"I have to admit, you are indeed very strong. Given time, you will surely grow to a level that even I will have to look up to."
"However, on the Cloud Sky Continent, there is no shortage of geniuses with exceptional talent. Countless geniuses have fallen on the path of martial arts cultivation, ultimately becoming stepping stones for others. There are countless examples of this, and I think you are no exception."
While Yan Zun appeared to be instructing the younger generation, from both sides' perspectives, Yan Zun's intention was clearly to nip a genius like Zhang Yun in the bud.
Liangcheng will become Zhang Yun's burial place.
No one would question Yan Zun's words, simply because he inherently possessed such strength.
As soon as he finished speaking, the raging flames of the Great Sun and the Universe suddenly erupted again. Behind him, a dazzling sun slowly rose, containing the ultimate power of its violent and domineering nature, shining even brighter in the void.
It was as if anything that came near Yan Zun would be completely burned, leaving no trace.
Under the bright sunlight, Yan Zun's body moved. The power of the sun soared into the sky with overwhelming force and unparalleled momentum. His fist was like a blazing sun, ready to burn Zhang Yun to ashes.
"Shatter the Ice Freeze!"
Zhang Yun shouted, and a layer of hard frost instantly covered his arm, spreading out into the void. It was also an explosion of multiple martial wills, the power of which was unknown. If it were an ordinary Star Realm expert, he probably wouldn't dare to take it head-on.
At the same time, Zhang Yun's figure suddenly appeared in a golden armor that covered his entire body, providing impeccable defense. However, the domineering and incomparably powerful force of the sun still broke through the golden armor's defense and shattered after a short while.
With a piercing sound of armor shattering, that power surged into his body once more, instantly sending him flying dozens of feet away.
This time, Yan Zun no longer underestimated Zhang Yun and got serious, causing Zhang Yun's flying figure to spit out a mouthful of blood in the void, feeling as if his body was about to be shattered.
The domineering and tyrannical power of the Great Sun and the Universe completely ignored his physical defenses and rushed into his body, causing his internal organs to be destroyed. Zhang Yun's expression immediately turned pale, and his face looked terrible.
Yan Zun truly deserves to be called a Venerable One in a power like the Holy Gate.
Zhang Yun had to admit that Yan Zun was very strong, extremely strong. He was the strongest opponent he had ever faced so far, and a true confrontation would be very troublesome.
Yan Zun's raw strength is undeniable. In a direct confrontation, Zhang Yun's chances of winning are indeed very small. After all, his true cultivation level is only at the eighth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm. Even with the combined attributes of tens of thousands of people, the gap between the Heavenly Gang Realm and the mid-stage of the Star Phenomenon Realm is difficult to bridge.
Therefore, Zhang Yun could only rely on surprise tactics, just as he had used against Han Shuangxue.
His ability to defeat Han Shuangxue was due not only to the power of Guanyin Lei, but also to an element of luck. If Han Shuangxue hadn't been careless and hadn't been unfamiliar with Guanyin Lei's techniques, it would have been extremely difficult to seriously injure a Star Realm expert.
Since Guanyin Tears has already been used once, Zhang Xiaotian will definitely warn him to be on guard. Therefore, the chances of Guanyin Tears being used again are not high. He can only choose other powerful hidden weapons to surprise the enemy.
"Zhang Yun, I promise you a proper burial after you die. Rest in peace."
The Flame God's eyes flashed with sharp light. Then, with a wave of his hand, the flames in the sky gathered in his honor. At this moment, the Flame Lord used heaven and earth as a furnace, and everything within his celestial range seemed to be turned into fuel.
The sky was completely dyed fiery red, dazzlingly bright and soaring into the sky, completely surrounding Zhang Yun. Inside, Zhang Yun was like a grain of sand in the desert, inconspicuous, and could be swallowed up by the sea of fire at any moment. Zhang Yun's figure kept flashing, but he had nowhere to hide and nowhere to avoid.
Just then, a deafening tiger's roar came from the distant horizon, followed by a thunderous force descending from the sky, as if the entire space was trembling.
The sea of fire was instantly shattered by the power of the lightning bolts, followed by the sound of thunder shaking the heavens and the sky flashing with lightning.
Just then, a clear female voice was heard.
"Little Tiger, tear all those who bullied the young master to pieces." (My body contains countless worlds.)

Chapter 315 The Stance Among Monsters
A slender girl in a red dress, with beautiful eyes as clear as autumn water and as dazzling as flames, flew over from the distant horizon riding a powerful monster with nine heads.
Yan Zun was somewhat surprised that humans would attack on a powerful demon beast, catching him completely off guard.
Even Zhang Yun was somewhat surprised that Ye Qianzhi would arrive at this crucial moment.
Ye Qianzhi's playfulness turned out to be a timely help for Zhang Yun; it came at just the right time.
"You actually managed to break my Great Sun Blazing Wind! Who exactly are you?"
Enveloped in raging flames, Yan Zun's gaze was piercing as he coldly shouted. When his eyes fell upon the nine-headed demon beast, his expression changed slightly.
The nine-headed tiger demon beast was very easy to identify, so Yan Zun recognized at a glance that the powerful demon beast was the Nine-Headed Purple-Gold Winged Tiger!
The Nine-Headed Purple-Gold Winged Tiger's cultivation level was comparable to his, and even someone like Yan Zun considered it a very troublesome and difficult opponent.
"As a demon beast, why are you running into the human world instead of staying in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range? Don't forget the contract between demon beasts and humans many years ago!"
Yan Zun said coldly, attempting to repel the Nine-Headed Purple-Gold Winged Tiger by using the agreement between humans and demon beasts. After all, this was an agreement between humans and demon beasts, and if one side broke the agreement, it would most likely lead to a great war between humans and demon beasts.
"It's our mount, is there a problem?"
Zhang Yun spoke coldly. He had heard a little about the contracts between humans and demonic beasts, but if a human tamed a demonic beast and made it his mount, that would be a different story.
"Good, very good." Yan Zun didn't waste any more words. Since that's the case, why not have a battle?
As the nine-headed purple-gold winged tiger roared once more, an even stronger and more domineering thunderous power erupted in the void. Thunderclouds rolled across the sky, emitting a piercing "hissing" sound, just like heavenly thunder. The powerful demonic aura of the mid-stage Star Realm permeated the void, its power capable of shaking the heavens, covering half of the sky, and standing shoulder to shoulder with the Flame Venerable's raging sea of fire.
Attack on Titan!
With a cold shout, Yan Zun thrust his fiery fist forward. Immediately afterward, the endless sea of fire surrounding him rapidly condensed together in the void, eventually forming a single entity. In the sky, a fire giant, over twenty feet tall, wielding a sharp sword, appeared, its body writhing in flames, incredibly violent.
"boom!"
A terrifying demonic aura erupted from the nine-headed purple-gold winged tiger, and terrifying lightning power instantly dispelled the power of the flames. Its body seemed clumsy, but in a flash it was like a gust of wind, directly charging towards the fire giant.
The fire giant wielded a giant flaming sword in both hands, the might of the blazing sun gathering, and the power of the flames erupting in a torrent, as if every inch of the flame contained terrifying power.
The flaming giant sword descended from the sky, generating scorching hot winds wherever it passed. It swept across the land with overwhelming force, as if it wanted to cleave the sky in two. The deafening roar seemed capable of shattering people's eardrums.
In an instant, two incomparably terrifying forces collided in the void, ultimately canceling each other out and dissipating.
