Facing six Seventh Rank early-stage cultivators simultaneously, the pressure on Wu Liang increased significantly.
However, this pressure wasn't enough to break him.
These people had some strength, but that was all.
The Devouring Domain erupted with a deafening roar, its power instantly permeating every corner of the fighting arena.
The overwhelming devouring force began relentlessly tearing apart everything within the domain, with only Wu Liang escaping unscathed.
The three opponents simultaneously launched their attacks, unleashing a torrent of Martial Will.
Zhao Yunxiao's palm strikes and fist techniques complemented the Six-Armed White Ape's attacks perfectly, each punch producing a sonic boom and carrying a pressure as heavy as a mountain.
A powerful fist descended upon Wu Liang, feeling like a colossal boulder.
Wu Liang raised a claw, his attributes surging rapidly under the activation of his 'Greed' skill, allowing him to withstand the punch with sheer physical strength.
He followed with another claw strike, sending the Six-Armed White Ape flying backward.
Everyone gasped, their faces filled with shock.
"My god, Taotie has gotten even stronger! Now, even without activating its bloodline divine skill, it can fight against a Seventh Rank early-stage expert, and I haven't even seen its Invincible Will yet!"
"How did Sister Ling do that? I feel like she's cheating. Cheating experts are all like that, but why doesn't she use cheats on herself?"
Zhao Yunxiao glanced at the burn marks on his fist, utterly astonished.
He turned to look at Wang Tao and Li Yan.
"Be careful, everyone. The flames on Taotie's body are extraordinary; they can injure the physical body of a Seventh Rank martial artist, and its physical strength is extremely powerful!"
Wang Tao nodded calmly. "I'll have Northern Swamp Black Turtle handle the defense; you three focus on the attack. With the three of us working together, there's no way we can't take him down!"
Northern Swamp Black Turtle was a descendant of the Black Tortoise. While its defensive capabilities weren't as strong, they were still among the best.
Furthermore, given its Seventh Rank status, even with Wu Liang's strong physical body, it was impossible for him to break through its defenses.
The next moment, the Black Turtle charged forward, its hard shell slamming into Wu Liang.
But Wu Liang flapped his phoenix wings, easily dodging the attack.
Countless azure flames plummeted from the sky, hurtling towards Wu Liang, the terrifying heat distorting the air.
But that wasn't all. Li Yan's body burst into flames, and a fiery spearhead shot forth from the spear in his hand.
The combined power of these two forces was formidable.
Conversely, Wu Liang's 'Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire' suddenly transformed into a sea of flames, with countless crimson lotus phantoms sprouting from the ground.
Karmic fire, the powerful flames burning in hell, how could those mere azure flames compare?!
The azure flames in the sky vanished into nothingness at a visible speed without causing a single scratch, which made Li Yan's pupils shrink in shock.
This was too abnormal!
Alongside its formidable physical strength, it also possessed unprecedentedly powerful flames.
Was this really a Fifth Rank magical beast?!
Wu Liang slammed his claw into the back of the Black Turtle, producing a dull thud, and both were forced back.
"Tsk tsk, this shell is indeed quite hard!"
This strike represented the pinnacle of his physical strength, yet it couldn't break through the Northern Swamp Black Turtle's defenses. Clearly, the turtle's defensive limits were far greater than this.
Even the 'Ink Annihilation Dragon Strike' could only scratch its defenses; it couldn’t inflict serious injury unless it struck a vital spot.
But unfortunately, the Northern Swamp Black Turtle kept its head constantly retracted into its shell, giving him no opportunity whatsoever.
Seeing this, Wang Tao's face lit up with joy.
"Just as I expected, the Taotie's level is too low. No matter how strong its physical body is, it can't break through the Northern Swamp Black Turtle's defense. All of you attack together! The Northern Swamp Black Turtle will defend with all its might!"
As long as they could block his attack with their combined efforts, Wu Liang could only retreat step by step, ultimately unable to escape defeat.
Looking at the figures charging towards him, Wu Liang smiled coldly.
Aren't you underestimating me?!
Boom!
The three great wills of Devouring, Slaughter, and Invincibility erupted with a deafening roar, causing the other wills on the field to retreat.
Wang Tao's newly comprehended Water Will was directly crushed into fragments, and even his long-comprehended Earth Will was greatly suppressed.
The heavy punch landed, but its power was significantly weaker than before.
"This is the Invincible Will! It's amazing that it can have such power so soon after it was comprehended!" Wang Tao gritted his teeth.
Wu Liang, shrouded in golden light, suddenly flew out, delivering a powerful palm strike that sent the Azure Flame Phoenix flying. The streak of fire rushing towards him was instantly incinerated by the karmic flames.
Wu Liang continued his relentless attack. The Black Turtle tried to shield the phoenix, but its speed was far inferior to Wu Liang's.
Being repeatedly knocked away, the Azure Flame Phoenix was practically fuming.
Why was it being targeted so relentlessly out of six opponents?
Couldn't it find another target?
A dark dragon shadow soared out, sending the retreating Azure Flame Phoenix flying backward, his head stained with blood.
The series of attacks had crippled him. 'Ink Annihilation Dragon Strike' ignored defense, and Wu Liang, now at the Fifth Rank, had the powerful 'Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire' at his disposal.
Even the more resilient Six-Armed White Ape would have been severely injured.
Li Yan's face darkened. His magical beast had been defeated instantly, without even a chance to unleash its bloodline divine skill.
Furthermore, the 'Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire' exerted too much pressure on the Azure Flame Phoenix; even activating its bloodline divine skill would likely be futile.
"Damn it, this is outrageous! All of you, attack together! That damned monkey is just hiding in the back watching the show!" Li Yan cursed angrily.
The Six-Armed White Ape roared at him, expressing its dissatisfaction.
It couldn't fly, and Wu Liang had just been fighting the Azure Flame Phoenix in the sky. What could it do besides watch?
And it got yelled at for that?!
If you keep yelling, I'll hit you!
Zhao Yunxiao frowned. "Don't rush. The phoenix's flames can't harm Taotie, so they won't be very effective. Black Turtle and Six-Armed White Ape, you two unleash your bloodline divine skills! Let's gang up on him!"
If they let Wu Liang pick them off one by one, they might actually lose today.
This was six against one, not a one-on-one fight; losing would be extremely embarrassing...
The Northern Swamp Black Turtle roared, and a mist of water spread around it. Even though much of it was absorbed by the Devouring Domain, it still created a watery zone!
The greatest effect of the watery zone was its restriction and obstruction of vision!
Wu Liang found himself enveloped in a spherical watery zone, unable to fly out of its range. Within such a small area, he was facing an attack from three people and two beasts; the difficulty was considerable.
Meanwhile, the Six-Armed White Ape pounded its chest violently, sending out waves of energy ripples.
Its body began to grow larger, and a suit of energy armor appeared on its body—this was... the Six-Armed Divine Ape form!
Six fist-shaped beams of light were unleashed simultaneously, their terrifying power several times greater than before.
The 'Spatial Lock' chains dropped, binding the Six-Armed White Ape tightly and causing its fist-shaped beams to miss their mark.
Although it was quickly freed, it was enough for Wu Liang to launch an attack.
A ball of karmic fire mixed with his physical power erupted and slapped the Six-Armed White Ape away, sending it crashing into the barrier of the watery zone.
But the white ape showed no intention of backing down— it got up and continued to attack, its eyes blazing with ferocity.
Wu Liang grinned.
"Since you've all activated your bloodline divine techniques, I'll activate mine too. Let's see whose bloodline divine technique is stronger!"
