Most Immortals are at the Vientiane Body, with some reaching the Tianhao Body. Those who achieve the Tianhao Body are already exceptional among Immortals in terms of physical cultivation.
As for the Nirvana Body, fewer than twenty in the entire Heavenly God Palace have attained it!
In the eyes of the Xiaoyao Tower master, if Lin Yun has already reached the Nirvana Body, that would be truly terrifying!
Emperor Xingwu, seated opposite, saw this scene and his smile froze, his heart surging with shock.
He knew full well what it meant for Lin Yun to withstand such an attack so effortlessly with his body…
On the stage.
“You… you…” Cao Jun stared at Lin Yun, his face full of shock.
That attack, though not his full strength, was something even an opponent of the same realm wouldn’t dare to take head-on with their body, right?
When an attack is launched, if the opponent counters with an attack, most of the force is offset, leaving the body to absorb only the remainder.
Take Bing Yi, for example, with only a Pure Yang Body. He wouldn’t dare withstand such an attack with his body and would have to counter with an attack to resist.
Thus, Lin Yun’s ability to endure this attack with his body alone sent a profound shock through Cao Jun!
“What level is your physical cultivation at?” Cao Jun couldn’t help but demand.
“Guess,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
Then, his tone shifted, “But I bet you can’t guess, Cao Jun. If you want to defeat me in three moves, you’d better show your true skills. That kind of attack is just a tickle to me.”
Before Lin Yun had overcome the Soul-Breaking Poison, Cao Jun’s earlier attack would have been fatal.
Now, it was negligible.
“Fine, I’ll let you experience the true power of the Third Eternal Realm!”
With that, Cao Jun raised his war blade.
A surge of formidable internal energy erupted, condensing on the blade!
Earlier, Cao Jun had thought that against a First Eternal Realm opponent like Lin Yun, such an attack would suffice to win.
Now, it was clear he had to use his real abilities.
“Here I come!”
“Ten Directions Annihilation Blade, Frost of the Sixth Month!”
With a fierce shout, Cao Jun’s war blade transformed into a milky-white light, blasting toward Lin Yun with terrifying force and astonishing speed!
His divine sense and other techniques were fully unleashed.
The stage was reinforced with arrays, making the space exceptionally stable, unaffected by the attacks of Immortals.
“As expected of the Third Eternal Realm, such an attack is indeed powerful!” Lin Yun couldn’t help but exclaim.
The quality of an Immortal Realm opponent was truly high.
Their weapons were all Heavenly Dao-grade, and their divine sense and other aspects were rarely lacking.
But Lin Yun wasn’t to be underestimated!
As the war blade struck, Lin Yun instantly drew his treasure sword, thrusting forward to meet it!
Boom!
Just before Cao Jun’s attack could hit Lin Yun’s sword, a Saint Spirit-grade divine sense surged toward Lin Yun!
He aimed to disrupt Lin Yun with a divine sense attack just before the strike landed!
A good plan, but such a divine sense attack was useless against Lin Yun, failing to disturb him in the slightest.
The next moment, their weapons clashed.
Clang!
A piercing metallic sound echoed through the arena, and the formidable force of Cao Jun’s attack surged toward Lin Yun like a tidal wave!
Yet, it had no real effect on Lin Yun, not even forcing him back half a step.
“Cao Jun, that was your second move! You’re down to your last one to fulfill your boast of defeating me in three moves!” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“Lin Yun, you’ve forced my hand!”
Cao Jun gripped his war blade, a powerful aura erupting from his body, enveloping him in dark green light, his formidable presence soaring to the skies!
“Ten Directions Annihilation Blade, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea!”
With all his techniques fully engaged, Cao Jun swung his blade fiercely, splitting into eight blade shadows, each carrying terrifying power, all blasting toward Lin Yun simultaneously!
His divine sense, physical strength, and other abilities were fully unleashed to enhance this move.
He had promised to defeat Lin Yun in three moves, and now, at the final move, he had to go all out!
“The Ten Directions Annihilation Blade is the signature technique of Emperor Xingwu’s lineage. Cao Jun defeated Bing Yi with this eighth form, combined with his physical strength. He’s going all out now!”
“I wonder if Lin Yun can withstand this one.”
The watching Immortals stared intently at the stage, unwilling to miss a single moment.
Emperor Xingwu and Emperor Huoyun couldn’t help but feel a twinge of tension.
On the stage.
The war blade, brimming with terrifying power, split into eight blade shadows, enveloping Lin Yun in an instant!
“Well done!”
Showing no fear, Lin Yun’s treasure sword glowed as he swept it forward to parry!
Buzz!
Cao Jun’s razor-sharp attack erupted in a dazzling, eye-catching display.
The stage was instantly flooded with blinding light, obscuring the view for a moment.
When the light dissipated, the crowd looked closely and saw Lin Yun on the stage, completely unharmed!
Cao Jun had still failed to overcome Lin Yun!
“He’s… he’s still fine!”
“Hiss… this guy’s physical body must have reached the Nirvana Body. Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly withstand this so easily!”
Many Immortals gasped in shock.
“No wonder… no wonder Lin Yun dared to challenge. He has such terrifying defensive power!”
The crowd finally understood what gave Lin Yun the confidence to challenge Cao Jun!
On the stage.
“You… you…” Cao Jun’s eyes widened, his face ashen, as if he’d eaten something foul.
His heart churned with shock.
At first, he thought defeating Lin Yun would be easy.
Against a First Eternal Realm opponent, he hadn’t even planned to go all out initially.
But now, even with his full power unleashed, he couldn’t touch Lin Yun. Lin Yun’s formidable defense left him utterly stunned.
Cao Jun knew clearly that if even this move couldn’t break Lin Yun, he had no hope of defeating him.
“Senior Cao Jun, three moves have passed. It seems you have no chance of defeating me. Now, isn’t it my turn to strike?” Lin Yun said, the corner of his mouth curling slightly.
Having only defended so far without attacking, Lin Yun’s eerie smile gave Cao Jun a sudden sense of foreboding…
