

"Dao Proving Weapon?"

Gu Chen was enlightened. He had heard about Dao Proving Weapon many times, so he naturally understood what Fang Wen meant.

No matter how powerful the Underworld Dao Sword and the Underworld River were, they were ultimately the weapons of the Yellow Springs Immortal Emperor and the Underworld Emperor. They were unable to be completely compatible with him.

Only a weapon that had proven its Dao with an Emperor would be able to display its full power and possess terrifying growth potential.
