Battle of Grand Unity Heaven

A hundred thousand years passed, and the situation in Grand Unity Heaven grew ever more tense. Xuantian personally entered the fray, pressuring the Tianling Clan and the Juling Clan.

Xuantian beat the many deities of Grand Unity Heaven into steady retreat. Anyone who refused to submit was killed. Unable to endure it any longer, the Juling Clan prepared to act.

The Juling Clan roared, "Xuantian, what colossal nerve you have! You dare invade Grand Unity Heaven at will—how dare you?!"

Xuantian said calmly, "Grand Unity Heaven is not yours to command, Juling Clan. You even dare openly oppose a Great Divine Power? Let me see exactly how much you're worth!"

The Juling Clan crossed space and arrived before Xuantian.

"Giant Spirit True Body!"

The Juling Clan's figure abruptly grew a hundred zhang tall, standing towering within Grand Unity Heaven.

"Take my punch!" The power of laws gathered around her fist!

A fist as immense as a mountain smashed toward Xuantian, but his expression remained serene and unchanged.

"Divine Ability: Heaven-Slaying Xuan Tian Sword!"

Li Fan and Goddess Wangshu watched the battle. It was his first time seeing someone else use a Sword Dao Divine Ability, and his hands itched with the urge to fight Xuantian himself.

The moment Xuantian unleashed his Sword Dao Divine Ability, heaven and earth changed color. This sword contained supreme might.

Dazzling light burst from the blade as Xuantian's laws slashed toward the Giant Spirit True Body.

The Juling Clan barely managed to block Xuantian's divine ability, but a huge wound had opened across her body. Grand Unity Divine Blood dripped ceaselessly onto the ground.

With only one strike, the Juling Clan was defeated. Xuantian's laws suppressed her Juling Law. Xuantian was at the Grand Unity Eighth Heaven, while the Juling Clan was only at the Grand Unity Triple Heaven. Each step in Grand Unity was another heaven—the gap was simply too vast.

The Tianling Clan, who had been holding the fort within the divine palace, could no longer remain seated. He emerged to stop him, roaring, "Xuantian, don't go too far!"

Xuantian wore a disdainful expression. "Today, I'll go too far for you to see. I'll show you what it means when a fist is the only hard truth. Usually, for the sake of the Heavenly Emperor's prestige, I give you face. But if I refuse to give you face, then in my eyes, you are nothing! Hahaha!"

Xuantian did not waste any more words. With a slash of the "Xuantian Heaven-Slaying Sword," space collapsed layer upon layer wherever its edge pointed, and Xuantian's laws struck toward the Tianling Clan.

Seeing this, the Tianling Clan gave it his all, gathering Tianling Law to withstand Xuantian's Sword Dao. Xuantian's Sword Dao surged toward him, carrying a heaven-shaking phenomenon.

"Tianling Defense!"

Tianling Law transformed into eight mirrors that circled the Tianling Clan, forming a defensive barrier of laws. When Xuantian's sharp Sword Dao touched the Tianling Law, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, dissolving completely into nothingness.

This piqued Xuantian's interest. Then let's try another move.

"Xuan Tian Dharma Image!"

Xuantian flashed through the void and swiftly arrived before the Tianling Clan. His Dharma Body struck relentlessly against the Tianling Law.

The Tianling Clan was completely unable to retaliate. Their realms were not on the same level at all. He had already exhausted every ounce of strength to maintain his current defense, and he was about to collapse.

The dull boom of fists and palms colliding shook the ground apart, while the Sea of Clouds surged wildly. The space beneath their feet had already shattered.

Seizing a fleeting opening, Xuantian wounded the Tianling Clan. Seeing this, the Juling Clan rejoined the battle.

The Tianling Clan and the Juling Clan worked together seamlessly, one attacking and one defending, blocking Xuantian's Dharma Image assaults.

Seeing this, Xuantian hardened his heart. Then don't blame me. He fully activated the power of Xuantian's laws, crushing them with the law power of the Grand Unity Eighth Heaven.

The Primordial Spirit Power of the Tianling Clan and the Juling Clan was being consumed at an enormous rate. If this continued, defeat was their only path. The two prepared to retreat to the divine palace and activate the contingency left behind by Heavenly Emperor Cangli.

Xuantian would no longer give the two Grand Unity cultivators any chance. The longer the night, the more dreams it brought. The power of laws slashed relentlessly toward the Tianling Clan and the Juling Clan.

The Tianling Clan and the Juling Clan split apart and fled toward the divine palace. Seeing this, Xuantian could only deal with the weaker Juling Clan first.

The Juling Clan was not skilled in spatial escape, and Xuantian soon caught up to her. Gritting her teeth, she sent her Grand Unity Dao Fruit into the River of Time!

The River of Time flowed without end. Even Grand Unity cultivators could not traverse it at will and alter the past or future.

In Later Generations, there would be the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, who at present lay downstream in the River of Time.

If one wished to kill the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, Hunyuan Grand Unity could reverse cause and effect, drawing upon the River of Time and enduring its Space-Time backlash to descend upon the timeline of the past!

But the price of traveling upstream against time was too great—far too great!

The River of Time held too many secrets; its waters ran too deep. The Time Demon God was suppressed in the deepest reaches of the River of Time, and no one knew what methods the Chaos Demon Gods possessed.

A Grand Unity Dao Fruit entering the River of Time alone risked becoming lost. Even if it returned, no one knew when that would be.

The Juling Clan and Xuantian entered the River of Time to battle. Their clash sent spray flying from the River of Time, and with every minute and every second, weak living beings had their fates changed because of this battle.

Some deities who should have soared all the way like favored children of heaven now found time altered and fate shifted. At some moment, before they had yet matured, they were found and erased by their enemies!

The karma created by Xuantian and the Juling Clan continuously entwined around their Grand Unity Dao Fruits.

At last, faced with the assault of Xuantian's Grand Unity Dao Fruit power, the Juling Clan could no longer endure.

Xuantian seized the opening and struck with all his strength, using the power of his Grand Unity Dao Fruit to blast the Juling Clan's Grand Unity Dao Fruit into the River of Time.

The Space-Time Law power, water yet not water, locked onto the Juling Clan's Grand Unity Dao Fruit. Interwoven karma caused her to lose herself within the River of Time!

Li Fan sucked in a cold breath. The River of Time was far too dangerous. No one knew what catastrophe changing the future might bring.

Unless there was absolutely no alternative, a Grand Unity Dao Fruit should not enter the River of Time to fight. Pangu stood at the end of time—"Axe Rectifies All." Did you also wish to taste Pangu's Sky-Opening Axe Light?

Li Fan sighed over the internal strife within the Heavenly Emperor Faction. What a pity for the Juling Clan. If she had possessed a Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure for protection, perhaps she would not have become lost in the River of Time!

Xuantian's purpose would soon be revealed. Was he plotting to seize power and usurp the throne, or did he seek an even greater voice?

Xuantian knew he had suffered a tremendous loss in this battle. Although he had achieved his aim, the karma from stirring the River of Time had already begun to settle upon him, and his fortune was declining.

The Dao of karma was mysterious and unfathomable. There were countless ways to understand karma, yet it was like a tangled ball of thread—impossible to cut, and only growing messier the more one tried to unravel it.

Xuan Tian returned to the Immortal Dao faction's camp within Grand Unity Heaven, where he rested and recovered his condition.

Ever since Xuan Tian had personally entered the fray, the gods of Grand Unity Heaven no longer dared obstruct the spread of the Immortal Dao. The Immortal Dao blossomed everywhere throughout Grand Unity Heaven.

Within the divine palace, Tianling Clan learned that Juling Clan's Grand Unity Dao Fruit had been lost in the River of Time, and grief filled his heart.

"I will avenge you, Juling Clan! I will make Xuan Tian pay the price. I hate this!" Tianling Clan and Juling Clan had been close friends.

Within Xuan Tian's territory in Grand Unity Heaven, Xuan Tian invited Cang Tian, Qing Tian, and Huang Tian, who had arrived in secret, inside.

Xuan Tian's expression was grave. "Fellow Daoists, if we can secure our trump card against Heavenly Emperor Cangli, then Tianling Clan, who is only at the Grand Unity Fifth Heaven realm, is nothing to fear."

Cang Tian spoke slowly. "Grand Unity Heaven possesses an enormous amount of Pure Qi Origin of Heaven. Unless Cangli comes personally, the three of us have a ninety percent chance of success!"

Qing Tian continued, "The three of us were transformed from the Pure Qi Origin of Heaven. We can stir the origin of Grand Unity Heaven and turn it into our home ground."

Huang Tian smiled faintly. "We are merely taking back what belongs to us."

The four Grand Unity Supremes reached an agreement: they would make their move ten thousand years later!
