Chapter 686 - 373: Seems Shaken, Taiyan Sunshot Bow!

As he thought of these things, the depths of Taiyan Great True Monarch's pupils revealed an uncontrollable intense killing intent.

"It seems there's no need for me to refuse. Your heart already has the answer."

Qi Chuan looked at the intense killing intent in Taiyan Great True Monarch's eyes and spoke with a slight smile.

"Qi Chuan, honestly, if I had known in advance that you were also a Nine Inches Great True Monarch, I wouldn't have felt any killing intent towards you."

"If there were a chance for reconciliation between us, I would have been willing to let go of past grievances with you."

"Unfortunately, I know we don't have that chance, so I must fight with all my might."

With eyes fixed on Qi Chuan, Taiyan Great True Monarch spoke.

"To put it bluntly, you're just afraid of death, right?"

Qi Chuan spoke with a sharp tongue, showing no courtesy.

Such disrespectful words caused Taiyan Great True Monarch to hesitate for a moment. However, he then laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "You're right. I'm afraid of death. At our level of cultivation, who can claim not to fear death? We Nine Inches Great True Monarchs have put in years of effort to reach this stage. We..."

As Taiyan Great True Monarch spoke, his gaze returned to Qi Chuan, and he suddenly paused: "Forget it..."

"Today, we'll settle this with our hands. Either you die, or I perish..."

"Fine!"

Qi Chuan readily accepted the fight: "But let me clarify one thing, it's you who will die; I won't perish..."

Taiyan Great True Monarch's face darkened.

He suddenly formed a seal with his hands.

In his Dantian, the Nascent Soul, which was sitting cross-legged, rose tall, its eyes suddenly opened, showing a sense of focus and determination, and within its body, the Nascent Soul energy was operating at full capacity.

Boom!

A terrifying True Monarch Spiritual Pressure emanated from Taiyan Great True Monarch's body, even stronger than before, oppressing Qi Chuan.

This time, Qi Chuan saw it clearly.

"It's between Nine Inches One to Nine Inches Two, and... almost at Nine Inches Two..."

Qi Chuan thought to himself silently.

He fully realized the height of this Taiyan Great True Monarch's Nascent Soul.

It's slightly more advanced than mine.

Admittedly, this is indeed a very profound cultivation. This Taiyan Great True Monarch surely has the arrogance to back it up.

However, even in the face of such Spiritual Pressure, Qi Chuan remained unaffected; though not like a gentle breeze, he could still regard it casually.

"Flame Wheel Spirit King Disk!"

Taiyan Great True Monarch added his fully released Nascent Soul essence onto the Flame Wheel Spirit King Disk in the void in front of him, attempting to crush Qi Chuan's Water-Suppressing Profound Seal.

He tried to use his deeper cultivation to overpower his opponent.

However, even after he did so, the opposite Qi Chuan still had a slight smile on his face, and the Water-Suppressing Profound Seal in the void showed no signs of retreat.

"How is this possible?"

Witnessing this, Taiyan Great True Monarch felt his heart sinking.

Involuntarily, he immediately resorted to other backup methods.

"Illusory Sun Enchanting Divine Light!"

He formed a seal immediately, and between his hands, a burst of brilliant light like a great sun erupted. This light carried a strong sense of bewildering Divine Souls, capable of catching someone off guard, blinding their sight, and eluding their Divine Sense.

Upon its eruption, it was like a great sun blooming in the void, its dazzling light filling the space, obscuring everything.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Taiyan Great True Monarch opened his mouth, and several Spirit Treasures beams flew out.

"Soul-Shaking Drum!"

One of the Spirit Treasure beams transformed into a palm-sized delicate white leather drum, which flew autonomously into the void and started beating itself immediately.

Soon, sound waves filled with the intent of shaking Divine Souls spread towards Qi Chuan like ripples at extreme speed.

This Soul-Shaking Drum was a Spirit Treasure aimed at Divine Souls, and its power far exceeded the Illusory Sun Enchanting Divine Light.

The primary role of the earlier Illusory Sun Enchanting Divine Light was a surprise attack against Qi Chuan.

The subsequent Soul-Shaking Drum was, in fact, the most crucial secondary control!

Of course, with the addition of the Soul-Shaking Drum, the original Illusory Sun Enchanting Divine Light could also display greater effects, preventing Qi Chuan from avoiding it.

To be honest, against cultivators below the Nine Inches Great True Monarch, he wouldn't have considered deploying such measures.

However, now facing Qi Chuan, who is also a Nine Inches Great True Monarch, even after completing these measures, Taiyan Great True Monarch still did not feel completely secure.

But now he must seize this perfect opportunity to attempt to kill Qi Chuan immediately.

"Taiyan Sun Shooting Bow!"

An exquisitely beautiful spirit bow, gold-plated and akin to being kissed by flames, appeared in Taiyan Great True Monarch's hand.

He barely hesitated and directly grasped this Taiyan Sun Shooting Bow tightly, then drew the bowstring, full like the moon.

Buzz.

A brilliant light arrow seemingly composed of pure sun's flames slowly condensed on the Taiyan Sun Shooting Bow, with its tail placed at the center of the bowstring, firmly held by Taiyan Great True Monarch's fingers, while the extremity sharp arrowhead aimed at Qi Chuan in the void ahead, destined to succeed.

Beads of cold sweat appeared on Taiyan Great True Monarch's forehead.

He could sense that the Nascent Soul energy within the Nascent Soul in his Dantian was quickly being consumed.

Whirr!

When feeling the power and sharpness on the light arrow had reached its peak, Taiyan Great True Monarch's eyes suddenly condensed, and his fingers released the arrow's tail suddenly.

Instantly, a sharp breaking sound filled the air.

Following his focused gaze, a bright light arrow descended like a heavenly sun, meteor-like and brilliant, heading straight for Qi Chuan in the void ahead.

Although the surrounding void still lingered with the Illusory Sun Enchanting Divine Light, as the owner of the Divine Techniques, Taiyan Great True Monarch was naturally unaffected, able to see Qi Chuan clearly.

At this moment, Qi Chuan's expression showed little change, only slight furrowing of the brows, appearing somewhat agitated, seemingly caught in the double control of Illusory Sun Enchanting Divine Light and Soul-Shaking Drum, unable to free himself.

In this state, he clearly couldn't withstand the light arrow shot from Taiyan Sun Shooting Bow.

Even under normal conditions, although Qi Chuan is a Nine Inches Great True Monarch, he might not be able to defend against such a strike, Taiyan Great True Monarch thought.

Therefore, a hint of delight already appeared on Taiyan Great True Monarch's face: "Judging by this, success should be imminent."

He internally anticipated this even more.

However, just as Taiyan Great True Monarch was getting excited and expectant of the imminent results, suddenly a voice resounded in the void ahead.

"Taiyan Daoist, you're lacking martial virtue... attempting to ambush a young cultivator like me."

Qi Chuan's words echoed, causing Taiyan Great True Monarch's heart to tremble.

Hurriedly, he shifted his gaze to Qi Chuan, only to see the latter, at some unknown moment, had freed himself from the dual influence of the Illusory Sun Enchanting Divine Light and Soul-Shaking Drum, now facing him, with a small smile and incredibly deep eyes as if wanting to draw one's gaze into them.

"I forgot to tell you..."

Qi Chuan spoke with a smile: "Actually, my Divine Soul is reaching the Divinity Transformation Level!"

"What?!"

Those words immediately sent Taiyan Great True Monarch's mind into a frenzy!

"Since you lack martial virtue, I must follow suit... Ninefold Soul Torture Technique!" Qi Chuan slowly spoke.

As his words fell, he moved his mind and activated the Divine Soul Secret Technique.

Whoosh!

Instantly, a gray light seemingly mixed with the illusion of thunder emerged from Qi Chuan's forehead, and then with unmatched speed, crossed the void, aiming for Taiyan Great True Monarch's forehead.

It directly struck Taiyan Great True Monarch's forehead, penetrating within!

"Ah..."

For a moment, an intense scream filled with pain echoed throughout the void.
