Inheritance Breaks the Deadlock, Turning the Tide

Golden Spirit Holy Mother accepted the command. Wielding the Dragon Tiger Ruyi, she gathered a group of powerful Jiejiao Disciples and formed a strike squad. Like a sharpened blade, the squad charged fiercely at the junction between the Chan Sect and the Western Sect. Caught off guard, the Chan Sect and Western Sect saw their defensive line briefly loosen.

Meanwhile, Qin Yu drove his magic treasures with all his strength, further expanding the range affected by the flaw in the Investiture of the Gods List. The power of laws around the Investiture Platform grew even more chaotic, disrupting the enemy's attacks to a certain extent. Yet the enemy quickly recovered and intensified their offensive. Jiejiao remained in a precarious situation, and Qin Yu had to devise a more decisive strategy to turn the tide.

At this critical moment, Qin Yu suddenly recalled that within the Mysterious Legacy he had acquired in the ruins was a method capable of briefly controlling the primal source power of heaven and earth. The method was exceedingly dangerous; the slightest misstep would bring a backlash from that source power. But there was no better option now.

Gritting his teeth, Qin Yu activated the cultivation art of the Mysterious Legacy and communicated with the hidden source power between heaven and earth. At once, the winds and clouds changed color. Above the already chaotic Investiture Platform, mysterious chaotic patterns emerged one after another. Qin Yu rapidly formed hand seals, drawing that vast source power toward the enemy.

Everyone on the enemy's side felt an irresistible, terrifying force bearing down on them. The Heavenly Court's Heavenly Soldiers and Generals fell into disarray, with many sent flying backward by the impact of the source power; the Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals drove their magic treasures with all their might to resist, yet were still shaken until their blood and qi churned; even the Buddhist radiance surrounding the Western Sect's Arhats and Bodhisattvas dimmed somewhat.

Seeing this, the Jiejiao Disciples' morale soared. Golden Spirit Holy Mother shouted, "Follow me and kill our way out!" She led the Jiejiao Disciples in a counterattack, seizing the momentum. For a time, Jiejiao's offensive surged like a tide as they plunged into fierce combat with the enemy.

Qin Yu controlled the source power, constantly disrupting the enemy's rhythm. Under the Jiejiao Disciples' valiant counterattack, the situation gradually turned around. Flaws began to appear in the allied forces of the Heavenly Court, the Chan Sect, and the Western Sect.

Duobao Daoist seized the moment and once again deployed his magic treasure, strengthening his control over the flaw in the Investiture of the Gods List. The Investiture of the Gods List blazed with light, and the souls of those Jiejiao Disciples that had originally been drawn away instead surged toward the allied forces, throwing their minds into turmoil.

Daoist Jieyin of the Western Sect furrowed his brow. Knowing that the allied forces would fall into a desperate predicament if this continued, he hurriedly shouted, "Do not linger in battle! Steady our formation first!" But Jiejiao's morale was soaring—how could they possibly let this opportunity slip away? Wudang Holy Mother led a group of disciples skilled in escape arts and quietly circled behind the allied forces, launching a surprise attack. Attacked from both front and rear, the allied forces instantly descended into chaos.

Jiejiao's astonishing reversal in the Investiture of the Gods Calamity shook every force across the primordial world. Those smaller factions that had originally remained neutral, seeing Jiejiao display such formidable strength and such means of breaking the deadlock, began reconsidering their positions one after another.

Some forces that had long harbored grievances against the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect proactively sent people to contact Qin Yu, expressing their willingness to support Jiejiao in secret. Internal conflicts also arose within the Heavenly Court, the Chan Sect, and the Western Sect. The Jade Emperor accused the Chan Sect and Western Sect of failing to detect Jiejiao's methods in advance, allowing the situation to spiral out of control; the Chan Sect blamed the Heavenly Court for poor command, while the Western Sect regretted rashly joining the operation against Jiejiao.

Qin Yu knew full well that although they had achieved a temporary victory, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity was far from over. On one hand, he soothed the Jiejiao Disciples and rewarded their bravery in battle. On the other, he began planning the next move: how to use this victory to further consolidate Jiejiao's position and advance toward his goal of attaining Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. At the same time, he remained wary of a possible enemy counterattack. After all, those three factions would never admit defeat so easily.
