We can't wait any longer!
The Creation Daoist stared intently in the direction of the Nine Mountains Realm, knowing in his heart that if the Primordial Purple Qi truly fell into the hands of the Thunderclap Temple, he would surely die.
His betrayal of Lu Mo might be unknown to others, but it could never be hidden from him.
The only way to ensure our survival now is to seize the Primordial Purple Qi, either to break through to a higher level or to use it as a stepping stone to join the Supreme Dao.
The Nine Mountains Realm was originally flying towards the Underworld, but Vast Sun Mountain was already blocking the way between the Underworld and the Nine Mountains Realm. At this moment, the Creation Daoist made a move, and naturally, he blocked the Nine Mountains Realm's path.
The Creation Daoist made his decision, but he still kept an eye on the Nine Nether Emperor.
He was not afraid of the Nine Mountains Realm, but the Nine Nether Emperor worried him, fearing that the Emperor would intervene to protect the Nine Mountains Realm.
The Nine Nether Emperor did not move.
He simply stared at the Creation Daoist, showing no reaction, seemingly only able to watch helplessly as the Nine Mountains Realm was blocked.
The Creation Daoist realized: Could it be that the Nine Nether Emperor is unable to leave the Underworld, or perhaps he has other concerns?
Overjoyed, he couldn't help but turn back to look at the Nine Nether Emperor again, only to see the Nine Nether Emperor watching his retreating figure, his eyes showing no anger whatsoever, but even a hint of... smile?
What is he laughing at?
"Charge!"
The shouts of ten thousand voices interrupted his doubts. The Creation Daoist looked ahead and saw that across the vast land of millions of miles, there were thousands of dark green mountain peaks.
The drums thundered, and blinding white beams of light converged across the heavens and earth, like a silver spear piercing the sky, aimed directly at the Creation Daoist.
" Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation?"
Creation Daoist had long heard of the great formation's reputation and knew that Vast Sun Mountain had suffered defeat after defeat against it, almost to the point of helplessness.
He held the Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation in high regard, but as Golden Immortal, he didn't take it too seriously.
Seeing the beam of light piercing his chest, he neither dodged nor avoided it, continuing to charge straight towards the Nine Mountains Realm, his goal unwavering.
The pillar of light intersected with his figure, transforming into a blazing, blinding sphere of light, yet remaining silent.
Then, a shrill, inhuman roar came from within the sphere of light.
"You got it!"
"From within the Nine Mountains Realm, "Xiao Yuying called out.
Senior Sister Zhang, along with dozens of disciples, stood beside her, surrounding the Nine-Chapter Calculation Formation.
This place was clearly the command center of the Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation, where they used the Comprehensive Mirror (Comprehensive Mirror) to direct the array.
With the help of the Heavenly Emperor Body lurking in Vast Sun Mountain, the Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation had long been built within the territory of Vast Sun Mountain, and the Primordial Magnetism power it mobilized was now far greater than before.
The Sea Region, the former territory of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, and even the area around Vast Sun Mountain are all dotted with nodes of the great array.
Even next to several of the main peaks of Vast Sun Mountain, there is a dark blue-green mountain peak.
The range of this Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation is more than three times larger than before!
More importantly, the Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation has been updated and iterated hundreds of times, with three major iterations. The information that the Creation Daoist obtained from Vast Sun Mountain is outdated!
"This is not enough to harm a Golden Immortal," Senior Sister Zhang said calmly. "Our main objective is to buy time for the Nine Mountains Realm to relocate."
After Lu Mo revealed the uses of the purple qi, the Nine Mountains Realm had only one choice—to seek refuge in the Underworld and rely on the protection of the Nine Nether Emperor, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
At this moment, Jade Pool is untrustworthy, Supreme Dao is untrustworthy, only the Nine Nether Emperor, who is a mortal enemy of Lu Mo and is also a lone wolf, has great potential for cooperation with the Nine Mountains Realm.
But the Creation Daoist blocked their path.
With a thought, Senior Sister Zhang unleashed a dozen beams of light from the Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation, which struck the Creation Daoist.
Taking this opportunity, the Nine Mountains Realm continued their journey toward the Underworld.
Suddenly, a muffled sound, unlike a human voice, came from within the sphere of light.
Senior Sister Zhang and the others looked up and saw that the sky had suddenly split open, like a tattered cloth.
The crack slowly widened, swallowing the scorching ball of light whole. After chewing twice, it even seemed to burp.
"That is..."
A gray, ghostly phantom appeared like ripples on water. This thing had no face, no hands or feet; it was like a transparent gray ball of flesh, or a bulging stomach.
The monster turned to face the Nine Mountains Realm, its surface splitting open into hundreds of mouths, all curling up as if mocking the Nine Mountains Realm's overestimation of its own strength.
What kind of monster is this?
Senior Sister Zhang slowly shook her head, wondering what this Creation Daoist's Dharma Body was.
The Nine Nether Emperor finally spoke, seemingly expressing his feelings, yet also offering a hint to the people of the Nine Mountains Realm.
" The Spirit-Eating Tai Sui, its form is unpredictable, neither real nor illusory, capable of devouring all things to strengthen itself, even spacetime is its prey. Back then, relying on this Dharma Body, you were almost unstoppable, your cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds... among the Devil Ancestor, you rose to prominence."
The hundreds of mouths on the fleshy ball of Creation Daoist laughed in unison, replying simultaneously, "This is the Great Way of Creation!"
After saying that, he ignored the Nine Nether Emperor and flew towards the Nine Mountains Realm again.
The Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation was repeatedly activated, striking him as if hitting air, unable to harm him in the slightest. Clearly, what the Nine Nether Emperor said was true and not false.
That's really a bit shameless.
Just as the Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation failed to achieve its goal, a disciple suddenly shouted, "Something has happened in the Sea Region!"
Senior Sister Zhang looked at the Comprehensive Mirror and saw that the Dragon Lord Shuyu had sent a message that about ten or Human Race Dao Fruit had entered the Sea Region. Although there were no Golden Immortal, there were still a handful of True Immortal. Despite having the advantage of terrain, the Dragon Lord Shuyu could not stop them all.
Senior Sister Zhang took a deep breath, knowing that with the Creation Daoist leading the way and the Nine Nether Emperor not having truly made his move, some people were becoming impatient.
Her mind raced, and she immediately made a decision, saying, "Ignore the Creation Daoist for now, Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation help Dragon Lord Shuyu! The Divine Firmament Legion, proceed to the Sea Region immediately!"
"Yes!"
The surrounding disciples nodded in agreement and relayed the order in all directions.
Xie Qingxue received the order.
As a high-ranking member of the Nine Mountains Sect, she possessed extremely accurate intelligence and naturally knew that the Nine Mountains Sect's enemies, besides the Golden Immortal Creation Daoist, also included those Dao Fruit from the Sea Region with ill intentions.
Five True Immortal, and seven Loose Immortal...
This is an even bigger spectacle than when the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor faced the siege of the Four Sects.
Xie Qingxue gripped the Green Duckweed Sword tightly in her hand.
In that great battle, the Tianhe Sect was completely wiped out, and now the Nine Mountains Sect faces a situation that is ten or even a hundred times more dangerous than before.
After all, the Primordial Purple Qi is something that would make any Dao Fruit in the world covet, and it would be enough to destroy the Tianhe Sect ten times over.
She gazed at the sky, and for some reason, her junior brother Yan Wushuang's question from before echoed in her ears again, "Senior sister, can you hide?"
Xie Qingxue looked back and gazed at the Nine Mountains Realm. A sense of relief welled up in her heart, and she leaped out of the courtyard.
The Divine Firmament Fleet has assembled.
One thousand and eighty warships floated silently in the void, their purple-blue light illuminating the sky and the faces of every member of the legion, making their silence all the more profound.
Xie Qingxue took two deep breaths, a thousand words swirling in her heart, but only one sentence came out:
"Follow me to meet the enemy."
The mighty fleet, aided by the power of the Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation, sped towards the Sea Region.
A group of people also arrived at the Sea Region from the Western Continent.
"Greetings, Glazed Buddha Ancestor!"
The Azure Abyss Dragon King knelt on the floor of the Dragon Palace, all traces of the Dragon Clan's arrogance gone.
Get up.
The Azure Abyss Dragon King raised his head and saw a young-looking monk before him. However, he dared not underestimate this person— the Glazed Buddha Ancestor, one of the Five Direction Buddhas, with the cultivation of Golden Immortal.
Behind the Glazed Buddha Ancestor were two attendant Bodhisattva of True Immortal level and eight Loose Immortal Arhat, a group of eleven people who had just arrived from the Western Continent.
The Glazed Buddha Ancestor nodded to the Azure Abyss Dragon King, his voice still gentle. "If the Dragon King is willing to convert to Buddhism, then we are family."
"Yes!"
The Azure Abyss Dragon King was overjoyed. Although he had failed in his previous collaboration with the Golden-Winged Great Peng, he had inadvertently made contact with the Demon Race race and now had the Thunderclap Temple as a powerful backer.
Now that Thunderclap Temple controls the Northern Continent and has taken over Jade Pool, its power is firmly established. How will the Dragon Lord Shuyu compete with me for the Sea Region in the future?
Thinking of this, he immediately asked, " Buddha Ancestor, why don't we directly attack the Nine Mountains, capture and kill Zheng Fa, and seize the Primordial Purple Qi?"
In this way, the Dragon Lord Shuyu would naturally die without a burial place.
The Glazed Buddha Ancestor didn't speak, but glanced at him.
The Azure Abyss Dragon King felt a chill run down his spine, as if this Buddha Ancestor could see through all his little thoughts. He immediately knelt on the ground again and kowtowed, saying, "This disciple knows his sins."
The Glazed Buddha Ancestor remained expressionless and did not urge him to rise. He simply said, "Have you seen the fate of the Supreme Dao?"
"Without..."
"These people are nothing but weaklings; it's good to let them fight it out."
The Glazed Buddha Ancestor's tone was full of confidence.
"What if the Primordial Purple Qi falls into the hands of that Creation Devil Ancestor..."
"Do you think just anyone can use the Primordial Purple Qi?" The Glazed Buddha Ancestor chuckled, seemingly unconcerned. "This Xuanwei —besides the Great Vehicle Buddha Ancestor, who is qualified to use it?"
"This person is not fortunate in Creation of timing; he is not a cause for concern."
The Azure Abyss Dragon King didn't quite understand Thunderclap Temple's confidence, but he could only nod in agreement.
The Glazed Buddha Ancestor didn't offer any further explanation, but instead looked at the Xuanwei Sea.
In the Xuanwei Sea, the Divine Firmament Legion has already clashed with the invading Dao Fruit.
With the help of the terrain, the evolved Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation, and the Dragon Lord Shuyu, although they couldn't defeat the group of Dao Fruit for the time being, they suppressed them in the Sea Region, preventing them from going ashore.
Xie Qingxue stood before the five True Immortal, holding the Green Duckweed Sword, not retreating an inch.
"This Nine Mountains Sect is truly extraordinary... No wonder the Great Vehicle Buddha Ancestor valued Zheng Fa so highly."
The Glazed Buddha Ancestor murmured softly.
The Azure Abyss Dragon King was taken aback, secretly alarmed. When the Glazed Buddha Ancestor spoke of Zheng Fa, there was a hint of apprehension in his tone, completely unlike the disdainful tone he had shown towards the Creation Devil Ancestor just moments before.
Could it be that Zheng Fa is a greater threat in the eyes of the Glazed Buddha Ancestor?
The Glazed Buddha Ancestor seemed to truly hear his thoughts, shaking his head and smiling, "How long has the Creation Daoist cultivated? How long has Zheng Fa cultivated?"
"From the moment he entered the Dao to the Dao Fruit, it took him just over a hundred years!"
"What is Creation compared to him?"
The Azure Abyss Dragon King nodded in agreement. Zheng Fa's cultivation speed was truly unprecedented and astonishing.
"If it were merely talent, that would be one thing, ultimately unable to change the status quo. But... this person's Creation is entirely within the control of the Great Vehicle Buddha Ancestor, like a fish in a net," the Glazed Buddha Ancestor continued, "But Zheng Fa..."
"He has ruined countless schemes of the Great Vehicle Buddha Ancestor; he is truly a great scourge to our Thunderclap Temple."
As the Glazed Buddha Ancestor spoke, his voice inexplicably took on a fierce edge:
"Although the Great Vehicle Buddha Ancestor doesn't care about this person, I've come from the East today to capture and kill him. We absolutely cannot let him obtain the Primordial Purple Qi."
The Glazed Buddha Ancestor looked towards the Nine Mountains Realm.
The Creation Daoist was, after all, Golden Immortal, and his escape techniques were extremely fast; he had already caught up with the Nine Mountains Realm.
His fleshy face blossomed with countless smiles.
The Sun-Moon Bell rang out, transforming into a giant golden bell shadow that blocked his way.
"A treasure from a hidden cave?" he exclaimed.
"It's not enough for us to eat!"
The other mouth replied.
"I think this Grotto-Heaven World is quite nice," another mouth said.
There are too many people!
"There are many cultivators too!"
"Enough for us to share!"
"Watch me!"
The mouth at the very top of the fleshy ball shouted, its lips wide open, and it bit down hard in mid-air.
The phantom of the Sun-Moon Bell tore open a large hole, behind which was a spatial rift. Within the rift, the Three Enclosures and Four Symbols, and the mortal cities, were all laid out before one's eyes.
"This Creation Devil Ancestor..."
Seeing that the Creation Daoist had broken through the world barrier of the Nine Mountains Realm so easily, the Azure Abyss Dragon King was astonished.
" The Great Vehicle Buddha Ancestor once said that the Creation Daoist's Dharma Body body cultivates the Path of Devouring, Divine Ability are comparable to those of Ancient Immortal Gods. However, he has gone astray and failed to comprehend the True Intention of Human Race, making it difficult for him to advance further." The Glazed Buddha Ancestor also sighed, "Without attaining the Great Dao, no matter how many Divine Ability one possesses, they are nothing but fleeting clouds."
"Then Buddha Ancestor, look at the Nine Mountains Realm, can you stop it...?"
The Glazed Buddha Ancestor shook his head.
Suddenly, a huge hole appeared in the sky above the Nine Mountains Realm.
A fleshy ball burst in, its aura so overwhelming that even the Nine Mountains Realm was somewhat overwhelmed, and the sky, like transparent glass, was riddled with cracks.
In the mortal realm, the earth shook and mountains trembled.
"Activate the grand formation! Don't panic!" Shouts echoed across the mortal realm. "Stay indoors, don't run around!"
Upon hearing the immortal's command, the mortals scattered without the slightest hesitation, and the streets were instantly deserted.
They hid in their homes, looking fearfully at the sky through the windows.
A century of peace and stability has made the mortals of the Nine Mountains Realm accustomed to a peaceful life.
This is the first time such a powerful enemy has invaded the Nine Mountains Realm.
They stared at the grotesque ball of flesh, barely daring to breathe, their bodies trembling.
"The meat from this place looks pretty good."
"Enough! Everyone gets one!"
I want to eat more.
Why should you eat more?!
The mouth on the Creation Daoist's body started making a racket, growing louder and louder until even mortals understood that he intended to make them their meal, which filled them with even greater despair.
"First, find Zheng Fa, and then find the Primordial Purple Qi!"
Another mouth spoke, and the others, being quite reasonable, leaped and rushed towards the Purple Tenuity Enclosure.
Ordinary people, looking up at the sky, are extremely nervous.
" The Immortal-Slayer Sword Formation, activate!"
A soft shout came from the depths of the Everlasting Violet Star Valley.
Four points of cold light shone from the starry sky, growing brighter and brighter until they were even more dazzling than the sun in the sky.
The four beams of light suddenly exploded, like fireworks, transforming into a cluster of stars. The starlight converged and formed four giant sword phantoms, hanging high in the sky.
As the sword formation unfolded, time seemed to freeze in the Xuanwei Realm. murderous intent filled the heavens and earth, all spirits fell silent, and all living beings were filled with fear.
" The Immortal-Slayer Sword Formation?"
The Glazed Buddha Ancestor suddenly looked up and exclaimed in disbelief.
