Outside the Mountain Protection Formation.
Yuanshi had barely finished cursing Duobao when he attacked him directly. A vast, overwhelming saintly might surged toward Duobao.
Seeing this, how could Duobao not understand? Yuanshi intended to kill him!
He slapped his own chest, sending out a stream of vital essence blood, which he used to activate a life-saving treasure.
Whoosh!
A blue banner immediately shielded Duobao.
This Water Control Banner was precisely the life-saving measure Tongtian had left for Duobao!
Once the Water Control Banner appeared, it released dazzling blue light that wrapped around Duobao and carried him straight back into the Mountain Protection Formation.
This made Yuanshi lose face yet again, and his face flushed crimson!
A mere disciple of the Interception Sect had actually escaped his grasp. How was he supposed to show his face now?!
As soon as Duobao returned to the island, all the disciples gathered around him.
Seeing the three shameless, despicable Saints outside, they were utterly furious.
Fortunately, Senior Brother Duobao had a protective treasure given to him by Master. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Boom!
Before they could react, the three Saints erupted with terrifying auras and charged straight toward Golden Ao Island.
The Mountain Protection Formation also unleashed its formidable power, blocking the force of the three saintly auras.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out. Above Golden Ao Island, it seemed as though a void had formed, while space collapsed inch by inch.
The three Saints actually intended to forcefully break through Tongtian's sacred ground!
Duobao's expression changed drastically as he shouted, "Don't stay here! Hurry to Master's side!"
Hearing this, they hurried toward Biyou Palace.
The three Saints had attacked together, and many people had already witnessed this scene.
In a certain stretch of space outside Golden Ao Island.
Nuwa was watching Golden Ao Island. She was helping neither side.
When she saw Yuanshi and the other two attack Tongtian's disciples directly, she disdained to associate with Yuanshi.
She was even less willing to commit such a bestial act.
In another stretch of space.
Taishang was also watching in silence.
As the senior brother of Yuanshi and Tongtian, he had no intention of intervening either.
Whether the Interception Sect made it onto the list or the Chan Sect did, it had no effect on him whatsoever.
All he wanted was for enough people to fill the empty spaces on the Investiture of the Gods.
He even had the perverse desire to watch the Interception Sect be wiped out with his own eyes.
Tongtian's actions had caused him, as the senior brother, to lose a great deal of face, and Taishang was extremely angry about it.
Tongtian was no longer a Saint, so there was no need for him to do anything. He only had to watch quietly.
The three Saints outside would handle everything properly.
At this moment, Tongtian, who was inside Biyou Palace, already knew everything that had happened.
However, he still could not show himself.
It was not because he was afraid. Rather, he had already refined 99.9 percent of the Dao Fruit!
Only the final sliver remained before it could be completely refined.
At that moment, Tongtian would attain the Dao of the Great Dao Saint!
Soon, you three hypocrites won't be able to gloat anymore!
Outside Golden Ao Island, where thunderous roars rang out everywhere.
The three Saints had now completely relaxed. If Tongtian were still a Saint, he should have attacked them long ago!
Yet they had been attacking for so long, and he still did not dare come out. If this was not an act, then what was it?
"Everyone, put in a little more effort. This tortoise shell will soon be shattered completely by us."
"Judging from this, Tongtian really hasn't recovered."
Zhunti said with a sinister grin.
Yuanshi and Jieyin also wore broad smiles as they said, "This really is an excellent opportunity!"
Now, let's see how you, Tongtian, can continue acting arrogant!
Once the Mountain Protection Formation was broken, they would have to teach Tongtian a harsh lesson!
After breaking the formation, they would first force Tongtian to sign the Investiture of the Gods. Then they could send the disciples of the Interception Sect to fill the list.
Moreover, all the members of the Interception Sect happened to be on the island right now, saving them the trouble of searching for them!
They all understood this perfectly, and the force in their hands grew stronger and stronger.
The Mountain Protection Formation simply could not withstand the combined attacks of the three Saints.
The disciples of the Interception Sect watched helplessly as the Mountain Protection Formation grew fainter bit by bit, and despair filled their hearts.
Master had yet to finish his seclusion, while the three Saints would certainly not let the Interception Sect off easily this time.
Perhaps they had come for the legendary great calamity.
Could today truly be the day the Interception Sect perished?
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Duobao weakly coughed three times before sweeping his gaze across all the disciples. "Today is the day the Interception Sect faces its greatest crisis!"
"As long as Master is here, the Interception Sect will remain! While Master is still in seclusion, no one is to set foot inside Biyou Palace—not even a Saint!"
"If you want to enter Biyou Palace, then step over my corpse!"
With that, a heroic, resolute aura burst from Duobao. Even if he had to die, he would hold them back!
"No disciple of the Interception Sect will be a coward!"
Zhao Gongming spoke with equal resolve. In an instant, the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Beads appeared before him.
San Xiao wore equally determined expressions and summoned all their treasures. They would have no regrets even in death!
At this moment, not a trace of fear of death could be seen on the faces of the Interception Sect's disciples. There was only an unyielding determination to press forward!
This place was their harbor, the place they would protect for their entire lives!
The power of the primordial world was violently chaotic. Arson, murder, looting, and theft occurred all the time. Yet this place had given them protection like a home. Under their Master's protection, their lives had been incomparably wonderful. Now, it was time for them to protect their Master in turn!
Whoever wanted to harm their Master, no matter who it was, would have to pay the price, even if they had to fight to the death!
"We fear neither life nor death!"
"We will protect the supreme majesty of our Interception Sect!"
At this moment, the disciples of the Interception Sect roared in unison.
Boom!
Before long, Golden Ao Island began to tremble.
The three Saints continued their relentless assault. With one final explosion, the Mountain Protection Formation instantly transformed into specks of starlight and dispersed.
At this moment, the three Saints burst into delighted laughter!
They had finally broken through!
This tortoise shell had finally been shattered!
After today, they no longer had to fear the great calamity.
Yuanshi threw back his head and laughed. "Junior Brother Tongtian! Things have come to this, and you still refuse to come out?!"
Yuanshi's gaze turned toward Biyou Palace. He did not pay the disciples of the Interception Sect, whose faces were filled with hatred, the slightest attention.
As long as he forced Tongtian onto the Investiture of the Gods.
The Interception Sect disciples below could all be sent to fill the list!
"Tongtian!"
"Are you still not coming out to welcome us?!"
The Two Western Saints also shouted provocatively right after him.
The voices of the three Saints were filled with smugness.
"What? Are the three of you tired of living?!"
At this moment, an angry roar came from inside Biyou Palace. Immediately afterward, the three Saints felt as though a primordial beast had fixed its gaze upon them.
The pressure released by Tongtian directly forced the saintly might of the three Saints into a corner, where it trembled in fear.
In an instant, the smug expressions of the three Saints were replaced by terror.
