"Senior Brother Xuandu is too soft-hearted. His strength is no less than that of Daoist Randeng, but he only used less than 80% of his strength. His loss to Daoist Randeng is entirely a matter of personality."

After watching the battle between Grand Master Xuandu and Daoist Ran Deng, Fang Yang felt a pang of regret.

Grand Master Xuandu is quite powerful; he possesses magical treasures, supernatural abilities, and profound cultivation. With this combination, he could potentially defeat Daoist Ran Deng.

Several times, Grand Master Xuandu had the opportunity to defeat Daoist Ran Deng. However, Grand Master Xuandu was unwilling to use force and missed a great opportunity.

Fang Yang didn't rush to the stage. He watched the two Western heroes finish their rigged match before formally challenging Ran Deng Dao Ren.

Although the Western Sect was plotting against the Jie Sect, this was a battle of wits between the Tongtian Sect Leader and the two Western Saints. Fang Yang would not be so presumptuous as to join in the battle between the Saints.

Fang Yang knew perfectly well what tricks the two Western Saints had played. There was no need for him to step forward and humiliate the Western Sect.

Fang Yang was certain that the Jie Sect had many spies sent by the Western Sect, but he pretended not to know about it. He would suppress these spies along with the Seven Immortals of Penglai when dealing with them, and send them to the Heavenly Court.

While it might have felt good to humiliate the Sage at the time, Fang Yang couldn't withstand the Sage's retaliation. The Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't possibly be permanently attached to Fang Yang, protecting him at every moment.

Fang Yang's choice greatly pleased the two Western Saints.

After Daoist Ran Deng defeated Grand Master Xuan Du, the two heroes of the West were on tenterhooks. They were terrified that Fang Yang would challenge Daoist Ran Deng prematurely, causing them to miss the opportunity to stage a fixed match. If that happened, the Western Sect would lose all face and prestige.

The two Western heroes believed that, given Fang Yang's lawless nature, he was very likely to do such a thing. Unexpectedly, Fang Yang actually gave them the time.

The Two Sages of the West were the masters of the Two Heroes of the West, so their concerns naturally reached them. When Fang Yang spared the Two Heroes of the West, the Two Sages greatly admired Fang Yang's understanding and consideration.

Even though Fang Yang was the disciple of their rival, they couldn't help but admire this junior.

"Junior Brother Fang Yang, you've just advanced to the peak of the Great Luo realm. Are you truly confident in your ability to fight me?"

The Taoist Ran Deng wore a relaxed smile, seemingly very confident in defeating Fang Yang. In reality, however, he was not as relaxed as he appeared. His right hand was tucked into his sleeve, his fist clenched tightly, and the veins on his arm bulged.

He was nervous; he couldn't even think of a way to defeat Fang Yang.

"There's no guarantee of success."

Fang Yang nodded slightly.

"Senior Brother is a guest of Zixiao Palace, an ancient immortal, while I am merely an ordinary, acquired being. Facing a primordial deity like Senior Brother, I feel immense pressure. However, I have always admired the brilliance of the three thousand senior masters of Zixiao Palace. Having finally encountered a guest of Zixiao Palace at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, I cannot miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Senior Brother is a senior master; how about letting me have three moves?"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Ran Deng nearly split open on the spot.

Fang Yang's words were all flattery and admiration, but in reality, every single one of them was a self-deprecating remark.

The Taoist Ran Deng couldn't understand why Fang Yang harbored such great malice towards him when all he did was go to Wuyi Mountain and compete with Fang Yang for the Treasure-Dropping Coin.

If he knew that the Dinghai Dzi Pearl was in Fang Yang's hands, he would understand why.

It wasn't that Fang Yang disliked him, but rather that the two of them had a conflict over the Great Dao. Grudges and favors could be reconciled, but a conflict over the Great Dao would inevitably be a matter of life and death.

For Daoist Ran Deng to attain enlightenment, he must plot against Fang Yang's Sea-Stabilizing Heavenly Pearl. For Fang Yang to protect himself, he must strike first, eliminating Daoist Ran Deng to prevent any possibility of Ran Deng plotting against him.

Daoist Ran Deng took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and still wore a friendly smile: "Junior Brother Fang Yang is joking. The Dao Discussion Conference emphasizes fair exchange, how can there be any reason to give way? Since you dare to challenge me, you must have some confidence. I will definitely go all out to help you achieve your goal."

Before he finished speaking, the Daoist Burning Lamp's body surged with immortal light, and an ancient bronze coffin slowly emerged. The coffin was covered with Daoist runes, exuding an aura that suppressed all heavens and annihilated all things.

In order to deal with Fang Yang, Daoist Burning Lamp directly revealed his true form in the Coffin of Annihilation.

Even before Fang Yang made a move, he sensed Fang Yang's terrifying power. He didn't sense Fang Yang's magical power; he sensed a dangerous aura.

The Taoist Ran Deng's intuition told him that Fang Yang was extremely powerful. Once he fell behind in the battle, he would remain at a disadvantage forever, with no chance of turning the tide.

boom!

As soon as the bronze coffin was opened, an aura of annihilation emanated from it. Then, the entire void was sealed off, and a gigantic phantom coffin appeared, enveloping the entire debating platform.

As the phantom of the coffin appeared, the Coffin of Annihilation projected thousands of beams of divine light of annihilation, each beam of light enveloping the phantom of a coffin.

More than two thousand coffins hovered in mid-air, and all the coffin lids slid off automatically, with the coffin openings facing Fang Yang.

Tap tap tap! Tap tap tap!

Before the astonished gazes of the immortals, a phantom emerged from each coffin. Each of these phantoms possessed a unique aura of the Great Dao, and each had cultivated their Dao to an extremely high degree of perfection. The manifestation of any one of them triggered a resonance with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

In the guest seats, the Kunpeng Ancestor stared intently at the illusory figures. With a tremor of his hand, he actually crushed a wine cup of the acquired spiritual treasure level, causing it to explode on the spot.

"Dijun, Taiyi!"

A chilling murderous intent emanated from his mouth.

"My dear brother Hongyun! My oh dear brother!!"

Even Zhenyuan Daxian lost his composure, staring intently at a figure in red robes as if he were seeing a brother he hadn't seen for many years.

These two were not the only ones who lost their composure; the Queen Mother of the West, the Jade Emperor, and others all paled upon seeing the phantoms emerging from the coffins.

All the guests who once perished in Zixiao Palace have appeared here!

"How is this possible? Such powerful divine magic. Is he really Daoist Ran Deng?"

Chi was dumbfounded. He stared at the figures in disbelief. He had always thought that Daoist Ran Deng was a good-for-nothing, and that he, having cultivated to the peak of the Great Luo realm, could easily deal with Daoist Ran Deng.

He never expected that Daoist Ran Deng had secretly cultivated such profound magic.

Yes, from the Coffin of Annihilation of the Daoist Burning Lamp, emerged the phantoms of the three thousand guests from the Purple Cloud Palace. All the Daoist essence left behind by the fallen guests of the Purple Cloud Palace was buried within the Coffin of Annihilation.

The Coffin of Annihilation trembled violently, channeling even more power of annihilation into it. Under this infusion of power, 2, 633 illusory figures materialized and descended!
