This is Marshal Zhao's final strike, its power truly astonishing. Meng Zhang, who was fully unleashing the Dao Technique, did not evade and couldn't evade it either. If he dodged this attack and interrupted the ongoing Dao Technique, Marshal Zhao would escape unscathed.
After observing the battle for a while, Meng Zhang had gained some understanding of this Dali Dynasty's Marshal. The earlier attack, whether it was the timing or the utilization of Grand Dao power, gave Meng Zhang great inspiration and benefited him significantly. While frantically absorbing Marshal Zhao's combat experience, Meng Zhang also developed a strong sense of fear towards this formidable opponent. If he couldn't deal with him immediately and let him catch his breath, with his formidable combat skills, he would be an extremely difficult enemy to handle. Furthermore, considering the depth of Dali Dynasty's heritage, who knew what hidden cards or trump cards he still had to unleash.
Therefore, Meng Zhang adopted the same strategy as Marshal Zhao, willing to exchange injuries for victory. Even if he had to risk severe injuries, he must defeat his opponent first and prevent them from fully exerting their abilities.
After Marshal Zhao's strike, it seemed like he had exhausted all his vitality and lost all resistance. Everything about him, from his physical body to his Primordial Spirit, was shattered by the Yin Yang Great Millstone.
An intangible and incorporeal blade energy rushed towards Meng Zhang, but his Rainbow Dawn Glow Robe protected him instinctively. Rainbow-colored clouds appeared to block the blade energy's path, but they were shattered effortlessly. The dense rainbow brilliance quickly dissipated before the blade energy, allowing it to land on his Dao robe.
"Ouch, it hurts so much!" the Tool Spirit Cai'er let out an extremely mournful scream. After the scream, a large crack appeared on the Rainbow Dawn Glow Robe, and Cai'er was forced into dormancy.
The Rainbow Dawn Glow Robe took the brunt of the attack, sparing Meng Zhang's life from immediate danger, but some of the killing power broke through and invaded his body. Meng Zhang coughed up blood and felt his vitality diminishing rapidly.
Thankfully, at this moment, Marshal Zhao had already been obliterated, and his soul and body no longer existed under the Yin Yang Great Millstone. This gave Meng Zhang the opportunity to deal with the invading killing power within him.
The Slaughter Grand Dao was one of the most powerful in terms of lethality among the three thousand Grand Daos. Given Meng Zhang's foundation and recovery ability, it wouldn't be easy to deal with the invasion of the Grand Dao power in a short time.
After quite some time, Meng Zhang barely stabilized his injuries. He could move but couldn't engage in overly intense combat.
Marshal Zhao's entire body and everything on him were shattered within the Yin Yang Great Millstone, turning into primal Yin and Yang streams. Meng Zhang was skilled in extracting essence from the bones, and even in this situation, he could extract spoils of war.
The Natal Magic Tool, Yin Yang Spirit Gourd, flew out from his embrace and arrived at the spot where Marshal Zhao perished. The gourd emitted a tremendous attraction force, pulling all the Yin and Yang streams into its mouth.
Due to Meng Zhang's injuries, the Yin Yang Great Millstone Dao Technique ended prematurely, and it didn't completely wear down Marshal Zhao. Thus, the Yin and Yang streams extracted were not as pure as they could have been.
Yin Yang Spirit Gourd needs to spend quite a bit of time absorbing and refining all the Yin and Yang energies. Nearby, the battle between Xu Mengying and True Monarch Mountain Peak has intensified. True Monarch Mountain Peak's cultivation base is indeed slightly stronger than Xu Mengying's, and their combat experience is more extensive. However, the Yellow Lotus Sect's Main Altar has always taken precautions against its local branches. The inheritances of these local branches' techniques are not complete, and after separating from the Main Altar, they need to collect techniques to compensate for the deficiencies. True Monarch Mountain Peak's brilliance might not have led to the achievement of Primordial Spirit without the guidance of True Monarch Tian Zhu in the past.
During the battle, Xu Mengying's techniques seemed to have a hidden advantage over True Monarch Mountain Peak. This lack of confidence from the Yellow Lotus Sect's Main Altar in their local branches is the reason why these branches seek independence whenever they have the opportunity.
Furthermore, True Monarch Mountain Peak lacks a Fourth Rank magic tool, which puts them at a disadvantage. The Yellow Lotus Sect's various branches, including the Mountain Branch from which True Monarch Mountain Peak originates, have never produced a Primordial Spirit True Monarch before, so naturally, they haven't inherited any Fourth Rank magic tools.
Despite the battle lasting for a while, Xu Mengying's surprise attack and overall advantage only gave her a slight upper hand. She was far from completely defeating True Monarch Mountain Peak. Meng Zhang couldn't directly intervene in the fight, but he could influence it from the sidelines.
After absorbing the Yin and Yang energies, the Yin Yang Spirit Gourd released black and white mixed streams of Qi. These streams transformed into nine Yin Yang Dao Soldiers dressed in black and white Dao robes. Meng Zhang had expended precious spiritual materials to nurture these nine Gold Core-level Yin Yang Dao Soldiers.
He commanded the nine Yin Yang Dao Soldiers to fly to another area nearby and arranged a Yin-Yang Two Qis Formation. When the formation was set, the nine Yin Yang Dao Soldiers simultaneously activated it. Two streams of black and white Qi emerged from the formation and hovered in the air, agilely rushing towards True Monarch Mountain Peak, resembling living creatures with their flexible movements.
These seemingly unremarkable streams of black and white Qi carried terrifying power within them. Despite True Monarch Mountain Peak's combat experience, he wouldn't allow the Qi to get close. He summoned earth walls to block the advancing Qi. However, the Qi quickly eroded the walls and continued its assault on True Monarch Mountain Peak. Though weakened, the Qi still posed a threat to him.
With this powerful move from Meng Zhang, Xu Mengying seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack. The nine Gold Core-level Yin Yang Dao Soldiers, empowered by the formation, could barely unleash the attacking power of an early Primordial Spirit. Although they had almost reached the early Primordial Spirit level in terms of killing ability, there was still a considerable gap in other aspects. With this formidable assistance, Xu Mengying not only gained the upper hand but also managed to suppress True Monarch Mountain Peak, preventing him from escaping easily.
