Ten Suns Across the Sky
Today, the night is as dark as day.
On the plateau, multiple Great Sun blaze across the sky, illuminating all directions. The fine textures of tree branches, the vibrant green luster of tender buds, and the tiny antennae of flying insects are all clearly visible, making the whole world incredibly vivid.
On the New Life Path and the Immortal Path, many Ancestor appeared and arrived on the plateau, while the externally played CD players scattered the night mist.
The atmosphere was unusually tense; was a fierce conflict about to erupt between the two roads?
If the Ancestor were to duel, it would surely be an earth-shattering event!
Without a doubt, if a conflict were to break out between the two sides, it would be the most serious incident in many years.
Many people were shaken, their scalps tingling with fear—was this the beginning of a major upheaval?
"The people from New Life Path are indeed causing trouble!" said a renowned figure from the Beyond the Mundane, his expression more solemn than ever before.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of some of the experts on the Immortal Path changed. Was a fierce battle about to unfold?
Because they sensed that the Ancestor of the New Life Path was truly going to make a big move this time, and was not just bluffing.
"Don't you know who started this trouble first?" Yu Gensheng replied coldly.
Many people nodded in agreement, realizing that Pu Heng and his ilk harbored deep malice and had deliberately provoked trouble at New Life Path.
"Hehe..." High in the sky, Cao Qianqiu sneered. He exuded a terrifying aura, immortal runes flashed, and crimson clouds enveloped him, dyeing the sky red.
Despite the perilous situation, he remained assertive, raising his rusty spear with an air of domineering arrogance.
"Is your mouth crooked? Why are you laughing like that?" The Sky Bearing Ancestor spoke, standing in the blinding light, like a giant Heaven-Opening.
The older generation knows that he always preferred to use force to break the law, and was quite rough and fierce.
Many of the younger generation were seeing the giant man on the screen for the first time and were completely stunned.
Is this Ancestor of New Life Path really so down-to-earth in his speech?
As Cao Qianqiu's eyes opened and closed, lightning flashed out, incredibly frightening. He gripped the spear he had obtained from Black White Mountain tightly, ready to attack.
At this moment, everyone was deeply shocked, gazing at the several "suns" rising above the vast grassland.
They were having trouble breathing, their legs were weak, and they almost collapsed to the ground.
This is only because Grandmaster Level figure has restrained their aura.
Immediately, everyone snapped out of their daze and quickly retreated.
Once someone of that caliber makes a move, the thick clouds above will explode, and the vast land below will turn into scorched earth, causing everything in the entire region to wither and die.
Fortunately, this is on a plateau outside the Third Forbidden Land, far from densely populated Giant City, making it the perfect place for those at the top of the pyramid to clash.
In a brief moment, it seemed as if large groups of people were migrating rapidly away from the edge of the plateau.
Under that vast sky, with Heavenly Light shining everywhere and spear beams shooting out, there was no doubt that the Grandmaster Level figures had once clashed.
The dark clouds burst open, and the ground shook violently, as if it were about to completely sink.
Many people are terrified; how many years has it been since they've witnessed such a major confrontation between leaders from different factions?
Today, we're really going to see a clash Grandmaster Level figures.
In fact, people know that these giants at this level may have secret battles and clashes in private, but they generally don't do so publicly.
Multiple Ancestor clashed in front of the world in a chaotic and undisguised battle, and the conflict between the two paths erupted—a once-in-a-lifetime event in many years.
"Everyone, please calm down. A war of this magnitude would have a huge impact and far-reaching consequences. We must not start a war lightly," Sun Taichu said.
He stood beside Cao Qianqiu. Although they had slammed their fists on the table before, it Say More if a conflict broke out, since they both came from the Pure Land.
"Yes, so many years have passed peacefully, why start a war today?" A black-haired man walked over, his feet shrouded in Immortal Light that filled the clouds. He arrived above the plateau in an instant from the horizon.
His name is Zhao Wenhan, a Grandmaster Level figure from the Beyond-Mundane Immortal Land. Although his hair is black and shiny, the vicissitudes in his eyes and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes still show that he is not young.
After he arrived, he stood on the other side of Cao Qianqiu.
"You mean, after targeting the New Life Path, you still expect us to remain calm and maintain the status quo?" Lu Yu stood in the void, the Scorching Sun covering him, radiating boundless Heavenly Light that tore through the deep night.
His words were calm, but a terrifying killing intent was already surging like a vast ocean, violently expanding forward.
"Having been out of the world for so long, some people think we are just enduring things and that we need to get used to it. Are the people on the Immortal Path seriously ill? We need to cure them today!" The Sky Bearing Ancestor stood in the dazzling light screen, his majestic figure as tall as a mountain.
Then, a Great Sun followed, arriving with Lu Yu and Sky Bearing Ancestor, shining brightly in all directions.
"At worst, it's just a battle!" A short-haired old man could be seen in the Great Sun, holding Prayer Beads, speaking calmly.
Although his entire body exuded Zen-like energy, there was now a terrifying Heavenly Light Force surging within him, like thunder encircling his body.
The Present Tathagata arrived, uttering few words, but his aura and the Heavenly Light of the sky pressed down so heavily that the plateau trembled slightly—it was utterly terrifying.
The New Life Path and the Immortal Path were fraught with tension, with three Grandmaster Level experts facing off against each other. The atmosphere was so tense that it shook the entire night sky, as if the world was about to collapse.
Compared to the past, Cao Qianqiu has become remarkably restrained.
After all, there were only two of them on their side, fewer than the other side, so he was naturally extremely cautious about engaging in such a high-level battle.
But now that Zhao Wenhan has arrived, the numbers are even.
"You old codgers, you really can hold on!" Cao Qianqiu said coldly. He had spent his whole life kicking a hornet's nest and didn't mind fighting a bloody battle here.
He could clearly sense the waning aura emanating from the three Ancestor opposite him, and felt that today might be an opportunity to fully "weigh" the New Life Path!
Because he remembered the secret report he received from the Immortal Path: the Ancestor of the New Life Path was failing and in a very bad situation.
Sun Taichu and Zhao Wenhan both frowned, knowing that Lao Cao was eager to take action, but as they said, the consequences of a confrontation would be far too great.
In particular, the Esoteric Sect Buddhists were present but did not go into the water.
The Ancestor of New Life Path had very different personalities; some were peaceful, some were silent, and some were extremely fiery.
"Cao Qianqiu, you little brat!" No one expected that the Sky Bearing Ancestor would say such a thing.
He had an even bigger temper than Cao Qianqiu, and was incredibly fierce and intolerant of any injustice.
In the distance, everyone was dumbfounded. Lao Cao was also a figure in the Ancestor Realm, yet he was addressed like this?
With Sky-Pillar long, flowing hair and eyes that seemed to pierce the void like lightning, he said, "You brat, you deserve a beating! Even your master has been slapped by me, what are you so arrogant about in front of us? The difference between you and your master is only two slaps!"
Silence fell over all sides; everyone was stunned. Was this Ancestor about to drop a bombshell? He really dares to say anything!
Everyone knows that Sky-Pillar, Lu Yu, and others have extremely long lifespans, but few know that the events they experienced in their early years contained such "big revelations."
Cao Qianqiu's eyes were icy cold. He had surpassed his master, becoming even more powerful, and his killing intent surged.
Without a doubt, the two sides could clash at any moment!
"How are you feeling? How are they doing?" Zhao Wenhan secretly transmitted his voice.
"It's a bit complicated," Sun Taichu responded.
The two carefully sensed and seriously evaluated the situation using their Pure Yang Consciousness.
In the Night Mist World, it has been rumored for years that the Ancestor the New Life Path is currently prolonging his life and should not make a move. It seems he is too weak to fight because his lifespan is insufficient. If he were to unleash his power, it would accelerate his decay, and he might not even be able to sustain a complete battle.
However, the arrival of the three Ancestor together surprised everyone.
The best deterrent for such a person is for them not to take action, but once their lifespan is exhausted, their New Life Path will be cut off.
It can be said that the consequences would be extremely serious, and the New Life Path would be difficult to bear.
At that moment, Sun Taichu transmitted his voice to a prominent figure in the Esoteric Sect.
In an instant, an old man, his body formed from Divine Wisdom, radiating brilliant light, shot straight into the sky and arrived before us.
"Gentlemen..." He was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth.
Ancestor Lu Yu secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "Your Esoteric Sect shouldn't interfere. You should go check on your peerless expert; he might be dug out of the Fourth Forbidden Land by some of the oldest monsters on the Immortal Path."
In an instant, the important figure in the Esoteric Sect fell silent, his eyes unfathomable. Was his backyard about to be set on fire?
Regardless of whether the news is true or not, he has to have it investigated!
Although the person who single-handedly carved through the Fourth Forbidden Land should not be a cause for concern, there are still some things that must be guarded against.
At the very least, he noticed that the number of Ancestor on the Immortal Path didn't match up; some had disappeared from the plateau.
"You little brat, I'm going to beat you to a pulp today!" The Sky Bearing Ancestor stepped forward, about to make his move, unleashing a terrifying Heavenly Light Force that caused all the clouds in the distant sky to collide violently.
Outside the plateau, people were both shocked and felt a sense of strangeness.
Cao Qianqiu was such a terrifying figure, rarely encountering an opponent in his life, incomparably powerful, and with blood on his hands, yet he was called "little brat" by the Ancestor of New Life Path. This was truly refreshing and unusual.
"Sky-Pillar, Lu Yu, Tathagata, come at me! I will slaughter you until your lifespans are dried up and send you all on your way!"
Cao Qianqiu's domineering nature had long been an instinct. Today, he was seething with anger, which was about to erupt. He stepped forward, wielding a spear engraved with divine runes.
"Why bother!" A woman flew into the sky, with a full head of black hair, looking to be around thirty years old, with an ageless appearance, surrounded by a rich Immortal Light.
She was exceptionally beautiful and was Ancestor from the Beyond the Mundane Yang Land, named Yu Shaohua.
"Lu Yu, are you alright?" She was actually reminiscing, because she had a good relationship with the Ancestor of the New Life Path and genuinely wanted to prevent the great battle between the two sides.
"It's alright, just a bit mentally unsettled. I want to stretch my muscles a bit," Lu Yu said, and then he set his sights on Cao Qianqiu.
Although he spoke calmly, like the Sky Bearing Ancestor, he desperately wanted to beat Lao Cao to a pulp; his thoughts and actions were undisguised.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, please come this way. I have something to ask you."
At this moment, in the distant night sky, the clear light spread out, as if a Xinghai had appeared. It was some kind of Heavenly Light Force surging and sweeping, covering the entire sky.
"Jade Purity Ancestor has arrived too!" Zhao Ziyuan's face was beaming with joy.
Those on the Immortal Path paled in surprise. Was the New Life Path truly planning to unleash a massive upheaval, with all the Ancestor personally attending?
Cao Qianqiu's expression also froze slightly; something was definitely wrong!
Everyone was terrified, realizing what was happening.
This time, the people on New Life Path aren't threatening or intimidating us; they're really going to fight a major battle!
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, all in one look!
At this moment, even those outside the plateau understood that the overwhelming murderous aura today was foreshadowed and destined to cause a sensation.
Qin Ming understood. No wonder Lu Zizai told him to go all out that day; it turned out that the Ancestor of New Life Path had been preparing to intervene long ago.
According to rumors, Sky-Pillar, Jade Clarity Sect, Tathagata are all nearing the end of their lifespans.
The Ancestor are deliberately making a strong move when the world is watching. They are considering the future and want to intimidate all sides. They may even fight Cao Qianqiu to the death at any cost.
At that moment, both Sun Taichu and Zhao Wenhan felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
Right now, the issue isn't the number of people on either side, but rather the chilling realization that the other side is truly ready to attack, and is quite daring to do so, regardless of their lifespan!
Such Ancestor, daring to fight and kill, is the most terrifying!
Sun Taichu and Zhao Wenhan were extremely wary of it.
Because in extreme circumstances, Sky-Pillar, Lu Yu, and others might be willing to trade one for one, taking away the Immortal Path giants who harbor deep malice towards the New Life Path.
At this moment, Cao Qianqiu refrained from uttering any further extreme remarks.
He may be arrogant, but he doesn't want to fight madmen. If someone wants to drag him along, and he willingly joins in, wouldn't that be a huge loss for him in his prime?
Sun Taichu said, "Fellow Daoists, please wait. These are nothing. If you have any complaints, we can sit down and have some tea to discuss them."
Heavenly Dao, "There are too many complaints. Have some people forgotten that in the early days when the world changed, my New Life Path fought alone against giant beasts, mountain-sized plants, and all kinds of aliens, supporting us single-handedly? The bloody past was so tragic. At that time, your path had not yet appeared, and you had not yet risen. You relied entirely on the New Life Evolver for support. Now you think you've grown strong, and you're targeting people on the New Life Path at every turn. Have you no shame?"
Zhao Wenhan said, "How could we forget? The New Life Path is the foundation, with multiple paths competing healthily. During the Great Wilderness Expansion period, we were all brothers!"
Lu Yu began to speak, mentioning everything from the New Life Path to the allocation plan for the future Great Opening, and even the safety boundaries of each individual.
"And another very important point is that some people are shameless. Don't they know their own status and age? They bully the younger generation and kill my juniors on the New Life Path. They are so depraved and need to be taught a lesson!"
Clearly, only Sky-Pillar could say such down-to-earth things.
Although he didn't name names, everyone knew he was criticizing Cao Qianqiu.
"Anyone who dares to interfere and intentionally stifle the potential of our New Life Path geniuses will be retaliated against many times over!"
This time, the Sky Bearing Ancestor pointed directly at Cao Qianqiu's nose, revealing his hand directly.
Cao Qianqiu gripped the spear tightly, his knuckles cracking.
Sun Taichu grabbed him, preventing him from going forward.
Lu Yu said, "Back then, when we were in seclusion, the Overlord had an accident. Although many years have passed, this matter is not over yet. Today, let's settle the score!"
Cao Qianqiu's eyes were icy cold; his temper was about to explode.
"Let's put the past aside for now. Today's events were caused by a misunderstanding by the younger generation," Zhao Wenhan said, changing the subject and not wanting to settle old scores.
Heavenly Dao, "Today, anyone with eyes and a clear mind knows what's going on. It's Cao Cao's faction again, full of malice, targeting the New Life Path."
Upon hearing this, Cao Qianqiu could no longer tolerate it!
"You little brat, get over here right now!"
Before Lao Cao erupted, the Sky Bearing Ancestor launched a fierce attack first.
Cao Qianqiu was furious. He had never felt so aggrieved before. Today, he was worried that a few old guys would risk their lives to take him away, and he had been feeling resentful for a long time.
Now he's fearless!
In fact, after the Ancestor of New Life Path finished negotiating their terms, a major battle was inevitable; otherwise, no amount of talk would have mattered.
Their target was Cao Qianqiu, the most arrogant and boastful man in all these years, and they wanted to make him pay for his bets.
Even if other Ancestor of the Immortal Path block or assist him, and they cannot kill him, they will still beat him severely so that he will never forget it for the rest of his life, and that he will think twice before he dares to lay a hand on him again.
Cao Qianqiu shouted, "You old scoundrel, I've tolerated you for too long! Come on, perhaps I can send you all away today!"
Heavenly Dao, "Fine, fine, fine! I came here today mainly for you. I'm going to tear you apart with my bare hands!"
Above the plateau, the situation among the Grandmaster Level figures can change in an instant. They were just negotiating, and now they're about to fight to the death. It's ultimately unavoidable.
Some of the Ancestor of the Immortal Path remained in the Ancestral Court, while others went to explore the Fourth Forbidden Land. Currently, their numbers are at a disadvantage.
Just then, Black and White Light burst forth, and someone stood in the Yin Yang Diagram, arriving from the horizon in an instant.
"Indeed, the baptism of Heavenly Light two hundred years ago was triggered by you, and you have also reached the level of the Ancestor!" Sun Taichu said.
The abbot of Yin Yang Temple has arrived, and another Ancestor of New Life Path has come.
"Boom!"
Sky-Pillar set off, his strength capable of supporting the heavens. He was like an Ancient God Heaven-Opening. With a single slap, the terrifying light of the Heavenly Light was shattered, dispersing all the thick, dark clouds, and he struck Cao Qianqiu.
Although the Present Tathagata was very silent and rarely spoke, he directly attacked at the crucial moment, and the terrifying Heavenly Light was like the Solar Yang exploding.
In an instant, boundless Heavenly Light engulfed this place.
While attacking Cao Qianqiu, he was also keeping an eye on Sun Taichu and Zhao Wenhan. As his eyes opened and closed, runes intertwined, and a field materialized, appearing in front of him as if a mysterious kingdom had descended, blocking the two of them.
Lu Yu made his move, and his first strike was also aimed at Cao Qianqiu. He controlled the Six Qi, and the light of his fist fell, illuminating mountains and rivers. All the laws of creation and destruction were in the blink of an eye.
Then six Six Sovereigns emerged from the Six Qi, all wearing Crown Bead Curtain and exuding unparalleled majesty, and simultaneously blasted Lao Cao to death.
Furthermore, Black and White Light flashed, Yin-Yang Qi surged, and the old abbot of the Yin Yang Temple also erupted behind Cao Qianqiu!
"I...!" Cao Qianqiu exclaimed in shock and anger, having never fought such a frustrating and passive battle before.
Even though Sun Taichu and Zhao Wenhan came to his aid immediately, Lao Cao still suffered a severe blow, coughing up blood on the spot, and almost dropping his spear.
Not only that, Jade Clarity Sect also arrived, leading Yu Shaohua, the Ancestor of the Beyond the Mundane Yang Land, into the battle.
Although Yu Shaohua is supposed to stand on the side of the Immortal Path at this time, he has a good relationship with the Ancestor of the New Life Path, and is currently in a rather passive position.
Boom!
Cao Qianqiu flew through the air, blood flowing from all seven orifices, his body covered in cracks.
He was in a state of Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light; the profuse bleeding indicated that he had suffered a severe injury.
At this moment, the nine Ancestor are at war. If we add the Esoteric Sect giant watching from a distance, then it's like Ten Suns Across the Sky.
Outside the plateau, Lu Zizai's five fingers glowed, and several golden chains extended from his fingertips, respectively locking Pu Heng and his two junior brothers, as well as Wei Yunqi, Sun Taichu's second disciple, capturing them all alive.
At the same time, he sent Qin Ming down to challenge the seed of the Second Realm of the Immortal Path.
The people of the Immortal Path were all shaken. Had the New Life Path gone mad? From the oldest to the youngest, everyone was determined to fight the Immortal Path to the death today.
"Anyone else, come here!" Lu Zizai said, looking into the distance and fixing his gaze on Cao Qianqiu, Zhao Wenhan, Sun Taichu, and the other Personal Disciple.
Qin Ming followed the advice, bathed in the five-colored glow, and walked forward with his sword in hand. He immediately challenged Li Qingxu, demanding that he step down and that the fight begin with him.
Deep in the plateau, above the night sky, Cao Qianqiu was shocked and furious. Everyone had come to beat him up; they were all slapping him, Fist Print him, and kicking him.
He was about to explode.
Most terrifyingly, the spear in his hand, which originated from Black White Mountain, was imbued with divine runes, causing him to fall unexpectedly into the air. This terrified him and filled him with uncontrollable rage.
To be honest, it's a few hundred words shorter than the combined two chapters, so that's all for today.
